mr. barr: thank you to the gentleman from colorado, i rise in support of this combined rule that will enable this house to consider the world bank accountability basket and the home mortgage disclosure act. i want to respond to the other the gentleman from colorado saying this house is not doing the people's business. we are doing it right now. we are working on immigration reform and to suggest otherwise is not true. in fact, on year-end spending, this house passed all appropriations bills ahead of time, ahead of schedule before the end of the fiscal year and they were sent over to the senate. this house dealt with the issues related to the child health insurance program and dealt with community health centers and whole range of other issues and those pieces of legislation went over to the senate. the issue is with the senate and not with this house. furthermore, this house has passed historic tax reform that has become law and passed over 16 congressional review acts rolling back obama rules

support of the israelis or the world if you use nonviolence you will get the support of everyone but mr barr busking to be fair i think the palestinians have already paid huge cost for their independence struggle and they are continuing to pay this huge post every day what i think you're essentially calling for is an anti thought and it's a regional meaning shaking things by civil disobedience by planned coordinated action rather than let's say the sporadic violence attacks and knives attacks but do you think the palestinians are still capable off channeling that anger channeling their sense of indignity into strategy rather than those outbursts round them outbursts of violence again this requires leadership and it requires leadership at all levels that the palestinians don't yet have for twelve years they haven't had elections or eleven years haven't had elections they've had a divided political house for ten years between the west bank and gaza they need to get their house in order and this is of course the palestinians responsibility to do it but i see a new young generation of published

thanks for the effort to start this process, mr. barr, in evaluating how we adjust cifius' resource needs on behalf of the administration as well as balance the new challenges to our country. i appreciate my friend from north carolina taking a leadership role in the topic as well. i'd like to explore the issue, maybe starting with you, ambassador, talking about the challenges of licensing technology opposed to outright acquisition of it. could you reflect on that and how that gets reviewed in the process? >> i will defer to -- >> we'll let others, too. >> two panelists to the left. what i would say is there is no definition of national security either in existing law or the new bill. i think that's very wise because national security is a dynamic concept, quite different today than it was during the cold war. to me, it's the summation of foreign defense and international economic policies all resting on a strong intelligence base. when those cfius committee members come together they have responsibility in their statutes and regulations

mr. sala salvador lopez barr. thank you. >> thank you, and study hard and get ready for finals. now, we have advisory committee report by the parent pac. >> good evening. >> good evening, commissioners, superintendent, and president walton. on back of the pac, we'd like to extend our condolences to the lee family and the city of san francisco. we're really sorry for their loss. we all acknowledge the works of the mayor, and he will be truly missed in our hearts. the role of the parent advisory council is to empower parent role and perspectives. this report provides an update on the pac's areas. in november and december, pac member rebecca page and elsie -- and program coordinator georgia williams bradford met with the ucsf coordinators fellow to gather feedback from the various stakeholders will school transportation opportunities and challenges to address. there in our initial meeting, the pac had the opportunity to share the concerns of families raised during our community conversations over the past two years about transportation and its impact on school choice tardiness, chr

mr. williams. >> thank you, chairman barr, on your important work. most importantly the house-passed increase on sanctions. given the overwhelmingly increased aggression under the kim regime this legislation cannot be timelier. i would like to recognize our experts. i thank them for joining us this afternoon. i appreciate your time and i appreciate your expert testimony. america and some of her most important allies such as israel under the constant threat by those that wish to harm us and the work that both of you do in the sanction field has to keep the bad actors away. appreciate that. though there are areas that we can improve in dealing with the world's foremost state sponsored terrorism in iran. after eight years of flawed policy culminating with a terrible jcpoa i'm encouraged by the president's direction. so assistant secretary billingslea, thank you for being here and iran continues to be extremely concerning to me and those i represent. we must do all we can to ensure that appropriate sanctions are enacted. to that end i recently sponsored

member waters, chairman barr and ranking member moore as well as my friend from wisconsin for their support and determination to get this important bill scheduled and passed. with that, mr. speaker, i'll reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from connecticut reserves. the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. duffy: mr. speaker, i only have a couple brief comments. again, i think it's an important note to use the capacity at the mint that cost no additional money to the mint. but as mr. himes pointed out, we're celebrating innovation. and as a country we continue to innovate and create in a way that no one else does in the world and it's that innovation and creation that creates more and better jobs for our societies, our communities and for our families. so to celebrate that by way of a coin that costs the taxpayer no money but celebrates this great american trade i think is a wonderful idea and so with that i, again, urge all members to support this bill and i would yeble. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from wisconsin yields. the gentleman from connecticut. mr. himes: i thank the gentleman from wisconsin, again. i have no further reque
