BOEHNER VS OBAMA-INTRO

LAWMAKERS HAVE 32 DAYS TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO REDUCE THE COUNTRY'S DEFICIT, BEFORE THE U-S FALLS OFF THE SO-CALLED "FISCAL CLIFF".

THE AUTOMATIC TAX INCREASES AND SPENDING CUTS ARE SET TO TAKE EFFECT JANUARY FIRST.

BOEHNER VS OBAMA-PKG

The Democrats have yet to get serious about real spending cuts.

HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER SUMMED UP THE REPUBLICANS' RESPONSE TO THE WHITE HOUSE PLAN FOR AVOIDING THE "FISCAL CLIFF". SPECIFICS WERE REVEALED THURSDAY. THE PLAN CALLS FOR ONE-POINT-SIX TRILLION DOLLARS IN TAX INCREASES AND REFORMS. IT LEAVES CHANGES TO MEDICARE AND OTHER GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS TO BE FIGURED OUT NEXT YEAR. THE G-O-P SAYS IT NEEDS THOSE ANSWERS NOW.

I've made clear that we've put real concessions on the line by putting revenues on the table right up front. Unfortunately many Democrats continue to rule out sensible spending cuts that must be part of any significant agreement that will reduce our deficit.

BOEHNER SAID HE'D BE WILLING TO NEGOTIATE TAX REFORM NEXT YEAR. BUT DEMOCRATS--AND SOME REPUBLICANS-- ARE PUSHING FOR THE HOUSE TO IMMEDIATELY PASS A SENATE BILL THAT WOULD KEEP TAXES FROM RISING ON MIDDLE CLASS AMERICANS IN JANUARY.

"The wealthy are going to have to start paying their fair share of taxes. And I am happy to report to you what you already know. Is that more and more Republicans are catching on to that fact."

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-CLIP

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

From today through the upcoming weekend, our weather will stay under the influence of a large area of high pressure, offering us mix of sun and clouds along with comfortably warm temperatures during the day and cool conditions at night.

The strong flow around the high pressure cell to our north will keep the easterly breeze pretty stiff for the next few days. Winds will generally range from 10-15 mph with gusts getting as high as 25 mph.

One thing we won't see very much of around here for the next several days is rain. Overall, our rain chance from today through the weekend will stay around 10% or less, but it's not out of the realm of possibilities to get a few passing sprinkles during the afternoon.

While rain will be pretty hard to come by today, clouds will not. In fact, there could be periods today when we have more clouds than sun; there's actually a very weak weather system passing through the area, which is why we expect the extra cloud cover. The weekend shouldn't be as cloudy as today, but we'll still have a fair share of patchy fair-weather clouds.

Our temperatures from today through most of next week will stay very seasonable, if not just a couple degrees above average. The average high for this time of year is 79, and the average low is 60. That's exactly where temperatures will be for our Friday. After starting the morning with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s, we'll end up in the upper 70s and low 80s during the afternoon. Temperatures over the weekend might be just a couple notches warmer with daytime highs around 82.

ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO TOYS FOR CHILDREN - SOME ARE FOUND TO CONTAIN DANGEROUSLY HIGH LEVELS OF LEAD.

TOY DANGERS-PKG

This might look like fun--U.S. customs officers BLOWING BUBBLES with these

colorful TOYS. But the work is deadly serious and might save your child's

life.

Thursday authorites were TESTING this toy car in a New Jersey warehouse--

right out of the box-- for lead contamination.

CUSTOMS OFFICIAL SOT: " you see on the red part it says fail" / "It's

showing that there is an excessively high content of lead in these rubber

tires, so that's something that children could ingest and that would be

harmful to their development."

This year, Customs Officials and the Consumer Product Safety Commission have

blocked record amounts of overseas shipments bound for toy stores near you

-- seizing more than 2 million toys and children products.

AGUILAR SOT: Parents, grandparents, families please be vigilant and think

safety as you shop. "

Dolls and action figures, toy guns and cars---the prime gifts that should

bring holiday cheer are often among the most dangerous items. Some have

electrical or choking hazards. Others sharp edges.

And lead contamination is a growing concern.

In some cases, the lead levels are 1,000 TIMES HIGHER THAN U.S. FEDERAL

STANDARDS ALLOW.

CUSTOMS OFFICIAL SOT: There are toys that get through customs and end up on

toy shelves, but we also send people out to do retail sweeps

What can you do to protect your child? Examine the toy closely for possible

choking, and electrical hazards.

BUT TO SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN, CHAIRWOMAN OF THE SELECT INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, THE REPORT SHOWS THAT ".IF THE POLITICAL WILL EXISTS, WE COULD FINALLY CLOSE GUANTANAMO WITHOUT IMPERILING OUR NATIONAL SECURITY."

THE REPORT SAYS THERE ARE ABOUT TWO-THOUSAND STATE, FEDERAL AND LOCAL PRISONS THAT COULD BE SUITABLE FOR THOSE DANGEROUS DETAINEES.AND SIX MILITARY FACILITIES.

"Certainly the most likely place that the prisoners would be sent would be the maximum security military prison at Ft. Leavenworth Kansas. That is set up for maximum security. There have never been any escapes. That's the most likely."

"But you would then give him all the constitutional advantages of being an American citizen. You would then have security provisions to bring him here. Then you give him years and years of a show trial whereby he could do things- and the 9/11 families think this is a very very bad idea."

AMONG THE CHANGES AT U-S FACILITIES THAT WOULD NEED TO TAKE PLACE TO BRING MOHAMMED AND OTHER DETAINEES TO AMERICA, ACCORDING TO THE G-A-O:

THE RISK TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WOULD HAVE TO BE MINIMIZED.

SOME POTENTIAL MILITARY JAILS ARE ON BASES CLOSE TO THE PUBLIC.
