Camp from michigan. Hes retiring at the end of the this year as you all know and were going to lose a tremendous talent in dave camp. But when he got together to take on the most ambitious reform of the tax code that i have seen in my lifetime, he said lets see if we can get the Corporate Income tax rate down to kind of that oecd country average, kind of that World International average. Lets see if we can get in there with everybody else. Thats striking to me because it is the best effort, again, that i have seen in my lifetime, and it was an effort to see if we can be right there in the middle, if we can be mediocre. I dont know when it became true in america that when we set our goals on doing something, our goal is to be kind of like everybody else. Well, thats the way they do it in europe.

Drill further down into the deficiencies that have been revealed in the secret Services Policies and procedures, as well as any deficiencies with the physical security at the white house. In particular, i am interested in discussing how the service intends to improve security at the white house when, as was true on september 19th, the president or other protectees, are not present. A month after Omar Gonzalez was able to enter the white house, another fence jumper was quickly apprehended by secret service officers, including the k9 unit.
