mcgovern: mr. speaker, while there is talk of a two-month spending bill to keep the government open before time runs out this week, we have yet to see it. and passing a short-term bill will only postpone a republican shutdown, not stop it. as long as it remains a possibility we need to talk costs to everyday families. closing the government doors this time around means millions and millions of americans may be cut off from their federal food assistance benefits. 45 million americans rely on the supplemental nutrition assistance program, or snap, to help put food on the table. snap is our nation's premiere anti-hunger program, and it is one of the most effective and efficient of any federal programs. 2/3 of all snap recipients are the most vulnerable among us. children, seniors and the disabled. and millions more are working families who may be working one, two or three jobs just to make ends meet and sometimes it's still not enough. snap is a critical program that millions of americans depend on to

mcgovern: page two, line three. yes for what you will see is that this allows the state to choose to establish criteria regarding the participation and its medicaid program. it is institutions, agencies, entities, this is something they have said to us, yes, we would like to have this flexibility. and maximum state flexibility so that they can come in and set these programs, work with these providers. in texas, dr. burgess just give us a great example of when they did the decoupling's in texas -- we know it works. access to care increases when you allow the states that the stats that come from texas are certainly proof of that. you can look at some the faith-based and community clinics that have provided necessary outreach and the way their numbers have increased. nothing to there is stop any of these clinics from doing outreach now. this refers to potential loss of that have aclinics series of health services that you disagree with. the exception that you pointed to is only for a life endangering physical condition

bill clinton rebuked them rejected the mcgovern i checks the jackson wing to great success for himself and became president and was reelected. that wang had been marginalized. the liberal wing of the democratic party which was the liberal white wing of the party went bernie sanders even though he is a democrat so that wang is there but they are focused on economics. there opens on the wall street argument about whether wall street has gotten away with murder and whether they should be reined in and income inequality is the key issue that needs to be dealt with. black lives matter saying no, yes income inequality is important that we need to deal with the dust of these young black people. if you go back and look at the history the vast majority going back 50 or 60 years have been injuring someone by police and in the black community have people feeling absolute frustration over not being able to do anything about it. the black lives matter movement is saying to the mainly white democratic party you cannot bypass this issue by talking about economics. they forced hillary clinton who said

mcgovern. just feel it'si important to state for the record, just so people understand this, that each year planned parenthood offers preventative services to millions of women to screen for cancer and sexually transmitted infections and to prevent unintended pregnancies. one of the 90% of services provided by planned parenthood preventative, deskconscious of this contraceptives, socially transmitted infection testing, and cervical cancer screening. each year, planned parenthood centers provide 400,000 cervical cancer screenings, nearly 500,000 breast cancer screenings. i'm looking at some of the of plannedn behalf parenthood. i have testimony from a woman who says, "when i was 23, i found a lump in my breast. i made an appointment at planned parenthood. it is practitioner found the scheduled a biopsy. the results came back negative. may mutate tohood $200 which was all i could afford. where not for planned parenthood, i would not have had the procedure to keep myself healthy." she goes on and

it was a strong finish for senator mcgovern. he later went on to win the nomination, and we look back at that, and i think the party and media people said iowa was telling us something. it was telling us about the strength of the antiwar movement. as david shuster mentioned in his piece, jimmy carter saw that, came to iowa in '075 and '76 to get a bounce of money and media attention into the primary. it's been going on in both parties since then. every couple of cycles other states flirt with moving into the calendar. getting ahead. leapfrogging them again. why is it important to the state to hold that status. >> well i think part of it is an ego thing. part of it is that i don't thing iowans are trying to surrender this to another state. wherever you start the election of an american selection, you'll have an important political story, a story that people around the world are looking at. you can move this to wyoming, and it would be the same disproportionate out of media coverage. and the same criticism. few states are typical.

mcgovern i associate myself with his remarks. the dramatic thrust seems always to go toward poor women. and that by at least my reasoning allows rich women that have abortions don't have this problem and if we were to just listen to people, i guess we figure that rich women don't have abortions. i think i told a story when i was a child, when a wealthy women got pregnant, it was they would go to europe on vacation for a period of time. well, my question, i guess, to representative blackburn, i have great respect for her legislative skills and passion on this issue it rivals mine on the opposite side, and i appreciate that, but in some counties, miss blackburn, planned parenthooder is the only place for safety net recipients to receive family planning care. and so where do you recommend that they seek treatment if the provider has been expelled from the state's medicaid program? i heard you earlier say that they would go into the system but there's some counties that don't have community health facilities. >> one of the things tha

mcgovern. the truth of the matter is this will provide money to a regime that takes that money and gives it to terrorist groups that target u.s. military personnel and have killed them. and this will increase the likelihood of that, not decrease it. which is -- excuse me i have my time. which is exactly general dempsey's point. and the burden does fall on them. this is not about what's happening in syria right now, it's what's happening in iran and what iran intends to do throughout the middle east against the interests and the people of the united states of america. in 1938, england decided to go to munich and appease hitler. do you know what happened? we had world war ii. winston churchill wrote a book -- i did not give my time, mr. mcgovern i still have my time. he wrote a book called while england slept. john f. kennedy wrote his senior thesis called why england slept. i can't imagine john f. kennedy agreeing to this agreement, knowing what we know from these non-partisan professionals who

mcgovern: mr. speaker, last week i joined a fact-finding delegation to honduras led by the washington office on latin america. we looked at the problem of violence and lack of opportunity in order to understand why families and young people continue to flee the contry. we wanted to learn what the hon curian government and people were doing in response to the problems that confront their country and how the united states might help. we met with families, young people, and community leaders in several marginal and violent communities, including those who ben forfeit from programs -- benefit from programs. they also visited an innovative usaid program. it not only offers programs for young people until a poor and dangerous neighborhood, but brings together community leaders in local institutions to tackle local problems. by strengthening local leaders and groups, and working with trained and vetted local police, crime levels have dropped and new opportunities for youth have been created. for a re hope

mcgovern, for five minutes. mr. mcgovern: i ask unanimous consent to address the house. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. mcgovern: supporting healthy families and strong communities starts with access to healthy food. for many families it's a struggle just to put food on the table. and a growing body of research shows why we should all be concerned with hunger as a health issue. for the 49 million americans who struggle with food insecurity or hunger, access to nutritious food and enough healthy food is a real challenge that can have serious negative health consequences far beyond just a growling stomach. hunger can exacerbate underlying medical conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, and can result in life threatening complications. not only that, hunger can result in more trips to the emergency room and more hospitalizations which only increases health care costs across the board. a recent article in the canadian medical association journal found that households with low food security had 49% higher health care costs than those w

, if you stick to your guns and say yes, we have the plan, we want it, it didn't work for george mcgovern, i'm talking about the context of the time. he said nearly a 40% cut in defense spending budget during the vietnam war when everybody was in vietnam. it didn't work for him. neil: george bush senior said read my lips, no new taxes. george bush, his son was going to be a compassion at conservative. and all of a sudden we had problems with congress and everything but, and bill clinton said middle-class tax cut for all and never materialized. plans and promises are worth the paper they are put on. >> listen, donald trump is winning significantly. ben carson is the only real threat. polling at 30%. that's not 50% or 100%. neil: both are to your point outside the box candidates. >> they're outside the box guys, that's what one of the attractions happens to be. what we want, we don't need any of the political stuff. that's what politicians have done, to your point. they have made us promises. i think the outsiders say we'll do this thing a little different and this is how. it's not going --

jim mcgovern, who are co-chairs of the cystic fibrosis caucus, joined we me in the introduction of this legislation in the house. the national organization for rare disorders, which covers over 75 other organizations, has been a strong supporter of this legislation and i thank them for their work on behalf of the legislation. this bill makes permanent a law that is due to expire, that will allow for individuals with certain debilitating conditions to exempt a small amount of their income gained from participating in medical trials from the supplemental security income or s.s.i. and from medicaid eligibility determination. this exemption removes an important barrier to participating in clinical trials. if it's allowed to expire, patients contributing to vital research could face the difficult decision of either dropping out of the trials always altogether or losing their benefits. if you have ever met with someone with cystic fibrosis or your family, you recognize how small the daily challenges that you face are compared to theirs. i think of nicole flores, who has two children battling
