we are also very excited to finally address longstanding problem that larsen park where there has not been any adequate playground for many years. we have some funding to continue our work with irrigation. this is important for water savings and it is a staff of efficiency measure. our irrigation systems, many of which are 70 years old or older. two-thirds of our system is operated on manual irrigation. when they break, it costs money and time. frankly, we want to move from manual watering to automated irrigation so we no longer have to have our precious few gardeners holding a host they attach manually from quick coupler to quick coupler. we're happy about that and we have some need to do court resurfacing. you asked for information on two specific issues one is job creation. we are particularly proud about this. we talked a lot about our apprenticeship program. we hire kids during the summer. i know the learning celebration is going on right now but we hired over 200 kids to be junior and assistant counselor at the summer. it is a partnership that we are proud of and the kids have b

the first one up is kirk larsen. >> thank you, mayor, supervisors, and elected officials for coming out here. i am a resident of district two. i also work for a dish, delivering innovation in support of housing. we manage six buildings of supportive housing for homeless individuals through the department of public health's direct access to housing program. and to take the supervisors and mayor's comments earlier to heart and think about priorities and investment, i am here to ask that the city consider very carefully making a historic and significant step backwards from investment in a supportive housing, which is a proven solution to homelessness, a solution that this city pioneered and has made progress on for many years. right now there are 109 units at two of the buildings that we manage better proposed to be cut, and those are going to be taking 109 units of supportive housing off the market. so that is an investment that the city has already made for many years, the buildings have been going on for 10 to 15 years. all those investments and renovations and making the buildings nice

larsen. mr. larsen: i rise to support the passage of my bill and urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this measure. i thank chairman hastings and the ranking members for their help in getting this bill to the floor. i have the honor of representing one of the most scenic parts of the state, washington's second district. also home to some of the best fishing in the country, both commercialally and recreationally. salmon stocks are beginning to recover. part of the reason this is happening is that we have begun to protect places that are important for fish habitat. when we protect these places, we protect the jobs that come from the fishing industry. this is a catalyst to introducing the legislation before us. the creek travels from glash year park wilderness area falling 7,000 feet. the war of the illabot provides conditions for the salmon and bull trout, all species listed as threatened. this legislation will designate 14.43 miles as wild and scenic protecting these species while ensuring hunti

when we talk about this, wisconsin democratic state senator chris larsen is on the ground in milwaukee. he joins us with more insight. it's good to have you here. the crowds as we see. how important is it to have a major figure in your party rallying the troops before tuesday's election? >> i think it brings a lot of attention to how important this election is. this is going to be the last major election before the presidential election in november. all eyes of wisconsin is on this. all eyes across the country are on this. i plan on walking over there right after this. >> as you say all eyes on the country. president obama will be in minnesota, as i mentioned, later this hour. but he'll be in illinois for a fund-raiser. two neighboring states. but not putting foot on the soil. what's your reaction? >> i think obama for america, his organizing group has been stepping up and helping organize people in wisconsin. as much as people on the left want obama in the state, people on the the right want them here more. he wants to make the fight about obama. this is a wisconsin fight. it's about

larsen was in that same position when he scrambled on to a mound of earth to draw the attention of the machine guns and other members of his platoon could flee to safety. a real test is when you are flying a medevac helicopter in thick jungle fog in close range enemy fire trying to rescue fellow soldiers. in january of 1968, major general patrick brady flew in these conditions and despite the 400 blow holes found in helicopters flew that day, he was able to rescue more than 50 men. a real test is when infantry commander closes the landings and to any further operations because of the intensity of heavy fire, but you know american forces are in desperate need of ammunition and aid. and these circumstances, colonel bruce crandall made flights delivering ammunition and evacuating wounded men. a real test is when despite not having slept for 36 hours, you and your men are loaded into a landing craft, said down river to join and tense battle. colonel j. vargas, in this situation, managed to carry fellow marines through hundreds of yards of intense enemy fire to get them to a safe evacuation

larsen: mr. speaker, i rise today to oppose the rule because we are set to adjourn this week without finishing critical work on transportation. we need a long-term surface transportation bill that puts americans back to work. mr. speaker, this house only builds roads in order to find ways -- in order to find cans to kick down those roads. we cannot have a big league economy with little league infrastructure in this country. we need a long-term investment to repair our roads, bridges and highways and to maintain our transit systemless. leaders of our country have always recognized this fact. three years after lewis and clark left for the west president jefferson secured funding for the cumberland road. if jefferson recognized the importance of transportation in linking this country, uniting the states in a shared economy and trade, surely we can show that same recognition today by staying here to ensure that the work of job creation is done. the question before us is whether this body recognizes t

. >> lars larsen is a syndicated talk show host. is this out of context or not. >> out of context if you look at the entirety of what jay carney said he was talking about. the president, since his first day in office has said, any time we have any gains, this is good, it's not happening as quickly as we would like and we have a long way to go. certainly we know the private sector isn't fine but you can't disregard this year alone over 800,000 jobs created in the private sector. we are loving in the right direction, albeit slowly. shannon: hr-rs? >> i've got to tell you something. it's completely in context that the president doesn't have any touch with reality. he says the private sector is just fine and he followed that with a sentence where he said, it's the people in the public sebter we need to worry about. no we don't. as you just pointed out they make a whole lot more money than the average american who pays their salary and expects them to serve the public. the private sector employment is down along ways. public sector emplo

lars larsen. a whole host of dynamic patriots. we are so excited to have them here. host: stand to lose california. -- los angeles, california. caller: it is hard to believe what you say because when people ask about the kich brothers -- brothers, they have started this organization. you cannot say they have not given money personally. awhen you bring up the drudge report, fox news, those are the most of rage as programs to watch and to get your information from. there was a study done that the people who watch fox news have less intelligence than the people who do not watch news at all. guest: i enjoy fox news. i enjoy msnbc. and chris matthews. and fox news, cnn. you have to watch a variety of news channels. c-span with pedro. i am thinking also many people are watching this morning and learning about the issues. so, you have to be educated. that is what americans for prosperity does. we educate citizens. activists. individuals. in order to get the most dynamic amount of resources, you have to watch everything. msnbc, c-span, cnn, fox. i encourage every individual

larsen from connecticut for five minutes. >> thank you, chairman and again i want to commend you andmr. tiberi for the spirit and by partisanship which this is held to really have the recent opportunity about a year ago to travel to china and got in a heated debate, one that this committee is familiar with about the china currency and also the trade disparity that exists between the countries. and a former ambassador made the point and said how many people do you think we have lifted out of poverty in china and i didn't know to be honest. it was around 320 million which is the entire population of the united states. they were able to do so by investing in their infrastructure. to prove that point we drove them beijing to lower montpelier and witnessed all the investment in infrastructure. i raise this point because dr. bernstein you're point about the adequacy of jobs, and after all the discussion about the marginal tax rates and incentives versus the disincentives, fundamentally people weren't going to be able to work if jobs are not available to them. so, while there has been much

larsen: and bolsters the necessary changes taking place in health care today. now we must keep medicare sustainable and affordable by closing the prescription drug doughnut hole and cracking down on fraud. now we must make sure middle class families have diverse options for high quality affordable health care. now we must ensure that we meet the needs of northwest washington state seniors, veterans, and families. northwest washington has already seen improvement. seniors in the second district saved more than $800 on prescription medication sews far this year. more than 173,000 people in northwest washington state have health insurance that covers preventive care without co-pays or deductibles. it is time to move forward on health care and today america took a great step. i yield back my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina seek recognition? >> i ask permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman ask for unanimous consent? >> yes. >> the gentleman is recognized for one min

larsen: the transportation bill will do more to create jobs through public investment than any other piece of legislation that this house has passed in the last 18 months. it puts thousands to works repairing roads, bridges and highways and maintaining our transit systems. second, this bill creates opportunity for the future by stopping a devastating interest rate hike on loans students take to pay for college. college affordability is a necessary step for creating opportunity for the future. the bill sends a clear message to college students everywhere, that america will invest in you. with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? mr. poe: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. poe: mr. speaker, here's what the people of texas think of the supreme court's ruling on obamacare. jason from kingwood, texas, says this. now that the supreme court has deemed every action of congress that i
