Singing pans paens to this country, saying it would live forever. Fraunces tavern, an incredible place. It is fun to be among people who love American History. That does not happen very often. You all know this, the same problem. When people find out you are interested in history, they sort of look at you like, what is wrong with you . Why cant you get a life and do something useful . I, like you, have enjoyed American History. Quite by accident, i became a scholar and performer of john adams, and later Alexander Hamilton. Yes, i wear a wig and tights. An unusual thing to do, but it is a great, great medium. And you can get people who hate history really involved. Whatever you might sacrifice in terms of accuracy, you more than make up for in terms of audience participation and involvement. I have been to prisons. I have been to schools that feel like prisons. [laughter] and it is incredible. It is amazing how excited people get when they actually have a chance to talk to a Founding Me
Deferring to this week, trying to make the process slightly better. I certainly appreciate in spite of the fact we dont have a full presentation, i appreciate the presentation hes going to make. Mr. Secretary. Well, mr. Chairman and Ranking Member corker, it really is a pleasure for me to be back before the Foreign Relations committee. During my time here we have some things right. We certainly wound with up wishing we had done things differently. Most of us would agree and i saw it during both parties chairmanships including the years senator luger and i were here that this Committee Works best and makes the greatest contribution to the Foreign Policy and our country when it addresses the most important issues in a strong bipartisan fashion. This is one of those issues. The chairman and the Ranking Member both said that. This is one of the moments when the bipartisan approach really is critical. As you know, the president is committed to engaging with the committee and all of your col
The out of cost pocket insurance is going high. I dont know whats happening with new york. Everybody needs to create a p. O. Boxer for new york to get low health care costs.

As a spanish person its really an eye opener. Let me tell you something. I came here 40 years ago. The country was so different. There was not this division that it is now thats been driven by so many people. I sit here and i watch this. I think to myself this is the country that i came from. They come up here. They lie to you. They get away with it and they take our money. There is no repercussions for these people. We as the American People need to cla
Chapman, lor lorenzo goco, trecd genif, michael neblet, michael pezner, Caroline Tess and james wolf. And finally david granite, who has been a neverfaltering staff director throughout this review. Madam president , this study is bigger than the actions of the c. I. A. Its really about American Values and more or less. Its about the constitution, the bill of rights, our rule of law. These values exist regardless of the circumstances in which we find ourselves. They exist in peacetime and in wartime, and if we cast aside these values when convenient, we have failed to live by the very preseptembers that precepts that make our nation a great jaun. There is a r twhee carry the banner after great nation. So we submit this stud on behalf of the committee to the public in the belief that it will stand the test of time and with it the report will carry the message never again. I very much appreciate your attention and i yield to senator mccain. You can see the report. Up next, well would hear
Period, abu zubaydah got less than 10 hours of sleep yet the majority does not acknowledge this was an enhanceed interrogation. In light of these facts, the studys claims that the f. B. I.

His information was also used to gather additional actionable intelligence from these newly captured terrorists which in turn led to a series of successful capture operations and plot disruptions. By the studys own count, the numerous interrogations of abu zubaydah resulted in 766 solesource disseminated intelligence reports. Thats an awful lot of actionable intelligence collected under the c. I. A. Program that this study tries to qu
