mr. duffy? >> did evening, commissioners. the only thing -- the approved drawings would be brief, i do not know what we approved. i cannot get them from microfilm. they are not there yet. they are between microfilm and the department. they are just hard to track, depending on when the permit was issued, so i do not know what we originally approved on drawings, but i am happy to hear that there is a we strengthening being done, and, of course, a building permit would be required on that, and that would be inspected before going on with the roof deck, so if you want to improve conditions -- and there is a photograph on exhibit 1. obviously, i have some concerns about the height of the railing, but that would all be covered under inspections for the

. -- hear when mr. duffy said you do not use-- lose the occupancy of the building, from a building department point of view. i know you are saying it is more efficient to do it all, but what about doing that just the basement forced sex -- first? >> you will be disconnecting the services. the building will be literally lifted off its foundation. they are connected, unfortunately. president goh: ok. thank you. you can come and answer my question. just come up to the microphone. >> earlier, the house movers said we needed to construct interior walls in the apartment in order to construct them -- to support them possibly. commissioner peterson: are we in deliberations? >> you could move into those. president goh: mr. collier would like to answer my question. >> i have done demolition and the tenants are in place. they did it in the vacant units. they did not do lead and asbestos testing. they did the demolition without asbestos testing, without knowing if it was hazardous. i think that tells you a lot about whet

mr. duffy: i appreciate the gentleman from kentucky yielding. i come from central and northern wisconsin where we have a large forest product industry. we make a lot of paper in wisconsin. and if you look at these rules, they are going to have a significant impact on wisconsin paper. real jobs that support our families. 1,400 jobs. new page, 3,200 jobs. wausau paper, 1,600 jobs. we look at these regulation that is are going to increase the standard on our boilers. and if you increase those standards, causing our companies to spend millions of more dollars to meet those standards, what's going to happen? you are going to shift wisconsin paper to china and brazil. what happens there? they don't have the same standards that we have. in the end, what's going to happen is we are going to outsource wisconsin jobs and our paper's going to be made with reduced standards. i think in the end those who care about our environment, who care about standards to make sure we have clean water and clean air, if you look over to china, they don't have those same s

i want to quickly yield some time to mr. duffy. mr. duffy: thank you very much. just quickly, you know, we have heard a lot about the president's jobs bill and i think everyone in this house can agree that this country needs more economic growth and it needs more jobs. and you know what, and i think -- i'm from wisconsin and a lot of folks in wisconsin and across the country want to see folks in washington and in mad sob try to get along, try to find points over agreement over points of disagreement. so the president came up with this jobs bill. you know, mr. president, i can agree with you that we need tax reform. i can agree with you that we need regulatory reform. i can also agree that we should probably extend the payroll tax holiday. but the president's going a step further and he wants to have a second stimulus. he wants to spend nearly half a trillion dollars because he believes more government spending will lead to economic growth, prosperity, wealth and sustainable jobs. and we tried that to the tune of $1 trillion. that doesn't work. but when the presid

will the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. duffy, kindly take the chair? the chair: the house in the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for the further consideration of h.r. 2250, which the clerk will report by title. the clerk: a bill to provide additional time for the administrator of the environmental protection agency to issue achievable standards for industrial, commercial and institutional boilers, process heaters and incinerators and for other purposes. the chair: when the committee of the whole rose on tuesday, october 11, 2011, the amendment number 3 printed in the congressional record by the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee, has been disposed of. for what purpose does the gentleman from tennessee rise? >> mr. speaker, i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 22 printed in the congressional record offered by mr. cohen of tennessee. the chair: the gentleman from tennessee is recognized for five minutes. mr. cohen: thank you, mr. speaker. my amendment i

duffy. >> thank you. and thank you for coming in, mr. chairman. i appreciate your testimony.folks who are studying what's happening in greece. many of them will say it's kind of a foregone conclusion, that greece is going to default. i know you're not going to say that. but as we look here, i think your testimony today is basically saying we don't have primary exposure to greece or italy. but we do have secondary exposure through the banking system. how great is that exposure? >> well, again, our banks have the minute muss exposure to the sovereign debt of portugal, ireland and greece. they have quite modest exposure to the sovereign debt of italy and spain. they have much more substantial exposure to the banking systems of italy, spain, france and of course very substantial exposure to the economies, more broadly speaking. so the direct exposures to say greece are quite small but indirectly to the continent and more generally through the stability of the financial markets overall, of course, we have significant exposure. >> and we see that i think you've indicated it's prett

duffy of the "cook report." what are your thoughts on the ohio senate race with mr. brown? want to know your opinion on claire mccaskill's race. i think her term is up this year. one comment i have -- i do not think the new mexico race will be as competitive as you think with other wilson. i do not think she will even come out of the primary. there lieutenant governor is a pretty strong fund-raiser. i want to hear your comments on that. caller: -- guest: we will start with ohio. i expect it will be on the list eventually. sherrod brown, elected in 2006, it is going to face probably the -- to me, the likely republican nominee is the state treasurer. he is about 33 or 34 years old, a tireless campaigner, and is absolutely blowing people away with his ability to raise money. he has raised something like -- close to $4 million since he has gotten in this race, which is pretty impressive. i think this is going to be a race a real contrasts -- ideological contrasts. i think it is going to be one of biography. somebody like sherrod brown, who has been in public service most of his
