paul carter has been to denmark to investigate how authorities there are using tech to better understandte part of denmark may not look like it's at the cutting edge of emissions detection and enforcement. but looks can be deceiving. the danish maritime authority, in partnership with the european maritime safety agency, are using drones like this one as the latest weapon to detect and identify ships that are breaching eu regulations on emissions. this aircraft is equipped with a range of detectors and sensors, as well as 360 and infrared cameras, to identify ships and effectively sniff their emissions, by flying through the plume of smoke they leave behind. i am standing on the takeoff and landing zone for the drone that they use here, or rpas, to actually give it its correct term — it's out behind me somewhere finding a ship to sniff, for want of a better term, and i'm not sure if our camera can actually pick it up, but along the horizon there is a yellow band which is actually the pollution that these ships are emitting. if you can imagine what it was like before these regulations came

is probably what notributed to gerald ford winning for the republicans and jimmy carter winning for the democrats. paul served as the chairman of that campaign. they kind of realized that they had set the foundation for the upcoming election in 1980. they had established something. they had thrust ronald reagan into the spotlight. they doubled down. planningthey started for the next campaign. i would say that paul was a giant of politics for nevada. he had made the decision that he wanted to give his personal political papers. some of the first shipments came that included memorandum, correspondence, briefing books, reports, anything that you would have any political office, it would be in those papers. we are in the reading room now, but we will go into the work room. come on through. enough,, interestingly you can see right here, this is a portion of the materials. is ais microfilm, which lot of the constituency correspondence. the stuff that came into the office, they microfilmed everything. pagesns and millions of of correspondence. we have this out right now. you can see the depth of some of this.

father david carterer of the basilica of st. peter and paul in chattanooga and the family. father david carter is a man of strong faith and principled leadership. in our east tennessee community, he serves as the vice chancellor for the diocese of knoxville and was the chaplain at nokville catholic high school until his tenure as director of the basilica began in 2013. he also enjoys the beauty that god has bestowed on the volunteer state leading treks in the great smoky mountains, even outside the house of god, he continues to show his faith serving as chaplain to the parish's trail life group. in my service to east tennessee in this chamber, i often seek guidance from the lord's word and i'm thankful to have father carter as my priest. i pray our nation knows more father carters, those who seek to serve and find christ and the source of truth. i hope that father carter and his guests enjoy their time in this beautiful city. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the chair will entertain up to 15 further reques

surveillance and then on the republican side it's all we hate buys a war and when they go after carter page and paul. metaphor will vote for him here until about trump him self you know trump on the stump when he was the candidate was squatting about being surveilled since he's become president it's only more so and as alex alluded it's a slippery slope the loophole having ben it's ok to surveil people here if they're in touch with people elsewhere and i think we're being a little naive in general because the genie is out of the bottle all this stuff you see in the jason bourne movies we should assume and i think rightfully that there's stuff they're not telling us about what they're doing i don't want to know all the black bag stuff and frankly i feel a little safer because it's out there but you're right about the political hypocrisy and i don't want to disagree too much with alex but i think when when this snowden situation kind of brought itself about i felt the same way as i don't have much to hide so why do i care if i'm being surveilled and also to how it's point i wasn't that surprised i've
