mr. davis: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspend. the house will be in order. members, please take your conversations off the floor. the gentleman from kentucky. mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise tonight in support of h.r. 1194, a bill to extend child welfare waiver authority. this bill will allow states to test innovative approaches to improve the way we protect children from abuse and neglect in doing so it extends authority that was in place between 1994 and 2006 that has since lapsed. since 2006, the department of health and human services has not had the authority to approve new efforts by states to test better ways of helping children at the risk of abuse or neglect. the bill before us today would simply allow h.h.s. to approve new waivers once again so states can test new ways of betting serving children and families -- better serving children and families. mr. speaker, the house is not i

chair now recognized the lady from california, mrs. davis for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. as my colleague stated, this has been in law. there's really no sunset on this law. it continues. current law state and i'll quote it again, in determining the meaning of any act or congress of any ruling, regulation, or interpretation of the various administrator bureaus or agent -- agency in the united states, the marriage is between own man and one woman, and spouse referred to the opposite sex of the husband or wife. it's depula cootive to put the change in the bill. they have made clear they are bound, as is every other federal agency. so i would certainly ask my colleagues to take a look at this. as my colleague actually makes the point that doma deals only with the definition of marriage. it does not speak toal -- speak to federal employees or the use. all it does is define marriage. that's all doma does. >> would the gentlelady yield? >> yes, i yield. >> thank you. it does go further than just the definition though. it says any ruling, regulation, interpretation of t

mrs. davis: thank you. i want to thank you for taking this time today. we know that the events that occurred just a few days ago were really the result of multiple government agencies bridging together over a number of years, but today, at this time, i want to rise to honor one of our nation's finest fighting forces, our navy seals. my district is home to cored in aow where all seals undergo basic training as well as the naval special warfare command. over the years i've had the pleasure of meeting these brave young seals, who are willing to do a job that most of us would rather not even imagine. and quite frankly we can hardly imagine many of the things that they're asked to do. and the most amazing thing to me is they do this job so quietly. they really don't talk about their work. but you can see it often on their faces and the fact that they are very proud of what they do and they are very proud to be americans. these men ask nothing in return for the work that they do, a quality that i cert

mr. davis: thank you. mrs. christensen: at this time i'd like to yield to the gentleman from virginia, congressman bobby scott. mr. scott: thank you, thank you. i appreciate you yielding time and appreciate you bringing to the attention of the american public the need for continued support for those who are unemployed. the current economic climate has taken a toll on many families across the nation and while the economy may be growing, there's still almost 14 million unemployed people nationally and the unemployment rate is hovering at 9%. we need to take serious steps to address this crisis and create policies that create jobs. from the long-term perspective, we need to be investing in our work force, by investing in education and job training through early ed -- beginning with early childhood education and continuing through college and vocational education as well as adult education and training. unfortunately the republican budget makes huge cut ises -- cuts in our nation's education system by cutting inves

mrs. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of h.r. 1540, the national defense authorization act of fiscal year 2012. as the ranking member of the military personnel subcommittee, i want to recognize chairman mckeon and ranking member smith for their leadership as well as subcommittee chairman wilson for his bipartisan work to enhance the quality of life for our service members, retirees, survivors and their families. as americans, it is our responsibility and our privilege to support our men and women in uniform and their families, given the enormous sacrifices they make to ensure the security of our nation. these men and women have volunteered to give their lives to protect and defend what we hold dear, liberty and freedom. nothing can substitute for their commitment and sacrifice. and i'm proud to support a -- 1.6% pay raise in our bill. our service members have earned this pay raise and deserve no less. i am also pleased that this bill include authority for the secretary of defense to establish apprentices

taylor and mr. davis i'm going to ask if there is any example you have of a problem that the companies of corrected. one of the things i hear is when there are problems usually the company moves forward to self correct before anybody else even knows the are a problem and a couple examples would be helpful if you have them. ms. novelli, does apple track the location of my iphone? but we do not track the location. we do not, sir. estimate and is it flogging and right now? it's on. is it logging on or is there some login system that you will get from my iphone? >> no, sir. apple doesn't look at a login system for the phone. >> so what do you do? how does it work that i might get some advertisement for something or be solicited on an application or through my mailing account or whatever >> there are not advertisements on the account is on your iphone. you could get an advertisement there is a web browser that is just like if you use your computer or web browser and that works the same as it would as if you we

the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois, mr. davis, for five minutes. mr. davis: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today to recognize the institute for inclusion in the legal profession. lawyers serve and important role in our society and yet the legal profession like many others is in need of serious improvement in the diversity of its membership. there are a number of individuals and organizations who work to change that fact, and thanks to their efforts there has been progress. yet the legal profession which above all should stand for fairness and equality is still a long way from being open and welcoming to all. irrespective of individual characteristics and background. the institute for inclusion in the legal profession, a new group with the promising approach to diversity and inclusion in the legal profession, was established in chicago, illinois, in september, 2009. the institute for inclusion in the legal profession is addressing the contrast between the increasingly diverse society in which we live and what certainly appears to be an entrenched lack

mrs. davis: thank you. thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, this bill will not create one job or help one american family cope with high gas or grocery prices. but i tell what you it will do. it will make it more difficult for over one million children to see a doctor or a nurse. in december central elementary school in san diego opened a school-based clinic to give access to 860 children. 25% of those children are uninsured. now central students will get care when they need it. and they won't have to miss scool school for an appointment. this clinic is a dream come true, says central's principal. any principal knows that unaddressed health or mental health problems are enormous obstacle to student learning and student attendance. many children have ongoing health problems causing crnic absenteeism such as diabetes that you can treat right at a school clinic and every child, every child needs care for illnesses that can spread to an entire classroom. my colleagues clearly didn't consult too many school principals while riding -- writi

mrs. davisis massive cost shifting saves the federal government a lot of money, and where does all the money taken from seniors and medicare go? well, it doesn't pay off the debt. it doesn't create jobs or help folks pay for gas or groceries. but it does go to finance large, new tax cuts for the most well-off. this is a wrong approach to caring for our seniors. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from california rise? >> to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. baca: mr. speaker, right now californians in my home district face an almost 14% unemployment rate and are dealing with the fourth highest rate of foreclosure in the nation. what my constituents need above else is for both of us, republicans and democrats, to come together on creating new jobs. yet, in the last 18 weeks the republicans have controlled the house. they have yet to bring one single bill forward on creating jobs. instead, they hav
