mr. bridenstein, miss graham, mr. cook and mr. zenke. this simple amendment would permanently treat the national guard dual status military texas personnel for the purpose of furlough. dual staff texs are uniformed full-time guardsmen but get paid out of different accounts on weekdays versus drill days. the dual staff technicians wear essentially two hats. they're trained to perform a particular job in the armed forces and drill in that role like all other guardsmen. often time the dual staff techs are maintainers of aircraft and vehicles. they are the lynchpin of readiness for their entire unit are critical to the first response missions. however these currently subject to furlough. we found this out the hard way in 2013. for florida, this was particularly dangerous because of a potential hurricane was brewing off the coast, and national guard helicopters couldn't get off the ground because maintainers were furloughed. i know every state representative faces similar natural disasters. to correct this program, congress had to pass an ann

mr. inhofe: the questions i was going to ask were asked by senator graham. i would ask you, general scaparrotti, in your memory, in your history , in your service, have you ever seen a time when this country is more threatened than they are today? mr. scaparrotti: no, sir, i haven't. mr. inhofe: general robinson, all you have to do is repeat the performance you gave us and this do a great job in new position. i want to mention a few things to make sure, because i wasn't here until just now, to make sure they're in the record. first, due to the proliferation of technology, the number of countries possessing ballistic missile capability continues to increase, with countermeasure, greater range and accuracy. general mann testified last week, quote, nearly 30 countries possess ballistic missile capabilities with approximately 50 different variants of ballistic missiles and currently 13 new intermediate range and eight intercontinental ballistic missile ranges under development. since signing the iran deal, which was a disaster, iran has conducted at least three s

mr. speaker, one of the country's leading tax lawyers, graham arrenson has stated unequivocally this was normal type of collective investment fund. mr. speaker, this is the man who led the expert study group that developed the general anti-abuse rule, so much debated and demanded in this house, which parliament enacted in 2013. he chaired the 1997 examination of tax avoidance by the tax law of the uk committee. he said it would be, and i quote, quite wrong to decembscr the establishment of such funds as tax avoidance and utteryouav. that is qui why getting rid of unit trusts has not been a part of labor party review, conservative party review or addressing tax evasion. investors of these funds benefit being set up in jurisdictions with low or no taxes. unit trusts do not exist to make profits for themselves but for the holders of the units. those holders pay tax. if they're uk citizens, they pay full uk tax. as we do so, we should differentiate between schemes designed to artificially reduce tax and those that are encouraging investment. mr. speaker, this is a government and this should b

writers that worked for him, david philip graham , who is later assassinated by one of his readers wrote him a note in which he had the courage it to say to mr. pulitzer, your problems are not the kind to complete geographically. pulitzer was impossible meant to live with them once his daughter had a minor operation, very commonplace for kids, but evolved a pleading, so the household was in a tizzy. a teenage daughter upstairs and pulitzer stands up at the dining room table and a waiter had written us down and said folks, what about me. i'm suffering here. so, his self-centeredness, his egomania, his social issues makes him absolutely fascinating character and we are able to understand better today, but the thing i love the best about the book was his wife understood better than any of us, she loved him in a way that no one else could love him and as he went blind she took a lock he had with the opinion of his mother and what we would have done today was gone to kinko's and enlarged it, but she had a painter paint a large version-- version before he could lose his eyesight you could still see his mother. later, i per tray that at one point s
