you become a welder. eventually, you become a brain surgeon, a neurosurgeon, using the same hands. tell me about these hands. >> do you know how in sports, baseball players hit home runs? football players, they throw and scored touchdowns. i get to do something very few people get to do. i get to touch the human brain. every day, i get to hit home runs, scored touchdowns. the greatest gratification i get from my work is that when i go to the waiting room and talk to the families of my patients, i get standing ovations and tears. they looked at me as a super hero. no amount of money or anything can ever compare to that feeling, to know that the same hands used to do things to put food on the table we eat today. i am just a regular guy. i embody the true american dream. i worked hard. i went to school. i am not a genius. i just worked really hard. i want our children to realize that they can fulfill the same dreams. tavis: what the make of the debate about the dream act? >> i live in california. what i make of it is the fact that we are trying. i think we are trying to implement smar

skills, but in addition to that, we let them know about the training if they want to be carpenters or welders, etc. that provides an opportunity to bring them into our project when they are not in school. also, i know that building trades and others will be commenting on this. i know they strongly support [inaudible] -- strongly support apprenticeship programs. in the history of tjpa, we require our contractors to have apprenticeship programs as part of their contract with us. what we can do is we could come back to, on a regular basis, and let you know as we report on all our things, let you know how it is going. >> this is one of my questions. i would like to see hard numbers, even if they are minimal, just so we know, and i know that building trades is committed to working with sfusc because i serve on the board of education, but i do think it is important to have numbers. on top of that, i think there should be a plan outlined, which schools we are doing outreach to, how many visits, what are some of our targets. some hard numbers within the pla i think would be helpful, and having actual

not just engineers but welders and technicians. they set up an apprentice program with the company got together with the local community college and set up a program where kids in high school would be learning on the job part-time after school and then would probably be hired by siemens for jobs that they were trained for. it sounds simple but that is a rarity. you don't get the kind of partnership that some other countries like germany have done better than the u.s. has. the need has become acute. caller: good morning. thank you for taking my call. it is interstate you mentioned the 1970's. i work with some committee organizing. the entire rust belt. took a hit. struggled for years. i was able to take care of my family and worked three jobs, had my own business. i worked full-time position to give my health-care insurance. i worked part-time as a teacher and i also have business as a multimedia developer. i worked until i was injured. i was able to get just before this down current. and now i feel thrown away. i have these skills

one thing you touched on is this project will create a lot of jobs for welders that would like to haveob. i believe our country can out compete in the country in the nation -- in the world. our country can now compete any country in the world, and i want to make sure i give our people a chance to work so that we can export product and make products and this country for our consumers, rather than importing it from china or somewhere else. that means creating a good business climate, and i know our people will do a great job. i have tremendous confidence in the people of this country. guestcaller: thank you. instead of having a pipeline under the ground, which probably has a chance of leaking at some point along the line in age from, is there any thought to given to him back to your right here in north dakota? guest: we do have a refinery right there near bismarck, and that refinery is being expanded now. i met with the ceo who, and we can continue to expand and grow refineries in the united states and create jobs, but we have to have the product coming in. and of course producing it in

you've got the pipe, the pipe industry is making pipe, the welders are welding the joints, the people that are surveying are surveying the project. the heavy machinery is digging the ditch, many individuals are cleaning the ditch with a hand shovel because it has to be a certain way or else you will have a pipe that will have an electrical charge on it. engineers are engineering. scientists are studying. it is being tested so you see what stress levels you are going to have. it creates jobs, not just a pipe, but all this hundreds and hundreds of industries that are tied to laying a pipeline. if you are drilling an oil well, same thing. those offshore drilling rigs, you know who got hurt bad on that, the people who feed those people and helicopter pilots that fly the food out there. i mean, these people, have shut down restaurants and closed down helicopter businesses. and we forget the little guys that are providing the services to the big exxon mobil or something platform out there. but in reality there are small businesses connected to any project like this. minimum number of jobs h

they have the welders and the people there. they are rolling.f we interrupt that, clearly we will pay a premium for when we attempt to reconstitute because we will not have that efficient process in place. right now, looking just at nuclear ships -- that is where you and i were, sir -- we have 90% of the sub vendors -- the people who make reactive components, turbans, and these sorts of kings -- they are our single source. that is their livelihood, nuclear technology. it we interrupt that, i do not know how many of those we lose or how we reconstitute it. folks have to eat. they will go somewhere else to work. we have design engineers with pretty unique skills to build nuclear carriers and submarines. we are in the early stages of designing our next ssbn. we need those folks. giving them a holiday is probably not going to work. when the british navy did something similar -- there were compelled to do it -- it took 10 years to build the next submarine. that is not very efficient. there will be layoffs, as we mentioned before. to preclude that we

he said right now i could hire a half dozen welders. i could hire them tomorrow. the work is out there for them to do. when we talk about getting this economy going again and getting things moving, it is critically important we not only talk about the four-year college that develops our entrepreneurs and business people, but also those community colleges, the technical colleges, the tribal colleges that do a great job developing a well-trained workforce. with that, i'll kick it over to senator landrieu. ms. landrieu: i'm so happy to join my colleagues who have done a beautiful job this morning just expressing the importance of pell grants to not only individuals and their families, but to the economic vitality of our nation. and i really want to thank you, senator whitehouse, the senator from rhode island, who's taken this up as a cause. and we need a champion for pell grants. and i'm here to help him and to help senator tester, that stepped up to be a leader as well, to say to them that when i go back to my state and check, and the senator from connecticut knows
