mr. jones as serving as u.s. attorney and atf director. is why i requested to postponed it. so it was unfortunate that we go ahead with this hearing before an open plan is resolved. in april, the chairman started talking about a hearing for mr. jones, i was concerned about moving forward. there were a number of outstanding requests that i made to mr. jones. i previously received a copy of an anonymous letter to the office of special console making vicious allegations against mr. jones. i sent a letter to ose on april 8 asking for an update on those allegations. on april 12, ose responded that there were two pending matters involving the u.s. attorney's office, the district of minnesota where mr. jones was a u.s. attorney. the first matter was a prohibited personnel practice complaint and the second was a whistleblower alleging gross mismanagement and abuse of authority. on may 28, the chairman sent out a knows for a hearing for mr. jones to be held the 2308 lowing week. on may 29, i sent a lett

it also details mr. jones' negative attitude towards whistleblowers and retaliatory action he took against mr. paulson. we received this document late yesterday afternoon. we're still reviewing the document. osc requested of the chairman that the file be designated, quote-unquote, committee confidential. last evening my staff informed the chairman's staff that i would be asking questions based on this document. we asked the chairman's staff to let us know if he intended to designate the document committee confidential. to my knowledge, the chairman has not done so. i certainly do not think that it would be appropriate to hide this information. i see no reason griffin mr. paulson's waiver why this should not be available as part of the record. in fact, i was told repeatedly that this hearing, this very day, would be my one opportunity to ask mr. jones any questions that i wish, and i certainly intend to ask mr. jones questions about the allegations described in the complaint. i have additional procedural proble

attorney in the state, mr. jones. the data i have here is that the minnesota violent crime rate in 2011 was a little over 200 per 100,000 inhabitants. the violent crime rate in texas was about 400. i also have the crime rates of every member of the committee that are here. i thought it was interesting to look at. i would note that the only two states that have lower crime rates per 100,000 inhabitants has been minnesota -- are the states of utah and the state of vermont. there is many things that contribute to crime rates. i would point out that this idea that somehow during your term that work is not being done just is not supported by these numbers and i would put that on the record. i also would put on the record the fact that we have many people here from law enforcement in this room in support of you, mr. jones. the executive director of the fraternal order of police trade we have the international association of chiefs of police. the director of the state association of chiefs of police. we have prince george's

here's what mr. jones said -- quote -- "well quite frankly senator i'm at a disadvantage with the facts. there is a process in place. i have not seen the o.s.c. complaints:." so we have a problem. and i put the rest of my statement in the record and also that statement that i gave in regard to the -- to the judges that we're voting on today. the presiding officer: under the previous order the question occurs on the alejandro nomination. all those in favor say aye. all those opposed say no. the ayes appear to have it. the ayes do have it. the nomination is confirmed. under the previous order the question occurs on the schmehl nomination. mr. leahy: yeas and nays. the presiding officer: the yeas and nays are requested. is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. the clerk will call the roll. vote: vote: vote: vote: vote: the presiding officer: have all senators voted? does any senator wish to change his or her vote? if not on this vote, the ayes are 100 the nays are 0 and the nomination is confirmed.

as mr. jones pointed out and others, there are many, many problems and challenges in afghanistan, not the least of which is the corruption within the government, but our goal has always been clear. whatever the minimum is to get a government that can stand and deny a safe haven to those who threaten america, that was a fight worth doing. but we have done what we can do. we have trained hundreds of thousands of afghan national security forces, and it's time to turn that responsibility over to afghanistan. it will always be a challenging part of the world in both afghanistan and pakistan, violent extremists are abundant in both places and we'll have to keep an eye on it but we don't need the troop levels we have now. we need to drawdown in a very responsible way, and i think the gentleman's amendment weighs out a plan to do it and i support it and i support his efforts to get out of afghanistan as soon as we responsibly can. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from california. mr. mckeon: reserve

get some reaction from a stumble based i need jason jones mr jones welcome to all sea thanks for joining us so please tell us it was thank you so what time of the reasons for all those tens of thousands of texts to go and protest against the government what do they want well that. well i would i would say that there are probably. many many many reasons why people are there individual reasons to think that set off the environmental aspect of it was only a spark that set everything else in motion. of the people that are out there are our. government slogans and calling for the resignation of heir to juan however each of their individual reasons probably very different groups because every major protest group you would see in istanbul has is represented out there but it's the mass of people who are not representing any particular cause that is alarming for i think i think for the government point to you do these protests the potential to escalate and take things as far as a revolution. well it's very early to say something like that i don't sense that it would be a fair comparison to to lea

do this through a great period this particular juncture but it underlines the contradictions in mr jones policies which are coming home to roost and we have a very short amount of time left but turkey has been fighting to get in the european union for years is that even possible at this point does this hurt it absolutely but i'm not sure that they're going to care it's because they're going cares a great deal about washington but it doesn't worry as much about brussels will end . director of the turkey project at c s i s thank you so much for weighing in thank you. now so the fall out from the revelations that the u.s. government not only has the ability to monitor your phone and your computer records but that it has been storing them in mass here's the latest information n.s.a. leaker edward snowden is currently in hiding he was last seen in hong kong and is believed to be still in that area and surprisingly booz allen hamilton has announced that it has fired snowden for violation of the firm's code of ethics and policy meanwhile there has already been some international fallout as a re

the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: mr. speaker, thank you very much. i, like all members of congress, during the memorial daybreak, i had two occasions to speak to a different type of recognition speeches to the families of those who gave loved ones that never came back from wars, so therefore i had several opportunities in north carolina, home of camp lejeune airbase, cherry point marine station. every time i made the comment that it's time to bring our troops home from afghanistan, it was time to stop paying karzai, who is the president of afghanistan, truthfully, mr. speaker, i get a strong applause and many times after the speeches people come up to me and say i agree with you. it's time we stop spending this money in afghanistan. it's time to start spending the money in america and let the afghans take care of themselves. mr. speaker, probably a couple weeks ago i know i spoke on the floor of the house and probably other members have seen the article that was in "the new york times" where the c.i.a. acknowledged that

people like mr. jonesn a basement or a farmhouse or an actual into professional grade television. p.j.-tv.s >> pajama's media, i believe, un by a conservative blogger, glen reynolds. >> this is somebody named rachael. let's watch it. >> they're the ones always keeping people angry about the past, falsely accusing republicans of what the democrats have done. they're going put y'all back in chains. > the guilty past and punish republicans for the past they're not guilty of, all part of characteristics of covering up slavery for fighting evil to lavery benghazi. wmds, n syria can hide and just like charles ramsey was able to stumble over and truth about his nasty neighbor, the truth will be uncovered with the failure of obama administration in benghazi. >> you got some big testicles to pull this off, bro. reaction? >> websites are not known for humorists. lot of i don't know if he's going for humor. he's going for a colorful personality. we tried it at politico. the comedy world has seen this as well. with yo

thank mr. jones for bringing.bout individuals being marginalized. we should never need an amendment like this. we shouldn't have to bring this forward. the people who have been marginalized in the last several years have been the people of faith. and the facts speak for themselves. sometime when that pendulum swings too far back you have to have language like this to correct it. when the air force you can no longer use the word god in the air force even if it's not a religious context. that's too far. when the navy issues memorandum that say you can't bring a bible in to a hospital fen you're a minister, even if the patient requests it. that's too far. when you have the air force issuing a memorandum to commanders that say even when you have approved program that are there to help the men and women under their command, and they know they need the programs, a commander can't even tell them the programs exist if those programs are under the officer of the chaplain. there's no other part of the service where they do

they'd go to mrs. jones at one house and mr. smith and could ignore the rest.voters in red neighborhoods with this technology. >> so one of the key moments in the campaign of course, is the first debate. what happened? >> i got a whole chapter on that. essentially, the president wanted to get physical with romney. he wanted to be aggressive. his advisors were telling him don't do that. >> don't be aggressive. >> bad advice they said later because they said in prep every time they gave him a scalpel, he took out a hatchet, right? and they didn't trust that he was going to be able to perform. actually he was 0 for 6 against john kerry playing mitt romney in that mock debate. and he understood afterward, do you remember that viral video with samuel l. jackson, he goes in with the beret, wake the "f" up. so afterward -- >> you got a good samuel l. jackson impression. >> then obama says to patrick gesparda, he says i didn't realize samuel l. jackson was talking to to me. >> real quick, the relationship between bill clinton and barack obama. he believed till the last

people like mr. jonesbenefit from that in terms of being able to turn what could be or basement or a farmhouse an actual office studio into really professional. >> what is pga tv? >> pajamas media, run by a conservative blogger. >> this is somebody named alfonzo rachel. watch. >> they are the ones always keeping people angry about the past, falsely accusing the republicans of what democrats have done. >> they will put you all back in chains. >> liberals equate democrats for their guilty past and punish public and for a past they are not guilty of. all parts of the democrat death -- characteristics. i reckon if a next-door neighbor can hide three women in his house for years, i reckon syria can hide wmd's. just like charles ramsey was able to uncover the truth about his nasty neighbor, the truth will be the failure of the obama administration him and ghazi. >> you have got some big testicles to pull this off, broke. bro. >> your reaction? >> it -- one thing it had that web the the -- let videos do not -- we

in this country, you cannot get anywhere near to these people unless it happens to be a week that mr. jones is speaking in new mexico, whatever. the politicians of our nation have forgotten what debate is, -- not forgotten but don't seem to recognize what it is, and i think it's a large reason why so much is broken down. thanks. >> thank you for the comment. yes, ma'am? >> this may not be something that you talk about in your book, but -- okay, you seem to be talk egg mostly exclusively about viral hate on the internet. what happens -- would you comment on what happens -- this happens face-to-face. i've had this happen face-to-face and i'm wondering if you can address that. >> at least on face-to-face you know who is saying it to you and people are taking a degree of responsibility for saying it to you face-to-face. one of the things the adl did sometime ago was get passed in georgia an antimask law that if you go into march through the streets of a town to promote -- to protest integration you need to take responsibility for that message. you can't terrorist people with masks on -- terrore

the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: mr. speaker, thank you very much. last week i was home. on saturday i had the pleasure to speak to about 50 citizens in the third district of north carolina, which i represent, and i carry this poster with me, mr. speaker, and also have a one-page flier. the purpose of this is to continue to wake up the american people that we are in afghanistan and unless you have a loved one you probably don't think about it. that's human nature. it's not a criticism. but i take this and then i give the flier and it has the cartoon. mr. speaker, the cartoon says -- it has karzai with a little debit card and he's standing at an a.t.m. machine and at the top it says ciatm. then he says, i'm just making a quick withdrawal. he's got bags of cash at his feet, and then sadly, there's a soldier in the background that says, "i'd like to make a quick withdrawal from here." mr. speaker, last week we had two american soldiers killed and one civilian, and the war keeps going on and on and we in congress just act li

the tension between the president who doesn't want to stop being president mr hoops jones the constitution so he will become there's so what you're saying there the reason why this is blown up as it has this weekend is much more than just protecting a great open space that was a catalyst but there's a lot more behind it what should the government do the end of the day it's the weekend this is downtown is stamboul what should the government do to protect other members of the public. well part of the problem is your own reports many reports have shown us the excessive use massive use of tear gas has disrupted a literary life for many people in this very densely populated part of the city and it's also disrupted tourism this is a city that has huge numbers of foreign tourists many of them have been affected many of them sort of for help it's a public relations disaster with huge economic implications and the turkish economy which had been doing very well for the first ten years of mr adams was beginning to stall the property boom is turning into a bubble bursting the war with syria is of cour

the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: mr. speaker, thank you very much. mr. speaker, i continue to be disappointed in the house leadership that we are not looking into this issue of the c.i.a. giving tens of millions of dollars to karzai, the corrupt leader of afghanistan. we don't hold any hearings about it. we're spending money there. our kids are still dying. we had four killed yesterday in afghanistan. i would like to take this opportunity to thank senator corker from tennessee for taking the lead on monday in writing a letter to the secretary of state john kerry and demanding an explanation of the secret payments by the c.i.a. i fully agree with the senator's decision to place a hold on u.s. funding for afghanistan. mr. speaker, we're having -- still having kids killed in afghanistan, severely wounded, and yet there is no full debate on the floor of the house. that to me is a tragedy, that we should be debating the issue of afghanistan. mr. speaker, to make things worse, yesterday in "the new york times," karzai's office

i appreciate the words of mr. jones and others have offered. have to say in those circumstances, when we have largely attended events that are of anythe context particular religion, we have to be very careful about that. we see here even in the congress when we have chaplains coming forward for the house of representatives for a prayer, and many instances, i think they are suggested they might not go to their own religion come i think they do it. but i think that we have a strong tradition of different cultures and religions in our country. and we have to respect that. i believe that chaplains of every religion are able to pray of to invoke the blessings religion in many different ways without necessarily invoking their own religious police. i think we have to understand that. it is difficult to understand that. it is important that we recognize that. any agency of the federal government should be represented by lots of that government is really sundered freedom of religion for us as a first amendment right -- we have to respect that. particula

mr. jones: mr. speaker, thank you very much. and i want to thank the chairman and the ranking member for their words today and i'll take just a very few minutes. mr. speaker, as has been said both, this is a plan to maintain and protect a part of north carolina's history, as mr. wittman said, these horses have been traced back by general he ethic experts to -- genetic experts to the spanish mustangs that swam ashore in the 1600's. they are really part of our heritage. these beautiful little horses roam, as has been said by both sides today, over 7,500 acres of public and private land. this is now the corolla. these little horses are so special that the citizens of the area decided that they should try to create a foundation, where they could work together with the federal government, the state government and the county government and it's known as the corolla wild horse fund. t.s.a. nonprofit. these people are -- it is a nonprofit. these people are just absolutely convinced and committing to making sure that for years to come do

. >> i'm going to recognize mr. jones because when they vote to sure i know members want to take a look at those before they begin. we will recess until five minutes after the vote series concludes. we will reconvene at that point. so, mr. johnson. >> dr. blahous, the trustees report estimates that medicare hospital insurance trust funds projected to spend more money, a in claim issue that will click on the payroll tax, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> how long has this been the case? >> 2008 was when expenditures began to exceed tax income. >> okay. are you aware of any program that is financially sustainable if it spends more money than it adds, or is this a recipe for bankruptcy? >> well, obviously we can't continue on that path forever. in our current projection over the next decade, we are projecting almost an exact symmetry between income and outgo, and the actual is a brief blip later in the decade where we are projecting tax incomes for one year exceeded expenditures. but then after that the lines fall apart

amendment number 168 by mr. jones to require the determination of costs that are incurred outside of the u.s. amendment 170 by mr. conaway and that this is the national guard counter narcotics program that ensures the continued funding. amendment number 185 by ms. porter to direct the secretary of defense on progress made toward adopting acquisition strategy for insurance that minimizes the cost of such insurance to the dod and contractors as required by section number eight or three of fiscal year 2009. then by mr. andrews, giving at least equal importance to technical criteria and a technical evaluation of the program by the director of operational test and evaluation. amendment number two to one to affirm that nothing constitutes an authorization for the use of force. any discussion on the unblocked amendments? >> you're recognized for two minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to commend my colleagues for bringing these amendments forward. the national guard was placed on the border. they were most effective

an open investigation in the office of special counsel regarding very troubling allegations that mr. jones retaliated against whistle-blowers in the u.s. attorney's office. he's now up for confirmation for the agency, alcohol, tobacco and firearms. may i ask, how many minutes before we vote? the presiding officer: [inaudible] mr. grassley: last week we received a letter explaining the status of the matter. she wrote that the parties had agreed to participation in mediation. she also wrote -- quote -- "if mediation's unsuccessful, the case would return to the office of special counsel's investigation-prosecution division for further investigation." on monday she wrote us another letter confirming that the case was still open. now we were told that the reason we had to move forward with the hearing was because an april letter from the office of special counsel was made public

mr. cautious? >> blue chip names, high dividend yields. the dow jones have 5% yields. 4% yields, the next five have on average 3.6. just buy a basket of the companies. the mercks, intels, pfizers, at&ts, verseds, and you get good diversi diversity. why wouldn't you earn those? taxed at a preferential rate, owning the corporate bond funds rolling over, make an allocation decision. >> if we see a pullback, it will be the fourth annual, the summer swoon so to speak. what catalysts do you see on the horizon that could spark that if we do see it? >> i'm glad you asked that question. i wasn't prepared for that. if the u.s. economy is mostly a consumer-driven economy, 70%, and most of the consumer earnings come in the second half, the third, fourth quarter because it's back to school and christmas, you have to look for the canaries in the coal mine now. if you've noticed, retailers have been very choppy the last three weeks. a lot of hits and misses. i would suspect the negative catalyst is more negative news out of the consumer names, which we don't own now.

jones. >> thank you, mr. speaker.what is the number of supply teachers in secondary school is increased by 17%? >> add-on at the figures for that. we have protected the amount of money that goes into schools per-pupil so the schools have the money to employ teachers they named. >> mariam a cloud.
