markey of massachusetts. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 738, the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. markey, and a member opposed, will each control five minutes and the chair recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. markey: i thank you, mr. chairman. i yield myself at this point two minutes. it's just to lay out how simple this amendment is it will ensure the government could act to protect the public from extreme weather, including drought, flooding and catastrophic wildfire. the republican bill on the floor today is so broadly and badly written, who knows what could fall through the holes and blast in america's safety net. given the record breaking extreme weather events our country has experienced in the last few years, we cannot risk tying the helping hands of government when it comes to dealing with droughts, floods, wild fires and extreme events. mr. welch was talking about the fuel economy standards that lift our fuel economy standards to 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2026. that's a

markey: i yield 30 seconds. mr. johnson: thank you. rather than bringing the bipartisan h.r. 2011, here we have a wolf in sheep's clothing, a bill that is supposed to help our national security interests but protects the health and well-being of americans throughout this great country. it's just another episode in a long saga of misleadingly named republican legislation, bills that claim to help the country but really just help the special interests. what a shame. i yield back. mr. hastings: madam chairman, i yield myself 30 seconds before i yield. i would yield to the gentleman from georgia if he can tell me in this 11-page bill where, where environmental laws are gutted. i yield to the gentleman. if he can tell me what page? mr. hastings: i'm asking you a question. mr. johnson: you ask me a question. mr. hastings: what page? mr. johnson: the overall scheme of this bill is -- mr. hastings: what page? i ask you -- i am yielding him to -- the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. johnson: you are not interested. mr. hastings: rec

markey, can i interrupt? i asked a very good and legitimate question, it applies to the other bills as well. if i can do just 6089 so i can get these two witnesses on their way and then bring the other witnesses up, i would appreciate that. >> i see what you're saying. no, i do not have any questions for those two bills. >> okay. then commissioner jankovsky, i appreciate -- mr. kashdan, i appreciate your attendance here, appreciate you flying all the way out here. you will do -- you can be -- you can go back and enjoy yourself at this particular stage in the game, and i can invite david cook from the arizona cattlemens' association -- i'm sorry, the national cattlemens' association, and doyle shamley from the national resource -- i'm doing this without glasses -- coordinator from apache, arizona, can join us on that panel. and while they're coming up, mr. tipton, i'll give you the last comment on your bill, then, mr. markey, let me give you time to introduce your piece of legislation, we'll have the other two

that sort of brackets the possibilities of what we would have gotten under waxman/markey. oil production increases in both of those modeling exercises because the c 02 price creates an incentive to capture carbon monoxide to enhance oil recovery. projections are not gospel, but that's a real possibility. that's actually the one big growth potential in u.s. production that we haven't talked about because there isn't a carbon price to create an incentive to make that supply of co 2 available. if you look at the basic economics of the issue, increased u.s. oil production is unlikely to have a large impact emissions and increased natural gas emission particularly in the next decade or two is likely to displace coal and, therefore, e rer reduce emissions. the bigger potential impact on climate policy i think comes through politics. so some good extent, the discussion about climate policy to date has conflated several different challenges, one of which was greenhouse gas emissions and global warming but another was this idea of resource scarcity that we're running out and theref

markey: yes, i do. the chair: pursuant to clause 6, rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from massachusetts will be postponed. for what purpose does the gentlelady from california rise? lee -- ms. woolsey: mr. chairman, i have an amendment at the desk. it is woolsey 040. the chair: the clerk will report the amendment. the clerk: amendment offered by ms. woolsey of california. at the end of the bill before the short title insert the following, section, the total amount of appropriations made available by this act is hereby reduced by $293 million. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized for five minutes. ms. woolsey: mr. chairman, whenever we debate the defense appropriations bill, i feel like i'm living in an alternative universe, because the other 51 weeks of the year, all i hear from my republican colleagues is that the sky is falling and we have to rein in a defense that is wildly out of control. but when it comes to the military budget, that rhetoric is no where to

markey, given the other questions?> just going to come back to you. >> just to be reflective of what happened in explaining the bark beetle and why it's now reproducing out once here, but twice the air, why the change in temperatures are causing that to happen, why it is expanding its footprints in larger and larger areas because of climate change and the changing temperatures and you're just trying to explain that scientifically has a reality that has led to the metastasis station of the problem in the same way new england winters are now four degrees warmer than they were in 1970. said the massachusetts and vermont maple trees are now going further and further north, heading towards canada and that's just the changing climate, change in temperatures. we barely had a winter last year. so while you're doing is pointing out the facts of the maple trees are going further and further north in the bark beetles are reproducing twice a year to cause more and more damage in the climate is at the heart of it. it's a big change

markey: i thank the gentleman from colorado. we are just hours removed from house republicans voting to take away health care for 30 million americans and put the insurance companies back in charge of our health care system. and it's back to business as usual for the g.o.p.-controlled house, yes. it's time to get back to more giveaways to the nation's wealthiest companies. because when house republicans aren't voting to take away health care from ordinary americans, from poor americans, they're voting for wealthcare for the most profitable industries in the history of the united states of america. in fact, the majority continues to bring largely the same legislation to the floor over and over again, only the name of the industry reaping the windfall changes. two weeks ago the republican majority voted to give away nearly all of our onshore public lands to the oil and gas industry. the majority has passed bills to put rigs off of our beaches in california, off of our beaches in florida, off of our beaches in new jersey, without p

markey, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. like to welcome you, chairman macfarlane, and congratulate you on your recent confirmation. after the fukushima meltdowns, a task force was create today recommend safety upgrades for american nuclear reactors. that task force was made up of nrc officials who together had more than 15 years of nuke -- 135 years of nuclear regulatory expertise. it included 12 recommendations which ranged from requirements to upgrade seismic and flood protections against the long power outages that were the ultimate cause of the japanese meltdown. they also concluded that each and every one of the recommendations were necessary for the adequate protection of nuclear power plants and that they should be mandatory for each nuclear reactor. mandatory. the chairman immediately announced his support for all of the nrc staff's recommendations. regrettably, some of his fellow nrc commissioners did not do likewise and initially insisted that other nrc staff review the task force report before the commission vote

that's according to congressman ed markey, whose office is looking into this matter. at&t wouldn't talk about it, but verizon and sprint said they just cover the cost of doing what the police ask. so for the 411, we tracked down our own cnn legal contributor, paul cal "outfront" with us now. >> with my cell phone. >> with your cell phone. somebody tracking you as we speak, my friend. is this a nefarious, sneaky thing, or is this a good thing? >> you know, my civil libertarian juices started flowing when i first heard about this story. you know, law enforcement violating the rights of american people. but i was talking to a close friend who is a prosecutor in new york, who was just kind of throwing the cold water in my face. and what he said was, this is ridiculous. he said, you know, they're talking about 1.3 million requests being made, nationwide, we're a country of about 314 million people, i think. so it's less than, you know -- less than half a percent of the population. by the way, over 2 million people are in prison in the united states. so it's less even than

caucus is now dedicated entirely to the issue co-chaired by republican joe barton and a democrat ed markey contains tea partiers and progressives and has twenty four members and just last week it's democratic members called for hearing on cell phone tracking and yesterday they sent a letter to data mining companies asking about their practices and expressing concerns about consumer privacy so it seems that while civil libertarians have to fight like mad to keep uncle sam out of your business there are at least some people on the hill that are at times holding true to their word to uphold the constitution and like i said even then it's not always the case but maybe if we let them know that we're noticing they'll do more and your privacy and the bill of rights will still have a fighting chance. our guys it's time for our last break of the evening but when we come back to find out which senator doubled down on his usual fear mongering he went to night school some awards and then we'll have another dose of happy hour thank you laura lister and jim hansen be doing next. those stores. were going

markey. you have five minutes. >> thank you for holding today's hearing and for cosponsoring the bill. my thoughts and prayers continue to go out to our constituents who have suffered from wildfires. i would like to express my appreciation to everyone working to protect lives and property of our neighbors. i have a slide show to show and some of the impact of these fires. the district i represent is one of the largest congressional district in the country, encompassing a of arizona's 13 oral counties. it contains over 37 million acres. that acreage includes national forests. last year our communities were victims to some of the largest fires in history. one fire grew to more than 800 square miles. the horseshoe fire, the stanley fire, and the monument fire blackened another 200,000 acres. this year if has not been much better. over 900 fires have charged over 6000 square miles in states, and over 50,000 of those acres are in arizona. it is clear the process of planning and consulting and liti

that brackets the possibilities of what we might have got under waxman-markey. my question is oil production increases in those modeling prices bass the co2 price creates an insend different to capture carbon dioxide. so that's actually the one big growth potential in u.s. production that we haven't talked about. because they're in the carbon place to create the incentive to make that supply of co2 available. if you look at the basic economics of the issue, increased u.s. oil production and increase is unlikely to have a large impact on global emissions and increased natural gas production, particularly in the next decade or two is like 0ly to displace coal and therefore reduce impacts. to some good extent the discussion about climate policy to date has conflated several different challenges, one of which was global warming and the other one is resource scarcity, that we're running out. if that piece of the coalition that want climate policy in place, vanishes because of their sense of abundance, then i think it becomes more difficult to put good climate policy

in response to a request from congressman edward markey, wireless carriers responded to 1.3 million requestsformation in 2011 they were seeking text messages and caller locations and other information in the course of investigations. the requests came from law enforcement on a local, state and federal level. the law is still struggling to catch up with this area of cell phone surveillance. the issue is how to balance law enforcement needs with privacy concerns. as the times pointed out under federal law the carriers said they generally required a certain much warrant, court order, or formal subpoena to release information about a subscriber. in cases that law enforcement officials deem an emergency, a less formal request is often enough. moreover, rapid technological changes in cell phones have blurred the lines on what's legally required to get data. particularly the use of gps systems to identify the location of phones. in a world where virtually everyone walks around with a cell phone, the ability to track users has become an invaluable tool for police. the question is whether privacy rig

congressman ed markey was here last night, reporting on his investigation on cell phone data, and joining biddle, senior staff right for gizmodo. sam, there's so many strange things about this, including that we don't know how long cell phone companies keep this data. the aclu reports that the problem is cell phone companies refuse to reveal how long they keep it, mostly. sprint says they keep it for 18 to 24 months. at&t says they've been holding on it for indefinitely. >> and we have to take them at their word when they say it's only been so long. and like you said, there's no end date. so they're holding on to this stuff really until they're forced to delete it. >> and it's kind of, they're getting it within what used to be their wiretap powers. but they're getting it without warrants, most of the police departments they ask for it, they just hand it over. >> right. if a police agency comes and says there's some sort of danger or threat, which is such a nebulous criterion to begin with, they hand it right over. >> so for that to be a legitimate inquiry, you're trusting the police offic

. >> yeah, because in the words of democratic congressman ed markey who first requested this information from the cell phone carrier, shep, when investigators do that, they are looking for a needle but they are effectively getting a whole hay stack of information from potentially millions of cell phone users. over the period of one whole year. so, he says the public have a right to know. according to a lot of lawyers, such at you are own randy zwelling, criminal defense attorney this ultimate solid probably going to end up in the nation's top court. listen. >> i think what will happen is this will probably go up to the supreme court level. and there will be an analysis of, okay, supremes, you said you can't do it with g.p.s. you can do it with a phone? they're both computers, both have g.p.s. to me, can't do it. >> in total, shep, last year the wireless carriers got something like 1.3 million requests from law enforcement agencies. that's more than 3.5000 every single day of the year, shep. >> jonathan, despite the privacy concerns, investigators are like look, we need this information t

joining me now, in a "last word" exclusive is congressman ed markey of massachusetts.ducted your own investigation of what's going on out there with the wireless companies. what have you found out? >> well, i found that the law enforcement officials of the united states, in 2011, made 1.3 million requests of cell phone companies for information about americans, as they use their cell phones. and as this digital dragnet is put out across the country, there are real questions as to whether or not the fourth amendment protections against illegal search and seizures are sufficient here in the 21st century. and so, this kind of dekeynesian world we live in, it's the best of technologies, it's the worst of technologies. at the same time, it does help law enforcement officials, but as the police look for the illegal criminal needle, there's also an innocent haystack of americans whose information is gathered up, and we really don't know right now how that information is, in fact, handled by law enforcement across our country. >> and it seems at first that the cell phone compa

markey: i thank the gentleman. the chair: for four minutes. mr. markey: we started, mr. dicks and i, 36 years ago. at the height of the cold war. with each country building more and more nuclear weapons, more and more defense systems, in an ever-escalating war of nerves that kept both countries and the whole world on edge. but in this republican fantasy land, gold-plated nuclear weapons systems budget, there are going to be program that was long outlived their usefulness that are lavished with canyons filled with cash. in this fantasyland, the cold war never ended. the soviet me nass lives on, making it necessary to maintain vast stockpiles of nuclear weapons and build new bombers to penetrate the iron curtain this fantasyland -- in this fantasyland, there are mountains of money for intercontinental ballistic missiles, providing shade and comfort to the legions of defense contractors, making nuclear weapons we no longer need and can no longer afford. in this fantasy land, the republicans want to retroactively refight the cold war that we won. this makes no sense. mr. spe

markey: i thank the chair. you know, this debate has taken on the characteristics of ancestor worship. and i understand it. i know it's hard for individuals to let go of the cold war. to let go of an era where foreign policy was characterized by this bitter rivalry between the united states and the soviet union. the reality, we won. it's over. and we didn't just win, it was basically a world where there's yube power. it's us. the chinese only have 40 to 50 nuclear missiles. the russians have already dramatically reduced their weapons. the likelihood of a nuclear war between the united states and russia is negative zero. and yet there are members that don't want to see any reductions in our nuclear weapons force, not withstanding the fact that those extra expenditures then would have to come out of other budgets, including the budgets for the national institutes of health to find a cure for canser or alzheimer's or parkinson's. and so we have this curious disconnect between the rl re-ality of the world that we l

as the political article said yesterday, representative markey accused republicans of being silent on the threat of global warming. and called for republicans to hold hearings. while representative markey is quick to accuse republicans of silence he says nothing about the silence we're hearing from the democrats here in the united states senate. we haven't heard anybody, haven't heard the term global warming coming from any senator. when was the last time anyone heard president obama or the democrats mention global warming? in fact, their campaign has failed so miserably that president obama running for reelection is pretending to support oil and gas to gain votes. the irony is that the president who came into office promising to slow the rise of the oceans and all of that has presided over the complete collapse of the global warming movement. since president obama took office, nearly four years ago, not one global warming cap-and-trade bill has been debated on the senate floor. in fact, if anything they are regressing in support for their pet issue. last year 64 senators went on reco
