representative capuano, i want to ask you about a couple of pieces of legislation that you're sponsoring beginning with the we are watching you act. what is that? >> guest: um, it is a bill that will simply require companies to put devices in your home such as a cable box that are capable of having cameras and microphones, 3-d imaging and thermal sensors in it to be able to determine what you are doing in your home. literally watching you in your own home that people would be informed, number one, that they're there. they would have an option to get out of that, and if anything were being recorded right on the tv would scroll the words, we are watching you. it's a device that has, i actually thought was science fiction when i first heard about it. i thought, okay, what's the punchline, until i went and pulled some of the patent applications. and in the applications they are described, in my opinion, as very scary and should be scary to anybody who cares about privacy. >> host: and verizon is one of the companies that has a patent for this, right? >> guest: they didn't get a patent, they

. >> now joining us on the community indicators is representative michael capuano, i want to ask you about a couple pieces of legislation you're sponsoring beginning with the "we are watching you act." >> it is a bill that will simply require company that put devices in your home, such as a cable box, that are capable of having cam contracts mike row row phones and 3-midging to deem what you're doing in your home, literally watching you, beam be informed, number one, they're there. they would have an option to get out of that and if anything were being record would scroll the records, we are watching you. it's a device that has -- i actually thought was science fiction. i thought, what's the punchline? until i pulled the patent applications, and in the patent applications they are shrined in a matter, my opinion, very scary and should be scary to anybody who cares about privacy. >> ver the patent for this, right? >> they made an application but not the only ones. it's to my tension now -- i'm not mr. technology but i understand the xbox that is come ought has these devices. just read

. >> representative capuano, what kind of response have you gotten from your colleagues? >> the "we are watching you" has garnered some support. most people look at it the exact became i did. the first thing you read, you have to think it's a joke and then you think it's science fiction and a million years ago, and that's why the release i put out to my colleagues near the congress, actually attached copies of the patent itself. not for any reason other than to show them this is real. didn't make this up. this is directly out of an official patent filed bay major international corporation. the problem is a'll of this information, even to members of congress, they just don't know it. i think you can walk down the street and tap the shoulders of 100 people on any treat in america and my guess is 895 95 to 99% don't know their car has a black box and it can be used against them. so until people know it they can't have an honest discussion about it and exactly what the society wants. >> what about about when i couples to cell phones and tablets and the tracking? have you look

. >> host: um, representative capuano, have you -- what kind of response have you gotten from your colleagues on capitol hill? >> guest: well, the we are watching you has garnered some support lately only because moe people look at it the exact same way i did, the first thing you read you have to figure it's a joke and where's the punchline, and then you figure, well, it's science fiction, it's a million miles away, and that's why on the releases i put out to my colleagues here in the congress i've actually attached copies of the patent itself not for any reason other than to show them this is real. i didn't make this up, i didn't make up these quotes or these examples. this is directly out of an official patent filed by a major international corporation. so i've gotten some fair response on this. the problem is a lot of this information even to members of congress, they just don't know it. i think you could walk down the street today and tap the shoulders of a hundred people on any street in america, and my guess is 95-99% of them don't know that their car probably has one of these black box

congressman wolf, capuano and i have introduced h.r. 6092, the sudan peace and security accountability act. this strengthens sanctions against sudan and requires a comprehensive strategy to address the many conflicts and human rights crimes occurring in sudan, including an international strategy to enforce the i.c.c. arrest warrants against bashir and other sudanese officials. i ask my other colleagues to join us in this effort, to co-sponsor h.r. 6092, and to move it to the house floor for approval in the 113th congress. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, i rise today to recognize and absolute a remarkable -- salute a remarkable individual who passed away on july 15. i wish to express my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for his leadership and service to our country. he had a servant's heart. he served our nation as an officer in the u.s. navy and as a special
