mr. johnson: thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you, mr. larson. you know, without agreement from both sides, you can't get anything done. and without mr. larson, i think we would have been in deep serious end ways in social security. but he and i think alike. we're for the people. and everything we do is trying to improve the system over what it is today. and i thank you for your help. mr. speaker, i urge all members of the house to vote yes and pass the strengthening protections for social security beneficiaries act today. so that the senate can take action soon and that the president can sign it into law without delay. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass h.r. 4547. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended -- mr. larson: i ask for the yeas and nays on this. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman asks for the yeas and nays. the yea

mrs. johnson's first doers luncheon. leaders gathered at the white house to discuss practical, positive methods for combating crime. suddenly, the discussion was interrupted by a charge from singer eartha kitt. she claimed the violence was a result of the war in vietnam. she was ably answered by mrs. johnson, who replied, because there is a war on, that cannot give us a free ticket not to work for better education and better help for our people and against crime in the streets. days, 56 major national organizations from all over the country would respond to the first lady's efforts to involve the citizenry in an all-out attack on crime. many of them patterning their thel programs along guidelines of mrs. johnson's first doers luncheon. on january 19, president johnson received credentials from five newly appointed ambassadors. receiving credentials was more symbol than substance. but underlying this time-honored ceremony was america's commitment against wonton ignorance, against tyranny and famine. there were many signs d

mrs. johnson's first doers uncheon.january 19, president johnson received credentials from five newly appointed ambassadors. receiving credentials was more symbol than substance. underlying this time-honored ceremony was america's commitment against wanton ignorance and tyranny. there were many signs during the past year that spoke well for a more stable community and president johnson welcomed any hance to enumerate them. the greatest reduction in tariff barriers. the nations of latin america were moving toward economic integration. many asian nations were working behind america's shield to strengthen their economies. africa was seeing the beginnings of regional cooperation. but trouble on many fronts persisted. the latest and most potentially dangerous, north korea. over the past 15 months, we have seen a stepped-up campaign of violence against south korea and the american troops. armed teams were sent into south korea to sabotage and assassinate. on this very day, january 19, a 31-man team of north koreans invaded se

mrs. johnson.n who should have gotten that right was kelly. >> the story he told about frederica wilson, and you point this out in your column, was completely not true. and i sat there in suspense for 24 hours waiting for the apology that never came. and i was so stunned and disappointed in that moment. that to me was the turning point on john kelly. >> i was too, lawrence, in the sense that i did and do in my gut still now believe john kelly is a man of honor. and a man of honor would admit he was wrong. but this is the difference, john kelly the way i defined him and understood him he was a military man and then he became a political man and he hitched his wagon to a guy named donald trump. and donald trump never admits his wrong, and his chief of staff apparently never admits he's wrong. i don't think that's good for the country. >> i think it was difficult for both of us to watch the boston irish guy turn out like this in this situation. we could go on and on like this. kevin cullen, thank you

mr. johnson, yesterday we buried our son.e was hurt so badly we were not able to see him, but we do have a photograph that my husband took that he took with him in da nang and i'll send you a copy. i'll read johnson's responds to the kecks. dear mr. and mrs. keck. i am sorry i have not replied until now. i have read and re-read them. i feel more dopely than you couyou could know. there is no american killed or wounded in battle for whom i do not feel a sense of personal responsibility. if it were possible, if it were possible to bring home every man that faces danger there now i would do it and it would be the most satisfying act of my presidency. >> of course, president johnson did not run for re-election. richard nixon is elected in 1968 on a campaign promise and that's the episode here, nixon's campaign promise which was what? >> many people believed that nixon had a plan to end the war and he campaigned on bringing the war to an honorable end. >> tell us about this memo from 1968 before the election from h.r. haltman. who

mr. johnson: this is where it all happened. dr. johnson set up a junior development program to train the latest kids, mostly african-americans, in the sport of tennis. he would mentor them, work on strategy and tactics and have kids, and stay for the summer. usually about a dozen kids per year and this is where the color line in the sport of tennis was hisen back in 1950 when first junior development program player played the u.s. nationals and that is what started this entire program. ashely, behind him, arthur came and spent several summers under dr. j's tutelage, and the course behind you is where it all took place. this is where they spent hours and hours and hours of time honing their considerable skills and working on their admissions and talent. dr. johnson was my grandfather and he was a lincoln university graduate, a football player, student athlete, and ended up going to medical school in nashua, tennessee. he did his residence the in texas and was recruited in the mid-1930's to come to lynchburg. there were a handful of p

mr. johnson, is recognized for five minutes. mr. johnson: i thank you mr. chairman. director mulvaney, thanks for being with us. director mulvaney: he lent me a pair of -- part of my baseball uniform a couple years. i want to point out it was much too large. mr. johnson: that will be stricken from the record. mulvaney. director i'm optimistic and i'm glad to see that the president, you and the president, the administration, is looking ter owe side of the ledger sheet -- at the other side of the ledger sheet. costs and controlling spending after we move forward. i think his budget reflects that. i do have some questions about the budget. last may when you came before this committee to present president trump's f.y. 2018 budget, i expressed to you at that time, we had a private conversation, about the fact that the funding for the appalachian regional commission had been zeroed out. based on a dated study. this year, however, i'm very quite pleased that the administration's budget has maintained level find pfunding for a.r.c. at $152 million this. funding is so critica

mr. johnson: i ask for a record vote. russell wilson i join with our -- mr. wilson: i join with the gentleman from texas to request the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized to make a motion. you'd like the yeas and nays, sir? mr. johnson: i request the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays are requested. all those in favor of taking this vote by the yeas and nays will rise and remaining standing until counted -- remain standing until counted. a sufficient number having arisen, the yeas and nays are ordered. pursuant to clause 8 of rule 20, further proceedings on this uestion will be postponed. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from kansas seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i move to suspend the rules and pass the bill, h.r. 4675, the low-dose radiation research act of 2018, as amended. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the able to. the clerk: h.r. 4675. a bill to amend the energy policy act of 2005, to provide for a low-dose radiation basic research program. t

mr. johnson. my time is running out. can you tell me in 15 seconds, you were talking about how we're going to expand the ability, have multilingual alerts. be able to push out photographs. we've expanded at mount of characters that can be on an alert. do we have a timeframe for those things? are some of those things in place right now? in the future, how long would you see that coming to fruition for us? >> the rules that the commission adopted regarding the engines tension of the character limit from 90 to 360 as well as the requirement that participating wireless carriers support spanish alerts would go into effect in may of 2019. the geotargeting rule that was adopted just last week would go into effect in november of 2019. in the reason f-- and the reaso for this is to allow time for the industry to do standards development testing and then whatever upgrades they need to their networks and devices. >> thank you very much. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from new jersey, mr. payne. >> thank you, mr. chairman. m

mr. johnson. the chair now recognizes miss fowlkes for five minutes. >> good morning, chairman donovan, ranking member payne, and members of the subcommittee. thank you for the opportunity to appear before you to discuss our nation's emergency alert systems. as i recently testified before the u.s. senate committee on commerce, science and transportation, the false ballistic missile warning issued on january 13th by the state of hawaii was unacceptable. it resulted in widespread panic and the extended period it took to correct the error, nearly 40 minutes, compounded the problem. looking beyond the immediate consequences of the mistake, which were serious in and of themselves, this cry of wolf damaged the credibility of alert messages, which can be dangerous when a real emergency occurs. the commission acted swiftly to open an investigation into the matter. that investigation is ongoing. however, the fcc public safety and homeland security bureau prepared a preliminary report at the commission hast

mr. johnson looked at daddy and said, billy, you're right. you stick to preaching. i'll stick to politicking. >> reporter: perhaps his most complicated relationship was with richard nixon whom graham referred to as his old quaker friend, a friend who realized the billy graham could help him politically. >> it was clear they were using him in any way they could to bring support, bring his people, must get billy graham and his people involved in this. he was being used. he came to understand that. that changed his relationship. >> reporter: billy graham visited more than 185 countries and territories, building bridges and breaking cultural barriers. his reputation opened the iron curtain. he visited the soviet union, china and north korea. >> some people ask me what is my number one prayer. i said, lord help me. >> reporter: graham's message never wavered. >> jesus said, i'm the way, the truth and the light. then he said an interesting thing. no man comes to the father except through me. >> i want to know if there's one thing, what do you want everyone to remember abo

mr. johnson: the agent in charge of president johnson's protection at the time was a man named rufus youngblood from my hometown. we became good friends. it was rufus who hurled president johnson to the floor board of a limousine and dallas and placed his own body on top of lbj after the shots, including the fatal shots were kennedy onsident that fateful day in 1963 in that presidential motorcade. my friendship was rufus -- with rufus was the beginning of a 53-year association with united dates secret service. to the best of my knowledge, i have never asked the secret service to do anything for me but i want you to know i developed an enormous respect for this organization. after the kennedy assassination, rufus and another agent replaced president kennedy's detail on presidential protection. along with the then-secret service director, after home a major secret service is a liddy is named, those two agents and director riley successfully pulled off a strong effort by then-fbi director j edgar hoover to have the fbi takeover presidential protection after the dallas assassination. much to mr. ho

sceptical about brexit, maybe people watching on from the eu, it's not the tone, it's the conduct of mr johnson's ministers‘ johnson‘s speech and other ministers‘ speeches in the next few weeks that they will judge this speech by, what would would have us about how divided cabinet plans to get the brexit deal that no 10 wa nts. get the brexit deal that no 10 wants. ben wright, thank you, the latest from westminster. the government has unveiled an online tool, powered by artificial intelligence, that it says can accurately detect jihadist content and stop it from being viewed. the home secretary, amber rudd, says she wouldn‘t rule out bringing in a law that would force technology companies to use it. but with extremist propaganda from so—called islamic state appearing on more than 400 platforms last year, there are concerns that such groups will simply adapt their methods to reach new audiences. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, has the story. militaristic, cinematic and often shot with high—level production values, these propaganda videos for the so—called islamic state espouse terror and hatred. the

johnson. can you talk about their relationship? mr. woods: it was a conflicted relationship. fulbright was not intimate with the kennedys, was not a member of the hickory hill cloud -- crowd, but he was an intellectual, rhodes scholars, , and forstablishment him, johnson was socially repugnant. he believed he was a wheeler dealer. he came to change his view on that. wasjohnson came to believe -- but what fulbright came to believe was as the war in vietnam progressed and we continued to support a reactionary regime in the name of freedom, and johnson had sold out to the radical right in this country. and he was also angry that he was not named secretary of state. [laughter] johnson remarked his speech saying he was not going to run, he was talking, and said, we really mishandled fulbright on this. he -- we could have kept him in the tent, and it was a mistake not to have done that. robert also told me magnet harry and dean rusk that vietnam was his fault and his fault alone. something was absolutely wrong, but it was revealing about that. edgar hoover appeared -- appealed to th

mrs. johnson are alive and they are lovely women. i do not want to hurt them. they both seem ill. many people have been hurt in this." i think the president and he was right in doing that. it was awfully big of him. he was not telling me what he was going to do what it became obvious -- i should not say obvious. but worrisome. that brezhnev brezhnev would be likely to take advantage of him staying in office that it would affect the united states and all three branches of government. very likely for a few years to come. not just weeks or months. but certainly the executive branch. the legislative branch. and the judicial branch. they would all be engaged in this and brezhnev would be taking advantage of that. and he said -- that he could hurt his own presidency by doing something like a resignation. but he could hurt the united states by staying in office. that was quite something. i don't know if i answered your question but i probably do not. and i apologize. i did not quite comprehend it all. >> next question to your left, sir. >> thank you. richardndering -- helms, the cia dire

mr. johnson, you're recognized. >> thank you, madam chair. i appreciate it. this is such an important hearing. living in rural appalachia, i hear all the time about the urban/rural divide. it's very, very real. places that businesses will not come into because they can't get access to their suppliers, to their customers, provide training for their employees. you've got children that have to go to another county or to another local township or to a public library to get access so they can do their school projects. we've got a lot of intellectual capital and a lot of economic potential in rural america that's being just ignored because of this rural/urban divide. that's one of the reasons why. an important step to solving the broadband issue and expanding employment is first accurately identifying where those unserved areas are. we need an accurate map to do that. as some of you on the panel and i have discussed, just because one facility or one location in a census block says that there is coverage, that's not true, i can tell you from somebody that lives ther

mr. johnson and pointed me out to him. the first expression which came to his face, and which i think was the true index of his heart was one of bitter contempt and aversion. seeing that i observed him, he tried to assume a more friendly appearance. but it was too late. it was useless to close the door when all within had been seen. his first glance was the frown of the man, the second was the bland and sickly smile of the demagogue. i turned to mrs. dorsey and said, whatever andrew johnson may be, he certainly is no friend of our race." now, this turned out to be true in to the inth degree, he was probably understating the claim. johnson was a person who actually despised african-american people. and you think about the -- it's hard to say the problem with, the tragedy that at the moment when the fates of african-american people in the united states were being decided, he was at the helm of the government. johnson had been a person who did not care for slavery, but he did not like slavery because he thought that it was ba

mr. johnson. we know the herpes virus got into you, but we know it won't do anything." and it's not just the department of homeland security saying the russians did it. it's also the guy who invented that department, former u.s. president and formerly the worst u.s. president, george w. bush. yesterday, at a conference in abu dhabi, he said, "there's pretty clear evidence that the russians meddled, and that's dangerous for democracy, because our democracy is really only as good as people trust the results." "for instance, did you know that during the florida recount, the governor was my brother? that is messed up." it's only going to get worse. my imitration is only going to get worse. according to secretary of state and the grandpa you don't visit, rex tillerson. sexy rexy-- he list so far away. sexy rexy says that russia has already begun meddling in the 2018 election, and he's got some harsh words for them. >> i think it's important we just continue to say to russia, "look, if you think we don't see what you're doing, we do see it, and you need to stop. ( laughter )

mr. johnson? . >> johnson asked permission to speak to his mother on the phone for an update. >> thank you. >> hello. so what's the plan? so i'm getting out today? thank you, mom. thank you. i love you, too. really good to hear. my mom basically my backbone. regardless of how she's feeling, she gets it done. i don't know how many times my mother has pulled out miracles. >> yes, ma'am? >> yes, sir, i'm coming to pick up my son, geraldo johnson jr. >> the bond is heavy. but prior to even coming to court this morning, i had prayed. i stayed in constant contact with a lot of friends and family. a lot of people have been praying for us. i knew that as long as he got a bond it was going to be okay. and that's exactly what it is. >> all right, man. be easy now. >> this is one of those things that i couldn't put a band-aid on it. i couldn't kiss it and make it go away. it's a process and it's definitely been hard for myself and my entire family. >> come on now, randy, let somebody else get some. come on. >

mr. johnson says or everything that info war says.n we get into an environment where we only talk to audiences that agree with us, we end up in a myopic state of politics and it erods public discourse and the ability to face facts. >> republican matt gaetz of florida, appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> moment as way from the close of the dow. stay with us. stop by your locale tax serjackson hewittou? and get all the benefits of a tax pro. with jackson hewitt you get 100% accuracy and our max refund guarantee. so, switch to jackson hewitt. open late and weekends. your heart doesn't only belong ♪to you. bye grandpa. and if you have heart failure, entrusting your heart to entresto may help. entresto is a heart failure medicine that helps improve your heart's ability to pump blood to the body. in the largest heart failure study ever, entresto was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital compared to a leading heart failure medicine. don't take entresto if pregnant. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don

mr. johnson. >> mr. secretary, welcome. i see the budget includes the proposal to stop individuals not authorized to work from claiming the child tax credit. i've had a proposal to require the social security numbers or refundable child tax credit. it is relevant now given the ongoing debate on immigration. for the record, can an individual claimed the refundable credit with just a taxpayer number? >> doesn't this mean the individuals who weren't allowed to work can get this? yes or no. >> i just want to modify my last statement. the irs has allowed, it's looking at the legal issues associated so i'm not making a commitment going forward, we are looking at the legal issues associated with the. >> i had a joint tax for all my bill that saves 13 billion to address another issue the 2016 and daa included significant retirement reforms such as a new match for the service member's contributions. due to an error, some guard and reservists who have a civilian retirement account won't be able to get the match, and i think that's wr

mr. johnson returned home. it is a privilege to honor my friend and mentor on his 45th return anniversary. sam johnson, welcome home. the speaker pro tempore: are there any additional requests for one-minute speeches? the chair lays before the house the following personal requests. the clerk: leaves of absence for mr. lobiondo and for tomorrow and miswatson coleman of new jersey for today. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the requests are granted. under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2017, the gentleman from florida, mr. rutherford is recognized as the designee of the majority leader. mr. rutherford: i recognize john tonchinga to recognize his birthday. born in dover, new jersey, william spent his years in new jersey developing a love of music. this resulted in him becoming a music teacher until he was drafted in the united states army on july 11, 1941. he left a successful job teaching in new jersey to defend our great nation. and after completing his radio operations training as fort d

johnson really ignored those details today and i'll leave you with one final potential problem for mr johnson himself he is a very divisive figure in this country is he really the best person best qualified to be making a speech about the country coming together barnaby phillips live for us there in london. now the lower house of cambodia's parliament has passed a law making it a crime to insult the king anyone found guilty on the charge might face up to five years in prison rights groups fear the law could be used by prime minister hun sen to further stifle dissent neighboring thailand has the world's toughest penalties for insulting the royal family with sentences of up to fifteen years when he is monitoring developments in cambodia for us from the thai capital bangkok no surprise really that the less majesté laws sailed through the national assembly in phnom penh given that the ruling cambodian people's party of prime minister hun sen who's been in power for more than thirty years dominates that house of the national assembly so now the law will go to the senate which will really just be a

that is of concern to be put in ireland and to the government in dublin because the decisions that mr johnsonon both parts of ireland. i suppose people were a little bit more concerned about the fa ct little bit more concerned about the fact he is in such irresponsible and powerful position and was driven home by an mp later this evening, which seemed to suggest he was very much downplayed the priority that the british government should afford to the maintenance of an open border oran to the maintenance of an open border or an invisible border in the brexit talks. and i think people worry that someone like mrjohnson should be in such a powerful position. tell us a little bit more about what you're hearing about those leaks. what we hearing about those leaks. what we hear over here, i was just off the phone to someone in government buildings here, there is considerable concern about the views attributed to borisjohnson in a letter to theresa may and i suppose this comes against a background of the imminent publication of the eu's d raft the imminent publication of the eu's draft treaty, the wi

mr. johnson. should be noted that the ranking member has agreed to allow us to take care of the people in the queue before we go to him. mr. johnson, the floor is yours. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. again, congratulations on your chairmanship. this is your first hearing and i think it's a good one. dr. hall, i too want to echo my thanks for you and your team coming by my office and having the meeting a few weeks ago that we did. i really don't know how to frame this question that i have. but i've heard you say a couple of times in your testimony, you know, we use this model for this, we use that model for that. it seems to me that there's an element of science and an element of art in the work that you guys are doing. that there is an element of subjectivity and objectivity. some fact, some assumption and speculation. i'm a pretty simple minded guy. is there not a way to develop a scoring methodology that applies to everything, so that members and their staffs understand -- i me

mr. johnson, you're recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. secretary, welcome. i see the budget includes a proposal to stop individuals who are not authorized to work, from claiming a child tax credit. i have long had a proposal to require the social security number or the refundable child tax credit. it is especially relevant now, given the ongoing debate on immigration. mr. secretary, for the record, can an individual claim the refundable credit with just an individual taxpayer identification number? yes or. no. >> yes. >> thank you. doesn't this mean the individuals who aren't allowed to work, can get this, yes or no? >> actually i just want to modify my last statement. just to be clear, the irs has allowed -- that is an issue that we are looking at, the legal issues associated with. so i just want to clarify it, that i'm not making a commitment going forward. we are looking at the legal issues associated with this. >> i'm glad you're getting into it. i just had a joint tax core on my bill that saves 13.3 billion to address another issue, as you may know the

mr. johnson that that was not enough, that poor whites, african-americans, hispanics had started the race too late and they had too many handicaps. so he delivered the famous speech at howard university in 1965 which he coined the term affirmative-action. he said we've got some people, some people are starting a 100-yard race consists of people are starting the 100-yard race at the 50-yard line. others are starting at the 100-yard line, to use his analogy. he meant by that soft affirmative action, commitment to not discriminate by federal agencies, programs and by businesses. but affirmative action came to have a life of its own, and by the end of the 1960s there were those who are arguing for hiring quotas, arguing that workplace, ethnic and gender makeup of workplace, of workforce to reflect the makeup of a community in which it was in. so you had hard, well, this created an of the problem, dynamic, because the women's movement in this country, the civil rights movement in this country was based historically on equity value, treating everyone the same, treating everyone equal. when so-c

mr. johnson. mr. levin, you're recognized. >> special hello, sam. special hello. we've all welcomed serving with you. mr. secretary, we also appreciate the way you've been reaching out. we thank you. you said, no one size fits all. that was the line for decades and the problem was that the alternative was that any size at all will fit. and you now have a request, i think for a waiver, or you're reviewing the idaho health proposal that would allow premium rates tied to preexisting conditions i think in violation of aca. are you reviewing that? >> so, congressman levin, first thank you very much for our phone call. it meant a great deal to me. i plan to work with you. on the idaho situation i'm not aware of a waiver request. i have seen the media reports about interactions between the government of idaho and one plan but i'm not aware that our opinions or views have been solicited on that question yet. >> will you look at it? >> we will look at it, whenever it comes to us. of course there are rules, and there is a rule of law that we need to, that we need to enforce

mr. johnson and that they started the race to late with too many handicaps and then calling that affirmativeaction. but he said we have some people who are starting a 100-yard race at the 50-yard line. and others are at the 100-yard line to use his analogy. so he meant some soft affirmative action not discrimination by federal agencies or programs that had a life of its own and by the end of the 60s they were arguing the ethnic and gender makeup ought to reflect the makeup of the community. this created another problem. the women's movement the civil rights movement based historically on equity value treating everyone the same. so when hard affirmative action came around obviously the whole idea was the conservatives. with medicare and medicaid with voting rights the indication that they were undergoing they were going chaos before order. hopefully we are re-examining these values to survive. [applause] >> we are standing here with jason who is going to provide us a driving tour fayette felt like we are standing in front of the stone house one of the many public pieces of art we have here in

mr. johnson's testimony are questioning another understand their other questions about mapping.the fact that we have to get more granular data this is really to the providers, given the need for service providers proprietary asset information in our need for more granular broadband information is there pathway for good to street level understanding that meets both needs? >> i think so. the technology is not only being deployed by the federal government but by those advanced by the private sector. opportunity to afford think about how we can streamline and make it uniform approach to a mapping exercise so were not merely identifying addresses but geocoding longitudinally relevant locations we need to deliver broadband. that's why i said first it's fantastic that you're working to come up with creative solutions going forward to knowing the fcc will be driving this process forward needs to meaningfully coordinate with the fcc to avoid duplication and confusion. we need to think about the other assets including the census bureau using its resources to map and locate areas where the

mr. johnson introducing me to ralph ellison.dy really took me aside and it's like your special, but they talked about great books and the importance of that development as a writer. so think about reading the lottery for the first time i what that teaches us about to be introduced to this novel james joyce is a freshman in college when there's this explosive dynamic talent in ulysses. semi teachers introduced me to very important books that are still draw upon today. >> iris from southland michigan. >> hello i'm calling because i love your hairdo, it's really cool and peter read that quote by your father and i thought he went to my high school because we all thought the same way. i lived in a mixed area we all got along. wheaton college other names. and a lot of people that graduated with me of color not color went on to really great pics. two of the officers from a graduating class for people of all color. nobody call me a dirty -- and i didn't call anybody another name. we live together in the same neighborhoods and got along
