i go there with the leahy war victims' fund. i'm proud that we can give them money but i wish there was absolutely no need for that fund. i visited, as i stated before, a young girl in a hospital after the bosnia war. parents sent her away so she could be safe. the war ends. the armies withdraw. peace is signed. she can come back. she runs down the road calling out to her parents and steps on a mine and loses both her legs. some safety. the war's over. combatants are not in danger. we recently sent people to that area of the world after flooding. why? because the thousands of land mines still on the ground are washed and moved around and schoolchildren now face the danger again. because even though they had mapped where the land mines were, that's where they were before the floods. now, as in the past, the white house hides behind the neglect of this area by pointing to north korea. well, who's not concerned about north korea? but are we so dependent on antipersonnel land mines we can't develop war plans for defending south kore

he promptly endorsed pat leahy, the democratic independent, who he was running against. on election night, senator leahy and fred tuttle had dinner together at fred tuttle's house. they reportedly shared milk and cookies together, and fred told all the reporters that actually he didn't even vote for himself, he voted for pat leahy and he hoped everyone else would too. so jack mcmullen was the zillionaire loser to fred tuttle, and that was not the world's most sequential shock, as reflected of the fact, there aren't many things checked off here. but, still, that was kind of amazing. six years later, it's 2004, senator thom dashel is the harry reid of his day. he's the majority leader for the democrats who control the united states senate. and in 2004, that's the night that george w. bush is re-elected of the united states, and that is the night that the senate majority leader loses his seat at home, to republican john thune, when took tom dashel's seat in the senate. tom dashel was an incumbent, he was very, very important, not only was he senate majority leader, he was w

i became the first leahy to get a college degree. my sister the second one. i think of all of you here today. some of you may be the first and your family to get one. this is a very special moment. now the question is, what do you make of it? a college education is far beyond the reach of millions of people your age. maybe even billions worldwide. in fact, we have been reminded in some countries, girls and women have no access to any formal education at any age. talk about a violation of human rights. it may seem remarkable in the 21st century when you and i can use our smartphones to download information, girls in northern nigeria are kidnapped and may be sold as property because they dared to seek an education. in other words, a school that taught something different than the distorted version of an ancient religion. we know there are countries in south asia, schools have been burnt to the ground and girls and young women killed just for seeking an education. it seems impossible when you sit here today in vermont, this very special jewel of a state, and thi

i am speaking of sensenbrenner and leahy.ike to make a few observations about why that is the way it is. partisanship is not enough. there is a theory that partisan self-interest can serve as a vehicle for legislative reform. when one party controls the white house and the other controls congress, whatever -- they are going to be selfish and want to nail the other guy. so they are going to go all-out in order to change things so they can really stick it to them. that is not what has happened. no matter what party is in party , the the white house intelligence community usually gets what it wants. russall this in 2009 with feingold trying to pass reforms that were very similar to what ensign brenner and leahy came up .ith in october last year congress was controlled by democrats, democrats in the house and senate. did not evenforms survive the judiciary committee. he joked and called it the prosecutors committee. he said he was scratching his head as to how a committee controlled by a democratic margin could support the bill.

and pat leahy says we have convicted 500 people in civilian courts it is very curious.s well of us that we are making distinction that the authorization of use of military force does not cover this person because certain connections have not been established between him and other entities, therefore, he could not be attacked and killed, the therefores continue. but we don't know what the answer is yet. but, again, i think it speaks rather well of us that we are asking the questions. >> quickly, charles. you know, a lot of people are calling for him to go to gitmo. we saw that report tonight. they do have it pretty good there with the healthcare and everything else. >> it's the slowest of all boats. that's the point of gitmo. at some point the boat arrives in new york and the questioning ends. he gets a fancy lawyer. a nice comfy suite and we never hear another word again. there are bad guys out there in north africa. he knows a lot of them. we have to know a lot about them. stick them in gitmo and question them for a year or two or three if you have to. >> that is it fo

leahy: mr. president? the presiding officer: the president pro tempore is recognized. hay lay mr. president, there isn't a -- mr. leahy: mr. president, there isn't a quorum call. the presiding officer: we are not in a quorum call. mr. leahy: i thank the chair. following the resignation of secretary shinseki last week, it really is time for some deep soul-searching for the department ofuture ofthe departs affairs. i'm struck by disturbing aspect of organizational culture within the v.a., prioritizing meeting goals and checking boxes instead of providing true quality care for veterans. secretary shinseki himself was a decorated veteran, and i'm sure he must be as frustrated as all of us to find some of the things that were happening. so overwhelming rushing toward the path of least resistance for reporting care for the men and women who served this nation admirably and with dedication. we shouldn't lose sight of the hard work and commitment of the many men and women working in the v.a. system ever

in a letter to senator leahy, the president wrote the action is pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct u.s. foreign relations and as commander in chief and chief executive. as for the embassy itself, it is still open. the state department has said it has had to restrict some surfaces and some nonessential staff have been moved out. meanwhile, president obama continues to consider whether to take up more aggressive action, including some form of air strikes, be they from actual jet fighter or drones. he met with the security team last night, everyone from the vice president to the defense secretary and the attorney general. meanwhile, former secretary of state hillary clinton continues to weigh in, on her book tour, supporting the president's decision to call for political reform as a prerequisite for any u.s. military help. >> i have made clear that i would not support any effort by the united states to back up his government unless the conditions we have been asking for, for a number of years, were finally met. >> on monday, secretary of state kerry's deputy, bill burns, me

there are some obstacles, the leahy moment, it's well intentioned and i support it, the vetting processrsome when whole units are disqualified from being trained. we're doing about a battalion, 600 plus soldiers but they need far more than that. two weeks ago i had a hearing, ambassador said this is going to be a long war. they are growing in their intensity not unlike what we're seeing in iraq right now with this move on baghdad. they want to move on abuj ja, the capital of nigeria and just recently set off bombs there and i was in in jost last september where large numbers of churches were fire bombed and people were slaughtered. the world community is mobilizing and the british just held a very important conference so intelligence sharing -- and i was at the fusion center in abuja, where u.s. and u.k. and france are working side by side with intelligence officers in the nigerian military and the training for counter insurgency and has to be done with extreme urgency and vetting to ensure those we train are human rights advocates rather than people who commit atrocities themselves. >>

senator patrick leahy said in a statement, withholding military aid to the egyptian regime has let its leaders know that repressive actions and abuses of human rights and the rule of law are deeply concerning to the american people and to many in congress. the united states gives about $1.3 billion a year in military aid to egypt, plus another $200 million in economic and democracy building assistance. >>> on this day in the year 1950, the u.s. men's soccer team shocked the sports world with an enormous upset over england in world cup. the u.s. went to brazil with a roster of mostly amateur players. the team included a dishwasher, a mail man, a teacher and a mill worker. their english opponents were professional players known at the time as the kings of football. but on game day, the u.s. scored just before halftime and fought off each of england's advances to come out on top, 1-0. u.s. soccer got its miracle on the green 64 years ago today. >>> when news breaks out, we'll break in. but tomorrow between noon eastern and 2:00 eastern, this enormous wall will be filled with world cup soc

rights reboot act introduced by your colleagues, congressman john conyers as well as senator patrick leahy of wisconsin. what chance does that bill have of even getting to the floor of the house? >> i think it has a really good chance. as you look at the bill today, there are more than 120 democrats on the bill. there are also republicans on the bill. mr. sensenbrenner says he's committed to making it happen. but i think the thing that's really going to make it happen is when the american people understand that democracy means doing the will of the people. they need to let their voices be heard as well as i think that just as you're doing this program today, the media needs to not give them a pass. they need to press them on bringing it to the floor. >> and congresswoman sanchez, i think one of the big compromises made in the bill was to take voter i.d. out of it and put it to the side. that was done, obviously, to get republicans on board. if more republicans are not coming on board and you don't feel that the bill is advancing as quickly as it needs to, does it make sense to continue to

. >> thank you, senator leahy. appreciate your invitation to appear here today. the description of the constitutional amendment that is before you today states in its text edit quote relates to the contributions and expenditures intended to affect elections, unquote. that's one way to safety. i think it would've been more defeat revealing to say that it actually relates to speech intended to affect elections. i think it would be even more accurate to say that it relates to limited speech intended to affect elections, and that's the core problem with it. it is intended to limit speech about elections and it would to just adapt. to start at the beginning, this has been said before, it is worth repeating, no ruling providing first amendment protection has ever been reversed by a constitutional amendment. no ruling by the supreme court, no speech that the supreme court has concluded warranted first amendment protection has ever been transformed i a constitutional amendment into becoming unprotected speech, and thus subject to criminal sanctions. think about we protec
