mr. perry: it all sounds well and good except you can cut all that completely and, i think you'll show at some point, it won't make a dent. mr. schweikert: those of us on the right who are more conservative, we have our folks who are guilty of this, and heaven know, i see it from our friends on the left, we hold up a shiny object and pretend like this would take care of the fiscal cliff that's no longer very far in the future. it's here. and we say, oh, if we would just adjust this on foreign aid we'd be fine. anyone who says something like that, they don't own a calculator. so the slide next to us right now, you and i were working on this earlier today, i've got to thank you and your staff for your willingness to sit there and geek out with calculators and budgets and actuarial tables. one of the things that's happened is about every three months, i do one of these presentations and if someone were to go back a few years when we did the very first one, parts of these numbers have gotten much w

mr. perry: thank you, madam speaker. i ask unanimous consent that lee days in which to revise and extend their remarks and insert extraneous material into the record on. 6277. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. perry: madam speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. perry: thank you, madam speaker. first, i want to thank the economic development, public buildings and emergcymber titusr working with me on this piece of legislation. the federal assets, sale and transfer act, otherwise known as fasta, was passed in 2016 to create a temporary board of experts to identify federal properties for sale and unfortunately the process has not worked as congress originally envisioned and this bill seeks to remedy that. federal agencies let go of propy don't need and it has become clear the board requires more authority to recommendations. this bill would make a number of reforms to improve the effectiveness of the process, including exte

mr. perry: well, mr. chairman, i thank the kind gentleman from tennessee for averring or implying i'm the reasonable one in the debate here. on behalf of the gentleman from south carolina i urge adoption, i yield the balance. the chair: the gentleman yields. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from pennsylvania. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair the noes have it. the amendment is not -- mr. perry: i request the recorded vote. the chair: the gentleman requests the recorded vote. further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from pennsylvania will be postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment number 29 printed in part b of house report 118-242. for what purpose does the gentleman from pennsylvania seek recognition? mr. perry: i've got an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 29 printed in part b of house report 118-242. offered by mr. perry of pennsylvania. the

mr. perry: thank you, mr. chairman. let's be clear. the gentleman that spoke just before me that rode the train in from new jersey today should have no problem with this amendment because it does nothing to the northeast corridor. however, what it does do, it cuts over $766 million in funding for the national network of the national railroad passenger corporation. i understand that the president has an affinity for passenger rail, especially amtrak. amtrak's 15-year vision released in 2021 mirrors that enthusiasm, plotting oout an ambitious 39 new routes in the next 15 years. the problem is can't be said enough folk here's in washington, we're out of money. we're borrowing money to pay these bills. the behemoth iaha bill contained billions, billions in funding directly for both the northeast corridor, which the good gentleman from new jersey just talked about, but also the national network. this doesn't include billions in dollars going to passenger rail grant and load programs at d.o.t., many of which amtrak has been a

. >> mr. perry, in your research, did you find any differences of service of the black americans in the union versus confederate army, two parts? also, which army first used them? did you find any evidence of that? >> that's a good question. there was service, obviously on both sides, both the union and the confederate. i think it highly more likely that the initial service was on the confederate side because you had many of the slaves that went off with their slave owner to war. i don't personally think it was too long before they took up arms. that might not have been their original attempt but it wasn't long before they took up arms right alongside their slave owner. i think there's excellent examples of valor on both sides, both the union side and confederate side by black soldiers. >> and the second part, then, were there -- how were the black soldiers treated? were the confederates versus the union blacks able to reach officer status? any differences there? >> yeah, there are a number of diffe

that -- mr. perry: thank you, mr. speaker. that all might be well and good but last year the commission's inspector general, not perry, not this congress, the inspector general identified the massive increase in the commission's funding over recent years as a threat to its ability to evaluate grant proposals, measure program performance, and conduct appropriate oversight. meaning this spike in funding threatens to worsen an already tenuous link between funding and success. mr. speaker, these commissions are populated by the politically connected to hand out money to those that are connected to them. that's what they're for. that's what they do. they don't do much else than that and there's certainly no measure -- they're certainly no measure of success. again, i presided over the hearing where we asked them for their metric, their measure of success and again, mr. speaker, it was that they received a lot of applications for grants. and loans. that's your measure -- people want money, that's your measure of success? that's pathe

mr. perry: thank you, mr. chairman. i remind everybody that this is the national defense authorization act. it has to do with the military. if you want to keep spending money and sending money to afghanistan, god bless you, then do it in state and foreign ops, do it in intel, do it somewhere other than in the defense authorization act. this is about the defense of our country, about what's important to us and our military. not spending money in afghanistan that should be spent on troops from the united states. i mean, if you're worried -- yes, you absolutely do want to tie the hands of this commander in chief. he has absolutely no clue what he's doing. he's the one that walked out, walked out of the battle. gave everything to afghanistan. gave everything to the taliban. gave premier weaponry to the number one terrorist organization on the planet. and you want to send them more money? if you want to do that, you can vote for that. but don't do it on the national defense authorization act. people wear the uniform with the

mr. perry: of course i remember it. mr. roy: does the gentleman believe that it is possible for people who have concerns about these things, about the spending, about the ridiculous decision making in this chamber, to want to stand up and be able to say they stand with the people of ukraine in solidarity but don't believe that writing a blank check is in their interest, our interest, or anybody's. mr. perry: that's right. we all want to help but you can't write a check you can't afford. there is no money in your bank account to pay for somebody's house down the street whiefg leaving your house -- leaving your house unpaid for and backdoor open where you know criminals will walk in and take your children out and leaving life threatening drugs on your kitchen table. would you not do that. mr. roy: would the gentleman agree with me, i wanted to lay that foundation about our shared desire to stand in solidarity with people of ukraine. whatever that means in terms of resources, that should be debated. side note, if we ever had a

mr. perry: thank you, mr. chairman. this amendment prohibits the use of funds to take retaliatory actions against states that disagree with the e.p.a. mandate pollutant reduction goals that have been imposed upon them by the e.p.a. importantly, this amendment would not prevent the e.p.a. from working with states to restore things like the chesapeake bay which is what the e.p.a. is supposed to be doing. in 1985, the states in the chesapeake bay region recognized the need to address pollute tans in the bay and through their own initiative came together to conduct cleanup efforts. these states -- state-driven efforts were largely successful. water quality improved almost 50% from 1985 to 2010 without the e.p.a.'s involvement. but in 2010, the e.p.a. seized the state's authority to determine their own method of compliance and threatened to take over the water quality plants. this 2010 power grab known as the chesapeake bay t dl, toe mall maximum daily load, directly contradicts the intent of the clean water act. the clean w

mr. perry: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. countryman, good morning. you started with the administration in september of 2011? is that correct? mr. countryman: i have been a foreign service officer since 1982. i started my current post in 2011. mr. perry: did you have any participation in the negotiation/agreement that we are speaking of, the jcpoa? mr. countryman: i was not a member of the negotiating team. mr. perry: what was your involvement? you are the assistant secretary for the bureau of international security and nonproliferation. i would think that this would fall under the nonproliferation moniker, if you would. what was your duties regarding this program, the negotiations, the deal, etc.? mr. countryman: as you know the negotiating team was small. and worked very well. i provided a couple of my experts for technical support. mr. perry: you are fully aware of what was happening and who was doing it even though you weren't there. you provided experts but you knew when things were happenin

[applause] mr. perry: but, my friends we are a resilient country. you think about who we are. we have been through a civil war. we have been through two world wars. we have been through a great depression and made it through jimmy carter. we will make it through the obama years. we will do this. [applause] the fundamental nature of our country never say knock down, we get back up. we dust ourselves off and we move forward. and you know what? we will do it again. [applause] mr. perry: i want to share some important truths, starting with this truth, we don't have to settle for a world in chaos and america that shrinks from its responsibility. we don't have to apologize for american exceptionalism or western values. we don't have to accept slow growth that leaves behind the middle class and leaves millions of americans out of work. we don't have to settle for crumbling bureaucracies that harm our taxpayers and veterans. we don't have to re-sign ourselves to debt, decay and slow growth. we have the power to m

mr. perry by the way served in the air force. the president took the opportunity to lecture governor perry yesterday. >> mr. perry just got in the presidential race. i think that everybody who runs for president it probably takes them a little bit of time before they start realizing that this isn't like running for governor or running for senator or running for congress. got to be a little more careful about what you say. but i will cut him some slack. he has only been at it for a few days now. >> laura: here is how governor perry respond today. dollars. >> yesterday, the president said i needed to watch what i say. i just want to respond back, if i may, mr. president, actions speak louder than words. my actions as governor are helping to create jobs in this country. the president's actions are killing jobs in this country. it's time to get america working again. >> laura: joining us now from stanford, connecticut with analysis the purveyor of dick morris.com. mr. morris. dick, i'm watching this whole thing unfold. i saw that litt

mr. perry: thank you, mr. chairman. this amendment strikes section 206 and 207 of the underlying bill that restricts the sale of reserved n numbers for profit. or as the underlying bill calls it, n number profiteering. instead of addressing the real pressures and pressing issues facing the aviation industry such as serious staffing shortages, pilots, controllers, employees of the f.a.a., mechanics, etc., that are causing massive delays and cacancellations around the country, congress feels the need to interfere with small business transferring and selling n numbers. what an egregious crime. for those who don't know, n numbers, n, numbers are the clearly marked registration numbers for civil aircraft within the united states. they are transferable and they are reusable. when you see an airplane going by it says n123456 on the tail, that is the n number. when the aircraft identifies itself to air traffic control it says air traffic control this is november 12345 inbound for whatever. currently, small businesses have sprun

mr. perry: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. perry: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. perry: thank you, mr. speaker. i stand today before you in support of h.r. 366, think d.h.s. stop asset and vehicle excess or d.h.s., department of homeland security, save act of 2016. in october of 2015, the d.h.s. inspector genre leased a scathe regular port of the federal protective services management of their vehicle fleet. a report that reads like a laundry list of poor management decisions. the i.g. found that the f.p.s. had more vehicles than officers and officers were thorsed to drive from home to work with government-owned vehicles and actually put more miles on the vehicle driving from home and back to work than they did on the job. among many other thing

mr. perry: and the crime in his town doubled. he could no longer afford the police budget. when one of the latin kings -- actually, a gentleman, one of the residents confronted a person who was a member of the latin kings and said stop selling drugs, trying to sell drugs to my children, and that man pulled out -- the gentleman -- not gentleman. cartel member, illegal alien, pulled out a gun and shot that man right in the head right there in the street. and that -- that started this movement that illegal immigration, it's not even -- immigration is legal. it's not illegal immigration. it's not immigration. this illegal crossing into our country, it's cultural piracy. it's piracy of our country, of our economy, of our safety. a lot of it was, the attention was drawn in a little town in hay severalton, pennsylvania, because of mayor lieu who said i'm not going to stand for it, i don't agree with the federal government's policies, we're going to fight here in our state and thend craziness. of cours

mr. perry: nobody's flying to guantanamo bay for recreating and whatever and would be protesters at some point and of course you won't go there kind of unannounced and exercise some terrorist activity. that's just not going to happen at guantanamo bay so it's shielded by that from the geography and the place that it is. also, i just wanted to say, since you mentioned the military and of course you have a high component of military members in the state and in the area, thank you for your -- you served with your husband as well. we appreciate the -- your sacrifice in that regard. can you talk at all about the costs to local law enforcement, whether it's regarding protests, whether it's being prepared for any eventuality and not have the failure of imagination whether or not one of these individuals would get out or someone would use the facility as a target, can you address that at all? governor haley: you know, we can talk about costs but you can't put a cost on fear. you can't put a cost on wha

mr. perry is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. perry: thank you, mr. speaker. you know, washington, every time that you think you've seen iea all couldn't be surprised, amazed,dy appointed -- disappointed, what have you more than you already are it never fails to deliver. i'm going to talk about a few things this evening. i'm going to start with, i attended i'm a member of the foreign affairs committee and i attended a hearing on the afghan reconstruction after withdrawal, so t left, as you know afghanistan our nation left there in a bit of a hurry. we won't get into that much, but atbout is where we stand at this point because whether or not the american people know it, we're still spending billions of doll afghanistan. we had a hearing today to talk about that. couple billionow at the same time we're spending billions of dollars in aid in afghanistan where the taliban rules we've got a guy named ryan corbit, who has been detained and held in afghanistan wrongly

prayer breakfast in south carolina where 60% of republican voters say they are christian, today mrs. perry wiped tears recalling her grandfather who was a deacon and used biblical references to declare god revealed to her that her husband of 29 years should run for president. >> he felt like he needed to see the burning bush. i said let me tell you something. you may not see that burning bush, but there are people seeing that burning bush for you. >> reporter: governor perry's campaign soared at first but faded after poor debate performances. >> i think the debates have been unfair. i think he's been the recipient of arrows. >> reporter: mrs. perry's tone took on a sharp edge later today, mocking gop candidate herman cain's 999 tax plan. >> when i hear 999, i want to call # 911. >> reporter: and the president. >> someone said it may take 40 years to recover from president obama. if he's re-elected i don't know that 40 years is going to be enough. >> reporter: although anita perry has been first lady longer than anyone in texas history that public life has apparently not made the scrutiny a

mr. perry: thank you, mr. speaker. i once again urge my colleagues to support a good, well thought out, meaningful, useful bill. h.r. 2433. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 24 3? those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i move that the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 2454, the department of homeland security data framework act of 2017 as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 2454 a bill to direct the secretary of homeland security to provide a data framework to provide access for appropriate personnel to law enforcement and other information of the department and for other

mr. perry of pennsylvania. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 838, the gentleman from pennsylvania and member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. perry: ineffective unreliable and dangerous, that's what we are here to talk about this amendment which strikes $28 million to the bureau of ocean management renewable energy program that promotes the administration reckless goal of 30 gigawatts of production by 2030. the expansion of offshore wind is misguided considering offshore winds high levellized cost and significant liability and national defense and threat to endangered ocean wildlife from offshore wind activity. offshore wind activity is one of the most expensive. the information energy estimates that it is $136.51 per megawatt hour which is three times as much as than onshore wind that is more expensive to rely on. the heavy reliance on offshore wind is a contributing factor to united kingdom having one of the highest like t

mr. perry: maybe it is. i sure don't think it is. i certainly don't want my kids taking it. i don't want the government promoting it. , my wholeife we spent life was smoking cessation of tobacco. now we're finally at a place where we've reduced that dramatically and now we're going to tell the rest of the country, let's all start smoking marijuana instead. i don't think this is what the government should be promoting and i think we should have a lot more research before we tell our kids that this is what they should be doing. i yield the balance. mr. harris: i thank the gentleman from pennsylvania. he's right. we do need more research. but the current restriction that is struck, section 509 says that his limitation shall not apply or that federally sponsored clinical trials are being conducted. that's what we need. we need federally sponsored clinical trials. the current section 509 does not stop. now, look, i get it. there are people who want the legalization of marijuana. i get it. but it's as a physician i will tell you, i urge the people who suggest that there are broad

mrs. perrys at it again today speaking at a diner in south carolina she told an unemployed man she shared his pain. mrs. perry said her son was also out of work and added "my son lost his job because of this administration." well, here's tonight's truth. wrong again, mrs. perry. and again not even close. griffin perry did have to give us his job at deutch bank because he's been raising money for his father's campaign and the securities and exchange commission has rules governing political activities. in other words to keep people who may want to get investments in a state pension program like the one in texas from trying to buy political sway through campaign contributions. those rules were tightened effective last year because of shenanigans too many to mention related to the 2008 mortgage mess and broader financial meltdown. griffin perry, the son in question, told abc news recently, he decided to put his career on hold to help his dad. he said it was his choice. so for mrs. perry to say "my s

mr. perry: thanks for taking the time to discuss this for allowing me. and i didn't want you to carry the freight. we didn't get to say everything over the proceedings and it frussthates that our colleagues will say america assassinated general soleimani. you can put a general's rank on a puppy dog or a rabbit or you name it or a car or a truck, this guy is a terrorist, no matter what he is wearing. he is a terrorist from a terrorist state. that is who he is. response i will for the deaths of hundreds, if not thousands of americans and maiming of thousands of americans and when they say this president is starting a war, my goodness, where have you been since 19 . you know when iran punched america in the face. it hasn't stopped. after 40 years of appeasement d you are a great student of history and the results of appeasement leading up to world ar ii was the untold death and miserable deaths of people because of appeasement and tried it with iran. irpe is playing long ball. people are saying th

mrs. perry talking about the rigors of campaigning and what she feels is driving the criticism of her husband. >> this has been a rough month. i don't need to tell you we've been brutalized and beaten up and chewed up in the press. we've been brutalized by our opponents and our party so much of that i think they look at him because of his faith. he's the only true conservative. i truly feel like we are here for that purpose. >> mrs. perry saying god called governor perry to this race saying the husband was happy being governor but she encouraged him to run because she felt washington was lacking leadership. one of perry's rivals former godfather ceo continues his surge in the polls his signature economic plan is drawing increased scrutiny. the 999 proposal would reform the current tax code cutting it down to a 9% personal income tax, 9% corporate tax and 9% national sales tax. the plan is getting mixed reviews with "the washington post" offering this critique -- herman cain will sit down with da

mr. perry: i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 70 printed in part a of house report 118-70, offered by mr. perry of pennsylvania. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 838, the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. perry, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. mr. perry: thank you, mr. chairman. this amendment prohibits the use of funds to take retaliatory actions against states that fall short of the e.p.a. mandate pollution reduction goals. importantly it would not prevent the e.p.a. from working with states to restore the chesapeake bay. for context in 1985, the states in the chesapeake bay region recognized the need to address pollutants in the bay and through their own initiative came together to conduct cleanup iforts. these state driven efforts were largely successful. water quality improved almost 50% from 1985 until 2010. however, in 2010, the e.p.a. seized the states' authority to determine their own

we listened to mr perry. he says it's a shame, but it could be more than a shame, could set up a conflict between the community and law enforcement. i wonder if there's a view that the high incarceration in the area could be viewed as more than a legitimate crackdown on crime? >> some police officers say that is what it is. i mean, the area does have a lot of crime. if you look at the numbers, if you look at all the people stopped and frisked, how many of them are custody, how many end up having charges. in reality, it's a rather meade ochre percentage. people are stopped in the city all the time padded down frisked and released. >> i hear from what you describe about the decision that effect it says to law enforcement that suspicion could be "he looked at me funny." >> as we saw in the case of freddie gray and he took off running. that gave them enough suspicion. in mr perry's case i asked what was the suspicion. he said that he was whispering to a friend in a convenience store a block away and police office

mr. perry: thank you, mr. chairman. i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 70, printed in part b of house report 118-261, offered by mr. perry of pennsylvania. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 838, the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. perry, and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. perry: this amendment prohibits the use of any funds in this act for so-called transit oriented development. a contrary to the claims of proponents of such communities they do not increase ridership on transit lines, rather they just ensure taxpayers subsidize development that would likely happen anyway. moreover, like transit investment generally, they do not create economic growth. instead these communities just subsidize the growth that would likely have occurred naturally. this is a giveaway to developers in large urban areas as most areas do not have the population density to support these

mr. perry: without objection, so ordered. mr. duncan: there is a school, elementary school or middle school, near the naval big, is that correct? governor haley: yes. i talked to someone yesterday and said good luck tomorrow. he said everybody in my area is terrified what could happen. mr. duncan: we're talking about south carolinian mothers and fathers considering sending their children to a school in close proximity to some of the most wanted and dangerous terrorists in the world so thanks for pointing that out. the letter that you and governor brownback sent to ash carter, did y'all get a response on that? governor haley: i'm not aware that we got a response. i will follow up and just confirm that but i am not aware of a response. they've been very -- they handled this very much on their own and have not included us in the process. i have had conversations of governor brownback and i have made it very clear and i want it to be made very clear, any governor that has to deal with this, i will fight for them to make sure it doesn
