mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, i claim time in opposition to the amendment. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, this amendment -- i yield myself such time as i may consume. this amendment plain and simple would disable 702, our most important national security tool. if passed, any chance of reform through the underlying bill is dead on arrival in the united states senate. we cannot risk 702 collection ending. this chamber cannot be complicit in allowing terrorists to fly under the radar if this amendment kills 702. and i sincerely urge you to oppose the amash amendment and lose the -- and not lose the opportunity to successfully balance national security and civil liberties which is what the underlying bill does. we definitely need to have a move toward more protection of our fourth amendment rights, and a warrant requirement in domestic criminal cases and a requirement that if you're doing a national security investigation and you find that the information is

mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, at this time i'm pleased to yield two minutes to the gentleman from utah, mr. stewart. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. stewart: mr. speaker, before i begin i want to emphasize how dismayed i am by the amount of disinformation being propagated by opponents of section 702. i heard some things over the last couple days and i just wonder how in the world could someone believe that. let me tell you why this amendment must be opposed. under the u.s. rights act, intelligence community would not be able to query the name of a suspected terrorist supported in the united states to see if he's in direct contact with recruiters. it would not be able to query a name in the united states who is approaching people with security clearances to see if that person is part of a foreign espionage network. we would not be able to query the name of a registered owner of a suspicious vehicle in front of the national monument to see if he's in contact with operatives oversee

mr. goodlatte: mr. speaker, at this time i'm pleased to yield one minute to the gentleman from ohio, mr. chabot, a member of the judiciary committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. chabot: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. chairman, for your leadership in ensuring that a number of important reforms to section 702 of the foreign intelligence act were included in this legislation. i rise in support of this modified version of s. 139. while this does not go as far as -- towards reform as the u.s.a. liberty act did, which was passed out of the judiciary committee in november, the reforms that are included help to provide a more adequate balance between protecting our civil liberties and providing the intelligence community and important national -- an important national tool for another six years before its expiration this friday. fisa section 702 is a critical tool used by the intelligence community to protect american citizens from foreign threats and has bee

mr. goodlatte: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: as you all know, the judiciary committee worked diligently for a year on legislation that does two things. one, protect americans' civil liberties by requiring a court order to access section 702 data during domestic criminal investigations, and, two, re-authorize the 702 program which is our nation's most indispensible national security tool. we achieved this by passing the u.s.a. liberty act in the house judiciary committee last year by an overwhelming bipartisan vote which is no easy task. however, we were able to responsely balance civil liberties with national -- responsibly balance civil liberties with national security. it is not perfect and the process getting here was not ideal, but the bill requires for the first time a warrant to access 702 collected communications on u.s. persons in criminal investigations. moreover, in routine criminal cases, when the f.b.i. accesses u.s. person's communications that wer

mr. goodlatte has helped us with that thank you very much. >> thank you for those kind words from the heart we have former congressman rick white from the professional internet caucus i met him in the mid- 1990s and credit is overwhelming and then to have the idea to take that on. because he makes this a success every year. [applause] >> we have another very interesting to talk about internet related issues with the technology they have deployed. so to tell the story of a simple walkie-talkie app from saving lives to driving efficiency in business. they rely on the low for those that were stranded from hurricane harvey was a communication hub for the cajun navy. ceo over six years growing the user base over 1 million also founder of tune and which offers thousands of radio stations on demand 275 million users. we will talk about trying to save lives during emergencies. so welcome. we are delighted to have you with us today. [applause] tell us more about t17. >> it is like a walkie-talkie app you can download that and put it on your phone if you say it is a walkie-talkie but it is about live

mr. goodlatte who was there, he has a proposed bill that's a great starting point. this begins the process. i went over to the hill today, as you indicate, to talk to the hispanic caucus, and then a small group meeting with senator durbin and hoyer. senator cornyn and congressman mccarthy had a great conversation and this will lead eventually to i believe a solution to daca. >> bret: quickly some specifics. what is the president need to see on chain migration to bless the daca deal? stick with the presidencies that we should control the nuclear family, people who qualify to come into the united states as immigrants. if they are married, the wife would come in. if they had minor children, the children would come in but not the parents, not the extended families. that's where he is right now. we can talk about this but that's where he is. >> bret: is it a phase issue? phase one, phase two? how much money is a need for the wall to bless the deal? >> we think roughly 700 miles of additional wall and also to include the fencing that is there. some of it is only barriers

mr. goodlatte. processes where you can have multiple votes on issues that are related and at there is one that's left standing that represents the majority. suggest that there is no reason to play games with government y of services. play games with our employees. with providing key services to the public, and important, stop using almost 700,000 young people and millions of their family employers, their fellow workers as pawns. et's bring the proposals forward. allow an up or down vote. solve this rather than threaten the possibility of wasting money, wasting services, and further frustrating the american public. they deserve better. and this is a simple resolution that was in our capacity this week. the speaker pro tempore: the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from north carolina, ms. foxx, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. we commemorate national school choice week to family's right to select the best school for their children. we're starting the celebration on january 21. americans like

mr. chairman. goodlatte: want to thank you for the participating in such a long discussion. dialogueome real between republicans and democrats. us -- four of us will introduce legislation that i think will resonate with the american people. it will have a broad-based support within the republican conference, it will be a good basis for negotiation with the senate, with the democrats, and we look forward to introducing that. ofwill deal with a lot things. it is so important that we address this issue in a way that, as the speaker of the house has said, we take care of the daca recipients at we also make sure that this does not happen again. that is what our bill will be directed at doing. we will continue to participate in these negotiations with the senate and members of the other party. think. -- thank you. i am one of nine members of congress that actually represents a southern border district. i really appreciated being a part of this meeting. i thought it was productive. i do believe there is broad agreement on these core areas that we do need to negotiate. the four of u

mr. goodlatte, you have been on top of the internet forever and where the cofounder of the caucus in the 90s i believe when i worked on the hill and it seems like now it is possible to do this, but the problem is as you put it there is no revenue model for congress. it is a public serving organization and the prophet edition of this kind of service would be a disaster right think unless they were really strict rules put around it to protect it. do you see this as some pain possibly the technology and data industry might do on behalf of democratic institutions? >> well, yes i guess the short answer, what is realistic, how much can we help? one of the lessons from harvey back to send a mass scale is a self organizing with the right infrastructure and the right rules respond to meet the needs of society in such a wonderful way. of course a free market is based on that principle. not totally with the wicked pda style market for the dissemination and orchestration of that. it's a way outside of my zone of expertise. i know at zello, we are totally satisfied when you see which you've worked on

mr. goodlatte -- gundlache. i think you have a shorter timeframe for the yield.ack with a choice comment from mr. gross, but this is the price of the 10 year note. we always look at yield. francine just did wonderful yield study. 2.3 is the price decline of percent. i arbitrarily picked this on thanksgiving. down goes the price of the yield -- 97.630. right now, we have two wonderful guests with all this news breaking and the president attending the meetings of the world economic forum. we will touch on that with carl weinberg. high frequency economics with francine in london and jonathan krinsky with us. let me begin with you. what is the structure, the technical structure of the 10 year note right now? john: 2.50 was a psychological isel, but i think 2.63, 2.64 a level that is to be watched. 2.64.hy 2.63, john: that was the double top area from 2000 16,017. they are significant until they are broken. it really does open the door toward the 3% threshold. tom: can you go over the fundamentals like mr. gross? let's play the bill gross video from the other day. thi

mr. cotton and goodlatte were focused on enforcement and would poison the chances for a bill the democrats can join, quote, there's no deal those two could forge that could earn the majority in the house or senate if senators cotton and representative goodlatte have -- who have opposed daca all along and basically been strong anti-immigration have veto power over an agreement, everyone know there is won't be an grept. here is greg, indianapolis, indiana, democrats line. caller: yes, i'm going to tell you both of them are losers and this is why. trump should never have been in the office in the first place, but hillary children didn't do the right thing. she should have called him an idiot when he said he's going to build a big, beautiful wall. these measures are bigging big, beautiful tunnels and they up -- they got buildings underground, by the time he get his wall built, they have beautiful tunnels up underneath. so both of them are losers. host: gene from michigan, republican line. caller: hello? host: hi, you're on. caller: i was going to say the democrats lost because they have priori

mr. goodlatte: i want to thank the gentlewoman from judiciary committee. today thousands are rallying in the nation's capital to be part of the march of life and to celebrate hope and compassion for those that do not have a voice and to save the lives of the unborn and yet many millions more have viewed videos of planned parenthood who performed 40% of abortions each year. those videos recorded undercover sadly portray a much darger side of our society. they showed -- danger side of our society. they showed exchange of money for the aborted body parts of babies and instances during the course of an attempted abortion a baby is born intact and then shipped to a lab for the use of its body parts. congress must move immediately to protect any children born alive during the course of a failed abortion. the bill before us today provides that in the case of an abortion or attempted abortion that results in a child born alive, any health care practitioner must exercise the same degree of professional care to preserve the life of the child as he or she would rende

the goodlatte proposal, the mccall proposal has not a single democrat, not a single one. you, mr. president, have made a proposal that in the words of lindsey graham will not get a single democratic vote. it can't pass. but at the same time, the senators from illinois and new jersey and colorado and arizona and south carolina and colorado are painstakingly putting together a proposal where both sides give quite a bit. so there are sprouts of bipartisanship. more than sprouts that could save us from eyeball to eyeball and from a shutdown. my hope is that the president will understand it because the bill that was put together here in the senate was aimed, painstakingly pierced -- pieced together to meet what the president said he needed. protect the dreamers, president trump's full budget request for border security, far more than i would want to do, including funding to build barriers along the southern border, deals with family reunification. they call it chain migration for the dreamers. i know that some have said let's do it for the whole immigration bill. well, then let's talk

mr. chairman, i'd like to publicly thank chairman goodlatte and chairman nunes for the important work on this legislation. as a result of their efforts, the legislation we will consider today will protect the privacy rights of individual americans without hindering the intelligence community ability and identities of our enemies. the value that we place on these duties is reflected by the fact that they are enshrined in the preamble to the constitution, to provide for our common defense, the dedicated men and women of the intelligence community try to defeat our foreign adversaries, whether they are terrorists, hostile foreign states or nuclear proliferators. our constitution tasks each branch of government with constantly working to protect the liberty of every american. with a bill provided for by this rule, the chamber will be considering legislation that will help us better achieve both. the fisa amendments re-authorization act will extend the foreign intelligence surveillance act, or fisa, title 70 -- for six years while increasing oversight of its implementation at every level and

mr. speaker. i come to the house this evening with several of my colleagues, principally to thank judiciary chairman bob goodlatte, oversight chairman trey gowdy, intelligence chairman devin nunes for their tireless pursuit of the truth thravepls four-page memo. i've read it. over 190 of my republican colleagues have read it. some democrats have read it. some have boycotted reading it. and it details circumstances that are deeply troubling to me and that i believe will be deeply troubling to many americans. but this memo encapsulates an entire year of work by these committees, by these committee chairmen and they are to be commended for the excellent job they have done for the professionalism that they've undertaken, and for the stunning facts that they've uncovered that will soon be available for the american people. i'll have more to say on this throughout the hour, mr. speaker, but first i'd like to recognize one of my colleagues in the congress who was one of the first and loudest voices calling for transparency at the highest levels and to the maximum extent possible, i'll yield such time as he may consume t

goodlatte bill doesn't say don't help daca kids. it says here's one way to solve this problem. >> this sort of like a, um, a little dance. okay, mr. chairman, thanks for your bill. i really like it. it has no prospect for success. zero. >> trish: house minority leader nancy pelosi calling a bill that provides protection for dreamers and our bored areas nonstarter. katie is here, and she's calling her and other democrats' bluff. she says they're using the young people as political pawns. katie, welcome. >> good to see you. you survived washington and the cold weather, great to see you back and thawed out. >> trish: the coldest place on earth and i'm told it was 20 degrees warmer on the planet of mars i know how to pick 'em. walk us through why you think they're using young people in this way. >> democrats are always accusing republicans of not just being bad on policy but being bad people. if you aren't for daca or comprehensive immigration reform you don't have any empathy for those brought here illegally by their parents f you look at what was proposed by republicans, in the legislation that was introduced yesterday, what the whi

mr. gaetz: i will not take that full allotment of time, but it's worth repeating the good work that chairman goodlatte has done gowdy and t trey chairman nunes has done, each of these committees has jurisdiction over a component part of the information that is laid out before the american people and given rise to so many concerns about bias, departure from standard practices and the potential, political corrosion of institutions that we have to rely on for an effective democracy. i thank the thousands of people who work in the f.b.i. and department of justice who are patriots and protect us from threats at home and abroad and do a good job in defense of this country. it is not their work we question. it's their work we hope to empower. when you have circumstances where folks at the head shed, where the leading bureaucrats can get decisions, can alter the contents that is shared with the american people, it undermines the work that true law enforcement members are doing and we want to honor that work while at the same time exercising our oversight function to go after the bad conduct and where we find
