Place where his professional journey began, at carnegie where he served as an intern. After graduating from west and and ive known and admired nick for many years and we served together at the state department when nick worked for mister ross as a special middle east coordinators office. Nick went on to serve as one of the very few senior Us Government officials to serve virtually continuously since 9 11 in fighting terrorism around the world, first at the white house and then at nctc. Over the last three years, hes led and molded hundreds of colleagues from across 17 different federal agencies into a remarkably strong and cohesive team. At a moment when their increasing tendency, i think to disparage sometimes and to politicize the work of earlier Public Service, im especially glad to have the chance to highlight and honor the Public Service of Nick Rasmussen because nick has been the very best in Government Service so i hope youll join me in a warm welcome for Nick Rasmussen.

It as the potential to support more than 55,000 jobs in our state and contribute more than 53 billion in revenue. I urge my colleagues to support this amendment and at this time i would yield to the chairman. Mr. Calvert im not going to oppose your amendment. I certainly appreciate what youre trying to accomplish and generally agree that this administration has placed way too many restrictions on drilling both on shore and offshore. These restrictions have delayed the permitting process slowed Economic Growth in your state and many other states around the union, various groups have used that to their advantage, so i agree that more certainly certainty is needed in the leasing and permitting process. What im afraid of is that this might lead to a precedent for preempting the department of interiors Decision Making authority under any president and may lead to other amendments and kind of opening pandoras box of members doing specific amendments that are off their particular states.

Went on interstate 80, 27 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maccarthur maze. When you get to the bay bridge you will notice a big back up stretching through the maccarthur maze, backed up with no major issues driving through the area. Looking at interstate 880, traffic is moderately heavy. Looking at the san mateo bridge, everything getting more crowded but no major problems. We have some slow traffic, and we talked about the crash northbound at 880 at the Stevens Creek boulevard, but not causing a big traffic jam. The south bay commute in the main part of san jose and cupertino, sunnyvale, still looking good ahead of the crowd.
