mr. baca: that's correct. mr. chaffetz: my question, my concern about this -- i have one about recognizing sports folks and that's a separate issue. he certainly accomplished so much on the golf course and off the golf course. i admire the work you have done in this congress, but it does seem to be a huge conflict of interest to sponsor a bill recognizing chi chi rodriguez who then in turn for his accomplishments for youth programs of the congressional hispanic caucus institute, isn't that a conflict of interest? mr. baca: no, it's not. it's someone who has contributed and it's a bipartisan individual -- those who belong to the chci board as well and we welcome those who just got elected to become part of that board to say, we got to award individuals. it's not about conflict of interest. it's about doing something that's positive for individuals. when someone is going to receive something in return then it becomes a conflict of interest. we are not receiving anything in return. all we're doing is honoring an indi

research fellow of the international center of code terrorism joining us on the line tonight from hey mr baca thanks for taking the time and to be where this now we're told the eleven arrested a part of an international terror network but as you see it what kind of terror network are we talking about there maybe al qaeda well it is an international group but it's belgium based and it includes people with a dutch belgium. moroccan and russian passports but it's international but it's very focused on belgium with possible links to the northern caucasus especially chechnya all right so say not al qaeda. i don't think so it seems to be a very european group but of course they are part of this global jihad of which al-qaeda is the main i can. hope possible is it that these people will be convicted if they are arrested before they stays out of the attacks are going to be i mean how difficult is it to prove their intentions at this as far as we know early stage . well i think the police were investigating this group for a longer time so probably probably to search as leads to maybe the illegal posse

mr. baca: when president obama took office he inherited a $1.2 trillion deficit, two wars, the recession, mounting job losses that pushed our economy to the brink. since then we have made steady progress towards recovery and laid the groundwork to create new jobs. but during these tough times, we must act decisively to extend the tax relief for middle class families. if congress does not act soon, 98% of the americans will face a tax increase in january 1. for this typical middle class family, this means the loss of 2,000 next year. that's a lot to middle income families. the republicans must stop holding these tax cuts for the middle class hostage. extending the tax cuts for the rich will not create jobs and stimulate the economy. but it will add, i state, it will add, $700 billion to our national deficit. $700 billion to our national deficit. the time for simply saying no is over. let's work together to create jobs. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman'
