mr. jenkins, by your assertion that will make it even worse. mr. jenkins: no, it's not that i am saying -- look, don't go after them because it will make it worse. i am saying that as a consequence we have to be prepared for any way. that's not a reason not to go after them. there are still nazis in the world that believe in it. but we can destroy these organizations, and hell, i have been the senator cato of this in terms of repeating regularly that furthermore al qaeda and i sold must be destroyed. however, we have to accept this is going to be a very long task, and therefore -- and therefore, take our way through this in a way that we can sustain it in the long run and not do things that will immediately erode both international and domestic public support and not do things that are going to be counterproductive. so, this is not about going after them. this is about how we go after them? senator johnson: i think we are on the same page here. it requires the 100% commitment by the civilized world to understand the reality of this. it's not going a

mr. jenkins. mr. enkins: chairman johnson, ranking member carper, member of the committee, thank you very much for inviting me to address this urgened issue. i would like to be able to report in response to the terrorist attacks in paris, all of the perpetrators have been identified and apprehended. think will be executed promptly, that they snatched the islamic state and an event such as this will never happen again. however, the reality is that this conflict is likely to go on. there are no quick or easy solutions. and terrorists certainly will attempt further attacks. let me give you some observations from the written testimony i have presented. first with regard to the conflict itself. fighting in syria and iraq will continue. right now, the situation is at a military stalemate. syria and iraq are now effectively partitions, i think these partitions will exist. sectarian and ethnic divisions now drive the conflicts. that will make them hard to settle. the world will be dealing with the fallout of t

mr. jenkins? mr. jenkins: we don't like to use the term, but we are at war. we have been at war for a long time on this. that means we are going to incur costs. we are going to incur risks in this. on the one hand, we are committed to a war, we are going to go after these people, and on the other hand, treat every time we confront a as though it were an outrage of failure. believe as you are, that has consequences. we have that in terms of how we go after isil, but how this nation ought not to be panicked as we go forward with this, which sometimes i think we tend to do. let's lay outn: the reality and get a broad spectrum view on this and i think we've done a pretty good job on this. mr. bergen. this hearing has shown light on an issue that has become quite politicized. one thing we do not want to do is to come back here and 2019 having the same hearing on afghanistan. the plan to draw down in afghanistan is not a good idea. we have already seen how this plays out. isis already has a small presence in afghanistan, which is growing. we do not want to make the

mr. jenkins, your assessment of the european border situation. are we in a new age where those open borders, thought to be what the modern world would look like in europe no longer work? we have the borders in europe and then the borders around you're. in the balkan and the mediterranean, they have broken down because of the tremendous influx of refugee, because of simply the difficulty of ceiling those borders because in many cases some of the countries on those frontiers have very limited resources to do that. the separate issue is in the core of europe which allows free travel. once one is in germany or france or belgium, one can cross borders without any of the formalities that we are accustomed to in going in and out of the united states. >> the french prime minister today said they are now concerned about the possible risk of chemical and biological weapons, making it into europe what do we know about that at this point? >> well, this is not the first time that this has come up as a concern. in 2003 or so, there were a number of reports and

mr. jenkins. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. jenkins: every day in hospitals across my district and the country, tragically, babies begin their lives suffering through drug withdrawal because they were exposed during pregnancy. sadly, the rates of babies with n.a.s. have skyrocketed. n.a.s. is a nationwide crisis. the protecting our infants act addresses the many gaps in the care and treatment of n.a.s. babies. how to i know there are gaps? today in a facility in my hometown, that i helped start, lily's place is caring for 10, 10 babies suffering the ravages of withdrawal. it took years of working through the regulatory burdens and certification limitations just to do what is right for our most innocent. the gaps in care are real. and so are the obstacles to treating n.a.s. babies. this legislation will pave the way to consider new models of care like lily -- like lily's place for our n.a.s. babies. i commend my colleagues, leader mitch mcconnell, representative kathleen clark and steve stivers for helping to give every child a c

mr. jenkins, for five minutes. mr. jenkins: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in strong support cfpbr. 1737, the reforming indirect auto financing guidance act. businesses across west virginia's third district are already facing hardships from the consumer financial protection bureau's rules. those businesses that make, sell, finance, or service motor vehicles in my state are especially worried about the cfpb's 2013 rule making affecting their industry. the 2013 rule could raise credit costs and push consumers out of the marketplace entirely. it should be consumers not government bureaucrats, deciding what works best for them. this bill would rescind that rule and replace it with commonsense guidance for transactions related to indirect auto financing. the bill would give consumers, especially those with low and moderate incomes, a chance to receive the best financing options available for them to purchase a new auto vehicle. i fully support passage of this bill and hope we can continue to work in a bipartisan fashion to reform cfpb rule making. wi
