, peace for all mankind, and justice for all mankind. we humbly ask all of this in the name of jesus christ. amen. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the house will stand >> so i thought out a whole lot of things but i think it was an important hearing and i was talking -- i was waiting for senator sessions. i yield to senator sessions. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and i appreciate the opportunity to discuss with you some of the details on the confirmation hearing for judge sotomayor, and maybe we can develop a good plan for that. attorney general holder, i'm glad you're here today to address the committee as we fulfill our oversight and responsibility for the department of justice. the department plays a critical role in protecting the rule of law and preserving national security and it must be free from political pressures and ideological success. i supported your nomination to be attorney general. i think i was a minority in my party that did so. but i did so because i believe that your previous experience with

of course, mankind stockpiles invented this and sophisticated those weapons sophisticated 60 years. this is a gigantic task. we hope the visit of president obama will be a huge step in the right direction. the prime minister, mr. putin, are most influential men in the nation confirms that local zero is the target for mankind and the russian federation. and we hope that it will be in achieved in terms of negotiations with the visit of president obama. there have been great secrets on warheads. negotiations will be a step in the right direction. we wish them well. we will work in this direction. we are very thankful for the joint efforts. thank you very much, ladies and gentleman. " thank you very much for joining us, igor, and we look forward to seeing you at our next meeting in moscow. take care. >> thank you. >> before i opened the floor to questions, we have a little audio-visual presentation to make for you. so to do that, be very brief, i would like to call on one guest of the global zero organization. >> ok. hello. i do not want to take too much of your time. as we have heard,

the holy koran teaches that whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind. [applause] andel holy koran also says, whoever saves a person, is as if he has saved all mankind. [applause] the enduring faith of over a billion people is so much bigger than the narrow hatred of the few. islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism, it is an important part of promoting peace. now, we also know that military power alone is not going to solve the problems in afghanistan and pakistan. that is why we plan to invest $1.5 billion each year over the next five years to partner with pakistani's to build schools and hospitals, roads and businesses and hundreds of millions to help those who have been displaced. that is why we are providing more than $2.8 billion to help afghans develop their economy and deliver services that people depend on. now, let me also address the issue of iraq. bun like afghanistan, iraq was a war of choice that provoked strong differences in my country and around the world. although i believe that the iraqi people are ultimately bet

the need for mankind to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to oppression and violence. mankind must evolve all human conflict, a method which rejects revenge, aggression, reand talluation. today we are not only supporting democracy in iran, we're also supporting the nonviolent thrust for democracy in iran. so the conflict mace be settled, mr. speaker, without resulting to weapons to violence and conflict, not only within that country but amongst nations system of today, mr. speaker, we rise today to support the proponents of the nonviolent movement. the speaker pro tempore: the time of the gentleman has expired. who seeks reck snigs in the gentlelady from florida. ms. ros-lehtinen: we have one additional speaker, i would like to call on the author of the resolution, a great member of the house foreign affairs committee and our conference chair on the republican side, mr. pence for the remainder of the time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for 4 1/4 minutes. mr. pence: i thank the gentlelady for yielding and reiterate my gratitude for her work in br

s and credentials in meteorology, says, no, global -- deciding that mankind's human actions are maersking more hurricanes is false and there's no evidence of that. well, and then what else do we hear? we hear name calling. i was on a television show recently where they called me a tragulite. maybe that's the word. that i'm anti-science and that i'm bigoted in some way. . i kept presenting evidence about global warming but all i got was name calling. case closed. and anybody who disagrees with us is a low-life who doesn't believe in science. can you imagine, moving forward on an honest discussion about man-made global warming and being discussed and then after discussing four, five issues on science, not having those arguments answered and instead having my religion questioned. dismissing, rather than answering legitimate challenges to the man-made global warming theory is par of the course. standard operating procedures. case closed. standard operating procedures. no questions. no grants for conceptics. these people have been trying their best to basically steamroll over anyone who would

i am asking you to respond to the book of the number one best-selling author in all of mankind, the bible. god is calling you to follow him and the question is, will you respond? [applause] incheon, chapter 1, verse 12, we read, as many as receive him, jesus christ to him he gave the right to become children of god even to those who believe in this thing. i am going to call the bands to come up and we are going to give you an opportunity to receive jesus christ. i'm going to rescue to come forward publicly. i have the opportunity to be in the billy graham crusade at syracuse university back in 1988 in billy graham said, i am going to call you fourth publicly. why am i going to ask you to come forward publicly? it is not easy. it is hard to stand before your friends and come forward. why am i asking you to do this? jesus died on the cross for you publicly. and jesus said in matthew, chapter 10-- this is billy graham talking and he knows. jesus said, therefore whoever confesses me before men, i will confess and before my father, who is in heaven by whoever denies me before men, i will also

past climate cycles were frequent, even before the emergence of mankind. cycles like the reright toing of polar ice caps that we were shown all the time to touch our hearts so we won't think but we'll feel, those solar ice caps and the retreat of the solar ice caps are very similar to the cycles on other planets, especially the planet mars, for example. suggesting that solar activity, rather than human activity, is the culprit. increasing levels of co-2 did not cause warming back in the 1940's, the 1950's and even the 1970's when there was large increases of co-2 yet we're told now that the co-2 was causing the world to get warmer but yet more co-2 has even been produced and for 10 years we haven't had a warming. now that manmade global warming has been driven into the public consciousness, the alarmists have the leverage right here in washington. i can talk all night long but no one's going to confront the science on this, as rotten as the science it -- is. so right here where there's a price to pay when the american people have been lied to in a big way.

at night with the great turtle expedition it will get like the birth of mankind. it was like biblical. i was trying to experience some of the wild life there wouldn't be manete in florida today if it wasn't for roosevelt. gerald ford is a very small book. this book was the book i was going to live and die by. i was putting everything i had as for my childhood experience at national parks to my knowledge of theodore roosevelt. many women have written great books recently on t.r. kathleen dalton. there's great literature out there. i've been going to t.r. conferences really since the 1980s. my hobby was less t.r. than the sites that he saved. when happened with the reagan diaries is i wasn't expecting it. about our rangers and d. day. peat wilson, the former governor of california. there was a stiplation. one with mrs. reagan that ended it up quickly. i had been working on rose velt. this is such an important thing to do. you were living in new orleans? >> yes. i was professor at tulane. i named my study center. the theodore roosevelt study center. >> at rice univer

coming untethered from her corporation purposeful effort to focus on building a better world for all mankind. i recall the first time i met angela merkel, eshoo is general secretary of the christian democratic union. we had lunch in berlin and we talked about german-american relations, nato, the transatlantic alliance and her concerns about a world that she sought as drifting in a very dangerous way. that included a german american draft, attention and building in our relations affecting each other's interests. after our first meeting with left mean a deep impression of this leader and head in many occasions to meet dr. miracle in both my senate office in washington and in germany. each time i met with her i was more impressed with her insights and an ability to move very quickly to the center of an issue. i also was struck by her decency and humanity. now this should not be surprising considering issue is raised and shaped under the yoke of communism as she grew up in east germany. she has lived there and witnessed the devaluation of the individual, the wanton disregard for human dignity. a

president and, confirmed global zero is the target for mankind and the russian situation. we are heartened by this statement and we hope what will be achieved in terms of negotiations, declaration of some kind. the secret of the warheads and weapons and missiles during this negotiation, will be a step in the right direction. we wish them very well, try to bring them arguments and we are very thankful for the efforts. thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. >> thank you for joining us, igor yurgens. we look forward to seeing you at our next commission meeting in moscow. >> 100%. >> take care. >> before i open the floor to questions, we have a little audio/visual presentation to make for you. to do tha to do thagha to do thalid to do tha gun to do than to do that, i would like to call on of the global organization. >> i won't take too much time today. we heard there is a growing group of leaders and experts around the world who believe zero is the only sustainable answer -- sorry. did we start it? the only sustainable answer for the growing threat of nuclear proliferation

the holy koran says "oh, mankind, we have made do, male and female, and to nations in tribes, that you may know one another." the talmud tells us that the whole of the korah is for promoting peace. the holy bible tells us "blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of god." the people of the world can live together in peace. we know that that is god's fate. now that must be our work here on earth. and may god peace be upon you. thank you.

the holy koran tells us that old mankind, we have created you, male and female. and we have made you into nations and tribes. that you may know one another. the talmud tells us the whole of the torah is for the purpose of promoting peace. the holy bible tells us, blessed are the peace makers for they shall be called sons of god. [applause] the people of the world can live together in peace. we know that is god's vision. now that must be our work here on earth. thank you. and may god's peace be upon you. thank you very much. thank you very much.

mankind must evolve all human conflict, a method which rejects retaliation. we are not only supporting democracy in iran, where also supporting the non-violent thrust for democracy in iran. so the complex may be settled without resorting to weapons, to violence, and to conflict. not only within the country, but amongst nations. today, mr. speaker, we rise to support non violence. >> thank you, mr. speaker. we have one additional speaker, and i would like to call upon the author of the resolution, a great member -- mr. pence for the remainder of the time. >> digital and is recognized for 4 and 1/4 minutes.

the holy kuran tells us mankind, we have created a new male and female and we have made you intimations and tribes so then you may know one another. thus be 12 tells -- the talmud tells the whole of the torah is for the purpose of promoting peace. the holy bible tells blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called songs of god. [applause] the people of the world can live together in peace. we know that is god's vision. now that must be our work here on earth. thank you. may god's peace be upon you. thank you very much. thank you. [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] [cheers and applause] >>> we spoke with the reporter that watched the president's speech from a cairo neighborhood. >> let's find out what some of the local reaction is, howard schneider is online, foreign correspondent for "the washington post" and i & mr. schneider is about 2 p.m. in cairo and you are at a coffeehouse in cairo, is that correct? >> that is right, we are in the neighborhood that is a very, you know, fun and festive downtown neighborhood and we've been sitting here at the coffee shop watch and pe

when it becomes obvious for everyone that economic development can only be sustainable if it respects mankind and nature at a time when the world discovers the limits of the logic based on the market, at a time when we understand we need to regulate our markets and globalization now more than ever the growth model for tomorrow will not be the model of the 30 years after world war ii. the digital revolution will radically transform the patterns of consumption and production, but nonetheless, they will be similar in nature. without fully realizing it, we have given too great a role to the financial markets and listened to much to those who were using debt themselves for undue speculation. in the new growth model that france hopes for, that france is striving to set up cannot we need to get a greater role to labor and entrepreneurs, inventors come back to those who create -- inventors, to those who create. our scientists and artists -- in terms of articulating private enterprise will once again become considerable assets. this is the reason to try to answer all of our difficult questions. why is

he writes in 1925 that mankind has ever been in this position before. without having improved appreciably in virtue or enjoying wiser guidance, he has got into his hands at last the means of his own destruction. this guy was terrified of war. he is the guy who confronts hitler. to understand why he did that is to understand what it is that you would sacrifice everything for, because better to suffer whatever modern war can do to you than to join in the policy of that man. so i started feeling that out when i was writing my thesis. it was started while i was over there. tom silver was the main one.

it felt like the birth of mankind. it was like biblical to watch these turtles. when i would go there i was not just looking at documents. i was trying to experience some of the wildlife edrik directly or indirectly that roosevelt said. the manatee, he would not in florida if roosevelt had not created as a refuge. but when did you do the gerald ford book? >> i did that for the arthur/centre jr sign me up for that series. that came out about that time. -- arthur schlesinger signed me up for that series. gerald ford is a small but. >> that theories, all of them were about 200 pages. >> yes. this book was for me, the book i would live and die by. i was putting everything i had from my childhood experience and national parks to my knowledge of their roosevelt. many women have written incredible books on him like dr. patricia o'toole and kathleen dalton. there's great literature out there. we have all got to know each other. i've been going to roosevelt conferences since the 1980's where i would speak with scholars and collecting as. my hobby was less roosevelt than t

psych ams -- mankind. cycles like the reteating ice caps are similar to those on mars. increasing co-2 levels did not cause the warming -- did not cause warming which can be shown in the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's and 1970's where there was an increasing level of co-2 but yet it was getting cooler. so let's have an honest debate. let's quit calling names, let's quit dismissing legitimate science-based questions. address the scientific issues being raised, rather than slogan earring about a consensus of ine civility scientists that does not exist. again, the so-called consensus, case closed, that consensus does not exist. more and more thousands of scientists are signing on as skeptics to this manmade global warming theory. this leads to an important point that needs to be made. perhaps the biggest lie the public must deal with is that all the prominent scientists in the world totally agree with the manmade global warming theory. that's probably the biggest lie as i'm mentioning. instead of answering scientific questions, alarmists have simply claimed all the scientists a

no nation in the history of mankind has bailed out, borrowed, and spent its way into prosperity, but that is what the democrats are trying to do and that is what they will enshrine in this new law that will essentially institutionalize the bailout nation and make the u.s. government a continuing occupation force in our economy. we need to let freedom ring, we need to let opportunity ring, and we need to unleash the spirit of entrepreneurialism, small business in america. with more spending, more taxes, that is why we need more of the republican plan, not the democrat plan. host: as we close, what will you asked secretary geithner? guest: again, what i do not understand, with the bailout creating this incredible amount of debt for the american people, which everybody says will harm our economy long term, how can they put forth a policy that institutionalizes us as a bailout nation? how can he favored the uaw over non unionized workers? how was that good economic policy? does he really think we can bailout, bar come and spend our way to prosperity? i hope not. host: thank you for enter

there was clashes of national interest before the nuclear weapons were introduced and no doubt until mankind changes there will be in the future. our only concern is that the added dimension of danger which nuclear weapons were introducing, people thought they were an asset to the pursuit of their national interest. we're now at a stage where it is such a grave danger to the whole world that we're trying to eliminate one aspect of international conflict or the means of enforcing your will in international conflicts. it is not our expectation that we can eliminate conflicts as such. >> thank you very much. [applause] >> i want to thank all our commissioners and have a quick announcement for any journalists who would like -- who have scheduled interviews to happen at this point. our commissioners are going to be going through this historic year in the chandelier room which is a big space where we have divided up four sections where sitdown tv or print interviews can take place. try to listen carefully to this because these are the four locations. one corner in the chandelier is corner a which

already, if the ice is melting on mars just as it is here, what's the science behind his claim that mankind is causing the climate cycle, if there is a climate cycle and what climate cycle it is, so let's have an answer to that. let's not call me names, which someone did, i remember reading this the internet, the polar bear is near extinction, which is clear from many other sources that the polar bear population is going up. but besides that, that's not the point. the point is if the polar bear is in whatever condition it's in is not due to the condition that humans are driving automobiles or we have to be controlled by the government in order to protect the polar bear from climate changes that our activities bring about. manmade global warming theory and my colleague from texas, if he would like to step in for a few words. mr. gohmert: i appreciate my friend from california yielding. with regard to the polar bears and natural resources committee, we have been hearing that by 20 years ago, we were up to under 12,000 polar bears in the whole world. and now we know there are over 25,000 polar

all his life -- he writes in 1925 that mankind has ever been in this position before. without having improved appreciably in virtue or enjoying wiser guidance, he has got into his hands at last the means of his own destruction. this guy was terrified of war. he is the guy who confronts hitler.

if not i suggest for mankind is sake you should write a book because everything has a another side and we need to know something. something i wanted to get very basic to both you and the audience uc climate change coming from a human behavior and industrial production do we have any data on those things? thank you. >> i am not sure i would be the person to write a book like this for i have not written a book and have no plans to do so prepare written a couple of chapters what i do is much more technical and those people are more gifted on both sides of the aisle that can translate to the general public they're much more gifted at that and i will let them do that and i will stick to the more scientific banks brother has been a lot of assessment changes of urbanization and industrialization and some are available the intergovernmental panel but the issue is how does that change the landscape how does that translate back into climate models. people are trying to work on that and forecast what human behavior will look like in the future which is nebulous at best there's a lot of data but h

the holy koran tells us oh, mankind, we have created you, male and female, and we have made you into nations and tribes that you may know one another. the talmud tells us that the whole of the torah is for the purpose of promoting peace. the holy bible tells us that blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of god.

exploration has always been critical to mankind. we live in america today because of exploration. we must continue to explore the new frontier for future generations. in closing, mr. speaker, i would remind my colleagues that so f we have discussed only a handful of the important programs that are funded by fiscal year 2010 commerce, justice, science appropriations acts. i urge my colleagues to vote in favor of the rule and the underlying bill, h.r. 2487. i urge a yes vote on the previous question and on the rule. i yield back the balance of my time and i move the previous question on the resolution. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on ordering the previous question. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. mr. diaz-balart: mr. speaker, request the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays e requested. those favoring a vote by the yeas and nays will rise. a sufficient number having arisen the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this question will be postponed. pu

they went john in the declaration of independence to the clear why then vision statement, for all of mankind, had been violated and why they were forming a new union. the constitution, again, the very preamble is a vision statement. i read it to you, once again, so you can see the importance of having it, being always able to refer to it if you have it. "we the people of the united states, in order to perform a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the united states of america." it is a vision statement. the first one is to have a vision statement. " all in a matter times has a vision statement they could clearly articulate? how about martin luther king? he had a dream or one day people would be judged by the content of their color, not the color of their skin. because he had a vision statement, he could articulate a parade because he could articulate, he could inspire others to follow. r

under five sheers the largest secondhand clothing sale and second heart book swap in the history of mankind, i think. but it raises a ton of money for the church. when that law passed within weeks they were called by their attorneys and told to cancel both those sales because of the potential effect and legal liability that was put on them as a secondhand seller of a product they neither manufactured nor took any responsibility for. so that does -- we need to look at the unintended consequence of that legislation. i know there's a stay right now and implementation, but i hope you will apply the same due diligence you did in south carolina to that particular subject and try to get it where the unattended consequences are not so onerous for people for whom it was never intended. >> thank you, senator. if i'm confirmed, i will work to resolve many of these issues that are coming back to you and other members of this committee. it is my understanding, and i've read the guidelines, that the cpsc has put on secondhand stores and has asked people in a secondhand stores how things are going. and ma

and throughout the history of mankind when a group declares war on another group and the group on which they declared war it humane enough to take prisoners then they are held until the group says they are no longer at war. here there are people in this country, in the administration who do not understand that these people still want to kill us. look at the pleading of khalid shaikh mohammed. his words, we are terrorists to the bone. you release those people, bring them in the united states. we already heard from one case that the supreme court majority is wanting to give them rights to which they are not or should not be entitled. and that's justice justice scalia said this opinion will cost american lives. that was a bold statement by scalia but he's right. we should not allow this to hurt american soldiers and american people and put innocent lives at risk even though it may get some applause overseas from people who would not mind seeing america disappear. and i want to touch very quickly on the photographs. we believe in america that guilty people should be punished and people who

so as of this mankind told me the bare bones of the story, i felt like this is something i had to find more out about, and he had actually come to see me to tell me about how smirnov's descendents, some of them were suing in court in different places in the world to try to get their trademarks and copyrights back. they had felt they had been taken wrongly from them after the revolution. and after communism fell, they were trying to get them back. so i wrote the story for businessweek. and was just really fascinated by it and continue to be fascinated and followed the story. but for a while didn't really do a whole lot with the. i moved out here. i became the silicon valley bureau chief. i was coming ebay and yahoo. there were other things happening in my life, but then i read a book that you probably are familiar with called seabiscuit. it's a great story about an underdog horse who comes from nothing and wins it all. and it's -- it's sort of a wonderful unexpected sort of surprised dorey, but what it also is, it's a great lesson in history. you learn about how jockeys live. you learn

views of thomas jefferson and ben franklin who called for us to give decent respect to the opinions of mankind. and most importantly, it is necessary and unavoidable that we be able to understand and manage the relationship between our law and other law." mr. president, those aren't the words of an ideologue. they aren't the words of a radical. it is the broad perspective of a deeply knowledgeable and pragmatic and committed advocate for our nation's interests. it reflects how we represent our interests. it reflects our real challenge, which is how we best use international law and institutions to advance national security interest and promote our core values. that is exactly what dean koh has spent his career working on and is one of the world's leading experts on international law. there is nobody better qualified to meet this challenge. yesterday my colleague from texas suggested that dean koh somehow created a moral equivalence between the united states and iran's brutal and deadly crackdown after the recent election. this is what our colleague said "koh appears to draw moral ekweuf plans

then they went on in the declaration of independence to declare why that vision statement for all of mankind had been violated and why they were forming a new union. and then the constitution, again the very preamble is a vision statement. i read it to you once again just so you can see the importance of having it and being always able to refer to it if we have it. we the people in the united states in order to form a more perfect union establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and to our posterity, do ordain and establish this constitution for the united states of america. it's a vision statement. so the first one is to have your vision statement. who else in modern times had a vision statement they could clearly articulate. how about martin luther king where he had a dream where people would be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. because he had a vision statement he could articulate it and because he could articulate it he could inspire ot

it felt like the birth of mankind. it was like biblical to watch these turtles interact. when i go there, i wasn't just looking at documents. i was trying to experience some of the wildlife that directly, or indirectly that roosevelt saved. there wouldn't be manhattanty if he didn't create the refuge. >> when did you the gerald ford book? >> i did it for a series that came out around that time. when you write a lot like i do, there are big books and small books. there is a book like that, gerald ford is a very small book mainly for the general reared. >> all that series was about 200 pages. >> yeah. this book was for me, the book i was going to live and die by, i was putting everything i had as from my childhood experience in national parks to my knowledge of theodore roosevelt . many women recently have written incredible books on t.r. like pa tricia o'toole and kathleen dalton. there is great literature out there and we have known each other. i have been going to t.r. conferences really since the 1980's where i visited and talked to scholars and collect things. because

emissions primarily but actually got a wonderful world of work, which has climate change independent of mankind. on the other hand, i don't think manmade initials nest -- emissions necessarily a good things if we have alternative technologies that are reasonably priced. i think there is a which create that. one thing that we need as we do that is to be realistic about what we are doing. if you read the popular press and you listen to the political pundits, they would suggest that somehow solar and wind are a substitute for foreign oil. nothing further than the truth. it simply substitutes for domestic fuels because it is for electric generation. it all needs to be backed up by natural gas been no let or gas that can substitute for natural gas as a backup. so we have to be very intelligent about how we use hydrocarbons, but we will have to use a lot more of the world will grow gdp. it has to grow gdp to get people out of poverty. tisza malaria and to have clean water is to have gdp growth in places like sub-saharan africa, and what we -- what they need to get that is energy and you will not get

leader in the middle east has responded to the hopes of mankind." mr. president, i have been to israel and i have shaken the hands of its citizens. i know there is a strong desire for peace and we can never lose sight of why peace is so important. after the unspeakable horrors of the holocaust, the jewish people would forever be mindful what turns history will take. every day we're mindful that anti-semitism has not gone away, whether in the form of a firebombing of a synagogue or a senseless murder here in washington, d.c. israel is the one place in the world -- the one place -- where anti-semitism can be impossible. it is a field of hope. an island of refuge that can stand firm no matter how stormy the sea. that's why we must always keep it safe and free. the united states is not simply allied with a govment it is aen -- it is an ally of israel's eye deisms it is eye deal of its can-do spirit and amazing resill yens and the face of threats from all sides. in that sense we're not just israel's allies, we are admirers, we're partners and we're friends.
