you called for mr. allen to drop tubnatorial race because of allegations surfaced against him of sexual harassment which he has denied. the question to you, should character matter in this race? if so, why haven't you mentioned the allegations against your fellow democrats? >> i don't think did i suggest that he drop out. i do believe that character does matter. i do believe being unfaithful is something that's terrible. beyond that. using public money to cover up something that is totally inappropriate is double trouble where i come from. i think we do need to look for leadership in this state of the it has to be somebody, yes, all smart people what is policing is courage and vision and heart. and a sense of self-control that makes certain that you are focused on the issues at hand and not on how much fun you can have. at the end of the day, it is inappropriate for any boss in any business or any government agency to make passes at women that work for them. when that happens, it ought to be given a shout out

mr. allen: thank you, mr. speaker. first, i'd like to thank chairwoman granger for her leadership and hard work on this critical legislation. voting for the annual department of defense appropriations act is one of the most important votes i take each year, and the great bipartisan work that the chairwoman and the ranking member have done to ensure that our military is fully funded is truly commendable. i rise today to talk about the allen-raskin amendment to h.r. 6157. this bipartisan amendment allocates $10 million to the fense p.o.w.-missing persons office to assist in identifying laimed remains missing since the korean conflict. as of today, there are almost 7,700 total personnel missing and unaccounted for since the korean conflict. one of those still unaccounted for is private first class ivan roberts, a proud native of georgia's 12th congressional district. november 5, 1951private first class roberts and three other men went missing during an attack to secure a korean hill complex. although i never had the oppor

the final results by the end of the month of these changes that you just described will kick in mr allen just to give you a few examples all of the sweeping new powers he will get he'll be able to appoint and fire ministers he can disclose paul humans he can call for new elections he will have a significant sway over choosing senior judges so he will be the center of political power soon and many observers here are saying there are no signs that he will ease down that he'll become less aggressive that he will suddenly release thousands of people from jail to the country that he will make full use of these new sweeping powers and with those powers you can understand if he doesn't really care what. critics may have to say but nevertheless the monitors they expressed criticism about the campaign they said that there was unbalanced reporting they said the restrictions under the state of emergency does all of this mean that mr everyone's victory as strong as it may appear is actually tainted. well that's certainly not what he would have made or what he would say i remember last year's wote wh

have the choice between freedom and fear if you work for me you work for freedom if you work for mr allen you won't for fear beyond that he is trying to give a deeply polarized society a vision for real if he cation a turkey is after all a deeply polarized society there are many conflicts here and he is trying to get to people beyond the traditional base of his own party he is appealing to religious voters he is appealing to many kurdish voters as well so his message is if you will for me i'll be a president for all of you are be a president for all eighty million people in turkey with a country so polarized as your savvy yuliya what is the most likely outcome of sunday's election where a poll saying. well there are many polls but many of them are not reliable at all but there is one picture emerging here and this picture is that mr add one will most likely win the presidential race he is the favorite candidate off the roll maybe not in the first round but in the second round although the opposition is hoping to force him into the second round runoff where he will maybe run against mr eng

not invincible that's for the presidential level on the pallium entry level the polls suggest that mr allen might lose the majority in parliament his a.k. party and the alliance the electoral alliance he has might lose the majority and then he would face a pall yemen a very diverse parliament but since turkey is making a transformation from the parliamentary to a presidential system on sunday the big question is how much will a parliament here in turkey still have to say after this election or in yulia earlier this week you did report about turkish people who are concerned about possible election manipulation just briefly if you can how free and fair are these elections going to be. when many people say these elections have never been free or fair from the very beginning since eighty percent of the media according to reporters without borders are now owned by companies close to the government this vote is taking place under a state of emergency which basically limits the rights of assembly and gives police added powers so these are the circumstances which don't make this election a very fre

mr. allen you're recognized for five minutes. >> thank you for joining us today. first question would be on the obviously the cost of health care as compared to other developed nations. in 1970, you know, most developed nations were between somewhere between 4% and 7% of gdp. today the united states is approaching 20%. the next closest nation is below 15%, around 13% of gdp. we're spending about 88,000 and change for per patient and other countries spending about half that much. and when you look at projections, our health care cost in this country are expected to grow exponentially if we don't do something about this. what do you, do you have, are you looking into this? and what recommendations do you see forward on how to bring us at least competitive in the world of health care? >> thank you. and absolutely. we get great health care in the united states. i personally have the benefit of that in the last couple of months so we're blessed to live in this country. we're blessed to have the quality of health care that we have. is it twice as good? as countries that

mr. allen: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in support of h.r. 6, the support for patients and communities act. i want to thank chairman walden and entire energy and commerce committee for their work on this important legislation. the support for patients and community act is yet another bipartisan effort aimed at preventing further opiate abuse and assisting those currently dealing with this addiction. this legislation will strengthen our efforts to advance treatment and recovery issues, improve prevention, protect our communities, and bolster the fight against deadly illicit drugs. we have made meaningful progress in our fight against the opiate epidemic throughout the country by passing over 50 bills in the house. but our work is far from over. no community is immune from this crisis. in 2016 alone, over 1,300 georgians lost their lives to opiate abuse. many of them in my community, my closest friends have had to deal with this. our senate colleagues should take note of this important work that we have done here
