there are members of congress who aren't completely and james clapper is pocket representatives adam schiff and walter jones a democrat and republican respectively introduce their own bill in the house earlier this month for save ministration to disclose casualty numbers and civilian deaths when it comes to drone strikes shift called the bill a modest but important measure of transparency and oversight to see shift and jones know that demanding at. numbers is literally the bare minimum congress can do when it comes to of knowledge in human life and the fact that clapper and the obama administration are so afraid of releasing these numbers indicates the civilian casualty count may be far more insidious than media reports indicate as director of amnesty international security and human rights program says quote how many people have to die for congress to take even a small step of toward transparency it's stunning that after all these years we still don't know how many people the obama administration has killed with drones. if our sycophantic congress keeps kowtow ing to people like clapper th

count conducted by the administration but a new bill proposed could change all that representative adam schiff. of california and walter jones of north carolina have introduced a new piece of legislation aimed at bringing greater transparency to the u.s. drone program the bill would require the president to make publicly available an annual report on the use of targeted lethal force outside the united states would also require the cia to release information on whether these were civilians or combatants that are being killed if it passes the government will have have to count strikes retroactively starting from five years ago now while human rights organizations support the bill rep schiff admits that this will not make the drone program go away in fact the congressman is convinced that increasing transparency around the drone program could actually justify it by showing what he called excessive claims of civilian casualties. well we frequently talk about red states and blue states when it comes to elections in this country but there is a political color spectrum outside of the two party system

sincerely, adam schiff, member of congress. i yield back.peaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from new york, mr. maffei for five minutes. mr. maffei: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today in strong opposition of the legislation h.con.res. 96, the budget proposed by the chairman of the budget committee, the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. ryan. unfortunately this year's ryan budget is more of the same recklessness and extreme partisanship we have seen year after year from the house republican leadership. under ryan's plan, middle class families in my district in central new york will pay an average of $2,000 more each year according to the democrats on the house budget committee. once again the ryan budget ends the medicare guarantee as we know it. and would turn medicare instead into a privatized voucher program and shift health care costs to seniors. it threatens to cut off critical investments in job creation and infrastructure. and it slashes education at a time when local school

read between the lines well one of the congressmen who introduced this legislation representative adam schiff has made it clear that he does not hope releasing these numbers will make the program go away in fact he is convinced that increasing transparency around the program could actually justify it by showing that claims of civilian casualties are excessive and what do you make of that argument do you think the numbers will likely show civilian deaths are indeed much lower. hopefully that's the case and i think he has a very very good point. one of the things that i think he's trying to point to as well is that the reason we're using drones or the militaries now calling remote piloted aircraft is because they reduce the costs in terms of a what we're spending in terms of military but be the casualties the united states is taking in operating in these enormously difficult areas i mean one of the statistics i love to focus on is we've been operating in some enormously hostile areas whether it's afghanistan or pakistan or yemen for years now and the number of casualties we've taken in terms of
