host: when you had the opportunity to converse with either officials or the citizenry, what is the anticipation of a speech like this can or cannot achieve? guest: people will be watching the next step. the like the rhetoric and the idea, the sort of do over nature of this. egyptians and arabs generally like the idea of america and americans, but the relationship has been very sour. i like the idea of resetting the whole thing and obama has come here and because of who he is a, his background, race, he got a lot of leeway coming in the door to do that reset. there will be watching the follow-through very closely. host: have you decided what really will be on the piece that you write about this? guest: he came to downtown cairo instead of going down to sharmal shake which is a resort down the coast, which is so easy to secure. it is a 5-store hotel, the sinai of the riviera. it is very removed from daily life. but he came here, went to a mosque, broke through the town, and arrived at the university and jumped out to people -- it's but the people that he wants to see who they are and what they ar

if we can't help our citizenry in this, what are we doing here? second, it's a tool to prevent illegitimate workers from working in secure areas. airport runways, military bases, federal buildings, train yards, and so forth. continued opposition to this creates a security vulnerability we simply can't afford. we have record level unemployment in this country and we have americans who want to work and yet we continue to drag our feet and delay both an economic tool and a homeland security tool. so let's get past the rhetoric. let's add sufficient funds to ensure even greaterer accuracy, capacity, and oversight to prevent the risk of identity theft. $50 million is just 1/3 of the raise the departmental headquarters gives itself under this bill. so let's give americans at least a fighting chance at a job and ensure that our government and u.s. businesses are employing legitimate american workers. i yield to my colleague from california, mr. calvert. mr. calvert: madam speaker, as the original author of e-verify i'd like to report tonight we have over

. >> and when you have had the opportunity to converse with people, either officials or the citizenry. what is the anticipation of what a speech like this can or cannot achieve? >> people will be watching next step. they like the rhetoric and idea and the do-over nature of this. i lived here for six year, and arabs like the idea of america and americans. but the relationship has been very soured. so they like this idea of resetting the whole thing. and obama has come here and because of who he is and background and race, he got a leeway to do that reset. they will be watching the follow-through. >> have you decided your lead on this? >> i think my lead is this, he came down to downtown cairo, instead of a resort down from here, and very easy to secure and very easy to remove. they are five-star hotels, the riveria. and the fact he came here and went to a mosque and went through the town and came to cairo university, jumped out to the people, that he wanted to see who they are. >> later on he's travel to the presidential palace, what is anticipated with that? >> he did that first, and

worked a lot on the telecom subcommittee and know that's something that will help enpower so many of our citizenry. if they have acsession it cuts down on other incidentles. sand going back to green jobs, cutting our dependency on foreign oil. making sure we can retool and retrain workers. and hopefully those jobs will stay in america and be a sustaining crotch of new jobs that will help -- crop of new jobs to help people say in the middle class. >> on behalf of the los angeles times and steve of the cleveland plain dealer thanks for joining us on "newsmakers". >> thank you. >> as we continue the kferings, let me follow conversation, let me follow up to your question on california. what are you sensing and what role does labor have in >> the administration is really retsents. that's what wear hearing. they're really retiscent. they think it's going to up up a pan dora's box. we saw what happened with bailout money to the private sector and they are just not interested in deling into that area. there's 50 states out there, most of them have budget troubles. not all as bad as california. but they re

if we don't have the citizenry that makes up its own mind, we're gone, and this title of this book, one-party classroom, is just a foreshadowing of the one-party state that we will have in this country, if the educational system continues to be subordned by these radicals. because they are very political, academic leftists, the leftists are political. if you're a scholar, you really don't want to be bothered with departmental meetings and committees and so forth, so you will find that the president of the faculty senate, the lead leaders of the faculty senate are usually leftist. the aaup, the american association of university professors, is a far left organization, the american federation of teachers is a thuggish far left organization, the american historical association, menses logical organization. the people running it ar all going to be political leftists and another reason is of course, if you get in the way of a political leftist, they will call you a racist or a sexist or a homophobe and in the academic world, that can be career damaging, shall we say. example, larry summers,est mos

a releasing dangerous crms back onto our streets is not fair to our citizenry and the families of individuals who have legally immigrated to america. that said, the castle-dent amendment requires quarterly reports, reports every the -- 90 days, to the congress of the homeland of security, that delay repay theation, including -- repay the ration. furthermore, the secretary of homeland security will have the power to facilitate the process by denying the entrance to the u.s. of those holding diplomatic visas of the offending country. the administration can exercise discretion regarding diplomatic flexibility with an affected nation if necessary. under current statute, the immigration nationality act that provides that the u.s. state department the authority to discontinue the granting of immigrant or nonimmigrant visas to nationals from foreign countries that unreasonabley delay or deny accepting an alien who is a citizen subject, national or resident of that country. although state has threatened to deny visas in this capacity, it has never enforced this authority. additionally, the congressio

tobacco and the harm and department of justice it does to our -- and the harm and damage it does to our citizenry, it is the only disease that's self-inflicted. there are more deaths each year as a result of smoking and tobacco products than alcohol, drugs, suicide, aids combined, automobile accidents. it's the greatest killer in america. and we have a dhans to make a difference on it. the day will come for reimportation. we ought to get to it. but if you do it on this bill, understand you lose both -- reimportation and the smoking bill. that's the danger. i thank the majority leader. i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator from delaware. mr. kaufman: i ask unanimous consent the call of the quorum be dispensed. .the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. kaufman: madam president, i would like to ton where i began by honoring the contribution of our federal employees. on may 4 i came to the floor to discuss the importance of recognizing the hard work and de

is agricultural output is also been very difficult, in adequate to meet the needs of its own citizenry and number three has depended heavily on international contributions of foodstuffs to feed its own people. now, as you are aware, north korea about two months ago asked our humanitarian agencies, and organizations who were there to provide and deliver the food that the u.s. had agreed to and make available more asked to leave by the north american authorities so that food, that quantity of food is no longer being provided. we are concerned on humanitarian grounds about the condition of the north korean population. it is not good. now the country is covered by such secrecy that one doesn't know exactly what the condition of all the population might be, but it is clear that diet is inadequate in terms of caloric intake and if they have a harvest that, for example, is not as good as a should be or as they hope it would be then the conditions deteriorated even further so we and our partners and other countries in the u.n. security council are very conscious of the need not to further puni

state regulators know the geography and citizenry better than any federal agency can. our processes are transparent and give all parties a voice. what some may consider roadblocks and impediments we consider process. let me tell you more of what we're doing in vermont. it has a planning process that analyzes potential transmission constraints over a 20-year horizon and considers various alternatives including targeted energy efficiency programs that would address any identified, reliable issues. the process ensures that solutions to transmission constraints 11 the long-term needs of consumers at the lowest cost. after decades, without major investment, the public service board has approved three major transmission projects from 2005 to 2008 with total projected capital over half a billion dollars. at the regional level, these without any transmission investme investment, more than 4 million has been placed in service and new england since 2002. despite the activity on the say the and regional level, they will provide broader transmission authority even though we're fou

thomas jefferson once said that an educated citizenry will ensure a free society. he was right then. he's right, right now. unhin derd access to information of our government and leaders is critical to health of our democracy. that's why i'm pleased to hear that more than a million visitors travel to the national archives each year to see thousands of documents, including records and special exhibits. the national archives is one of most popular agencies in the united states government which is probably a surprise. it is not just a tourist attraction. it has become an international leader in developing an electronic records archiving system that will preserve digital information in any format not just for a few years, but forever. information technology is altered forever our ability to create access and search information from any location in the world. every year, billions -- not millions -- billions of documents that shape and reform government decisions are never written with pen and paper but the records are born digital. that means they are created electronic

that same day kosciuszko gave four speeches to the army, the citizenry, the clergy and to the women of poland and kosciuszko walked in on the old synagogue and he spoke with the rabbi and told his congress they needed his support for the revolution. this is the plaque with the visit of the rabbi and the jews and at first the jews didn't know what to make of the proposition because while individual jews had fought in separate armies in different countries, they had never had their own army. but after a while, they saw that they could trust kosciuszko and in some areas of poland as much as 20% of the army was jewish. in addition to the regular army, kosciuszko decided that since the peasants won't  given guns, they're going to take their knives with wheat and they bent the blade forward and considered that would be their weapons. only with these blades with axes did these peasants go into battle and so april 4th, 1794, the russians attacked them and the serfs charged nothing with these and here's a serf who took his hat and extinguished the fuse on the canon. and the other serfs did the

and that same day, kosciuszko gave four speeches, to the army, the citizenry, the clergy and to the women of poland. and then, kosciuszko walked into the old synagogue, and he spoke with the rabbi and toll his congregation that he needed their support, in the revolution. this is the plaque inside the synagogue which commemorates kosciuszko's visit with the rabbi and with the jews, and at first the jews didn't know what to make of kosciuszko's proposition, because while individual jews had fought in separated armies, and different countries, they had never had their own army. but after a while, they saw that they could trust kosciuszko and in some areas of poland as much as 20% of the army was jewish. in addition to the regular army, kosciuszko decided since the peasants will not be given guns they will take their size with those -- with the -- they bent the blades forward and decided that would be their weapon. so, these only with these blades, and with axes did these peasants go into battled: -- >> battle:

the citizens ought to be holding the government accountable rather than the government holding the citizenry accountable. and we find our selves in a fix today -- ourselves in a fix today where we're off the mark in washington about what people are concerned about we have $11.6 trillion worth of debt. a child born today comes into the world owing $400,000 for things they're never going to get a benefit from but their parents got in terms of their medicare, social security and health care. and the enly way to really solve the pron and think long-term to help our children and our grandchildren is to fix health care where we disoabt charge more money to our -- don't charge more money to our kids. we need to be reversion out the $38 trillion of medicare that we're stealing from our kids for our health care today. i ask grandparents all the time, do you really want your health care stealing the education of your grandchildren? we're going to get down to those choices. people don't want to vocalize those right now but real choice is as we take future benefits away from our kids, they're real benef

you either have the guts to ask the citizenry to pay for it or choose other things you don't want to spend it on. we have seen pay-go rules in place before. in the 1990's when the government ran surpluses and when we saw unrivaled prosperity. so we need to look back at that, have the discipline to pass that legislation so that we restore confidence in our economy. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from hawaii rise ms. hirono: to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. hirono: mr. speaker, it's time to stop playing politics and solve the health care crisis. americans deserve a choice in quality health care that is affordable. health care reform will make sure that we have the option to keep the health care insurance we have if we like it. or to choose a quality public health care option. health care reform will stop the insurance companies from denying coverage for pre-existing conditions. you will also no longer be denied care because of your age. health care reform will make sure

delay or avoid meeting the obligation of the issues and concerns about tobacco and their effect on our citizenry. i thank the majority leader for his efforts. be here next week to be prepared to debate those amendments and hopefully our colleagues will invoke cloture to get this matter addressed. mr. reid: while the distinguished senator is on the floor, senator enzi has been a real partner in what we've done here. he asked that we do a committee hearing on this bill. we could have brought it to the floor, this bill has had lots of hearings in the past. but because mike enzi is such a gentleman, and he thought it would be the right thing to do, we went ahead in spite of the very difficult schedule that we have, and the schedule that especially senator dodd had, that all of the things that we were doing under the jurisdiction of the banking committee, senator kennedy was the one obligated to do this legislation, so we have done that. we jumped -- see wee have jumped through all of the hoops. i hope that no one will in voting cloture say that we have been unfair. it would be unfair to say that we
