and mr. adams brings that from the community. we're not looking for people who only work in this area or that's their april focus. we have an experienced staff. we are looking for folks with common sense. when you look at the commissioners on the commission now we have someone when we say a media professional and someone whose a retired lawyer. we have an attorney who did legal malpractice cases and other context cases. we've got another one who did advocacy around transit. we have an ethics commission of very experienced members of our community who bring different life prospective's and different expertise to this commission. and mr. adams brings significant and expertise to this commission. he's a very thorough person and has significantly run on >> and the only reason i met with anyone candidate is one reached out and the other did not. and i'm not supporting this motion because i think the names have been publically noticed and if there were any problem with the names they should have been dealt with. a lot of the work happe

protect people or property violence the problem in the sense that sparked all this is precisely that mr adam was elected but with a large majority but many of the things he's done since he was elected weren't in his party program people were led to expect them whether these big property development schemes that the government supports but doesn't republican ties what exactly they involve or for instance his sudden turnaround from being a friend of their stance a friend of gadhafi receiving prizes from that arkansas to basically engaging in a very cold war now increasingly in a hot war with people who used to be friends of the two thousand when he reacted so we have to face the problem that there's this sense of a gap between what his public statements used to be and then are the capricious i'm not making policy on the hoof and that seems to be the case for instance with the case in part he says now that it's not going to be what people have been led to think of was it's going to be something much more cultural acceptable but maybe maybe it will be a bit more for i said the first time for wha

economic implications and the turkish economy which had been doing very well for the first ten years of mr adams was beginning to stall the property boom is turning into a bubble bursting the war with syria is of course worrying people with violence on the border but also if you then begin to have measures that frighten off tour including of course his measures about alcohol has more reform measures you begin to get a whole dangerous may launch of issues all bubbling up together and i'm not sure that the government really has thought through what is its main priority who are the people that it really needs to keep on board does it really need to and all these different groups does actually the center of istanbul not need at least one bit of green space it's a huge city with very little space and of course people say how can we have democracy there's nowhere where you can demonstrate it everywhere is for women only narrow streets i'm afraid like it or not you needed to progress where you needed to the point mark thanks very much program one of the boiling pot pot there as you say mark colvin and

adams, a great line, mr. john quincy adams goes over my calling cards every day as if they were a battle plan. when you look at what she is doing, this historic mystery assault. -- mystery is solved. wives who acted as campaign managers. >> we get to the house of wins.sentatives, adams all of those men had been entertained by adams. one of them went back to his boarding house where he promised where he would not vote for adams on the first ballot. they will not let him sit down to dinner, because they are very mature -- [laughter] wife, them writes to his everyone says his wife made him do it. >> she instituted something -- .his is a town where allegiance she would hold these parties ever tuesday night, but you would be invited for the season. you did not have to go overnight, but you better not show up anywhere else at anybody's party. she acted almost as a whip. >> she had a big boss. >> i want to get to you in a minute. roosevelt did not want to go to the convention. to be drafted and named by acclamation.

mrs. needham adamant that no, he didn't plant those lilac bushes.f her. >> and you're certain your memory is infallible? >> that i definitely remember. >> you remember everything? >> oh, no. >> do you have any difficulties with your memory? >> i tend to forget things and remember other things. >> in order to believe her you've got to put aside the fact that she remembers some things and forgets other things. >> the defense lawyer also disagreed with the medical cher's opinion that the young man's explanation for shredding his hands on the wooden pallet was highly unlikely. >> nobody can prove that you can't sheer off the skin from a pallet to me. >> also couldn't find any traces of blood or skin on it. >> nothing was found on it, but that doesn't mean that jeffrey's story doesn't pan out. >> and then there was this theme running through the trial, the perception that jeffrey was faking his grief. >> to show that he didn't show enough emotion is not evidence of a crime, certainly not proof that he killed his mother. >> was jeffrey even a fundamentall

she has a great line, mr. adams, john quincy adams goes over my calling cards every day as if they were a battle plan. when you look at what she is doing, this historic mystery is solved. it was their wives who acted as campaign managers. >> we get to the house of representatives, adams wins. all of those men had been entertained by adams. one of them went back to his boarding house where he promised where he would not vote for adams on the first ballot. they will not let him sit down to dinner, because they are very mature -- [laughter] one of them writes to his wife, everyone says his wife made him do it. >> she instituted something -- she would hold these parties ever tuesday night, but you would be invited for the season. you did not have to go overnight, but you better not show up anywhere else at anybody's party. she acted almost as a whip. >> she had a big boss. >> i want to get to you in a minute. franklin roosevelt did not want to go to the convention. he wanted to be drafted and named by acclamation. this

she wrote a letter saying, mr. adams goes over my calling cards every day so there is sort of a battle plan. when we look at what she is doing, there is a mystery solve, because we understand in an era when men could not run for office, they had to be called upon, it was their wives that acted as campaign managers. >> so what happens when you get to the house of representatives, adams was on the first ballot, which flabbergasted everyone. but the truth is, all of those women had been et entertained by louisa adams. one of them went back to his boarding house where he promised that he would not put adams on the first ballot and they won't sit down to dinner because they are very mature. and well behaved. [laughter] and one of them writes to his wife, "everyone says his wife made him do it." and his wife was skylar, hamilton's sister. >> so this is a town where are iance and attendance equal. >> so you would accept an invitation for every single tuesday night. you better not go -- you may not go tuesday night, but you bett

mckeon and mr. adam smith. i thank the committee and professional staff for the many long hours that they have put into getting this bill ready. i rise in strong support of h.r. 1960. this bill works to ensure that our men and women in uniform are well trained and equipped to defend our nation and its allies. although this bill represents the hard work and efforts of both the majority and minority, i want to highlight the need to resolve sequestration. i hope that this congress undertakes serious efforts to finally fix sequestration with a comprehensive solution. we can avoid this problem. i would like to highlight a few important readiness issues. the bill provides a one-year extension of authority for certain pay and benefits to civilian personnel who are forward deployed, performing critical frations overseas and in combat zones. we are requiring g.a.o. to look into how the furloughs of civilian are being implemented by the department of defense to ensure they are being implemented and understand the impact

if you create jobs at 175,000 a month, mr. adamny of brookings institution says we're years away, closed quote, from where we need to be in unemployment rate. the real reason is economic growth has not increased much. and it goes on to cite some real sad numbers that show the danger for people who have been unemployed for longer periods of time. it does appear, unfortunately, that somebody who's older, somebody who's not found the job for quite a number of months finds it even harder to find a job in the future. and this is the "wall street journal." they support immigration aggressively but this is their story. they talked about mr. ken gray, his frustration. in january of 2011, mr. gray's wife died after a battle with ovarian cancer. three months later, he was laid off from his job as an account manager at at&t, where he'd work for more than 20 years. sill grieving from the loss of his wife, mr. gray was slow to turn his full attention to his job search. by the time he did, the chicago resident was long-term unemployed and he has

adam: the world is watching mr. snowden.ore on the worldwide demand, where in the world is edward snowden? president obama saying he is not getting personally involved because he expects other countries to abide by internationalmc9 law. the president emphasized he does not plan to go to great lengths to capture snowden saying "i'm not going to go scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker." it remains sheltered in moscow and he says he still has other unreleased nsa documents in his possession. lori: shouldn't take it so lightly. adam: we can kidnap him and he can be tried doesn't matter how he gets here, once you are here you can still be tried. lori: no pay, but lots of experience. part of the deal when it comes to internship. those suing their former employer. adam: john stossel will come up next with a message for those people. and a shout out to isabella rivera. we will be right back. friday night, buddy. you are gonna need a wingman. and my cash back keeps the party going. but my airline miles take it worldwide.

mr. bernanke on steroid in female form. adamor wall street but even if perhaps she is completing the president as tracy says, potentially good for the president because she would continue free money for the economy? >> not, this is, we're getting in dangerous territory here. if you keep printing money there is pointtwhere you create massive, massive asset bubbles some people say still exist. when the bubbles unwind, when i say bubbles, people buying riskier investments that blow up like in 1994, orange county bankruptcy, orange county was invested in risky assets that could be one thing that holds her back. one thing we will have, and i think that is pretty clear, continue ages an even more so of the accommodationist policy of ben bernanke. using monetary policy to stimulate the economy. one of the tragedies is that the obama economy will not be able to stand on its own. what the market is saying right now, if it does have to stand on its own, if you take bernanke at his word, remember he will not be here next year, remember it

mr. gary babb. he was a sheriff deputy, the seth of detectives in bedford county. his son, adam, was struck and maimed by a drunk driver that was an illegal alien. this particular driver, mr. ramos, had previous convictions for driving suspended and manufacturing false driver's licenses. at the time of -- he struck adam babb, it became his second dui conviction. this bill, if in effect, and if that situation happened again, someone like mr. ramos would be deportable. in my written testimony i indicated at the time he may not have been deportable, i learned today he may in fact have been deported. the reason that i indicate that, part of the issue is between local and federal enforcement is those communication channels where we can obtain the information with need that when we set down with those victims, and we explain to the families, what has happened to the offender, when will they be bee reeseed? anything that can assist to us provide that closure, to provide the information, would be of great assistance to local law enforcement. but the key elements are communication, coord

mr. chairman. john adams knew facts are stubborn things. they are hidden, used as tools or weapons, but they wait for us. we have to seek them with the lamp of truth and put them into words. you and i speak different languages in this republic. you speak the language of power, of pens, purse, and gavel. i speak american grassroots. the language of liberty, through providence, property, and civic virtue. we seldom speak together about the rule of law unless it is ignored or violatedded, and now is such a time. i have a story that bridges the distance between my state of california and this capital. what i say here must be said here. pilgrims brought to this continent a lamp of light, persevering for freedom. we sit in the shadows of washington, jefferson, and lincoln, visiting here memorials to those who failed service in the country. they persevered for righteous power. the spirit of patriots living in dead grants me the right to be here, my duty as an american citizen to speak here today. in october 2010, the san fernando valley patriots,

mr. show experience. we have tim and eric of tim and eric, awesome show. great job. we have the mighty boosh from overseas. we have zach galifianakis, adamumph, the insult comedy dog. i'm talking fast. we have 25 awesome people. i can't remember any other names. they are all just as good as those. >> jimmy: ten natiacious d, youn attraction. tenacious d. >> we are like the carnival barker hosts of the whole thing. >> jimmy: the other thing that you are here to tell us about is a film you have coming out that sounds great. >> thank you for bringing this up. we just finished shooting. it's a sequel me and kyle have been passionate about it. can we look at it. >> jimmy: we would love to have a look at it. take a look. jack's new movie. >> back in high school i had it all, brains, skills, girls, but after graduation everything just fell apart. now i've got no job, no girlfriend and one very annoying roommate. >> scott, scott! >> what, dad? >> you clogged the drain again, son. >> i'm a shedder, sue me. sometimes i think we're cursed. dad, how come we can't change back to humans anymore? >> because our hearts are filled with bitterness and reg

adam: so let's keep it simple. did the fed or at least mr. akin to put match, trying to put it out by throwing it into a tank of gasoline? have they tried to warn about the end of potential purchase of securities, drive up mortgage rates and killing housing market and put us back where we started all over again? >> if rates keep rising the way they have over three weeks or so then that probably will cause the economy and specifically the housing market to slow. if that happens, then rates are going to fall again. so i think that he was trying to clarify a situation that got really murky because of, kind of an offhand comment in his testimony at the jec on may 22nd and i also think that there was some people who thought he was going to try to put the genie back in the bottle. the genie that was let out on may 22nd and of course he can't do that. so he was very straightforward. i think what did what he needed to do but a lot of people in the market weren't ready for bad news. kind of like when you have to take your medicine. ashley: boy, we did

mr. defazio: claim time in opposition and in adamant opposition. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. defazio: this amendment would prohibit the department of interior offshore agencies from using voluntary and commonsense planning as part of the national ocean policy, to inform decisions they make under existing laws. it's interesting that the national ocean industry association, which represents offshore energy developers of many kinds, yesterday noted, and this is a quote regarding this program, this is a great example of the progress that can be made when industry and regulating agencies communicate with each other. it's gratifying -- this is the industry talking -- it's gratifying to see government and an industry come together to cooperatively and responsibly address these complex and important environmental issues. and the gentleman's amendment would bring that program to a halt, which obviously, you know, the industry actually seems to think is useful. i would yield the balance of the time that i have to mr. farr. i h

mr. speaker, what i see are the facts and not speculation. that's why i'm adamant we need to repeal this terrible law. mr. speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from california seek recognition? >> i ask without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. mrs. capps: mr. speaker, i rise today in recognition of the 50th anniversary of the equal pay act. this law was the very first step to closing the gender wage gap. it was also a statement about our values. that women and men deserve equal pay for equal work. but 50 years later, women continue to be devaled. equal pay is not only a woman's issue, it's a family issue. families rely on women's wages to make ends meet. and the extra $11,000 a woman would make each year if she was fairly compensated has real value. it could pay for a year and a half of child care or feed a family of four with money to spare. every dollar matters. for hardworking women and families. what's better than the equal pay act 50th anniversary? a paycheck fairne

mr. enyart, lacy clay, dan lipinski, emanuel cleaver, vicki hartzler, adam kinzinger, blaine luetkemeyer and jason smith. today marks a bipartisan opportunity to honor all of american's heroes as well as a legend of america's national pastime. nearly .3 million of america's 23 million veterans live in illinois and missouri. naming this bridge that links these two states is another way to honor the brey men and brave women who have served our country. while it's co--- whether it's coming together to pass critical veterans' funding measures like we did earlier this month on this very floor or recognizing our veterans by naming this bridge this bod has shown it can come together in support of our veterans. this bill would also honor the legacy of stan musial. mr. speaker, the st. louis cardinals are one of the most storied and successful first rate franchises in sports history and the best player to ever don a st. louis cardinal uniform was stan "the man" musial. born in pennsylvania in 1920, stan musial lived in an amazing, inspiring life. on the field, he was a 24-time all-star, three-tim

[laughter] >> that is another issue. she would have a very interesting memoir, however the point is that there were at many women at least two or witnesses or involved in the american revolution. but we don't know that much about them and the accounts if we have from those who are left in mrs. loring is a perfect example among others are very scant. there are only a few. we we know for instance that there were women spies and we get a few sentences here and there and women during the lexington and concord when the british were marching, we know american patriot women through -- down on them to the to keep them. we only have scraps aside from the women you mention and this is always been a real frustration to me, throw frustration. i said there have to be more accounts and there has to be correspondence and that is how i began writing the book. the other one which of course intrigues the writer is coincidence and coincidencoinciden t and coincidental in my research there were two women

mrs. obama is saying in washington with her daughter. the chinese place a lot of emphasis on the double date so to speak. i guess they have to wait until next time. guys? adamars covering chinese economic stories. you were in beijing. i'm curious do most people believe the numbers, economic numbers what the government puts them out? do take them honestly and seriously? >> take them with a grain of salt especially the gdp numbers are supposedly above 8%. eight is the magic number that is what a lot of people in china consider to be stable economic growth. for rest of us huge economic growth. eight is a lucky number. it has shrunk from 9, slowly down as we've seen. i would certainly say grain of salt. not exactly what they say it is. adam: all right, thank you very much. joling at the breaking newsdesk. lori: look at electricity usage, if you want to determine the economic pace of china, because it is a lot lower than the gdp growth. adam: a lost people calling for eventual collapse and rebuilding of china, it hasn't happened yet. jim chanos, gordan chang. they will be right eventually but the eventuallily hasn't come. lori: it will be fascinating meeting. ch

mr. chairman, i want to be held on record as seeking an adamant opposition to the -- >> the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. thank you if you look at the process of brac, planning and proposing is the process. implementation is the end product of the. so he took wednesday welcome were going to plan and proposed brac, to me that's the process. and if you look at the other element of planning that are being undertaken right now that look at where we're going, that is, what is the strategy, you have the secretary of defense that's doing a strategic choice and management review. you have the qdr, and then you also have an independent review team done by this committee. if are going to do planning, planning is putting together information to achieve an objective. if we don't know what the objective is why in the world would want to continue to go down the road to plan and proposed a brac? it doesn't make any sense. in addition to the uncertainties that are out there with a drawdown of forces in afghanistan, with the end strength reduction. additional to this in that rea

mr. president, john m meecham's book is one i have been reading. adams said, "no republic could ever last which has not had a cent strong enough to bear up against all the popular storms and passions. trusting a popular aseemly for the preservation of our liberties is emplacable. quks quks alexis de tocqueville saw only two great threats for our young democracy. one was russia. one was the tyranny of the majority. and finally, as the republican leader so well stated, there's no excuse here for all this talk. the democrats are manufacturing a crises. to suggest that republicans are holding things up unnecessarily is absolute nonsense. in fact, over the last two congresses, we've made it easier for any president to have his or her nominations secured. "the washington post" on march 18, congressional research service on march 23 said that president obama's nominations for cabinet are moving through the senate at least as rapidly as his two predecessor's since then. the secretary of energy has been confirmed 97-0. there may be another three up this week. the

mr. chairman. i want to thank chairman mckeon and ranking member adam smith for their efforts, they had given to representative tsongas and myself the task of doing a bipartisan package to address sexual assault in the military. we know and people have spoke on this house floor on the tragedy of the issue of sexual assault in the military. we have to do something to change the churl and change the legislative regime that affects the protection of sexual assault and victims. many times victims report they are revictimized by the system. we want to ensure the perpetrator fears the system, not the victim. there is one other thing we need to address. many people have taken to the floor and said we need to go farther. the turner amendment is what we need to do to go farther. we have put in this bill currently a mandatory minimum meaning if you commit a sexual assault, you are subject to a statutory minimum that minimum in this bill unfortunately is only, you're out of the military. we want toin crease that to include two years of confinement. mr. chairman, 22125eu9s -- states have mandatory minimums that include co

mr. are what will it as together a country and one community to the next. >> adam secretary, i think it is important to recognize that people at the gravitas of it going close -- glenn close, bradley cooper, people changing how they speak about mental health issues can have an enormous impact in what they produce and shaping attitudes toward tomorrow. we appreciate people like glenn who's willing to step out, like radley, to change attitudes by what they see on television, by what they see at the movies and that's a very powerful tool and you organized here today. >> well, i think there's no question that having personal stories is critical and having the media to help drive that, we have some wonderful partners who are going to be part of the affair. not only the national association of broadcasters, but a number of venues, mtv and others. social media leaders willing to use their platforms, but they need to be inspired by personal stories, so it's a combination of the platforms and the media messages. >> well, i want to go back. i think are really critical thing for us to focus on a piec

mr. otis argued the same things that were being argued in the wilkes case in great britain. and sam adams was present for those arguments so he was communicating with john wilkes and he was listening to the arguments against general warrants or writs of assistance ade by mr. otis. what this ultimately led to was the fact that in our country we have long held it deer that we do not issue general warrants. and to read the patriot act, to say that you can obtain the phone records of millions of americans, if in fact that be true, and it appears to be the case, that you can use that act to do sort of backdoor a general warrant on information on most, if not all, american citizens is to forget that we have a right against search and seizure because of the reasoning of our founding fathers and the work of mr. otis and the work of mr. wilkes. and they can't be seen just in the vacuum on that. churchill later goes on to acknowledge that the work of wilkes, because wilkes was pushing the issue on freedom of press, that entire movement not only led to an expansion in great britain of the freedom of

adam and yelled back. for the discussion on his amendment? >> mr. chairman? would like to speak a little to the amendment, please. >> the gentle lady is recognized for five minutes. >> mr. chairman, that the start by thanking you and ranking member smith and the committee staff for working with me to include a number of my amendment in the package. mr. chairman, this country has an unbelievable group of men and women who dedicate their lives to serving and defending our country. they add to the military knowing that it is an honorable institution and they will be held up to a higher standard. servicemen and women volunteer to defend this country knowing that if they look to protect this country their country will protect them. unfortunately when we look at the number of related reports of sexual assault this is not the case for at least 26,000 men and women. i think back to napoleon who said, "it takes a really bad man to make a really good soldier." we in this country have a different definition for our military. we honor them and we lift them up. we think t

mr. pascrell: thank you madam speaker, thank you, congressman smith, for your great service to your state and country. adam speaker, we've lost a great man then senator lautenberg passed away last onday, i lost a good friend. the city has produced many great individuals and characters alike but few if any have a life story like frank lautenberg. like me, he grew up on the streets of paterson, literally. both of us came from families of immigrants who came to paterson. like pilgrims. ike plymouth rock. it was paterson plymouth rock, that's what it was, when you come down to it. we had the same dreams, many thousands in our city had the same dream. through hard work and determination, we learned that you could provide your children with a better life and a successful future. despite all the dreams for the young -- for their young son, i don't think that sam and molly lautenberg, frank's beautiful parents, deceased, ever could have imagined all that frank would eventually achieve. only in america. but then again, frank never forgot the sacrifices his family made for him. he learned what real hard work was fro

mrs. potter palmer, whose husband built the palmer house in chicago. julia ward howe. elizabeth blackwell, the first female doctor in the country. luisa katherine adams who i think was a granddaughter of the first luisa katherine, the first lady. ann carrie thomas, head of bryn mawr. these women decided this would be their mission, they were going to raise $100,000 to help johns hopkins put up this medical school and the men acquiesced and the women divided the country into 15 geographical regions and invited caroline harrison to be the person in charge of washington, d.c. -- caroline harrison to be the person in charge of washington, d.c. she had several receptions in the white house and of course this was wonderful publicity and legitimacy for this group of women and their mission to get women into the medical school and she also went to baltimore several times. and was the guest of honor at the reception that mary elizabeth fware rhett held. it was a very successful kind of lobbying, if you will, and the women came through and raised the money. >> and caroline harrison used the white house to advance the causes she was interested in. >> absolutely

time abigail received a response from john adams like many things she had solved the problem and reported to john later she had taken care of the problem and paid mr. hayden to leave the premises therefore providing the opportunity for her to how's refugees fleeing from boston. there are troops that are marching in her yard practicing their maneuvers in preparation for war. she reports to john that young john quincy is out behind the house marching proudly behind the militia. at one point there were militias living in the upstairs attick and upstairs floor. she welcomed them to her home and supported the war with her actions. in 1787 abigail realized they had outgrown their little cottage and she began to negotiate through her cousin to purchase the house we're standing in front of right now. john adams enjoyed a lot of peace and tranquility at this home as did abigail so he christened his home peace field. there were two rooms on the first floor, two rooms on the second and three smaller bedrooms on the third floor and a small kitchen in the back of the house so essentially seven and a half rooms. this was their home base. before becoming first l

adam mccoal mines from my personal staff. -- mccolmes from my personal staff. i'd also like to thank donna, and tracey. i'd also like to thank mrs. lowey and mr. rogers, the chairman and the ranking member, who served so valiantly and who are so diligently trying to seek after the well-being of our service men and women, their families and our veterans. at this time, madam chair, i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman from georgia reserves. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. culberson: thank you, madam chairman. the house budget that we adopt set a total spending limit of $967 billion and in the three years that we have -- that the republicans have had the majority in the house, under the leadership of mr. rogers of kentucky, for the first time since world war ii, we have reduced annual spending from year to year, each year under chairman rogers' leadership. and it's also, i think, important for the country to know that one of the first and most important responsibilities of the chairman of the full committee is to take that total spending number that's given to us by chairman ryan's budget committee

john adams, second president of the united states, said our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. it is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. mr. speaker, the people of the united states are great people. this government is a great government. but when the attack comes on what makes america america and that it's liberty and it's -- and its freedom and its moral and traditional heritage that's being impinge -- impinged upon for violating rights of conscience, we must stand and stand firmly. i thank the gentleman from nebraska for pulling us together to speak out clearly tonight and i would hope, mr. speaker, that those who are listening and watching tonight on c-span will speak out very strongly to their communities and families, calling us back to decency, order, conviction, and a conscience that even god can honor. i yield back. mr. fortenberry: i thank the gentleman for his powerful remarks. the rights of conscience go way beyond the issues of health care. thank you for your leadership on this issue as well. i want to turn to congressman dan lipinski and i yield to him. as i said in the beginning of this hour, this is not ab

adam, it became his second conviction. this bill if that situation happened again, someone would be deep portable. in my written testimony on the indicated that at the time mr. ramose might not have been be portable, i learned today that he may have been deported. the reason that i indicate that, part of the issues between local and federal law enforcement is those communication channels where we can obtain the information that we need when we sit down with those victims and explain to the families what has happened to the offender? when will they be released? anything that can assist us to provide that information would be of great assistance to local law enforcement but again the key elements are communication, coordination and cooperation. i believe this bill gives the opportunity to do that. as a commonwealth attorney as a prosecutor it is my job to clear the innocent as it is to convict the guilty. i believe all dedicated prosecutors that operate from that paradigm share that view. nothing prevents local, state and federal agencies working together in cooperation with the first step is to fully fund and man the personnel of the federal level that have
