of jurisdiction over the matter, so that put paul ryan in with budget and energy and commerce and uptonwhat you're going to see is going forward is paul ryan's fingers will be on any potential deal that could emerge between speaker boehner and president obama. and that's actually very important for speaker boehner because despite the loss that paul ryan had on a national level, he still has a considerable amount of clout within the house republican conference where a lot of folks will look towards where ryan goes. if ryan votes yes, that gives them enough cover to vote yes on a deal. >> the republican house conference seems to be operating in an alternative universe because mr. ryan told abc that the president didn't have a mandate. rather, he and his house gap gop have one. he said i think the ideas we talked about, i think they're popular ideas. did the election not happen? >> when they say they're popular ideas, they believe that -- >> that the electorate dismissed them and did not vote for them. >> but they believe that the issue of the debt is still one that they're very strong on,

he appointed dave camp, the chairman of ways and means, as well as fred upton, the chairman of the energynd commerce committee. so it's not just paul ryan who was put in this special position. there's these three guys also acting or have advisory roles. but that aside, i mean, the electorate for midterm elections are very different and tend to favor republicans especially because how the districts are carved up now. the electorate tends to be older. it tends to have less minorities. i don't know that this hinges on it, but i will say that when you look at polling right now, it does show that the burden is on republicans if there is a move over the fis kwcal cliff, rightw gallup and pew said republicans will be the ones taking the blame. >> nancy pelosi insists that raising tax rate for the rich is going to happen. let me show you this. >> we've seen talk about a possible compromise that would leave rates the same but cap deductions for high-income earners. is that something that's acceptable? >> no. >> not at all. no way. >> well, no. i mean, the president made it very clear in his campai

upton. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to remind all of us here that this committee has a very long tradition even before john dingell, of working with strong members to identify problems in this country, to expose that and then coming back with legislation to fix it so it doesn't happen again. and one of those -- as we all review this case and see what was there, recent inspection, the leaking boiler, the bird flying around, i mean it's just -- what gives? if this was found just recently and it's our understanding there are similar types of contamination in earlier years, what is the problem -- what is the problem by not shutting down something like this until it's corrected? and if you don't have the authority, then we need to make sure that it's there. and seems pretty reasonable that you did have the authority to not only have unannounced inspections, but to come in and correct it some it didn't get to this stage, certainly with the deaths of people across the country and the questions that are raised today. and

the jungle from upton sinclair. this summer of 1968 when i was 14 years old. the library and public library, we did not have a bookstore. there did not use to be a bookstore or amazon. it was an absolute lifeline. may have of book mobile to go once or twice a week. those experiences not only made me a reader but also a writer. the public library is not a luxury but of necessity certainly with the digital divide people get computer access that of the book wiry terminal. many people do not have access yet and depend on the public library. that is my servant of the importance of the library and a functioning democracy. >> host: next call comes from florida. >> caller: it is very nice to talk to you, mr. davis. i have read a couple of your books. you have work to get a lot of books available and audio. talk about the need to understand why history is relevant, hw break -- hw brands appeared if you look back prior to the civil war and now you are geographically divided with one part of the country represented by one part or another. and you talk about that to be a

cliff and tax reform, entitlement stuff, always goes through ways and means -- dave camp, like fred upton. judiciary committee, he will make a bid for the science committee. he will find himself in competition with james sensenbrenner, who indicated he is interested in that job as well. ralph hall, the chairman now, term limits. transportation and infrastructure headed by john mica, he is term-limited in that role, and there are a few people will have seniority and the either have committee assignments or are not looked upon as viable. it looks like we are passing the baton to a new generation. bill schuster, the son of bud shuster, old transportation committee chairman, he is making a very strong play for the chairmanship of that. that will be just in time for congress to start thinking about another reauthorization of transportation programs, the highway bill, if you will. there is a short-term extension. they will have to revisit that in the 113th congress and representative schuster will at least have a strong claim to the gavel of that committee. >> i would just tick off two more --

fred upton, who's the chairman of the energy and commerce committee where a lot of health care and alot of energy policy goes through, the committee of jurisdiction there, is going to be staying for another two years. and ways and means, which might see a lot of action with fiscal cliff, with tax reform, any kind of entitlement stuff also goes thruways and means, dave camp, another michigander is not going anywhere either. the judiciary committee which is headed by lamar smith right now, he's term limited, he's going to make a bid for the science committee. and he will find himself in competition with james sensenbrenner who has indicated he is interest inside that job as well. ralph hall, who's the republican -- who's the chairman now is term limited. also the transportation and infrastructure committee which is now headed by john mica, and mica is term limited in that role, and there are a few people who have seniority, but they either have committee assignments or are not looked upon as viable. it looks as though we are passing the baton to a new generation. bill schuster, who is

upton:, mr. speaker, i wish dave curson a warm welcome to join this body.e have great members on both sides of the aisle. i will say from the republican perspective, i don't think any of us knew you before. we look forward to getting to know you in the next couple of weeks. we know you will be an active member and look forward to your service and getting to know you well. and we wish you the very best. at that point, i yield back to the dean of the house, mr. dingell. mr. dingell: i thank my dear friend. and at this time, mr. speaker, i yield to my dear friend, our new member to our new member, dave curson, with my congratulations and good wishes. mr. curson: thank you, congressman dingell, it has been an honor to work with you. and thank you, mr. speaker and thanks to my new colleagues and thanks to all the guests. and thanks to my wife sharon, who has been my rock -- mr. curson: and my family who gave me the courage and the strength to get here and to all my supporters, the hundreds of volunteers and the many union brothers and ters who worked so hard to

you'll have dave camp from ways and means and fred upton are all sitting in on the daily leadership meetingsall on the same page as far as the fiscal cliff goes. >> bill: for ryan, you've been writing about this, for ryan, this is a chance to maybe show some leadership and maybe pull off a deal. how does he approach it? we know what a hard liner he is, given the two budgets that he put forward and the two budgets that the house republicans all voted for. >> ryan's got two big choices here. he has typically been an ideological leader within the party for the last couple of years offering the budgets so he can really stick to his principles here. resist any tax increases and we're talking about rates because he has gotten behind boehner's increases to revenue. but a major point of contention for him the big thing he wants to see is entitlement reform. long-term structural reforms that are going to bring down what entitlements are costing this country every year. that's going to be his sort of ideological ground but if he's able to make a lot of progress on that issue, we could see him emerging

fred upton the chairman of the energy and commerce committee where a lot of health care and energy policy go through. the committee of jurisdiction there will be staying for another two years. and ways and -- any type of entitlement stuff. dave camp. he is not going anywhere either. where we are go to see significant committees where there will be turnover is the judiciary committee. he is term limited. he will make a bid for the science committee. he will find himself in competition. ralph hall, the chairman now is term limited. also the transportation and infrastructure committee. there are a few people who happen to have seniority but either have committee assignments or not looked upon as viable. we are passing the baton to a new generation. bill schuster is making a very strong play for the chairmanship of that. that will be just in time for congress to start to think about another reauthorization of the transportation programs, the highway bill, if you will. there is a short-term extension. they will need to revisit that in the 113th congress and representative shuster will have a s

your experts would be important to us in this investigation said the entrenches sense that chairman upton referenced in his opening statement is something that really must be overcome. i am of the opinion that you have had all the authority that you needed and yes it was a previous commissioner and the previous administration so once again i would also ask that if there is a memo from general counsel at fda to the then commissioner about you don't have the authority to do what you said you were going to do with this enforcement letter, i think the committee really should see that as well and again, i think we should exercise every power that we have in order to get that. the reason it's important is, if if the legislation is indeed passed and passed hurriedly as has been recommended before the end of the year and yet you were not going to act on that authority than we are going to be right back here in the same suit with the same problem some point in the future. it may be a different commissioner from the fda and they will say well there's ambiguity but there is no ambiguity. you have a

harvard awarded him the thomas upton scholarship. pierre recently wrote an article about growing up as undocumented immigrant and here what is he said. "i am not a criminal, a monito , a predator, or swung had sits at someone doing nothing meaningful. i care for this country, as well as its sorrows and joys. i am not asking that our government maintain an open-door policy for immigrants. i am simply asking that it give an opportunity to those of us who have proven ourselves." well, pierre is right. america needs young people just like him who love their country and are dedicated to caring for our society's most vulnerable. so what do the american people think about the idea of the dream act? a bloomberg poll found that 64% of likely voters, almost two out of three, including 66% of independents support the policy compared to only 30% who oppose it. by a margin of 2-1 the american people know this is the right thing to do. now we need to pass a comprehensive immigration reform. on our side the negotiating effort will be led by senator

. >> you are absolutely right, and upton,to say to chairman that we need to get this right, do it before the end of the year, and not just say you are no fault. we will be -- you are at fault. we will be held responsible as members of congress to make sure the agency has the resources to do the job everybody expects you should have done. >> the gentleman from texas is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. we had a tragedy of significant proportions. 32 people have died. probably more will. we have a bipartisan investigation with the subcommittee. we understand that business as usual is not acceptable. having said that, apparently, the fda has decided this is something they could use to get more authority to regulate and inspect certain transactions that compounding pharmacies do. if they're really is a lack of regulatory authority at some level, then that is legitimate policy recommendations. if there is not a lack of regulatory authority in existence at state and federal law right now, then it is not necessary. my first question is to both dr. and hamburg dr. smith. a
