absolutely sent some budget requests to us for these bills, as he will for other appropriations bills mr. speaker. in the case of -- in the case of the energy and water appropriations bill, the president requested a 5% increase in that funding. now, had we passed that 5% increase without changing the law, we're going to roll around october 1, the beginning of the fiscal year, and the law is going to snap that 5% increase right back down to legally allowed levels so the choice we have in the appropriations committee -- and i so admire my friends on the appropriations committee, mr. speaker -- we had a choice of pretending we were going to spend a lot of money funding our provites only to have the -- priorities only to have those laws snap it across the board or we can be honest about how much money was available and make sure we were prioritizing every single dollar as best we could. in the case of energy and water, the president asked for a 5% increase. the appropriations committee provided for a 3% increase, as the law allows. in the case of military construction, the v.a., the presiden

mr. speaker, that's exactly what this bill does. mr. speaker, i think this bill will help to facilitate greater cooperation and efforts to protect our nation's digital information, including power grids and utilities and other services and by removing barriers which will allow private companies to voluntarily -- voluntarily share their cybersecurity threat information with the department of homeland security and other companies i think we will in a very large way improve earlier detection and mitigation of potential threats. additionally, this legislation that we're debating on the floor today ensures that personal identityification information is removed -- identification information is removed prior to information and safeguards are put in place for civil liberties. mr. speaker, i point that out because that's something that was discussed a lot by practically every member by the homeland security committee. we were all united on that issue and i think it's a critical important point to make and is reflected in this legislation. as mr.

with this bill, mr. speaker, amounts contributed to such organizations will not be subject to the gift tax. i urge all my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote yes to house bill 1104. mr. speaker, with this i reserve the balance of my time and thank my colleagues, the chairman, the chair of the subcommittee and all of the members of the committee for supporting this piece of legislation and other pieces. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia reserves. the gentleman from wisconsin is recognized. mr. ryan: i yield myself susm time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: -- such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. ryan: are you getting a theme here, mr. speaker? what's happened here individuals were giving donations to tax exempt organizations. nonprofit organizations. and as they should have, not expected to have to pay taxes on those donations. the internal revenue service sent these letters that tease -- to these donors to th

this bill, mr. speaker, is a compromise from last year's bipartisan bill and in an effort to gain even more support on both sides of the aisle, we introduced a bipartisan compromise this congress. this is not a democrat or republican issue. it's an affordability of housing issue for rural america. we cannot forget about rural america, mr. speaker. these are my constituents and many folks here that serve in this body. so i urge my colleagues to support this and with that, i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from california. ms. waters: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from is recognized for as much time as she wishes to choose. ms. waters: i rise in opposition to h.r. 650 which would undermind the d.o.d. frank reform act and eliminate consumer protections. the talking points described this bill as one that preserves access to manufactured housin

mr. heck put into this bill, that maybe somebody would have listened to him and said, you know, mr. heck, you put your time in on this bill, we're not going to do this to your bill but going to stick with that bipartisan that we all along, but that has gone missing in this place. . be and no small business person listening to this debate should be bamboozled, tricked or led astray to believe that rhetoric on this floor is about helping them. the fact is a lot of small business people are protected by predatory lenders that the cfpb stops. a lot of small business people open their business with a credit card. you rely on the cfpb to keep the predation away from them. they are in fact the beneficiaries of the work of the cfpb. but i want to say that all of these bills to attack the cfpb harm the american people. these bills make it easier to steer them into costly loans strip their wealth. these bills divert the cfpb resources from protecting consumers to costly, unnecessary, bureaucratic activities. last week we had a bill to repeal the cfpb rules that protect buyers of manufactured h

congress must not agree to fast track a fast track bill right now, mr. chairman. e time allotted between the introduction of the bill, hearings, committee consideration and floor action is really short. and it's a sign that i believe that if it had more time and more people knew about it, more people, not less people, would oppose it. a new and effective trade negotiating authority must do the following -- it must ensure that congress approves trade agreement partners before negotiations begin. create negotiating objectives that are specific to the individual trading partners that we're dealing with, because they're all different. ensure that congress, not the executive branch, determines whether the congressional trade objectives have been met. ensure congress has effective opportunities to strip expedited consideration provisions from trade deals that fail to meet congressional objectives or to incorporate congressional and public participation. increase access to u.s. trade policymaking, trade proposals and negotiating text for congress, congressional staff and

as far as the underlying bill is concerned, mr. speaker the underlying bills that we are considering here today i would urge my colleagues to vote know on this rule, because it's a closed rule and two bills would undermine the dodd-frank financial reform legislation. let me remind my colleagues why we have that legislation to begin with and it is because we saw what the excesses of some in the financial industry had done. our economy almost -- was ruined because of those excesses. and consumer rights were trampled on. so we passed a moderate and sensible kind of check on some of these financial institutions and that's the dodd-frank legislation and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle it's a puzzlement to me, have spent almost waking moment that they have trying to undo that, trying to take away protections for consumers, trying to take away protections for small businesses, for homeowners. it doesn't make any sense, it doesn't make any sense at all. mr. speaker, i would again i would urge my colleagues to vote no on the pre

mr. forbes puts in the bill and there will be less money to do other things. so it does cost money. the reason for the compromise reached last year was in part to say i don't disagree with anything mr. forbes said about the cruisers aircraft carriers attack submarines in all of that. unfortunately as i said in my opening remarks a couple hours ago the theme of what we are dealing with, we do not have as much money as we would like to have or at this point that we need to have to adequately fund our priorities. said there's two choices here. number one is something i'm an advocate for, to get rid of the budget control act and be prepared to put up the money necessary to pay for the national security and the national defense will hear everybody on the committee say that we want. we are unwilling to do that but we played a couple games could make that work. i will mention the word tags quickly. if we are absolutely committed to providing a national security they need and the cruisers we need, we could god forbid, raise revenue and pay for it. but since we are not doing that the departme

mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman from michigan for his leadership on our committee and for his leadership on bringing this bill through our committee on a strong bipartisan vote. i got to tell you mr. speaker it is with great pride that the house financial services committee just a couple of weeks ago voted out 11 different bills to help american families achieve that coveted goal of financial independence. and part and parcel of that request, that dream, is the dream of home ownership. regrettably there are some people within this body who believe in bipartisanship more in theory chan they do in practice -- than they do in practice. i regret those who supported a bill before they were against it, but that's where we are here today. what we're really about here is trying to ensure that low and moderate income people do not have their federal government protect them out of their homes. and what we have seen is bad and dumb regulation out of washington do just that. the goal of consumer protection ought to be to help empower consumers to buy homes they can afford to keep, that we have competitive, trnt parent, i

mr. heck put into this bill, that maybe somebody would have listened to him and said, you know, mr. heck, you put your time in on this bill, we're not going to do this to your bill but going to stick with that bipartisan that we all along, but that has gone missing in this place. . be and no small business person listening to this debate should be bamboozled, tricked or led astray to believe that rhetoric on this floor is about helping them. the fact is a lot of small business people are protected by predatory lenders that the cfpb stops. a lot of small business people open their business with a credit card. you rely on the cfpb to keep the predation away from them. they are in fact the beneficiaries of the work of the cfpb. but i want to say that all of these bills to attack the cfpb harm the american people. these bills make it easier to steer them into costly loans strip their wealth. these bills divert the cfpb resources from protecting consumers to costly, unnecessary, bureaucratic activities. last week we had a bill to repeal the cfpb rules that protect buyers of manufactured h

mr. buckley, your syntax is horrible, roy kelly, illinois. to which bill replied, dr. mr. kelly, if you had my sin tax you'd be rich, wfb. or perhaps a bit of whimsy that struck our friend as he peru's the daily news. dear mr. buckley, i see that the senator from south dakota made a speech in a church. do you suppose we could get hubert humphrey and jacob jabts to debate in a temple? that would be a case of a demagogue and a pedagogue having a dialogue in a synagogue. or bill might use notes and asides to set the record straight as he diddane letter to san francisco chronicle columnist. con had written it was to peter mars's lovely sad eye's wife audry that bill buckley said what is the secret behind those sad eyes. departing hastily when autedry replied, it is the sadness of a socialist looking at a fascist republican. bill's reply, a, i have never laid eyes on mrs. moss as far as i know. b, i have said to anyone what is -- i have never said to anyone in -- to anyone what is the secret behind those sad eyes and c, if mrs. maus or anyone else had proffered such an explanat

i hope -- i'm going to support the bill in the committee mr. chairman because i think trade professional authority, it's important we have the tpp. i'm not totally satisfied with this bill. i've been working with congressman on religious freedom issues. you will see it in the amendment i'm withdrawing that we have the religious freedom issues that i think we really need to deal with. i've been working on the anticorruption issues to deal with independent prosecutors and independent courts and making sure they are adequately funded. these are important issues and mr. chairman let me say i hope we can approve this bill is a most forward. we do benefit then we have good strong trade agreement and we do create jobs and it's good for american businesses. we also have to make sure it's good for american work is. that is why many of us are concerned that these bills move forward will tpa be inactive along with a trade though? i know you are sincere about that but there are other issues we hope will be there to help working families as we move these bil

mr. burgess of texas. at the end of the bill, before the short title, insert the following new section section, none of the funds made available in this act may be used one, to implement or enforce section 430.32-x of title 10, code of federal regulations or, two, to implement or enforce the standards established by the tables contained in section 325-i-1-b of the energy policy and conservation act, 42 united states code, 6295-i-1-b with respect to bpar lamps b.r. lamps and e.r. lamps. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 223, the gentleman from texas and a member opposed each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from texas for five minutes. mr. burgess: i thank the chairman. mr. chairman, i rise today to offer an amendment that actually maintains current law. since its passage in 2007, i've heard from tens of thousands of constituents how the language in the 2007 energy independence and security act will take away consumer choice when deciding what lightbulb to use in your home -- light bulb to uasi

mr. doyle: i thank my good friend for yielding me time. i want to thank him for support of this bill in committee and here on the floor. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of h.r. 1690 legislation to designate the federal courthouse in pittsburgh, pennsylvania, as the joseph f. weis jr. united states courthouse. i have the honor and privilege of representing the city of pittsburgh in the house of representatives. joseph f. weis jr. was a well-known and respected individual in western pennsylvania who served his country both as a soldier and as a judge. naming the federal courthouse in pittsburgh would be fitting recognition for an individual with such a long and distinguished record of service to his country. joe weis left college and enlisted in the u.s. army during world war ii. later in life he described that decision simply as the thing to do. the country was at war and i felt i should be out there doing my share. and he clearly did. he was wounded twice fighting in france with the fourth armored division. he was awarded the bronze star for valor and a purple heart with an oak

and it's been in bills since then but it applied mr. president, and has always applied to government money. taxpayer money. taxpayer money. and what we have said over the last couple weeks time and time again is hyde should not be expanded to cover nontaxpayer dollars. that's what this is all about. and we're not going to bend on that issue mr. president. it's not right. we do not need to expand hyde. we think that the republicans believe this is a way to pacify their right-to-life community some of these -- not all but some of these ideologues out there who want to expand hyde. we're not going to allow that to happen. hyde should apply to taxpayer-funded money and nothing else. mr. president, what has taken place on the direction of human trafficking is an effort to obfuscate, to hide the real purpose of the legislation. we all agree that human trafficking should stop. with this legislation we have before us is a step in the right direction and we want to support that legislation and our friend the republican leader says all ire compla

bill? all right. thank you mr. chairman. an amendment one, two and three asked to an amendment 12 13 should to roll the 3 into 1. without objection. 1 2, 3. brown 1, 2, 3. thank you mr. chairman. i call the amendments the ta bill to be considered in block. and that senators and menendez be added as co-sponsors without objection. thank you. for the workers to 575 million a year. this is the same level that is was included in the bipartisan taa bill and earlier i would have to thank the senator for the inarest in the opening statement and he talked about the the importants avenue vigorous trade adjustment assistance. what it means for workers in the state. and i look around this room in the states that have had pretty much all of us have had layoffs. described to trade. and sometimes not a describe to trade with countries of who we have. offset with the application of the statute of limitations and a some say that 4 50 million the amount included in an unlying bill of enough to operate the program there. no reason to increase

so all i'm saying is we have a bill on which there is bipartisan support. i see my friend, mr. lucas, on the floor on the ag bill. he gave the most eloquent statements on the floor that i heard about -- look, we have a bipartisan agreement. don't look bipartisanship in the eye and say no. so we're turning a bipartisan bill into a partisan bill, not because we're against paying for it. we're for paying for it. but we're against undermining the ability of the consumer financial protection board to protect consumers as it was designed and we need to adequately fund it without adding responsibilities and reducing its resources to protect the public. if the gentleman wants to say anything further i'll yield to him. if not i'll go on to another subject. mr. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman for yielding and i appreciate his comments. as the gentleman knows most every american has had to in the last few years cut back based upon an economy. i do not believe it's too difficult to find $9 million out of a $600 million budget a year, and i would think the consumers would expect that of the

but there's another bill in here, mr. speaker, and i just want to say a few words about that and that's h.j.res. 43. disapproving the district of columbia's reproductive health nondiscrimination amendment act, it's called. mr. speaker, the d.c. reproductive health nondiscrimination amendment act is scheduled to take effect this saturday. the law passed unanimously by the d.c. security council unanimously. this would protect employees who work in the district of columbia from workplace discrimination based on their personal reproductive health care decisions. the bill is about basic fairness. people should be judged at work based on their performance, not on their personal private reproductive health care decisions. but house republicans cannot pass up an opportunity to meddle in personal reproductive decisions or d.c.'s right to govern itself. the resolution before us, h.j.res. 43, would prevent the law going -- from going into effect. in doing so it would allow an employer to fire a woman because she used in vitro fertil

please help give a warm welcome to mr. bill whittle. [applause] >> hi, everybody. i like to get this close to me in case i decide to pick up a little religion tonight, give me a chance to take a step back so i can hear how loud i'm actually been. it's a pleasure to back your. last time i wish i did realize how close i was to berkeley and is limited and i was somewhat surprised that my skin didn't burst into flames but apparently i'm just a degree or two women then it would be otherwise. it's great to be up here. we have a large large problem ahead of us. many times we talk about problems in the real world we talk about the problems of demographics the problems of demographics in terms of the west's print, just demographically disappeared. we have a problem as concerts in terms of the demographics of the country. ever since things like civics and history were removed from high schools, history of the note today anyway, we face the fact that younger and younger and younger people are becoming more and more left wing. it's not an accident they are not taught about our

mr. chairman, you asked me to offer my amendment on bahrain to the earlier bill. >> then we're done. >> yes. >> that's good. who is next, anybody else? >> chairman? >> i think your amendment is next. >> mr. chairman, i'll just talk about amendment number 77. we know a number of us virtually everybody here, is trying to move in the direction of leveling the playing field. lots of ways to get there. a lot of debate about how to get there. i think it's important we focus on some of the basic challenges or impediment that is a lot of our firms have. it's troubling to so many of us in both parties that many of our trading partners operate what are sometimes known as state-owned enterprises. we should take action to confront that challenge. it's made worse by the fact we don't seem to have tools in place to combat that or fight against it. one of the tools to fight against that would be what's contained in my amendment. i want to offer it today to talk about it. i have an amendment that instructs the department of commerce to exclude, exclude, state-owned enterprises from calculations in dumping,

mr. donahue, not on this particular bill, which i know you're strongly for, but do you believe we should be doing something on currency manipulation? that's it's a problem for our country, china's currency manipulation. mr. trumka: e.p.i. says currency manipulation alone cost this country five million jobs. if we eliminate we have the chance to gain almost six million jobs. we strongly support that. it needs to be part of the agreement. i would also say though, mr. chairman -- senator schumer, that some of our partners in t.p.p. have been identified as currency manipulators, malaysia, japan, and singapore. senator schumer: i do. my bill just applies to china. mr. donahue. mr. donahue: as we have debated many subjects, as we know, that the china card, so to speak, is an issue we'll be dealing with for many years. it's complicated by serious problems in china as well. economic problems. my view about this bill is that there is a very serious attention to currency. as it should be. and it is at a point where i would encourage moving ahead without major amendments. in terms of dealing with cu

bill. i know you mr. chairman have a strong interest in this issue and i think that's good however this amendment is necessary because we believe combating these anti-israeli effort should be principle negotiating objective. i would demonstrate the importance of the issue. ensures better trade negotiators will continue just like they did with bahrain and amman. a watered-down version of the amendment doesn't make this a principle negotiating objective and therefore it wouldn't be enough. aipac is written a letter today quote would help the committee will support the amendment and not dilute its language. it is essential this bill and the principle negotiating objectives for a trade negotiators which of course is the point of this amendment. again on the 30th anniversary of our first agreement with israel i would hope we would come together stand with israel in the face of threats by the romney battlefield or the negotiating table and i would urge my colleagues to support this amendment. >> a few senator.
