mr. davism outbox you are up. >> thank you mr. chairman. innovation. it's in the title of today's hearing. you have heard it spoken about at least a dozen times and earlier testimony and i feel the need to go beyond script and a movie is the only thing that comes to mind. it's actually one of my favorites and my daughters favorites the princess bride. there's a scene in there where abe l. montoya is caught up with a band of criminals and is a criminal mastermind and he keeps using the word inconceivable when all of his plans don't go as planned. montoya looks at him and he says you keep using that word. i do not think it means what you think it means and that's a little bit how i feel today about the word innovation. i don't think it means what you think it means. the reason for this is because innovation at its heart is disruptive. it destroys things. it kills jobs. if you think that's too bold a statement consider this fact. in 1926 the s&p index and the average tenure at that time of compani

mr. davisou are up. >> thank you, mr. chairman. innovation is in the title of today's hearing and we have heard it spoken about a dozen times in earlier testimony. i feel the need to go a bit off script and a movie is the only thing that comes to mind. it is one of my favorites and one of my daughters favorite. it is the "the princess bride". there is a scene with a criminal mastermind and he uses the word inconcievable and they hooked at him and said i don't think that word means what you think it means. and that is how i feel about innovation. and that is because innovation is disruptive and destroys things and kills jobs. if you think that is too bold. consider this fact. in 1926, the s&p index was formed and the average tenure on 60 years on the form and today it is less than 15. since its inception there is only one company that started out. and that is general electric. there is also an affect of pursuing innovation. it is the narrow road and path of putting off old business models and se

>> at first question it seems like what mr. davis was offering . >> perhaps they are related to one another. >> today the postal service is limited and the number of post office boxes that can offer to our users. it is also limited in the number of things you can put in their. it would allow people -- we can talk about classes of customers that allows the customer to open a box that has no dimensions and to anld be delivered address in the united states that people apply for. there are a lot of foreign customers that would like to do this but cannot because they do not have a u.s. address. allow it toox would go there and that post office could combine it with other things going to that country and send it at a discounted rate. we think that would be good for commerce. it would also provide for small businesses and innovative the ability to operate the business out of the virtual po box. would temporarily store the items. with a faxry this type service. it remains alive. it strikes me as a good idea. this is also something that i men

mr. davis from outbox. -- it is in the title of today's hearing. we have heard it spoken about at least a dozen times. offel the need to go script. a movie is the only thing that comes to mind, one of my favorite and one of my daughters favorite -- "the princess bride." whereis a scene in their up neil montoya is caught with a band of criminals and the criminal mastermind keys using the word inconceivable when all his plans to not go as planned. saysya looks at him and "you keep using that word, i do not think it means what you think it means." that is how i feel about the word "innovation," i do not think it means what you think it means. the reason for this is because innovation at its heart is disruptive. it destroys things. it kills jobs. that is too bold of a statement? 1926der this fact -- in the s&p index was formed. the average tenure of companies on the index was 60 years. today, the less than 15 years. since its inception, there's only one company that remains on the s&p index, that i

didn't get notice about in meeting i received a notice about the environmental review but even though mr. davis has my phone number i've spoken well, him a couple of times regarding break in see on the prospective we never received notice we're the neighbors uphill although their picture doesn't show that pine goes uphill it does so being we're near the top of the hill donates in our face and there are shadows in our face too. looking at the project itself it is not demonstrative there's nothing that looks like in our neighborhood maybe c mc but as far as housing west it's victorian and actually, the real affordable housing in the city. when i went to early meeting with this gentleman i asked about the avenue, i have a real problem talking about affordable housing in this city because it's affordable for whom. this neighborhood massachusetts has affordable housing housing for less than 2 thousand it's got all types of housing and we see the encroachment of the metal and it's overwhelminging. the traffic is horrible i've been working with muni trying to get one intersection safer where we had th

with respect to outbox, mr. davis, one of the things that a service like outbox has the potential to offer is targeted at. i'm an avid and that user, and i'll go shop for some rest shares online. all of a sudden just about every site i visit has an ad for drescher's on it. this is highly targeted advertising is valued by advertisers. with a service like outbox actually have more value to advertisers than, you know, a random catalog that your best hope is something on the cover strikes somebody's interest in the few seconds between the mailbox and the recycle bin? >> absolutely. as i said earlier, intent spending, intent on grant that there is the holy grail of all advertising. so you can imagine a digital at peace that is free to present. so it's free to show that on a digital device to an end user. then they can decide you want to engage with that or not. we did some very interesting tests with kind bar, with starbucks via packets. small sample size products where we would present digitally and offer, would you like

mr. davies informed you of. >> at the time we thought it was as i stressed to the committee staffers this was an injured it process. they were learning and wanted to be sure we understood the process. and believe he informed me on either april 201st or april april 22nd. absurd, 20 of the 41st. >> and your informed the committee staff that the spreadsheet was destroyed. when was it destroyed? who authorized it? >> my understanding was that it was tried when the patients had been rescheduled which would have been probably in late 2012 through mid 2013. >> it's my understanding that the paper waitlist make constitutes a number of items including spreadsheets, word documents, posted notes. during your investigation in phoenix did you become aware of any of the and of that may be loosely considered a paperweight list being used in phoenix? >> during the course of our second week there, my second week there we did identify the additional documents. they were also reference by the inspector general's report today they were than beer list. there were the request to schedule a council which was ge

with respect to outfox, mr. davis, one of the things that a service like outfox has the potential to offer his targeted ads. i am an avid internet user and i will go shop for some drescher's online and i will hop every site i visit has an ad for drescher's. this is highly targeted advertising is valued by advertisers. the postal service talks about advertisers marketing their product delivery. when a service like outfox house more value to advertisers, and now, a random catalog is your best hope is something on the cover strikes somebody's interest in the few seconds between mailbox and recycle bin. >> absolutely. as i said earlier, intent spending come intent on brand affinity is a holy grail of all advertising. so you can imagine a digital ad piece that is actually free to present, so it is free to show that on the digital device to an end-user. they can decide if they want to engage with that or not. we did some very interesting test with kind buyer, starbucks via packets, small sample size products where we presen

mrs. davis: the sight of brush fires cross the county has become too familiar in the san diego region in recent years but this won't be an ordinary year. so far, we've seen twice as many fires as usual and the worst months are yet to come. many who have been forced to leave their homes speak of how in those miamis when they fear they might lose everything they realize what's most important to them. now it's time for congress to remember what's important. the vital programs that americans rely on in times of crisis. with natural disasters worsening across the country it's more important than ever to ensure that agencies like the forest service, the national weather service and fema have the resources they need to keep americans informed and safe. this appropriation season, i urge my colleagues to come together as i watch san diego county residents do and prioritize these lifesaving services for all americans. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. for what purpose doe

mr. davis: thank you, madam speaker. i want to thank chairman goodlatte for his leadership in the committee and all those who have stood before me and will stand after me to discuss this important issue. i'm proud to rise in support of the save act. it is one step that brings us closer to our goals of ending domestic and international trafficking and protecting and helping the victims of trafficking. last week i hosted a human trafficking summit in champagne, illinois, to get my constituents the -- give my constituents the opportunity to speak directly with and learn from experts on this important issue. it was humbling to hear the personal story of a survivor, ms. aubrey lloyd, and see the passion of those offering services to help victims of this horrible practice. as a husband and a father, a father of a 17-year-old daughter, this issue is deeply personal to me. when aubrey talked about how one night she was doing her french homework, got in an argument with her mother, went to a friend's house and wasn't able to retu

mr. davis of illinois. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. davis: i agree that one of the responsibilities of our committees is to investigate, to try and make sure that the laws are carried out the way we intended and to try and make sure that the money is being spent the way we intended for it to be spent. that we spent $14 million up to this point investigating this one issue, and while i think the investigations are designed to tell us something we don't know , we have not learned anything new. we have not learned of any kind of conspiracy. we have not learned of any kind of underhandedness. the only thing that we know is that we have said to a united states citizen that you cannot invoke the fifth and say that i have a right not to answer questions if i think it's going o damage me. i'd rather see us spend the there are 14 million creating jobs, providing educational opportunities for those that need it, doing something that will change the direction and the flavor of

mr. davis. >> chairman, can you tell us whether or not the inventory that would be given and for which the taxpayers can claim the benefits of this provision. >> well, thank you very much. chairman, i have long supported the tax incentive for businesses to deduct charitable contributions of food inventory. i have a field to expand the deduction at fort c corporation. the food and ventura deduction allows us to help stock america's food banxquote and feed the hungry. of course i come from an area in chicago, one in six people, including children, do not know where their next meal is coming from. in addition to the advancing charitable donations of food and passing hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts for big corporations, our committee should be prioritizing the permanent extension of the earned income tax credit but by helping the working poor and others did basic needs for the family. we should be prioritized minimarket tax credit tell distressed communities where the hungry you have st

mr. davis i think most of us know the story of outbox.ave your time to speak about innovation which i've enjoyed listening to. but can you in a minute or so tell us about what outbox did in an elevator speech version? >> is enabled the users to view from anywhere so whether it is their iphone or ipad baker to tell us what they wanted and what they did not want physically. so it is a hybrid approach in that regard. mr. speedy levin is correct and that this is a fabulous idea that should be adopted by the postal service and we started testing it in austin texas with the idea that we would ask forgiveness before we ask permission becausaskedpermissiod regulations are so onerous. and we did so with great fanfare and we were shut down in that meeting with the postmaster general and the senior team and in that team, we had a fundamental misunderstanding of who the customer is in the postal service. and he said your customer is not my customer. and i i said mr. general what you mean? he said my customer is the sender of mail that essentially pay

mr. davis: thank you, mr. chairman. and i rise in opposition to this legislation because h.r. 4438 would add $156 billion to the deficit to provide permanent tax breaks for businesses while doing nothing for the 2.6 million americans living the constant nightmare of long-term unemployment. h.r. 4438 does nothing to help low-income working families. by permanently extending the earned income tax credit or the child tax credit. used by over 100,000 of my constituents and credits that keep millions of americans out of poverty. further, h.r. 4438 does nothing to incentivize businesses to hire hard-to-employ workers via the work opportunity tax credit. to help revitalizeted distressed communities via the new market tax credit. to help the elderly via the i.r.a. charitable rollover. to create affordable housing via the low-income housing tax credit. to reimburse the 3.7 million teachers, the hundreds of dollars a year they pay out of their own pockets. in the name of fiscal responsibility, the republican leadership has justif

speaker, i -- mr. davis: mr. speaker, i raise a point of order because the resolution violates section al budget e congress act. the resolution contains a waiver of all points of order against consideration of the bill which includes a waiver of section 425 of the congressional budget act which causes a violation of section 426-a. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from illinois makes a point of order that the resolution violates section 426-a of the congressional budget act of 1974. the gentleman has met the threshold burden under the rule and the gentleman from illinois and a member opposed each will control 10 minutes of debate on the question of consideration. following debate, the chair will put the question of consideration as the statutory means of disposing of the point of order. the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois. mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. point of order not only out of concern for unfunded mandates, but to highlight the failure of republican house leadership to protect the lon

mr. davies talk with anybody at the phoenix staff that may have actually done the destruction? >> i don't know, congressman. >> i just don't understand how you can conduct an investigation about the alleged destruction of documents and not actually talk to anybody or know the name of anybody who actually did the destruction. or their -- >> that was the i.g.'s function. they were there -- >> i thought you went there to figure out what was going on. >> i was there tounds the process. and >> wouldn't identifying the person who did the destruction of the documents? >> i did not -- >> didn't you have any interest in doing it? >> i didn't think that was necessary at the time. >> it seems to be the first thing you should ask and maybe i'm simple minded. but there's question about destruction of documents. and you don't even know who did it or their motive? >> i believe i understood the motive at the time. >> but your contention is that the motive was just and within the realm of the v.a. and protecting the patient's records. i'm suggesting to you that there's a possibility that there'

mr. davis, welcome back to "mad money." be. >> thanks, jim.hecking in with you, again. >> absolutely, todd. i'm trying to get my arms around events that make people realize, you know, we've got to protect ourselves and a stock market that says we've got to protect ourselves from any stock that's moved up a lot. if it'd happened three months before, before the topsy-turvy notion, what would that have given you? you probably chart these both in subscribers but also in the stock price? >> well, sure, we saw the three months before that was the target breach that you and i even spoke about before. so what we've seen that gives us a great tailwind for a couple of reasons. one, we're clearly the known brand. with four to five times the purchase consideration of our next closest competitor. but then, the fact that we have this comprehensive protection, much broader than things like credit monitoring. we typically get a good tail wind when that consumer consciousness goes up. hey, we shop at target, could that have been us? hey, this heartbleed things

mrs. davis: thank you, madam chair. first i certainly want to thank chairman wolf, ranking member fattah and the committee for putting together a strong bill in what we all know has become an increasingly tough environment for appropriation bills. this year's commerce, justice, science bill is clearly the product of a great deal of bipartisan collaboration and as a result this bill provides strong funding for a number of important priorities that both democrats and republicans can get behind. and in that vein i want to offer an amendment that i think both sides of the aisle should be able to support. only a small portion of the overall department of commerce budget, the u.s. foreign and commercial service plays a critical role in helping american small business owners export their products to foreign countries. and we know that the world, about 95% of the world's customers live oversales. unfortunately while this year -- overseas. unfortunately while this year's bill does a decent job of funding the department of commer

mr. davis: thank you, mr. speaker. many of you may not be aware but this week is national nurses week. and i am honored to be able to stand on the floor of this great institution to talk about the nursing profession, what nurses mean to our health care industry, and what nurses mean to each and every one of us when a family member is being treated at a time when we need the most compassion, we need the best care, and a nurse is the one who steps into that room and offers that compassion and offers that care on a daily basis. i have a special place if my heart for nurses because my wife, shannon, is a nurse. somebody who not only has served patients in their home, on the hospital floor, at the beginning of life and at the end of life, she's also helped teach the next generation of nurses. we in washington hear constantly about a nursing shortage in this country, and we in washington need to remember that it's up to us to enact policies and programs that are going to encourage more young people to go into the nursing pro

i thank mr. davis, mr.Âwilson, mr. conyers, ms.clarke to make sure these improvements are included. and i yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the gentleman from minnesota is recognized. mr. kline: i urge my colleagues to support this amendment and the underlying bill the chair: those in favor will say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it and the amendment is agreed to. it is now in order to consider amendment number 2 printed in house report 113-444. mr. cassidy: i have an ealt. the clerk: amendment number 2 printed in part a of house report 113-444 offered by mr. cassidy of louisiana. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 576, the gentleman from louisiana, mr. cassidy and a member opposed each will control five minutes. mr. cassidy: the intent of my amendment is to provide greater accountability over the use and allocation of administrative costs associated with the funds authorized in this bill. it is important we attempt to maximize the ability to reach the classroom. the amendmen

mr. chairman. >> ms. davis recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i wanted to speak essentially in opposition. i asked that this be pulled from the enblock because i do think that this is an important discussion and rather than preempting the secretary of the navy from carrying that on and trying to really develop and talk about how we can better promote readiness as well as better health, i think that we need to look at our programs, look at what's out there now and try and improve on those. this is not telling people that they can't use tobacco. clearly people can go across the street almost wherever they are and purchase that, but we are sending a kind of double message by not saying that we recognize that tobacco can cause damage not only to a sailor but also to their families. secondhand 1340smoke we concern. the issue of readiness, we know that that's affecting the ability of the men and women that serve to do their job. this is a conversation. i think it's important. we want to commit to that readiness and to health care costs. the reality is

mrs. davis: this week the white house hosted high school students from across the country for its 2014 science fair. san diego high school senior eric chan was among the attendees and was praised by president obama for his award-winning research into combating influenza. i rise to congratulate eric and celebrate all students across the country who eagerly pursue scientific research. we must continue to provide students with opportunities to demonstrate their excitement and their mastery in science, technology, engineering and math. soon we will depend on these same students to tackle our biggest challenges and at times they'll inherit problems that seem daunting, climate change, antibiotic resistant bacteria, drought, food scarcity. the list goes on. we are at a critical crossroads and cannot afford to lose our technological edge. we must provide students with the tools necessary for success by further investing in stem education. it begins by heavily recruiting teachers who go beyond the tradit

steam is davis. >> thank you mr. chairman and i've certainly listen to all my colleagues here. i feel like we have spoken about this on so many occasions and i can tell you that if i believed khan and i've tried actually very hard to do that, to find that we have perhaps there is a parallel system or there is an option, there's a choice which actually we have created a choice between the military and civilian system that a victim can choose in new legislation. but nevertheless we still have this major perception i think that the military is not capable of handling these issues. it's not that i think that they are or that they have done everything right. i absolutely agree with my colleagues that that's not the case. but how hard i have tried to see whether creating a new system with chief prosecutors where cases would funnel down to them and would be a limited number of prosecutors prosecutors in that case, and we don't even have a chief prosecutor within the army that necessarily is going to make the situation better. as everybody has said we have a big cultural problem. we ha
