mr. jones. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. mr. secretary-general dempsey, thank you for being here today. mr. secretary, if the situation changes and you believe the use of force in syria becomes necessary, will this administration seek authorization from congress before taking action? >> we will -- we will clearly work with congress if it comes to the issue of the use of force. i think this administration wants to work within the war powers provision to ensure that we work together, not separately. >> mr. secretary, as a former member of congress, i have the biggest concern, and this has not pointed at this administration, it could be at any administration that they seem to want to take the authority to decide whether or not they need to go into a country that's not been a threat. it might have evil dictators. it might have problems in those countries. but i have been very concerned. i actually went to the federal courts with dennis kucinich and two other republicans and two other democrats. we went to the courts because of the d

were they going to say mr. jones has a lesion in the frontal lobe and that's why he should be held not guilty. >> rose: right. >> and right off the bat. >> rose: not responsible. >> not responsible. and right off the bat the problem with that notion is a lot of people have holes in the frontal lobe and most of them come to bad things. so the notion that you can say that because he has the hole, he did bad things, it's just weakness from the start. but then there's all new brain averages, brain imaging studies and saying well we see evidence now that maybe mr. jones couldn't form an intention. so maybe he didn't have guilty mind. >> rose: he didn't know the difference between right and wrong. >> he didn't know the difference between right and wrong and that should be an issue. and my take on it just to cut through it is that that is all coming in neuroscience in the next 15 years. what we have today i think is a very limited use of neuroscience in the court. it's not ready but it's coming. and i actually think that th

it's a gift from god, but i started off at 19 in a theatrical setting where i did a play called mr. jonessix week play, this is called humanithumility. i had no lines. thethen i ended up playing lead role at the last matinee on sunday. now i have a show called red tails junior and terrence howard. i'm a soldier with no lines. it may be a small part, but coming full circle, i stayed humble on carmen jones. i'll be a soldier having no lines with a rifle like this. >> it was a great experience. i loved it. the movie is coming out on martin luther king's birthday, red tails. george lucas. you can't beat that. >> is that everything? >> i think everything in here -- >> after the show -- look. >> just in case santa breaks in. wait a minute, santa. it's 3:00 in the morning. why you still here? you are supposed to be giving not taking. you don't want the wrong santa coming in at the wrong time. >> these are perfect. >> i can use these for santa. >> thank you for being here. it's always a pleasure. you can keep them on. if you would like to have contact j-red, the information is on our screen. than

>> reports say that mr. jones, after seeing the car crash through the front of the bowling alley, said "you wrecked my car!" >> she's going to have to be responsible for all this stuff, pay for it all one way or another. >> oh, she's responsible. see was sentenced to a nine-month jail term, suspended. she was banned for driving after 18 months after admitting drinking and driving. >> that ought to take her mind off the break-up. >> you get your heart broken, count to ten at leaf! >> eat a big bucket of chocolate ice cream. >> comfort food! >> much better than nine months in jail. >> every woman needs to know you're not going to get your roots down while you're in jail. >> reports also say that miss holly found out about this breakup because her boyfriend davy jones changed his facebook status. >> that's the cruelest break-up of them all where your friend know and you don't know yet. >> that's not a real man. not to tell her to her face. >>> a guy asks for a light and he just spontaneously combusts. see what happen

supervisor kim: thank you, mr. jones. >> hi, i am michael lyon, and i am on the action board. i want to talk about linda yueh just moved in to us. she is on ssi, a senior was severe disabilities. she struggles just to move around. linda is not a basket place. for years, she held our neighborhood together. she knew everybody in the neighborhood, what they needed, and arranged that there needs got taken care of. in her 50 pashtun yes, she graduated from mills as a full scholarship student, so if there is anybody who should have been able to find affordable housing, it should have been linda, but for decades, she and her disabled son lived in a house that had huge leads in the roof and mold all over the place. there was no hot water. the toilet was iffy, and meanwhile, the mcmansions were being built on vacant lots in bernal heights. she was afraid to call her landlord. finally, the landlord died, and her relatives wanted to fix up the house. she had to move out, and so now, this incredible woman with hundreds of friends as having to leave san francisco, and there are many -- for

i was assigned person in jacksonville, mr. jones, who really helped me and deserves k accolades for working with me and a taxpayer. i had called the tax office, i had gone down in person, and to get no assistance, so i finally thought i would call the national taxpayers' advocacy program. i didn't get any help, but thank goodness for my representative who was able to. >> i'm sorry about that. the phone line that we have on the screen is actually the number for my employees. the number that is listed of other materials are actually not my employees, they're employees of the irs that just answer the phones and are supposed to help solve problems before they come to us, if they can. so i'm glad that you ultimately got help. a lot of our cases do come from congressional offices. i can only say that we deal with about 300,000 cases a year, and we do have about a 75% relief rate. which means that about three out of every faw, so they better get ret leaf they're asking for when they came to our office. i'm glad that ultimatelt the good res

. >> mr. jones, bigger ill dull jens to touch on what mr. white discussed. and throughout this session we've talked about the need for the irs to receive additional information third party information and how that would enhance revenue collection. but what is just as important is once the irs receives this information, what it does with it. that is a problem that we've reported on before. whether it's a 1099 or what have you. the irs will receive this information from an employer and yet and then will receive a tax return, a return seeking a refund and it won't match the two in time to ensure that the information is accurate. so if someone wants to commit tax fraud, you know, they're able to claim more in a refund than they're entitled to because the irs didn't on a timely basis compare the information. and that is a major player. yes, it's a resource you don't derive in terms of their having fewer come computer systems or revenue officers or i differ to mr. miller to address how they handle that internally. but it is a significant problem. >> i agree with g

he then went on to read mr. jones' letter which was really rather perfuntory, finished the letter, put everything back in including his glasses and walked out. as soon as he reached the door, the general offered resolutions in support of the commander in chief, spontaneous of course. it all had been so carefully planned. the resolutions were offered and voted on unanimously. i do wonder what must have been going through colonel armstrong's head, general gates' head as they had to vote for the but they did not not vote for the resolutions. the resolutions were carried to congress to assure the body that the army, while distressed, was loyal. at almost the same moment that the resolutions arrived from newburgh, news arrived from paris. peace. peace. not the final treaty. that would take a little bit longer. but that stubborn king, george iii, had finally acceded to the independence of the colonies of the states. the war was essentially over. news was sent back to newburgh, to general washington, and general washington i

[ laughter ] >> mr. jones? of course they came -- well, you're not so sure about that. if they didn't come in here sponsored by a presadio grant they were probably illegal. i forget the time immigration was suspended by mexico, they were illegal immigrants. we have a long tradition of illegal immigration but it started out with anglos and people who talked the language that i talk and maybe who had blue eyes and red hair or blond hair, whatever. we have to keep that in context. it's directly applicable to what we're talking about today. anyway, i don't want to take up your time. people who actually know something will be talking to you most of the day. i told you about the m.a. ferguson story. there's another wonderful story directly related to the land office about a former commissioner named peg leg ward. if you have time, read about peg leg. no one can hold a candle to peg leg ward. that's all i have to say. i appreciate y'all being here. god bless texas. thank you. [ applause ] >> we're already ahead of time. we have a distinguished group of speakers today. introduc

mr. jones, he had contested mann's election, was paid the full freight t $2500. but in menard's case, the committee on accounts proposed to lowering that amount to $1500. to be fair, the chairman of this three-person panel, and it was a rather backwards panel, had decided he could get some attention and save the house a little bit of cash. and he also recommended that caleb hunt only be paid $1500 in this case. but dawes objected to this because he smelled that there was more than just pea kunry motivation at work here for the reduction. and the reaction to him in the chamber was telling. i appeal to the house that they will not be carried away by their project dises to colors and race, dawes said. i appeal to them not to treat him by one rule and the white man by another. i ask the gentleman who passed the constitutional amendment to see that this is not done. mr. speaker, it is unconstitutional to treat him differently. and the congressional globe, which often has wonderful little asides in it from this time period, reported that it was laughter that greeted ea

and mr. jones did keep his men off the section because he didn't think it was safe. and for that he was told he would be discharged if he didn't go up on the section and work in an unsafe area. if this management had listened to him, maybe we would have more people alive today, and maybe this wouldn't have happened. so we have good people everywhere trying to do the right thing if we just gave them a little more authority and a little more power. but there is a world of difference between an inspection at a union mine and a nonunion mine. there is three minimum health and safety committee representatives of the united mine workers at every union mine. they travel with the federal inspectors. they travel with the state inspectors. and they file reports on their own. they inspect the mines themselves, at least four times a year. in some places they inspect the entire mine every month. so there is another set of eyes that being a representative to workers at all the union mines. and that's not true at a most nonunion mines. the protections that they have at nonunion min

as mr. jones pointed out in the war powers act, it is unlikely we would have a declaration of war, but that would be one thing. we know if there was a national attack, that would be one of them. the second thing would be specific statutory authorization. do you feel that it would be a requirement to have proper legal authority that if he did not have a declaration of war or an attack on the united states, that you would have to have specific statutory authority -- in other words, the permission of congress, before you take military action against syria? >> we would not take action without proper legal authority. >> i understand, and all due respect, we are trying to find out what exactly proper legal authority is. that is what we have to act under. we do not have the president here to chat with him or have a cup of coffee and ask him. you are the closest we get. we are asking from your understanding as secretary of defense, what is proper legal authority? with that require specific statutory autho

is that the same thing, mr. jones, in the state of illinois?well our state is gripped by one of the three winners and we reached out and asked whoever the person might be to call a couple of numbers in case they wanted to contact us so that we could begin the winner claim process and especially give them advice that steve gave them as far as seeking counsel, signing the back of their ticket, keeping the ticket in a safe place. >> what other advice do you give them? do they have to come forward? do they have to be publicly available and take their photo with the big giant check? i've walked through this many times personally in my head when i win. i would just never ever, ever in a million years go public ever. >> well there's a reason for that. >> isaa state of maryland it's not required -- >> we'll start with you mr. martino. >> sorry. >> i was just going to say in the state of maryland it is not required that a winner do publicity. so that is a choice that the winner would have to make. i think that the law and mikical talk about this in illi

the root fact is, mr. jones, about 150 black men are killed every week in this country. this is episode has been forced into a particular narrative to make it a white on black when the "new york times" rather infamously decided that mr. zimmerman was a white hispanic, rare until then, i think they abandoned that by friday. >> i think this hits pretty close to home. as an african-american parent, i have two boys. i think i'll have to go broke buying tuxes to walk down the streets to buy a snickers. this kid was not in a gang. someone somehow saw him, let's give zimmerman the benefit of the doubt. let's assume that he was trying to do his brother's keeper, when he saw this young man, he didn't see his brother he saw the other. this does not take away from any other problem. this is disturbing. as a black parent, i don't know how to protect my sons. if something helps appens to yo child, the police are going to be on your side. if your child dies at the hands of someone who's armed, i got to dress my kid in a tuxedo and he was shot -- >> what's on trial now are these stand

the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: mr. speaker, thank you very much. like my colleagues in the house, i was home for the last two weeks on our easter break, and it continues to amaze me why we in congress do not listen to the american people. i represent the third congressional district of north carolina, the home of camp lejeune marine base, seymour johnson air force base and over 60,000 retired veterans. not one person said to me we need to stay in afghanistan. i'm not exaggerating, mr. speaker. every one that i saw and had a conversation with and the issue of afghanistan came up in the conversation said, get out, get out now. that's why i want to be on the floor today because the administration keeps saying, well, 2014, 2014. and yesterday driving back to d.c. i was listening to c-span and i heard an interview with secretary panetta and general dempsey and i have a lot of respect for both men, but it was kind of vague when secretary panetta said to the reporter that asked him our plans for 2014. when, you know, we're ho

mr. jones: thank you very much. i am coming to the floor again to clear the names of two marine pilots who crashed in arizona april 8 of 2000. not only two pilots, but there were 17 marines in the back. the v-22, which is the plane that gos from a helicopter mode to a plane mode at that time was really in an -- was really an experimental plane. and major gruber and colonel brau in the cockpit had no idea what was happening when the plane went into what's called vortex ring state and i'd like to go through this 10-year journey for the record, mr. speaker. it so happened that in november of 2002, major gruber's wife who lives in my district, jacksonville, north carolina, her husband brooks gruber was the co-pilot and she wrote me a letter that i'd like to read. i contact you in hopes that leaders of integrity, free of bias, would have both the intelligence and the courage it takes to decide the facts for themselves. if you do that, you will agree that human factor pilot error findings should not stand as it is in the

i very much appreciate it march general jones. mr. toe lentino said when he was there, he said it was fairly common if somebody came in with a problem, don't ask if there's another issue. there's all sorts of correlations here that are wrong but i just want to tell you that okay, so if that's done and i believe he's probably right because that then we can have a problem but if you combine that with what major jones said that the folks that he's working with, the major stressor is unknown, we've got a problem in our system here because the only way you're going to find out how to get to the real root of the problem when it comes to mental health and i'm not a mental health professional, is you've got to find out what that stressor is, find out what created that problem. does that kind of -- let me just ask you. if you had a va professional in one of the of see boks or in one of the hospitals tell their people that don't ask any questions because we don't want to know, i'm hoping to hell that doesn't come from your end. and why would th
