mr. duncan, is recognized for five minutes. mr. duncan: thank you, madam speaker. madam speaker, the new term of the u.s. supreme court begins this week. i was a judge for 7 1/2 years before i came to congress, and so i have great interest in their proceedings. it seems to me our courts have become far too political over the last many years. up until the mid 1930's or so, most federal courts seem to try to stay out of politics and paid great deference to actions by federal and state legislative bodies as being expressions of the will of the people. for many years now, though, some federal judges believe they should have been elected to congress or to the state legislatures. one of many examples involves the drawing of congressional legislative and local voting districts. the word gerrymandering came to use in 1812 but it has been in very recent years that federal courts have become heavily involved in drawing specific lines in so many states. if a court has a very liberal judge, he or she will seemingly go to great lengths to throw out any lines that seem to benefi

back for venezuela we told mr duncan the truth about venezuela we have some material for him to study some issues that he has no knowledge about and we believe we can open good channels of communication with this government and with the government in the future of course arguably you can't blame him i mean he had some information from the british embassy in caracas but he gets information like the british public and the public in nature countries from the media are you saying that c.n.n. and b.b.c. the state when david media here are you saying that they're journalists don't understand your country because this stupid or because they are up again and more than the journalist the onus of this the shareholders of these companies they don't want venezuelan revolution to survive because we are threat ideological for it philosophical for it for the capitalist world for the neo liberal policies in the world so it's an aggression that integral aggression against our country and it has a media expression as well and we know it's different it's difficult to make the truth about venezuela get o

mr. duncan. >> well, thank you, mr. chairman. mr. secretary, thank you for being with us. and i have two questions. i'll just ask them both so we get them in. many of us who were here at the time of the last census received a lot of complaints about this american community survey and that some privacy advocates were very critical, and our colleague ted poe has led a charge against this. he called that survey, quote, an unnecessary and completely unwarranted government intrusion, and he has led a charge to make that survey voluntary. and i'm wondering if you have looked into that to see if you can make that survey a little less intrusive so we won't get as many complaints this time as we did the last time. and secondly, the second question i have is many states are going to be trying to do everything they can to make sure that they don't lose a member of congress or maybe that they pick up one. and many federal appropriations are based on population. can you assure us that steps are being taken, or are you satisfied that things are being done so that no states can inflate t

mr. duncan. >> dr. pry, could you just touch on how difficult it is in iran as a closed society and closed government for our arms treaty focuses and the iaa to actually do inspections there? i would love to get your take on that. >> iran has actually practically told us they're cheating on the iran nuclear deal. there is a military textbook called passive defense that is a major textbook taught at the general staff academies that describes in admiring terms society successful cheating on arms treaties during the cold war and how they managed to fool us in terms of the number of weapons the quality of weapons and that this would be a good paradigm to follow for iran. it's there in black and white. unfortunately it's not unclassified. it should be unclassified but it's for official use only. but in effect they have told us in their military doctrine black and white that they plan to cheat on agreements in order to get nuclear weapons. in terms of the difficulty, i've written a number of articles on this.

mr. duncan, mr. correa. then to the other side. and then when the time's up i'm going to leave, we're going to vote and then at least you know i'm going to come back. if mr. higgins or anybody else, miss bare gann, anybody else from the other side wants to come back or anybody else from our side, they'll have that option and i hope you guys can indulge us and stick around. but this is how things work here. with that, i recognize mr. duncan. >> i thank the chairman and the thank the panel for being here. it's been very informative. dr. pry, i'm going to skip north korea for just a second. because of your past experience with russia and arms treaty verification, could you just touch on how difficult it is in iran as a closed society and a closed government for our arms treaty folks and the iaea to actually do inspections there? then i've got a follow-up question about emps. but i would love to get your take on that. >> iran has actually practically told us they're cheating on the iran nuclear deal. there is a military textbook called

mr. duncan, and the ranking member, mr. sires, in bringing this measure to the floor. this legislation will require u.s. representatives at international financial institutions to use the vote and influence of the united states to oppose any loans to nicaragua unless the country has shown a willingness to respect the human and democratic rights of its citizens. nicaragua's authoritarian president, daniel ortega, and that's the same daniel ortega who lost the presidency in 1990, has tightened his grip on power by weakening institutions and the opposition and ensuring power for himself and his family by excluding international election observers. by requiring that the secretary of state certify that nicaragua has taken steps to provide election transparency and combat corruption before the united states votes to provide the government of nicaragua with loans, we help ensure that taxpayer money is not used to line the pockets of corrupt authoritarians or to derail the legitimate democratic rights of citizens.guan we only look to venezuela to see state power and organize c
