In what is widely expected to be the start of a trend , NBC said it will become the first national network to put the entire broadcast of its evening news onto the Web just hours after it originally airs . " Before I met Bonpasse and before I became a member of the international advisory board of the Single Global Currency Association , I stated in my article entitled , Are We Headed Toward One World Currency ? " And in the process , they 'd be taking a large step toward dealing with the real pirates - - the hard-core professional criminals who are making their fortunes by copying and distributing entertainment industry product on - and offline . The report says that about 36 million Americans , or 27 percent of U.S. Internet users , download music or video files from the Web and that half of them have found ways to swap their files without using legal sources or P2P networks . For the Association , however , such unions are interim steps toward the Global Monetary Union , which would eliminate all currency crises , eliminate the need for costly foreign exchange reserves , eliminate the concern about balance of payments and eliminate currency risk , which would lead to a vast multi-trillion dollar increase in the value of worldwide assets . because the technology of computers and communications has enabled the faster distribution of information to a vastly larger audience than ever before ... " I started thinking that there 's got to be a way to get the music out to the people without necessarily going through the long arduous process of signing a regular , physical record deal , " he observed .

One year ago , I came before this committee to discuss the recall of Firestone tires , and at that time , you asked what we could do to assure the public that this type of safety calamity would not happen again . I mean , last year we were very confident about all the data that we had , and this year we're taking all of the tires off the road , so - - all of the Wilderness AT tires off the road . Ultimately the reason we are here today , and the reason we are not leaving this to the courts and solely NHTSA ( the regulators whose job it is to do these things ) is that we are trying to move quickly and determine what safety concerns are out there . We're just a lot more stringent with information and getting data out to the public , and that 's part of the frustration . Like I said , I replaced my own tires on my Explorer , and when you have an accident , it 's an accident - - they do n't call it `` safety data '' or `` claims data , '' it 's an accident for the people out there . Mr. Dingell asked you some questions which I find very interesting , and talked about the standards of tires and the width , the skin stock , the body , the belt , and basically the response was - - you set performance specs up for the industries to compete , and some of the types of performance specs were speed , handling , wet weather , snow .
