but i have seen no bill from the gentleman from arizona, mr. quail. i have seen no bill -- mr. quayle. i have seen no bill like 4088 hasn't had a hearing, hasn't been through committee. and at the same time the rules committee thinks you can take all these interesting questions. should there or shouldn't there be an exemption? and debate them all in only 10 minutes, five minutes on a side. that hardly serves as a deliberative process. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for 30 seconds. mr. frank: i say some members think the bills may have more impact than i do. i hope i'm wrong. but if you really believe the bills are this important, why, then, is a debate only for 10 minutes on every single amendment? on the size, on the reporting requirements. we have amendments that have been requested by the north american securities administration, the state regulators. five minutes on the side. that is hardly a mark of people who take the deliberative process in the u.s. house of representatives very seriously. i thank the gentleman from colorado. the speaker pro tempore:

you mr bill thank you so much indeed for your time so we heard some pretty harsh rhetoric from but i could garner about punishing pyongyang what steps could the u.s. take to put north korea under more pressure. interesting question i'm not a lot they can do more noble already done may have been at it now for what sixty years or so i think is rhetoric i don't know much what it will do presumably this council will notice three months on dividing true days but i think that wasn't that wasn't producers off on the part of the convention like. president obama override and so lead and other leaders then visited the it's a myth tried between north and south korea why was that wrong was he trying to change well it's very interesting and it's adama came into office promising change and problems in to be instruments and from singers and promising that had to be seen the bit around see as big a difference and you know called his state of the union address will begin to be made a lot of fuss about the u.s. military and he's done the same again in seoul this this is. the oh yes it's is provocative

minister of the national transitional council for about seven and a half months i thank you very much mr bill for joining us today and the first question that we'd like to ask at this point today is the civil war really over in libya and who is in control at the moment well it was first krypton's so there was not somebody order in libya who was resisting being subject to what we consider the pollution did not start it. we considered the group. when we start talking about development and the issues when we start tackling those issues on equal footing for old people whose katyusha rights then said that that evolution is such that we have to have our national at least as you know good feet has destroyed and libyan army and he has stopped considered with what we called security brigades you know to protect the regime we have to use and establish a police department we have to connect those arms from the streets and we have to prepare the country for elections the next two or three minutes to have a transparent elections resulting and put out think a constituent that equalized the rights of all li

so i want to commend the bill's sponsors, mr. tipton from colorado, mr. gosar from arizona, for their work on this and i urge my colleagues to support the bill. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentlewoman from california is recognized. mrs. napolitano: thank you, mr. chair. i yield myself five minutes. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized for five minutes. mrs. napolitano: thank you, mr. chairman. i do rise in support of the general premise, i repeat the general premise of this legislation, but oppose the legislation as amended. i'd like to mention that overwhelm three out of 15 democrats support it. while it is bipartisan, it is minor bipartisanship on this particular issue. h.r. 2842 does seek to generate additional hydropower at the existing bureau of reclamation facilities, federal properties. through developing new process of conduit and in canal hydropower, which we should be developing at a greater speed and length. we cannot support this bill as amended even though the original bi

bill. i would very much hope that, mr. majority leader, that you could bring that bill to the floor and see whether or not in fact it could pass. i think that would be good for the country and i yield to my friend for his comments. mr. cantor: mr. speaker, i thank the gentleman and i would respond by saying to him that, no, i'm not prepared to bring that bill to the floor because i differ with him in his assumption that there would be enough bipartisan support to pass that bill in the house. and from all that i know about what's in the senate bill, there is a lot of disagreement over how that bill was constructed as far as house members are concerned and i would say to the gentleman, our plan is very clear. we have been outspoken on this, we do not want to disrupt the flow of federal transportation dollars which is why we'll be bringing to the floor next week a bill to provide for an extension of 90 days so that perhaps, as the gentleman would like, as would i, we could come together as two bodies and two parties on an agre

bill. and i don't find, mr. speaker, in this bill i don't find the word constrain and straitjacket anywhere. it does not exist in this bill and as i heard my colleagues talk about this bill, i think that they have not read the bill. so, unlike the 2,300-page bill that is being debated at the supreme court across the street, i would encourage them to pick up this little 21-page bill and give it a read. i've also found it very interesting, the white house and this administration likes to say transparency is the cornerstone of their administration, but i have seen them go to just extreme lengths it seems, the white house and the senate, to block bringing this process reform bill forward. yesterday the white house released a statement of administration policy saying, and i'm quoting, it is generally recognized that the f.c.c. has improved its practices and procedures to make it more effective. but the truth is, in the last 50 years what we have seen is that their rules and regulations, their impact, their footprint h

bill. he's right, mr. chairman. there is not just one job bill. there are are a multitude of job bills that have been addressed by this body generally on a bipartisan basis. and i might add, if you just go back just prior to our last district work period, we passed some bills over which were a series of bills that passed with bipartisan support over to the senate. i encourage my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, rather than talk about a lack of activity, go talk to your colleagues on the other side of the rotunda over there and say, move these jobs bills. that's what we ought to be doing. and furthermore, if there's two big issues that the american people are confronted with it today, it's jobs and energy. last year we passed energy jobs that created american jobs. don't come down on the floor and say we have not addressed energy jobs. this house has done its work. generally with bipartisan support, but i will note those that spoke on that voted no. i don't know what they want to do, create government jobs? is that the idea? so, mr. chair

mr. speaker, with that i'd again commend the sponsor of this bill, mr. huizenga, and i thank mr. green for managing this bill, and with that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass h.r. 4014. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 having responded in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed, and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. pusuant to clause 12a of rule 1rk the house will stand in recess subject to the call of the chair. there will be more argument tomorrow. you can listen to the argument on c-span3 at about 1:00. a c-span poll finds 95% of americans are interested in the outcome of the supreme court decision on health care. 86% said the nation's highest court should allow television cameras in the hearings. 74% support tv coverage of all supreme court hearings. right now, on c-span facebook page, we're asking how interested you are in the supreme court arguments on health care. >> i

bill. i have to say, mr. speaker, it's hard to keep track of opposition to this bill because in the last seven days alone, the royal college of physicians have called their first emergency general meeting in their history about the bill, he's lost the support of the british geriatric society and the royal college of pediatric and child health. so every week that goes by, more and more healthcare organizations come out against this bill. i've got a simple question for the prime minister, can he now give the house a list of significant health organizations who are still wholehearted supporters of the bill? >> he specifically said that -- it's very important -- >> order, the prime minister's been asked a question, let's hear the answer. >> he said that 98% of g.p.'s oppose the reform. that was the figure, 98%. let me give him the actual figures. there are 44,000 members of the royal college of g.p. a total, out of 44,000, just 7% responded opposing the bill. 7%. and what about the royal college of physiotherapist

republican colleagues are telling us we should forget about the 15 months since they crafted the highway bill. mr. bishop: they're telling us to forget about the last 16 weeks during which time their bill imploded and the bipartisan map 21 bill passed the senate with overwhelming bipartisan support. now they're telling the american people they need three additional months to find the money an shape a policy, an effort that thus far has elieu them, that can garner the votes in the house and be signed by the president of the united states. it gets better. on the very same day that they make this outrageous argument, they will vote for a republican budget that slashes investment in transportation infrastructure by 46%. 46%. 46% reduction in transportation and infrastructure. if they're serious about this vote, if they're serious about seing this destructive level of funding enacted into law, how can we take them seriously when they talk about a five-year bill. they talk about certainty, how can we give the american people or the construction industry or the construction workers certainty when they s

the bills will be posted on the calendar. mr. reid: mr. resident, today we resume consideration of the most important piece of jobs legislation we've had here in a long time, and that's the highway bill. but it's more than a highway bill. it's a surface transportation bill. it deals with all aspects of helping our failing bridges -- there are 70,000 of those. we have 20% of our highways in nonsafe condition. we have problems with our mass transportation system, rails, and other such things. so we have to move forward building this nation's infrastructure with this legislation alone. it will save or create 2.8 million jobs. this is an effort to build a world-class transportation system that was started during the presidency of dwight eisenhower. and every president since then has recognized the need to go forward with the vugs that general ice en-- with the vision that general eisenhower had. presidents in recent years have gone out of their way to do that. president reagan gave a number of speeches about how important it was that we begin t

mr. capuano is wholly in the spirit of this bill. mr. peters bill, one of the things that we were talking about, the gentleman from michigan, mr. peters, is to talk about job impact. these have been listed as a jobs bill. we have one of those foolish acronyms which i'm not fond, they call this the jobs whatever. mr. peters wants to know how many jobs are going to be created. i think that's very helpful. similarly the gentleman from california -- the gentlewoman from california, mrs. capps, wants to know what the real impact is. i will reserve the balance of my time at this point, but i did want to make clear that several of the subsequent amendments are not in any way derogatory to this bill. in fact, this bill does what it says, let's know about it. i reserve the balance of my time. i believe i have the right to close. the chair: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas has the right to close. because the gentleman is not a true opponent. from north carolina. mr. mchenry: i'm prepared to close. mr. frank:

bill. what is ipab? i happened to bring down with me today, mr. speaker, the front page of the president's health care bill. the patient protection and affordable care act, as he describes it. this was the 900-page law that was passed that completely restructured 1/6 of the american economy. completely restructured it. and the question then is, when we -- when we're talking about the patient protection and affordable care act, when we're talking about how we change the individual health care decisions that every american gets to make, what do we get for it? what's the value added there? because i think, mr. speaker, at the end of the day when folks are talking about what motivates them, it really is affordable care. that's why we named the bill this way. the patient protection and affordable care act. we want patients to be protected, to be able to make their own health care choices, we want care to be made available to folks at prices that american families can afford. 900 pages in that health care bill, mr. speaker. now, ipab is kind of the, how

mr. gingrey, is he aware that his bill, h.r. 5, eliminates several liability for both economic and noneconomic damages? and i yield to the gentleman for that purpose. mr. gingrey: well, i thank the gentleman for yielding. and it gives me an opportunity to explain and i'm sure the gentleman, it's his time, i appreciate him yielding. in regard to joint and civil liability, mr. chairman, it's important for our colleagues on the house floor and anyone within ear shouting distance to understand what we're talking about in regard to joint and several liability. under current law, under current law anyone who is named as a defendant and a medical malpractice suit -- in a medical malpractice suit is liable for whatever judgment is rendered. it matters not how much they participate in the case. let me give my good friend from michigan, the ranking member of the judiciary committee, an example. of course he knows this. let's say it's an ob-gyn case and the surgeon who has done a hysterectomy on friday is going to church on sunday morning and asks his colleague to stop by and see the patient and to tell

let'pa we can work together in a bipartisan way to pass the senate bill. mr. hastert when he was speaker he said he had to have a majority brick the bill to the floor. there was that -- half the members plus one on their side to bring it to the floor and we could work 0 on a now, either they can't get a majority of the majority or are insisting on 218. in any case, whatever they come up with, it won't be signed or even aproved by the senate or signed by the president. let's just get it done for the american people. time. time is important, and it's about time that we pass this very important jobs bill. and i don't know what -- again what miracle can happen. i'm a big believer in prayer and i engage in it, but i don't use it for legislation, but maybe that's what we needoy r somethi happen over passover and eastei devices we have seen nothing but kicking the can down the road and maybe even suggested they may kick it again. and every day that they kick the can more jobs for the taxpayer goes up and small businesses suffer, for lack of getting a big part of these
