the first cartoon we have is about herbert hoover which was the first president that mr. block covered. it shows hoover at the camp before camp david existed. hoover favored a camp further down in the shenandoah mountain. he predicted mr. hoover leaving couple of cabins to his camp. it's pin and ink style. it's on a very smooth board. the second cartoon is about fdr. mr. block has not come to a come where he's embracing the democratic party yet. what you're seeing is a cartoon that makes fun of roosevelt for being unable to add additional supreme court justices to therefore force congress to implement his plan to improve the economy. we no that ultimately, roosevelt prevailed and the new deal passed but block is making fun of him for wasting time when he could have been passing legislation. by trying to implement the court plan to add six more justices to the court. here we have both candidates for president in 1948. truman and dewey. gesturing to a man who looks like a typical character ma mr. block drew to show respectable southern gentlemen. block is upset about the cha

mr. hoover took office promising a chicken in every pot, that didn't win him any votes from mrs. roosevelt and the prosperity was here to stay and the poverty was about to be wiped out in the united states and late that october the stock market crashed and we found ourselves in this great depression that we were mired in. mr. hoover did a few things here and there but he liked to appoint commissions, 64 different commissions to look into the causes to have great depression and how to address them and he ignored all of the advice he was given. he looked -- he pointed a commission to look into prohibition and whether it was time to repeal it or do something to make it work so we didn't have criminal shooting each other over their beer wagons and he ignored their recommendations. the people in america had just had enough by 1932. mr. roosevelt ran for office and won in historic landslide, he carried 42 of 28 states including tennessee and got all the 59 electoral votes. a new deal for the american people was what he promised. so he all went down to washington and we moved into the w

mr. hoover going to have to rely on this entrenched bureaucracy to cooperate?t have the kind of subpoena power that a special prosecutor would have. >> well, he will have subpoena power and-- >> he will. >> and he'll be able to prosecute. yes. the inspector general is working on a report that is due out in april and we're very hopeful that he, working with the inspector general, will make substantial progress in this area. so we're reserving judgment on his work. david: i see. >> but, again, we think that ultimately a special prosecutor would be needed and would be best. david: but if mr. hoover can deliver subpoenas, what is it that he can't do that a special prosecutor could do? >> well, he-- what he can't do is what you mentioned and that is he can't be outside of the department of justice. he is a presidential appointee, confirmed by the united states senate. in fact, appointed first by president obama and then reappointed by president trump. so, he has that form of independence, but he still is a part of the department of justice and that, i think, is a di

mr. hoover to mr. trump. do you buy it? harm: no, i don't. i think mr. at he was doing. he was pushed into these tariffs. he signed the smith holly act back then being convinced by gentlemen it was a great idea and i don't think he had a strong view about it and he regretted it. this time the push really comes from the president or maybe one or two trusted advisors. tom: you have done an eclectic set of research on saudi arabia and your work with europe as well. respond as part of europe or is germany going to micro-adjust their trade given the trade war? harm: it is tough. we have seen over the last several months the debate that trump has been accusing germany because germany has this huge current account. germany said we don't do european trade politics. that is done on the european level. we have seen a response by the european union as they came out with a list of potential retaliation targets. at the same time, what you're hearing from germany and berlin is that the approach in germany is a little more muted and cautious. is weetoric right now would

hoover. it shows herbert at the rabid on camp. mr. bloch has depicted hoover leading a couple of capitalists to his camp. and they are fishing. instead of getting economic benefits in the form of cash incentives they get fresh fish to sell. it's on a very smooth board. typical of what would have been produced in the midwest at this point in time. the second cartoon is about fdr. mr. bloch has not yet come to a point where he is embracing the democratic party yet. what you are seeing is a cartoon for makes fun of those being unable to add additional toreme court justices implement his plans to improve the economy. we know that ultimately roosevelt prevailed. bloch is making fun of him for wasting time when he could have been passing legislation by trying to implement the court plan to add six more justices to the court. here we have both candidates for president in 1948. gesturing to a man who looks like a typical character to show a respectable southern gentleman as he also represents congress. bloch is upset about the changes in the i

mr. haley. for you. this plan proposes to staff into the temporary swing space. by the current hoover building is demolished and rebuilt. there are -- i understand about 5600 staff personnel who are located in the current facility. is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> as i understand the proposal does not include payments for rental space for temporary swing space. is that correct? >> it does not include the rent. it includes what would be required to fit out the swing space. so is the cost of what that swing space would require in terms of us making that secret or top secret required space. it just doesn't include the rent payments. of the bill the commission mentioned we would pay what we are paying for their hoover building through the gsa and some would be offset by will be going to the temporary swing space. >> would it be a wash? are you suggesting it would be a wash? because it seems the rental payments could be extraordinary. >> we have some estimates on it. when we look at the two projects in total. and we can go through with yourself and your staff, the numbers. we believe in te

hoover, alabama, lance corporal thomas rivers jr. held a deep love and dedication to both his faith and his country. mr. rivers dreamed of becoming a marine from a young age, and enlisted following his graduation from briarwood christian school in 2007. tragically on april 28, 2010, lance corporal rivers was killed by an improvised explosive device while serving in afghanistan. he was just 22 years old. in order that they might honor and continue their son's love of country, lance corporal rivers' parents now run a nonprofit organization that sends care packages to soldiers. mr. speaker, we should pass this bill to commemorate lance corporal thomas rivers jr. and the ultimate sacrifice he made for the country he so loved. i urge the pass and of h.r. 4646 -- passage of h.r. 4646 and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from alabama. mr. palmer: mr. speaker, i appreciate very much the comments from the gentleman from missouri. i know the family does. i knew corporal rivers. he attended the same high school as my children.

mrs. walorski: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today to celebrate barnes and hoover hardware which has been a fixture in the community for more than 125 years. the success and longevity of this family-owned business lies in the family's dedication to serving their neighbors and providing high quality products with a friendly smile. small businesses like this are the backbone of the american economy and its a privilege to represent a family so devoted to the prosperity of their community for so many years. to honor them is to honor what it means to achieve the american dream. with ownership now being passed down to the fifth generation family member, nathan miller, i'm grateful to be able to recognize such a pivotal moment in the history of this hoosier family a, their small business, and the community that they serve. madam speaker, i ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating barnes and hoover hardware and wishing them the best in all the years to come. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the
