Feel differently about the effectiveness of the office of Inspector General. Attorney general cole asked the office of Legal Council to issue a formal opinion resolving this dispute. I hope the Principle Deputy assistant attorney general Karl Thompson and his team would adhere to the plain text of the statute and to our obvious intent and grant the Inspector General unfettered access to every document in the departments position. If the office of Legal Counsel find ambiguity to hold in place any of them on the Inspector Generals access to information, the house judiciary should be the first to act to correct their mistaken impression. Inspector general horowitz, we welcome and we look forward to your testimony today. And to your assistants legislative response is indeed required. I thank the chairman and yield back. The chair thanks the gentleman. And chair understands that the gentleman from ohio would like to make a brief statement welcoming the Inspector General. I thank the chairma
Happening in terms of natural gas in the production generated in this country that is far less polluting than coal, and i think on that. Eed to focus we need to look at the carbon generating coal fire plant and make sure that we are not having to dramatic and impact or having a dramatic impact on rate payers, and also, we have to be concerned about the economy in the areas that are dealing with this. I believe we have to get away from carbon generators as the primary source of energy in this country, and this is one way that needs to be explored to do that. Like the nlrb, the epa is another agency thats out of control. Certainly, our Coal Companies in the state of virginia know that. The policies my opponent discusses are killing our coal industry, and then he is not supporting things like offshore drilling, the keystone pipeline, and other ways we can have more Affordable Energy. The way you get an economy moving is to have Affordable Energy. Our gas prices have gone up. If you are th
They took an old vietnam veteran man, put a pacemaker in his heart in this hospital and sent him home. They didnt keep him overnight for observation. His son found him the next morning dead and i am sure he would have been saved if they would have kept him overnight. The commercial thats on tv now with the ladies talking about the guy, her brother or somebody who committed suicide because this Emergency Rooms that ocoee dont have any beds for you. Golay home home and lay down and come back when you feel better. Look up that hallway, theres a ton of beds and i have always been there. At one point and this is from people of your staff, those beds were moved because karen didnt want them there but now that shes gone they are back. I heard that the day before yesterday. They are back. They hide them for their purposes and when they dont need them hidden anymore they bring them out. Thats not a storeroom. Thats a hallway. Thats a hallway out that door. I went to the wrong room. They are in
The president encouraged all of us to spend time with the press because even on an offtherecord, if we couldnt answer their questions, we better go back and do more homework. The last thing ill say, one of my fondest vignettes of the press and reagan was Sam Donaldson, lou cannon of the Washington Post, Andrea Mitchell of nbc news were all fighting about who was going to do the last pool report on air force one or 26,000 as we headed back to california at the end of the reagan presidency. And my lasting memory on a portable typewriter was Sam Donaldson on the floor of air force one typing the final pool report and reagan came back to say thank you. Thats the kind of relationship, even though it gets tough, iran contra, my job in the aftermath of iran contra was to remind reagan before he went within shouting distance of sam or andrea or anybody else, remember if you answer the question on iran contra, you might as well not give the speech youre giving today because nobody is going to c
To authority, quite responsive to what a president wants and if you look at the various covert actions over the years and ill be discussing some of them, these were directed, conceptualized orchestrated endorsed by president s of the United States. Now, when we get into the controversy of the cia itself, i think its important to understand that when president s come to washington, they fall in love with two institutions. They fall in love with camp david and they fall in love with the cia. And when they fall in love with the cia, unfortunately, its with the clandestine aspect of the cia. Its Clandestine Operations and its covert action that they fall in love with. Harry truman was an exception to this and ill discuss that in a minute. When president s have had trouble with the cia, its been over intelligence analysis where i spent 24 years as a soviet analyst. And the remarks of a couple president s will i think demonstrate what i mean. One of my favorites is Richard Nixon. When Richar
