the gentleman from arkansas is recognized. mr. womack: thank you, mr. speaker. at this time i'd like to yield two minutes to the distinguished republican whip, mr. scalise of louisiana. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from louisiana is recognized for two minutes. mr. scalise: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to associate myself with the remarks made by my friend from arkansas, mr. womack, who talked about the importance of what we need to do to get back into a position where we can get control over spending. . there are people running around right now trying to pit our nation's defense against balancing the federal budget. and in fact, it's a false choice, mr. speaker, because if you zeroed out the entire department of defense's budget, which i hope no one would embrace, if you zeroed it out, you would still have a deficit. so clearly it's not the department of defense that is the problem. we need a strong national defense. president trump has been rebuilding our military. we need to keep rebuilding our military. we had more men and women, mr. speaker, die

this is an arkansas specific question. walmart is based in arkansas. presumably it is an important interest to have interactions with. have they weighed in on the immigration issue? sen. cotton: walmart uses e-verify, there a good corporate -- they are a good corporate lawyer. or $12 ans are up $11 hour, not just in arkansas that was mandated but around the country as well. i think they would like to see a immigration system that works for our communities in terms of their employment practices, they are a good corporate employer. mark: good. this is a question from the audience, in your tenure in office how have attitudes towards enforcement changed among your colleagues? what i want to focus on is how have republican attitudes changed on the immigration issue? have you seen a shift? because the old line is, the left wants immigration because of the cheap votes and the right wants it for the cheap labor. but it seems there has been more -- the consensus has developed and expanded among republicans more that there's been even those republicans may be us

the gentleman from arkansas is recognized. mr. womack: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman may proceed. mr. womack: mr. speaker, one of the most fundamental duties of congress is to fund the government. i am pleased that after months of uncertainty a budget agreement has been reached thanks to the work of the president, his cabinet, and the congress. this two-year funding deal ends the threat of sequestration and continues to improve our military strength. it doubles down on our commitment to serving and protecting the american people by enhancing the united states defense capabilities and ensuring our courageous troops have the resources they need to deter, fight, and win. it wasn't that long ago, mr. speaker, that our military was in the midst of a readiness crisis. it would be irresponsible, in my strong opinion, to retreat ack to that point. this deal helps us prevent that. the legislation averts a $71 billion cut to defense that would have taken place early next year absent an agreement.

walmart is based in arkansas.do you presumably it's an important interest, have they weighed in on immigration issue? >> walmart is e-verify, they are a good corporate employer. pay a good wage. i think their new wage is up to 11 11 or $12 an hour. not just in arkansas with that was mandated that around the country. they would like to see an immigration system that works for our communities in terms of the employment practices, there a good corporate -- >> good. here's a question from the audience. in your tenure in office how less attitudes towards enforcement change among your colleagues? i would focus out on how have republican members attitudes changed on immigration issue? have you seen a shift? the old line is the left wants immigration because the cheap votes and the right wants it for the cheap labor. it seems like there's been more, the consensus has developed and expanded among republicans more that there's been come even those republicans who may be used to be kind of relaxed and lacks on immigration is

walmart's based in arkansas. have they weighed in on the immigration issue? >> we talked about walmart uses e-verify. they're a good corporate employer. they pay a good wage. i think their new wage is up to 11 or $12 an hour, not just in arkansas but around the country as well. i think they would like to see an immigration system that works for our communities, but in terms of their employment practices, they're a good corporate employer. >> good, good. this is a question from the audience just asking in your tenure in office how has attitudes toward enforcement changed among your colleagues. what i want to focus that maybe on is how have republican members' attitudes changed on the immigration issue? have you seen a shift? the old line is the left wants immigration for the cheap votes and the right wants it for the cheap labor. but the consensus has developed and expanded among republicans more, even those republicans who used kind offend relaxes on the immigration issue have become less so as they've seen the saliency of the issues. >> for a lot of republic

arkansas has not had a super bowl recently. we do hope that we will have a super bowl soon. we don't identify with the same issue but it is important even in a rural state like arkansas that we have truck stops. i want to applaud our general assembly that recognized the need to address this area of sexual trafficking. and that it can happen in the role states as well. so we passed a law at 922 that addressed training for truckers. and it requires any person applying or reapplying for commercial drivers license must complete a human trafficking prevention course. and i think this is a good practice. we signed into law. it is also mandatory for all educators to have annual continuing education for 30 minutes to recognize human trafficking and how to respond to it. you don't want to put burdens on educators and unnecessary mandates. but i think this is helpful to draw attention to the challenge of human trafficking, sex trafficking as well. in these areas that can be utilized for that evil purpose. so one challenge though is the public in general as to making them more aware an

then it moves through arkansas. there's the arkansas line over the big l. so the storm moves up to arkansas and curving around toward far west tennessee. so all of mississippi, the western side of mississippi, rain and more rain and more rain. because once this comes over land, you can see the worst of the water is to the south of the center of the storm, it will change over. this is a colored view. the colors, the redder it is, the heavier the rain. that is all behind. you can see it's beginning to swirl around and come over here, parts of it hitting the florida panhandle. this is all we're in south mississippi, lower alabama, the western panhandle. let's get to adam klotz for a sense of where this is, where they're expecting it to move and when. really slow. >> slow. moving at 5 miles an hour. you said something so important. will this be a category one hurricane or will it be a tropical storm? it won't really matter. the legacy is the water. so one of the factors will be the storm surge. anywhere from 3 to 6 feet. anywhere in this pink color of the louis

we can look at arkansas, for example, and how far we've come in arkansas. we can take rice from 1980 to 2015, rice yield per acre increased by 62%. over the same time the water use associated with growing race degreased by 52%. soil loss decreased and energy use decreased by 32%. none of this would have been possible without the innovation that has come about from the research and technology. ing a research will become more important so we can feed and clothe people on the same land we have today. i guess the question is understanding the challenges that agriculture will have to overcome as the global population grows, what do you see as the most important research areas to focus on in both the short term and long term? >> thank you, senator, for the question. one of the things that we've done with the leadership team with ree is identify what are the primary themes of research and focus and impact and understa influence we need to have for u.s. agriculture. the first is sustainable intensification. this captures a lot of the things you listed. it's the opp
