mcgovern said and mr. dicks and also how important it is that america, which is still the richest country in the world in spite of our financial difficulties, has respect and wants to help others because we ourselves have been so well blessed. so i rise in opposition to this amendment, and i want to -- i want to thank my colleagues on the other side and thank mr. kingston as well and hope as we proceed through the process that we might be able to find some common ground. perhaps get a little bit more assistance for these vital programs, but let's try to keep our emotions down a little bit because this -- everybody feels very strongly but yet our common goal is to lift this country up and by helping others we do that. . yield back. the chair: the gentlelady yields back. is anyone seeking recognition? the question is on the amendment. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. mr. broun: mr. chairman. the chair: the gentleman from georgia. mr. broun: i

mcgovern, is recognized. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i yield one minute to the gentleman from california, the ranking member on the appropriations committee on this subcommittee, mr. farr. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized for one minute. mr. farr: thank you, mr. mcgovern, for yielding. i rise with concerns with this rule. the rule in one part is good because it's an open rule, it allows amendments. the rule in the second part which protects the work of the committee fails to do so. this committee is about food. it's about food production, about food packaging, about food delivery and about feeding people. it is the largest poverty program in the united states. we have a lot of poor people in this country at all ages, and instead of taking care of those people, instead of taking care of those people, this rule eliminates that protection. it protects those that have but not those that have not. i stand in opposition to the rule. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california yields back

mcgovern: mr.peaker, last week the house spoke quite clearly on the question of libya during the debate on the f.y. 2012 national defense authorization act. by a vote of 415-5 on a bipartisan amendment offered by congressman conyers, the house voted against u.s. deploying ground troops in libya. so the house has clearly stated its position on u.s. military operations in libya. but that vote did not touch upon two serious matters, each very much connected to the other. first is the fact that the president did not seek a congressional authorization for u.s. military engagement in libya in coordination with our nato allies, nor did the leadership of this house insist on one or pursue one. second, under the war powers resolution, the president has not sought the authorization of congress during the required time period to maintain u.s. armed forces and military operations in libya. simply put, under a war powers resolution, the president must obtain congressional authorization for military action that

mcgovern: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlewoman from north carolina for yielding me the customary 30 minutes. i yield myself such time as may consume. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. mcgovern: before i get into my statement, i would like to point out for the record to the gentlelady that in response to her very political and partisan remarks, i want to remind her that george bush came into office in 2000, republicans were in charge of both the house and senate until 2006, and so if you want to point fingers at why this economy is in the ditch, i would suggest that my republican friends look in the mirror. mr. speaker, budgets are moral documents. budgets lay out our priorities. document what we think is important for our country to succeed and our citizens to thrive. a few months ago this republican controlled house made a statement by passing the ryan budget. with that vote, house republicans showed that they want to end medicare as we know it, but their budget did more than just undermine m

mcgovern: mr. speaker, last night the president outlined his strategy for afghanistan which included a drawdown of 10,000 troops by the end of this year and an additional 23,000 by the end of next year. i believe this is insufficient and i fear it means more of the same for the next 18 months. the same strategy means the same cost. and i'm sad to say even more casualties. more american soldiers losing their lives in support of an afghan government that is terribly corrupt and incompetent. we have been doing this for 10 years. it's the longest war in our history, mr. speaker. enough. our focus should be on encouraging a negotiated settlement, a political solution, and bringing our troops home where they belong. our troops are incredible men and women. i am in awe of their dedication and their commitment. they don't belong in the middle of mountains and deserts fighting a cruel war. according to the pentagon's own figures, u.s. and coalition casualties in afghanistan are steadily rising. last month w

host: your reaction to comments of congressman jim mcgovern. guest: i'm very sympathetic to his frustration. but as i said, 30,000, i think, maxed out the number that the military, our military, was prepared to go along with. we can't just disregard their vi view. just logistically it is tough to get 30,000 more out of that country in a year's time. it is very difficult because to essentially go through pakistan and that is not easy. so we have to listen to the military that we got into the war, they didn't want it in the first place and we have to listen to them on a safe exit. but mind you, it is a safe exit for our guys leaving some people there to help afghans who want to fight. but the main purpose of our policy at this point has to be to convince the afghans themselves that finally, after 10 years, this has got to be their responsibility. if they don't want their women to be enslaved again, if they themselves don't want to be subject to taliban dictatorship, they have to fight. the taliban itself in afghanistan is somewhere between 20,000

even in one event i got a very strong applause when i mentioned the mcgovern-jones amendment and how close we came to create a formula to bring our troops home. mr. speaker, they said to me, well, why do we go into afghanistan? bin laden. he was responsible for 9/11. he's dead now. al qaeda, which had a large presence back in 2003-2004 in afghanistan is now diminished. these are the veterans talking to me. i'm not a veteran. my statement was, you're right. our country's financially broke. we spend over $8 billion. we can't pay our bills. and yet mr. karzai, who is corrupt to begin with, the leader of afghanistan, we always seem to find $8 billion a month to send to him. it makes no sense. so mr. mcgovern and i and people on my side and his side, we are going to continue to work to create a atmosphere and environment to encourage president obama not to wait until 2015. that's, actly what secretary gates said to the armed services committee which i serve on in february of this year. in 2015 we will start bringing home our troops. well, then, mr. speaker how many more will have to die,

and france they don't accept any kind of killed mcgovern their power. drop or power in the force and that's and i don't i can't predict how far they'll go. they could possibly be attacking syria in the near future but libya this special case because they don't have long wanted to remove gadhafi he has been a strong underside of the west and jacket in decades mainly because he was used to be a good. client. religious large ok i would assume that they were cleary every group leader is interesting how you say that i could have been a thorn in the side of the west for many many years and yet it was barely a year ago we saw former british prime minister tony blair and the e.u. president point hugging him and clutching them. to william i'm sorry that's all the time we have for american author and historian william bloom thank you thank you. syria's military has reportedly launched an operation aimed at restoring security in the rebel northern border town of just gotta say at least one hundred twenty officers and government troops were killed there by groups e
