low incomes. most of them are threatened by illness, medical expenses that they cannot afford. through this new law, mr. president, every senator will be able to ensure himself against the ravages of illness in his old age. this will help pay for care in hospitals, nursing homes, or in the home. under a separate plan, it will help meet the fees of the doctors. here is how the plan will affect you. during your working years, the people of america, you will contribute through the social security program each payday. for example, the average worker in 1966 will contribute about $1.50 per month. the employer will contribute a similar amount. this will provide the funds to pay up to 90 days of hospital care for each illness, plus diagnostic care. and up to 100 home health visits after year 65. beginning in 1967, you will also be covered for up to 100 days of care in a skilled nursing home after a period of hospital care. under a separate plan, when you are 65, the congress originated itself in its own good judgment, you may be covered for medical and surgical fees whether you are in or out of the hospital.

low with that. our market is oversaturated. mr. president, this morning i introduced yet another white paper out of the energy committee. it's entitled "a turbulent world: in defense of the strategic petroleum reserve." and this white paper outlines some of the history behind the sanspro and why i feel so strongly, and why i will continue to come to this floor to oppose the sale of 101 million barrels of oil from the spro to pay for a portion of this highway bill. let's take a look at the history of when we have had emergency draw-downs. we have had -- drawdowns. we have had exactly three emergency drawdowns ever. the strategic petroleum reserve has been in place since the mid-1970's. we had a drawdown in 1991 with desert storm. we had a drawdown in 2005 with -- when hurricane katrina hit. and then in libya in 2011 during their civil war. so mr. president this red right here is the 101 million barrels that this legislation seeks to sell off -- 101 million barrels. the total amount of sales from emergency drawdowns ever combined is

i think we would agree all of our low-income school districts need and deserve extra help. in conclusion, mr. president education is the cornerstone of the american dream. we need to keep that dream alive and there's no better way than funding education. i know my colleagues believe that. i hope my colleagues will oppose senator burr's amendment to change the title 1 formula without increased support. with that, mr. president, i yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee. mr. alexander: i thank the senator from new york for his remarks. i know how passionately he feels about the amendment from the senator from north carolina, he's made that clear to me on more than one -- on more than one occasion and my hope would be that the senator from new york, the senator from north carolina could have a successful resolution of of that difference of opinion in the next day or two and i'll be glad and i know senator murray will be glad to work with them to try to do that. i hear him loud and clear and i appreciate him coming to the floor and making those statements. mr. schumer:

but for low earth orbit, winged vehicles are very nice and have winged -- and have many advantages as we saw through the shuttle program. mr. posey: thank you, mr. chairman. i yield back. mr. babip: i'd like to recognize the gentleman from virginia, mr. beyer. mr. beyer: on one hand we had three unfortunate losses, on the other hand, it seems the commercial space industry is getting ready to go exponentially. adding great value to our economy and our civilization. new satellites, internet, space tours of mars even. can you help us put these in the proper perspective, especially compared to train and airline and automobile accidents 30,000 deaths last year by the way, nasa tragedies and all the transportation accidents in history, are we looking at the relatively two or three that have come up in the right perspective compared to the last 150 years? >> that's an interesting question. again, i think the positive thing is that in both -- in all three of these cases there's been no loss of life. that says our basic processes and procedures are in place. we protected the public, we protected the launch site, we did the right th

mr. chairman. i appreciate you being here, appreciate your testimony. >> i just wanted to ask you another percentage question. what percentage do you think of low income people -- in fact, all people in the world would be affected by climate change if we do not do something to address it? >> i believe everything 100% are already being affected and will be more severely impacted if we don't take action now. >> and will that impact be felt first, do you believe, by low income people? >> it usually is and in this case it will be, as well. i think that's well known across the world and you're seeing it play out right away. we need to adapt to the change that's already happening. but people in low income areas do not have the kind of wherewithal to be able to adapt that many of us actually enjoy. and so it is up to us to meet our responsibility, not just to them, but to our kids' future and take action. >> we have had a lot of discussion about raw data. could you go into independent review and hoe we review and determine what is valid science to base our regulations on. i do not have scientific training. i am an attorney by profession. i don't think

low. >>> a news conference on an iran nuclear deal took an unexpected turn when the president was questioned about bill cosby. mr. obama said he would not kmnt on the specific case but he did have this to say. >> if you give a come or a man, for that matter, without his or her knowledge a drug and then have sex with that person without consent, that's rape. >> that comment came after a reporter asked about efforts to revoked cosby's medal of freedom awarded in 2002 by then president george w. bush. president obama says there is no way to revoked the medal but last week it was revealed that cosby admitted to giving a woman drugs before sex in a 2005 deposition requested by the "associated press." more than 30 women have accused the comedian of sexual assault, cosby has never been charged. >>> a water war is officially settled. southern california water district will accept more than $21,000 from tom sell electrek. he is accused of using a tanker truck to take water to his ranch. the district says it happened more than a dozen times over two years. >> that is a largest ate to keep green grass going, especially rig

mr. barr. >> chair yellen, welcome back to the committee. i wanted to talk to you a little bit about the low-rate policy that the federal reserve has pursued now for effectively almost a zero short-term interest rate policy, that the federal reserve has pursued for six years. one of the original targets that the fed set to begin raising rates when was an unemployment reached 6.5%. we are well below that target now as you testified, about 5.3% unemployment. i appreciate your testimony that you expect to raise the target federal funds rate by the end of the year. what i want to explore are the reasons that you originally targeted for increasing rates and what it says about issues. what does it say about the unpredictability of fed policy. i appreciate your potestimony tt effective communication desirable. doesn't nakt we're below 6.5% unemployment for a year and a half and you still haven't raised rates, doesn't that undermine the commitment to transparency and the commitment to communication? >> well i want to make clear that the 6.5% was never a target that we said we, we never said we inten
