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
1901. I thought, who could this below be . Theourse, when i opened archives, i realized with a rich subject it was. John hay, his life really has two bookends at either end of his biographical shelf. There is lincoln on one end, he was his private secretary, lived in the white house for every war years. So much of what we know about techoln come from hays with him.

You referred to the stockpiling of uranium being high. Is not the position of the iransent thats enriched uranium is proof that iran is seeking Nuclear Weapons . They have not explained it any other way. Theirs the problem with Nuclear Program. It is impossible to explain, for purely peaceful purposes you all right. You are right. Kilogramsdred and 82 182 kilograms. There Nuclear Program cannot be explained in civilian terms for civilian purposes.

Mr. Pe try without amendment. The speaker pro tempore the pending bill is the Union Calendar version which has not been amended. The gentleman from West Virginia is recognized. Mr. Rahall i yield myself such time as i may consume. Congress has previously grandfathered truck weightsen roads that have on ta obtained interstate designation including in wisconsin and maryland, i point that out to note that what is being propose in the pending legislation is not without precedent or justification.
