the appropriators do their job. senator mikulski, senator cochran and others, they work out their differences. but we simply can't get them voted on on the floor. and people will say, well, why can't you? well, because it requires 0 votes -- well, because it requires 60 votes. you've got to overcome a 60-hoat vurdle in order -- 60-vote hurdle in order to even get to the appropriations. so we haven't voted on a single appropriations before the fiscal year end, which is september 30, coming up this week. no way to run a railroad, much less a government. by the way, the government that has the biggest budget of any government in the world, the government of the greatest nation in the world. we can't even bring these individual spending bills up here for a debate and a vote. it's just wrong. and, again, when you don't do that, what you don't have is the oversight. and i would think both sides would want to have oversight over these agencies and departments. so you understand what's working, what's not working. so that t

lets me make two points about the appropriations process this year. as leader mcconnell said, we passed a tough budget resolution. it said strict preparation's brawl 12 are subcommittees. unfortunately, we are not able to bring those separately to the floor because democrats are insisting on a 60 vote threshold to even consider those. but, please understand and americans should understand that in all of those 12 appropriation bills that have been reported out of the appropriate committee, we meet the budget limits and every single instance. in other words, we do not exceed the limits on spending that we impose in this very tough budget resolution. also, americans should know in terms of fighting what we believe is that egregious executive overreach of this administration, the 12 individual appropriate bills contain writer after writer after writer in a strong statement that we intend to rein in what we view as the illegal action of the overreach of the administration in many of those areas. now, unfortunately, we won't get to those until october, at t

i wish that we were finished all of our appropriations work as an appropriator, i know that that's always the goal of our chairman and our ranking member, i thank congresswomanmber lowey for her leadership and for the optimism she just expressed that as we go forward we'll do so in a timely fashion, maybe long before deless 11, so we'll have removed all doubt in the public's mind that government will work, that it will function as the pope had asked us for the good of the american people. there are important decisions ahead, though, in erms -- in terms of what our priorities are, and the budget should be a statement of our national values and what is important to us should be reflected on how we allocate those resources. . so we have the omnibus bill to deal with. we also have investments in our infrastructure of our country and our transportation. that will be an important bill that we will be debating at the same time, but has a relationship in terms of how we offset, how we pay for that. and then we have the issue, the ex-im bank, a great job creator for our country, and yet still unau

when was the last time we did it in the appropriate appropriate fashion? when was the last time congress passed each individual appropriation bill with instructions on how to spend the money lacks 2005, a decade ago. in the last decade we have added nearly $10 trillion in new debt. it's time to take a stand. i for one have had enough. i have had enough. i'm not going to vote for continuing resolution. a continuing resolution is simply a continuation of the mounting debt. i for one will not do it. a continuing resolution is retrieved. it is announcing your defeat in advance. what we should do is take a stand. we should say to the other side in the senate senate ever acquires a supermajority. what does that mean? 60 votes to pass spending. what would happen? you would have spending that is controversial. they can ask for private donations. good luck on that. he wouldn't fund things being funded that are controversial. what would happen is we would no longer be funding wasteful and duplicate of projects. we listed these a couple of years ago and i think we ha

, that passed the appropriations committee this year. and we did not get cooperation with our friends across the aisle to bring that to the floor for a vote and move it forward in regular order, which is the way the united states senate should operate. now i'd like to pause and yield so my distinguished colleague from the great state of new hampshire, senator kelly ayotte, chos also a big support -- who is also a big supporter of lwcf, and i'm glad senator ayotte has come down to the floor today and is joining me in our fight to make sure we keep lwcf reauthorized. ms. ayotte: thank you, senator daines. i want to thank you for your incredible support for the land and water conservation fund, and i love the picture with your wife. because just like montana, in my home state of new hampshire, there are so many beautiful, beautiful places to hike. the white mountain national forest, places where the land and water conservation fund have made such a difference in giving everyone an opportunity to enjoy the use of our public lands. and in fac

it also goes on to say, quote, the committee anticipates it will be appropriate to raise the target rate for federal funds, for the federal funds rate when it has seen some further improvements in the labor market and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective in the median term. the vote for this policy statement today was 9-1. with inflation hawk, jeffrey lacker of the rich monday fed preferring to see, to raise interest rates. neil, back to you. neil: thank you very much. you heard it right there. we were showing on the right side of the screen how the stock market is responding to all of this. it has been whipsawing within 100-point range right after the announcement, stocks moved up. then they have since easing back a little bit. so they're trying to weigh in on this but again, for those that just tuned in, the federal reserve has opted not to hike interest rates in latest go round. we'll showing you how number of interest rates are faring on all of this but as you're watching continued fox coverage on this the federal reserve has raised some issues th

i think it is totally and completely appropriate.i asked that the rest of my statement be included in the record, let's step up to the plate. let's not point fingers, let's get something done and stop these disasters from happening in the future. >> thank you, we now welcome to the table the administrator. while she is coming in let me share on the basis of arrivals the republican side will be. >> that should be glassman, cardin, and marquis. >> clark is not even here. >> administrator mccarthy give us your opening statement. you have heard a lot of comments being made by others and will give you a chance to respond. >> thank you, good morning. i'm gina mccarthy the administrator of the epa and i thank you for the opportunity to appear today and to discuss the august 5 gold king mine release and subsequent response. this was a tragic and unfortunate incident and epa has taken responsibility to ensure we clean it up appropriately. the epa core mission is to ensure a clue environment and dedicated to continuing to do so. our job is to

appropriate. >> how do you ensure when you make recommendations that these things are done. >> that's a great question. the way the attorney-general is providing support for law enforcement has a continuum of services. they were not the special litigation section. the attorney-general made it clear. it is a necessary tool. we have collaborative tools. the assessment is a public report, where we tell the community, the police department about an independent evaluation. this is working, this is not. and more importantly. here is how you fix it. we provide progress reports to the community saying here is what the department is doing at six months and a year later. we don't have the enforcement, we have the enforcement of public opinion. that we can empower the community to have their own department available. what it should engage in. and to provide reports of the activities and that. in that sense, for a jurisdiction, who wants to transform, reform, it's a great process. for a process, for some agen

the committee deemed it appropriate to wait.fter her remarks, she held a news conference with the press. janet yellen: since the committee met in july, the gains have been solid. the unemployment rate has declined. overall labor market conditions have continued to improve. inflation, however, has lower,ed to run partially reflecting declines in energy prices. what we still expect is the downward pressure on these factors will fade over time. recent global economic and financial developments will likely push further downward pressure on inflation in the near term. these developments may also restrain u.s. activity somewhat, but has not led to a significant change in the committee's outlook for the u.s. economy. the committee continues to anticipate that the first increase in the federal funds when itl be appropriate has seen further improvement in the labor market, and is recently confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective over the medium-term. it remains the case that the committee will determine the timing of t

is that appropriate? >> absolutely. when you think about third-degree murder charges, you don't have intent. they didn't intend to kilt poor kid this happened in december up in the poconos. this is cold. freezing ground. they pack the sand on him. make him run around. they're tackling him. all tackling to the point he false unconscious. jon what is really worse, they call a national fraternity guard. what do they do? on national level, oh, get rid of fraternity stuff. cover it up. change his clothing. they do all of that. finally, finally take him to hospital half an hour away. he can not be revived. that is manslaughter, jon. that is manslaughter. jon: is it appropriate to have this in a criminal court, troy? or should this be a civil case filed by the family? >> well, it is going to be both. i mean both the national fraternity and all the young men involved are going to face a civil lawsuit but, the grand jury here did return a true bill which means an indictment basically on third-degree murder. and li

all of this i did added to my appropriations committee work. but i was first appointed to the ethics committee. and the first black to ever serve on the ethics committee. i later became chairman of that committee. during my chairmanship, we handled the abscam cases where members of congress were seen on national tv stuffing money from a scam operation into their pockets and that type of thing. and it was a nationally recognized scandal. and we handled those abscam cases. i handled the cases involving sex and drugs, involving members of congress and their pages. i handled the investigation of geraldine farrero when she was running as vice president candidate with walter mondale. and a number of other investigations of that type. and so it was a pretty intense period. it was a great deal of national attention drawn to that committee. i was also put on the intelligence committee of the house by speaker tip o'neill. and then later speaker jim wright appointed me as chairman of the intelligence committee. this was at a time when our nation found its

all of us use e-mail, and we want it to be appropriately protected.and many discussions on enhancing privacy focus on a proposal for law enforcement to receive a warrant from a public service provider. criminal search warrants are only available if an investigator can show probable cause that a crime has occurred. the lacking warrant authority, civil investigators enforcing civil rights, environmental, anti-trust and a host of other laws will be left unable to obtain store content of communication providers. as information is increasingly stored electronically, the amount of critical information that is off limits to government regulators and litigators will only increase. efforts to update ecpa can reflect these considerations and ensure appropriate judicial oversight to communications. any proposals to changes should address the ability of civil litigators. the department also has several more technical yet important concerns that we believe merit consideration. although discussions about updating ecpa have often focused on this content information,

and remind everyone that the senate appropriations committee has put forward 12 appropriations billsthat adhere to the republican budget and they reflect the priorities of the american people. you've heard all year that we need to get back to regular order, and that means that we need to bring up and debate each of these 12 bills individually. it is clear after two votes that democratic obstructionism to the defense appropriations bill will prevent us from funding our service men and women. so my colleagues across the aisle are voting against applying the military with the tools to stop isis. they're voting against much-needed upgrades to the missile defense programs, voting against missile defense support to israel. and they're voting against restoring readiness to our military. madam president, the demands on our military are great. the threats we face today as a nation are numerous, complex, and may be the most dangerous in my lifetime. those who also volunteer to defend our nation against these great threats rely on us to meet these obligations as senators. congress is responsibl

i think that would be appropriate. i would like to note that the area where the blowout occurred is in a historic mining district where local groups have intn working with the senate -- with the state of colorado and the epa to address the impacts of acid mine drainage from this and other abandoned mine sites for a number of years. when i was chairman of this committee in 2006, we passed a bipartisan bill that would have promoted the cleanup of these sites by good samaritans in the years since this issue has received very little attention from congress or this committee. but as chairman for the second time, i again look forward to working with my colleagues from colorado and new mexico. and i think that we will this time do what should have been done ten years ago. senator boxer? >> thank you. i want to thank my colleagues so much for coming here today and just, of course, express my strong feelings for this issue. and i know we have a problem in california, a potential problem. and you have experienced it firsthand. f

that's why i believe, or in my view, that the december meeting will be appropriate. because it's a time when the fed members can revise their own outlook next time. >> we've seen the impact on asian economies of capital outflows from emerging economies and the stronger dollar. but what impact do you think this is going to have on japan and maybe the other asian economies longer term? >> first of all, in terms of the impacts on asian involvement, i think that the -- if and when the federal reserve would start normalizing the policy rate, i don't think that the -- we could see the substantial additional impact on the future of the asian economy and fundamental systems. first of all, most of the important factors for the instabilities of asian financial markets are also -- in a sense, all oriented there. such as the fiscal deficit there, or the international deficits or something like that. in addition, i think that the -- according to the document released, the prospect of the rate hike will be much slower than previous cases. so i believe that as a result, i think the

it is no longer appropriate for the fed to be so far away from neutral. jan hatzius is the chief economist at goldman sachs. you have been saying september since june, others have joined your camp. what you you see that so many others do not? an: it is looking at what the committee seems to be communicating at how things are developing relative to that. we switched our call to september from december right after the meeting in june because it seems like the message sent by chair yellen was more of a december baseline message it and then the question was really, did things after that come in stronger than what she expected at that time? the answer to that is no. in our economy, it is fairly close to expectations. environment,ial clearly weaker than those were expecting. that said, pretty clearly, unless our assessment of where she was back then was very wrong, that should not even close a call this week. joe: if the fed looks of the economy right now, let's ignore the market volatility for a moment right if the fed looks of the economy is a severe not ther
