mr. wilson. >> thank you mr. chairman and i would like to clarify that in fact this is a process that will work. it has worked with reprocessing in france. we can make it work here in the united states. there have been cost overruns ranking member smith and you are correct but at the same time the different alternatives that have been proposed would cost more. that is why the provision i would provide for a study and additional costs could be avoided by completing the project and additionally another point too is that there will be customers for this fuel. in industry of uranium-based fuel based on when the fuel could be provided and as soon as that is determined and at the last minute is when they purchase comes about. again it's going to be an offset to the cost and benefit to the people of united states but a consequence of facing weapons-grade plutonium in our country without a plan when we do have a facility 62% completed which also will work it's just not in the interest of the american people. just to have

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, according to a recent article in the "wall street journal," quote, though ba ma administration said friday it would let states decide whether to implement a key part of the health care law's small business exchanges next year. extending an earlier delay. the department of health and human services said in rules released friday that it will be up to state insurance commissioners to decide whether employers and employees at small businesses using health exchanges for workers in 2015, if they can show it would be in the best interest of the insurance market of the state, end of quote. the lengthy list of implemented obamacare delays confirm the president knows, his signature health care law is unworkable and destroys jobs. changing the law without congressional approval also shows the president wants to conceal the true consequences of the failed law until after the mid-term elections in november. we must put poll takes side and do what is best for the american people and repeal

mr. engel, and thank you, congresswoman wilson, for this resolution. mr. speaker, what we've seen take place in nigeria, the crimes perpetrated by boko haram are simply unthinkable and appalling and there are some crimes against humanity that should not be tolerated, regardless of where they occur in the world. and the violent kidnapping of over 250 girls for the sole reason that they were seeking an education is one such crime. innocent girls who should be carefree, but instead are prisoners enduring the unimaginable. and in the 21st century, we cannot let this kind of horror against children go unanswered. so first i want to thank president obama for sending the multidisciplinary team to nigeria where they are working with the united kingdom, france and israel to help resolve this crisis. i am proud to support this resolution condemning boko haram and calling for continued united states support to return these girls safely to their families and bring these terrorists to justice. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, a firm education prepares america's children for life-long success. this year the office of the second congressional district hosted the first annual elementary school challenge where we encouraged third graders to write in and share their favorite part of south carolina history. this from ul for those who participated. students from over 100 third grade classrooms shared lessons of history which are very meaningful for today. zackary, a student at round top elementary school, won this year's competition. he shared his story of the best friend of charleston, america's first regularly scheduled passenger service train which was built in 1831 between charleston and hamburg which is now near north augusta on the savannah river in akin county. his parents, wayne and susan, should be proud of zackary's accomplishments and the bright future he has ahead of him. i am confident that round top elementary school principal and teacher will continue to prepare our young people for success. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the american people have lost faith in the administration. when four of america's heroes were brutally murdered at the consulate in benghazi, libya, the president promised the families of the fallen that he would bring those responsible to justice and prevent a future attack. congress has held countless hearings to conduct oversight responsibilities through the last 19 months. last week a secret memo was discovered. despite subpoenas, unanswered questions remain as to how the administration handled the attack. we must continue to pursue every avenue to ensure all americans remain safe from terrorists -- terrorist attacks at home and abroad. because the administration continues to provide a misleading coverup, we owe it to those who have died for america to develop a select committee, to continue the investiga

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, the american people have known since april 23, 2012, over two years ago, by a letter of 63 members of congress to the i.r.s. commissioner, that the i.r.s. has targeted political organizations which question the president. congress has the responsibility to the american people to determine the facts and prevent future threats to american families. sadly, the administration has refused to cooperate with house republicans to facilitate oversight investigation. instead of helping to restore the american people's faith in impartial government, key i.r.s. officials remain silent. last night the house voted to hold former i.r.s. employee lois lerner in contempt because she refused to tell the truth before congress. congress also asked attorney general eric holder to appoint a special council to further investigate this scandal. the administration should take this opportunity to restore accountability, put politics aside and help congress provide citizens and the groups who were unfa

mr. smith for his important legislation involving sex trafficking. i'd like to commend ms. wilson for her resolution that aims to take on the tough issue of the abduction of these female students by boko haram. anytime we have an opportunity to stand up against terror and in support of children's rights, we should do it. but i really want to thank my friend and colleague chafor her work in moving the act forward and for doing it swiftly. i'm proud to be an original co-sponsor. this bill will empower the administration are w. tools to crack down on human rights abuses taking place against those seeking basic freedoms in venezuela. people in venezuela have the democratic right to supreme of speech, to freedom of assembly, on do process and the democratic right to a responsive government. tragically the madura regime has trampled over each of these rights. this government has continued its repressive policies. journalists are imprisoned, protesters are subjected to serious abuses, torture and even death. and for what? simple li becauy because of ven demanding greater security where 2

mr. lobe will be on the board of directors are nominated for the board. that is harry wilson and reza and the two nominees from sothebys will be expanding the board. so you have the slate which will include dan loeb. it is a win for mr. loeb. this has been a hard fought battle. this was reminiscent of his earlier days before he reached institutional size well in it's nastiness and cleverness. but this has been a hard fought battle. backing two of its nominees. that can have carrying degrees of influence. there was a belief that he would win one if not two or three in this case. but they expand. they are not replacing any directors they are expanding the size of the board. again, that was a great top. becky, the interview was amazing. and he has ac man. they talked about the notion that shareholders make noise now. and it has impact. it was clear that it was case by case. i didn't think this could happen. low lost in delaware court this bid to try to defeat it poison pill there. it has been a new theme in acvism. in the case of hurtz or air products. the pill p ps were put in

mr. president, my children are not little kids anymore, but in nevada we had some, we had segregation. i can remember a man i served on the state legislature with. his name was woodrow wilson, african-american. and he told me about las vegas taking his children to a lunch counter. it was in a drugstore. they told him to leave. he couldn't eat there. that's las vegas. that's not mississippi. so things, things changed in nevada. when my children were young, schools were not really segregated like i just described was going on in kansas, but they still had some issues. in nevada, all sixth graders, white kids, were bused to an african-american community to go to school for one year of their school career, but the rest of the time the black kids were bused. one year white kids were bused. the rest of the time black kids were bused. that's gone now. but it was handled differently. was that good, what took place for my two oldest children? no. but it was better than it used to be. so, mr. president, after six decades, our nation still owes a debt to those few brave individuals who stood against racial segregation in american schools. and the lawyer there was a man by the name of

wilson where he leads their powerful gospel choir. i ask my colleagues to join me in showing our heart felt congratulations to a great north carolinian to a great american, mr. william earl "bill" meyers. i thank you, mr. speaker, for yielding time. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, r. thompson, for five minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, today i rise as a proud co-sponsor of h.r. 3116, the modern cures act. a.l.s., also known as lou gehrig's disease is a progressive, fatal neuromuse could you lahr disorder often resulting in paralysis. as a former rehabilitation therapist and manager, i witnessed firsthand the devastating impact that this disease takes of individual lives and family members. a life expectancy after diagnosis of a.l.s. is an average of two to five years. veterans are twice as likery to experience -- likely to experience and die from a.l.s. as the general public. what's even worse, mr. speaker, there remains no cure. the modern cures act would speed up the development of new and better treatment for patients with chronic diseases an

wilson for her resolution, h.r. 73, which says, condemning the abduction of female students by armed militants from the terrorist group known as boko haram in the federal republic of nye screeria -- nigeria. mr. speaker, it is clear that what happened in nigeria is outside the circle of civilized human behavior. it is unconscionable and these demissble acts must be condemned -- despicable acts must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. the capture and captivity of these girls challenges the conscience of the world in a very specific, in a very different way. and perhaps that difference can make a difference. i wholeheartedly support the decision by president obama, secretary kerry and the dministration to deploy aid, personnel, law enforcement and military experts to nigeria to partner with local authorities to find these girls and return them home. i commend the women members of , in a bipartisan way, 100% of the women, have signed a letter condemning these actions. i absolute the first lady for her -- salute the first lady for her bring back our girls tweet and hope that members will also be doing that. because the most horrible form of torture for someone who is held by terrorists
