. >> warner: you mean because theyan,s mr. cheney did, ep gong on this artificial heart pump until one is available? >> that's right. the artificial pumps have historically been used to allow us to bridge patients who need transplantation but are going to die before they receive transplants. because they work so well in that population, we've begun-- and because we've got better pumps now, we're actually using these pumps for permanent therapy for people who are not good candidates for transplant, who would rather not have a transplant. so it's really seen a change in what we can do for patients who basically have terminal disease. and now... yes. >> warner: i'm sorry. i didn't mean to interrupt you. if a patient and his doctor or her doctor decide he or she wants a transplant, then who gets to the top of the list? who gets picked and why? >> right. well, the timing of transplant really depends on several factors. first of all it depends on the severity of one's illness. it depends on their blood type and their body sizend wth

's time warner chairman and ceo jeffrey spoke tonight at the economic club of washington. >> lawrence lindsey led the economic council during the first two years of the george w. bush administration. at "the atlantic" mega-zine form on the economy today, he said neither democrats nor republicans have credible economic plans. he was interviewed by "the atlantic" editor-in-chief.

. >> warner: you said something about guaranteeing his own safety. do you mean ssafety from prosecution? >> (translated): yes, of course. now, we have a lot of evidence that vladimir putin and his team were personally involved in criminal acts and, of course, he should be prosecuted. in this regard, there is consensus in the opposition for the sake of peaceful transfer of power in the country vladimir putin personally and his family should get some kind of freedom guarantees. >> warner: do you think that he could institute reforms and also weed out corruption from within his system? >> (translated): unfortunately, this is impossible because corruption has become the core on which he built his political power. in his opinion, corruption is a very efficient way of management. for him, there is no problem in his ministers being billionaires. there is no problem in his government being so corrupt that everybody in the country knows about it. >> warner: now, if he takes the other course, he wins 60% of the vote and he decides to just clamp down and continue business as

warner's syndrome and that's how it came to be that particular disease in the book. i thought this works because she would have a life before the disease started to age her in the 20's as opposed to being very young. more i researched the more i realized that a large population of japanese people seemed to have this genetic defect. it brought me back to the japanese culture even though i was not looking for it. what happened was if she was half japanese. here again you will hear the writing process. as i'm thinking about this and thinking about story line and her parents. if her mother is italian and her father is japanese which would make her half and half the genetic defect would come to the father then things would have to happen if they grew up in california. he grew up in pasadena which means he would be inturned. things start to happen without you looking at it from the beginning when writing a story but as you develop the characters and the year and the situation and the stories a father would tell a daughter. all this came out the camps, what happened. what he hoped for. what he wished for. all the stories he tells the daughters. some of them would have to c

the clerk: calendar number 311, s. 1813, a bill to reauthorize federal aid highway and highway safety construction programs, and for other purposes. mr. warner: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from virginia is recognized. mr. warner: mr. president, i'd like to follow up on the comments of my friend, the senator from texas. on an issue that we will be voting on this afternoon i understand regarding the construction of the so-called keystone x.l. pipeline. mr. president, i've been somewhat frustrated by the debate around this issue and, unfortunately, i think we are going to be confronted again with kind of a bifurcated choice here that doesn't get to the possibility of us actually putting in place a comprehensive energy policy that will remove this nation's dependence upon foreign oil, start to look at the ability over the longer haul to bring down the price at the pump, and to make sure that we are truly a participant in the opportunities of a glowing, multifaceted energy policy going forward. mr. president, i support the construction of the keystone pipeline. i believe that we need to have an energy policy that has an all-
