mr. rush: mr. speaker, let me egin my -- by commending chairman upton, chairman whitfield, ranking member pallone and the committee staff for working with my office to bring the 21st century work force legislation to the house floor today. . i would also publicly acknowledge the leadership of my colleague, mr. hudson of north carolina, and his staff who played an instrumental role in helping us to get to this very point. the good faith talks held between my office, the majority and the minority committee aff, and mr. hudson's office have resulted in this bipartisan jobs bill that will go a long way in helping to get our nation's economy back on rack and working for everyone. mr. speaker, this work force bill before us provides an example of how congress should function, how congress should work on behalf of the american people. here we have bipartisan members of the energy and commerce ommittee who represent various constituencies, from diverse regions of the country, and who come with different po

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, 10 days ago, congress expected the president to submit his plan to counter the rise of islamic terrorism in the middle east. american families deserve to know that the president has a strategy to defeat isil and keep us safe. the 2016 national defense authorization act, signed by the president, was clear. the president must submit a plan to congress by february 15 on how to defeat isil and reduce risk to american families. sadly, the president has not presented a strategy. this is another example of the president's continued disregard for law and the constitution. we should support our troops by giving them a clear mission and a clear strategy to protect american families. while i am disappointed the president's failed to submit a strategy, we cannot be surprised. after

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the fantasy iranian nuclear deal went into effect on january 16, giving the iranian regime billions of dollars to support terrorism, expand its ballistic missile program and threaten american families with attacks. just two weeks ago, secretary of state john kerry admitted that some of the funds would go to terrorist groups. what is worse is the secretary says there's no way to prevent funds from supporting terrorist activity to kill american families. we must and should be clear that the united states has zero tolerance for terrorism or regimes that support terrorism. i am grateful to co-sponsor the bipartisan zero tolerance for terror act. this critical legislation gives congress an aket to act quickly and effectively -- an ability to act quickly and effectively. we should support t

mr. creagh, mr. ambrose was asked why your department made that recommendation, he replied and i quote, you'll have to ask them. so i'm asking you, as the head of mdeq, why did your department previously oppose the use of flint river water, as a primary source back in 2012? >> i don't have knowledge as to that conversation, nor decision. >> you don't know? your predecessor was dan wyatt, that's why we've called for his deposition, mr. chairman and i press that request. i'm trying to figure out what happened between 2012, when your department, mr. creagh, opposed using the flint river, and 2014, when you reversed course, and signed off on permits to allow it. and you can't explain that to us, because you weren't there at the time, right? >> that's correct. >> okay. we're having a hearing here in washington, d.c., with witnesses who do not have personal knowledge of the subject. how crazy is that? how interested are we, really in getting to the facts when they bring here witnesses who don't know what w

mr. upton: mr. speaker, i would yield three minutes to the gentleman from michigan, a co-sponsor of the bill, mr. walberg. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from michigan is recognized for three minutes. mrs. walorski: thank you, mr. speaker. -- mr. walberg: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to thank the chairman as well. i want to thank by thanking my friends, dan kildee and chairman upton for their work on this bipartisan legislation and ensuring a swift congressional response to the ongoing water crisis in flint, michigan. what have we learned and what will we do both now and in the future, mr. speaker, is the question. what happened in flint is not a natural disaster. it's a human disaster and a failure of government at every level. in my questioning at last week's oversight and government reform hearing it became very clear that individuals with the e.p.a. knew about the high levels of the -- lead levels in the drinking water for months but failed to communicate this information to the people

mr. smith? mr. smith: i just add and say, congresswoman, i don't have the exact amount that iran uses to fund terrorism. we can go back and see. i think the intelligence community properly has the best number, working with the treasury department. but that would be more of a classified figure we'd have to provide in a different setting. in terms of sanctioning iranian banks for bad behavior in support of terrorism, we've done it. we

mr. carlson going over the plans, and you and the mayor at the groundbreaking ceremony. incidentally, that will be next friday. - (laughs) well, this puts an entirely new aspect on things. - so you'd better uphold the cause of springfield womanhood, and call mrs. bradshaw and tell her you'll accept. (laughing) well, what's so funny? - oh, i was just thinking how my family will react when they hear me accept the job. they've been making the most horrible jokes about this thing. according to them, picking me was the world's stupidest error. - you get that from your family too? - you know, myrtle, i wish i didn't have to let them know what the job really is. - well, don't tell them. let them think you're really the head man. - oh, i couldn't do that. anyway, they'd find out soon enough. - not necessarily. i'd be very glad to help you fool them for a while. it'd serve them right. - certainly would. - and i could make a lot of phone calls to you pretending that i'm mr. carlson, and the mayor,

mr. guinta: mr. speaker, i rise in recognition of national court reporting and captioning week, taking place next week. court reporters and captioners are highly specialized professionals who record our most important public events and provide vital closed captioning services to nearly 48 million americans. my own parents met in court reporting school and went on to start a small successful business. the training is rigorous, certification requires one's ability to type at a rate of 225 per minute. a court reporter is transcribing this very moment in congress. the new hampshire court reporters association celebrated its 30th anniversary but it extends much further. because of court reporters we have an accurate record of the first days of our country, our founding fathers drafted the declaration of independence, and the constitution. i'd like to thank court reporters and captioners for their service, enabling public participation in our democracy. a cornerstone of representative government in the uni

mr. smith? mr. smith: i just add and say, congresswoman, i don't have the exact amount that iran uses to fund terrorism. we can go back and see. i think the intelligence community properly has the best number, working with the treasury department. but that would be more of a classified figure we'd have to provide in a different setting. in terms of sanctioning iranian banks for bad behavior in support of terrorism, we've done it. we've sanctioned banks in the past for its support for terrorism. we'll continue to follow the evidence of support for terrorism, ballistic missile support, destabilizing activities and we will develop packages and targets when we see the evidence show. ms. meng: ok. and finally, but can we tell if the support for terrorist activities and groups has increased or decreased? mr. mull: i think mr. myth is right. that i think we'd be happy to go into more detail in a different setting. but i do know that general clapper recently testified in the past few days that he has not se

mr. costa: mr. speaker, i rise today to speak on the current status of california's devastating drought. i urge california state and federal agencies to maximize the pumping of water in the delta to the allowable legal limits. as a result of state and federal agency's inability to operate at the most flexibility range available, under the biological pinons, over 44,000 acre-feet of water has been lost just this last week during these el nino conditions. and over 131,000 acre-feet of water has been lost this year. water that could be used to grow crops, to feed people. this is morally wrong. congress must pass legislation to provide relief for the people of the san joaquin cali and california. senator feinstein's introduction of water legislation is a critical step and i urge the senate to pass their legislation so we can enter the negotiations with the house passed bill which i strongly support. time is of the essence and every day of delay results in further losses of the vital water that is necess

mr. miller: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and add any extraneous material on h.r. 4437. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. miller: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. miller: thank you, mr. speaker. i do rise in support of h.r. 4437, a bill of which i am honored to sponsor to extend the deadline for the submittal of the final report that is required by the commission on care. in response to the veterans affairs crisis that saw far too many veterans waiting too long for the care they needed required the establishment of a commission on care to examine veteran access to care and recommend how to best organize the v.a. health care system over the next 20 years. the law required the commission to develop a final report 180 days after their first meeting or by february 20, 2016. however, the commission has requested that congre

mr. carney: mr. speaker, i'd like to yield four minutes to the gentlelady from new york, mrs. maloney. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for four minutes. mrs. maloney: i thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership. i rise in strong support of h.r. 2209. in sum, this bill levels the playing field for cities and states, saves cities and states -- hundreds of millions of dollars and does it in a way that maintains the safety and soundness of our banking system. i'd first like to thank my friend from indiana, mr. messer, for his leadership on this issue. it has been a pleasure to work with him. when we introduced this we worked hard to have a balanced bipartisan support and to have broad support on both sides of the aisle. we introduced it with a coalition of five republicans and five democrats. on the democratic side we were joined by mr. capuano, mr. mr. r, ms. moore and swalwell. from the republican side we had mr. king, mr. neugebauer, mr. stivers and mr. hultgren. th

hello, mr. wilson. hi, mrs. mitchell. hi, mr. wilson. hi, dennis. martha will be over in just a minute. she's wrapping something. heh heh heh. how come you're smiling at me like that? am i unbuttoned someplace? why, no. i'm smiling because i like you. i brought you a little going away present. oh, you shouldn't have done that, mr. wilson. sure, he should. dennis can't accept that, mr. wilson. sure, i can. i want the boy to have it. i know it's something he's wanted for a long time. sure, i have. what is it? open it up and see. wow! thanks, mr. wilson. a real bugle. [toot] great scott. that's going to drive you out of your mind. oh, that's all right. besides, it'll only be for a few days. well, hello there, howard. what brings you out this way? was going to be in charge in new york and i'm gonna be looking for a job in a couple weeks. oh. well, don't worry. he'll find a place for you. smart boy. i'm sure he is, but i haven't taken over yet. [doorbell rings] well, that's okay. i'm not through school for a few weeks yet. alice, dear alice, i'm gonna mi

that wasn't mr. noll. that was mr. butterworth. oh, i thought it was mr. noll. it was mr. butterworth. well, anyways, i remember how mad you got when you was going to this big party and mr. noll said he was sick and asked you to take this case for him. and then you discovered that he'd gone to the party that you had missed. that wasn't mr. noll. that was mr. hatch. oh, i thought it was mr. noll. well, anyway, i remember once when you needed some legal help, and mr. noll says that he wasn't free to help you out. he said that he was tied up with the judge. he was tied up all right, but it was in a golf game with a man named judge. only mr. noll will pull a mean trick like that. that wasn't mr. noll. that was me. oh, i thought it was mr. noll. it was me. all right, hazel, all right. you've made your point. we've all been as guilty as he has. so, i will go in and make my peace with mr. noll. we raise the flag tomorrow morning. i don't blame you for being mad, george. i swear it'll never happen again. i mean it--you're a real friend, george. and i'm gonna do everything i can to

this is mr. and mrs. scott, dennis. how do you do, mr. and mrs. scott? my, doesn't he have nice manners? usually i shake hands, but they're a little bit full of chocolate ice cream. oh, well, dennis, you come and sit with me and be nice and quiet. oh. did i put my knee in your stomach, mr. wilson? yes, you did, dennis, but it's all right. oh, he's a nice, quiet, little boy. am i welcome? oh, yes, dennis, you're welcome. excuse me for a minute, please. [music] i'm welcome. what was that all about, dennis? you'll see. did i do it again, mr. wilson? yes, you did, dennis. surprise. [music] thank you. oh, i'm just awfully sorry about that ice cream in your hat, mr. scott. oh, forget it. there's still a little in your hair, dear. thank you, dear. well, now, about the house, shall i have mr. burnley get in touch with you? i don't think so, mr. wilson. it's a lovely house but-- we don't think so. but if you like it, why not? as you know, mr. wilson, we like a lot of quiet. and while it's a great tribute to you the way these youngsters love you, giving you the su

mr. ganz. the whole purpose of our work is to help people, and they treat me like i'm some sleazy salesman pushing pots and pans. i'm not interested. what do we got here? oh, that's donald ganz, barney. broke down the door of an apartment over on delancey. census taker. oh. is it time for that already? mm-hmm. ganz, i'm captain miller. you're with the census bureau? i'm a regional field enumerator. i count people. yes, yes. they're supposed to fill out these questionnaires and send them back, but nobody does. mr. ganz was in the building doing a door-to-door follow-up. every apartment, the same thing -- "go away!" "we don't want any!" "nobody's home!" that doesn't fool me. well, apparently he took a little more aggressive tack at the apartment of one mr. enrico santini. i could hear them inside, lots of them. so he forced his way in. he was chasing the santinis around the apartment, trying to count heads. i had most of them cornered when they showed up. well, regardless, the entire santin

mr. buford, that is, if your family operates on a different schedule, as ours does (chuckles). - frankly, i don't know. i'm a bachelor, and i didn't have too much family life as a boy either, being raised by an uncle. i guess that's why mr. mcclure gave me this assignment. he figured i'd have a truly objective viewpoint. (jim chuckles) (phone rings) - oh, bud. - [bud on the phone] hello, oh, claude. - well now, mr. buford, what would you like to do first? - [bud on the phone] what did you find out about francine? - would you like to take some pictures or-- bud, tell claude you'll call him back later. mr. buford doesn't have all day. - he's got information about francine. - yes, sir. [bud on the phone] i gotta go. - oh, i guess the first thing i ought to do is try to explain what we want to do in this article. - good idea. - we want to show that a closely-knit family is an aid to an insurance man, in that it provides him with an understanding of the problems of his clients and their famili

-oh, mr. ainsworth, there's nothing like walking into your barn after a hard day's work and seeing those big brown eyes light up as if to say, "welcome home, master. i've missed you." post, you're drunk. give it a little push. that's the stuff. i mean it, mr. ainsworth. -my horse really loves me. -ainsworth: uh-huh. yeah, really. every night, he fetches my slippers. he has to. in your condition, you couldn't bend down to pick them up. all right, fellows. we're going home. day's all over. -boys: aww! -don't give me that "aww" business! pick up the chairs like good boys and put them in the station wagon. one, two, three... where's bobby? dennis? dennis, where... where's bobby? i don't know, mr. ainsworth. what do you mean you don't know? weren't you playing with him? oh, he's never done this before. how long ago was that? -i don't know, mr. ainsworth. -okay, thanks. good boy. i suppose he's wandered off into the hills someplace. well, i better find him before it gets dark. he can't have got very

mr. poe: mr. speaker, while patrolling the blue south pacific seas, two american stalian helicopters collided off the coast of hawaii. it was january 14, 2016. 12 u.s. marines onboard perished. despite rescue efforts by air and sea, the marines were never found. their watery graves are only known to god. major sean campbell, 41, and 23.oral matthew, brown, major campbell over here with two of his children was a hard core marine. a graduate of texas a&m and microbiology, he served three tours of duty in combat in the middle east. recently, he was ordered to the states as an instructor pilot. behind a ell left wife and four kids. corporal matthew drown joined the marines right out of kline oak high school in 2011. he was in the debate team. and a friend to everyone -- a friend everyone wantd to have. he was planning on re-enlisting in the marine corps. these volunteers lived and died protecting america. they are the best that we have. mr. speaker, there's nothing like a marine. ronald reagan said, s

mr. culberson: mr. honda? mr. honda: i have serious concerns about the privacy implications of the f.b.i.'s ongoing aterpts to force apple which is basically in my district, to create a hack to allow the f.b.i. to gain access to encrypted information on the phone of one of the san bernardino shooters. i realize you face a tough challenge investigating this attack on our nation and communities. however, what the f.b.i. requests will echo beyond this case and create a weakness that can be exploited in attacks on apple by those seeking to gain access to the new code the f.b.i. seeks. these possibilities must be weighed against information the f.b.i. will be able to recover from the phone of the san bernardino shooters. you have said repeatedly that this is about one phone, yet there have been multiple news stories highlighting other phones that have government seeks to access. can you promise that this is the only time you will ask apple or any company to create software to gain access to a phone? and as you know, ap

oh, i'd like you to meet madame and mr. bouchet, mr. and mrs. mitchell. how do you do? mr. wainwright, mr. wilson and the bouchets. hi, mr. wainwright. how do you do, mr. wainwright? it is a great pleasure to meet the parents of dennis. will you not join us? please. oh, that's right. you are on your expense account tonight aren't you? why don't we make room for you on our table? waiter, will you bring a couple of chairs, please. you have such a nice little boy. oh, merci. we are very proud of him. i hope he give you no trouble to your babysitter. oh, he won't be a bit of trouble. but she isn't our babysitter, she's mr. wilson's. oh. oh, no, no, alice, i cancelled mine. i left your mrs. porter sitting with the children. mr. wilson, i cancelled mrs. porter. you're woman is sitting with. oh, no. mitchell, stop joking. i left your mrs. porter sitting with the children. just when we're about to enjoy a lovely dinner. excuse me. i'm going to make a call home. did you turn the boys over to mrs. porter? well, of course, i did. she came to the door and i said hello and she-- well, s

not until i talk to mr. denton about mr. b. i wonder what would happen if i was to sashay in there with the coffee... and my brownies. how do you do, mr. baxter? how do you do? pleasure meeting you, mr. baxter. thank you, sir. i had to drag him by the arm to get him over here. but you need a lawyer, and he's the best, so i thought you two ought to meet. well, i'm delighted. why don't you sit down and join us in a cup of coffee. uh, mike, will you bring in the-- anybody for coffee? hazel, what are you doing here? oh, boy. who is this woman? maybe i can help, mr. denton. she's president of some goofy club called the sunshine girls. but now there's storm signals all over the place. don't protect her, dorothy. it was absolutely inexcusable. she was doing it for you, george. she was trying to help you get to represent mr. denton. - [doorbell rings] - if she hadn't come barging in with those brownies and that coffee, i'd be representing him right now. in all the confusion, we didn't even get around to the subject. i hate to say it, d

[ ding! ] hear these words, with this flower, i do shed the gift of laughter on thy head. thank you, daddy. if it doesn't fit, you can exchange it. that was very nice. however, it seems that you and endora are hoping that little frank grows up to be a florist.

mr. kitzel, mr. kit -- (glass breaking) (audience laughing and clapping) - well it's a good thing we were on the ground floor. hi, i'm sorry but i just ran into a friend of mine. now, joey -- - i don't want my tooth pulled. i don't want my tooth pulled. my tooth don't hurt. - joey, you keep saying that all the time. at least speak correctly. it isn't, "my tooth don't hurt." it's, "my tooth doesn't hurt." anyway, the dentist isn't going to hurt you. - i don't care. i don't want my tooth pulled. - i don't want my tooth pulled. i don't want my tooth pulled. that's all you've been saying since we left home. you're nothing but a gutless yellow belly. (audience laughing) - stevie, please. - stevie, where did you learn words like that? - from you, mr. benny. (audience laughing) - from me? - yes, that's what you said to jack dempsey when you caught him with that left hook and he wouldn't get up. - mr. benny, you knocked down jack dempsey? - oh well that was quite a while ago. you see, he was 3 and i was 12.

mr. mccarthy: his passion, his intelligence and indeed his courageous defense of the constitution was unmatched. law should be how practiced. separation -- our country has not only lost a great man because profound man a principled man, and a good man. i yield back and move the previous question. the speaker pro tempore: without objection the resolution is agreed to and the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent that the committee on house administration be discharged from further consideration of house concurrent resolution 113 and ask for its immediate consideration in the house. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the concurrent resolution. the clerk: house concurrent resolution 13. concurrent resolution authorizing the use of emancipation hall and the capitol visitor's centers to present the congressional gold medal to the regiment. the speaker pro tempore: is t

mr. press: about a year and a half. brian: you became an intern in bernie sanders' office in 2010 at your age. [chuckling] brian: why? mr. press: that's a long story, i'm not sure we have time. during that time i have to say, bernie and i never talked about barack obama, or any disappointment in barack obama. i'm not sure where you are going, i want to make that clear. the reason i did it because i had applied -- i was a member of the white house press corps. i had a standing white house pass, went to the briefings every day. i got out of that for my own program, because i could ask questions. i thought i could expand that opportunity by getting a press credential of the u.s. capitol. i applied, and i was told i had to appear before the full senate reporters accreditation committee, because there were questions about whether or not i qualified. i was told because i gave my opinion -- actually first, i was turned down because i gave my opinion on my show. i am a talk show host, of course i

since mr. and mrs. meiklejohn decided to turn the trip into a second honeymoon, he's been acting like a teenager. he calls his wife three or four times a day, sends her flowers, talks about her incessantly. i'm sure she doesn't mind. sam, you and i both know he's under the influence of witchcraft. [ sighs ] darrin, i have a surprise for you. that love potion only lasts 24 hours. you mean, he really... i guess all he needed was a little push. well, what do you know! [ tinkles ] sam, that was not funny. so sue me. it was worth it. [ laughs ] come here. [clears throat] [sighs] good morning, master. oh, hi, jeannie. [giggling] there you are. well, thank you. well, you've been a busy little bee, haven't you? well, you do not want to be late. well, what's my hurry? i haven't even had breakfast yet. oh, there you are. you have a good day at the office, master. yeah, i have the distinct feeling you're trying to get rid of me. uh, is that true? [laughs] of course not, master. oh.

mrs. wilson. how are you? i'm fine, too. hey, mr. wilson, you're wearing a smokey the bear hat, aren't you? uh, dennis. smokey the bear. oh, dennis, it's good to see you. it's good to see you, too, mr. wilson. i missed you. dennis has something to tell you, mr. wilson. oh? go ahead, dennis. well, the day after you left on your trip, there was this swell little kid who was playing baseball. a swell little kid named dennis. uh-huh. i hit a homerun. right through your kitchen window. oh? oh. well, i mean, boys will be boys. i mean, after all, what's a broken window? well, that isn't all, mr. wilson. go ahead, dennis. well, the ball sort of bounced across the kitchen and turned on the water faucet. well, so we lost a little water down the drain. i mean, boys will be-- you didn't lose it down the drain, mr. wilson. the baseball ended up in the sink, acting as a drain plug. so you lost all your water on the floor. oh my goodness. i looked in through the window and saw what was happening, so i ca

mr. carney: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for such time. mr. carney: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i'd like to add my thanks and congratulations as well to the gentleman from maine, mr. poliquin, and the gentleman from california, mr. vargas, for their bipartisan work on this bill. this legislation, as was pointed out, passed out of the financial services committee with all but one vote. this brings government officials, business stakeholders to make recommendations to improve and facilitate small business capital formation. by directly addressing the recommendations of the forum, it will provide idea for future forums to address the concerns, ultimately leading to a more constructive and valuable process this legislation will enhance the role of the forum and assist the s.e.c. to focus on the capital needs of small businesses which as we've discussed several times today are the main drive over job creation in our e

mr. roskam: thank you, mr. speaker. thank you, mr. marchant. mr. speaker, mr. marchant has gotten people's attention this afternoon. i'm really surprised at how lively and engaged our friends ron the other side of the aisle and so it begs the question -- -- is so provock provocative about this bill? the administration to have a plan about the debt is provocation. i don't think the colleagues on the other side of the aisle have to take the bait. the ranking member said it came out with only republican votes. if i was a democrat i wouldn't say it. i would be trying to claim credit for this. why? because i come from the state of illinois and, mr. speaker, let me tell you what happens when you avoid problems. the state of illinois has avoided problems. year after year after year and now my home state has a $100 billion unfunded pension liability. that's a fact. illinois is a crisis. now, what mr. marchant is proposing is very simple and very clear and if this is provocative, i don't know how to deal with this. it requires the administration to lay out a proposal to

mr. toral was very responsive and came to her house and tested the water. in that same month. he was sent an invitation to appear as a witness before the committee.=ci> we did that last week. but in further discussions with the epa and given his excessive and appropriate responsiveness to the committee we have come to understand he's very active in the cleanup efforts as we speak. we therefore have excused him today and communicated to the epa after good discussions with the epa that they would provide all of his e-mails by the end of this week. we think that is a good and productive step forward. we did not compel or push to have mr. toral come before us today and a consultation with the democrats i think this is the right move. susan hedman is the former region five administrator to the epa. she is no stranger to the committee. july of 2015 we held a hearing about mismanagement and retaliation at the epa in region five which is based in chicago. this has been a problem for the committee

mr. upton: mr. speaker, i wish we weren't here today. i really wish we weren't. i wish this bill was not necessary. but it is. and our heart, all of us, go out to the folks of flint, michigan, the system let them down at every level. and that is frankly unacceptable. all folks want is the peace of mind that their governments are looking out for their best interest and their water is safe. this bill is the first step. imagine if you went to draw a cup of cold water from your kitchen faucet and suddenly to think about whether it's safe to drink or not. now put yourself into the shoes of a parent whose son or daughter has already take an drink from that faucet or made coffee or infant formula. what health risk has your child already been exposed to? what do we do now? how can we expect a family to live day to day without safe drinking water? after all those initial concerns, you begin asking yourself, how is that situation possible in the 21st century, in the united states of america? we've been lookin

mr. perry: 2022. mr. schweikert: except for the small problem of somehow between august and three weeks ago, when e got this new updated report, it's down to 2018. now all of a sudden, social security goes what we call negative, meaning it doesn't have enough revenues to cover its obligations system of it's going to -- in 20 months, the way we were doing the math is 20, 22 months, social security is going to have to start reaching over and cash in some of its bonds because the -- we pay ourselves 3.1% interest in the washington machine, where the general fund is reached over to the social security trust fund, taken the money and loaned it to our debt. this is devastating. if any of you have been in business or finance, when you start to use up, when you start to use up principal, you're in real trouble. so we lost four years but what caused -- mr. perry: so we lost four years but what caused losing four years? mr. schweikert: the economy, the great rate, taking money to shore up disability, and our recalc

- mrs. burns? - mrs. burns, according to a report i have, you had a slight accident in our store yesterday. - yes mr. connors, i fell down. - well we were wondering if you'd mind coming back in today. - oh no thanks, falling down once was enough for awhile. - well let's see if i have the facts correctly. apparently you fell and ruined a pair of nylons, now that was all the damage you suffered, right? right? right? playing it as cagey as her husband, she's not answering. hello? hello? - hello? - mrs. burns, let us concede that you did suffer some injury -- slight injury. would you say that your fall was due to our carpet having a hole in it, or due to it being loose? - well ... in good condition, that there was no hole in it? this woman is tough. she's not answering again. i have to make her an offer. - hello? - admitting everything, mrs. burns, there's not use letting a case like this run into a lawsuit, now is there? - of course not. - well then so shall we settle for the pair of nylons and a hundred dol

mr. butterworth wants to know if we can invite mr. and mrs. durham to be our houseguests for a few days. - when? - well, tonight, now. they're already in town, but they can't stay at the hotel. why not? mr. butterworth, i just spoke to dorothy, and our guest room is empty. so i'll be right down to the hotel to pick them up. and give my best regards to mrs. butterworth. good-bye. hazel: your boss sure has the nerves, inviting guests without giving us notice. hazel, i don't like the idea either, but since mr. butterworth thought it important enough to call from san francisco, we have to give them some consideration. i'm still waiting to hear why they can't stay at the hotel. you did remember to make the reservation, didn't you? oh, yes. that isn't it. mr. butterworth didn't go into detail, but he did say they were pretty upset because of the hotel's attitude toward their little rodney. you mean there's three of them? mr. and mrs. and their little boy? well, it seems like it. if he's as old as i am, that'll be great. well, i don't know whether he

won't you come right in, mr. davis? oh, come right in. hello, tiger. hello, mr. post. hi, mr. addison. tiger, i want you to meet mrs. post. this is tiger davis. i remember you, mrs. post. two years ago. the miss universe contest. oh. well, thank you. but that was someone else. well, i better get your room ready. don't bother, sweetie. we have more than enough room here. well, actually, kay. if carol doesn't... you stay out of this, father. well, how about that barn back there? i get up pretty early. i wouldn't wanna bother anybody. yeah, we could fix it up. i'm sure ed wouldn't mind. i get along with everybody. ed is my horse. (laughs) he doesn't play gin, but i wouldn't let him talk to you in any poker games. (laughs) (laughing) you're so thin to be a wrestler. uh, have you had lunch yet? oh, please don't bother. i don't eat much. oh, no bother at all. you've got to keep your strength up. we've got lots of cold cuts. oh, and i have some potato salad. i'll bring it right over. (laughs) uh, tiger, did you have enough lunch? oh, yeah. your wife and mrs. addison really stuffed me

and when mr. rockford, the decorator, arrives, i shall eject him bodily, - harry, please let's have the bedroom done over! - absolutely not! i see no reason whatever spending money decorating a room in which we spend all our time with our eyes closed. - but we don't! we see the room in the morning when we're getting dressed. - you may, but i have schooled myself to keeping my eyes closed while dressing. - why? - because i love you, and one look at you at that early hour of the morning would inevitably lead to divorce. - if we can have the bedroom done over, i'll even let you get away with that. - presumably you are unaware that the cost would be prohibitive. - no, it wouldn't! gracie says mr. rockford is very reasonable. - gracie said! it would be interesting to learn just what reasonable means to a person who was born without the ability to reason. - harry, insult me all you want, but not one word about gracie. - very well. - oh, shut up! (doorbell rings) that must be mr. rockford. come in! and h
