I know we are pretty busy, so to catch everybody up here, a few of today's headlines: ``E-mail Show FEMA's Disarray.'' Documents offer a glimpse of communication breakdowns in the Federal response to Katrina. ``Inflation Soars Largest Amount in 15 years.'' ``General Motors Health Care Benefit Cut Part Of A Trend.'' ``Greenspan says surge in energy prices will act as a drag on economy.'' ``States Protest Contributions to the Medicare Drug Plan.'' The Bush administration is requiring States to pay billion of dollars to fund the new prescription drug benefit. ``Vice President Cheney's Office Is A Focus in Leak Case. Sources Cite Role of Feud With the CIA.'' ``As of Monday morning, 1,957 U.S. servicemen had died in the war on Iraq.'' Mr. Speaker, these stories serve as a wakeup call for change, or we can continue the same policies that have led us to this direction and this place. America can do better. We need new priorities. In the spirit of Edward R. Murrow, ``Good day, and good luck.'' ____________________
