the chair recognizes the lady from california, ms. lee, for ive minutes. ms. lee: thank you, mr. speaker. each year during women's history month we pause to commemorate the contribute women have made to this country but we should commemorate women every day. i'm here today in april to amplify the contributions of women of color. particularly african-american women. far too often blood, sweat, and tears shown by women of color goes unrecognized. so many are truly hidden figures. mr. speaker, this morning i want to honor the sacrifices of african-american women made for this country during world war ii. sadly to this day their sacrifices have gone unacknowledged. as the daughter of a world war ii veteran and a korean veteran, i am honored to shed light on a few of the tremendous contributions of african-american women during world war ii. i want to rise to highlight the courageous efforts of more than 800 african-american women from e 6,888 central postal directory battalion, the first all women, all black unit deployed in world war ii. trim,888, its nickname six a, was an all wome

ms. jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: let me thank the gentleman from new jersey for his very careful scrutiny of judge gorsuch and for participating with us tonight. and gives me great privilege to join with the distinguished congresswoman from the district columbia, to be able to what is at late for judge a potential gorsuch to become the ninth member of the united states supreme court. s i do that, allow me to offer a personal note of sympathy to my hometown, to the constable's office of the shooting death of chief clinton greenwood and his family for his tragic death and to acknowledge his service that he has given in many, many ways as a law enforcement officer and attorney committed to the implementation of the law. our sympathy goes to his family and to his colleagues. i also want to acknowledge the tragedy in russia and the loss of life which indicates how close all of us are around the world and that we should be committed to the fight against terrorism wherever it may be. i think that lead me to my a

. >> thank you, ms. lee any more public comments seeing none, i know we have a few comments and then vice chair director heinicke. >> so let's speak to that example whether they're loaded with gps or not the bikes 0 office comes out and back that will not be subject they're not using the arrears; is that correct. >> the right-of-way - their regular bikes so this is the definition of self-service. >> it is interesting to see how this will play out to control how it plays out for the bikes are left at that sort of thing i'm fully in favor of this one question i want to ask about the requirements that relates to the data you do you have a sense i mean too early to know a sense how companies may play in the base in the city eventually. >> it is hard to know how many companies will be interested in the permits we're aware of half a dozen companies that have a bike share model so somewhere in the range of one to 6 not going to be dozens i don't know that but several. >> even if it is several and shows my taxi back

ms. jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: thank you, mr. chairman. good morning to my colleagues an members. good morning to the witnesses. rgive me for my delay, i was just in a meeting dealing with the famine in africa, i think you may have heard of that disastrous occurrence. i thank the chairman for his indulgence as we were trying to deliberate on very disastrous outcome to those individuals that are starving. but i join my chairman in acknowledging both mr. rosenberg and mr. brandon and appreciate very much the service that the a.t.f. and d.e.a. gives. one of my greatest pleasures serving for a good number of years on the judiciary committee was the many men and women in law enforcement on the federal level that i've had to encounter. sometimes in tragic circumstances. i go back on this committee, mr. conyers, which i cannot compete with him and his tenure, but we go back to the waco incident, we go back to the issues with d.e.a. with just enormous drug trafficking cartels when cities seemed to be collapsing. it was the collaboration with the officers that was such great friendship but

police say ms. leeas worried green would take custody of the children so she hired hitmen to kill him. according to the mercury news, the $35 million bail is the largest ever in san mateo county. ms. lee is the heiress to a real estate fortune. her trial is due to begin in september. >>> well, this morning, we're learning more about a fifth person has now died from that terror attack in london more than two weeks ago. it was a 31-year-old woman, a tourist from romania whose boyfriend planned to propose marriage to her on the very day of the attack. investigators say she fell into the tems river when the suspect drove his truck into a crowd of pedestrians on the westminster bridge. three other pedestrians were killed. a police officer was also stabbed to death. the attacker was shot and killed by police. >>> back in this country, the state of iowa is considering a very controversial gun rights measure that would let children under the age of 14 use hand guns. children would still have to be supervised by

ms. jackson lee, to strengthen the will. h.r. 1695 passed the judiciary committee in a show of overwhelming bipartisan support by the vote of 27-1. the register of copyright selection and accountability act is supported by numerous outside groups, including the american conservative union, the afl-cio, council for citizens of government waste, creative futures, m.p.a.a., the gospel music association, the american chemical society, the church music publishesers association and many others. these groups represent only a sampling of the broad support behind this bill and, mr. speaker, as you can tell h.r. 1 of 95 has brought together many groups that people who don't traditionally have similar interests. from creators to labor organizations to conservative groups, the diversity of support behind this legislation speaks to its significance in the copyright industry and our economy as a whole. h.r. 1695 also enjoys the public support of our two former registers of copyright, individuals who filled the very position this bill seek

ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from texas is recognized for two minutes. ms. jackson lee: mr. mcgovern, i thank you. as you were speaking i rushed to the floor because you were making such eloquent and important statements and i wanted to make sure to join you on recognizing that though we're pushing the can down the road, we know what the mind set of the administration is in terms of funding this country. as a member of the budget committee, we received the skinny budget, and to my dismay, it was a budget that harmed and hurt and undermined the governance of this nation. i think it is important to match the affordable care act with the outside needs of living and thriving in this nation. so my houston housing authority has now stopped vouchers for families in section 8 housing for fear of not having the money. they had breaking news two days ago telling those families, don't show up, because we have no money to house you. similar to no money and no room at the end, although zeroing out of the community development dollars which ends our opportunities for parks

ms. jackson lee from texas. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i thank the distinguished lady for her commitment and this very important resolution and the opportunities to meet with her and advocate as she convenes the south sudan and sudan caucus and works as the ranking member on the foreign affairs committee and subcommittee, our chairman, mr. royce and i thank mr. engel, leading the full committee and those who came to the floor, mr. crowley and certainly mr. payne who has a legacy that he is holding in such highest team by his own leadership. i was in south sudan with the late congressman donald payne as the right to return was implemented and the individuals who were fleeing sudan came with exited thers as they -- as they exited the buses that were bringing them in. they clearly were joyful. this was a homecoming. and we look forward to a great recognition of the assets and minerals and various wealth that sudan, south sudan could have to help all of its people and even to try and help those still in darfur, even though in suda

ms. jackson lee. >> thank you very much. and the work you do is mounting and important. and our questions are such that we all need more time. but i am constrained by the time that i have. and so let me try to focus on questions that we can get not only answers but to be instructed as a committee to be as helpful as possible. first i want to be clear that i think the work that the dea and atf does is extremely important. and i think there should be a balance between treatment and enfo but but i think that we would be completely naive to think that the enforcement arm is not important. it will it will be good to get to the point, particularly as it relates to drugs, that would be less important, that we would be diminishing, if you will, the users of the product and the suppliers would come down that is not that is not the case. so let me raise questions to both of you dealing with some of the issues that we're concerned and a and a number of questions that i have. mr. mr. rosenberg, have you looked at the disparities, obviously you're at the -- more or less the top end.

lee. congresswoman from texas. ms. jackson lee: thank you mr. chairman. i hope you all can hear me. thank you to chairman cummings, to chairman conyers, delighted to be able to co-host this with you. delighted to be here with my colleagues, congresswoman lawrence, congressman richmond and as well congressman johnson who is here. a picture show you that probably far away you can't see it two little children, three little children, one would ask the question, what they have in common? but i'm going to ask you, are you a few years older than a preschooler, raise your hands witnesses are you a little bit older than a preschooler? just a little bit. i don't want our member they may be way beyond that. the connection is, and the reason why your testimony is so very important is the disparate treatment that african-american children and children of color begin to get even as preschoolers. one might say from 0 to 3. we have just determined by scientific research that children of color, preschoolers, are more apt to be suspended than any other children. can one believe that? does that begin

strong champion for working people in texas and across our country, representative sheila jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentlelady for her yielding and for her leadership on this special order, and i will take just a moment of your time because i think you have captured the essence of the frustration, not that members of congress have but that the american people have. and so i wanted to make sure that i shared some of the contrasts that we have between what has happened yesterday and the announcement of the administration, mr. trump's tax proposal, which in essence is really a bowl of horror. is a continuation of an ineffective 100 days, and the fear that i have is that it was rushed and put together to meet this really unnecessary standard, unnecessary test of 100 days. one that was so pronounced during mr. trump's campaign in contrast to mr. clinton, mr. bush and mr. obama, the last three presidents that we had as an example. what's in the first 100 days? the first 100 days should be working. you should be working every day, and you should have to account or you should be a

remember the brown m&ms, the david lee roth story, if those are present, you know that contract,not readirders will follow they will crush people. the easter egg role is, the biggest event. if you mess it up it tells you your staff process is broken. they completely messed it up because they are too disorganized and too arrogant and too unprepared to run and easter egg roll, and now they want us to follow them into a military conflict in northeast asia? jeff: julie, is part of this -- again, we are biting off a lot -- is part of that that they just have to get to the staffing level? clearly, state department staffing issues right now. how much more does the white house want to do, and how quickly do you think they are moving on that? julie: i don't want to make too much of the egg roll, although i did do a lot of reporting on it. [laughter] it is an indication of not just a lack of planning and lack of organization -- they got a slow start and did not realize how big of an undertaking it would be, but also an allergy to organization and staffing and process, which is what makes governmen

ms. jackson lee: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, gentlelady for one minute. -- the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. jackson lee: i thank the speaker. i could not leave this place, the most powerful lawmaking body in the world, the season of easter and passover and sacrifice without bringing to the attention of my colleagues that children are dying. the children in syria, suffering from the bombing and the violence of president assad and the chemical attack where children and babies were struggling to breathe. this congress has to act. we must join those who want an infusion of emergency dollars. where is our heart? and the famine needs to end in sub-saharan africa. 60,000 have escaped to kenya and children and women are dying. in the name of our former colleague, the honorable micky leyland, who died in 1989 taking grain to the famine area in sub-sahara africa, we must act now as a founder of the congressional children's caucus myself, i cannot stand here and allow the children

ms. jackson lee will add cleanup. >> let me ask a straightforward question that deals with fixing the immigration laws and allowing individuals to come from out of the shadows and distinguishing individuals who are here opposed to criminals and others who happen to be on status. mr. hodgson, would you support comprehensive immigration reform? >> i've been working on that for 20 years. i worked on the first bill that made it through the house. >> i was probably around at that time. ms. vaughn, would you support comprehensive immigration reform. >> no. i think it makes much more sense -- >> thank you. let me go on to mr. arthur. >> i would probably recommend enforcement of the immigration -- >> would you support comprehensive immigration reform. if you look at the concept of gang of eight, it takes into enforcement. would you support it? >> i would have to look at the particulars of the legislation. >> yes, congresswoman i would support it. >> let me quickly move forward on my questioning. all of us were appalled at the killing of kate stainly and others who have suffered. but if we war to correlat
