really trying to score points with republican voters, but let's also commend representative paul and mr. johnno, this isn't what america is about and that torture is inconsistent with american values and interrogator are saying we don't need it. >> you're right to point out two of them did say. let me go to you. many of us on different sides of the political spectrum, right and left may disagree with a political policy. i've disagreed with the intervention into sovereign states, but explain to me, dana, what it is that mr. cain stands for when he attacks president obama on his invasion of libya. i want you to interpret this for me and for my fellow americans. >> so you agreed with president obama on libya, or not? >> libya. i do not agree with the way he handled it for the following reasons. that's a different line. got all this stuff twirling around in my head. specifically, whether you ask me that i agree or disagree. >> dana, you are my expert in cain language. could you explain that to me? >> reverend al, i would love to but i have a lot of stuff swirling in hi head. you really get the se

i have the memorandum here that was issued by enforcement and control, by mr. john morton. als and not people like mr. sanchez. so, i'm going to go up to his hearing with him, accompany him, and i'm going to ask they cancel the proceedings against him. i think that's the best way to tell south carolina that you cannot enforce immigration policy. that's the federal government. and stop profiling people because that's all that's happening. he was driving without a license. he was latino. he doesn't have any documentation. so, he was held for five days before he was handed over to i.c.e. i think they should stop any proceedings against him and i'm going to accompany him tomorrow because otherwise this piece of paper and this document of the obama administration really doesn't have any weight or meaning. >> do you see any daylight on the republican side and the fact that newt gingrich at least talked about not a pathway to citizenship, he says, not amnesty, but some sanction, some ability for long-time residence to stay, to find a way to, quote, legality, whatever that means. >>

also my mentor, mr. john-- [inaudible] and tina barton who has worked with many people in the raising their as rations, and -- as praises, and also mr. james casper who i like very dearly. [cheers and applause] and, mr. speaker, i mention this today because i think it sits very well with what i am here to debate about. child poverty is one of the biggest issues in our country, yet it goes unnoticed. with over a third of our young people, our children -- that is equivalent to nearly four million children -- live anything poverty. this is atrocious. we are doing a disservice to our future, our children, our young people, and it is time we make sure britain's future is bright. so if you believe in a brighter future for britain, if you value a brighter future for britain, you should vote for this motion. life expectancy is also one of the biggest issues with child poverty, it plays a crucial fact factor. when we look at recent statistics, a child born in kensington chelsea has the highest life expectancy as compa

what to type up mr. johngrisham although i'm just repeating facts you another more famous person short of the introduction. grisham originally from arkansas had you read it for the university of mississippi law school in 1881 and practice are for nearly a decade, specializing in criminal defense personal injury litigation. he also served in the mississippi house of representatives from 1983 until 1980. as difficult as all of us know it is to practice, you somehow rode every morning over the crack of dawn with time to kill in 1988. his next book, the firm, spent 47 weeks of "the new york times" bestseller list and was a best-selling novel 1991. two more books immediately claimed the number one spot on the list. the pelican brief and the client. mr. grisham has written about one legal fiction book a year, nine turned into movies and he's also written about other diverse subjects such as baseball in asian football quarterback christmas. mr. grisham's book, the innocent band symbolizes and galvanizes his commitme

honoring today so i want to take just a few minutes to tell you about the author of the confession mr. johngrisham although i am just repeating facts. as you know them more famous verse in the shorter the introduction. john grisham is originally from arkansas, graduated from the university of mississippi law school in 1981 and practiced law for nearly a decade, specializing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation. he also served in the mississippi house of representatives from 1983 until 1990. as difficult as all of us lawyers know notice to practice law, he somehow wrote every morning before the crack of dawn and published a time to kill in 1988. his next book, the firm, spent 47 weeks on "the new york times" bestsellers list and was a best-selling novel, the best-selling novel of 1991. to more of his books immediately claimed the number one spot on that list, the pelican brief and the client. mr. grisham is written about one legal fiction book a year, nine have been turned into movies and he is also written about other diverse subjects such as baseball and aging football quarte

mr. john's focus on research and funding. here is my specific point -- there is no one single thing i have found clinically to make a significant, reproducible difference. i and several other physicians with strong academic careers, published in the most prestigious journals -- we could meet with you and tell you that indeed, in the early stages of alzheimer's disease, that our programs focusing on things like vitamin b, but you have to give them into vascular or intravenous. the point is you can convene a group of physicians like myself working pro bono, not asking for any compensation for our work, but we could show you some cases, and i believe in the early end intermediate stages, it is a serious slip up not to focus on -- and i want to repeat at the risk of repetition, local programs just focusing on nutritional and the talks -- host: let's get a response. attrition, detox, the idea of boehner research helping out your organization and perhaps the u.s. government. bamut -- guest: the alzheimer's association runs the larg

national then i'm sure i even realize and it is with great admiration and great fondness that i present mr. johneigenthaler . [applause] >> thank you. i wish i was worth waiting for, but i'm happy to be here with all of the and so glad you waited and so sorry i made to wait. i had a little fender bender. she didn't need to call the cops but the young lady was afraid of her job so i was stuck literally five minutes away. i planned to be here three minutes early. but some how seigenthaler standard time to cold and i am fashionably late. i apologize for that. i want to talk today a little bit about what the new technology has done in opening up a new world for those who need information and i also want to talk first about what the new technology has done that inhibits access to new information by distorting or misrepresenting. i won't dwell -- i might dwell on a deeply personal aspect of the problem that really makes the point. some of view, my friends, i looked around and see about four years ago i had a little problem with which to pia -- had a problem with wikipedia. i didn't think was a problem

we have mr. john mccarty, acting deputy inspector general, inspector general, office of the inspector general department of housing and urban development. mr. kenneth donahoe, department housing and urban developer. and mr. james beaudette, is that correct? deputy director, department enforcement center, department and urban development, and mr. ethan handelman, vice president for policy and advocacy national housing conference. thank you. thank you for your patience. we have having had a vote and a long question period for the first panel. without objection or written statements will be made part of the record and he went out each be recognized for five minutes for a summary of your testimony. we'll start with mr. mcgarry. you're recognized for five minutes. >> thank you. good afternoon. i am john mccarty, acting director for housing and urban development office of inspector general. i thank you for this opportunity to discuss our investigation -- >> could you pull that just a little closer to you? >

mr. cain. john harwood, is that the answer that charles was lgojing for? >> no, it wasn't. cain has a point to some degree. you can't know what all the situations you're going to encounter, especially in foreign policy, when you become president. to some extent people are examining and scrutinizing candidates to get a sense of how their mind works, how they absorb information, how they can react in a crisis. but they do want, as ken mentioned, somebody who meets a minimum threshold of credibility, of experience, of gravitas to handle the issues in domestic policy and foreign policy. one of the struggles herman cain is having right now is this is major league baseball. it's not easy to do. there's a reason why people run for president sometimes more than once and do a lot better the second time than the first time. it's one of the reasons why mitt romney is in a good position in the race. >> richard wolf, you can't predict everything that comes to your desk as president, but you can predict 90% of what will come your way in the form of reporter questions as a candidate. like

john, jill. . . mr. jacobson . . . what's it like driving the fusion hybrid?you can read every system that is operating by pushing a button. it's like driving a computer. what would be the hardest thing for you to give up? the miles per gallon, the fuel. when you're used to filling your car up once a week, then suddenly it's every three weeks, believe me it'll be a big difference going back.

purposes in many respects, the merchant has experience with a lot of mutual respect and care neither mr. john is a reference when she was applying for her current job. and despite that she got the job. john, can you tell us about your -- this is not your primary beat at the time. you kind of got stuck into this story because of the number of sort of strange coincidences. but can you tell us your kind of first interaction with enron and the story that later led to the bankruptcy? >> well, you are right. i did not cover enron and i had a few experiences in the middle of 2001. i have been sort of crooned into covering the california energy crisis, which is an eating you might remember. i've had dealings with enron, calling them up about various controversies, dealing with that because enron and the other traitors, but to take, particularly enron was being blamed by many in the state for either causing or contributing to the electricity shortages that were ravaging large parts of california. that was my basic experience with enron. they were very friendly and basically open to talking at that poi

mr. smith, if i could ask a couple others. john lott who used to be from the university of chicago, was he part of the testifying process for this? would any of his studies added to the record? >> study cited and put into the record. he, himself, did not testify. >> when you said the studies have indicated those states that have a more rational approach to allow people to have concealed weapons permits, rational approach, to be able to defend themselves with guns, have a better record as far as the overall crime rate concerned based on economic work. >> if i may go into detail. based on data from fbi annual crime report, the right to carry states, those that widely allow concealed carry 22% lower total crime rates, 46% lower robbery rates, 12% less aggravated assault rates as compared to the rest of the country. >> mr. chairman even though it looks like that was a setup question, i did not know if you had dealt with john lott. i do know john lott, have worked with him in the past, read his studies. it was a legitimate question of i

the facts that you presented from mr. john lott, who speaks about our ability to protect ourselves as a right we have, but with a profound effect upon crime, a deterrent to crime, do you have any more information about that? we found in texas that at the time that we did this, literally crime went down. >> crime typically goes down 6% to 7% whenever a state has implemented concealed-carry permits. you asked if there was additional information. there have been 18 studies that have showed the crime rate has dropped and dropped precipitously when a concealed- carry permit was allowed in that state. there have been zero studies indicating that the crime rate has increased. >> this is once again an indication of how important, as you characterize it, being able to carry forth your constitutional rights, especially second amendment where you go. i think the one question i missed this if the state does not have or washington, d.c. does not have this ability, how does this bill treat that? >> if a state or washington, d.c. does not al

an introduction of this one piece of larger picture of making it in america, i'd like to turn to mr. john lawrence, the great state of connecticut, who is our caucus leader. did i say lawrence? i meant larson. mr. larson: i thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership on this issue and as he's repeatedly come to this floor to talk about something that america is in tune with and that's the understanding and the commitment that we need to return to manufacturing, we need to return to our industrial base? we need to enhance -- we need to return to our industrial base, we need to enhance our industrial skills, we need to make things here in america. so make it in america has become our agenda over the last several weeks. there have been more than a thousand-plus town forums and hearings where people have discussed the concept of creating jobs and making things here in america. we all know that for every manufacturing job that creates four other service sector jobs, and this is vitally important. i visited a company with their president, bing murphy. the company is called the indus

mr. bennett is saying there was more than one incident. but what we don't have, john, specifics. we do not know what happened in these alleged incidents. and we're not hearing that from mr. bennett. his client or any of the other alleged accusers here, of course not hearing that from mr. cain's side. what we did get in a little bit of detail some response to this from the national restaurant association. part of a statement they issued read, in july 1999 mr. ben net's client filed a clants associati the policies. herman cain disputed the complaints. the soev yassociation entered i agreement without admission of liable. mr. cain was not a party to the agreement. herman cain this week strongly disputing these allegations against him, john. >> brian that is the one client, mr. bennett represents. you're learning new information about a second woman who suggests mr. cain behaved inappropriately. what can you tell us. >> reporter: that's right. we spoke to a former employee of the national restaurant association who knows the accuser. the second accuser, not mr. bennett's client, a sec

madam speaker, i ask that we pass h.r. 2079 in recognition of mr. john p. cook's dedication to the postal service. i also ask we keep the example of his career in mind as we work together to craft what should be a bipartisan piece piece of legislation to ensure that the institution mr. cook loved so much can continue to serve our nation and with that, i urge me passage of h. reform 2079 and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland yields back. the gentleman from texas is recognized. >> at this point i would like to withdraw my motion. the speaker pro tempore: the motion is withdrawn. for what purpose does the gentleman from texas rise? mr. farenthold: i move that the house suspend the rules and pass h.r. 3004. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 3004, a bill to designate the facility of the united states postal service located at 260 california drive in yountville, california, as the private first class, alejandro r. ruiz -- first class alejandro r. ruiz post office building. the sp

mr. hoyer: i thank congresswoman fudge. i'm honored to be on the floor with john lewis. who came close to losing his life to make sure that americans could vote, could register and could vote. mr. speaker, we're a year away from an election. one that will shape the course of our nation for years ahead. the choice we make will be pivotal and in order to make certain that it reflects the direction our people want to take, we ought to do everything we can to ensure that all who have the right to cast a ballot can do so. equal access to the ballot is the most fundamental right we have as americans. it is what preserves our democracy and instills confidence in our system of government. some of our greatest national struggles have been over suffrage, from votes for african-americans and women to votes for the young people who risked their lives for us in uniform. the right to vote, however, is today, as we have heard by so many, under threat. a number of states seeking to place obstacles in front of minorities, low income families, young people, seniors, seeking to exercise tha

you're running a political campaign of any kind in ohio, do you make the face of that campaign john kasich? really? mr remorse? mr. 33% approval rating? apparently you do. the campaign to keep governor kasich's law stripping union rights, to stop it from being repealed, features john kasich personally at every turn. this is going to be voted on in ohio tomorrow. kasich and the republicans and out of state conservative groups dumping money into ohio right now to help kasich, they want ohioans to vote tomorrow to keep the law stripping union rights. they want people to vote yes on issue 2 to keep the law. their campaign is not working. mr. unpopular's signature policy turns out is very unpopular. this is the polling on the repeal effort over time for john kasich's union stripping bill. this is how public policy polling, as you can see there, as polled on it over time. this is between 50% and 60% there. people who want to repeal john kasich's union stripping law. here's how it looks in the quinnipiac polling. again, the repeal kasich's anti-union rights law side appears to be doing well and doing better
