but cole was aware that multiple was not going to support his reunification plan. their different positions on the question were impossible to overlook. we get off on almost as you know i am working on the premise that we have 2 independent sovereign states and their continued existence is in the interests of european peace. and order. was told disagreement his aim was to give the east germans what they wanted reunification but he also had to assure his international allies that germany would not be going it alone. unless it was for you to. also you have to move to everything that changes here will have an effect on the prowl of friends in europe as we are acutely aware. when we consider our own interests we must also consider the interests of others not least the security interest is you know here in the middle of europe in the middle of germany the interests of many are at stake the interests of all of our neighbors our love for them of course was that we cannot call knew he was on very very thin ice and this he expressed at the press conference he said i underst

and ranking member cole, members of the rules committee. i appreciate the opportunity to discuss the interior environment and related agencies division for fiscal year 2020. i want to thank chairwoman lowey for advancing this process, along with ranking member granger and i want to thank all the staff on both sides of the aisle for all the long hours that they put in. a very special thank you to ranking member joyce, thank you for your gift of buckeyes. i like you so much i will not bring you the gift of lutefisk. \[laughter] for fiscal year 2020rks the interior environment division provides $36 billion, which is $437 billion more than fiscal year 2019 enacted bill. this bill, though, does reject the cuts proposed by the trump administration that would have hindered the ability of the e.p.a. to keep us healthy and zeroed out the water fund. this summer i testified before you about the important programs funded in the house bill. although we were not able to keep the entire robust allocation, i am proud of what we were able to fund. as a res

the men didn't know one another it was taken aback to realize that cole had prepared meticulously for the meeting yet . he became we talked in the car that took us into town to nearby the fish talked. often. i was surprised the call had been briefed in detail on my biography focused current down to my childhood in the village of ya's. it's in western pomerania tired in the end of yas and notes and fulfillment and for mere thought. and i thought to myself. oh if i could have told my own people to prepare is it better for the time. to go too far to to start started when people were lining the street on the drive into town because we couldn't go very fast we could only crawl along the street in quantity you could see the people's faces. and the range of expression on their queues east people cheering but also people weeping. to flee through it was deeply moving and. these germans had chosen to hold the meeting and a hotel for foreign visitors contact with the public was to be kept to a minimum. but they hadn't bargained with the crowds who gathered ahead of the meeting between cold and m

cole rngts , it's not a cri. it's a sad day. it's telling that the articles of impeachment, to show you how partisan it is and really the concerning part i and mr. mcgovern is a friend, we disagree probably on a lot of things, is this glass half full or empty. that's fine, that's what voters send us here for. we have worked together. the question i have here, if this was overwhelming, bipartisan and so the american people understand it, then why are we in the rules committee today? when it was with clinton, it was straight to the floor. it wasn't, come to the rules committee, because both sides could see there was something that needed to be discussed and that's not true here so we've having to bring it up to the rules committee, a place that i have spent many hours and many of us on this, uh, group have discussed, many things. this should not be one of them. it's interesting, i hear a lot today, i've heard from mr. raskin and the chairman as well, discussion of the founders. we cherry pick the founders, and that's okay, that's

cole as well, members who i've spent many hours in this room with. know, the chairman made a statement about my friend here mr. raskin, and he is a fine attorney and it's been amazing to me throughout this year how the judiciary committee has sidelined fine attorneys like himself into not asking questions, into not being a part of the process. it's been really interesting to watch because he's actually a good one, and as you said, he's a good constitutional attorney. i'm not a constitutional attorney. i'm a pastor and an attorney from north georgia, but i believe that you take another look at this, and you can apply constitutional lenses we all set through those glasses, but it's a common sense lens. it's a common sense lens. mr. cole made a comment in his opening statements. he said it doesn't make sense. yeah, it does. it makes perfect sense. look at the pattern. you know, the only thing that is -- that is a clear and present danger right now in this room is the pattern of attack and abuse of rules and decisions to get at this president that starte
