mr. hunt, pardon me, a lot of this information was provided at the public hearing by the prior dispensary operator, who made some representations that mr. hunt intended to operate this dispensary for profit, intended to take away the patient services, and make it more of patients going in and out, which he did not intend to do. had mr. hunt had the opportunity to brief the issue and show his plans for the proposed dispensary, it would clearly show it was just a continuation of the same type of business. that at a minimum he would be providing the same type of patient services and, in effect, and actually intended to have the services previously offered. mr. hunt did not have the opportunity to address this issue, and this is the basis for reconsideration. we think, number one, there was investor property rights that belong to the property owner to be operating at this location, that it was clearly never abandoned by mr. hunt, and third, mr. hunt continues to intend to offer the same types of s

mr. hunt suffered because of the error by the zoning administrator. commissioner hwang: thank you. nothing further. commissioner garcia: i will start, because i think mr. hallinan jr., and i mean that respectfully, suggested that the brief they had submitted dealt with the issues, first of the deadline, january 21, 2009 deadline, whether that had been breached and whether the zoning administrator had acted properly when he later -- and all of this has been confused by the fact we have had two letters of determination. it is unfortunate in happened, but it happened. iso i think the board is thoroughly dealt with the issue of whether the deadline had been met, the question about whether they could have -- tracked this. even though they had a threatening letter from public justice, they could have gone ahead and applied and not open their m.c.d. until that threat had been updated. then we got into the issue of even if they were still alive, because of these extraordinary circumstances, the government all action that was beyond their control, did abandonment happened? i think we went to

mr. della hunt for seeking me out being a freshman and letting me take a leadership role which will do a lot of good for fighting crime. as a former prosecutor, it's important to take a close look at what works and what does not work in our criminal justice system. this bipartisan bill will create a commission to study all aspects of our criminal justice system and report back on what we can do better to prevent crime, reduce violence and control costs. this bill will create a bipartisan commission charged with undertaking an 18th-month review of the nation's criminal justice system. the commission will study all areas of the criminal justice system, including federal, state, tribal systems. after conducting the review, the commission will make the recommendations for changes in or continuation of oversight, policies, practices and laws designed to prevent, deter and reduce crime and violence. the proved cost effectiveness and ensure the interests of justice. this bill couldn't come at a better time. every year, congress continues to add more and more laws to our u.s. code, yet we haven'

wherever you're watching us around the world a warm welcome mrs arty it's kevin zero in with the top stories for you this hour and the pentagon is hunting for the sources behind the biggest leak in u.s. military has to.

mr. speaker, i voted in 2001 to go to war in afghanistan, to hunt down al qaeda and to eliminate their threat and i would cast that same vote today in a heartbeat. but what we are doing in afghanistan today is far beyond that original authorization. we are engaged in extensive, expensive nation building in afghanistan and frankly given the level of unemployment and the severe economic situation we face in the united states i'd rather do a little bit more nation building here at home. some in this body have reuse ited to support extending unemployment -- refused to support you extending unemployment benefits for americans because they say we can't afford it. you can't help states avoid laying off teachers, we can't afford to improve our roads and bridges or help more families afford a college education. we're told we can't afford to prevent foreclosures or provide childhood -- prevent childhood -- provide childhood nutrition. we don't have the money to help american working families, but when it comes to supporting a corrupt and incompetent karzai government, we're supposed to be a bottomless

legislation specifically makes it clear that hunting and fishing videos would not be covered by the prohibition. i commend my colleagues -- my colleague from california, mr. gallegly and mr. peters who worked together to produce this bipartisan bill and i urge my colleagues to support this bill and i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. gallegly: i yield myself such time as i may consume. first of all, i would ask unanimous consent that i have a statement from congressman jim moran from virginia be placed in the record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. gallegly: mr. chairman, i want to thank chairman conyers and my good friend subcommittee chairman bobby scott and my ranking member lamar smith for working closely with me to draft the bill that would help put a stop to the sale of animal crush videos while at the same time addressing the first amendment concerns that were raised by the recent supreme court ruling. the district attorney of ventura county, california first brought this issue to my attention back in 1999. he explained that although cr

mr. polis: it should be common sense that with the limited dollars we have in law enforcement, diverting those law enforcement resources to hunt down immigrants detracts from our efforts to combat violent crime. however, believe it or not, some supporters of arizona's new immigration law actual low claim it's a crime-fighting measure. that overlooks a basic point. crime rates have already been falling in arizona for years despite or perhaps in part because of the presence of immigrants. this was once again proven by a recent study conducted by america's voice, which documented the change in violent crime levels in various arizona police your dictions from 2002 through 2009. as you can see, crime is down in arizona. the purple line. in fact, the only jurisdiction in the study was in the part of maricopa county under the jurisdiction of the incompetent sheriff who famously used anti-immigrant policies to advance his political agenda at the expense of keeping his communities safe. from 2002 to 2009, the crime rate in maricopa county increased 58% while the state as a whole averaged a 12% decrease. compare that 58% crime increase

fewer opportunities would be available, many hunting programs would not occur and important fish and wildlife population surveys would not be completed. mr. speaker, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from wyoming reserves the balance of her time. the yom from guam. ms. bordallo: i have no additional requests for time and would inquire of the minority whether they have further speakers. mrs. lummis: i have no further speakers and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from wyoming yields back the balance of her time. the gentlewoman from guam. ms. bordallo: i urge members to support the bill and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the question is, will the house suspend the rules and pass h.r. 4973 as amended? those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from guam seek recognition? ms. bordallo: i move
