his relationship with fdr and there was a relationship with the vice-chairman of national citibank, burgess, who was the treasury secretary under fdr during world war ii, that allowed these institutions to continue private financing of the war but also a much larger blanket approach to getting individuals to buy war bonds and take out accounts in these banks at the same time. so, that was the way they sort of combined helping the country, expanding their presence and getting new customers. but then by the time you got to the cold war all these new customers are there, and the policy of america under truman and eisenhower was to make sure that communism could not prevail basically throughout the world, and that capitalism would be the dominant-ism. and in eisenhower's doctrine he basically states that america would stand ready to fight from a military perspective or an economic perspective or what he said was a trade perspective, in order to protect its allies effectively, this ones on the capitalist side of the equation. that helped the bankers because all of a sudden they had military supp

burgess: i thank the speaker for the recognition. i thank the chairman of the committee for yielding me time and certainly thank him for his confidence in me in being on the rules committee this past year and a half. mr. speaker, it's now nearly two years, and administration that ran on the concept of transparency but now functions only in opacity, we heard from the administration on september 12, 2012. we will not waiver in our commitment to see that justice is done for this terrible act, and make no mistake, justice will be done, closed quote. it seems strange now, almost two years later, to think on those words. that seemed like a sincere promise. the american people believed that promise that was made just days after the attack. but if then we could have known that 19 months later the president's press secretary would stand before the white house press corps and laugh about the event. call it a conspiracy theory, i don't think we would have believed us if they would have told us what the future held. here we have a tragic event a

burgess: disturbing news from general motors in the case continues. internal emails were sent telling general motors employees to avoid using certain words, words like problem, words like safety. this raises questions about what g.m. knew and when they knew it, but mr. speaker, it also raises questions about the national highway traffic safety administration. what did they know and when did they know it? from our committee work we know ver the last decade, nhtsa had reasons to open up investigations but decided to do nothing. how could the nation's watchdog on highway safety see the problem and do nothing? the committee's investigation will continue. we have questions to the national highway traffic safety administration submitted at the last hearing. they need to be forthcoming. america deserves answers. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields, for what purpose does the gentleman from nevada seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. it was with great sadness that i

michael burgess, i turn to see a very surprised look on their face when we made it through the midstof the afghanistan people and there were holding rocket-propelled grenades as we turned down the massoud get to the family compound, pulled in into the gate, drive there within the inner part, and i saw my muslim friends coming out on the porch and down the stairs. so i jumped out and i looked back and saw they looked a little surprised as i jumped ut and these well-known muslim northern alliance members spread their arms open wide as i did and we embraced, strong, heartfelt embraces. because i knew what they had been through in fighting radical islam. i know that they do not want radical islam taking back over afghanistan when we leave. i know that because this administration has turned its back on those muslim nonextremists that we are putting their lives in danger to the radical islamist extremists poised and ready to take over in the vacuum that we leave. we owe our allies who fought and defeated the taliban by early 2002, we owe them better than that. and my heart breaks as i thin
