mr. miller was about to make his gift, and they asked him, given his experience at brookings, what should a place like the miller center do? and his fingerprints are all over the blueprints for this organization. and more than fingerprints, we actually have photographic evidence. one of the first things we did at the miller center was an oral history of the ford adnistration. and i hope we can pull the picture up. we can't. well, as you're walking out the the event space later today, when you walk down the hallway, there's a picture you'll see a young -- cheney and a young don rumsfeld and brant scowcroft, for whom there is no photograph for evidence of him ever having been young and standing next to brant scowcroft is lauren henry in the front row? this was the ford oral history. it got us in the business of doing oral histories. so, lauren, thank you for joining us today. there it is. lauren is in the first row right next. father right there in the first row, all the way on the right next to brant scowcroft, sharing the lead, though, he's 102. so a few years he'll have the experience ru

mr. miller: his family says he's a man of innate faith and the goodness of humankind. like all of us, he has a family who loves him dearly and friends whose lives are richer because of him. on october 7, keith was more than 240 kidnapped by hamas. he's more than 100 hostages still being held captive in gaza and enduring unthinkable trauma. i stand to demand hamas release keith immediately along with all the remaining hostages. israel has proven its willingness to pause the fighting for hostages to be returned home. nonetheless, hamas continues to hold more than 100 hostages taken during its despicable acts on october 7. eight of them believed to be americans. it's time to bring keith home. it's time to bring all of them home. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. >> mr. speaker, t

mrs. miller-meeks: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, madam chair of energy and commerce, mcmorris rodgers. i rise today in support of h.r. 485, the protecting health care for all patients act. quality adjusted life years, or qalys, are a metric used to assign a dollar value on someone's life and ration health care treatment and service, discriminating against those with disabilities. this isn't the first time we heard this. i remember a former president advocating for the affordable care act said, well, if someone has a broken hip and they are elderly, they are just going to have to deal with it. current law prevents the secretary of health and human services from using qalys in medicare, specifically in a manner that treats extending the life of an elderly, disabled, or terminally ill individual as a lower value. this legislation simply extends the qalys prohibition to other federal health care programs not included under current law. and as a doctor, it's outrageous for government bureaucrats to determine whether a person's

amna: jason miller in response to some of the coverage around mr.omments said, democrat and media pearl-clutchers seem to have forgotten that we had four years of peace and prosperity under president trump, but europe saw death and destruction under obama-biden and now more death and destruction under biden. when you don't pay your defense spending, you can't be surprised that you get more war. his claim is basically because president trump publicly pressured people to increase defense spending the world was safer. what do you make of that? >> there are several things wrapped up their. we have to pull them apart. the first thing is that he is right, european allies need to spend more on defense. every u.s. president i have worked with since reagan has said european allies need to do more on defense. president trump was more direct about it and forceful about it and allies did spend more on defense under his watch, but they spent even more under president biden and it is not because of biden, it is because of putin, who launched a war in europe the l
