host: congressman jerry connolly is our guest. thank you for being here. member of the foreign affairs committee. let's talk about foreign affairs. the g-8 shument we are seeing headlines like this one, the leader there sidestep differences over syria, but they haven't banned some economic goals. that's a head line. we see the leaders of the g-8 there posing for a picture. what progress, if any, was made on syria? guest: i think the issue probably is one of coordination now that the united states has ublicly committed to assist in syria. i 24i there are -- think there are, however, some real hurdles. who is it we are arming? the last thing the united states wants to see, and i assume our european allies as well, is that we end up with the best of intentions arming and training and eequipping the jihadist element in the syria revolt, and that's the strongest part of the rebellion that ultimately comes to par to replace assad. that's not in our interest, regional interest, and i assume not aure peaian interest. those are real issues that have to be wrestled

he wanted john connolly. john connolly of texas had just recently converted to republican. but he had to get him through the senate, so he called the leadership of the house and senate, two democrats; senator mike mansfield, bless him, a wonderful man. mike mansfield had all the glories and the honors in the world, but when he died, he asked to be buried in the enlisted plot up here in the national cemetery. that's the kind of person he was. and carl albert was the other. he was the speaker of the house. and president nixon called them both in and said, gentlemen, we have to figure out who the vice president was. everybody in the room knew there was a better than 50/50 chance nixon wasn't going to survive, and they were selecting the next president of the united states. so nixon said i'd hike to put john -- i'd like to put john connolly in, and they said, mr. president, please do not do that. he is slippery, we don't trust him, he's not a man of his word. and he said, well, who would you like? both of them said, both of them volunteered and said, please, put gerald ford in

connolly: i thank my friend from florida. and maybe mr. hastings of washington would be more comfortable calling it the hastings-connolly amendment so that a virginia name might make you feel more comfortable. mr. chairman, have we already forgotten the consequences of lax regulation? i know the gulf coast hasn't. for many americans, the image of more than 200 million gallons of oil spilling into the gulf at an area of oil spill, an oil slick that if superimposed in this region would have gone from my district in northern virginia all the way to new york city. it threatened america's largest fishery, jeopardizing tourism, wreaking havoc with the region's entire economy. sadly the magnitude of the deep water horizon spill my -- deepwater horizon spill might have been mitigated had they been required to do what this amendment requires, to comply with the basic environmental standards established to prevent such disasters from happening in the first place. yet here we are three years later, and this congress still has not take an single actio

connolly: i thank the chair. i'm so pleased to join my colleague once again in sponsoring this important amendment to restore money to our nation's elet urban search and rescue teams. our modest, simple, straightforward amendment which has the support of the international association of firefighters, would provide level funding, as my colleague indicated, to the department to continue supporting the 28 national teams currently spread across 19 states, including our respective home states of new york and virginia. when people are trapped in the unstable rubble of a collapsed building, the window of survivability can be measured in hours. without highly trained responders, rescue attempts can and ly empow he virktims rescue victims alike. because of this training we have made specialized research in search and rescue teams. these elite firefighters and emergency medical technicians are not just first responders, though they are that. for people awaiting rescue, they are off the last hope. as my colleagues are aware

connolly made it clear, that is not the usual way to proceed. in this bar it would be considered a questionable practice to put somebody in that kind of an untenable situation. i'm concerned from the outside of what that was about, about spectacle or about trying to move this matter forward on that. i am also concerned that we are dealing with an issue of law here. you're asking this group of non-lawyers to make a decision based on a consultative legal question, and it is not as cut as dried as some wish it were. we have had some days where we relight the chairman was going to move in this direction to seek out some advice and we got advice on both sides. some experts, on either side of the issue, and it deserves a full exposition here as the amendment would do of having experts come in and breathe us and testify as to what underlies their opinions. the formal counsel stated that that introduction to the committee was a profession of her innocence, offered prior to he commencement of questioning. it contained no fax relating to the subject matte

connolly. for all the time that he wants. >> thank you.the set -- stepping back just a little bit, you all serve on the board. we have an ig report that says the bb g is failing in its mandated duties. from a flawed legislative structure, and strong internal dissension. would you agree with those findings? >> yes. i would not agree with those findings if they were made about the board on which i served. i think the board which i served had the mission problem which i described. but we had dedicated, committed members who showed up, who devoted tremendous amounts of is a good, and jeff example. traveled a great deal, minding the store. i cannot think that is true. part of the problem is that this board has not had a chair for a year or. there are numerous vacancies. >> i'm not sure the report was laying the blame at the board. >> if you want to change a legislative structure, you're more than welcome to do it. i didn't think there was anything the matter with the structure to begin with. i cannot speed to that. that is a current board issue

connolly said, what for? to pillory her, to make an example of her, to put her in a situation where she might then be forced to waive? in the judicial process and i think mr. connolly you made it clear that is not the usual way of proceeding and intact in this d.c. bar it would be considered an unethical practice when someone in that untenable situation on that so i'm concerned from the outset of what that was about weather was about spectacle or trying to move this matter forward on that. i'm also concerned that we are really dealing with an issue of law here as my colleague indicates. you are asking this group of mostly nonlawyers or if they are lawyers not necessarily constitutional lawyers to make a decision based on compensated legal questions and it's not as cut and dried as some might wish it were. there is opinion on both sides and we have had days in the interim where we have realized that the chairman is going to move in this direction to seek out some it buys and we got advice conflicting on both s

connolly: i thank the chairwoman. i thank my colleague. i thank the distinguished chairman of the committee as well. i want to talk about the federal information technology acquisition reform act that i am a co-author of with the distinguished chairman of the oversight and government reform committee, mr. issa. this is the most sweeping reform legislation since kwlinger-cohen. today federal i.t. acquisition, madam chairwoman, is a cumbersome bureaucratic and wasteful exercise. in recent decades taxpayers have been forced to foot the bill for massive i.t. failures that ring up staggeringly high cost and exhibit astonishingly poor performance. cost overruns plague the vast majority of the i.t. investments. while federal managers report that 47% of the budget is spent on maintain antiquated and inadequate i.t. platforms even today. the annual price tag of this wasteful spending is estimated $20 billion a year. the air force invested six years in a modernization after a cost of more than one billion, but failed to deliver a usable product, pro

connolly, i don't want to leave the impression that i think that u.s. international broadcasting should report to no one. i just don't think it should report to the state department. the challenge for this committee is going to be how to create the logical foreign policy anchor for international broadcasting within the foreign policy security community. my own view is this should be the national security council, but you to figure out what that connective tissue looks ike. that's -- oh, your question, if you're going to start over, what would you do? it is a no-brainer. if you were going to start over, you would create one organization. and i urge you to start over. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. >> will you allow mr. hirschberg -- >> yes. when i'm done. >> sure. >> i don't share enders view of having it go to the n.s.c. i do share -- i do believe that you should have an independent agency and entity no matter what you call it and if you have to rebrand something, which is clearly needed here, it ought to be rebranded. the b.b.g. really needs to

legislation we offered earlier this year supported by representatives conyers, coopers, defazio, connolly, waxman and supported by a variety of outside groups. we're trying to maintain an element of risk in farming again in a fiscally responsible manner by tightening up pams that we feel have become too excessive with the shifting of commodity money into the crop insurance category. we'd save over $11 billion over the next 10 grires doing the following. we call for a limit of federal crop insurance subsidies to $50,000 per farmer per year. currently there are no limit no, cap on the amount of taxpayer subsidies going to farm entities. last year alone over 26 entities received over $1 million in taxpayer premium subsidies alone. we think that's wrong and we're trying to correct that with this amendment. we extend the adjusted gross income limit to apply to crop insurance programs. the concept there is simple. if you're a farm entity with a gross profit of over a quarter million dollar, you really ought not still be receiving taxpayer subsidies. we are talking quarter of a million dollars o
