mr. harper is not a governor. [laughter] >> a representative. >> how can we deal with questions of already been raised? how do we deal with that end of the table? >> when the supreme court decision was made, that is the first thing. secondly, despite some the testimony, we're saying it's fair for everybody, but everyone does not have a retail presence. the reality of the fact is you have local businesses contributing property tax and sales tax and the jobs that are having to play on an unlevel playing field. we have to figure out a way to make it work. >> thank you. i think the response from my two other witnesses over here is exactly why we want to have this legislation passed. that is a significant reduction on business. j.c. penney has hundreds and hundreds of accounts that respond today to sales tax returns and audits from thousands of jurisdictions. imagine what they and other retailers to do if we had a single audit and return each month. that could be reduced and we could focus on the core business of devel

mr. harper is playing the game a little differently than most in the game right now, regularly stretchingble to a triple. >> it's good and bad. one side is make him earn it, make him play a full year and put their time in, but on the other hand, he's a lot of fun to watch. >> you know, he's been not rushed up here, but he's been playing every inning, except i think i gave him a rest for one inning. i think he could use the time off, catch his breath, and rather than having the excitement of the all-star game. >>> nats relevers drew stone who has missed the entire season will start tonight for potomac. if if all goes well, he 'expected to join them. >>> >>> left with ross debt wyler is on the hill for the good guys against matt contain, but this is a squad that is hitting the rock. 15 games above the .500 mark. big reason for the surge, zimmerman and morse. zim hitting .369 with 4 homers and 16 rbis, and morse has 4 bombs and 16 ribbies. morse has raced his anch 73 points. it makes for a chipper skipper. >> i've seen in each individual hitter getting better, having better swings, better ap

officers report in the media reports very contradictory to what actually happened in the case with mr james harper when you go food shopping cuba officer brah. we were told that supposedly there was a physical fight in three francis' were jumping but people who were actually there in witness what happened. back there was a foot chase but i was around actually shot. james harper afterwards i know that of course he was on that officer is claiming that he feared for his life and that is what prompted him to to shoot the suspect what do you think about that was the interesting thing. i was around did not require any type of medical attention if he actually fear for his life and there was actually a real conflict physically speaking with fire with the cup then we felt that he would actually have to require some medical attention and he didn't need any all we know is the fact of course that james harper was left dead and the community is strictly and rightly so outraged now in the wake of this hundreds of people have been taken to the streets protesting what happened there charles what exactly are prote

mr. harper. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. harper: thank you, mr. speaker. the policies and regulations resulting from the president's health care law are among the most overreaching added to the u.s. code in modern history. further the president himself has said that his law's individual mandate is not a tax. yet he's now rallying behind the supreme court ruling that defined this requirement as just that. a tax. look, i have little confidence that this far-reaching law would have ever advanced had the white house and congressional democrats united behind a tax mandate on every single american citizen. let's be clear. the supreme court ruled that this law is allowable, not that it's good policy, nor that it will improve the delivery of care. this law is bad for patients and providers. it's bad for individuals and employers. and it's bad for states and jobs. this repeal will allow americans to receive the care they need from the doctors they choose at a cost they can afford. it's that simple. thank you and i yield the balance of

mr. harper: i'm proud to be the lead sponsor of h.r. 5859. bipartisan bill repeals an obsolete mandate that the national highway traffic safety administration has said is rarely used and not helpful. since 1991, the department of transportation ha annually distributed by mail a document entitled "relative collision insurance cost information." this information is sent by mail to new vehicle dealers. who are required to make the information available to prospective new vehicle customers upon request. nhtsa has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars distributing this booklet over the past 21 years. while this value tissue while this information is of value to insurance actuaries, it has been of little or no use
