. >> apologies, mr. duffy, we don't need --. >> no, it's okay. normally as istrator, i sit quietly but tonight there was some issues brought up regarding our department and code issues and i just wanted to address those as well, if you don't mind. >> no, not at all. >> joe duffy, dbi just going back to the beginning of this case, i think we all know what it was anyway, but just some issues that i noticed during when i started researching for tonight's hearing. the original complaint number, 200711850, was received by dbi on the 10th of july, 2007. the inspector at that time, mr. leon, did an inspection of the premises, he met with the building manager, richard leon, of san francisco office lofts. mr. leon said the entire building is office lofts, additional inspection required. that started with our department of housing services and through the investigation it revealed all spaces are approximately 60-plus, research showed only 6 conversions on the 6th floor. the result of that was that housing inspection services actually transferred the case t

mr. duffy: thank you mr. speaker. i rise to offer an amendment for all those around the great lakes. great lakes restoration program is responsible for planning, design and construction of projects to protect and restore the fisheries and aquatic habitat of the great lakes. these projects include restoration of riverside and wetland habitats, construction of fish passages and improving spawning in nursery habitats. a critical part of the program is it requires 35% cost share from a local sponsor, so it's not just federal money it's local money as well to fund this project. this program is widely supported by those with a stake in and on the tpwhrakes, including the great lakes commission, the ilicense of the great lakes, the great lakes fishery commission and the great lakes fishing community. one of my constituents al, a board member of the sport fisherman association shared with me the importance of the program of of he recounted, and i quote new york recent discussions with groups in the great lakes basin sport fis

and i thank mr. duffy. and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. neugebauer: i appreciate the gentleman from wisconsin's work on this. some of the points he made, this is about transparency and why that's important is because this agency, the consumer protection financial bureau is making decisions about the terms of financial products that american families can access to and in many ways, the actions of this agency have been beginning reducing the vaket of some of those financial products and it's important to have these advisory groups and i commend the agency for having those. but it's important for the american people to hear the comments and the discussions that are going on that could inevitably affect the kinds of financial products that they are going to be able to access in the future. the fact that many of the other agencies have to fall under the faca, but this -- because this agency is tucked inside the federal reserve,

mr. duffy: i appreciate the gentleman from yielding.e from america's dairy land, central and northern part of wisconsin and we have a lot of small dairy farms. 300 500, maybe 1,000 acres of small family farms and this death tax when dad dies isn't paid by dad because he's gone but the kids who inherit the farm are the ones who pay that tax. and they end up not being able to pay it so what do they do? they sell to the corporate farm. repealing the death tax is the ability to keep the american family farm and not transfer these farms to the big corporate conglomerates. if you want to stand with the little guy, let's repeal this thing. but it's not just farms. i have a family in my community in wisconsin that employs hundreds of families. they're a manufacture. family-owned business. they asked me not to use their name. but they understand that this tax if two or more of them die at the same time, they can't pay it. and so what they would be forced to do is sell the business, which would more than likely mean they're going to lose these jo
