i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. takano: this bipartisan legislaon sponsored by ranking member roe and me and 17 other provide would critically needed relief for onprofit companies that employ blind and disabled workers under the ability one program. . approximately 2,000 blind and disaed americans, including many veterans, are employed under v.a.'s ability one contracts. without this legislation, these nonprofit companiesill likely lose their v.a. contracts because they will lose their awar preference. this bill would only exempt or grandfather the existing ability one v.a. contracts from losing their preference so these employers -- so these employees would keep thei jobs it will not expandhe program. v.a. expands -- spends approximately $27 billion on contracts and government purchase cards for goods and services. of this spending, only about $100 million is spent on contracts with ability one nonprofit businesses. approximately $5 billion is spent on ntract

i yield myself such time as i may consume. mr. speaker, i rise in support ver h.r. 4018, the ellederly offender good conduct time regulation. attorney general bar has repeatedly stated -- barr has repeatedly stated his intent to implement the provisions of the act. our job as legislators in this space is two-fold. first, to conduct oversight to ensure the first step act is responsibly implemented and, two, to address issues in that implementation. one such technical issue is addressed by h.r. 4018. this bill would allow the bureau of prisons to transfer eligible elderly nonviolent offenders from b.o.p. facilities into home confinement when they have reached 60 years of age and served 2/3 of the term of imprisonment to which they were sentenced. this is a bill technical in nature, designed to correct a flaw in the first step act, that will promote fairness in the implementation of good conduct time. as reformed in the fist step act, and ensure our prisons do not become nursing homes. i believe that if we do not ensure this act works

speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized. ms. johnson: i rise in support h.r. 4372, the m.s.i. want toieving act and i thank representative welch for joining me for introducing this to and for his commitment increasing diversity in science, technology, engineering, and or stem fields. this bill was developed based the 2019mmendations in ational academies of science report entitled minority serving institutions, america's underutilized resource for strengthening the stem workforce. . the demographics are changing and we must address the underrepresentation of minority students? stem to keep our work force competitive. as stated in the report, students of color will have direct implication on america's economic growth and national security and global prosperity. the time to act is now. minority-serving institutions have a long record of success in recruiting, retaining and graduating underrepresented students in stem. more is needed to enable the m.s.i.'s to real

so i know you'll come in around 17 stone was yellow it may be even lighter. maybe even later. e a horse kicking back right now. well, our reporter ade adedoyin is in diriah for us ahead of the fight. intersting the question about weight, think it's 2014 you have to go back to when he last fought at 17 stone. postive or negative? he's told us repeatedly in the build up he's told us repeatedly in the build up to this fight that he spent more time in the boxing gym than in the weights room, to work on some of the technical issues that contributed to his defeat against andy ruiz back in may. if he does weigh in under 17 stone tomorrow, that would be his lightest weight since his night professionalfight, nearly lightest weight since his night professional fight, nearly a stone lighter then it when he fought at wembley stadium. it might be an indication of the strategy he plans to employ, it may be quick feet and hands to negate the threats that andy ruiz poses. he scored an upsetting loss in 2001 when he became the happiest democrat heavyweight championship of the world, he's also i

i yield myself such time as i may consume. h.r. is 3 is not perfect, no bill is. but i will support it today because it's our best chance to get moving on the very pressing issue of high prescription drug prices. i hope the senate will work with us in a good-faith manner to come up with a final bill that both lowers prices and preserves incentives for innovation. the concerns and some outstanding questions about the effect of this bill on innovation in the private sector are legitimate. my colleagues have referenced the c.b.o. studies, also the california life science association released a report in october that predicted that h.r. 3 would make drug development particularly challenging for small and emerging companies in california. the amendment i offer today will go a long way toward preserving and supporting biopharmaceutical innovation and that's not an be a strax it. can be measured in jobs, breakthrough cures and even state of the art research facilities. innovation, research and development are the economic life blood of california and particularly san dieg

hearing none, may i have a motion to approve? >> so moved. >> may i have a second? >> second. >> any further discussion or comments? hearing none, all in favor? any opposed? thank you. the motion carries. >> thank you. >> thank you, tiffany. item c, requesting modification to the existing grant agreement with bayview-hunters point multipurpose senior services for the provision of community services at rosa parks for an additional amount of $131,975 for a new grant in the amount of $561,003 plus a 10% contingency for a total amount not to exceed $617,103. thank you. welcome, rick appleby. >> good morning, commissioners, and executive director mcspadden. my name is rick appleby. we're happy to request this funding for rosa parks to help them with some support services that they've been needing for a while. as you've read, they'll be adding a front desk person. they'll be continuing the jo janitorial services there. this take place at their center that provides community services, that includes arts and crafts, computer classes, health education, the usual community se

>> no, he did not. >> may i add something there? >> no, you may not. >> are you going to let him answer? >> no. no! >> the time is the questioner's and he can ask the questions any way he wants. when you ask questions, you will be able to. >> in fairness here, president trump talks about very bad people. >> mr. castor, let me finish. let me ask you this, sir. sir, there were two lawyers mentioned on the call, mr. -- we've heard testimony already. mr. trump said to president zelensky that he should speak to two people, his personal lawyer, rudy giuliani, and the attorney general barr, correct? >> yep. >> immediately after this call memorandum was released, isn't it the case that attorney general barr and the department of justice issued a statement about his role in all this? >>. >> he did. >> let's put up the statement. slide 13, please. t from the department of justice. the president has not spoken with the attorney general about having ukraine investigate anything related to former vice president biden or his son. the president has

i would just take a moment, if i may, also, mr. speaker, to thank from oklahoma, the distinguished mr. cole. he's -- when i came to who i hoped to meet, dedicated essional, not only to this institution but to this country and i'm grateful or his leadership and for his friendship. during consideration of this resolution, mr. speaker, all time yielded is for the purposes debate only. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and .xtend their remarks the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. morelle: mr. speaker, on monday, the rules committee met and reported a rule, house for ution 765, providing consideration of the senate amendment to h.r. 1158 and the h.r. 1865, ment to which will fund the federal government through the fiscal 2020. for each measure, the rule provides for one hour of debate equally divided and controlled the chair and ranking member of the committee on appropriations. he rule also self-executes a manager's amendment from chairwoman lowey to h.r. 1865. chair of rovides

and i missed any of the i mean so i may. have even what i did 30. mr dialysis. president abdel fattah el-sisi presents himself as egypt savior as the only man able to impose order in his country. there is this thing the smell of tear gas blood and bullets. start to talk to it out all over and then tank health donovan johnny. man fashion with with us now a little step from that that will be more. despite his human rights record western leaders have embraced l.c.c. as a strategic and commercial partner so they printed clearly little question so that i may think i ma. c.c. was able to say there's the threat from isis you want to defeat it give us the tools and we'll take care of this for you. we have a fantastic relationship with egypt and we appreciate what you're doing but israel's sisi really such a good bargain for the west. in april 2800 egyptian president of the fatah el-sisi secured a 2nd time in office after winning 97 percent of the vote yet the results were hardly surprising. there were technically 2 candidates but the other candidate was the most optimis

pallone: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized -- the chair: the gentleman is recognized, without objection. mr. pallone: thank you, mr. chairman. this week we'll fulfill a promise we made to the american people to make prescription drugs more affordable. no american should be forced into choosing between putting food on the table for their family and taking a life-saving drug. but all too often that is exactly what is happening. the american people are getting ripped off because drug companies have a monopoly on their drugs until generics come to market. they can charge americans whatever they want and they do. h.r. 3, the elijah e. cummings lower drug cost now act, finally gives the federal government the power to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for the american people. other countries negotiate with pharmaceutical companies and prices in those countries are four, five, or 10 times less to for the exact same drugs. this simply isn't fair. the american people are rightf

if i may. >> yes, certainly. >> you have to bear with me because i have a number of them here. first of all on the call, tim morrison, general kellogg have a different view of the call than lieutenant colonel vindman and jennifer williams. going to the point that the call is ambiguous, so that's the first thing. timrs morrison testified that h went to the national security counsel lawyers foron a very different reason. he did not say he went to the nsc lawyers because he was concerned about thens call. he went to the national security lawyers for two reasons. number one, they weren't on the call. we wanted to update them about it. number two, he was concerned about leaks. and he was concerned that if his call leaked out, how it would play in washington's polarized environment, which is exactly what we have here. he was also concerned if the call leaked, that it might affect bipartisan support in congress. you know, issues of ukraine have traditionally been one of the few issues where republicans and democrats share interest. the third reason he didn't want the ukrainians to get

rules to cover and it only be more rapid that the change occurs where i. may just agree is i think that trade has been good for the workers but we have been deficient in training them to deal with the change that is the technological change and that is we are remiss in that and that is going to happen more rapidly you know i used to go on the floor of out of company and it looked like new york 5th avenue it christmas time i mean you could barely get through today you go and it's quiet there are 3 people in long smocks and buffers on their shoes they tell you to walk in a roadblock absolutely what is all done electronically we have 7000000 jobs in the united states that are un filled that are looking for trained workers i'm not talking about a college degree i'm talking about 25 weeks of training and we should be posting all the open jobs the salaries and providing a stipend to get you from where you lose your job to where there is a job that you want and then a stipend for the 25 weeks and the company that needs you would pay you it would pay for itself becaus

if i may appeal to your conscience and the conscience of the people of zimbabwe who would think like ills that i am willing to use. i am actually willing to be at work, but the situation is that i cannot afford to be at work. how hard is it for you as a doctor to know that there are very sick 0k. if i may appeal to your conscience and the conscience of the people of zimbabwe who would think like that, i have some special skills that i am willing to use. i am actually willing to be at work, but the situation is that i cannot afford to be at work. how hard is it for you as a doctor to know that there are very sick patients in that building behind you, but you feel you cannot go in and treat them? how hard is that for you? it's very hard and very heartbreaking. as doctors, we actually have our patients at heart. and this is what we're doing, we are actually advocating for the patients. what is happening to all the sick people? what is happening to the sick people in zimbabwe that patients are dying. people are dying. and, i mean, avoidable deaths because of the current situation. the hea

even a though i may knock on the door, i may not get to the right person. that's just a simple regulation that hopefully is able to be removed because we're able to get to the right people, understand that. get the mentors in place so question grow so that question hire more people, change the economy. get more people to work. that would truly benefit which with these programs i believe were established for to begin with is to help the minority small businesses be able to access federal contracts. president trump: ok. good. thank you. >> thank you. >> brian. >> mr. president. mr. vice president, thank you for the opportunity and your time today. i appreciate it very much. ryan newby from laverne, oklahoma. represent small community bank in the oklahoma panhandle. i say small. $58 million -- $28 million in loans. we like a lot of other banks in oklahoma got out of the mortgage lending business with the complains red tape that we were strog deal with. 40% of the banks in oklahoma got out of the mortgage lending business at that time. and with your deregulatio

just a few points in rebuttal if i may. first of all i take issue with mr. ladin's characterization and we have made clear in our breathing as well we are not saying there could never be a plaintiff who could be within the zone of interest of this restriction or numerous other restrictions in appropriations act or they want to go to judge collins or question about the plaintiff's characterization of their claim as one that does not rest on section 8005. don't think it's fair or accurate in light of the way the claims have actually been addressed and the way was representative from the district court into this court. the idea that congress silently merely by enacting an appropriations statute for dhs with a lower amount of funding for that agency that was requested somehow implicitly prohibits the use of the statutory transfer authority in dod's own appropriations statute in a consolidated appropriations act itself expressly preserves boggles the mind to this idea that congress can somehow acted in a way that contradicts its express statutory terms does not m

i think-i may do a little more -- i may do more research before i jump in. society as a whole, if enough of us trust a particular website or optical company, then--- or a particular company, that builds on itself and works out. if enough of us do not trust it or question whether we should engage, then that particular entity or company will not do as well. at some point they will fall apart because there is lack of trust. it so most development of a brand. there are some brands that are so strong, everybody wants to buy from them. they have become a trusted entity. i'm not going to say any brands because i will get in trouble. there are brands that are strong and produce great cars or great financial results, they are a productive. we buy stuff and there always deliver. there are some companies i'm impressed with. ups is one, i have to have a shout out at you psp i'm amazed at the efficiencies of their operation. >> these days we fear hear a lot about--- these days we hear a lot about fake news. dr. dean: that is the bubble i'm worried about. that is the bubb

about my part and i may. be able to make it transmutes or i will get this across the country. in your need for the ready yet. to give me my job. so one of the best company in the world. a few kilometers away from office now lives with his parents after super he went to the to study engineering but now he's chosen a different career paths. he did in the dark and would be. came getting me who had to do with us that there. may be indian good in him about god and the saying just needs a podium and a logo on them enduring love but short notice them down meeting 2 of the i don't have to go that are to me didn't you could try to go to. our dividend live maybe tell cuz i had. this here i don't want to miss him but the economics make the. noise about a bit. to do as it was given that he did the economics to me image i was give up going to new made the deal has to be a tuesday may cause i'll be missing it it says hello i'm a mother the inverted to mrs gentle is that. as that. lady. friends were. literally that's what it says that i know that says my loving family. or you know what that

i mean we have first hand information on the may 23rd meeting in the oval office. we have a lot of firsthand term although conflict on the july 10th meeting. there are episodes, i think, during the course of this investigation that we haven't been able to at least get everyone's account. but, the investigation hasn't been able to reveal, you know, firsthand evidence relating to the president other than the call transcript. >> i think we've already talked about this, ambassador sondland would presume things. assume things. and form opinions based on what other people told him and then he would use those as firsthand, is that correct? >> you know, it started with his role with the ukraine portfolio. a lot of people at the state department were wondering why the ambassador to the eu was so engaged in issues related to the ukraine. you know, there are answers for that. ukraine is an asp praspira nt t temp u. he said the president has given me a lot of assignments. the president assigned me ukraine. in his deposition he conceded he was, in fact, spinning. that the presid

and if i had the answer i may not be sitting here. but i think some people who are loyalists to sanders have been loyal to him for years, and they also don't have to take their cues from media or reporters as great as this show is, as great as our reporting it. there are years from bernie sanders speeches on it floor from when he was in vermont, from when he was burlington as mayor, and people can see for themselves what he's been saying all the time which feeds into the idea of authenticity. other candidates who are newer if you're not andrew yang and catching fire online and sort of leading into it, you're going to have a hard time building it when there's other candidates. how the democratic establishment captures this and if it is sanders how they sort of combine their interests in defeating trump with sanders. i think it's going to be perhaps a fight for the soul of the party in a way we haven't seen in many years. >> the democratic establishment might not know quite what to do, and you saw. thank you both for joining us. >>> up n

i do not have too many constraints. some of you who know me may know that. as harold said, i am from jefferson city nearby here, jefferson city, tennessee. i started my academic career at nelson mary, a black school before integration. my grandfather was the principal. so i like to point that out. in the third grade they integrated the school system so i went to the integrated school. i was the last class to graduate from our small high school. that's a picture of my early years. i went to the university of tennessee. got my undergraduate degree. i co-oped at alcoa aluminum. and then ibm hired me into development. i worked there 10 years on what became of the ibm pc and related technology for the first 10 years of its life. so i have just over 40 patents and most of those are tied to the work we did on the idea pc. it was called the isa system bus. the thing that defined pc compatibility for 15 years. i will talk more about that. we were actually surprised at how long that existed. we do not expect that we would set the standards to that level. as harold said

or did just happened, if i may ask you? terests as a child, and the things i wanted to do were quite odd, i wanted to be a telecommunications expert, i want to be an airline pilot and a psychotherapist. but i think it is best i ended up doing journalism for everyone‘s sake. same as me, i wanted to be an astronaut, an army officer, as scientist and an economist. and it all rolled into the amazingly intellectual actor that i have become. applause. you definitely made the right choice. let me ask you a bit about your early career. was there one role that you felt really defined you as an actor early on, and gave you recognition? when you start off, one of the main roles, at least during my time, it was to play a madman, play a guy who is crazy and you always think as an actor, that is the thing i want to do. you all want to bejoker from batman, you want to be jack nicholson from the shining, yeah, you want to be mr prem chopra, from a lot of the films, or gabbar singh at least. so there were these moments that you had. i was to

if i may, i just want to add one item on the gao report and the expert nature. i think, i hope that this court, i like to express outrage for you. notice of the gao opinion never even mentions, not even mentions the determination by judge gilliam and this court about the legal issues here. i am just astonished that a federal agency would purports to describe them meaning of a statutory provision without even mentioning recent decisions by judges. the sound of interest test, i think what we would like the court to do, and again we cited in our brief, as i believe that judge bork provided a very good discussion and the bracey decision. and i think the court, it's a quite persuasive decision that mr. holtz, i had to urge the court to look bork's words there. oh, and one of the thing is, my friend mr. byron who is by the way a phenomenal advocate. i think what i heard the answer to was cheech judge thomas is was no, it's a practical matter, nobody can superior the appropriation clause can be violated at will by the president in such a major and public way. and there

this outfit — i'm really proud to wear it i may monsterfrom outfit — i'm really proud to wear it i mayhas someone standing for the clean cynical association. finally people realise, oh, it is not crazy, he has a message for us. but he worked so hard. my name is more do far, i am the president of clean senegal, and iam here the president of clean senegal, and i am here for zero waste. a hero. the finalfor i am here for zero waste. a hero. the final for many a pigsty was trilogy is having its european premiere in leicester square in london —— final in the trilogy for the star wars series. it has been hotly anticipated all over the world. our reporter was on the red carpet. i'm here with the director of the movie, jj abrams. you had huge success when this verse came back with the force awakens in 2015, what made you think you would try and stop that —— the force awakens. it was an opportunity to finish the story that we, with the force awa ke ns, story that we, with the force awakens, but also with george lucas and a new hope, it was an opportunity to good to pass up and too tempting. how

a decision maker those are facts now then the narrative yes and that can also be cruel same times i may or that they were just cia agents that are that well that they were f.b.i. agents that made mistakes and didn't know the rules need to be getting better each day they're little teacher of the year by having very charitable mistakes ok who really did not have subpoena power horowitz yeah horowitz did not have subpoena power so you're what you're doing right now is your spin you're spinning this because we know that john did has way more power to go deeper and look into the cia look into what's going on in italy with miffs should look this is a story that has all kinds of tentacles apparently in australia. and italy and who else who knows where else so horowitz had lived and i just power and so what we're looking at why why did they go to italy multiple times because there's something that they're looking at that serious and when you have durham and bill bargirl over their food it needs to be investigated now here's the thing here's the thing there's a lot of places to go besides going

something like well i may be very well but $350000000.00 a year was spent i think it may be $600.00 beds but that's the ballpark we're talking about that was spent on management consultants now that figure you'll never get those figures from the department of help because they don't produce those figures well they produce them individually for trusts. that came in from the only comprehensive study done by the university of bristol and the university of bristol in that study also found that right throughout the n.h.s. that wherever management consultants were involved. the they the situation was less efficient than other words management becomes the the the influence of management consultants was negative and destructive and for that the taxpayer pays $100.00 hundreds of millions of pounds and the example of the kind of corporatism. but runs now runs straight through what was a very simple idea that a publicly funded health service would be would come out of the treasury would go to health authorities they would be in a range move with g.p.s. and the costs would be kept down that wasn't r

not be able to enjoy the impunity that we as israelis have enjoyed for decades i may end up arrested and in a prison cell like slobodan milosevic so i should think twice about continuing to participate in these crimes and it's very necessary for peace and justice for israeli generals israeli politicians israeli civil servants and israeli soldiers to know that they could be held accountable for these crimes and we also have to understand the genesis of the situation the reason palestinians resist is because they're under occupation ok because that matter and our act because they're on the blockade so if we stop the israeli crimes and end the israeli occupation then there would be peace there would be no need for palestinians aren't let i'll probably say how to respond before i give the final word to toby cadman robbie save sable any of this month the i.c.c. prosecutor refused to press charges over the deadly 2010 israeli raid on the gaza flotilla and actually called for the investigation to be shut down so can israel really talk about the court being bombed i think and sit. the issue

and while i may be repeating myself, i feel it's important to underscore the fact that compiling these records is complex and lengthy, although i will keep it short, commissioners. the commission office receives 1421 records in the same manner as explained by the sfpd and d.p.a., through gov qa, e-mail phone or fax. the request is entered into the case management section of gov qa where it's given a unique tracking number. it's also entered into the commission's internal tracking system that you mentioned, commissioner elias. but i do have to say that that spreadsheet that you commended, we stole from the sfpd. so they do have that. and it's as robust as ours. as the requests are fulfilled, both gov qa and the database are updated. then a confirmation the request has been received is sent to the requester using the unique tracking number. once opened, the request is reviewed to determine which of the four categoryies under s.b. 1421 is being asked for. and then the search for the records begins. once records have been identified for disclosure, we have to determine which parts of the r

i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. scott: mr. chair, just want to comment about a letter that we received from the american federation of state, county and municipal employees. this letter states in part, and i quote, enactment of h.r. 3 is needed because it directs our government to stand on the side of all americans and protect us from price gouging by directly negotiating for lower prescription drug prices. it creates a new $2,000 out-of-pocket limit on prescription drugs for people on medicare. it reinvests the federal savings and much-needed new medicare benefits such as dental, vision and hearing. the cost of inaction is too high. it is calculated in the suffering of individuals who are forced to ration their medicines or choose between buying medicines or paying for housing and groceries. prescription drug companies must be held accountable, we urge you to send a clear message that congress is on the side of all americans by directing the government to directly negotiate for lower prescription drug proo -- drug p
