"not without surprise," i bet you can say that again. they say it's a private matter for mr wagner but they maintain that, as they put it, "islam does not belong in g

i also want to thank mrs. wagner from missouri for sponsoring this bill, along with the help of our friends on the other side. you notice, mr. speaker, that everybody that's in line, mostly who's to speak, are women and i want to congratulate the women in congress because they have taken the lead for making sure that we stop this scourge of human sex trafficking. i also want to thank the different groups -- victims' groups throughout the country who have continued to give us input on what we can do to make those laws better. i call those groups the victims' posse because they are here all the time, rounding us up, telling us what is necessary and to make lives better for victims. mr. speaker, according to most, alexia was a well-adjusted 15-year-old girl, teenager. but like many young people she struggled with insecurity and loneliness. when a handsome and sympathetic man reached out to her on social media she was immediately taken in by his kind and comforting words. many don't know the evils of human trafficking ar

mr. wagner to come up here and to go over the details. but originally approximately mid last year we said that the original t.c.o. for 10 years is about $377 million. currently we are tracking below that and mainly because we had a significant contingency and it's good that we had a significant contingency because we realized that we had unknowns and those unknowns are the third-party value-added technology like business analytics and like empi and data storage for electronic content management. those contracts which originally we started with approximately 150 contracts are now down to approximately under 70 because we were able to compress some of them. and i know that some of you had concerns with so many contracts which takes many, many months how we could do it before epic go live. i'm happy to report that one of the things that i am able to say is that, yes, it is a very big list for the legal team and the contracted team and the business, but we are on track to meet the timeline of having those ready by march and may. all right, so

mr. wagner said in the last hearing, we've submitted our base budget overview. we committed a number of proposals that didn't meet target and the concern on the initial proposal is we were very lopside in how we spread out our savings and how we met the target over two years. at this commission hearing we're bringing forward a complete balancing plan. one that actually corrects for the lopsidedness using appropriations and pre-funded appropriations for project in year one. that should hopefully address that issue as well as an additional handful of issues we'd like to bring forward for your consideration. most significantly is the electronic health records initiative we brought forward and we have paper copies here. let me walk you through this table. the first line is an updated projection of what we feel the project will cost from '17, '18 through 1920 and from mr. kim's presentation last year when he updated on the project basically the bulk of implementation has begun for 1920. the numbers were updated after we finalized the contract with epic and enabled us

speaker, i yield three minutes to the gentlewoman from missouri, mrs. wagner. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. mrs. wagner: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the chairman and ranking member for their support. mr. speaker, today i rise in support of senate bill 1438, the gateway arch national park designation act. and i would like to start by thanking senator blunt and congressman clay for their leadership on this issue. renaming the arch and the area surrounding it will finally make its name consistent with how people from around the world identify it and our city. we are indeed the gateway to the west. in 1935, the jefferson national expansion memorial was created as a unit of the national park service, and today it includes a museum, the old st. louis courthouse, and the gateway arch national monument. it was built to honor the role that president thomas jefferson played in opening the american west and the settlers who followed the footsteps of the louis and clark and their core of discovery. in addition, it encompasses the old st. louis

mrs. wagner: i thank the speaker. and i thank the chairman. h.r. 1153, the mortgage choice act, provides needed clarity to the calculation of points and fees for qualified mortgages. q.m.'s. especially for those companies affiliated with real estate brokers. established under the ability to repay q.m. section of the truth in lending act, h.r. 1153 would amend the definition of points and fees and allow more loans to qualify. thus increasing choices for all borrowers. chairman huizenga's bipartisan legislation does not create a q.m. loophole like some would argue. instead, h.r. 1153 rightly attempts to level the playing field regardless whether the lender is affiliated with a title agency or not. in addition, h.r. 1153 does not allow high cost loans to qualify as q.m.'s. by allowing loans with the same points and fees to be treated equally under the law, chairman huizenga's bill corrects one of the many flaws of the post dodd-frank era. thanks to the mortgage choice act, it will now be easier for low and moderate income americans to buy a home.
