mr. garrett: thank you. mr. speaker, you know, under current law there will be a $110 billion across-the-board cuts known as sequester that will be imposed on this country on january 2, 2013, resulting in a 10% reduction in the department of defense programs and an 8% reduction in certain domestic programs as well. in may of this year the house passed a bill to deal with this, that was the sequester replacement reconciliation act. and what this legislation would do, it would replace that sequester for 2013 with commonsense spending cuts and reforms. unfortunately we have seen a lack of leadership both over in the senate and at the white house. the senate failed to act on this legislation. the senate, where all good bills go to die, so too with this, or in any sequester replacement bill. so today the house will once again try to responsibly fix the sequester. the national security and job protection act would ensure our national security but at the same time we do that it will cut spending. the national security

mr. garrett: i yield to the gentleman from florida. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida is recognized for five minutes. mr. west: i thank you, mr. speaker. this is not a charade. i was part of the military for 22 years. i know the type of cuts will do to the military. i know what this type of cuts will do to nondefense discretionary. it is all we've accomplished in education and weaken programs to help families that send young people and adults to possible. secretary of education, arne duncan. this will force defense cuts that in my view would do catastrophic damage to our militarynd the ability to be able to protect our country. i think right now, mr. speaker, 's very simple. one had a quote back in the 1920's that said those who failed to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. at the end of world war i we cut our military. there came world war ii. at the end of world war ii and then came the korean war. after that we had to chase communism, vietnam. i participated in the riff after desert shield/desert storm. it t

mr. garrett: reclaiming my time. reclaiming my time. what we have here before us is a lack of direction, a lack of leadership that the americans are looking for. mr. van hollen: madam speaker. mr. garrett: the american public is looking -- the american public -- the speaker pro tempore: does the gentleman seek recognition? mr. van hollen: i would ask unanimous consent to bring up the substitute amendment so we could vote on it. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey. mr. garrett: the american public is looking for leadership from washington and they are not seeing it from the president who has failed to present a budget that would get any single votes in either the house and senate. 97-0, 414-0. they are looking to the senate to demonstrate some degree of vision, some degree of leadership by taking any of the bills that we sent over to them, whether it's the budget or the sequester legislation and showing that they can pass that legislation. they are looking for some degree of vision from the other side of the aisle in th

garrett, i understand mr. rot romney spent the earlier part of the day in debate prep. what can you tell us about that? >> that's correct. governor romney's arrived here only last night but they flew in a batch of senior staff, top advisers and also senator rob portman of ohio, who is playing president obama in governor romney's debate prep showing up in the hotel late last night. it's interesting to note when the campaign when you talk to official spokespeople, their official line on this is he's doing private meetings. they don't want to talk about debate prep. the last thing they want to do is raise expectations for their candidate. they want to make any ground he is able to gain on the president this he want to keep expectations low so anything he does on the stage looks better. >> one of the criticisms we've heard over the last couple of days specifically is that his running mate, paul ryan is not necessarily, doesn't have as big of a role as some campaign insiders would like to see. what's the campaign saying about that? >> well paul ryan himself actually pushed b
