He claims that. I have to address this. Yes, im back. I noticed everyone was like my gosh, were you at mikes wedding. So i went to address all these rumors now that im back. Look at this first photo. This is where i was. It is a is in place for a wedding. However, it was in the mikes wedding. I was in cancun mexico. Mike is somewhere else. I hope he is not getting married. But you infer necessity with that guy. I was in cancun. You stayed at live aqua hotel. This is hotel from the hotel room. Isnt that nice. You know im super jealous. We are early risers with the the show and everything. I woke up. Watch sunrise. Take a look at this sunrise next to the pool and you have the the ocean there, it was absolutely beautiful. It is a spa hotel. So they have these little aroma things all throughout the the area. You walk in and it has a smell. It was so funny you can go to the spa and have inn sense burning.

It. If you want me to name 2, 1 which sounds pedestrian but is a vexing situation and wasteful the current rigorous oversight of attendance of scientists at scientific meetings. We are spending 16 million and using hundreds of employees to go through a process which has little if any added value. All of this triggered by some misadventures by other agencies who convened conferences in places like las vegas. Going to conferences is a way new ideas emerge. We could much benefit from your help there. The second one, the department of energy and their scientific budgeting that happens every year, they are allowed to carry funds into a second year. We are not. We, to the end of september with money we need to spend or it goes away. If we have the opportunity to carry that over we could be more flexible in how we spin the taxpayers money. Thank you. I certainly agree with what dr. Collins said. Administrative issues . Or broader . I dont want to want to make sure we dont waste our time. Let
The chair will alternate recognition between the parties with each party limited to one hour and each member other than the majority and minority leaders and the minority whip each, to five minutes but in no event shall debate ontinue beyond 1 50 p. M. The chair recognizes the gentleman from oregon, mr. Lumenauer, for five minutes. Mr. Blumenauer i arrived at my office this morning to a politico on the front page head line blumenauers death panel bill lives on. Its actually a terrific article by jo ann kenan but a terrible headline about nonexistent death panels symbolizes why three congresses later we still have not helped families deal with the most difficult circumstances any of us will ever encounter. This issue hit me with full force 10 years ago in the midst of the Terri Schiavo case. Where we watched one familys tragedy turn into a National Media circus and a political spectacle. All because one 27yearold woman didnt have a conversation with her loved ones to make her wishes kno

I could apply for citizenship but theres nothing that technically says i have to become a citizen. Theres millions who come to the United States who have children and they still have to leave, even though they came here legally. Are you aware that . I did not know that. So it wouldnt be treating your family any different than we treat the millions and millions of people who come legally to the United States and they dont have a right to stay in the United States. Now, i want to find a
Instability, anger and division. Thats what is disappointing to me. Mr. Speaker, as i look to the president to lead this country, i want to look at a man who, of his past and who he is, a very dynamic person. Came from very tough circumstances to become president of the United States. I wish he would say, you know what . My job is to lead this conversation about jobs and the economy. My job is to lead this conversation, look, we tried stimulus spending. I really thought it would work, but it didnt. Some republicans, why dont you come to the white house . Why dont you have a conversation with me . I havent been invited for years. Maybe we arent going to find any agreement, but at least we can respect each others opinions and say what do we need to do to get our economy back on track. Why is it 7 of our neighbors dont have jobs, many of them are underemployed in jobs they dont want. Why is that . What can we do to come together . Mr. Gardner what we have been able to do for jobs, i know
