and i would've book on walt whitman who volunteered in the hospitals in washington d.c.during the civil war. both of them saw a good deal more of the war than mark twain who by his own at mission was not equipped with the thoughtful business. when the war began in 1861, twain was living in new orleans working as a riverboat pilot on the mississippi river. not wanting to be drafted in either the union or confederate navy, twain left his job in new orleans and went to see with his sister, camille, in st. louis. a few weeks later he went back to his hometown of hannibal, missouri, where he was sometime talked into joining a new group of confederate military guerrillas known as the american rangers. the rangers weren't exactly the crack outfit. they spent most of their time arguing about strategy, falling off their horses and constantly retreating from what they imagined where hordes of union soldiers. one preacher asked him to shut his own horse one night for not giving the proper password.

not only did they take the relay, but their performance gave them a one-point lead on whitman college, earning them the national title. individual recognition should go to pozenski who tied for first overall in the individual standings. for the cowgirls, gracie lewis tied for second, gwen barrow, sixth, and marie cartwright placed seventh overall. i would like to congratulate christy boggs and rachel watson who coached both teams to championship titles two year in a -- two years in a row. i congratulate the university of wyoming ski teams on their success. the cowboy state should be proud of these young men and women. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee rise? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. >> thank you, madam speaker. sunday, this was a historic sight when the health care bill passed this house and today in the east room of the white house, president obama signed it into law. the signing of that bill hopefully changed by the reconciliation bill will stand with medicare

and bernard whitman. now we see sort of the din on capitol hill turning to climate change.e time. the president has the went in his back. we can get bipartisan support on this and push this through. is he right? >> he's wrong. i think the democrats are on a suicide mission to take on global warming when americans are facing the biggest financial crisis since the great depression. there is no chance in hell that climate change is going to have any hope of passing before the november mid-terms. if they do it, they do it at their peril. i they they are on a suicide mission. megyn: how can kerry be turning to this when it was stalled in the senate for months. the senate hasn't shown any backbone to act on this. what makes him think now they will. >> i think he's out of his miends. what we need is jobs, jobs, jobs. perhaps we ought to get lady gaga to pen a song and send it to congress to get people focused on this issue. we need jobs. we have got to help out small businesses. and i think it is abundantly clear that the american people want, need deserve and expect movement on t

wristing todd whitman was on c-span this warning, and she was saying that climate change debate is hopelessness at this point the are you for legislation should be entirely about clean air and not about climate change. are you concerned that recent controversy about climate change science will hurt chances for legislation this year? and do you think the climate message needs to be downplayed in favor of clean air speed? well, as head of the environment protection agency, i'm not going to be in favor of not giving the best sites to the american people. the science is absolutely crystal clear. there is surely an organized effort to sow doubt in people's mind and there's some indication that it may be working on some level. but as head of the epa i believe i have to continue to stand here and make it crystal clear that the science isn't unsettled. that we do know that our missions of greenhouse gases are taking living in our atmosphere and interfering with the way the atmosphere is supposed to work. what it's doing is changing our climate, and it means catastrophic problems for us going forward. s

an earlier administrator christine todd whitman was about to declare a public health emergency in liby, montana, because the conditions were so dire. frankly, i read the e-mail traffic between her office, h.h.s., and the bush administration. the white house put the kibosh on that declaration. the e.p.a. was going to make that declaration. the administrator has now made that declaration. there is more asbestos connamings in libby, montana, than there is on a per capita basis in any other place in the country. it's appalling. people are dying from asbestos-related diseases, and mesothelioma, tre, tremolite, am of asbestos, is there. it is a small town. the company, w.r. grairks has left them high and drievment there is a criminal trial against the officers for potentially contaminating libby. frankly, that did not result in a successful criminal prosecution. but it is my judgment, having read lots of transcripts, it is clear here that not only is the declaration of a public health emergency valid here, but it is a company that should have been brought to justice and has not. in fact, the
