they are now working with an attorney from the cochran firm, and that's a clear indication that they will likely be seeking legal action against the district and in particular the d.c. fire department. you see the family has gathered here at the podium. they are just across the street from the fire station in question, engine 26, just on the other side of rhode island avenue. it was last week that these family members say their loved one, 77-year-old medrick mills, was suffering a heart attack from across the street of the fire department. mill's daughter saying they called the firefighters to come over and help them. they say that they refused, the firefighters refused. the lieutenant in charge of that fire department has now submitted retirement papers, but fire chief kenneth ellerbee said there could still be disciplinary actions against that lieutenant, as well as some of the other firefighters that may have been involved here. the family getting ready to speak now. again, we likely expect that they will say that they are ready to pursue some legal action here. so we're expecting

i want to thank senator cochran, senator stabenow for getting us to this point. they have been dogged in their support for our nation's farmers for rural communities. i thank them. i have spoken with ohio's corn and soybean growers as well as members of the ohio farm bureau. i spoke on friday and met with a group of 300 farmers, union members in columbus on friday. they have told me the importance of passing a five-year farm bill. they especially emphasize the certainty finally of this bill that people can make the planning decisions that business people, -- planning and planting decisions that business people and farmers need. i have traveled across ohio's 88 counties and listened to farmers from minster to millersburg who have told me they want a leader, more efficient, market-oriented farm safety net. taxpayers deserve that, too. this bill is a reform bill. it eliminates direct payments. it links crop insurance to conservation compliance. it has all important things in agriculture policy. ohio farmers are clear they wanted a farm bill that eliminated those dir

just go completely firebrand, bring down mitch mcconnell, bring down pat roberts, bring downed that cochran burn at the stake. i want to be a leader higher. >> chris, i think it would be very hard to win the republican nomination running that kind of campaign there is no doubt that ted cruz appeals to a part of the republican base in a vivid way, which is why he could be of real force, especially given as mark suggested such an open field and such a fractured party. yet there is no question that the republican establishment still, still controls the nominating process of the party, more than any other faction. and that part of the party is not going to take well to that kind of a campaign if ted cruz goes that way without wooing them whatsoever. >> is this sort of westerner or southern division of this party going to be the winner? in other words, mark, if it comes down to a battle between rand paul and ted cruz, with bobby jindal floating around at the bottom somewhere, is that going to decide who the nominee is? or is there a still somewhat centrist wing left to compete with these guys? >

thad cochran in mississippi is one example. roberts in kansas could potentially have faced some trouble after it was sort of revealed that he doesn't actually live full-time in his home state. he's been challenged by -- >> a minor point. >> right, that is of particular grievance to the tea party, who are looking for politicians who don't seem like politicians. that's a move for -- these guys come across as the pa tigs sort of old era. they came in at a time that it was okay to move the washington, you took your family with you, it was considered an honorable way, a place to be, and that's not what these people are looking for at this point. >> you know, john, if we talk about the new wave, ted cruz would be one of the key figures in that new wave of people who are in governance who hate the actual art of governance. and you said -- you mentioned that rand paul had a more conciliatory message, which i'm assuming that's being -- that's sort of a broadcast to the national media and more of rand paul's efforts to kind of step into

cochran a question since we have him here. that is, are you familiar with the language in the baldwin second-degree as well as the carper second degree? >> to some extent. >> well, the question i want to ask you is pretty specific. that is, what is the difference and the two proposals as those differences relates to the prc? how did these two amendments, proposed amendments treat the prc and how they treat them differently? >> well, under -- as i understand the baldwin second amendment, if you will, that preserves the lectern to governance. and under the -- center carper and k-9 second degree, it provides -- it has no pre implementation review of postal service market dominant rates, and it would, for their review and 2017 the postal service would come in with a proposal and a choice for the commission which would have a hearing and comments from affected stakeholders to approve it without modification or rejected so it is an either or -- as i understand it is an either or decision. >> and that is different than the status quo

what is the a.m.p., the equivalent of those big crash courses as senator cochran called them or goals or is there a better goal? i think what i'm asking, i think what would be the equivalent here in terms of brain research or in terms of alzheimer's? what should the goal be and then how much money should a great country put behind it to reach the goal? in my work in public life it is always seem to me that money was not the problem but finding the old usually was the problem and if the goal was compelling enough usually the resources would follow the goal. so tell me again what the equivalent of the moonshot of the human genome project is here so i understand it clearly and then remind me again if you know what it would cost to do it? >> that's the hardest part because we don't know what the trajectory is going to be but a me see if i can address your very thoughtful question. you are right the moonshot human genome project were unique situations where you could define a precise and a precise endpoint and everybody would know whether you got there or not. you got a man on the moon oka

i want to say thank you to senator cochran's staff. they have led that effort and we want to thank them for their partnership and excellent work. and finally our secretary of agriculture, secretary vilsack in the usda, the technical expertise that we have received on every single section has been absolutely invaluable and when it came to the final days on dairy, the secretary played a very, very critical role in helping us get the compromise that will allow us to meet the goals and address farmers all over the country. and last but not least, the congressional budget office, who we called on day and night, and we appreciate their efforts. so, mr. president, i appreciate your patience in allowing me to do this at this time. i wanted to make sure we had a chance to say thank you to a lot of folks that deserve, as usual, a tremendous amount of credit for getting this done. they're the folks behind the scenes that have made this happen. and i'm very, very proud of each and every one of them. the presiding officer: under the previous order,

agriculture committee leadership, chairwoman stabbed now, chairman of, ranking member peterson, and cochran did a terrific job of shepherding it through a very difficult process. it is indeed a reform bill. it started with the notion that we wanted to change the safety nets to a safety net that would explain to not just folks in i recall tour but also to folks outside about a realtor because as i said earlier, just such a small percentage of our country are farms, so that means the vast majority do not think, and a map -- and they may not understand why it is important to them to have a safety net not to the former, but to the consumer and the citizen. and it was hard to explain why that safety net was providing payments to farm families when prices were at record highs, and i know that in a another presentation, and virtually every monday and every livestock in the last five years, we have reached at least at one point in time record prices. which may explain why this has been a five-year period of pretty good times generally speaking in agriculture. so this bill now create the circumstanc
