| 05:02:49 |
|
WHEN YOU HAVE DONORS TO THE OTHER PARTY WHO ARE STANDING UP AND SAYING THIS IS A WEALTH KILLER, THAT'S... |
| 05:06:16 |
|
THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE MANY, MANY PROMISES TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AS BROKEN PROMISE AFTER PROMISE... |
| 05:13:23 |

| 06:26:23 |
|
A FEW WEEKS AGO, MADAM SPEAKER, I CAME TO THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE AND GAVE A VERY SPIRITED DEFENSE... |
| 06:27:33 |
|
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE GENTLEWOMAN, BECAUSE TOURISM, THE FLOW OF PEOPLE, THE FLOW OF GOODS THAT... |
| 06:31:08 |
|
I KNEW AS A REPRESENTATIVE FROM SOUTH FLORIDA YOUR ECONOMY HAS BEEN HIT THE SAME WAY LAS VEGAS HAS.... |
| 06:31:42 |
|
IF THE LADY WOULD YIELD I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY SFOND. THANK YOU FOR YIELDING TO ME. THE ANSWER... |
| 06:32:05 |
|
SECOND BEST IN THE UNITED STATES. |
| 06:32:08 |
|
MAYBE SECOND LARGEST NUMBER OF POE TELL ROOMS. GREAT CHOICES ALL THE WAY AROUND. YES, FLORIDA HAS... |
| 06:32:24 |
|
WHAT DOES THAT DO TO THE JOB MARKET IN SOUTH FLORIDA? |
| 06:32:31 |
|
WHAT IT DOES IF IN FACT A HOTEL HAS LESS NUMBER OF ROOM NIGHTS, ROOM NIGHTS IS THE NUMBER OF ROOMS... |
| 06:32:52 |
|
-- |
| 06:32:55 |
|
-- |
| 06:32:58 |
|
TAXICAB DRIVERS. |
| 06:33:01 |
|
IT HAS HAD AN IMPACT. I THINK OUR BUSINESSES ARE DOING WHAT A LOT ARE DOING RIGHT NOW. THEY ARE CLAMPING... |
| 06:33:23 |
|
THEY ARE ALSO BUILDING IN LAS VEGAS. |
| 06:33:26 |
|
THEY PUT $1 BILLION IN THAT PROPERTY. WE HAVE LARGE HOTELS. BOUTIQUE HOTELS. AGAIN PEOPLE LOVE TO... |
| 06:33:37 |
|
YOU CAN GET A GOOD DEAL RIGHT NOW. |
| 06:33:41 |
|
A VERY GOOD DEAL. THIS ECONOMIC DOWNTURN HAS MADE A LOT MORE ROOMS AVAILABLE. IT DOES HAVE A BROAD... |
| 06:34:41 |
|
IF THE GENTLEMAN WOULD YIELD. |
| 06:34:43 |
|
WE HAVE BEEN JOINED BY CONGRESSMAN SAM FARR FROM CALIFORNIA WHO HAPPENS TO CHAIR THE TOURISM CAUCUS... |
| 06:34:50 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR INVITING ME. I ENJOY BEING A PART OF THIS TAG TEAM THAT IS TRYING TO GIVE... |
| 06:35:51 |
|
DID YOU SAY 7.5 MILLION? |
| 06:35:54 |
|
JUST DOMESTIC TRAVEL. IF YOU GET IT DOWN TO BUSINESS TRAVEL WE ARE TALKING ABOUT TONIGHT, IT'S 2.4... |
| 06:36:31 |
|
MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO A PHYSICIANS ASSOCIATION MEETING IN MONTEREY AND IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL... |
| 06:36:41 |
|
THOSE ASSOCIATION, THE SMALL ONES LIKE YOUR HUSBAND IS INVOLVED IN HAVE BEEN CANSLING. WHAT'S ALSO... |
| 06:37:49 |
|
I THINK IF I'M HEARING YOU CORRECTLY YOU ARE SAYING THAT BUSINESS TRAVEL IS VERY MUCH A PART OF THE... |
| 06:38:06 |
|
TRAVEL AND TOURISM IS THE LARGEST BUSINESS IN THE WORLD AND IT'S EXPANDING THAN ANY OTHER BUSINESS.... |
| 06:39:25 |
|
AIM SURE FLORIDA IS RIGHT BEHIND US. |
| 06:39:27 |
|
PEOPLE WERE TELLING ME IF YOU WANT TO TRAVEL NOW AND GO BY AIR ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES, SAY... |
| 06:39:44 |
|
WE ARE PRACTICALLY GIVING AWAY ROOMS TO ATTRACT PEOPLE TO OUR COMMUNITY. I DON'T THINK THE THREE OF... |
| 06:39:59 |
|
ABSOLUTELY NOT. |
| 06:40:03 |
|
I WOULD SUPPORT YOUR IDEA. I THINK THE BRANDING OF THE UNITED STATES AS PLACE FOR TRAVEL AND TOURISM... |
| 06:40:45 |
|
WHAT'S INTERESTING ABOUT THIS IS THAT TRAVEL IS REALLY EDUCATIONAL. THIS CITY I THINK IS A MUST FOR... |
| 06:43:04 |
|
LAS VEGAS CAN ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE FROM THE BAPTISTS BECAUSE THERE ARE BAPTIST CONVENTION IN LAS VEGAS.... |
| 06:44:33 |
|
I THINK WE ARE ALL IN, WE ARE IN THE MEDIA, WE HAVE TO GET ELECTED IN THE MEDIA. WE HAVE TO GO OUT... |
| 06:45:29 |
|
LET'S TALK THE POSITIVE. WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE BIT OF THE RISKS. BUT WE'RE ALL SAYING... |
| 06:47:06 |
|
IN JANUARY AND FEBRUARY, THE BUSINESS TRAVEL WAS SO FAR DOWN THAT WE LOST $1 BILLION. $1 BILLION... |
| 06:47:35 |
|
I WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT TWO POINTS AND IT DOVETAILS ON WHAT BOTH OF YOU WERE SAYING. I KNOW YOU... |
| 06:49:26 |
|
I HAVE A BILL THAT IS INTRODUCED BY THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM HAWAII, AND SINCE IT IS IN HAWAII'S BEST... |
| 06:49:55 |
|
HEAVENS KNOW WE TRIED AND I AM A MEMBER OF THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE, BECAUSE I CAN'T THINK ANYTHING... |
| 06:50:24 |
|
WHAT I LIKE FOR BOTH OF YOU TO UNDERSTAND AND I THINK THIS IS THE DIFFICULTY THAT THE INDUSTRY HAS... |
| 06:53:33 |
|
EVERY TIME I SEE CONGRESSWOMAN BERKLEY, THERE'S NOT ENOUGH INFECTIOUS ENERGY THERE OF HER PASSION... |
| 06:53:51 |
|
I TAKE THIS VERY SERIOUSLY. |
| 06:53:55 |
|
YOU KNOW, THE ISSUE WITH TOURISM IS WHAT YOU SAID, IT'S ECHO AND ENVIRONMENTAL AND OHIO HAS THE ROCK... |
| 06:54:48 |
|
THE WEST COAST. |
| 06:54:50 |
|
CONGRESSMAN, I THINK -- I WOULD GO SO FAR TO SAY IT WOULD BE PATRIOTIC TO BE TRAVELING. |
| 06:54:59 |
|
PATRIOTIC FOR AMERICANS TO SEE AMERICA AND 'S A WONDERFUL WAY OF SHOWING WHAT AMERICA IS LIKE TO PEOPLE... |
| 06:55:28 |
|
I BELIEVE THE CONGRESSWOMAN FROM OHIO IS MOVED TO JOIN US IN CONVERSATION. |
| 06:55:36 |
|
I ABSOLUTELY AM MOVED BY THE CONVERSATION AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PUZZLES ME AS WE GO THROUGH THIS... |
| 06:56:42 |
|
I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND WE HAVE BEEN JOINED BY ONE OF OUR NEWEST AND FINEST CONGRESSMEN FROM THE... |
| 06:57:00 |
|
TAKING VACATIONS IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR HEALTH. IN TIMES OF ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY, IT MAY SEEM HARSH... |
| 06:58:13 |
|
WHEN PEOPLE COME TO LAS VEGAS, WE DON'T WANT THEM SLEEPING. |
| 06:58:18 |
|
IT'S AFTERWARDS. A STUDY WAS CONDUCT TODD MEASURE THE BENEFITS OF TAKING VACATIONS AND AFTER A FEW... |
| 06:59:19 |
|
I HAVE BEEN TO YOUR FAIR CITY AND WHEN MY KIDS WERE YOUNGER, WE HAD WONDERFUL FAMILY VACATIONS IN... |
| 06:59:47 |
|
THANK YOU, TOO. I WAS IN LAS VEGAS LAST YEAR. |
| 06:59:51 |
|
I HOPE YOU LEFT A LITTLE MONEY ON THE TABLE. |
| 06:59:54 |
|
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE WHEN WE WANTED TO IN CONGRESS -- THE ONE SPOUSE, THE FATHER OR MOTHER... |
| 07:01:24 |
|
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS FEELING. IT'S BECOME CLEAR TO ME THAT TRAVELING, HOW... |
| 07:01:43 |
|
I THINK THIS LAST STATEMENT ABOUT HOW IT'S GOOD FOR OUR MENTAL HEALTH IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE. |
| 07:01:49 |
|
WE COULD USE SOME GOOD MENTAL HEALTH IN CONGRESS FOR SURE. |
| 07:01:52 |
|
AND THE NATION. I THINK WE NEED TO BE PROUD OF WHO WE ARE. GOING TO A BALL GAME IS A TOURIST EXPERIENCE.... |
| 07:01:59 |
|
IT'S A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE. COULD I -- I'D LIKE TO -- |
| 07:02:03 |
|
IF YOU WENT TO THAT BALL GAME OUT OF TOWN YOU WOULD BE A TOURIST. IF YOU GO IN YOUR HOMETOWN IT'S ... |
| 07:02:22 |
|
IT'S AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE. THE BALL GAMES, SHARING THEM WITH YOUR KIDSWORKS YOUR SPOUSE. WHAT... |
| 07:04:38 |
|
YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY A MOVING STORY AND I JUST -- GOD BLESS YOUR DAD. WHAT A WONDERFUL PERSON HE... |
| 07:05:44 |
|
CONGRESSMAN, WE ARE JOINED BY THE OTHER CONGRESSWOMAN FROM LAS VEGAS. |
| 07:05:50 |
|
LOOK AT THE DYNAMIC DUO HERE. |
| 07:05:54 |
|
CONGRESSWOMAN |
| 07:05:56 |
|
FRESH CONGRESSWOMAN TO THIS -- IT'S EXCITING TO HAVE YOU SO INTERESTED IN TRAVEL AND TOURISM. OBVIOUSLY... |
| 07:06:28 |
|
IT'S THE BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. AS WE KEEP SAYING, NOT ONLY CAN YOU HAVE SOME... |
| 07:06:56 |
|
SMALLER BUSINESSES, YOU CAN COME TO MONTH RAY. |
| 07:07:00 |
|
OH, THE AQUESTIONNAIRE COME -- A QUESTIONNAIRE -- AQUARIUM. GREAT PLACES TO VISIT. MY IN-LAWS LIVE... |
| 07:07:14 |
|
WELCOME TO THIS DISCUSSION. |
| 07:07:16 |
|
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR LETTING ME JOIN YOU AND THANK YOU, CONGRESSWOMAN BERKLEY, FOR ORGANIZING THIS... |
| 07:09:58 |
|
CONGRESSWOMAN, YOU KNOW, YOU AND I HAVE LIVED IN LAS VEGAS FOR AN AWFULLY LONG TIME AND HAVE BEEN... |
| 07:11:01 |
|
YOU'RE SO RIGHT. IF YOU LOOK AT OUR POPULATION, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT SWEDISH, WE'RE VERY AMERICAN.... |
| 07:12:41 |
|
I THINK THAT'S A GREAT IDEA AND, YOU KNOW, WE ARE A SOUTHWEST TOWN WITH A BIT OF A KICK. AND WE LOVE... |
| 07:13:52 |
|
YOU CAN USE YOUR TAX REFUND TO DO TRAVEL. |
| 07:13:55 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. |
| 07:13:56 |
|
IF YOU GET ONE. |
| 07:13:57 |
|
95% OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL BE GETTING A TAX CUT. |
| 07:14:01 |
|
I WANT TO BUILD ON YOUR COMMENT ABOUT HOMELAND SECURITY BECAUSE AS CHAIR OF THE -- CO-CHAIR OF THE... |
| 07:14:17 |
|
WE'RE AT 140,000 NOW. |
| 07:14:21 |
|
140,000? YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, THAT MEANS THAT THEORETICALLY, 140,000 PEOPLE COULD CHECK IN AND CHECK... |
| 07:17:08 |
|
I THINK DINA KNOWS THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS ANNOUNCED HE IS COMING TO LAS VEGAS IN THE SPRING AND... |
| 07:17:39 |
|
I THINK TRAVEL ENRICHES A PERSON'S LIFE. WHEN I WAS GROWING UP, MY FATHER WOULD PUT MY SISTER AND... |
| 07:18:41 |
|
WHAT I HAVE ALSO NOTICED IS THAT PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN WHAT WE CALL WATCHABLE WILDLIFE. WHEN YOU... |
| 07:20:30 |
|
THAT IS SO ELOQUENTLY PUT. AND I WANT TO REMIND PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THE BUSINESS TRAVELER, IT IS A... |
| 07:21:04 |
|
I WOULD MENTION, TOO, IT'S ALONG THESE SAME LINES THAT LAS VEGAS PLAYS A BIG PART IN OTHER THINGS... |
| 07:22:07 |
|
I THINK WE HAVE SPOKEN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND HAD A SPIRITED DISCUSSION AND A VERY ENLIGHTENING AND... |
| 07:23:14 |
|
EXPLORE MORE. |
| 07:23:16 |
|
THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING THIS HOUR WITH ME. YOU HAVE MADE IT -- I'VE LEARNED THINGS FROM EVERYBODY... |
| 07:23:34 |
|
VIVA, LAS VEGAS. UNDER THE SPEAKER'S ANNOUNCED POLICY OF JANUARY 6, 2009, THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES THE... |
| 07:23:45 |
|
I THANK YOU FOR THE RECOGNITION AND I THANK THE MINORITY LEADER FOR GRANTING US THIS HOUR. I'M GOING... |
| 07:33:44 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEMAN FROM OHIO FOR YIELDING. OUR SENIOR MEMBER, NEXT TO OUR LEADER, OUR SENIOR MEMBER... |
| 07:40:34 |
|
I WANT TO -- |
| 07:40:38 |
|
I WANT TO THANK THE GENTLEMAN FROM OHIO. IT WAS SUCH A LOUSY PIECE OF LEGISLATION. IF WE TAKE THE... |
| 07:44:48 |
|
I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU. PEOPLE ARE DYING TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND WHEN. WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.... |
| 07:46:44 |
|
I HAVE NOT SEEN THAT NEWS REPORT. AND IF THAT'S TRUE, THAT'S KIND OF SHOCKING. 11 PEOPLE OF THE 73... |
| 07:47:06 |
|
WE ARE GETTING MORE QUESTIONS ON ON THE TABLE MORE THAN ANSWERS. THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BACK-ROOM... |
| 07:48:49 |
|
TAKING BACK MY TIME, I WILL TELL YOU THAT THERE ARE TELEPHONES, BUT THE GENTLEMAN IS MAKING OUR TASK... |
| 07:49:26 |
|
AS WE CONTINUE FORWARD, HAVING A SPECIAL INVESTIGATION AND AN INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT TRYING TO GET... |
| 07:49:56 |
|
I HOPE WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATION. I WOULD HOPE THAT WHOEVER SCREWED UP WOULD COME FORWARD... |
| 07:51:07 |
|
YOU ARE BEING FAR TOO MODEST, BECAUSE THE RESOLUTION DOES MUCH MORE THAN THAT. IN FACT, IN READING... |
| 07:51:26 |
|
EXACTLY RIGHT. THE RESOLUTION NOT ONLY ASKS FOR DOCUMENTS, BUT IT INDICATES THAT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC... |
| 07:52:12 |
|
I KNOW YOU ARE PUSHING THAT LEGISLATION AND YOU HAVE MANY CO-SPONSORS, BUT SOME THINK WE ARE TOO BUSY... |
| 07:52:26 |
|
WE'RE NOT. LET'S DO THAT NOW, AND WE'LL COME BECOME AND SEE IF WE CAN MOVE ALONG IN THE GAME OF CLUE.... |
| 07:52:41 |
|
GENTLEMAN FROM OHIO HAS A CHART -- |
| 07:52:45 |
|
IF YOU COULD BE MY ASSISTANT, I WOULD APPRECIATE THAT -- I'VE GOT ONE MORE. |
| 07:52:57 |
|
WHICH ONE ARE YOU GOING TO START WITH? |
| 07:53:00 |
|
LAST YEAR WE USED THE CHART THAT MR. TIBERI IS GOING TO GIVE ME A HAND WITH. PEOPLE MAY REMEMBER THAT... |
| 07:59:58 |
|
WHILE ALL THIS IS HAPPENING, THE THREE OF US REPRESENT THE STATE OF OHIO. THERE ARE REAL FAMILIES... |
| 08:02:15 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEMAN FROM FOR HIS -- THE GENTLEMAN FOR HIS OBSERVATIONS. IF YOU'LL GO TO THE JUMP... |
| 08:03:51 |
|
I THINK THE GENTLEMAN IS RIGHT ON TARGET HERE AND AS STOCKS TANK, LET ME TELL YOU, IT IMPACTS EVERYBODY.... |
| 08:05:47 |
|
THE GENTLEMAN'S POINT IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. IN THE LAST 2 1/2 YEARS, THE AMERICAN PUBLIC CAN REST... |
| 08:07:29 |
|
NOT TO INTERRUPT BUT SHOULD WE ADD THE BUDGET DIRECTOR TO THE CHART? WE SHOULD PROBABLY DO THAT. |
| 08:07:36 |
|
NEXT TIME WE'LL PUT HIM BECAUSE HE'S UP THERE, TOO. IN FACT, THEY HAVE BEEN COMING ON EIGHT HOURS... |
| 08:09:41 |
|
AND I THINK WHAT HE'S SAYING IS THREE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE. WE HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF THE SENATE ON... |
| 08:10:13 |
|
I DO, TOO. LET ME GET TO THAT FOR A SECOND. AND THERE WAS ANOTHER ARTICLE THAT APPEARED ON MARCH... |
| 08:10:38 |
|
WITHOUT OBJECTION. |
| 08:10:41 |
|
IS QUOTES AN A.I.G. EXECUTIVE AND, WELL, THE ARTICLE SAYS, ACCORDING TO A.I.G., THE PAYMENTS WERE... |
| 08:14:04 |

|
I THANK THE SPEAKER AND TODAY, THIS ARTICLE STARTS WITH, NO WONDER SENATOR DODD WENT WOBBLY LAST WEEK... |
| 08:15:07 |

| 08:15:13 |
|
WILL THE GENTLEMAN YIELD? |
| 08:15:18 |
|
I'M HAPPY TO. |
| 08:15:20 |
|
MOST WOULD POINT THE FINGER AT THE SENATOR, WHICH MEANS HE DIDN'T DO IT, WHICH MEANS IT'S PROBABLY... |
| 08:15:30 |
|
I'M A BIG FAN OF AGATHA KRISTIE, AND AS YOU READ THE -- AGATHA CHRISTIE AND AS YOU READ THE BOOKS,... |
| 08:15:48 |

LAST TIME I CHECKED, THE CONSTITUTION DOESN'T LET ANYBODY IN THE ADMINISTRATION WRITE A LAW. THE... |
| 08:16:47 |
|
WILL THE GENTLEMAN YIELD, I'D LIKE TO SUBMIT THIS FOR THE RECORD, AN ARTICLE OUT OF "THE LOS ANGELES... |
| 08:16:56 |
|
WITHOUT OBJECTION. |
| 08:16:59 |
|
THE PRESIDENT HAS NO WAY TO SET LAWS FOR CONGRESS BUT HE'LL MAKE SURE THAT CONGRESS DOESN'T CONDUCT... |
| 08:18:17 |
|
I DO HOPE THAT IN THE MARKUP OF THE RESOLUTION OF INQUIRY TOMORROW WE DO SEE TRANSPARENCY AND BIPARTISANSHIP... |
| 08:19:07 |
|
LET ME SAY AS A NEW MEMBER FROM OHIO, I SERVED 10 YEARS IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE, BEEN HERE LESS ... |
| 08:20:19 |
|
THANK YOU. |
| 08:20:24 |
|
I HOPE WE DON'T HAVE TO COME BACK NEXT WEEK AND ADD MORE. I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE A DEMOCRAT HAVING... |
| 08:21:05 |
|
I THANK BOTH GENTLEMAN FOR PARTIES -- BOTH GENTLEMEN FOR PARTICIPATING AND I THANK THE SPEAKER. I... |
| 08:21:28 |
|

| 08:46:19 |
|
HAVING COME FROM NYCERTA, YOU MENTIONED MY ROLE THAT I HELD 15 YEARS, BUT THEN I MOVED TO NYCERTA... |
| 08:50:38 |
|
THAT'S A VERY IMPRESSIVE STORY, STARTING WITH REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURES, TO RIGHT THROUGH THE... |
| 08:51:24 |
|
I HEAR YOU, CONGRESSMAN BLUMENAUER. I THINK IN THIS COUNTRY, BEYOND ANY OTHER WORK CONSUMPTION PER... |
| 08:54:41 |
|
I LOVE THE PHRASEOLOGY, A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TURNED GREEN. I THINK THAT IS WELL SAID. YOUR ANALOGY... |
| 08:59:02 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THE STRATEGY IS ONE THAT WILL PRODUCE A THOUGHTFUL EXCHANGE HERE IN THE HOUSE... |
| 09:02:52 |
|
CONGRESSMAN TONKO, WE ARE FORTUNATE TO HAVE YOUR 15 YEARS OF COMMITTEE LEADERSHIP AND YOUR WORK AT... |
| 09:06:50 |
|
NOT ONLY THAT, CONGRESSMAN BLUMENAUER, WITH THAT INTENSITY THAT YOU JUST SHARED WITH US, IT TELLS... |
| 09:10:15 |
|
I LOVE YOUR VERBIAGE, INCLUDING THINKING OUTSIDE THE BARREL. I THINK THAT'S A VERY POWERFUL CONCEPT.... |
| 09:12:38 |
|
LET ME TELL YOU, PART OF MY CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT INCLUDES A CITY DUBBED THE CITY THAT LIGHTS AND... |
| 09:15:27 |
|
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DEAL WITH THESE ISSUES TOMORROW WITH THE BUDGET MARKUP AND NEXT... |
| 09:15:49 |
|
I KNOW YOU STAND FOR PROGRESSIVE POLICIES IN OREGON AND YOU PER SON -- PERSONIFY THAT VERY WELL. ... |
| 09:16:06 |
|
UNDER THE SPEAKER'S ANNOUNCED POLICY OF JANUARY 6, 2009, THE CHIR RECOGNIZES THE GENTLEMAN FROM IOWA,... |

RECLAIMING MY TIME AND THANK THE GENTLELADY FOR THE ELOQUENT PRESENTATION ON THE ECONOMIC SIDE OF THIS... |
| 09:36:05 |
|
WE HAVE SEEN SINCE LAST YEAR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT BECOME THE BANK OF FIRST RESORT AND THE BANK OF... |
| 09:37:39 |
|
IF THE GENTLELADY WOULD YIELD TO A QUESTION, IT JUST OCCURS TO ME AS YOU SPEAK OF THIS, LET'S PRESUME... |
| 09:38:33 |
|
EXACTLY. WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN THE QUESTION ANSWERED YET. IT APPEARS THAT ONLY LARGE INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS,... |
| 09:40:18 |
|
LET'S NOT FORGET WHAT A.I.G. WAS. ONCE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT CAME IN AND FEDERALIZED A.I.G., A.I.G.... |
| 09:41:09 |
|
AND WE KNOW THERE WON'T BE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS TO BE MADE WHOLE. I'M ASKING... |
| 09:41:28 |
|
IF THERE'S ONE FINAL THING I COULD ADD TO THE GENTLEMAN'S REMARKS, IT WAS AMAZING THIS AFTERNOON. ... |
| 09:42:45 |
|
IT IS REFLECTIVE TO ME TO THINK ABOUT, AS YOU DISCUSSED THIS ATTITUDE ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT... |

|
IT MAKES ME WONDER IF WE'LL HAVE POLITICALLY CORRECT WAGE DECISIONS THAT WILL BE MADE. FOR INSTANCE,... |
| 09:45:36 |

THE POINT I'M MAKING IS THE POINT THAT THE GENTLELADY MADE AND THAT IS GETTING TO THE FOUNDATIONAL... |

| 09:56:15 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME FROM THE GENTLELADY OF MINNESOTA WHO HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT COMMITMENT IN HER OWN... |
| 09:56:39 |
|
WE HAD GREAT KIDS AND A GOOD HUSBAND. |
| 09:56:44 |
|
I REMIND MY WIFE OF THAT AND I APPRECIATE THAT COMMENT. GOING BACK TO THIS OFFICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL... |
| 09:57:05 |
|
AND HELP MAKE HIS STATEMENTS FOR HIM, BECAUSE THESE ARE WRITTEN STATEMENTS THAT BM BINDING PRECEDENT... |
| 09:57:16 |
|
BINDING PRECEDENT AND THE ABILITY TO WRITE THAT INTO STATEMENTS OR WHISPER INTO THE PRESIDENT'S EAR... |
| 09:57:25 |
|
IT ALSO BINDS THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES. THIS HAS POWER THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PRESIDENTIAL ADMINISTRATION.... |
| 09:57:37 |
|
AND IT WOULD LIMIT THE ABILITY OF EACH OF THE AGENCIES TO REACT TO THE VERY POLICY THAT THIS CONGRESS... |
| 09:59:24 |
|
IT SEEMS CONTRARY TO FEMNISM. FEMNISM EMPOWERS WOMEN AND BELIEVES THAT WOMEN HAVE THE ABILITY TO GIVE... |
| 09:59:45 |
|
EVEN WHEN THEY MAKE THAT DECISION THEMSELVES, AND AS A NEW GRANDFATHER MYSELF THREE WEEKS AGO TODAY,... |
| 10:00:18 |
|
EVERY CHILD IS A WANTED CHILD. THAT IS ONE OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD'S TRADE MARKS AND ONE OF THE BIGGEST... |
| 10:01:17 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, IT'S TRUE THAT EVERY CHILD IS BOTH WANTED, BUT ALSO EVERY CHILD IS PLANNED AND... |
| 10:02:52 |
|
THIS STATEMENT IS A REMARKABLE STATEMENT, IT SEEMS TO INVOKE THE WORST HATE SPEECH YOU COULD POSSIBLY... |
| 10:03:37 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, THE GENTLELADY HAS ARTICULATED THIS VERY WELL. AS WE ADD THESE EXPRESSIONS UP,... |
| 10:04:52 |
|
I WOULD ADD WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IGNORANT I'VE HEARD. SPEAK TO ANYONE WHO... |
| 10:06:17 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME, THE TRAUMA THAT HAS BEEN VISITED UPON MANY, MANY THOUSANDS OF WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY... |
| 10:06:58 |
|
THAT'S THE CRUELEST THING THAT COULD BE DONE TO A WOMAN IN CRISIS, TO TELL HER THIS IS AN EASY, QUICK... |
| 10:07:28 |
|
BUT THEY MAY REFLECT THE MAJORITY OF THE INPUT THAT'S GOING INTO THE EARS OF THE PRESIDENT AS THESE... |
| 10:08:11 |
|
I WOULD SAY THIS REFLECTS HIS POSITION COMPLETELY. WE KNOW FROM THE PRESIDENT'S PREVIOUS VOTES WHEN... |
