bureau of justice statistics into the partner violence made a 20% of all non fatal violent crimes in the year 2001. the national violence against women survey cited on the web site reports 52% of surveyed women said they were physically assaulted as a child by an adult caretaker and/or an adult by any kind of perpetrator. there is no evidence muslim families have a disproportionate amount of such violence. we don't have enough data on this but given strong and documented association between domestic violence and abuse of alcohol one might predict they turn out to have someone less. suppose there were evidence that the burqa was associated statistically with violence against women? could government legitimately ban at on those grounds? the u.s. supreme court has held nude dancing in indiana, an interesting case if you look it up later, newt dancing may be banned in this bar in indiana on account of its contingent association with crime including, crimes against women. there's no evidence this holding is correct reversing trends on the seventh circuit where rigid pose near said it was

in recent years according to the bureau of justice, 33% of female murder victims were murdered by someonee intimate with as opposed to 4% of men. now the numbers in the nfl aren't as startling but what i do think is interesting is that in this offseason, the commissioner said his two most important issues going forward with players this season would be cutting down on the duis and cutting down on domestic violence. >> you know, and just another note because, you know, everybody says there was no sign that he was abusing his girlfriend in any way but could n't you say the same thing about chris brown and rihanna? the day she turned up battered and bruised did anybody suspect that chris brown was a batterer? >> here's what i will say about that, carol. there's a lot of things that go unspoken we know in situations. and i think that there's always those report that is come after like we heard in the chris brown and rihanna situation that they had a bit of a volatile relationship. some people made it sound as easy as, well, they loved hard. they fought a lot but they loved very hard and you h

at all that would be hugely effective would be reforming our relationship with the atf, the bureau of the justiceepartment that is charged with regulating gun sales and gun ownership. >> there's been no director. >> in six years since the congress mandated that they needed to confirm the director. there's no director. there are vastly fewer agents than there were in the past, and thewatching the guns in this country is just not being done. >> if we can return this a little bit. i think that the president -- the words task force are always awful whenever a president says them. it denotes a lack of seriousness. in this issue, first of all, i'm not surprised. this is not a guy who has shown that he is going to make policy out of emotion, but on top of it we're talking about an issue that's not really an issue. it's about freedom, and it's not merely about, know, freedom to the people who want to own guns. it's about freedom for everybody. you roll in all there's different things about access, about purchasing, about culture where the federal government has almost no leverage, and so i actually think

according to a report from the federal bureau of justice statistics, more than half of our country's prison population suffers or has suffered from mental disorders that only a fraction of that population receives the treatment during their incarceration, and in fact individuals with mental illness are far more likely to be victims of crime than the perpetrators. . it reveals our shared responsibility to support and treat those in this country who need our help so desperately. i urge our colleagues to support a more constructive federal roll in assuring proper and early diagnosis and intervention of affected youth and appropriate treatment and i congratulate president obama and vice president biden for their leadership in moving our nation to a better day for us all. so many of us here in congress wish to join them in this great national challenge. madam speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. all time for one-minute speeches has expired. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, the chair will postpone further proceedings tod

d.e.a. -- drug enforcement agency, $230,000 for the bureau of alcohol, firearms and explosives, and $20,000 for the vehicle of the department of justice inspector general. among other things, these funds are largely to repair and replace federal vehicles damaged by water from the storm. the department of homeland security requested $300,000 for the secret service, $855,000 for immigration and customs enforcement. again, this funding is largely for repairing or replacing damaged motor vehicles. the president requested this funding in an effort to replace these damaged vehicles. he cited operational use of these vehicles by law enforcement agencies as a reason they need to be replaced. now, i understand the vehicles are a very important part of the work of these federal law enforcement agencies and the work they undertake and are critical for ongoing operations in the field. however, i am concerned about simply providing funding for replacement vehicles in the field because of the way the government operates. this funding will not reach the agencies immediately. even when it does, it will take time for replacement vehicles to be located
