mr. johnson. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from georgia is recognized for twoinutes. mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in strong opposition to h.j.res. 2. it represents an attack on the middle class and the most vulnerable in our society. by the grover norquist tea party republicans. you see, there is no fiscal emergency but the fiscal crisis has been manufactured by the tea partyiers along with grover norquist andhe republicans that represent them for the purposes of tricking the american people into thinking that america can't pay its bills . we paid our debts, we can pay our debts and we'll continue to pay our debts. just like families of america who incur debt as a normal course of taking care of their families, we've heard a lot of analogies to the federal government should balance its budget like a family, but how many 99ers, how many families do you know that can go out and purchase a car for cash? how many of those 99ers, how many of those families out there working can afford to pay for a house cash? everybody out there incurs debt for legitimate expense

mr. johnson and ms. maloney. please come forward and please pull ahair up. mr. smith and mr. scott, mr. johnson, do you wish to testify? please take the chair up and we'll -- we're asking you to join this nel. so please pull your chair forward to the table. you can pull your chair right up to the table. does that cover everyone? let's begin with mr. nadler, then ms. jackson-lee, then mr. hastings, mr. johnson and ms. maloney. . nadler, let me say i s a beautifully prepared statement. >> with considerable changes. >> i know since you made the changes, i'd like to say without objection that entire statement is going to appear in the statement and we'd welcome your summary. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll oe i'll omit the first part of the statement which basically describes why the bill is a terrible bill. but let me just address the p t part -- the amendment. with respect to guns, the concerns of more urbanized states like new york are different from like more rural states like alaska. within reason there are strong reasons to allow each state to tailor its own gun laws. that has been ou

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in support of my amendment to this dangerous bill, the national right-to-carry reciprocity act. my amendment is about protecting a state's right to decide who may carry a concealed, loaded handgun within its borders. it will require the possession or carry of a concealed handgun in a state be subject to that state's law regarding firearm safety training. including live fire exercise. currently at least 34 states require applicants to complete a firearm safety training course or present proof of the equivalent experience in order to obtain a concealed carry permit. 19 states require live fire instruction to obtain a carry permit. however some states only require minimum training such as an internet-only instruction. even worse, however, are the states that do not require any firearm training to obtain a concealed carry permit. this bill would override state laws and require states to allow out-of-state residents to carry loaded, concealed weapons in public even if they have not

mr. lazard to read the spirits of officer suguitan. >> on saturday generate 23, 2010 at 1721 hours, ms. johnson phoned the police to report that her roommate, mr. smith, was suffering from psychological problems, had been drinking, and was taking medication. in her request for the police, this johnson indicated mr. smith was not known to carry weapons and that she wanted vice from officers on how to deal with mr. smith. she needed assistance based on his behavior. officers brodericks suguitan and samuel fung arrived at the scene within four minutes. officer suguitan and fung were met by the woman outside of her porch. officer suguitan observed at the front door of the residence was open and stepped inside. officer suguitan noticed mr. smith and mr. rios, an additional roommate, were standing face to face having a conversation. both men were approximately 7 feet in front of officer suguitan. officer suguitan looked at both men and stated, how are you doing, we are here to help. mr. smith and mr. rios both faced officer suguitan. immediately, officer suguitan realized mr. smith's and were behind

mr. johnson. >> thank you, mr. chairman. senator inhofe, members of the committee coming thank you for the opportunity to testify today. you have asked me to discuss the provision of the proposed legislation that would make the chief of the national guard bureau and member of the joint chiefs of staff. at the outset, i will tell you there are no outright legal barriers to enacting this legislation enacted in the constitution prohibits pitch in the joint chiefs are statutory creation. congress can change the membership of the chiefs by statute if it so desires. i believe it is important however that the committee be aware of some of the legislation's legal and locations and complexities. before you get to those come heroes and generally go back around on the national guard, the chief of the national guard bureau and the joint chiefs of staff. mr. chairman dumais alluded to some of this in your own remarks. the national guard is a unique entity that operates at different times under federal and state authorities. all members o

mr. johnson and ms. maloney. mr. nadler, let me say i see a beautifully prepared statement. >> with considerable changes. >> i know since you made the changes, i'd like to say without objection that entire statement is going to appear in the statement and we'd welcome your summary. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll oe i'll omit the first part of the statement which basically describes why the bill is a terrible bill. but let me just address the p t part -- the amendment. with respect to guns, the concerns of more urbanized states like new york are different from like more rural states like alaska. within reason there are strong reasons to allow each state to tailor its own gun laws. that has been our general policy for hundreds of years. anyone who talks about states' rights ought to adhere to that. under this bill that would all change. anyone with a permit to carry a concealed handgun could bring their gun into a state of which they're not a resident regardless of whether or not they would even be allowed to possess

mr. johnson. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. secretary, you're probably aware that i introduced legislation called the world war ii memorial prayer act of 2011 that would direct you or a future secretary of the interior to place a plaque or an inscription of the prayer that president roosevelt pray with the the nation on the morning of d day. on november 3rd director abbey testified before one of our subcommittees on behalf of your department regarding h.r. 2070, this piece of legislation, and in the department's testimony director abbey testified, and i quote, that placing the president's prayer, d-day prayer on the world world war ii memorl will necessarily dilute this elegant memorial's central message and it's ability to clearly convey that message to move, educate and inspire its many visitor. mr. secretary, do you agree with your department's assessment that by adding president roosevelt's d-day prayer to the world war ii memorial that it would dilute the message of the memorial? yes or no? because i've got a lot of other

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. you know, since 1980, social security has been required to publicly put deceased american personal information into a so-called death master file which was meant to help prevent payment and prevent fraud. nearly anyone can get this information, including identity thieves. identity theft affects not only businesses and taxpayers but grieving families whose suffering is made worse when they learn that someone has been preying on the death of their loved ones. criminals are exploiting this information in order to profit off deceased children by applying for tax refunds. that's just wrong. every year social security puts about 14,000 americans in this death file who aren't even dead. any of us could be put on that list by mistake, a mistake that can result in severe financial hardship and emotional headache. americans deserve better. so today i am introducing the keeping i.d.'s safe act, to stop the sale of the death master file immediately. i urge my colleagues to support this legislatio

mr. johnson. general dempsey. >> thank you chairman levin and senator inhofe. i want to point out before you begin i appreciate the spirit of family metaphor used for this. i do want to make a point that as we have talked about this, craig mckinley has been in the room in every instance, so everything we have done to try to talk about this among ourselves has been done with the chief of the national guard hero present. and so i thank you for the opportunity to continue that discussion here today. i would also like to thank my colleagues at the table. we share a bond of trust with each other and with a nation that will be sustained regardless of how we answer the question before us today. let me be clear on both -- on i'm both an admirer and advocate for the national guard. our entire reserve component makes an indispensable contribution to our national security. throughout our nation's history and circling the decades since 9/11 we have depended on our citizen soldiers and airmen to help defend us, our allies and our interests. at home and abroad the national g

mr. johnson. mr. johnson was still on the board in 2010 when the securities and exchange commission sued the investment bank for securities fraud related to its sale of a dubious mortgage security. by that time, johnson was earning almost $500,000 for his work on the goldman board. the accounting fraud at fannie went undiscovered until 2005 when an investigation by ofheo unearthed it in a voluminous, intensely detailed 2006 report, ofheo noted that if fannie mae had used appropriate accounting methods in 1998, the company's performance would have generated no executive bonuses at all. a lawsuit filed by the securities and exchange commission in 2006 said the company's 1998 results were intentionally manipulated to trigger management bonuses. although a highly kept secret at the time, johnson -- this is mr. james johnson -- johnson's bonus for 1998 was $1.9 million, investigators determined. it later emerged that the company had made inaccurate disclosures when it said johnson owned a total of almost $7

mr. johnson, is recognized for one minute. mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to honor our guest chaplain, pastor marty springer, who served as an example of both his -- both his faith and similar civic duties. he was raised in southern california, the youngest son. after graduating from high school, he worked in a bank while attending junior college and joined the united states air force in december of 1982. during his time on active dutyy, he was selected the honor of serving the office of presidential protocol at andrews air force base during the presidency of president reagan. he entered the air force reserve and took a civil service position at the air force base. he was responsible for all aspects of man power and training during operation desert storm and earth shield, he was recalled to serve in active dutyy and received the air force achievement medal for his service. after 15 years of service to his nation, pastor springer was called to serve god and entered the seminary in 1997. after graduating pastor springer was ordained as the pastor

mr. johnson? are you prepared to disassociate yourself from chris dodd who was the highest recipient of money from fannie mae and who, by the way as you know, was also getting a below market loan from countrywide before they went broke. >> hypocrisy doesn't do it. >> he has said everything. isn't it breathtaking? >> i'll say one thing, though, by the normal standards of elites, republicans, democrats, people in the media, gingrich couldn't possibly win because he said everything about everything. there have been many times herman cain, a million other examples where the elites just don't get quite where the voters are. so i don't know that gingrich has a good chance in the end to sustain. but for the short-term, i'm not sure all of these stories deflate him. >> that's the question. is he just the latest in this wagon wheel of candidates who circle up next to mitt romney and cycle back out. you say herman cain was not viewed well by the elites, he's starting to fall, as well. why is newt gingrich d

mr. johnson. headlines are made every hearing. is the headline from this hearing, obama opposes putting the national guard bureau joint chiefs of the joint chiefs? >> you have heard the best military advice. >> i will tell you what vice- president biden said in baltimore. it is time for change, change begins with giving the guard a seat at the table. that is where the joint chiefs said. president obama's campaign document, this part alike. obama was for the readiness of the national guard reserves. he will permit them time to rest at train between deployments. he will also give the guard a seat at the table by making the chief of the national guard a member of the joint chiefs of staff. has he changed his mind? >> not to my knowledge. >> reducing he thought long and hard about this had thought this would be a good idea? you're not here to tell us he is wrong. >> they are above my pay grade. >> i think they are wrong allot but i think they are right on this. how many of you believe that goldwater nichols works? who doesn't? nobody.

mrs. johnson was very upset because the doctor told her about lyndon johnson should be sleeping.get up -- he was up until 2:00 in the morning. on the way home, just the two of us for traveling. adlai stevenson said to me, if i want the nomination next year, i will have to run in the primaries. i said, they are right. if president eisenhower does not to run, every democrat is going to want the nomination and you'll have to fight for it. if president eisenhower does run, you ought to forget about it. he said, i am not going to run in those primaries. i am not going to be a candidate like i am running for sheriff. i am not gone to do. of course, he ended up doing it because that is where the system -- that is the way the system operated. >> joe m. los angeles, we are talking about adlai stevenson. >> i want to jump ahead to the 1960's. what you thought his relationship with the kennedys was. i know he was nominated in that convention and because of that, there were still feelings with jack kennedy. what would have happened if he had been made secretary of state? with this situation

mr. johnson/teacher) "makes me comforttbll to know that because me being a teaaher, i can also e attacked using a weapon." ...........it's a new security 144year-old male student stabbed a 10th grader in the stomach.. it happened in a lower stairwell. tonight, parents on what the princcpal is doing now bout violence in the school.(mr. williams/pprent) "if metal detectors will deeer it, i'm all for it. but, till i think us as parents should doo our part to help the chool system out too."

mr. johnson: mr. speaker, ladies and gentlemen, nothing is more fundamental in our democracy than the right to vote. unfortunately, our right to vote is under attack. according to a new report by the brint center for justice, vote suppression lowers in states across the country could affect up to five million voters from traditionally democratic demographics in 2012. it's no coincidence that this number is larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections. these voter i.d. laws do nothing more than discourage and block eligible voters, especially students, the poor, seniors and minorities. these are americans who tend to vote democratic. recently, the media reported that a 96-year-old woman was denied a voter i.d. card in chattanooga, tennessee, because of one of these new laws. . her name is dorothy cooper, she's a retired domestic worker. in fact, she was born in my home state of georgia. and she relocated to chattanooga so that she could find work. she could not get

mr. johnson of georgia. >> thank you. general odierno, following up on mr. hunter's question -- the arm isd6 intelligence program is behind schedule and there are private services better use by the marine corps. the army is slated to spend billions in the coming years to field this program despite its consistent shortcomings. will you pledge to take a hard look at this program as a possible source of savings? >> i am looking at every one of our modernization programs and procurement programs to see where we can get savings. i will take a hard look at this. i will provide your feedback as we do this. >> nine q. -- thank you. do you think the army could potentially find savings by reducing the footprint of our ground forces on the european continent where our allies are or should be capable of defending their own territory? >> this would be part of the strategy review we do where we decide to put forces and based on that strategy, if it is determined that we can reduce our commitment to europe, we will work carefully with our allies to take a look at that. >>

mr. johnson said in his judgment, mr. humphrey was the best man to be president in case anything happened to have. no longer is the vice presidency just another job. >> that video is from mick caouette's documentary on hubert humphrey. first of all, the scene of the energetic hubert humphrey addressing the crowd and having the crowd eating out of his hand and the cutaway to lyndon johnson, who did not seem to share the moment. what was happening? >> he did not like the spotlight being taken from him. humphrey was believed to be a better public speaker. he was a little bit upset about a humphrey taking the show away. that was lyndon johnson. the goldwater part of that speech was written by a number of people. it was written by -- there was a call and response kind of thing that caught on. that was an early one. >>: response? >> not center goldwater -- not senator goldwater. >> senator humphry had ambitions for the presidency for quite a while. he toyed with it in 1952 and made a real bed in 1960. -- bid in 1960. he earned

mr. johnson, his amendment was not made in order because my colleague, mr. olson, had an amendment that was substantially similar. knowing that time is valuable on the house floor we want to consider ideas only once. seven democrats, one republican amendment made in order. i am not here to debate the underlying provisions. we provided time to do that. but i want to defend this rule as an example of what we ought to do. it's is it a little more convow -- is it a little more convoluted than i wish it was? yes, it is. it provides for time for debate on every single idea submitted. that's an important change in this house, madam speaker. i am grateful that we have been able to do it. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: madam speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcgovern: i want my colleagues to understand that one of the amendments they didn't make in order was the amendmen

mr. johnson and ms. maloney. mr. nadler, let me say i see a beautifully prepared statement. >> with considerable changes. >> i know since you made the changes, i'd like to say without objection that entire statement is going to appear in the statement and we'd welcome your summary. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll oe i'll omit the first part of the statement which basically describes why the bill is a terrible bill. but let me just address the p t part -- the amendment. with respect to guns, the concerns of more urbanized states like new york are different from like more rural states like alaska. within reason there are strong reasons to allow each state to tailor its own gun laws. that has been our general policy for hundreds of years. anyone who talks about states' rights ought to adhere to that. under this bill that would all change. anyone with a permit to carry a concealed handgun could bring their gun into a state of which they're not a resident regardless of whether or not they would even be allowed to possess

mr. johnson: thank you. madam speaker, i rise in opposition to this rule and the bill, the national rightle to carry reciprocity act. it's the epitome of federal arrogance that would impose its will on the 50 legislatures in this country. this bill tramples on our system of federalism and endangers the public safety by forcing states to allow the carrying of concealed firearms by out-of-state residents even if they have not met basic licensing or training requirements mandated for carrying in that state. this total respect or disregard for state laws may come as a shock to americans who have always been told that these tea party republicans want to shrink the scope of the federal government. but instead of creating jobs, we are here considering strongly a bill that is opposed by law enforcement officials throughout the states and throughout the country. this bill is nothing more than a piece of special interest legislation for the national rifle association. under this bill, states will no longer be able to

mr. johnson have the perry campaign. an audience member noted that there have been many reports that the jobs created in texas under the governor were either created by federal government dollars or part-time -- were part-time low wage jobs. is that a correct assessment? >> no. no. it's just not true. >> what's responsible for the reports? is it misinformation or is there something being lost? >> no, it's just not true. and the governor has refuted this and made clear -- i mean, the facts are that 40% of all jobs in the country were created in texas since 2009 while the current resident of the white house has lost 2.5 million jobs. the environment governor perry created in texas has created a million jobs. the focus of everyone on this panel is to beat barack obama and we need someone who can energize the economy and help get america working and that person is rick perry. >> jesse, we haven't forgotten about the ron paul campaign. i promise get your emails all the time saying that we have but we're working on it. i'm won

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. speaker, i rise today in opposition to this dangerous bill, the national right to carry reciprocity act. the 10th amendment of the bill of rights of the united states constitution provides as follows. the powers not delegated to the united states by the constitution nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states respectively. or to the people. mr. speaker, this bill would override the laws of almost every state by forcing them to accept concealed carry gun permits from every other state even if the permit holder would not be allowed to carry a handgun in the state where he or she is traveling. this is ridiculous. each state should decide who may carry a concealed loaded gun within their borders. and the federal government should respect the state's rights to do so. the irony here is that the -- my friends on the tea party republican side of the aisle claim to respect state's rights. but then they rush this legislation to the house floor which tramples over state's right

mr. johnson: yes, thank you, madam speaker. i have a unanimous consent request to submit the following two documents into the record. one is from the international association of firefighters, the other om the aarp, both of which express their opsition to this ill-founded measure before us, house resolution 2. the speaker pro tempore: without objectio the request is granted. the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: i w yield 30 seconds to the distinguished gentleman from massachusetts. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized for 30 seconds. mr. markey: we do not need a constitutional amendment. we need a supercommittee congressional commitment now. tohe republicans, do it now. call president obama now. tell him tax breaks for the billionaires on the table. tell them defense spending, on the table. tell him tax breaks for oil companies, on the table. the president says he'll put the social programs on the table. you don't have to go back 200 years to amend the constitution. you just have to next w

mr. johnson: thank you. well, i too, rise to celebrate and remember our courageous men and women in uniformed who have served the united states armed forces. next friday our nation as a whole will observe veterans day, a day which should serve as a reminder to every american that our armed forces, both past and present, are made up of individuals with great courage, character and honor. as a 29-year air force veteran and prisoner of war for nearly seven years i know firsthand that freedom is not free. we owe a debt of gratitude for all who have worn the uniform and their families. i urge all americans to use this veterans day as an opportunity to personally thank a veteran. it's because of their sacrifices that we remain the land of the free and the home of the brave. i think an inscription on the wall says it all, freedom has a taste to those who fight and almost die that the protected will never know. i salute our veterans. god bless america. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman fro

mr. johnson: yes, thank you, madam speaker. i have a unanimous consent request to submit the following two documents into the record. one is from the international association of firefighters, the her from the aarp, both of which express their opposition to this ill-founded measure before us, house resolution 2. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the request is granted. the gentleman from new york. mr. nadler: i now yield 30 seconds to the distinguished gentleman from massachusetts. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized for 30 seconds. mr. markey: we do noteed a constitutional amendment. we need a supercommittee congressional commitment now. to the republicans, do it now. call president obama now. tell him tax breaks for the billionaires on the table. tell them defense spending, on the table. tell him tax breaks for oil companies, on the table. the president says he'll put the social programs on the table. you don't have to go back 200 years to amend the constitution. you just have to

mr. johnson?for example, to senator chris dodd taking a below market interest mortgage from countrywide before it went broke, compared to chris dodd and barack obama being the number one and two recipients of money from fannie mae and freddie mac while they were going broke, i think it's hard to argue that a family feud is a big scandal. >> that is former house speaker newt gingrich circa 2008, basically making a strong, passionate case that taking any money from freddie mac and fannie mae is reprehensible, corrupting and the top of everyone's mind when talking about these things. i am just amazed by the fact that newt gingrich is in this position. partly because i think i have this idea part of the frustration on the right and the tea party driving is the crony capitalism, that is something we on the left and right can unite around. if they nominate newt gingrich, that to me thinks that's not what's going on. that's not a concern. here's someone who could not be more of a creature of that same mo

mr. johnson led us in a short prayer to thank god for the successful season's harvest. through his prayer, i quickly learned how many factors a farmer has to rely on for a good harvest year. when i pray over my family's dinner, it's always, god is good, god is great, thank you for the food that i'm about to receive, for the newerishment in my body, for christ's sake, amen. and then my family sits down and eats. but what i heard from mr. johnson's prayer, there must have been a dozen unseen factors on his mind that small family farmers depend on for their way of life. he expressed gratitude for the sun, gratitude for the rain, gratitude for the soil and gratitude for the harvest. he prayed for protection against things that can destroy his crop and support for their equipment. his prayer was a mighty different prayer than the prayer that i normally pray over my food, but the johnsons and other small family farmers also believe in the federal government. if something bad does happen in a season, the federal government is there to provide crop insurance and disaster insura

mr. johnson your paul volcker is given credit for breaking the back of an affliction and an 1880s with the acquiescence of the reagan administration. you previously indicated something stronger. strong support from the white house. i wonder if you would elaborate more on the rake and administration and the independence of the fed in the degree to which their opinion weight gain or influenced her decision at the fed with regard to monetary policy. >> well, the white house -- i mean, the reagan administration out very strongly about independence of the fed. you know, nothing is a model a year there were always people debating -- a good example is there were a number of people in the administration who wanted to replace paul volcker, who felt like -- i'll be honest, some of the members of the administration didn't think he was hated math because they wanted strict money surprised targets. and from time to time, the money supply numbers would drift above target yet we are in the deaths of reception and 82. the reagan held very fairness supportive of infanticide said plenty of times. and so, th
