there is a lot of overlap in the bureaus and commission -- the bureau -- the new bureaus that dodd-frank asks them to do, but they've got offices that do those functions already. they can use what they have and perhaps fix it with moving employees around within that office. but at the end of the day, they still have to prove that they can do the job they have -- the job. they have not. and they already received too much money as far as i'm concerned. and if they can better manage personnel and do that job, then i'm more than happy to look at funding then at the levels my colleague suggests. but not until they can prove they can manage what they've got already. and i yield back. mr. luetkemeyer: i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from new york, a member of the committee, rise? the gentleman from new york is recognized for five minutes. mr. serrano: let me first clarify something. the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. frank, came to me, told me where he wanted to take the cuts to pay for thi

special act john marsh is with the state bureau of firearms. his department generates the list. >> the bureau of firearms investigates the most people in that system. >> reporter: each year the bureau investigates more than 1700 people and seizes more than 1200 firearms. >> anywhere from hundreds of guns from a single individual to a single gun but a gun is a gun and it could be used in, you know, in harmful ways. >> reporter: mar southbound one of a handful of state officers who confiscate guns. >> the bureau has 20 agents and that is from the oregon border to san diego. >> reporter: those officers also work many other cases. that means for the list to be effective local police and sheriff's deputies have to help. >> we provide them with the list of people in their are city that are prohibited from owning firearms and then if they have the manpower available they can investigate those people in their city. >> reporter: the bureau says many police departments facing budget cuts can't afford to follow up and there is no uniform policy on what ea

the public security bureau in general is not allowed to produce a quota.ey may very well kill the quota as in get rid of 5% of the people, but when they investigate mass murder or when somebody has to write his own confession you will see that the numbers tend to very. their questions, there were queries and they tend to quagga late at some point. so of course a lot of it is questionable but in general there is very little incentive for somebody or a team who is investigating mass murder to actually increase the number of deaths or exaggerate the amount of torture. very little incentive to do that it is the other way around. >> what was the most surprising thing you found in the archives? >> what took me aback right awa, was the extent of violence, the extent of violence. i expected it to be about famine. i expected to read about starvation. i didn't realize rather naÏvely i should say, that collectivization means collective violence. when you take away everything, when you strip every incentive to work from people, you have to literally beat them to get t

>> guest: i was the chief of the table table -- not cable television bureau in the broadcast bureau and the common carrier bureau. >> host: what kind of work did you do what you were there? >> guest: of the chief of these girls is the senior civil servant who reports to and makes recommendations to the commissioners about what the polish he should be and also as a personal manager, the implementation of these policies of the various girls. this is going back a very long time now, 30 years by actual count. and the issues in the cable area were essentially whether or not the cable television industry should be permitted much broader latitude to offer services at the time it was somewhat suppressed by virtue of concerns about what it might do to over the air broadcasting's. and in a telephone area it was a whole series of issues some of which are tentative with us even today including the rather current issue of how we deal with transmission companies and the concept of transmission companies, companies that offer content. something a little bit similar to this net neutrality decision that

were you making that with the entire pc or within the bureau or department? >> both. commissioner: just so you know, it is a concern of mine but the workers understand what the procedures are that we are following here. and so, i have talked to a lot of people. i have spent time. i have talked to rebecca. i have talked to a number of people. my primary concern is probably high lighted on page 3 of your memorandum of february 16 to us. it is specifically related to the procedural concerns that i had our last meeting and whether or not everything was out in the open. the puc is trying to circumvent the process. specifically, with respect to that line, that may be the case once you get the layoff notices, but as i sit here, et for you, i know that because this is being proposed and will go to the mayor's office, because i think ed lee is someone who understands the collective bargaining process, due process, i am trying to explain to you why i am prepared to move this forward, because on an advisory board, i think i have no choice but to move this forward, because now, i

going to my censorship yeah the fiscal bureau said that there was a one hundred twenty seven million dollar surplus before scott walker decided to give tax breaks to wal-mart and a bunch of his other corporate cronies so to say that that this is simply unsustainable is simply untrue not only that because they're taking weekly departing rates you can lose seventy million dollars in federal money that's tied to some of these issues this is quite frankly a violation of international law and it just screams for america to scrape through the american dream i do find it interesting that scott walker hasn't mentioned even once and i have seen a statistic so also that there was going to be a budget surplus and then thanks to a few pieces of legislation that passed after you know it took office. that's why there is now a budget problem well there was also there were as there were several other problems were before scott walker did this tax thing one was that growth was abysmal in wisconsin the desire was to attract jobs from wisconsin so that you didn't have people leaving in droves you know

our new consumer bureau will make clarity a top priority. industry representatives have expressed their willingness to help and many consumer groups and academics are committed to helping as well. we want to work collaborative the with all parties. a part of that collaboration, we want to be sure we understand the consequences of the card act, both intended and unintended. this conference is a first step in that direction. so i anticipate that today's event will provoke some thoughtful and informed discussion about what has changed since the card act took effect and what those changes mean for consumers, issuers and the market and what remains to be done. that is the most fitting way to commemorate this one year anniversary. is also the right way to launch a new conversation that uses our collective brainpower to advance more efficient markets. so thank you again for your time and your energy. thank you for being here today. we need you. th

well, the secret service and the better business bureau have a few tips. first, of the wiggle test which allen mentioned earlier. when you come to the atm if something looks suspicious, wig tell to be sure it's supposed to there and wiggle it and check around the edges for glue. cover your p.i.n. whenever you enter it even if no one is around. you don't know who might be looking. finally be picky with your atms. you want to choose a well-lit high traffic area like this because the more traffic there is, the less likely it is that these atms have been tampered with. and allen, they also say not a bad idea to check your bank statement every, single day. i know that sounds like a lot but it's a suggestion from the better business bureau. >> and it is easier to do that online. but you have to be careful about going online and checking your account, too, now? >> reporter: right. there is an app for that. you have to be careful about hackers. >>> roberta has the forecast. >> you can feel the difference today. temperatures warmed up from 63 degrees in kentfield t

what i want to do is i want to send a message to the bureau of land management. this amendment only cuts about $2 million from the bureau of land management's management of lands and resources committee. and i know that's not much when you're talking about a $1.65 trillion deficit this year. but the problem that i'm addressing is the wild horse and burrow management program they have. this program was started in 197157ped since then the secretary of the interior's been charged with managing these mustangs that live on public lands out west, primarily. and by any stretch of the imagination, this program may have been successful to a degree, but it's very, very costly. the cost has gone from $20.4 million in fiscal year 2000 to $64 million in 2010 and the president's asked for $75.7 million in this coming fiscal year. now, as far back as 2008, the nonpartisan government accountability office has warned that the cost of this program will get completely out of control unless we deal with it in an efficient way. and this is not -- this has not happened. and so, what's

and so i immediately went into the bureau bureau chief and said, it has crossed the atlantic ocean thati am lazy and i understand the whole network thinks i am lazy. i want out of this contract. i am waiting. i'm going back to chicago. carole, what are you talking about? he claimed to have not heard any of this. and he said, don't you worry. we don't want you to leave. i will look into this. well, that night at 9:00 i got an assignment, an assignment i knew was going to get on the air and of course the next day i was on the air. images showed me how people can make things happen if they want to make them happen. if they don't want to make them happen --. so i vowed to find out who it was that it started that rumor. and i had called everybody that i had worked with in chicago that for now been at work and said, you know me. you know i'm not lazy. every time you hear that what you promise me you would tell them that you know carole wax why would i come here and become lazy for my dream job? so things worked out. it took me two years to find out who it was, but i found out who it was. and

norman welsh is a 12-year veteran of the state bureau of narcotics enforcement and he's the commander of the central contra costa narcotics enforcement team. that is a task force comprised the law enforcement agencies in this area. he was arrested this morning in benecia after the state bureau of narcotics instigated an investigation in the middle of january. he's been charged with 20 counts of selling methamphetamines, marijuana and steroids. >> i know fellow officers are stunned by this. was he working alone? >> no. he wasn't. he was -- agents arrested a person called christopher butler, a private detective whose offices under this building. police and state agents searched this office. butler is working on a tv show called pi moms, welsh reportedly sold drugs with the help of butler. >> where are they being held now? >> they're being held at the contra costa county jail. and this state ag office has yet to give us details in this case. and there is more still to come at 6:00. vic lee reporting live. >> and the california supreme court agreed today to decide whether the sponsors of

the fed has no involvement in the operation of the bureau? you are just the landlord? >> we are doing our best to help them get set up. there is a lot to be done in terms of hiring people and so on, but in terms of policy- making, they are completely independent of the federal reserve. we have no say whatsoever. >> you were making no recommendations about who the director should be or how the bureau will operate in any way from a policy standpoint? >> no, that is not part of our responsibility. >> another major issue that involves a treasury is the future of freddie mac and fannie mae. some are concerned that perhaps most of their functions will be turned over to a few large financial enterprises. what is your general approach to the future of these two institutions? >> the treasury is promising us a set of proposals very soon. it will be interesting to see what they have provided. there are various possibilities we could do, including making them a government utility or privatizing them. one suggestion which i had made in previous remarks is

now, norman walsh, a 12-year veteran of the bureau of narcotic enforcement, and christopher butler were arrested this morning on charges of the distribution of meth amphetamine, marijuana and steroids. they got a tip last month prompting the investigation. sources tell the nbc bay area that welsh is accused of taking drugs out of his bureau's evidence locker. both men have been highlighted in the media as appearing in past news stories. butler's private eye business has even gotten him national attention, giving him spots on the "today" show and the dr. phil show. i had a chance to talk to several people who know both men who say they are flabbergasted by the arrest. they were both antioch police officers together years ago. people are having a hard time believing this. they say they are well respected in the community. now, the department of justice says their investigation continues tonight. search warrants are being served and this district attorney says he has until friday to decide whether or not he'll file charges. >> thank you. >>> new tonight at 5:00, california's supreme court

[ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: bahrain's king made a rare address to the nation, offering condolences and calling for an investigation.

so chairman canard started the enforcement bureau. chairman marne started the security bureau and those did help streamline some functions but you're absolutely right. overall reinventing government starting in 1993 but the government since then and even before then has only gotten bigger and that has not necessarily been reinvented. there are slow-moving institutions in washington and it is hard to pass legislation affecting agencies. took something like 9/11 for there to be the creation of the part of homeland security. it is hard to do that of the way institutions are set up. so we still have a statutory construct and it is of to congress to change that and up to us to try to adapt as best we can. some of those bureaus have been renamed and there's a lot more cross talk within the agency then there was in 1999 when he lay that out. but when mike cops became acting chairman in january of 2009 and sent him a long detailed letter and then in july of 2009 a sense the same long letter with a few revisions outlining some suggestions. how
