purpose but always a sense of community. two years ago, when president obama became president of the united states, he made his inaugural address and said, i want swift, bold action now. to address the needs of the american people. one week and one day after that speech, the house of representatives passed the recovery act. and then it became law in a matter of weeks after that. i tell you this because this was a bold, swift action that put resources out there to meet them at the natiothe imagination and, and san francisco has always been a leader in terms of posing a model that is worthy of national support. so because of his speech, our swift actions, but most of all, because of the sense of community that city officials in san francisco saw here, and because of the ongoing leadership of the tenderloin neighborhood development corp., people's lives will be changed. when you hear speeches and wonder what is that all about? president obama's speech is now being translated into a better life for many more people who live here or receive services here. the recovery act is very important. it is part of a number of things that have

the level for department of interior, united states fish and wildlife service, resource management, $1,204,247,000. the chair: for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> i ask to take up amendment number 295. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment 295 printed in the congressional record offered by mr. mcclintock of california. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcclintock: mr. chairman, the national fish and wildlife foundation is a government established, government financed so-called private nonprofit set up to act as a conduit to funnel public dollars to private environmental advocacy groups. the authorization for these grants has expired. i'm going to repeat that. there is no congressional authorization for this program, and yet the money just keeps rolling on. if we are actually serious about spending taxpayer money as carefully as they spend, what they've got left after they've paid their taxes, then we ought to start by insisting if congress is not authorized a program, it should not be funded. if we ignore this principle, then why do we have any committees ot

individual mandate and the remaining provisions are all inextricably bound together in purpose and must stand or fall as a single unit." two other federal judges have upheld the mandate and the broader law. the question of constitutionality also took center stage at a senate judiciary hearing today. part of the discussion focused on the constitution's commerce clause which gives congress the power to regulate commerce among the several states. the law's supporters say that gives lawmakers the authority to create a mandate. but georgetown university law professor randy barnett said while the constitution does grant certain powers, congress cannot decide whether people should buy insurance. >> the supreme court has time and time again referred to the congress' power and authorized congress to exercise its power to regulate activity, economic activity. that's what it says. and what we notice is that the court has never said that congress has the power to regulate economic matters, economic decisions, nor economic inactivity. >> suarez: harvard law school professor charles fried, solicitor general during the reagan admin

for purposes of this analysis and to take the most conservative view, we assume that there is net zero embodied carbon in those units. however we assume the full brunt of this construction cost, and that's what this red line has on the left. pime willing to say that the units here are actually a blend of all three construction types that we would find on site. type one, type three, and type five. from high-rise concrete down to wood frame construction. what we did is consider the wood frame as we took proportionately from the project build-out. how many would be type one, type three, and type five. what you have is a blended carbon rate. then what you see projecting out here is that the lower comparative energy use, because these units, of course, would be outfitted above existing title 24 standards, the terms of the development agreement. and what you see is at year 24 a complete carbon payback if you want to use that term. at that point in time with these conservative assumptions, on a one-for-one comparison, not even considering the e.m.t. or any of these other issues, the replacement at park merced pay off and b
