mr. jones was a subject of an office of special counsel investigation due to allegations that he retaliated against a whistle-blower in the u.s. attorney's office in minnesota. as mr. jones' nomination progressed in the senate, the justice department, the whistle-blower agreed to try mediation. the majority tried to claim that the special counsel's case was there for a close. however, i did state on the floor the special counsel's investigation would continue if mediation failed. nevertheless, despite the open special counsel investigation, we voted on july 31 to confirm mr. jones. in early september, the whistle-blowers mediation with the justice department did indeed fail. the special counsel has resumed its investigations of mr. jones just as the special counsel told the senate that it would. so the retaliation complaint against mr. jones is still pending this very day. we don't know what the outcome will be because we did not take time to gather the facts as senators should. if we're unwill

mr. jones, welcome to "mad money." how are you, sir? great to see you, sir. have a seat.ally that kind of deposit base. is that because the economy really is booming down there? >> well, we're fortunate to be in texas for one thing, obviously. but it's more than that, it's real execution. and kind of a secret to our success, whatever success we've had, frankly, is finding the right people to execute for you. and we work hard at hiring teams from other competing organizations that can bring their business with them. and that's the organic growth we get. as you said, we haven't bought a financial institution ever. >> so this is one of the things also where you're a local bank for a state and not some out of towner? >> yes. that's exactly right and i think that helps us too. we work hard at being local home fella to be able to do business with people that bank in texas and we've expanded a little bit. you mentioned the mortgage warehouse business and a couple of other national businesses outside the state. but probably about 90% of our business is related -- >> let's talk ab

mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: mr. speaker, during the thanksgiving break, i wrote a letter to president obama, which i like to ask unanimous consent to submit for the record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. jones: the letter respectfully reminded the president that president karzai continues to thumb his nose in the eyes of the american taxpayer. we have seen many news articles reporting karzai refusal to sign bilateral strategic agreement that this administration has proposed, an agreement that would obligate united states money and united states troops for at least 10 more years in afghanistan. in an associated press article printed in my state paper tiled "afghanistan president delays deal," the subtitle goes on to read, "u.s. says it will pull out troops if security agreement isn't signed." mr. speaker, it is my hope that the house will encourage the president to pull our troops out and stop spending money we do not have in a country that does not even want our hel

the chair recognizes the gentleman from north carolina, mr. jones, for five minutes. mr. jones: mr. speaker, thank you. yesterday, i came to the floor to speak about the bilateral strategic agreement and the fact that president karzai has refused to sign the proposal offered by the administration. since we have been in afghanistan, 2,285 americans have given their lives for our country and 19,514 have been wounded. the time has come for congress to understand history. from the days of alexander the great to the british to the russians, no one has ever changed afghanistan. the american people are tired of the cost of war, both life and money. as i said yesterday, it is my hope that in early 2014, the leadership of the house will permit a debate and a vote on the agreement that will obligate our country to afghanistan for at least 10 more years. i realize that the vote will not change the agreement, because the president does have the authority, but this will give us a chance to represent the people of america who the majority are opposed to this agreement. it is unacceptable that we
