bill of rights. because all women have a right to equal pay. all women have a right to fair treatment in the workplace. and to economic and retirement security. the women's economic bill of rights is about standing up in congress to make sure that we strengthen our commitment to advancing women's economic security for current and future generations. i encourage all of my colleagues to join me in co-sponsoring this resolution because we know that when women succeed, america succeeds. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from maryland rise? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. harris: mr. speaker, our economy continues to struggle and that means hard working americans are struggling. far too many americans are having trouble making ends meet and government overreach is only making things worse. and the worst example of this overreach is the president's deeply flawed health care law. we just had obamacare's fourth an

bill: yeah.if this doesn't can work out. why not do it already? what are you waiting on? >> did you say her or him? bill: her. >> well, we're going to hold her in contempt no matter what, but that's a separate issue. that's because she won't answer our questions. he's been on the job for a few months. what he told us yesterday after the hearing is, look, i'm going to do -- i'm going to get you what you want, help me prioritize the order in which you want it. and i'm happy to do that. but i am running out of -- actually, that's not true. i have run out of patience with government entities who treat subpoenas like invitations to cocktail parties. you don't get to rsvp yes or no, you comply, or there should be legal consequences. and this body is too slow to mete out legal consequences when other entities don't do what we tell them to do. bill: yeah. you say you'll bring the commissioner back next wednesday and that he'll -- >> i would. bill: -- sit there until you get your answer. is that going to

bill: i see.ess conference, or is this a press conference on behalf of police? >> police. down at headquarters downtown. bill: so our viewers know then there's a briefing that we're watching get set up in a matter of moments at the hospital in this austin, and the police will talk about an hour after that. tell me more about the suspect. what was he doing? why was he suspicious? what happened there? >> so officers were attempting to make a traffic stop about, you know, an eighth of a mile or so from downtown right will on i-35 service road going into downtown. the suspect fled from officers at that location and drove the wrong way down a one-way street heading into downtown. once he arrived could downtown,e made the right turn on red river where we had closed off for pedestrian traffic. bill: confirmed intoxication? >> yes. bill:wet breathalyzer? did he walk the line? >> no. the suspect was taken into custody, and during our investigation it was deemed that that was the main reason. bill: blood al

is voting no on this bill. that's why most physicians' groups are strongly opposed to this bill. last night my office was flooded with messages from various physician groups. i, for one, still believe in finding a way to do what's right. i, for one, am dedicated to the principle of seizing the moment and accomplishing big things on behalf of the american people. we thought we were going to do it this time. so when it comes to this mix bag piece of legislation, cooked up in the dead of night, put on the web at two minutes before 12 a couple days ago, revised several times since, not much more than 48 hours ago this stuff started. i vote no. enough with trying everything else. it's time to do what's right. a permanent doc fix. argued, debated, and agreed upon is what our seniors need, it's what our doctors need to help them manage their practices. it's what our nation needs and deserves. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentleman from pennsylvania. before i: mr. speaker, yield to the

this is part of this bill. but also part of the bill is the important consequence of communicating to the people in that region and offsetting the propaganda that russia right now is sending into the country. we address that issue as well in this legislation. as well as good governance issues and the steps that are needed in order to reform the economy inside ukraine. in order to set up the rule of law, independent courts. the polls are on the groundworking on this issue right now. the united states needs to support that effort. and this sends one last message that if you're in the business of helping to invade a country and >> defendant and the bill -- the senate and the house passed tools to help ukraine. the senate passed its version. several differences in the bills have yet to be worked out. in another vote, the house passed a bill that would bring a significant cut in medicare payments to doctors. it is scheduled to go in effect on monday. here's the headline. house gop leaders used a vote to pass a tempo

that bill's ready. there's a bipartisan house version, h.r. 15, let's bring that forward under a rule. that vote -- that bill would have the votes to pass tomorrow if we brought it forward. we could send it to the president, we could reduce the deficit by over $100 billion, increase our g.d.p., create hundreds of thousands of jobs for american citizens, which the bill has been scored, finally secure our borders so we have control over who comes and goes, both people and illicit products. that's what the american people want. let's get that bill through. rather than celebrate yet another empty anniversary for the repeal of the affordable care act. i strongly suggest that my colleagues start bringing forward bills that the american people want to see pass. if we can bring forward immigration reform with bipartisan support and get it out of this body and to the president's desk, the american people will start to improve their opinion of this institution. when i see the polls and it says, oh, 15% approval i

the bill before us today. the financial services committee put together four different proposals to address these concerns. the last one included an eight to 10-year phase-in and nearly a two-year affordability cap of $5,000. unfortunately each one of these proposals were rejected because they fell short, because maintaining subsidies indefinitely. that's unfortunate because maintaining these subsidies hurts everyone in the long run. it hurts taxpayers by putting them on the hook for billions of dollars in subsidies, it hurts the flood insurance program by easing its path toward insolvency and it hurts homeowners by encouraging them to build in areas that jeopardize their lives and their properties. after more than a decade, if i've learned anything in congress, is that the federal government does a terrible job of underwriting and pricing risk. whether it's through subsidies for failures to price risk due to political crucials, the american taxpayers unfortunately end up footing the bill. what's even worse un

why are we deporting people who are potentially eligible for a senate bill or house immigration bill, those are the questions that we're asking ourselves. we want a president to be bold. we want him to be courageous. we want him to take bold action within the confines of his legal authority, and we believe there is a lot more he can do. the question is why hasn't he done it already. >> bill, there has been ferocious push back by republicans on selective enforcement yet the numbers would point to an administration that has no hesitation at all sending people out of the country. >> well, i think with the obama administration, i think he's misreeding conservatives on this issue. when it comes to enforcement he's focusing solely on deportation. i don't think you'll find too many republicans who want to deport 11 million people who want the government going house to hous house to get every illel immigrant out of the country. what they're really asking of the president, senate and congress is to maintain strict border enforcement, stop the flow of immigration into this country with illegal

thank you, sir. >> thank you, bill. bill: all right.well investors looking ahead to comments from federal reserve chair janet yellen, now time to take a look at the markets right now. there is a live look for you. the dow closed yesterday up 89 points. we will keep an eye on the markets throughout the show for you to see what is happening today. bill: certainly will. heather, talk about a close call, did you see this? wow. check it out. roll it. man, that's a truck going airborne. we'll tell you what sent this truck flying and who was on the side of the road that was just missed. heather: really close. will bashing obamacare spell victory for republicans in more and more candidates adopting that strategy. a fair and balance the debate straight ahead. >> obamacare is causing our health care costs to skyrocket. if obama has his way, our utility rates will be next. introducing olive garden's pronto lunch starting at $6.99. an entirely new menu created with your busy schedule in mind. handmade italian sandwiches, flatbreads, and our signatu

bill: the u.s. nato are trying to figure out how to disentangle themselves from this russia-ukraine situation and not coming up with good solutions. secretary kerry is not taking the military option off the table. but nobody is suggesting a return to the cold war status. in washington they are talking about sanctions, economic and diplomatic moves. plans for a g8 meeting in russia being suspend. the u.n. secretary haig is in washington. there is talk about that. over the weekend we saw and heard about a 90-minute conversation between pu between vladimir putin. and the president. they are worried and a lot of concerns in a lot of places right now. bill: thank you, gregg palkot leads our coverage in london. martha: president obama took hits on his handling of this situation. republicans are saying vladimir putin looks wild. senator rogers says this is not a game. he says if it were a game the russians are playing chess and the u.s. is playing marbles. >> i think it's a naive position on the part of th

the bill is passed. under the previous order, the senate will proceed to executive session to consider the following nominations which the clerk will report. the clerk: nomination, department of commerce, ann mad ais an kumar of california to be assistant secretary of commerce and director general of the united states and foreign commercial service. department of state, timothy m. broas of maryland to be ambassador to the kingdom of the netherlands. the presiding officer: under the previous order, there will be two minutes of debate equally divided prior to a vote on the kumar nomination. is there objection? without objection. all time is yielded back. the question occurs on the nomination. all all those in favor say aye. all those opposed say no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it and the nomination is confirmed. under the previous order, there will now be two minutes of debate equally divided prior to a vote on the broas amendment. is there objection? without all time is yielded back. the

we have expressed the reforms contained in this bill. we were in a meeting with chairman upton as well. compromise requires hard work. that is what we have been about, but we have done it repeatedly in the subcommittee and we hope to do it again here. the work of the subcommittee has generated three bills on internet governance, a topic we will take up more fully in a short time. fcc consolidated reporting and fcc process reform. la reauthorization can be another example of bipartisanship and one i feel strongly about as we work together to get a bill that gets through the house. one section, obviously, that is important to me is section iv toch directs the fcc complete the quadrennial review before moving forward piecemeal on media ownership issues. the hallmark of government is transparent and political -- transparent processes. i am disappointed the commission failed to live up to the standard. 2010 review of ownership which had yet to complete and in last weeks announcement out of the fcc. fcc's actions will have far-reaching consequ

bill: maria, thank you.has more now. >> reporter: new revelations on how much time may have been lost in the search for the missing malaysia airlines plane. satellite images show the two objects that may be debris from the aircraft sparking a shift in the search area to the southern part of the indian ocean. a british satellite company says it knew of a possible crash site there as early as two days after the plane's disappearance. >> saturday when the plane was missing we were asked if we had any data relating to the flight. sunday-monday they mused the ideas maybe we can have satellite signals. they looked on the site and saw the plane had flown more hours. by tuesday they had drawn up a suggested arc to the north and south of where you might want to look. arthel: kyle bailey is an aviation analyst and licensed pilot. march 12 is when they shared the data. but the malaysian investigators didn't redirect their search efforts to the indian ocean until march 15. how much could that have affected the search? >

go to bill. bill: martha we'll look at the flight path to give you a better idea what investigators are looking at. kuala lumpur international airport and this is the destination which took off a little after midnight local time. go in just a little bit. can show the flight path, just 56 miles south of fochu island, vietnam. 50 miles south of there they were looking. they were trying to expand the search area of any clues if you have a plane at 35,000 feet where it can go. there was a report over the weekend that suggested the radar indicated the plane was possibly turning back, suggesting it might be heading back to the airport at kuala lumpur. a lot of aviation experts were on the leading outer edges what the radar capabilities are at that point. accuracy is called into question whether they really was heading back or is that the signal they were watching as the plane hit the water from 35,000 feet on down. there is big mystery on trying to figure this out. there is talk about terrorism. that i

bill: oh. bill: best story of the morning, martha.years old today. according to legend, the first batch of wings cooked up in 1964. martha: that was a good idea. bill: by the woman who owned this bar this buffalo, new york. >> she decided to deep fry them, put a potential sauce on them -- special sauce on them and, voila, the buffalo wig was born. -- wing was born. once they got into it, they really liked it. bill: i mean, even at, like, 10:45 in the morning. martha: i'm hungry. bill: these days the anchor bar cooks up more than 70,000 every month and who knows how many tasty pounds are consumed across the country. and i'll take a dozen, medium, with extra blue cheese. pronto. martha: a staple at every football party, right? ♪ martha: this is an interesting one, a man at the center of a dramatic flood rescue may sue the people who saved his life. we showed this live as it happened, it was quite dramatic. this man was upside down in his car. the rushing flood waters threatened to engulf him. the whole thing was caught on camera. there

bill is 100% right. there are fewer people starving, fewer people sleeping without a roof over their head. fewer people that are illiterate. life expectancy is generally longer. by any rational measure, things are better. that doesn't mean every place or every person and there will always be a bottom 20% and we will always redefine what that means, but to say that all of the foreign aid and the moneys that the bill and melinda gates foundation or bloomberg or lots of other generous people have invested, hasn't done anything -- that is just not true at all. we have a guy, a doctor in africa, who is trying to get numbers and find out what people are dying from. if you can't measure it, you can't manage it. we don't know. a lot of times you look at birth certificates that will say act of god. that doesn't tell you where you want to put your money to save people's lives. bill and melinda working on polio, this is the chance of really eradicating this disease like smallpox or both of us working on malaria, or

this is part of this bill. but also part of the bill is the important consequence of communicating to the people in that region and offsetting the propaganda that russia right now is sending into the country. we address that issue as well in this legislation. as well as good governance issues and the steps that are needed in order to reform the economy inside ukraine. in order to set up the rule of law, independent courts. the polls are on the groundworking on this issue right now. the united states needs to support that effort. and this sends one last message that if you're in the business of helping to invade a country >> also on thursday the house passed a bill that would cut payments to medicare doctor said to go into effect monday. over the next 50 minutes, we will show you that debate followed i a reporter -- by a report. voice vote instead of a roll call vote. unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and and insert remarks extraneous materials in the record on the bill.

in fact this bill is fully paid for. it also allows it to be done in a way that families can afford to pay the flood insurance premiums because sending somebody a $10,000 or $20,000 a year bill on a $200,000 house that never flooded is not an actuaryly sound rate, it's a death sentence. federal law shouldn't be done in such a way to force people out of their homes who played by the rules. this is a solution to the problem. this is not a delay. it's a solution that pays for itself within the program, with real reform that allows people to move forward with a program a flood insurance program, that will be sustainable and ultimately lead to a private market where you don't just have fema to go do -- go to, you can have private options for families. i urge passage and yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from california is recognized. ms. waters: i yield to the gentlelady from new york, ms. velazquez for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for one minute. ms. velazquez: thank you

it is a childcare development bill, and it is a work assessment bill. but i'm also proud of the process by which we are undertaking this bill. the process by which we arrived at this bill, and on which we're on the floor today. this legislation has not been reauthorized since 1996. senator richard burr of north carolina and i serve on the health education committee, which the presiding officer is a member. we once chaired the subcommittee -- i -- on children and families. senator burr and i, who have a long-standing professional relationship, said let's see what we can get done on that committee. where can we found common ground? where can we find that sensible center? how can we move things forward on a bipartisan basis where we add value to our country but don't add to our debt? so we put our heads together and looking at the childcare needs in our country, we began a regular order process. three hearings, lots of meetings with stakeholders, over 50 organizations, meetings with our staff, meeting with each other, characterized by three things -- mutua

bill h.r. 3675. those in favor will say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 having responded in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed, and -- the bill, as amended, is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. without objection, the title is amended. pursuant to clause 12-a of rule 1, the chair declares the house in recess until approximately climate change. but it began this morning with a speech by the chairman of the senate intelligence committee, dianne feinstein of california, criticizing the c.e.o. in a floor speech, charging the agency with spying on her committee's exupetters in a possible illegal search that she saids that haas been referred to -- has been referred to the justice department for possible prosecution. we spoke to a capitol hill reporter for more details. dianne feinstein spoke on the senate floor this morning, leveling some pretty strong allegations against the c.i.a. regarding a senate report on c.i.

there's four other bills. another bill is the breathe act introduced by representative cartwright and representative polis. that would close the loopholes of the clean air act that exempt gas and oil industries. the bill would require that toxic emissions of multiple-related small sources be aggregated to determine total emissions and make sure all fracking operations that release pollutants including benzine. another bill is the clean air act which has been introduced by representative cartwright and representative huffman from the state of california. this would protect the public a loopholeby closing that prevents regulation of harmful waste associated with natural gas production and particularly with fracking and other compounds. the next bill is the pressure act again by representative cartwright, this would close the loophole in the clean water act permits that tain are necessary. treat them like everybody else so we know what is going on in the process. and also makes oil and gas companies play by the s

don't filibuster the gillibrand bill. don't filibuster the mccaskill bill. my goodness, these women deserve an up-or-down vote on their bills, and the only reason i think some are forcing a filibuster on the gillibrand bill is they know we have a majority. just how strong it is, we will find out. what a sad day when 17 women in the united states senate support both approaches. 17 of the 20 women that we are facing a filibuster on the gillibrand bill. don't filibuster justice. it's pretty simple. you're going to hear a lot of words from politicians like me. fine. but i think it's important to listen to the words of the victims and find a little humility. story. ahman dough javier serving in the marine corps in 1993. he was brutally raped and physically assaulted by a group of fellow marines. ashamed and fearing for his life, he kept his rape a secret for 15 years. do you know what it's like to keep a secret like that, to suffer the pain, the humiliation for 15 years? and when he finally found the courage to share his story with a friend, he decided to write i

>> now that we filed the bill, we have over 30 members of congress that have cosponsored this bill. a number of groups have endorsed the bill. people are hungry for the bold ideas. we cannot pass a enough bold ideas to get this back on track. we continue to fight to get our economy back on track. that is why people sent us here. that is why we are in the majority in the house. if the senate is not going to address these problems, that is going to be one of the big issues in the senate races just like in the louisiana. she's going to have to answer the question on why she supports leadership. why not force a vote in the senate? all of these bills that we have combined into the jobs package are ideas that have been brought forward by our members. we need to continue to show people what we stand for. the president's failed agenda is playing out before our eyes. horrible unemployment numbers. people are given up working for work. people are hungry for the bold ideas. the more that we can bring to the table even better to show we are fighting for the american people. >> talk a little bit

bill: yeah.is been said that this has been the quite evidentest 17 years in a long time for california. do you agree with that, sir? >> yes. that certainly has been very quiet. for a time in the '80s, between '71 san fernando earthquake, '79 imperial valley earthquake up until loma and northridge and hector mine in 19 knit we were having major earthquakes quit frequently and there has been quite a lull since that time. bill: if that is the case, does that give experts like yourself, does that give you greater pause or concern because it's been so quiet? >> earthquakes cluster in time. earthquakes are random events somewhat like market crashes and they cluster in time and just because you have a cluster of large events doesn't necessarily mean that you know, that there is going to be, there is not going to be one afterwards or there is going to be one afterwards. it is a random event. bill: this was centered in la habre, northeast of l.a. and along the punta hills thrust fault. that is not part of

bill: certainly will.fbi does go in on a case like this what's, what's the team made up of? how many people go and what would their role be now? >> well, anytime you're in a sovereign nation, the sovereign nation takes the lead. but i would hope that malaysia would grant our fbi agents, homeland security officials great access because i personally believe they have greater sophistication and greater expertise to get to the bottom of what happened. you know, as you can see, this morning, filled with all these different theories out there. and no one really knows the truth behind the motivation. we do know what the plane did in my judgment. where it went but we don't know the motivation behind why it crashed. bill: all right. mike mccaul, thank you for your time. really appreciate it. >> thanks, bill. thanks for having me. bill: martha. martha: sounded the alarm on obamacare and now they're offering their own plan. the republican alternative. that story and what's in it, coming up next. bill: martha, also yo

if you type "bill kristol wrong" into google, google suggests bill kristol wrong again, bill kristol wrong again, bill kristol always wrong. you get to a page of a theory that bill kristol is always wrong. the website is billkristoltheory.blogspot.com. last summer the media criticism website mediaite finding the vehicle for them summarizing things bill kristol has famously been wrong about was to put together a bill kristol is wrong slide show. bill kristol said that nancy pelosi had disastrously miscalculated by coming out against the iraq war. coming out strongly against the iraq war before the 2006 election. he said because of that terrible miscalculation by nancy pelosi, there was no chance that the democrats would win the house in 2006. democrats not only won the house in 2006 making nancy pelosi speaker, they also won the senate that year. that same year, bill kristol was promoting sarah palin as the way the republicans could win the white house, he also said that barack obama, "is not going to beat hillary clinton in a single democratic primary. i will predict that right now."

where is this bill? i'd ask unanimous consent the appropriate time to place in the record the administrative statement. the chair: the gentlelady's request is covered under general leave. ms. jackson lee: so what are we talking about with this legislation? one, this legislation would narrow the scope of judicial review. in addition, this legislation would narrow the review by one federal agency who would allegedly coordinate other federal and state agencies. let me tell you what the problem is with that, mr. chairman. that is each of the agencies have their own extra expertise and so you are snuffing their expertise. you are quashing their expertise. you're forcing one agency be the giant unser of all the other agencies which have a responsibility to their constituency and to the american people. and then you have a set of circumstances that suggest, as my amendment will hope to correct, is that you're going to deem up. if you don't get the job done, we're going to deem you up, beam you up. we are just g

how do you justify attaching the iran sanctions bill to the veterans benefits bill? >> it's the only way we can get this to the floor. because we're denied any other attempt to do it. >> [ laughter ] >> jon: baba you are right. you are the victim here. you've been denied something you need by an impersonal government bureaucracy, how can anyone know the anguish that you must feel? but that wasn't the worst explanation of why the iran sanctions bill is say rell vant add on this was the worst. >> if the negotiations fail as i tragically have to tell you they are destined to fail and iran retains the enrichment capability, i would argue to you that it actually is relevant because it's our men and women in uniform that we're going to turn to when this thing ends up the way i know it will and ask them to take care of this problem. >> jon: you get it? we can't afford to properly take care of our existing veterans when we know how many more veterans we're about to create with our inhe have it havable -- inevitable war auto iraq. it's bad -- with iran. >> he has blocked a lo

bill. join uswish they would to help solve these problems. does in bickering go both ways? >> we have laid out a number of objectives. here the republican study committee put our best ideas together in the form of a single bill that families across the country want us to focus on. how to become independent. created by be opening up the resources that the president has on energy productions. they are killing jobs. saying things like the rain jacket we have in our bill. if there is a major change in regulation that will come forward, it will have a devastating impact on our economy. it should first have to go through congress. it shouldn't be up to them to post a numeral that will kill jobs in america. if that is happening right now with agencies in so many other federal agencies including the irs .> susan ferrechio have said in recent interviews that the house been fairlyas strong in showing what they are against but has a weakness for demonstrating what the party is more. given this is incl

that's how we came with the last bill and this bill. when coupled with the fact that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle provided only a minimum notice regarding the bill, it's hard to believe this is a serious attempt to legislate because it tramples on the legislative process, the rights of the members to have a notice, the rights of the public to have a notice and the rights of experts testifying. and this is what happens when you don't follow regular order which is due process, notice and a hearing. we do the same thing here. here are just a few of the problems with this bill. h.r. 3973 would impose burdensome and wasteful requirements on the justice department to the detriment of its law enforcement functions. probably have to hire new personnel, increase the debt which, of course, the other side talks about being passed onto the next generation. section 530-d of title 38 f 28 -- 38-d, united states code, any instance in which the attorney general or any justice department official establishes a formal or informal policy a
