the stress tests were, to an extent, an exercise in establishing a public confidence in these keystone institutions. that public confidence would be strengthened by another in duration of the test and a reassessment is required. this display of transparency and openness would again regain confidence in the legitimacy of the process. banking regulators have found many of the nation's largest institutions to be in good financial health and will be permitting the return of taxpayer dollars to the taxpayers. however, i remain concerned about the lack of transparency in this process. i look forward to during more details about the oversight panel's assessment today. and i thank professor warren for her unfailing commitment to transparency in all aspects of the bill in process. i thank you, madam chair, and with that, i yield back. >> thank you, the chair recognizes mr. -- mr. hinchey for five minutes. >> thank you very much. professor warren, i want to stay stuck with what my friend mr. cummins said just a few minutes ago. we very deeply appreciate all that you have done. all the analysis t

madam speaker, i rise today to congratulate the winner the of the 2009 keystone center leadership award for leadership in industry, mr. hugh grant, chairman, president, and c.e.o. of monsanto corporation. keystone awardees have contributed to society in ways that respect the -- reflect the spirit and mission of the keystone center and demonstrated a history of achievement with a strong sense of vision, of proven ability to motivate others, dedication to teamwork and consensus in the drive and ability to initiate fundamental and long-term positive change. i commend mr. grant's exemplary leadership and the 20,000 strong monsanto team for their extraordinary award efforts and positive influence on american agriculture. technological innovation, and generous contributions to international health, development, and their continued commitment to combating hunger. monsanto under grant's leadership proves that free enterprise is the most effective way to solve seemingly intractable problems like hunger in sub-saharan africa. not only has monsanto provided a sustainable food source for hundreds o

a provision that senator bingaman and i very early on came together on and said, "this should be a keystone, a cornerstone of our legislation," and i think that is a good, strong peace. we have got efficiency components and their that i think are good, a good energy work force training component -- we have got energy-efficient components in theire that i thik are good. there are other energy forms, as well, after about three months, i would say that we have put together a product that is comprehensive, looks to how we get to the next generation of renewable energy sources while at the same time recognizing that it is are more conventional fuel sources, whether it is oil, natural gas, or coal that have made this country what it is, and we will need to continue to use those resources. l.a.n. of along work period we want to see where it goes. -- at the end of a long work period, we want to see where it goes. when to go to the floor with it? i do not believe, certainly, we will see anything before fall. you have got enough on our plate right now with the appropriations bills that are starting t

that's a provision that senator bingaman and i very early on came together on and said, this should be a keystone, a cornerstone, of our legislation, and i think that that is a good, strong piece. we've got the efficiency components in there that i think are good. a good energy work force training component. and we've got some aspects of that that work force training that again will go a long way not only with the renewables but our other energy forms as well. so after about three months, i'd say that we have -- we've put together a product that is comprehensive, looks to how we -- how we get to the next generation of renewable energy sources while at the same time recognizing that it is our more conventional fuel sources, whether it's oil, natural gas, or coal that have made this country what it is. and we will need to continue to use those resources. so at the end of a long work period, i think we're ready to have final discussion on an energy bill and see where it goes. of course, that next discussion -- and i'll just preempt your question, when do we go to the floor with it? i don't think bel

i now want to yield one minute to a distinguished member of the committee from the great keystone state, mr. murphy of pennsylvania, one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for one minute. mr. murphy: a headline in yesterday 80's pittsburgh paper says more are suffering from the recession, according to the poll. and this is the time to give people in pennsylvania and throughout the united states hope. pennsylvania was built upon energy. we have abundant supplies of coal and natural gas and water and that's why steel is there. we invested in technology labs and we still have hundreds of years of coal. folks, this is the time we need to improve the efficiency of wind and solar so we can have them as energy resources. but let's not abandon steel because you can't make them without coal. let's make sure we invest in clean coal. this is the time when we say to kids, right now we get about 35% of the energy out of a lump of coal. and it does pollute. what we have to do is clean it up, invest in that and build clean coal plants. whoever figures out ho

and so pennsylvania, which is called the keystone state, keystone is a stone that is very important in a bridge. and in the same way pennsylvania was the keystone of the colonies because they were in the middle. besides which was the place where they were having the vote, where the congress was meeting. pennsylvania, the truth was, that most of their delegates were against voting for independence. so imagine what britain would have made of that, to have light in the papers would have said pennsylvania was the so-called condo congress is meeting is against the declaration of independence. here's what happened. it was almost like a miracle. and one of those things that make people even feel that america somehow has always had miraculous things happen to help in times of trouble. the vote would have been 4-3 against independent. but to delegates, i think it was robert morris and john dickinson who were against it at the time decided not to vote on the day, on july 2, 1776. if they had voted it would have been 4-3 against an pennsylvania would have gone against independent. what would you

i've spoken before about the keystone project up in michigan which reformed care in a significant number of michigan's intensive care units. it reduces infections, respiratory complications and other medical errors. between march 2004 and june 2005 -- just a little over a year -- the project is documented to have saved 1,578 lives, 81,020 days patients otherwise would have spent in the hospital, and over $165 million health care dollars. just in a little over a year. just in intensive care units. just in one state. and not even all the intensive care units in that state. in my home state, the rhode island quality institute has taken this model statewide with every hospital participating. and we are already seeing hospital acquired infections and costs declining. request aren't these quality reforms happening spontaneously all over the country? because government and private insurers haven't set up the right rules for the game. when welfare began our re -- when we began our reform, the hospital association recommended $400,000 cost for potential $8 millionization from the i.k.u. reform pr

it is key to our national interest because it is the keystone for southeast asia. southeast asia includes a number of countries, perhaps better known to the united states -- thailand, singapore, malaysia -- and many other smaller countries. it is the fifth largest trading partner of the united states. on top of that, it controls the straits of malaka, through which about 50% of the world oil supply travels. it also is an area which offers tremendous opportunity for economic growth for them and increased trade and economic benefits to the united states. s.b.y. was a general in the national army during the last decade of the suharto years. during that time fortunately he attended the international military education training institute at fort leavenworth, kansas. there, leaders of friendly countries come to learn from our military how a military should operate in the modern era, where military is under civilian control, where human rights and individuals are respected, where the army does not control the political process, where the army is subordinate to and protect

relies on the health of its oyster population, not only for their own value but becse they are the keystone species for the bay. this amendment is an important part of our broader efforts to restore the health of the bay. i think mr. pastor and mr. frelinghuysen for the committee's support. mr. chairman, i yield to mr. pastor. mr. pastor: i want to inform the gentleman we support his amendment. the chair: the gentleman reserve thinks balance of miz time. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. frelinghuysen: i rise to claim time in opposition, though i'm not in opposition to the gentleman's amendment. it would transfer $7 million to protect a nationally and regionally important resource. these oysters provide thousands of jobs to local oystermen. this is a huge project and must be balanced against other national priorityings and ask the gentleman to work closely with the corps to ensure their budget request reflects the needs of the program against the background of other demands the corps is facing. with that, i'm pleased to accept the gentleman's amendment and yield to mr. wittman of virginia.

if you go back and watch the coverage of them trying to get the flag to stand up, it looks like keystone cops. if you were going to fake it, you wouldn't make astronauts look so silly. >> next, the picture of buzz aldrin. there are conspiracy theorists say the shadows aren't right, well lit, coming from studio cameras, the shadow question. >> these are the most convincing for many people. the shadows look like different light sources. the answer is simple. they are different light surfaces, reflecting off the module, astronauts themselves, whatever irregularities there are on the surface. that would explain the fact that everything doesn't look like it's coming only from the light source of the sun. >> all right. finally a lot of people say it adds credence to the conspiracy theorists, where is the proof. nasa admitted they don't have the original video of the transmission, they taped over it by accident, they had hollywood restore it. what about that? >> well, this the one i swear almost makes the conspiracy theorist out of me, i hear oh, we don't have the tape anymore. a few years late

starting in two weeks, state workers in the keystone state get nothing on payday. susan lisovicz at the new york stock exchange with more. >> reporter: well, there are 69,000 state workers in pennsylvania. think about it. they work so many different businesses that we deal with on a daily basis, whether it's dmv, the court, prison systems, social services, and the legislators themselves. so these state workers got 70% of their paycheck friday. that was for june. june employment. and it's going to get lighter than that. the next two weeks, they're going to get nothing until this budget impasse is resolved. so far, it's 17 days and counting, and even after a budget is signed, employees won't still see their cash for several days and they won't get any interest on the money owed. what are they arguing about, kyra? over how to close a $2 billion budget gap. >> you've got nearly 70,000 workers who aren't getting paid, and then you're creating an even bigger crisis. >> reporter: no question about it. what do you do in the meantime? well, there are a few dozen financial i

a government crackdown on cigarette taxes is getting so intense in the keystone state that some smokers are now getting government bills in the thousands of dollars and even getting liens on their homes. to top it off the smokers say they have no idea why. >> gladys kramer has been buying cigarettes online for years now but feels burned. >> i said what the heck is this? this was not peanuts. this was 4500 plus dollars. so i called them and they told me it was tax on cigarettes. >> like a lot of americans, gladys thought ordering smokes on the web was twax-free. but then she received a notice from the state of pennsylvania demanding thousands of dollars in back sales taxes and the department of revenue slapped a lien on her house. >> how do i pay taxes on something that i don't know is taxed. >> it's a widely held misconception it is tax free, it's not. >> buying online is not an excuse to skip out on state taxes. by law, internet sites have to report the sales to state tax authorities which have become more aggressive in tracking down online buyers to pony up. >> the same mitt that make

that -- that to me is the keystone to the whole thing. the auctions are going to be paramount for our markets here in the united states. >> okay. >> but we need to get the world going it's got to be with the barrel of crude oil. >> let me just understand what conventional wisdom is here because so many people i talked to are certain that this rally is not for real, and it will go away and i just wonder if the stock market is climbing that particular wall of worry, that the selloff that everybody thinks is not conventional wisdom is in fact conventional wisdom here. >> directing this at me? >> that's for bobby. >> bobby hellor. >> people have been saying that for months. as soon as market started turning around from its bott tomgs in the first quarter everybody said it's a trap, it's a bear market, it's a trap, it's a trap. at some point you have to turn around and say, no, this is the late trend. late autumn selloffs and early this year were way overdone, no solid data to go on. it was just gut feeling and people selling, selling, selling

the southern sea otters are a keystone species, as the chairwoman pointed out. if they break the chain, the whole ooco-logical system falls apart. essential -- the whole ecological system falls apart. the sea urchins, they are like the snails of the ocean, they eat the seaweed. if they go unchecked, you'll clear cut the oceans and have no habitat for fish and other thing this is a live in kelp beds. sea otters, by eating urchins, and we have a big urchin industry in california as well, have been compatible for years and years. the problem we have with the southern sea otter is its remarkable recovery and it's a tribute to federal law that listed them because there were less than 100 animals, now they're up to about 2,000. but guess what? they're not growing, and there are less than there were a few years ago. there is something happening to this species that nobody can understand. that's why you need specific legislation to try to get, as the bill points out, it's a research bill. i want to point out to the ranking member, mr. hastings, where he pointed out that

the governor of the keystone state, a democrat and he has some big shoes to fill today. i hope he's warmed up. >> he's a good clean-up hitter. >> all right. today there's a way to save more for retirement, with annuities from fidelity. turn your savings into income -- guaranteed, and get a retirement "paycheck" for life -- guaranteed. call... to get started, and learn how to secure retirement income that won't go down -- guaranteed. call fidelity at... for details about guaranteed income for life, and change the way you think about your retirement savings. >>> we know the nation's economy is hurting and states from coast to coast are feeling the pinch. pennsylvania's budget impasse approaching its fifth week so the pressure is certainly on for our next guest, the keystone governor, etd rendell joins us from -- i believe, new york. >> no, i'm in philadelphia. the president will be in philadelphia in an hour. >> so far we've had steve forbes, chris christie, mayor rudy giuliani is our guest host. >> so we're coming to you. big shoes to fill here. >> you'll be a great clean

why don't we have every intensive care unit participating in the keystone-type quality initiative? why doesn't every community health center have a robust diabetes prevention program? well, it has to do with the bizarre economics of our health care system. because the same thing is true for all three entities. if you're a doctor and you want to put electronic health record system in for your patients, if you're a hospital and you want to improve the quality of care in your intensive care unit and put in a program that will do that, if you're a community health center that wants to invest in prevention to help your diabetic population stay healthy, you face the exact same predicament in all three cases. and that the investment you have to make is 100% out of your pocket. the risk of the investment is 100% on your neck. the hassle of the entire thing, the administrative burden of it is 100% -- the presiding officer: the senator is over 15 minutes. mr. whitehouse: may i continue for two minutes? the hassle of it is 100%. all of the costs are on the desk of the doctor, on the desk of t

so it is a little keystone, and unlike european colonialists the jungles did not release the kind of homicidal racism that was seen in the heart of darkness but rather almost a lilting dystocia, not for a receiving klaus jungles, lost tropical rain forest, but more for an america that they had left at home and also for a changing america, one that the ford motor company, their employers, their employer, was largely responsible with dispatching. there's something about the amazon when one reads the chronicles of the amazon. the amazon almost induces people to wax philosophically or existentially in a very florid allegory about the enormous nature of the amazon, how it seduces man to impose his will and only to render that will implement. think of verna heard sog's interview in burden of dreams, just the way that people talk about the amazon as this place and the of moral meaning and very florid. there is something about though the men and women that ford sent down, most of them from michigan, a lot of them also from the upper peninsula down to the amazon. they were almost immune or in

if they move down to below premium we have keystone light the fastest growing brand in that category in the united states so we benefit there. it's not just a question of price. i mean, consumers are sticking with their brands but looking for better value within that so they're purchasing big boxes rather than smaller units. so it's really -- you've got to be able to match the consumer right across the piece and give a value prop popgs osition at tt place and time. >> thanks very much, peter. >>> you gave your trade, sam. one thing i thought was curious is that everyone gets so excited about coming out of this slowdown. things are going to turn.. he said look. it's a continuation of the first quarter. it's not like you're suddenly seeing consumers behave differently or go back to the higher end. it's going to be slower maybe than people think. >> the new normal. >> i'm wondering if there is a counter cyclical. you're out of work. you're drinking beer. i don't know.. >> you're in work you're drinking beer.r. >> probably keystone, too. >> i love these cash flow businesses where they ar

[laughter] we had a net book that was personally edited by the president, a set of campaign promises, and it was absolutely sacrosanct. at the same time, carter was the kind of -- more even than those to talk him -- and insurgent candidate. i worked in the senate. we had another candidate in something happened to him. and he ran against washington and he had a very difficult time, i think, making his agenda fit with their agenda. it never really did work out. if i can say one thing, i think he did a tremendous favor to his successors. we lost a ton of senate seats women lost in 1980 that nobody -- george nelson, george mcgovern, they had be

s when they are dragged before congress by the keystone cops for these kangaroo courts, but do you see a pattern here? just once i would like a hearing where the questioners are questioned, the grillers are grilled and the probers are themselves probed, ideally by very sharp cold metal devices but i digress. to me, that would be fair. that would be balanced, but that would not be washington, would, it where rockefeller can cass aspersions on industry's wealth and congressmen go after that wealth. forget what insurance can do for us. for god's sake, is there any insurance to protect us from them? man, oh, man. all right. that will do it here. i'm going to see you here one hour from now on fox business news, who says the co-op is jus
