congressman john larson of connecticut, and congressman gerry connolly of virginia.reat to have you with us. i enjoyed visiting with all of you last night. i come from and i spend a lot of time in the state of minnesota where a bridge fell down and killed 13 people. so when the president talked about this last night, i knew exactly what he was talking about from covering that. the other thing is i bet i could go to alabama, go to virginia, go to connecticut, and i could probably find infrastructure that needs to be upgraded, bridges that are probably compromised at this point right now. and i chose this story tonight for this panel because isn't this something that republicans and democrats can agree on? john larson from ways and means, how could this be a roadblock? >> it shouldn't be a roadblock at all. and everybody agrees in their district that there is a drastic need for us to invest in infrastructure. we know that from the president's address when he was citing bridges. bill shuster, who is taking the committee on transportation has talked about the importance

connolly: i thank my colleague. madam speaker, i appreciate the comments we have just heard. the bill before us today is just the latest partisan jab at federal employees who are in the frontlines protecting and serving our constituents every day. i remind my colleagues that more than 85% of federal employees do not work here in the d.c. region. they live and work in your districts. they are the law enforcement agents, park rangers, researchers, health inspectors who make our communities safer. these are middle class families struggling to makes ends meet just like everybody else. yet house republicans routinely use them as a punching bag, chipping away at their pay and benefits. so far the tab is $103 billion and counting. it is time to say enough. i was pleased to join with congressman barrow and 10 of our colleagues in co-sponsoring the amendment mr. polis referred to to this partisan bill. at least would have separated the questions of freezing our pay from that of federal employees. in fact, three such amendments were submitted, but each was rejected by the republicans i

democratic congressman gerry connolly and republican sam graves, well, they sent a letter to the postmaster general to keep saturday service. hold it, folks, what is he going to do? he can't do it. his hands are strapped. it's the congress. the congress has to move on this. south dakota congresswoman and tea party favorite kristi noem, who has been asked to be on this program, uh-oh, she fell off the bandwagon. she is also trying to stop it. she said i understand that serious changes need to take place to make the united states postal service financially viable. but i do not support cutting saturday delivery. coming from a rural state, our rural post office is critical to the way families and businesses operates. you're probably going to get thrown out of the republican party for saying that. but if you have an issue on this, you really need to take it up with your tea party crowd, and you need to take it up with the republican party. because republicans want to destroy middle class voting block and drive this whole thing into privatization. then what are you going to tell your small towns

they also brought connolly specialized experience and carpentry bricklaying, ironwork and other skilledrades at the statue of freedom on top of the capitol shows. when the capitals' first constructed, the building had a small wood and copper dome. it was considered a national embarrassment. the responsibility coming up with the dome was given to the architecture and design are in montgomery who designed and constructed the current dolma that we see today. two months after its authorized the construction of the dome in 1865, thomas crawford was given the commission to create a statute that would sit on top of the new structure. crawford was a white man that had a couple of runs with the slave owner and future president of the confederacy jefferson davis. because of his desire to make the statue one of the freed slave. crawford completed the plaster model of the statue of freedom in 1856 while living in rome. according to the architect of the capitol, crawford wanted to talk the statue with a liberty cap, the symbol of the freed slaves in ancient greece, and that's what you see there on t

connolly, for five minutes. mr. connolly: thank you, mr. speaker, and i can't resist by saying the second amendment right does not preclude background checks to protect the very people we represent. mr. speaker, the supreme court ruling last summer on the affordable care act was a victory for all american families and small businesses, especially, by ensuring that our constituents have access to affordable quality health insurance. the ruling preserved the integrity of medicaid partnerships between the states and the federal government, giving governors the opportunity to accept to pay the cost for expanding low-income residents who might otherwise not have access to health insurance. though, some of my republican colleagues remain opposed to the act, i'm pleased to see republican governors, including those from nevada, new mexico, arizona and now ohio putting policy ahead of politics to support this expansion of medicaid. those governors have acknowledge that they were motivated not only by the desire to reduce the number of uninsured but

connolly, for five minutes. mr. connolly: mr. speaker, the postmaster general's announcement this past week that he intends to eliminate saturday mail delivery is of great concern to my colleagues on both sides of the aisle. n beyond the fact that such a move completely disregards congressional intent, it also sets the postal service on a downward spiral that will undercut any opportunity to revitalize it and put it in a more sound financial footing for future generations. whether it's the financial documents for small business, a prescription refill for an elderly resident, or birthday card for a loved one, saturday mail delivery is important to every person in every community in america. the united states postal service is an american institution. dating back to the founding of our nation when it was enshrined in article 1 of the constitution. and saturday delivery has been part of that tradition for the past 150 years. the men and women who don the blue uniform of the usps are visible in every street in every community. at a r

connolly, three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized for three minutes. mr. connolly: i thank the speaker, and i thank my friend from maryland. the distinguished chairman of this committee says that we're entitled to our opinions but not our own facts while he calls upon our friend from florida, former member of our committee, who cherry picks on the simpson-bowles committee. the same committee that said we need a $4 trillion hit on the debt over the next 10 years and it has to be a balance between revenue and spending cuts. my friend from florida and my friend from california fail to cite that fact. that's a fact. the chairman just put up a sign talking about the exit rate in the federal work force. what he doesn't tell you is that 47% of the existing federal work force is eligible for retirement over this next decade because of the baby boom demographic. how will we replace them? especially the higher skillsets? my friend from california, like me, came from the private
