Among the things he has said so far, that if confirmed he promised president obama that he will provide the best and candid advice going on to say that he pledged to protect our friends and allies in a turbulent and dangerous world. Also during his testimony he has been talking an awful lot about the budget. He says that the military cannot continue the way it is with sequester in place. Explain sequester and why it is such a Sticking Point for the military. Well, sequester orders the military to cut a specific budgets and project that is they had just off the top without any thought about prioritizing them and a lot of them have to do with western necessarily. Its going to force the army to down size, take a tremendous number of resources and have them leave service. He did say not every dollar is spent as it should.
Landed. Roger, tranquility. We copy on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We are breathing again. Thanks a lot. We are getting a picture on the tv. There is a great deal of contrast in it, and currently, it is upside down on our monitor, but we can make out a fair amount of detail. Ok. We can see you coming down the ladder now. Sunday, july 20, 1969, around the world, nearly a billion people watched this moment on television as the first man from earth repaired to set foot on the moon. I am at the foot of the ladder. The lm footpaths are only depressed in the service about one or two inches, although the service appears to be very dry, very, very finegrained as you get close to it. It is almost like a powder. Down there, it is very fine. I am going to step off the lm now. Thats one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

There is no such thing as an ideal river in nature but the Mississippi River is out of joint. Dust blowing in the west, floods raging in the east, we have seen these problems growing to alarming extremes. When we first found the great valley, it was 40 forested. Today, for every 100 acres of forest we found, we have ten left. Today 5 of the entire valley is ruined forever for agricultural use. 25 of the top soil has been shoved by the old river into the gulf of mexico.
