lynch was interesting. mr. denim was talking about the audit that was beg done and he deputy underistant secretary if we were going to get that list and theres with a and a cautiousness. i know your hearts are in the right place. rob race is holding you back. i can't imagine a world, dr. lynch, where you would let someone in a bureaucracy not get thatenim or myself information, why you wouldn't have again out on a limb and theyi'll get it and if don't like it, too bad. and that mentality gets us to today, because what we're all trying to do is solve this problem to provide timely quality care for our veterans. and everyone gets that, the you, us.ind me, but the problem is no competent leader is going to formulate a course of action with all perfect tin en data and i was that the naive impression our oversight response is when spp i for a very narrow was under the impression this is what this would look like. say from go back and this date to this date, print there mighthought be a bunch of interns taking e-mail

lynch >> mr. jolly you are recognized for five minutes. >> i want to associate my remarks with those of mr. walls. i think you're hearing tonight a frustration of the members here because we do have an article i authority to ask the questions but our frustration is rooted in the fact that while we conduct the necessary oversight as part of our article i responsibility we continue to hear the weightless and know that there are weightless. and we are held accountable for that from our constituents. it's not really a remarkable process that our constituents hold us responsible for weightless creative type the administration. that's probably fair because we have to execute our responsibility. we have the privilege of living outside the beltway and working inside the beltway so we do hear stories from within our own community that are personal. we hear of delays in medical care. i had a gold star mamba came up to me on memorial day. she believes that her son took his life because of a the lack of timel

on black culture life as certain person's would make something of a trend out of things as bad as lynching photographs. there were mobs of racist americans who captured those moments in photographs but circulated them and some of the circulation happened through the united states postal services, sadly. but it was a thing that showed both the ways in which african-americans utilized photography to good aspirational end and in ways in which they were often the objects of other's misuse of photography. >> host: who is jp ball? >> guest: he is one of several prominent african-american photographers. we hear a lot about african-americans as the subjects of photograph. probably not enough, but we mother a good amount. -- hear -- and thanks to the contributitors we get to see a little but we know little about the professional operators. bolt was one of the more successful african-american photographers from the 19th century. a good deal of his subject matter took place outwest and that helped the nation imagine what a westward expansion looked like that would include african-americans in it. but

lynch spent a lot of time, and i didn't plan on having this be a lynch/issa.ut it looks like it will be. he spent a lot of time bashing steel containers. from a factual standpoint, isn't it true that 91 million homes do not receive in the door delivery while 37.8 million, plus or minus, do? that that's the curb/cluster, including apartment and condo owners all over america, rural delivery and so on. but 91 million, plus or minus, do not get it to their door while only 37.8 million do? >> yes. i agree that that's the ratio. actually, i -- >> it's amazing for that ratio of more than 2 out of every 3 who are already part of the savings of not having to walk all the way to the door, simply less labor. that's been proven and calculated both by the post office and cbo, that labor savings for one-third, less than one-third of americans is billions of dollars. and ultimately, question for you. those billions of dollars per year scored at just our modest 15 million, less than half of those being converted, is scored at over $20 billion in savings in cost to the post of

jessica lynch, a rescuer died. he was 49 years old and johnathon hunt has more on his truly incredible story. >> reporter: this was a true command hero. martin was awarded the bronze star with valor. three bronze star medals and a purple heart and a host of accommodations. they were awarded for their role in the rescue of jessica lynch. he is the soldier with his back to the camera and then as you look at video from the night april onest of 2003. he was one of the leaders and one of his friends, a fellow army ranger told us that he personally handed jessica lynch over for the helicopter that flew her to safety. that friend never asked for a thank you and he returned to the compound by the way to secows secure nine other americans. >> & he was injured in duty. and he was transported to san antonio military medical center and survived a week there and succumbed to his wounds. she appeared to have heard about his death via fox news and replied to her own twitter account. sorry to hear this. rip in sergeant perars. he

lynch. i know with you talked a earlier about the private sector but what challenge are you seeing and what are you doing in terms of veterans hiring veterans doing whatever you can that's working? >> sure. thank you. we heard what the challenges are. there's a lack of preparedness. we know about the stigma. there's an ongoing stigma. we end up trying to make veterans fit our structure and we're trying to recognize that that doesn't work and bend our structure to the way they think and act. it requires, let's take hiring. it requires a different approach. now, one -- my example might be internships so if you're going to try to get an internship on a firm like marle lynch or bank of america is very competitive. the way that we go after the most talented folks the veterans is we created a different internship track that allow them the access and the exposure to see what life is like. so they get sort of a no-risk free look at what a career might look like. the onboarding process is different a

also joining us is the head of merrill lynch wealth management. we talked earlier about the private sector. ?hat challenges are you seeing what are you doing in terms of hiring veterans? doing what you can that is working? >> we heard what the challenges are. a lack of preparedness, the stigma, ongoing commitments to the guard and the reserve -- we design benefits based on people who do not always look like returning veterans. maked up trying to veterans fit our structure and what we're trying to do as an organization is recognize that to bends not work -- our structure to the way they work and think and act. it requires a different approach. my example might be internships. if you're going to try to get an internship from a firm like marilyn for bank of america, it is very competitive. mostay we go after the talented folks, the veterans, we created a different internship track. them a noll -- allow risk, free look at what a career might look like. the on boarding process is different as we bring our veterans in. just about how they are going to t

they were sent by people that are at the lynchings back to their relatives as if they missed a great deal tranten and had described what they had seen some time scotch tape fingernails fingernails, hair singed were taped onto the postcard for a photograph of a african-american person hates being from a tree. horrible stuff. >> host: given what you just said, can you then justify it reaction to that political terrorism of the jim crow era from african-americans? >> guest: again to try to rectify one way or another it is a massive environment of courageous behavior so it seems to me now in retrospect. it is understandable that violent actions provoked violent reactions. i understand it. i don't justify it but i understand it. >> host: terrorism has been part of the american experience? >> even before that. i hope this is what you ask about is the episode euphemistically referred to as the native american removal which has its origins prior to the revolutionary war but in a sense flowers under president jackson from terrorism and a democracy to talk about registers of this phenomenon. b

joining me now is andy lynch. great to have you with us.big you see this kind of deal getting done, what do you make of it? this is political and economic theater, isn't it? >> it is. we saw yesterday that it was a foot back to the roman days of bread and circuses. people being thrown to the lions on a regular basis. as far as theater, an important story going on. as technology gets more and more complicated, you need more and more scale to exploit that technology efficiently. that is the story behind the deal. economy develops, we are going to see more and more stories -- companies trying to get industrial in fish and -- efficient so they can offer trains or powerplants cheaper, which is good news for us. >> when i look at sectors and industry, depending on what you want to say, quid pro quo from what you just said. as a longer-term investment, are those areas for me to consider? >> i think they are very good arguments for that particular you combine it with the big legacies that are dominating global discord. -- discourse. climate change.

artist merrill lynch do away with the stereotypes? >> first of all, we know communicating with a lot of people is very hard. not everybody will hear what i say. one of the things specifically we've identified as a program called the conscious bias, which we all carry with us, that sounds like this really desperate in this category that we all walk around with tidbits, and he states that we file away. and so come you've got to be aware of it. so we are taking our leadership team through this. this would be in the category of it. but i think it's education. are present pushed it for me helps me because he taught about diabetes. my aunts suffered from it. she went to a lot of diabetic, the rent of any system i worked with had severe childhood diabetes. one day she went into a coma and i recognized it. i think about that as they work issue. she has no credible leadership organization, but why is it any different? the statistics you share about head injury and posttraumatic stress isn't unique to combat. it's unique to life. that education

who has something to do with the merrill lynch. >> guest: yes, he's son of the founder of merrill lynch, son of charles merrill. and, of course, one of america's greatest poets. c-span: is he still alive? >> guest: no, he died--oh, seven or eight years ago. c-span: and what was his memoir? >> guest: his memoir is called "a different person." it's one of my favorites, first of all, because he's a great writer; secondly, because it describes the life of a young man, who's gay, coming to terms with his sexuality. and it's a story of his struggle to become a mature person and to somehow escape from being the child of so enormously a--successful a man and yet respect and admire what his father does. so it's beautifully written. he has a wonderful talent for prose. there's a wonderful passage in it in which he describes being in rome with his father, who's going for an audience with the pope. and his father sets out in the morning dressed in an absolutely white silk suit, so charles merrill greets the pope clad in the same color. and james merrill describes it as a confluence of jupiter and s

naacp chapters in the south here in mobile and kind of quietly went about the business of opposing lynchings and pursuing the right to vote, pursuing the desegregation of buses and public accommodations and mostly he did it through negotiation and lawsuits and that kind of thing less like demonstrations and confrontation. he found a few moderate wide allies in mobile who would sort of medium part way and so that he came can kind of the mobile story although there was a lot beneath that apparent progress where there was still a lot of hard-core segregation and some pretty hard racial attitudes. so it took a while for all that to play out. there were people going way back to mobile in trying to get things started earlier. john hewlett became the first african-american sheriff in lowndes county alabama. lowndes county was arguably the toughest county in alabama in terms of its resistance to civil rights. it was the county that the selma montgomery -- took place in lowndes county. selma is in dallas county in the next 50 miles of the march was through lowndes county before you go to montgomery a

the most successful, the dire anti-lynching bill introduced by missouri republican l.c. dire. after nearly a decade of aggressive lobbying by the naacp and citizen-led efforts throughout the nation and reporting by courageous black journalists in the south, the bill passed the house of representatives in 1922 and the bill proposed prison sentences and steep fines for those who participated in lynching. if passed into law, this bill would have forced the federal government to assume responsibility for human rights violations occurring in the south. the bill was fierce leo posed by southern democrats and died on the senate floor. in june, 2005, the u.s. senate reversed this shameful history and apologized for its decades of inaction. the resolution was jointly proposed and shepherded through to passage by two southern senators, louisiana democrat mary landrieu and virginia republican george allen. >> the senate's role, as you know we stated all day, is the senate is uniquely culpable in the sense that the house passed resolutions three times, strong resolutions against lynching.

and meryl lynch. i know we talk -- and merrill lynch, i know we talked earlier about the private sector, but what challenges are you seeing and what are you doing in terms of hiring veterans, doing whatever you can that's working? >> sure, thank you. we heard what the challenges are. there's a lack of preparedness, we know about the stigma. there's ongoing commitment to the guard and reserve. we design -- every corporation designs benefits based on people who don't always look like returning veterans. you've got to -- we end up trying to make veterans fit our structure and what we're trying to do as an organization is recognize that that doesn't work. like wayne has, we bend our structure to fit them. it requires a different approach. one example might be internship. if you're going to try to get an internship at a firm like merrill lynch or bank of merck, it's very competitive. the way we go after the most talented folks, the veterans, is we created a different internship track that will be held off

this is not a lynch mob.ed, this is a look that we've had at this department for quite sometime. our organization called for him to step down for over a year. this is a department that doesn't answer questions from congress, doesn't answer questions from the media and shuts down whistle-blowers and stone walls those trying to provide oversight and doesn't provide timely care and scandals of secret lists. he calls them isolated incidents. frankly, unfortunately, it was embarrassing testimony today and i think the manifestation of bu bureaucracy, a change at the top is needed and a change throughout is needed. >> colonial, i want to give you a chance to respond but i want to read to you from a republican out of cancer kns not happy with the testimony today. he said what we've learned is the secretary has had access to dozens of ig reports, congressional inquiries, inputs from the american legion and indicated in his testimony that he didn't know that much about the content in those reports. what do you make of

lynch last night, it was apparent when he went to phoenix he thought it could be swept under the rug.king the appropriate questions of people, who destroyed the lists? they didn't do that. they were supposed to bring us information about the list. he was not able to answer a single question we asked. >> you're still waiting for documents, mr. chairman. what is the next step? >> we do continue to wait for documents even though the office of general counsel said they had complied totally with the subpoena with a cover letter. i threatened legal action, and joint mely, my ranking member and i are going to put out a release that basically says by the time we return back from the break we don't have 100% of the items we have asked for we're going to petition the federal court to force the department of veterans affairs to provide the information that we're asking for. they are stonewalling us. and have been doing that for several years. >> congressman miller, i appreciate you being on again. drew griffin, as well, david gergen, as well. >>> coming up, the young man who survived the rampage

lynch: thank you very much. before i get started, i just want to join the chorus here and congratulate chairman wolf on his remarkable career as the leader here in this congress and as someone who has worked diligently on behalf of his constituents, but also in a way that i think has reflected greatly on this body. i think that the work product in this bill produced by chairman wolf and ranking member fattah is a wonderful example of the possibilities when people work together. mr. chairman, my amendment -- madam chairman, my amendment would increase by $3 million the amount appropriated for fiscal year 2015 for the drug courts program. the $3 million added to the drug courts program will be offset by decreasing by $3 million the amount appropriated for funding for the international trade administration. madam chair, the drug addiction in the united states is at an epidemic level. to call it otherwise grossly understates the problem. this epidemic affects every city and town across america and cuts across every

lynch, your opening statement, please. >> thank you, mr. chairman. want to thank you first of all for holding this hearing for postal products in the united states. to think our panel of witnesses and innovative individuals for helping the subject of work. in november 2013 the postal service with online retailer, amazon.com to test on a package delivery in select markets. otherwise known a seven day delivery. the amazon pilot program is proven by the successful and is the primary reason why the postal service has recently demonstrated the ability to grow revenue in the face of the most difficult initial conditions. in its quarterly financial report released on a night of this year, the agent recorded a revenue increase of $379 million over the same reporting period last year. his third straight quarter of revenue growth due in large part to 252 million or an 8% increase in shipping a package revenue. in light of these results, we are now expanding to several other cities across the country and the agent is working to establish similar partnerships wi

i always ask those who are crying to lynch general shinseki, who is he replacing? who even wants this thankless job? people generalize and say we need to bring in an outside experts. who. give me who. name names. that's the other thing megyn that really bothers me about a list. on both sides of the aisle i am hearing outrage some sincere some mocked. i am hearing a lot of accusations but i am not hearing how to fix it. commander lynch and i would agree on this this is a terrible problem it is also hit the va with a perfect storm. we not only have the vietnam vets aging now we have vets from the recent conflicts who we were able with the miracles of modern military medicine to keep them alive. they would have died in previous wars but they required greater levels of care and what do we have? we are trying to treat them with a civil service where we protect the bad actors, government union rules that protect bad actors, procurement rules that keep our technology administrative technology in the dark ages. it is one thing after another. i think general shinseki in fiv

what we're seeing here is a washington lynch mentality. let's get them. and even i think speaker boehner is exactly right. he's taking a measured approach. listen, this is not -- we've known this problem has existed for a very long time. this inspector general's report raises the ante because it suggests that now the problems are more systemic, widespread than we had previously known. >> more than 42 facilities now under investigation by the ig. charles, i want to broaden it out just a little bit. there are obviously other news. the president got hammered for this west point speech by the "new york times," by "the washington post," by others. you have a number of foreign policy fronts where it does not look good for the u.s. now you have the economy shrinking in the first quarter. >> you put them all together, and you have a crisis of competence. this administration had a lot of ideological opponents, including me, many others, but it was mostly on their goals, irradical, expanding the government, intruding into people's lives. then you get to a point whe

aig, washington mutual, merrill lynch, but stark reality, a cot log.he behind the scenes on near death of each is detailed and makes me feel he's a total honest broker. many people don't feel that. i don't care. he's the first to admit he lacks a dramatic hero villain flair. they almost all seem to be drawn to the financial industry like flies to honey. family show. it's impossible to imagine a group of trucking companies, health care professionals, any industry performing so horrendously as bank bosses. they are at times laughably villainous. like when one of the richest men in the world at that point running merrill lynch requires an incredibly tense media. now whether it will be curtailed by the government's program to save the world, good grief. he didn't write the book as an investors guide to banks but you can extrapolate from the rich composite to populate the text. this has to be one of the most cautionary tales i have ever read. and for and after the crises why the bank stocks received such a low evaluation in our market these days. first goin
