mr. brooks cited some in port and statistics about the lack of improvement. since the ada, there has been a zero percent improvement in the percentage. what are your thoughts on expanding the american dreams for americans with disabilities? >> i would wholeheartedly support an effort that would improve the environment for the principle of work. that is what the country was based on. we've begun to do this in the area of entitlements. a lot of the discussion around the nutrition program had to be with restoring the work requirement. if someone is going to get a benefit, he ought to be willing to try to work. if there is a job available, fine. if not, participate in a training program. to commit to volunteer service. the same principles should be applied to the disability community. we should provide a pathway for those who are disabled to enjoy what our country is about, which is built on the principle of work. i look forward to looking at that further. >> one of the things we addressed in my choice act is a component for kids with special needs. we allow for

mrs. brooks: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today in strong support of h.r. 3610, the stop exploitation through trafficking act, and i want to thank the chairman and all of my colleagues who have worked so hard in a bipartisan basis to get the bills to this point. madam speaker, there's a silent epidemic affecting all of our communities across the country that often goes unnoticed and unpunished, sex trafficking is one of the most misunderstood yet prevalent crimes occurring every day in every state in america. according to the trafficking and persons report produced by the state department, 27 million men, women and children are victims of some form of human trafficking. sadly, it disproportionately affects young women who fall victim to organized crime networks and are trafficked nationally. unfortunately in my home state of indiana we are not immune to this problem. just recently a man was arrested after being stopped for a routine traffic violation in hancock county. he was found to be transporting a 12 and 13-year-o

mr. brooks, and then we'll have the response. >> mr. chairman, i take a moment to respond to the rather part sfwlan mischaracterization and my remarks by congressman connolly of virginia. as the record shows and proves i merely ask the witnesses to detail what the obama administration has done or not done to encourage the united nations in accord with the first sentence of its charter to engage in "effective collective measures for the prevention of threats to the peace." mr. chairman i submit that questions directed at getting the united nations to do its job so that america does not have to once again be the only sheriff in town is something all members of congress of both parties can get behind without the kinds of partisan attacks and responses that were recently uttered. thank you for the time. >> thank you to my friend for yielding. first of all, i want to make something very clear. this hearing has made me even more concerned than i was when i caulked in the door. that is a fundamental radical nature of boko haram and the radical

mr. mo brooks of alabama. >> thank you, mr. chairman. in your judgment does nigeria currently have the police or military capability of defeating boko haram? >> congressman, from my perspective, nigeria's military is the force with which i'm most familiar and they have been a premiere peacekeeping force for many decades, focused external to their country, if you think about their long history in that regard. and the process of retooling from a peacekeeping orientation to focusing on a domestic insurgency is something that takes an entire recalibration in terms of how you engage in your home country. i would say -- >> might i infer from your comments that you just made that the answer is no? that as of today, they don't? that things have to be done before they have that capability? >> part of it -- when we speak of the capability, part of it is the strategic approach and the mindset. as yet, nigeria has not yet finalized a counterterrorism strategic approach which i think leaves gaps in terms of the operational employment of the security

mr. blount for five minutes. >> chairman brooks ranking member member edwards does he wish morceau subtwenty thank you for the opportunity to bid peer before you today. space traffic management is a complex issue and i will briefly summarize my written statement. as a concept it contains two different elements. these are the technical capabilities needed to control space traffic in and the legal regime which governs behavior. i will primarily be addressing the legal aspects of space traffic management and will do so in the context of the international obligations of the united states. international space fun compasses a variety of principles that set the balance of appropriate state conduct in outer space. these principles are broad in scope and largely and a fine. the lack of definition means the united states is in a unique position to influence the content of these norms to help create a safe and secure space environment. international space love grants all states the rights of free access to outer space. additionally stage show under article ix of the treaty engaging in space activities

brookings think tank who wrote. a consequence of putting using a word to add twelve a cab to the cavalry of our time with planes and blood again mr talbot is somehow suggesting that the russian president is responsible for the killings and not the proteas radicals who have actually attacked these people we know this we hear no clear do not see action of this kind of violence coming from u.s. officials they have firmly sided themselves with authorities in kiev and everyone in ukraine who opposes the government here in the view of washington just received their instructions from. one of the biggest concerns that we've seen is the russian propaganda that has been. blasted out nonstop. suggesting somehow that the ukrainian government is responsible for the problems in eastern ukraine ukrainian government has shown remarkable restraint throughout process this . yes president obama spoke early after his meeting with german chancellor angela merkel and basically dismissed the call protest against cuba sponsored and controlled by russia and put the responsibility for the escalation on moscow alone president obama also showed full support
