so i'll only mention that i'm grateful to the leadership of the house, the chairman and ranking member of the ways and means committeeand the finance committee, and of course leader mcconnell. many others made immense contributions. thank you also to congressional staff, you were magnificent for two years. finally, and i apologize for the length of my remarks, i want to show my appreciation to the inspiring men and women of ustr as well as the departments of commerce, agriculture, treasury, labor, transportation, e.p.a., and other agencies that worked so hard. these people worked tens of thousands of hours for two-plus years, many going home at 2:00 and 3:00 in the morning or not at all. chief among the leaders of this effort is my deputy ambassador c.j. mahoney. since his confirmation two years ago, he has worked continuously on this effort day and night and seven days a week. thank you also, ambassador dowd, our agriculture negotiating, and the long suffering jamison greer who has the task of being my chief of staff. as i said 16 months ago, thank you also jared kushner, my friend and partner, for all your work and

couple of things that are too far. 90% of what he proposed was in the bill house ways and means and energy commerce committeen amendment when we debated speaker pelosi's bill. host: we will go to john, democratic caller. guest: i would like to know if you were successful in stopping insurance, will that also cover noncustodial parents ordered by the court to insuranceheir medical . if it is not available through employer, they have to pay for medicaid? are you going to declare all of us citizens of the united states covered by the constitution? of theall citizens united states are covered by the constitution. custodial arrangements are deadly set forth in the court papers -- generally set forth in the court papers, in the divorce requirements. there are plenty of places where there are -- there is room for improvement. he did not state what his problem was. his representative for the house or one of his united states senators can do a constituent inquiry on his behalf. we do that sort of stuff all the time in my office. sometimes we are successful and sometimes we are not. in a complicated case, rather than

yield to one of the senior members of the house of representatives, the dean of the massachusetts delegation, and the chairman of the ways and means committee who, as i said earlier, is as knowledgeable about tax policy and its consequences as anybody in this house, mr. neal from massachusetts. mr. neal: let me thank the majority leader for organizing this special order. but it's also an opportunity to call attention to some of the suggestions that have been made by this president and this white house as to the economic growth that he claims credit for. so on the day that barack obama became president, america was losing 800,000 jobs a month. when barack obama left the white house, there were 14.3 million new jobs that had been created. that's a real turn-about. this notion that there was this dismal economy that president trump inherited is simply not true. so let's even go back to the end of the clinton years, which despite what president trump says, the greatest economic growth spurt in american history took place during bill clinton's presidency. plus, four balanced budgets. so when bill clinton said good-bye to the country, we were sta

. >> caller: i have been following whe when it was in the house, and the way shift ran that whole committee, was just totally unfair. i mean the republicans did not have a preachers prayer in the house. they were rude to him, they did not have one witness that was not a hearsay witness. there was no concrete evidence to start with. but yet they kept pushing, kept pushing to impeach the president. i will say one thing, i have seen presidents from eisenhower to trump, and trump has been the most -- best president that we have had. and he thanks more like the american people think. why are we giving all of this age to these countries without questioning? and when he goes to questioning it upsets people. and it upsets people because i think personally, that money is going there, but it's coming back. :. >> it ended may 261858 busting a total of 83 days. he was not convicted by one vote to stay as president of the united states and bill clinton was impeached the trial begin january 7th, 1999. wrapped up every 12, 1999 lasting a total of 37 days. joining us from new orleans the democrat of maryland making his way back. >> thank
