not long after thoreau came to walden, the idea of the book walden started to occur to him and if you look at his journals from that training there are passages clipped from it that just were worked into some of the early drafts and the lectures that he gave on the subject. right in the beginning of walden the book he says that it was curiosity on the parts of his neighbors. they wanted to know if he was lonely, if he wanted wasn't too afraid out there and so on and so he started answering those questions at lyceum lectures and it kind of grew from there but of course it changed, it was not just a narrative of my experience but the book is sometimes life in the woods and so thoreau had the publisher get rid of that subtitle eventually. it really wasn't just a narrative of what it's like to live out in the woods as probably the more complicated book than that. it was walden the experience which was a few years but walden the book was a much longer project, it wasn't published until 1854. it went through seven different drafts so in the interim, thoreau took up new methodologies of obse

walden was more successful. in fact deals are always made with the publisher for a week which was the book that came to walden to write, which was if it didn't sell he would pay for the publication, so we ended up being responsible for the publication, but the book sold better than that. it only went through one edition during his lifetime, but it didn't sell much better than a week. one of the things he's careful to point out in the text of walden is that he doesn't really mean for anyone to imitate his experiment. he talks about it as an experiment. rather, i think he wanted his readers to first have the sort of response to the remarkable facts of man and nature, as the way he put it. if leaders take that away that was good enough for him. if they thought about the relationship between what they do >> our city towards seth -- staff travel to concorde to learn about its history. learn more about concorde and other stops on our tour, at c-span.org. you are watching american history tv, all weekend every weekend

it was walden the experience. it was just two years, but walden the book was not and went until 1854 through many different drafts. in the interim he took up a new methodology of observation around 1851, and 1852. he took up a new way it of observing the world and a lot of that is reflected in the final draft of walden. so it takes some exercise, intellectual exercise to pick apart those threads and figure out what it is he's up to while actually out here. thann was more successful is first book about the subject. in fact deals are always made with the publisher for a week which was the book that came to walden to write, which was if it didn't sell he would pay for the publication, so he ended up being responsible for the walden sold but better than that. it only went through one edition during his lifetime, but it did sell much better than a week. one of the things he's careful to point out in the text of walden is that he doesn't really mean for anyone to imitate his experiment. he talks about it as an experimen

for two years, writer henry david thoreau live on its shores inspiring his book walden. up next, concorde museum curator david wood describes thoreau's reasons for living at the pond and his experience there.

walden: mr. speaker, i have no more speakers on my side other than the minute i'll take to close so i'll verve, i think. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey has two minutes left. the gentleman from oregon has a minute and a half. the gentleman from new jersey is recognized. mr. pallone: thank you, mr. speaker. i'm proud of the fact that this bill is bipartisan, continuing the tradition of the dealing with these f.d.a. user fee and authorization bills on a bipartisan basis. we worked long and hard to get this accomplished in a timely fashion. in particular so the personnel at the f.d.a. are not threatened in any way. i'm very hopeful this will pass today, go over to the senate and also pass there quickly and be signed by the president soon. so with that i yield back the balance of my time and urge everyone to support the bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey yields back. the gentleman from oregon. mr. walden: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such tim

one of the things he's careful to point out in the text of walden is that he doesn't really mean for anyone to imitate his experiment. he talks about it as an experiment. rather, i think he wanted his readers to first have the sort of response to the remarkable facts of man and nature the way thorough put it. if leaders take that away that was good enough for him. if they thought about the relationship between what they do to to get living and what their life consisted of that i think he would have counted that as success. >> i'm standing in front of the concord free library were up next the curator will feature some of the special collections. >> the special collection started growing when the library was founded in 1873 and it was part of the vision of the founder of the library, william monroe, who set this place up specifically to collect local materials. he was very proud of the history of literature and he wanted to set up something that would both documents and do credit to the town because 73 was right around the time to resemble was beginning to take hold and people were com

walden: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and insert heir remarks and extraneous materials in the record on the bill. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. walden: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. walden: thank you, mr. speaker. rise today in support of h.r. f.d.a. re-authorization act. fdara of 2017. while it may not be headline news, for almost a year now, the energy and commerce committee has been working in bipartisan fashion on this critical legislation which will build on the landmark f.d.a. re-authorization act. fdara 21st century cures act. fdra will ensure that innovative and lower cost treatments as well as lifesaving medical technologies reach patients sooner. last month we reported this bill out of committee on a 54-0 vote. unanimously, mr. speaker. for starters fdra updates and re-authorizes four user fee programs at the f.d.a. though they sou

the more iconic surveys we have in the collection is a survey of walden pond and 1846. and if you read walden recently you know that in a chapter the pond and winter he writes about surveying the pond and he writes about the process of doing that. he writes what he found in concrete terms. he raises it to metaphorical terms so he does that thing of bringing together the real and the metaphorical in a way that really specific to his writing. more than any of the other concrete authors and you can see here he's marked his house, and against the cabin. we like to call it a hot or a cabin but he called it a house on the survey. you can see the depth found things, you can see that teacher that fascinated him, repulsed him and fascinated him at the same time, the railroad so if you're taking the pittsford line these days, you still get that window of opportunity to look out over the pond for a second before it moves on to the concorde patient. one of the same famous major literary manuscripts that we have here is the essay walking which initially appeared in the atlantic mont

walden for an opening statement. >> i thank the chairman. today marks a really important step forward in this committee's work to strengthen our health care safety net by examining the extension of two very important safety net programs. both the children's health insurance program, c.h.i.p., and the community health center program, have enjoyed strong bipartisan support for many years. under current law, congress needs to renew funding for these programs since the current funding streams will soon expire. we recognize that c.h.i.p. and community health centers play a significant role in the nation's safety net for millions of americans. for millions of american children and pregnant women who are generally low to moderate income, and millions of individuals who may be medically underserved or face other barriers to care. individuals and families served by these programs are not just program enrollees. they are our neighbors. they are our friends. in my district alone, there are 12 federally qualified health center organizations with 63 deli

walden, as well as the subcommittee chairman, the chairman, michael burgess from lewisville, texas, and i appreciate dr. burgess yielding me time on this bill that is mine that i have presented several years ago, mr. speaker, that we're finally getting a chance to support today. and i wish to express my full support for h.r. 1492, the medical controlled substances transportation act of 2017. this legislation represents commonsense reforms that will ensure regulatory clarity while recognizing the needs of doctors, patients and law enforcement alike. i hope members on both sides recognize the need for not only this legislation but will be in support. currently d.e.a. licensed medical practitioners are barred from transporting controlled substances from one practice setting to another. this is particularly strenuous on physicians who travel on their job. for example, team physicians at both the college and professional level have been particularly affected from the lack of clarity in the law. physicians who travel with teams to away games carefully practice transporting medicines, and they

walden previously. i am independent. the democrats can work with moderate republicans. you can see in the republican party the moderates are kind of against the tea party, the far righters and the trump administration is a real conundrum. i just feel a lot of the senators and representatives of congress and the house are vehemently opposed to trump. a lot of his policies are very strange. host: we are talking about immigration but i will ask chris, the you think there is room for bipartisanship on immigration policy? that has been a tough thing to achieve. for a long time -- achieve for a long time. guest: we did some polling in missouri. the senator there is one of the democrats up for reelection in 2018. it is a state that trump won in the election in 2016. the american people want to see changes to the legal immigration system, and also see some enforcement. you see broad support in most polls for some sort of these policy issues. i think the caller hit on a key point. when you connect these issues of century city's to president trump, you see lower levels of support

also want to thank representatives walden and pallone for helping us work on this bill. it's what we can accomplish when we put partisanship aside and work to address our country's needs. hydropower is a clean, domestic energy source. over the last two years it has provided almost 6% of u.s. eelect trissties and -- electricity and almost half of all renewable electricity. it supports hundreds of thousands of good jobs across the country. as a werner, i know how important water is to our environment and to our community and i'm committed to advancing hydropower in a way that both respects existing water rights and minimizes environmental disruption. hydropower is often associated with large scale projects like dams but i have been particularly interested in smaller projects attached to existing infrastructure, including irrigation canals and existing water supply. as mr. rush noted , in 2013, i worked with representative kany -- cathy mcmorris rodgers, another werner, to pass the hydropower efficiency act that bill became law and established a process for qualifying condu

walden, for five minutes, please. >> i thank the chairman. i want to thank our witnesses for your testimony. we appreciate what you do in our states and our communities and what -- those you represent here today do. mr. holmes, in your testimony you say many of your patients travel over 50 miles, often over secondary roads to access care in your health care and oftentimes you're the only provider in the communities you serve. in addition to isolation and distance, what other challenges exist we should know about in care unique to rural areas? i would preface it by saying my district would extend from the atlantic ocean to ohio, nearly bigger than every state east of the mississippi. i'm used to remote rural, extreme remote, whatever the furthest out remote no, ma' nomenclature, we got it in my district. can you speak to those issues and the reimbursement issues? >> delivery of care in a service area almost the size of new jersey is challenging. it is challenging because we're in small communities. two of our health centers sites are attached

that is the other side of american life, the spiritual side, the seeking --e, the walled in pond waldenonds, the oneida and other utopian experiments, the incredible welcoming ethic that we've had in this country. the expansive sense of who is an american. no other country on earth has been able to extend such an enveloping sense of citizenship to people from so many different backgrounds. and to make them into americans. and that is something that is the american dream, and my opinion, something that we can be justly proud of. of course, there is shallowness and businesses rise and fall, but the chance to go out and make something of yourself through your own effort, to build your family, your community, and to be free is still a great gift. host: paul glastris? guest: i can't disagree with a word she said. host: prudence is on the democrat line. caller: the government has made it more difficult for people to have, show say, spendable income, which would probably help them get ahead. they have done in in a very nice way, in a way maybe it is been -- beneficial. for example, when i went

walden. >> thank you, chairman for enlightening us with your comments in your testimony. chairman pai has taught with continued uncertainty around net neutrality. are you opposed to net neutrality? >> congressmen, i favor free and open internet as they think members of this committee and americans do. >> commissioner clyburn, are you opposed to net neutrality? i am not opposed to net neutrality. i'm in favor of using the strongest legal tools at our disposal. >> mr. o'reilly, you opposed in a totality? >> i support an open internet. it means so many different things these days than it once did so i can stand up for net neutrality to be treated identically in that to mean is not supported by the internet. i don't support that definition. >> i know you have to make some decisions based on the comments. i guess one of my questions is the reply comment are due fairly soon. chairman pai, do you expect to act quickly before the record closes in terms of timeline, not in terms of your decision. >> mr. chairman, we are going to move as promptly as we can. ranking member doyle poi

we're trying to do is get a full picture and as i say, we're trying to convince the chairman, greg walden of the full committee and also our respective subcommittee chairs to have a series of investigations and hearings, and we could use insulin pricing as an example, but it's not so clear exactly what you do at this point. i think gene would probably agree. >> yeah. insulin is a good example of it but when you see some of the market forces that happen and i think we can agree on a bipartisan basis that we need to make sure that we don't see that kind of jump in price just because someone can go buy the patent. again, that doesn't help the system. it just raises the price for the consumers. >> so as congress now appears to be moving towards a bipartisan fix of the affordable care act or at least some kind of bipartisan negotiation, what role does -- what role would you like to see pharmaceutical pricing play in some kind of next version of the aca? is that something you address in that kind of legislation? >> i would hope that's where we're going to go to. i know there's been a push in th
