now some of us think we were wasting our time because as the senator from tennessee said this wasn't going to become law anyway. we're sitting around here when we ought to be passing trade bills. the president asked us to vote on his jobs bill. i wanted to give him an opportunity to have a vote the other day. you guys didn't want to vote on what the president was asking us to vote on without any changes. but you could prevent that, and you did. look, let's don't change this place. america doesn't need less debate. it needs more debate. and when 60 members of the united states senate decide to pass something, it will pass. i think we made a big mistake tonight. and as soon as we all kind of cool off and think about it over the weekend, i hope we'll undo what we did tonight because it's not in the best interest of this institution or the american people. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: the senate should function like the senate, and i acknowledge that. but we have major pieces of legislation that have been brought down as a result of not be

from the south. moisture across the carolinas. right now moving more toward tennessee, kentucky. see if any of the rain could sneak up toward us a little bit ahead of schedule. models are just models. remember that. 48 in york. 52 in winchester and frederick. 62 at andrews air force base. bill in newland checking in with 60. also from bowie this morning, and in leesburg and visibility, if you're north up toward 70 or western maryland or in martinsburg, you've got issues here with visibilities down a quarter mile with the fog there and not so bad in frederick but even up in northern frederick county, perhaps thurmont and westminster, watch out for the fog as well. monika samtani, we're now in the 5:00 hour. how is traffic? >> not too bad for a tuesday morning. we're looking good. we're going to show what you it looks like on the beltway. you see all of the yellow cars up here. the overnight construction being picked up, causing a little bit of slow traffic through the silver spring area. no big deals there. let's zoom into 270 from frederick all the way down to the point where is the lanes divide. let's take a live look at the

us up. i'll be brief. of course, i'm from memphis, tennessee, right in the tip of the delta there. join the other witnesses in underscoring the fact that for the most part, our system, as aged as it may be, did, indeed work. we want to thank the corp. of engineers for working with us as we installed some of the flood walls which had never been used quite frankly, and, again, quite up in age. in spite of working so well, the flood did impact our community. fortunately, the impact was not as severe as it could have been. st. jude children's hospital, located just a few blocks from the river was spared some massive flooding because the system did work. i might add, though, that the pump station that kept st. jude from out of the flood is 95 years old, and the key point i would like to leave is that while the system worked this time, it has aged so that we're not confident that in future floods of this magty nude that these -- mall -- magnitude that these structures can stand floods of this magnitude. i hope we take away from the hearings an estimate and timetable while we've the time

their conclusion was there was no significant human health impacts from the tennessee coal ash spill. companies across america use the byproduct are caught up in the uncertainties swirling around the issue of recycling material and may be forced to switch to more expensive alternatives. according to a report, repealing the section of the bill and allowing e.p.a. to designate coal ash as a hazardous material would cost the consumers as much as $110 billion and cost 316,000 jobs. let's be frank, the opponents of this bill and this rule clearly have an anti-coal agenda. even interagency reviews at e.p.a. to designate coal ash as a hazardous material, it is opposed by many who want the continued use of recycled fly ash and want to reject the possibility of it be treated as a hazardous material. it's not the time for those who don't like fossil fuels to push their agenda and ideology. these are real jobs at stake here. it's really that simple. therefore, anyone who opposes this rule and this legislation embraces the loss of 316,000 jobs and higher utility bills. with that i yield back the balance of my time. thank you
