mr. keating for yielding to me. he is a very valued member of the foreign affairs committee and once again, he's doing excellent work with this bill. mr. roskam as well. i'm proud to be an original co-sponsor of this bill. i'm grateful for the work that mr. keating has done to shine a light on the challenge of antiquities looting. we hear stories of terrorist sites smashing staff use and it's heartbreaking they're trying to wipe away history. we hear people say, well, this is bad, but shouldn't we focus on stopping violence and killing? well, make no mistake, these practices go hand in hand. it's not a matter of choosing one over the other. before isis extremists pull varize staff use and temples, they sell items on the black market. i have a bill, a law, actually, that's been passed involving these antiquities in syria. this is a funding source for their campaign of terror, so by confronting the problem, we're working to cut off the valuable resource for isis, so as i mention, i'm proud earlier this year the preside

mr. keating: thank you, mr. chairman. i also would like to thank chairman miller from florida for his assistance with this amendment, as well as the gentleman from california, mr. takano. i rise to offer an amendment to h.r. 5620, that would direct health care providers with v.a. affiliation to taken iting education courses -- to taken iting education courses specified to pain -- take continuing education courses specified to pain management -- take continuing education courses specified to pain management. for veterans and our elderly veterans, the number of pain reported escalates dramatically to 50% of reporting chronic pain. and it's even more, almost double that, over 60% of veterans returning from the current conflict in the middle st report some type of chronic pain that needs administration. in fact, this type of malady is the most common medical problem experienced by returning combat veterans in the entire last decade. so it's number one of those reported problems that our veterans from combat are returning home

mr. keating. welcome to bunker hill. ? i won't give up the fight ? ? and you won't give up the fight. ? (whistle blows, crowd cheering) after careful review of the play, we... okay, i got to be honest, we weren't reviewing the play. we were watching clips from matt leblanc's new show, man with a plan. (crowd cheering) you know what? gonna go ahead and give a 15-yard penalty anyway for wearing pants a little too high. first down! (whistle blows) histles) headphones off. everybody line up. from now on, you're gonna hang your backpacks up. and close the door. any questions? leblanc: he's a fish out of water in his own home. he works hard. he's a contractor. his wife runs the household, and he goes out and he's the breadwinner. liza snyder: my character decides that she's gonna go back to work after 13 years of staying home with the kids. i'm going back to work. yay! (halfheartedly): yay. adam's all up for it and supports her in this decision, and he finds out what it's really like at home. (snorts) are you laughing at me? i love you. love you, too. oh, poor bastard. you didn't hang up. i c

mr. keating and i offered this proposal as an amendment to h.r. 5620, the v.a. accountability first and appeals modernization act and it passed with strong, bipartisan support. this amendment has the potential to save thousands of lives by increasing opioid abuse awareness among the nearly 55,000 v.a. health professionals working across the country. i commend my colleagues for supporting our efforts. i thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from new york seek recognition? without objection the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. mrs. maloney: mr. chairman, yesterday's annual report by the census bureau brought some very good news to the american people. last year, for the first time in early two decades, three key economic indicators all moved in the right direction. median household income is up a staggering 5.2%. which translates into over $2,800 a year for the typical american family. while the poverty rate went down by the largest amount or largest one-year drop in recorded history. and the number of

mr. keating, out there in the field. not quite as bad as we thought. guess who's here? >> hi.onth. you have to pay it, geraldo. >> i actually thought of that. i have a new accountant. did than? >> so did you see the trump speech on immigration? >> i thought much more movingly from my point of view was to see him with president pena nieto, to see him presidential and measured and to see him really on par with the world's leader. i thought it was terrific for him. i applauded the substance of his remarks. the tenor of his remarks. i thought that in the battle for the soul of donald trump between me and ann coulter, i thought i was triumphant and the people that she represents is a loser. >> what? that's not what ann coulter thinks. >> and then flash forward three or four hours he gets to arizona and he delivered a speech that could have been a speech he made during the primary. it was way too harsh. it was strident in my view. you know, you know more than anyone, tucker, how politics is a business of arithmetic. you want to add people. i thought the morning in mexico added voter
