and by the way, elijah cummings didn't say that.itnesses that darrell issa called to be interviewed said that. >> of course. but congressman, mr. issa knew that because he read the transcripts and deliberately provided only excerpts so that the deceit could continue in the public arena. that was why he did it. >> and that's why keep in mind, i mean, till this moment, martin, chairman issa still has not talked about or mentioned to my knowledge, the republicans self-proclaimed conservative republican who said that it was his idea to even look with scrutiny at these applications. now, this is another thing that's going on here, too. i hear a lot of criticism about the what has happened with regard to conservatives. and when i first heard about this, martin, an irs selecting these files, these conservative files, i was outraged. but i'm also, it's interesting you don't hear this when it comes to progressive be files. in other words, i'm concerned about progressives and conservatives being treated fairly. and we don't hear that same out

cummings: mr. speaker, you know, as i've listened to all of these arguments, i cannot help but think about the many employees that we see every day, the hardworking employees who give their blood, sweat and tears to keeping our country together. and when we talk about our senior executives, i remind this body of something that mr. hoyer talked about and that is under current law, senior -- statutory be list of reasons for which actions may be taken against senior executives cover a broad variety of situations. they are adequate to deal with the problems that we are addressing today. senior executives suspected of criminal activity may already be removed or placed on indefinite suspension without pay. . . . rather than deprive employees of their due process. d i know, mr. moran, you are right. there has been a relentless attack on federal employees. the fact is that they are in the third year of pay freezes. they have been asked to pay more for their pensions and get less. we constantly here of nega

it took stephanie cummings nearly two years to finally land a job.she had a narrow specialization in a tight job market. "a lot of people wanted me to have experience. it's been very hard." cummings' employer says the key was more than technical knowledge. "she wrote well and communicated well. that's important dealing with clients." it's not to say technical expertise isn't required - it is. but now, employers, expecially small consulting firms, are looking to add technicians with skills often associated with customer service. "i think employers want employees who can problem-solve on their own - employees who'll take the ball and run with it." "my resume was all customer service, and it helped me get the position." payroll processor adp reports businesses added 200,000 jobs in july, exceeding exstimates by 20,000. mark zandi, chief economist at moody's analytics, says "job growth remains remarkably stable." the labor department's july numbers will be out tomorrow. the stubbornly high unemployment in the eurozone is improving... slightly. the number

cummings: before i yield to mr. connolly, let me just say this, and i yield myself such time as i may consume. the lauderville case, the supreme court, which mr. lynch cited, says that the employee must be given notice before they're fired and an opportunity to respond. this bill basically -- you're fired and then you appeal, trying to get your job back. so you don't really truly have notice. and so, as pursuant to that case . i grant to mr. connolly of virginia three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia is recognized for three minutes. mr. connolly: thank you, madam speaker, and i thank my friend from maryland. you know, the distinguished manager on the other side of this bill says you're entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts. in taking to task my friend from massachusetts, mr. lynch, in th and i've got the bill in front of me and it says that at least 30 days advance written notice stating specific reasons for the proposed action, that is to say the removal or suspension of a

remember there was that back and forth between cummings and issa where cummings says you have to give the information. because once we saw all the information, we found out things like essentially it was a reagan appointee who thought he was doing this kind of targeting with the right thing to do. why? because of citizens united. and that a lot of the groups they looked at were in violation of the law. joy's right. they've been trying to accuse this president of overreach and abuse of power. when you've got dick cheney questioning your integrity, you know you're doing something right. >> and when you have the comparisons to watergate, i mean, when you are just overreaching in your criticism, fine. we all have our political views. but comparing to watergate, something that was outright proven and criminal, to something that you are speculating that maybe some -- >> to doing overly open work. you have groups accepted bing out mitt romney literature and wanting tax exemptions. the irs was just doing their job. i always thought this was a phony scandal in i do want the irs to double check

. >> what about the letter that -- or the op ed piece by elijah cummings, they claim this is political? >> i was embarrassed for them. they have served for a long time in congress, they should be embarrassed. i mean, we don't know the extent of all of this, we do know this. we know that on the basis of search words, 19 liberal groups had their applications pulled for additional scrutiny. of those, six were turned down, and 13 were approved. we also know that in the same time frame involving the same process, 292 conservative groups had their applications pulled. and we know that during the same time frame, none of them were turned down, and none of them were approved. now, why is that important? because those six liberal groups that were disallowed had a chance to appeal, they had a chance to sit down with the irs and say, what are your issues and how can we go about answering your questions and getting it approved. 13 were approved, 292 conservative groups were simply held in abeyance, which -- >> i know, that's terrible. >> so the -- my point is, elijah cummings and levin say there's

cummings and my question is directed to mr. turner. earlier this evening you said that during the sanitation strike and the march in 63 that there were people who try to discourage and try to stop you or just did not join you. what advice would you give to someone like myself and others that are trying to make positive change right now? what advice would you give to us in dealing with people that try to discourage you, that don't want to do combat that don't want to jump on the obvious bandwagon for change? >> the first thing you have to do at these things is get with them and show them the treatment that they have received is just unfair to them as it is to you. show these people that they are being misused. this is the step that we took in 1960, and 33 out of 1300 went on strike. what we did, can't it took us from 1960 until 68 so it took us eight years to get with these other people and show them how they had been mistreated. they were mistreated the same way as we were. we got to them and show them that they were mistreated and on

and i'm delighted to say that joining us now is elijah cummings of maryland.ood afternoon, martin. >> is the legacy over or will congress eventually honor the fight of miss parks and so many others? >> i believe that congress will. i was more pessimistic a few weeks ago, but i've seen the movement of people like john lewis, congressman louis, congressman sensenbrenner from the republican side, my good friend the whip, mr. clyburn and others who are coming together and others on the senate side coming together to do what the supreme court said must be done. and that is to come up with a new formula and backing for it for that seconds 4 that they found unconstitutional. let me say this. you talked about rosa parks, martin. she took along with martin luther king and many others, took a moment and turned it into a movement. i'm so afraid right now with that shelby case in the supreme court, i think they pushed us back a good distance because we saw last year during the presidential election, we saw one of the greatest efforts to stop people from voting, people of
