lucas: i would say, reclaiming my time, that the gentleman is right. s that dramatic reduction over what had been expected during the farm bill yet this $15 million will do tremendous work and it's allocated on a 65-35 cost basis. local and state government have to come up with a third of the money, more than a third of the money, to be able to implement these rehabilitation programs. for these few pennies, based on need, not anyone's political priorities but based on need. this is an exceptional program. i would ask my colleagues to turn back this amendment and yield back the balance of my time. the chair: who seeks time? seeing none, the question son the question offer -- the question son the amendment offered by the gentleman from georgia. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair the noes have it. the seament not agreed to. the clerk will read. the clerk: page 3, line 1, rural go rural development salaries and expenses including transfers of funds, $166,11,000. rural housing service. rural housing insurance fund program

lucas: this amendment would also effect the permanent disaster program. producers were required to purchase crop insurance to be eligible for that program. this amendment would be a bait and switch. they fulfilled their end of the bargain. but we're pulling the rug out from under them now. there's a time and a place to debate the appropriate level of support for farmers. i welcome that debate as a part of the 2012 farm bill process. which will in effect begin next week. the agriculture committee will be auditing farm programs for effectiveness and efficiency and then will input from across the country on the best way to support our farmers and ranchers while making good use of taxpayer dollars. discussing farm programs in the context of a farm bill will represent honest, transparent policymaking. this amendment prevents that discussion from taking place by altering the terms of the contracts with farmers once they've already been signed. protecting farmers during catastrophic weather events is the least we can do to maintain a stable food supply in our co

lucas: i rise to strike the requisite number of words. i rise in opposition to this amendment. and want to return a moment to the focus of the discussion and want to be clear. if this amendment passes, it will, it could insite a trade war. brazil could immediately impose, $800 million on tariffs on a variety of u.s. goods. i promise, they won't retaliate against u.s. agricultural products but other products like books, music and fill am. they will go after everybody outside of production agriculture with their $800 billion in tariffs. we can debate how we got here and our ranking member gave a good history of what led us to this point, but this amendment right here, right now, would expose the u.s. to job-killing sanctions on goods valid at $800 million. in 2010, the obama administration finalized a framework agreement with brazil that was a critical step in resolving this dispute in export credits. and yes, under the agreement, brazil agreed to delay trade retaliation until the 2012 farm bill was developed and put together. this amendment would circumvent the legislative proce

. >> reporter: eric kidbine can't believe the man he grew up with, 21-year-old lucas ebert, would evered up in posing as a doctor. no one was home at the portland house where ebert lived with his mother, until recently. a house eric says was anything but quiet. authorities say ebert first met with a female patient from ohsu here at the nearby va medical center. in an arrest affidavit, investigators say ebert instructed her to stop her medication, ibuprofen and anti-anxiety drugs which led to panic attacks and debilitating pain. ebert's facebook page claims he studied electrical engineering, law, and medicine at osu, psychology and business at the university of great falls, and went to grad school at uc san francisco for a doctorate in plastic surgery plus political science and law. on top of all that the page claims ebert was working for microsoft. when ebert failed to show for a meeting at ohsu last week the woman asked where her doctor was. ohsu started an investigation. have you ever had a case like this here? >> i have not come across a case like this. this is fairly unique. >> you
