it does create some long-term good will and does have an economic benefit of it. but the idea is to give the commander on the street some flexibility so that they can get the job done as the jobs arrive and get it done quickly and turn it around so cerp money has been an effective tool and it's enormously popular with the commanders on the ground. i believe one of the problems we have in afghanistan, one of the problems we always had is too many decisions are being made not only on the street, at the pentagon, and not in baghdad, not in kabul, not in kandahar where the commanders are closest to the war front. so for these reasons, mr. chairman, i urge a no vote. the chair: the gentleman yields back his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from vermont. so many as in favor, say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. mr. kingston: mr. chairman, on that i ask for a recorded vote. the chair: a recorded vote is ordered. pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by offered by

does the math -- national academy of sciences weigh in on this? >> yes, it does. but they make the same recommendation that they do for crime labs. in this jurisdiction, we are already more -- already moving the report's recommendations. we are just trying to maintain what we already have. supervisor mirkarimi: this is the carry over. the carryover from this discussion has been, and i remember this vividly, great resistance, law-enforcement side that said not to move the independence. that the medical examiner is quoting the national academy of sciences. i do not know how you bifurcate that thinking. i do not understand. personally, i think that if we are to make this kind of investment, it would have been the perfect move for us to move the crime lab under the rubric of what the national academy of sciences suggested that san francisco should do, in a larger building so that we would be able to start afresh. i think that that would have been the better move. i would have been very happy to see that the day. including the discussion about the crime lab moving in a

but what does it also do? by having diesel emission, it allows us to also save in terms of fuel being used. we all know our dependency currently on foreign oil. so when we consider the ability to be able to reduce the amount of oil that we have to purchase, that individuals are purchasing, that truckers are purchasing, it reduces that cost of our dependence on oil. it reduces the cost of what the end users receive when they're getting the various products. let's talk about safety. when we look at the old trucks, if we can incentivize truckers to be able to upgrade their equipment, which would incrude filters, protection with diesel emissions, oftentimes there's other benefits that they're gaining with those vehicles, so we're also saving lives. i would say any suggestion to this amendment is shortsighted and ill-advised. this is a good working program and the maker of the amendment agrees to that. it garners bipartisan support. i would suggest that to -- suggest to you, mr. chairman, and strongly urge that my

so does the house. the prime minister. >> what we need to do is make sure our welfare reforms are encouraging those people who sit on welfare who could work actually go out to work. what we had under the party opposite, yes, economic growth but 5 million working-age people living on benefits. that's not good enough and we're going to change it. >> mr. andrew bingham. >> thank you, mr. speaker. would the prime minister agree with me that birthing centers in royal areas provide a valuable and irreplaceable service to their local communities and every effort should be made to retain and i and hundreds of my constituents are sending to dar shire county as they consider. what we want to see is maternity choices where they give birth, whether that's a community center or a district general hospital where they have all the paraphernalia. it should be a choice made by them with a gp and others for what's right for their needs. >> this is margaret beckett. >> is the prime minister aware when yesterday bombardier

it does not work. -- entrepreneurs, it does not work. we cannot do with a top-heavy tax code with biases, loopholes, and deductions that people run with. we can do better. we have to reform the tax code. number two, we've got to get the regulatory monkey off our back. [applause] small business folks say they cannot get access to capital because of the ratio requirements these days. other businesses say they will not deploy capital because they cannot figure out health care. they have no idea what it will cost so they're conservative about the future. if we're going to get the economy right, we need regulatory reform. third, the lowest of low hanging fruit is energy independence. for eight presidents going all the way back to richard nixon who stood up and said 34% imported oil is a travesty and we can do better, we will never let it go beyond 37%. then president carter stood up and said 40% imported oil, i will create the department of energy to ensure this never happens again. here we sit today at 60% imported oil. we are saying to ours

miller: one of the changes that does president sound like it does much but it does when you change the word from may to shall. it not only can this fsoc overturn a rule when they think it might affect the safety and soundness of the system, they have to overturn it. they have to overturn it if they think it will put a specific bank out of business. that's not a small change or a high standard, but a very low standard and one that cripples the bill. i yield the balance of my time to mr. frank. mr. frank: if someone had put countrywide out of business we would have been in good shape. a later amendment will require the consumer bureau to submit this kind of information to the financial stability council. so it is not reciprocal. if the consumer bureau has a rule or regulation and has to give this information to the council, but no one else does. one more example how the consumer bureau is not their favorite. the speaker pro tempore: the the gentleman's time has expired. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from north carolina. those in favor say aye. those opposed, n

it does not reappropriate unused funds. it does not restrict availability of funds. and it does not change existing law. in fact, the -- in fact, defense suicide pretchings programs have already been authorized by law. for example, the yellow ribbon program, which helps support national forward and reserve service members and their families. this amendment simply clarifies, simply clarifies the suicide -- that suicide prevention programs which already exist and have already been authorized are a priority and will always remain a priority. so i humbly suggest that no one, no one in good conscience could suggest otherwise. i thank you and yealed back. the chair: does any other member wish to be heard? if not, the chair will rule. the chair finds that this amendment includes language expressing the sense of congress. therefore the amendment constitutes legislation in violation of clause 2 of rule 21. the point of order is sustained and the amendment is not in order. the clerk will read the amendment. the clerk will read the bill. the clerk: page 24, line eight, section

what does that say to you?uest: remarkable continuity about something that is very important in defining this as a people. it does not seem to matter whether we have a democratic or republican president. we are patriotic nonetheless. host: james, pittsburg, republican line. caller: my comment is that you have to poll the younger crowd and they are the strongest and the fastest and most easily -- and it is easier for them to take in all the information they have take in. they are more alterable to become a soldier and not many of them are politically savvy. once they get into the war, they are generally -- most of the men i know that have come back especially from this war and from vietnam, they speak to the fact that they were fighting for its other. host: we will leave it there. guest: that is true. men who have had that experience in war talk about it that way. they also love their country. one of the things we see, it's a hard thing to take polls of soldiers because it's tough to do. but when you do, they ar

the dilemma does not earn money, the government does not generate wealth. we have an obligation to spend this money wisely and we have an obligation to help the businesses of the country and those that build our infrastructure need our help. this amendment addresses that need. the heritage foundation suggests that for every $1 billion the federal construction spending supports, 14,000 workers. then the savings from the suspension of the davis-bacon law for one year would support 163,000 new construction jobs. my amendment addresses this very issue and seeks to boost employment and work for small businesses and small contractors who can compete for smaller government contracts temporarily if the davis-bacon requirements are defunded for one year. i ask that you support this amendment, support small businesses, more efficient spending, more taxpayer money, spreading our limited resources and keeping more american construction workers in a job, a livelihood and a mission to rebuild this america together. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlem

what does that mean, rick?porter: well, jenna, it's been up in orbit since is 1998 circling the globe about 220 miles above the earth's surface, and it's been doing a great job conducting experiments with crews from the u.s. and russia, europe, japan, canada too. but it's only funded through 2020. and it's what come next that's being talked about now, and here's what we're hearing. the space station will be plunged into the pacific ocean. that's the plan. experts say this is pretty standard procedure, that it just can't be left up in orbit, it would eventually fall back to earth anyway, so better to do a guided reentry and make sure it lands in an unpopulated area like out in the middle of the pacific ocean. so that's the deal, that's what will happen unless more money gets allocated towards the program. again, the money runs out in 2020, and plunging it into the pacific is the plan. you mentioned so many changes in the country's space program with the end of the shuttle program and the international space stat

what does that entail? is that literally strapping him down and forcing him to swallow something or injecting him? >> normally what they do is that they will try to convince him to take oral medications. if he does take it, they will ensure he swallows the medications. if he refuses the oral medications, they will give him the injectable. they will use a minimum amount of force in order to hold him down so that he is not a danger to himself or others as he is being injected with this anti-psychotic medication. >> jeff, a lot of people in the health care field have been asking me and talking about this issue. it is a dual-loyalty issue. you are treating him to make him better, but he will stand trial and may get the death penalty as a result. is this a conflict, do you think, for these doctors who are treating him? >> i think the doctors that are treating him in springfield, missouri, at the federal facility there, they are not thinking at this point about trying to get him well to stand trial. what they are

if one of those branches does not fulfill their obligation under the constitution, does that open the door for one of the other branches to step in and fill that void? guest: there is a lot of controversy about this, as well. one question it leads to is whether the judiciary has a potential role in this. i think the general view is if president obama were to conclude that the debt ceiling is unconstitutional or unconstitutional as it is applied in the particular case of right after when a payment is necessary that the court would probably not reviewed that. they could review it later if people who have positions in credit default swaps filed a lawsuit, but possibly not. some people who hold that now could bring a lawsuit trying to get some kind of declaratory or injunctive relief on the court tried to get the court rather than president obama to decide that this is unconstitutional. it will be interesting to see if any lawsuits are filed over the next month. host: republican line from michigan. welcome to the conversation. caller: the debt ceiling is merely like my credit card. you ra

that. >> does it affect the heart? >> exactly, yeses. >> seriously? >> it can. >> people have a tendency towards heart disease and stress will bring it on. >> do you think it plays as much of a role in trouble for the heart as does smoking? stress? >> well, smoke something worse. stress is not probably as bad as that. smoking is the worst for the heart but stress is important. >> are there those who say that stress is as important or more important than smoking in terms of the debilitating impact on the heart? >> it's a different type of stress. i mean, if you're taking constant feeling of being under stress, and the word chronic, if you really have to underscore it, because we're all under stress now and again. if you have a chronic feeling of being stressed, it is bad for the heart because hormones are kicked out. >> does stress constrict the blood vessels? >> yes, it can. you can have people who have constriction of the blood vessels of the heart who have normal ekg's and things like. that. >> how about anger? >> well, we found that depression, soc

the group that does not want to pass any type of measure this week really does not believe that default will happen. there is a gap between what the conventionalal wisdom is and the group of freshman tea party members that thinks it won't. does not believe default is likely to happen. what we have seen as a result of this whole debate is just how far apart the two facts view reality. you can bridge differences in legislation. it is really hard to bridge differences in how people see things. >> so, are we going to go into default on tuesday? >> i think we will. i think he got exactly right what will happen with a few small change it is. they will pass it tonight by a small margin. it will go to the senate and be defeated. democratic and senator leader will offer an alternative that looks similar but will have some softeners for the tea party and liberals so that they can pass it through the senate. and then send it back to the house and say pass it or we default and it will pass on monday. >> so, who are americans blaming for this baffling thing? >> everyone. they will blame republicans

where does that come from?can give you explanation, i can give you the explanations, from the numbers of, numbers of arab countries, although something paradoxical is happening because a lot of the arab governments really want israel to be able to defend itse itself against the rising tide against them, too. i can give you explanations of oil, but i think there's a deeper explanation, because, i've often asked myself this question, it's so obvious that israel is being attacked by terrorists, who are terrorizing, firing rockets into the cities, calling for its annihilation. turn peace into shreds and yet, israel is the one accused when it takes action that any country would take to defend itself. and i think that this has partly to do, also, with some historic historical-- from historical habit, you know? because for thousands of years the jewish people didn't have a state. and we were absolutely helpless. we were the perfect victim. jews were slaughtered, massacred. they were pitied. and we could do no wrong be

>> do i know why jose does what he does? absolutely not. as far as the testimony that was princed today, i they what he was trying to achieve in saying that george was the one who coordinated and then completed the burial ceremony that the family had. but as you heard the testimony i was a family affair. they all took part in it. and the inference that's where casey must have learned this is what you do with a loved one. >> greta: any worry or concern as a lawyer, for cindy? there was discussion outside the hearing of the jury about her -- when she testified she said that she was the one who had done the research on the computer and is she was home from work today. apparently the prosecution had secured some employment records to show that wasn't true. that testimony never got in. nonetheless, there's the possibility the prosecution may go after her for not being truthful on the stand. do you have any fear that is going to happen? >> i'm always the worst-case scenario type of attorney. i'm hopeful the state wouldn't do something like that.
