the chairman for his dedication on this and those that testified, groups and organizations whoever on this for a long time, i do think we definitely need action in those areas. the bill thats of we don't necessarily stifle innovation that can help with some of the same areas we are talking about. i think concerns have been raised about this legislation that may require notice be provided and consent be obtained . the family tablet, gps and the car, is there a concern among some members of your that notification may be given to those who use the same device? >> i can speak to but the program code is. if you are transferring location

, you have to get consent. you have to get it download or on install. i would like to take this step address a point that ms. greenberg made. mentioning both participants in the development of our code. it will be enforceable later on this year. our program has announced more than 30 public actions against participants and nonparticipants alike. that is not pr. it's not an easy discussion to have that a company is somehow noncompliant with our program. this is the mission we've set out to do. divertnt to

transparency, control, and accountability. this is the program that we have and we think it serves industry and consumers well. >> to describe the program you to give some discipline about what you are talking about, you have given consent for investigation. how many did you say? been 33 public compliance actions. i think the number is in the 60-70 individual companies named in there. of those, we get compliance eventually but one did get referred to a federal authority. for me and iit really appreciate this hearing. thank you for your testimony, everyone. >> i would like to thank all the witnesses very quickly because i

don't want to have a long back and forth. would you like to respond, ms. greenberg? that weto take a moment are arguing with the idea that they may have pursued investigation. it's the code itself that is weak. to getdoes not need permission if they don't share the data and they keep it to themselves. if it does share precise location with totally different companies, they still do not need to get permission to share. if they are doing so for market saying it is full of holes, that is what i am referring to. code does call for consent when there is a transfer of location information. the reason we do that is we focus on when information is

being transferred to unrelated apps or sites. that is the code. >> is her characterization of the code not accurate? >> we focus on the transfer of information to unrelated apps and sites. we want to make consumers aware of that and give them control. that's the part of the code that thehe essential piece of daa program. >> we may follow-up on this. i want to do this forever. to thank the want ranking member, senator flake. i want to say of the witnesses who appeared today. detective hill took time out of his job to travel here and testify. we heard a lot of valuable testimony today. i think our bill will protect

and i will think about today's testimony though. we will work to address that feedback to make any needed improvements in the bill between theand by the time it is books. thank you. i mean that sincerely. thing thatre's one there is absolutely no question about. shut down.ps must it is unacceptable in this day and age that companies are making money off of stalking and brazenly marketing themselves as talkers is equally on except the bulb of the laws have new polls -- marketing themselves as unacceptablequally . we have to stop these apps. i think there is agreement here. we will hold the record open for one week for submission of questions to the witnesses and other materials. thank you.

thank you. thank you again. this hearing is adjourned. >> on tomorrow's newsmakers, wyoming senator john barrasso is the guest. he is the chair of the republican policy committee and he talks about the republican agenda in the senate. he also comments on recent actions taken by the obama administration, including its proposal for cutting carbon emissions and the recent u.s.-taliban and prisoner exchange. your is a preview. -- here is a preview. >> i think the climate is constantly changing. looki do know is when we at the response that you want to make, there are huge economic costs to that. when the president was running plan8, he said under his electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket, yes when he had -- yet when he had nancy

pelosi as speaker of the house and had 60 democrats of the u.s. senate, he still cannot get it were soecause there much opposition to what he had done now with regulations, so much legislative opposition from his own party that he was not able to get it passed, even with overwhelming numbers on his side. there is great opposition because people know that it hurts the economy, and emissions in the united states have been going down over the last 15 years, where they have been going up in china and india in so many places around the world. you could turn off the united states tomorrow and emissions worldwide will continue to increase. look at what is happening in russia. you think putin is going to follow the president's leadership on this? follow theseem to president on anything else. he sure is not going to do it about carbon emissions. accept it ifst

that is what the proof of sciences, and the argument would still hold water? one i say definitively this is what the scientists show reality is and the argument would still stand? >> i think the economic argument is the strong one to make. i think was interesting when the president and director of the epa, gina mccarthy, when they made their announcements monday both said electricity rates will drop. well, you know, i have not seen any proof, any science that would say that. i believe the president from 2008, electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket. >> watch the entire interview with senator brasso when newsmakers airs tomorrow at 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. eastern, here on c-span. >> the reason we are trying to

focus on the speaker is because it is the speaker, with the full majesty and weight of his position, who yesterday made certain allegations which at this point, at least, he has not yet answered. i will yield. you don't normally have that in the 26 hours you have presented this case to the public. the interesting fact is the moral tenure of your remarks, -- the moral tenor of your remarks, going back to 1972, taken out of context about you were there for one purpose alone, in my opinion, and that was to imply that members of the side were not american in their activity. you stop, you wavered. when you respond, you knew there was nobody there. you knew there was nobody there. men, from youro perspective, give us your

perspective on the two. >> speaker o'neill was a giant. he knew the politics of the house. he knew the politics of the house and he kept much of it to of othern terms members that he obviously received a great amount of intelligence all day long from members, what was going on in different places. and he always believed that the politics was the art of the possible. that nobody got their way all the time, and he was a broker within the democratic caucus and within the house. what you saw was newt gingrich, who made a conscious decision that they would always be in the minority because they worked with the majority. so he started tacking bob michael -- he started attacking bob michael, the leader, john rhodes, and everybody on that side, and his own party, because he said the only avenue to the majority is through confrontation.

and we're going to take them down, and this was an argument about the misuse of tv coming to askfore, where he would rhetorical questions and make these charges and a new that the chamber was empty. but at that time, the camera was very tight on the speaker at the time, wherever they were, and rule came to show that the chamber had people in it or it was empty and it changes the whole dynamics. that now,he process many years later, has torn this institution apart. it has really paralyzed the institution. miller,essman george sunday night at 8:00, on c-span's "q&a." >> in the weekly address, president obama talked about the importance of higher education and student loan refinancing. florida representative jeff miller has the republican address. he talks about the nation's veterans and recommends changes to the department of veterans affairs.

>> hi, everybody. this is commencement season come a time for graduates and their families to celebrate one of the greatest achievements in a young person's life. but for many graduates, it also means feeling trapped, by a whole lot of student loan debt. we have to do more to lift that burden. a 21st century economy, the surest pathway into the middle class is some form of higher education. forunemployment rate workers with a bachelor degree is 3.3%, about half of what it is for high school graduates. a typical graduate of a four-year college runs $15,000 more per year than somebody with just a high school diploma. neverime when college has been more important, it has also never been more expensive. that's why since i took office, i have worked to make college more affordable. we reform the student loans and give away billions of taxpayer dollars to big banks and

invested that money where it n helpingigger bang, im young people afford a higher education. over the past three decades, the average tuition at a public four-year college has more than tripled. the average undergraduate student who are is for college graduates now almost $30,000 in debt, printing too many young people who are first rate if have done everything they were supposed to do and now they are paying the price. i have taken action on my own to offer millions of students the opportunity to cap their monthly student loan payments to 10% of their income. congress needs to do its part. the good news is that senate democrats are working on a bill that would help more young people save money. just like you can refinance your mortgage at a lower interest rate, this bill would let you refinance student loans. and we pay for it by closing loopholes that allow some millionaires to pay lower tax rate than the middle class. that is the choice that your

representatives in congress will make in the coming weeks. protect young people from crushing debt or protect tax breaks for millionaires. while commerce decides what it is going to do, i will keep doing whatever i can without congress to help responsible young people pay off their loans. including new action that i will take us week. this country has always made a commitment to put a good education within the reach of all who were willing to work for it. that's what made us an economic superpower. that's what makes us special. as long as i hold this office, i will keep fighting to give more young people the chance to earn their own piece of the american dream. thanks, and have a great weekend. >> one this weekend when we honor the 70th anniversary of d-day, we are even more mindful of all we'll are veterans. that's why what has been happening at the v.a. hit so close to home. americans are, at our core, a grateful people. we reject the idea of letting our own people down.

andee all of this deception incompetence at the v.a., with no accountability, and no action, it is more than just a shame, it's a natural -- national disgrace. this week, we asked the president to take three immediate steps. first we asked the president to support a bill that the house -- has alreadyd passed that makes it easier to fire senior v.a. executives that refuse to do their jobs. no more slaps on the wrist. the only rights those who contributed to the scandal should have is the right to be shown the door. second, we asked the president to order the v.a. to fully cooperate with the committees that are investigating this matter. the v.a. is currently sitting on 111 requests from our committee alone. it's a case study on how to stonewall the public. this has to change. third, we asked the president to back reforms that would require the department to offer private any veteran faced with

the prospect of unacceptable wait for treatment. let me illustrate why this is so important. right here in, the hearing room of the house committee on veterans affairs, we heard the testimony of barry coates. barry is an army veteran who went to the v.a. and the fall of 2010, complaining of severe abdominal pain. he was prescribed a basic pain medication while a colonoscopy was delayed and delayed again. more than a year later, when the test was finally done, doctors discovered stage four cancer. a proper exam, the doctors told him, would have prompted treatment sooner. due to the inadequate and lack of follow-up care i received, he told us, i stand before you terminally ill. but there is more. at that same hearing, a senior v.a. official confirmed the agency had the authority to send patients like barry coates to private care.

least 23allows at veterans to die when i should have done more, when we hear reports of mismanagement everywhere from dallas to dayton to chicago, we know this is not a storm that will blow over. the underlying culture of corruption will still be there. this is why there is one more thing we asked the president to do. and that is to outline for america's veterans and american taxpayers a long-term vision for fixing what is clearly a broken system. the biggest health-care scandal in the v.a.'s history, and america deserves to know whether the president is committed to doing whatever it takes to make things right. you deserve to know whether he will personally step in and see this through. so while the house and senate work together to address these thelems, we will also hold president accountable. you have our word on that.

to every courageous whistleblower and veteran who has brought all of this to light , you have my thanks for speaking out and sharing your stories. together, we cannot fail. and together we will honor the spirit of those who stormed the beaches of normandy and the memory of those who never returned. >> this tuesday, simon & schuster is releasing hillary's latest book "hard choices." recently, book tv was at the book a butcher's office to talk with some of the people involved in the production of the book. involvedeen totally through all the books, actually. themnot the one publishing , i am not the official publisher of the book, but i have been involved in the process all along. way back when she was in the white house and we went down there to persuade her to publish a book which became "it takes a i wase," her first book,

there trying to help convince her to do so. i think i have been involved in every single one of her publications. i'm not the editor, because that's not my core strength, but i watch over the publication and i hope get it rolling, organized, and make sure things are on track. it started also with living history, but in this case making sure all of our best people are working on it. >> we are publishing "hard choices" on june 10. it is her fourth book with us. i was the editor. i was involved at the very beginning with the acquisition, and him overseeing the last of it, working closely with all the people at the company. >> as the editor, is there a lot of e-mails back and forth between you and the author? is that how it's done? >> every case is different, and in this case, i have tried to get just as much attention to secretary clinton's book is all the other authors we publish. i should mention in the same

breath we are also publishing james webb, who is a terrific united states senator, and his book is out right now. i don't want to favor one author over another. book, wee acquire that asked if there was anything that we could do for the book specifically. we brainstormed some ideas. we talked about when the right time to act on those ideas might be. also thinking about the digital product from the very beginning. interface witho the media in partnership with the communication of hillary. >> what is an effective media campaign? where do you go? >> depends on what the book is and it depends on what the potential for the book is. there is what i like to think of as top-down campaigns, which begin with national media and

break out from there. hits generate a number of things that sort of create themselves. >> my role with the clinton title has been to work on the marketing side. foras involved a website the book, dedicated to this book, a facebook page, the production of promotional videos, the release of content on the web. my role up till now has been very much the digital marketing role of this particular title. and it has been fun because so many people are watching and so many people care. we toil away to make a lot of videos, but we don't have many that go up on the homepage the day we handed over. that something really fun. >> watch for hillary clinton to appear on "otb" soon to discuss her book, "our choices." coming up next, "the

communicators" with author larry downes, talking about his book the bang disruption" about effect that technology is having on today's business. following a discussion with nsa director mike rogers. andr, the south carolina republican debate. >> c-span. created by america's cable companies 35 years ago and brought to you as a public service by your local cable or satellite provider. >> larry downes, "big bang disruption" is the name of the book. what killed off ran back now he -- rand mc
