ron conaway and others have stepped up and said, why don't we have a consistent voice? yes we have the chamber of commerce, the wonderful group we have worked with for many years, but why not also have an additional voice? so we formed sf city, a citizen's initiative for technology and innovation, which was aimed at the new developing companies to give us a constant dialogue about their ongoing needs. anything we have done is they have also embraced the needs of our city. it is a two-way conversation. that led to us revising our stock options. we were one of the few cities in the country that was taxing stock options. again, not understanding how the ipo was working for the startup companies, realizing that we would be punishing them for their growth and turnaround, so we gave them another six-year exemption on that. by the way, if we grow, if we sustain and assist you in growing, can you help us with job training? that is what started the conversation on sf city. they have an ongoing program to create the curriculum for hiring kids or our public schools and aimed at re

conyahweh -- conaway, i yield. mr. conaway: i am the chairman on the commodities that does have oversight of the cftc, i expected arguments for this amendment to go in a different direction, but it does occur to me we are chastised, most of us on authorizing committees, mr. chairman, are chastised off for trying to appropriate in a bill. this seems like the appropriation process they are trying to write policy is not aloud, this is appropriating in an authorizing bill. it makes no sense whatsoever. the subcommittee on agriculture on the appropriations committee goes through these spending requests in detail. over and over. until a few weeks of committee work and they'll come to a conclusion. they'll bring this bill forward next week. it's a bit presumptuous to come in here and ask this body to spend another $128 million on an agency that the appropriations subcommittee on agriculture has already spent plenty of time deciding how much that agency needs to spend over the coming year. i would urge a no vote on this amendm

that's laura conaway, our producer talking to the great astrophysicist friend.u posted on our blog where you can watch the transit of venus on tuesday without burning your eyes out of your sockets. of course, the fact it's happening on tuesday means it's also happening on the day of the wisconsin recall election when with voters decide if republican governor scott walker gets to finish his term after he stripped union rights in the state and thereby all but wiped out the strongest unions in the state, which is the only way democrats have to fight. scott walker has led the nation in losing jobs. he has scorched the civility out of wisconsin's civic discourse. on tuesday we'll learn if he faces electoral consequences now before his first term is up. since what he's done in office is kind of a shock to those who voted on the election. he didn't run on any of the stuff he ended up doing. the scott walker recall on tuesday is the second most important election in the country this year, before the presidential election. democrats have been so dramatically outspent, it

conaway: move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. conaway: i rise today to share my concerns over the federal motor carrier safety agencies on exception to the requirements for drivers. under the administration's regulations, specialty-trained drivers used to service oil wells do not have to count waiting time for their hours of service limit. the new guidelines provides that drivers of support vehicles such as those used to transport materials and supplies used directly in the delivery of oil and gas do not qualify. the administration issued these guidance without making comment and requested comments after the fact. support drivers germly work under the exact same drivers as drivers of sperblely constructed vehicles including the same periods while their vehicles are in use at the well site. many drivers operate specialty vehicles one day and other support vehicles the next. it creates a different standard for the exact same drivers. the drivers' waiting time counts towards his or her hours of service limit but when operating a spe
