well i was on the phone with congresswoman barbara lee's office today and there may be some statements and letters from members of congress that are there about one hundred one hundred fifty who want to get out of afghanistan in the house of representatives but the rest are are lingering to see what the president wants and he he's a very he's shall we say sphinx like you never know. what his. his plan might be but it seems to me this really enhances the viewpoint of those on the inside who want to make a substantial drawdown of american troops starting this chill live from afghanistan and get all the troops out of iraq by december and then campaign for reelection on having ended two quick meyer's have been put away bin laden and. i don't think he's going to get out of pakistan just politically and i don't see how he does that but he certainly could make a dramatic move now without being accused of being soft on terrorism he could make a dramatic move against the preferences of. the tray a standard triss. and i don't i don't even know what the republicans would have to say about it i th

afghanistan and inofficially, especially when america got involved in libya we started hearing barbara lee and others in his own party saying it is time to get out of libya and afghanistan as well. >> let me tell you phil there is no question it is final to leave afghanistan we went in to do -- time to leave afghanistan we went in there to do something about the taliban we have done all we need to do. time to dust your hands and move on. >>> as far as the president going into the season this week we had ron paul announce he was coming into the race what are you laughing at? >> the numbers they just proliferated and they were all beating people. >> does look like yesterday's news, ron paul, newt gingrich, mitt romney, one person we haven't heard from is sarah palin. >> she has gone totally and completely dark and i think she is probably waiting for something to happen to allow her to surface almost as if our dear friend the man with the hair. >> donald trump. >> absolutely he totally disappeared but then again next week he is supposed to say yes or no. i would guess he is going to say no. >

and now i would like to yield one minute of my remaining time to the gentlewoman from california, barbara lee. mr. lee: thank you very much, mr. -- ms. lee: thank you very much. i want to thank my colleague, congresswoman schakowsky, who has been such a strong leader on sensible and serious deficit reduction efforts. this amendment is very similar to an amendment that i submitted to rules and i want to thank congresswoman schakowsky for continuing to move this forward. because it is just extremely important that the financial statements of the defense department be audited. where are our defense dollars going? we have no idea. sadly the department of defense inspector general and the g.a.o. have documented time and time again the department's inability to answer this very basic question. some of my colleagues may make the argument that the department deaf fence is making so much progress on this -- department of defense is making so much progress on this issue, requiring the records to be audited by september, 2017, but this is too late. billions of dollars are going out of the door each mont

i don't know if they're still here but edmon lee, barbara lui mcdowell, and ru ping wei. ok. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen of the board. i come here tonight to address the issue about the current student assignment system. and as a parent of a second grader going to third and also representing some of the other family at our school, we are in support of the feeder program because we feel that it's really important that we keep that sense of community that we have created for our children in our school and to keep it going forward because i think we feel that by providing that for them going forward that it really helps. the horror stories i've heard from some of the families at our school is that by not getting any of their choices, it leaves them almost nothing for the next school year. so what's going to happen to them? basically we don't want this sort of thing to be repeated next year. they were rather taken by surprise when the school -- school district said, thaw hey, we're not going to implement the feeder program when they were under the impression that it

in february congresswoman barbara lee from california and i introduced the emergency unemployment compensation extension act to provide 14 additional weeks for unemployment compensation for the chronically unemployed so that they can stay afloat during their job search, at least until our recession is over and jobs have returned. the emergency unemployment compensation act would if passed give these hardworking americans a little more time to find a job without having to worry about making ends meet. now, we have to note that receipt of unemployment compensation is continued first on the fact that you lost your job through no fault of your own and that you are actively looking for a job and will accept a reasonable job. so these are conditions of receiving unemployment compensation. unfortunately this compassionate bill has been stalled in committee and the majority of the house has not taken action on it. to make matters worse, just a few weeks ago a new bill has been introduced in the house which will actually weaken the unemployment compensation program, they call it the jobs, opportunity,

i would now like to yield to the distinguished gentlelady from california, barbara lee, 1 1/2 minutes. the chair: the gentlewoman from california is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. ms. lee: thank you very much, madam chair. let me thank the gentleman from for yielding and to -- the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership. this is such an important amendment and such an important debate. no one in this house would ever defend the deplorable actions of colonel gaddafi and the decades that he has spent representing -- excuse me, repressing the libyan people. but no one should fail to recognize that the actions we have taken in libya since march 19 amount to a war. missile strikes, naval attacks, bombing of strategic military targets, all of these actions would be a declaration of war if a foreign country launched such attacks on our soil. congress should have debated this prior to any military actions in libya. while some of us can disagree as to whether or not we should be involved in a military action in libya, we can all agree that we should prevent mission creep or any military e
