just to bring you up to the owned the story, division of information by now is the largest p.r. agency inwards. had 500 people. its had more than the office of government reports, more than the office of facts and figures, more than any other b.r. offers in the roosevelt administration. and horton headed the doi for the first half year of the -- in june of 1942 the president decided to merge these information agencies together and created the office of war information. owi. that was the end of horton's run hitch went back to maritime commission, did some p.r. for the department of interior but eventually left government service in 1948. so, it seems to me that his role was a forgotten role, a low-profile role but a role that was canon eyesed by bruce captainon. her had several prices for civil war history us. bruce canton worked for horton and wrote a memorial -- memoir and the book was a vote of gratitudes to robert horton, and and he sayso necessary introduction, said that robert horton was the man he most admires from all the people he interacted with. when he was in the first gover

this was an agency within the officefor emergency information .was headed by fiorello laguardia who wore to, he was the mayor of new york and the head of dbillion defense and so this was an effort to mobilize people that support the civiliandefense effort to be volunteers, to take their place .no that was where eleanor roosevelt was the assistant director of occ under fiorello laguardia and finally i'm going to catalog -- this last poster also came out in the fall of 1941 before pearl harbor and its sort of ambiguous. it says don't let him down. remember, there were no american military in a combat status at thatmoment . so it's a bit ambiguous is it that he's talking about letting them down, but he's trying to mobilize the defense workers in public at large to support the non-war war effort. and in fact, looking back at how roosevelt made, roosevelt sometimes thought the us might be able to win the war without ever having to declare war. he was hoping land lease and military aid be enough to defeat hitler but of course that wasn't the case so tha

access to information about what agencies, like the fbi are doing, is essential to holding them accountable. transparency brings accountability. abuses multiply in secret. that's why congressional oversight, a responsibility of congress under the constitution is key. the recent report of the department of justice's inspector general is a very good example. it describes behavior done in secret at the fbi that simply cannot be defended when brought to light. first, the inspector general's report identified unacceptable messages sent on fbi mobile devices and computer systems by five of the 15 fbi employees on the clinton e-mail investigation. those messages reek with political bias. the report found that through such messages, these employees, and i quote, brought discredit to themselves, sowed doubt about the fbi's handling of the mid year investigation, and impacted the reputation of the fbi, end of quote. one message explicitly suggested a willingness to take official investigative steps for partisan reasons, where there should be no partisanship. that message vowed to stop the election of

information to the press. this is an awesome power, our intelligence agencies keep america's most sensitive secrets. hold highly personal information on every american including you. it is terrifying to think he still has access to any information. he is an out of the closet extremist. this week, he accused donald trump of treason, a death penalty offense. he suggested it would be reasonable for the intelligence agencies to conceal information from the president -- that's a violation of their charter and a violation of federal law. on twitter he routinely makes florida threats addressing his tweets directly to the president like a crazy person. earlier this year he wrote this. you could almost hear his fingers smashing the keyboard, not a stable man. he is a passionate ideologue with a documented history of dishonesty. the cia director he lied about spying on senate staffers and killing civilians with drone strikes. he lied about the steele dossier famously. he prevented the cia from referring to islamic militants as jihadists. if this is not a man who should have security clearance. we called to as

, but in general with russia, that president trump has not taken the serious intelligence information by agenciesled the leaders. he is not looping in his director of national intelligence dan coats. he is not relying on dan coats for how to conduct the meetings. now it is difficult to see what president trump thinks he might gain by an additional meeting with vladimir putin. all of the controversy surrounding the summit in helsinki will make it difficult for trump to conduct the thaw he envisioned in washington. an additional meeting in washington will cause more problems for him domestically and make that goal of reaching that deal with russia more difficult. >> it is similar of his golf game. he takes a mulligan whenever he wants a mulligan. he just re-tees it up. >> let's talk about the polls. we know how trump has been handling the helsinki summit. you break it down by republicans. 68% of republicans approve. that is a big number. you are right to point out his approval among republicans in general is higher than that and approval on the economy is sky high. >> exactly. everything is sunken

because independent agencies are excluded from umra, excluded from regulatory process requirements in executive order 12866 and excluded from review by the office of information and regulatory affairs, few independent agencies conduct cost benefit analyses. in f.y. 2016, independent agencies issued 18 major regulations but only a third of those rules included monetized cost analysis and not one rule included any analysis of onetized benefits. the cost benefit analyses rirmed by umra are essential for a transparent and accountable regulatory system and eliminating section 5 would be inconsistent with the intent of h.r. 50. this bill seeks to close loopholes, not preserve them. i urge members to oppose this amendment and i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentlewoman from new jersey. mrs. watson coleman: mr. chairman, can you tell me how much time i have? the chair: three minutes remaining. mrs. watson coleman: three minutes, good. then i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. watson coleman: thank you so much. supporters of this bill will falsely claim the provision in 50

if you look at the body that is being presented of information, you had agency said they're going to something about it and there were personal texts and things, the optics of this are bad. the fbi needs to work to correct this as rapidly as they can. that should not be allowed to permeate anywhere around an investigation. i give more credit once he saw those, by the way, that wasn't the purpose that these folks were referred to an investigation or maybe conducting themselves in a way that wasn't consistent with fbi rules and regulation. that's why they got referred. they look at the e-mails of the text and said that's a problem and he did something. he removed them from investigation. pretty hard for me as an old fbi guy to say that wasn't the right series of events for all of it to happen. bob is all that information is being said that that influenced the entirety of the investigation. i just don't think they've made the case yet. if they believe it and there's more there, and get on. i mean, i'm willing to listen. i don't think they made their case in that. these are the same grou

information. mind you, those were cases that we know of. that's why earlier this month the trump administration listened to the agency's concerns, contemplated the facts, and did what any sane government should do. it enacted changes that would help the i.r.s. focus on what's important instead of needlessly risking resources and private taxpayer information. and the administration was wise enough to accept the idea that arose out of the obama administration. that's just good government, mr. president. and, yet, if you listen to my democratic colleagues these past few days, you would think that democracy as we know it has been destroyed. you might even think that the i.r.s. and the trump administration have been bought and paid for by this nebulous so-called dark money. the truth is these attacks are just a partisan stunt because even if you believe this intricate weaving of a conspiracy theory, it ignores the plain fact that the i.r.s. actually still has access to donor information if it wants it. nothing is being deleted. instead, election of sensitive taxpayer information will be less common. the i.r.s. is less likely to become a political
