kennedy, primarily going to ask you, but mr. kelly if you have information, because of your independent testing role, please feel free to add. is -- mr. kennedy, is takata the only airbag manufacturer that uses sodium nitrate into its airbags? >> it is ammonia nitrate, sir. i believe we are the only one that uses it as a main propellants. there are other manufacturers that use it as a supplemental propellant. >> is there any other airbag other than those manufactured by takata that has been -- experienced this energetic disruption, i think you called it mr. kelly? >> i can't really speak to recalls for the other suppliers, chairman burgess. i really don't know the answer to that. >> it's just that we've had -- this is the second hearing that i've been involved in on this issue, and ammonium nitrate keeps coming can up. it is a pretty powerful compound and it just begs the question, is there a linear relationship between the ammonium nitrate used as an inflater and these accidents that are happening. >> well, the studies that we've don

kwrn and mr. kelly and i filed it to help them understand the unique nature of the system that encompassed on us obligations and the message was you have to be kothd of the federal law it gives us those rights and exposing pose those obligations as you determine our distribution services from pummeling and i certainly thought i think that commissioner moran and others thought that was a productive visit on the wastewater we've been engaged on the ocean beach facility as you undoubtedly know the patterns in the pacific is a result of dredge has exposed the bluff to sharper wave parents and the bluff is exposed one the sewage tunnels that is a challenge to tale with that in washington, d.c. in the good ole days put money into the appropriation bail here's the money no one wants a sewer into the pacific ocean when i earmark you have a have a process where you work with allocation and the poor and send signals and we've been successful if getting that done it is taking a long period of time it looks like we

mr. kelly: i do, mr. speaker. the speaker: congratulations, you are now a member of the 114th congress. without objection the gentleman from mississippi, mr. thompson is recognized for one minute. mr. thompson: thank you very much mr. speaker. friends and colleagues, i have the honor of welcoming the new representative from mississippi's first congressional district. for me that mean he is will be representing the neighboring district in the northeast corner of the state which most of you are familiar with. but also for others, it means he'll be representing the birth place of elvis presley. trent kelly is from the little known town of salito, mississippi. the speaker: the gentleman will suspend. the house will be in order. the gentleman may proceed. mr. thompson: thank you mr. speaker. trent kelly is from the little town of saltillo, mississippi. population 3,393. he knows the district well, having served as district attorney for the largest judicial district in that area. representative kelly has also served in

mr. kelly of pennsylvania. >> thank you, chairman. and i think all of you were here today -- i really appreciate you being here. i want to make sure we get off on the right foot. this has nothing to do with us not having a heart and not wanting to help people who need health insurance. i want to make sure we understand that. and one of the things that i think is really critical and professor i really appreciate your input, i'm an automobile dealer. we just went through the new package for our people. it's up over 30%. and we really keep it at that little bit over 30% was by working with the deductible a little bit. i've got to tell you, become home where i'm from if sustainable means capable of being sustained -- i looked it you were. because i wanted to make sure we understand. sustainable is a method of harvesting or using a resource so that resource is not depleted or permanently damaged. and so when we talk about these programs, as a private business person, your model has to be sustainable or you're on a fool's errand, you won't

so, thing are heating outside, mr. kelly. >> heating up and we have the tempers heating up, too, the traffic jam starting to build. 7:05 on a thursday morning, live look at an accident westbound, on the schuylkill expressway. this is just west of belmont avenue. right near the penndot salt shed here, police have it off to the shoulder. but attracting some attention, so that delay pretty much begins around the roosevelt boulevard, and then heads west out toward conshohocken with that crash there being looked at. and another accident there is one in new jersey, northbound lanes of 295, right at the 42 freeway interchange, where it all kind of comes together here, 295, 42, 130, working your way in toward philadelphia. here's a live look at the back up, from that accident. this is the 42 freeway, headed in toward 295. otherwise, speedometer readings, your normal delays here along the blue route, right in the area of route one, starting to get some sun glare here at the cons she curvement then south on 95, stack up, from cottman,

mr. kelly: i thank the gentleman mr. speaker. thomas jefferson once said the cornerstone of democracy rests in the foundation of an educated electorate. whenever the people are well-informed they can be trusted with their own government. jefferson's vision for our democracy was premised on the notion that individuals are intelligent enough to determine the best choices for their lives their families and their communities. and not some money lithic, personalistic government. a prerequisite of being well-informed is to ensure that the american people have adequate information about how federal policies and decisions made in washington will or are impacting their lives. that's why this france parentsy is so is right -- transparency is so vital to our government. it is to tell the electorate. laws should not be shrouded in secrecy. we need to be fostering a culture of openness and transparency when legislating and making decisions here in washington. that's what this legislation is all about, providing more transparency to the americ

how are the roads looking out there mr. kelly. >> actually not that bad dave. good morning everybody. 5:49. hello northeast philadelphia woodhaven road right here near thornton road up there by the philadelphia mills, old franklin mills no problems at all in or out of the city this morning. road still look damp and wet. here's a exit off of the new jersey turnpike at exit number two, which is 322. this is your main opportunity to get in and out of the area there along 295, you know, exits, 15, 16, 17 are all blocked so to get access in that area you can use the new jersey turnpike. steve keeley has been live all morning in northeast philadelphia, down tree a wrong bridge street that is block at cottage. i just talk to septa and they said the city needs to remove the tree in order for them to get in there and put buses back on track. so i guess all fingers are pointing to the city to get in there and get the tree out of there. until then buses will be detoured j 26, 73, 75 and a 84 detoured, and obviously everybody else going around the block detoured off of bri

for that we will go over to mr. kelly, hi bob. >> good morning everybody. 4:31 on this monday. not bad this morning. we have that overnight construction, you know the drill, vine street expressway still block both directions between the schuylkill, and broad street, you can either exit at south street or spring garden as the a alternate. coming in from south jersey, a lot of folks like to stay down the shore an extra day and come right from the beach right in the office as we look live here on the 42 freeway bright spotlight still on the construction zone here in the background near 295 but light volume, so far this morning. now, as you work your way up 295 we will hear more on this from steve in a moment. keep in mind that area 295 exit number 17 on and off ramps are still blocked from storm damage earlier last week and a chinatown storm damage from a transformer fire that occurred on saturday during the height of the storm. still has power out traffic light out and race street is block at tenth street. there is a power crew, working there along race but they have put up stop

how is it out there mr. kelly. >> we are seeing sun glare. 5:47.e are seeing i-95 with sun at your back southbound out of northeast philadelphia, for gang rolling through the construction zone, so far so good. a problem downtown philadelphia here where traffic lights are defective at eighth and vine. let's role video from the news van as police are blocking traffic as you come off of the vine street expressway. i believe all of this is related to the transformer fire, that occurred, saturday night, in chinatown. so this is going to cause delays for anyone coming through that stretch even the herrs potato chip guys that will make u turn there and again, it is the seventh and eighth street at race and it is also blocking the traffic lights or i should say defective over ben franklin bridge into philadelphia a race street is blocked as well from seventh over to tenth street. so a a lot of confusion for the morning rush hour in this area. that will impact everybody coming over the the benny coming into downtown philadelphia we will have breakfast later

you heard mr. kelly talk about some. it takes a long time's. seven at 12 years. it takes high absolute humidity high heat. what is difficult what is difficult about the situation is you can put to inflator is in that situation. one is fine and what is not. that is really what the struggle has been with getting to the root cause. ammonium nitrate appears to be one factor that contributes. high humidity is an issue. my understanding is some of these are manufactured to absorb humidity which would then go along with the seven to 12 year timeframe of presumably what they will get completely used up over some time. is that correct? mr. kennedy i don't know that it : would get completely used up it depends upon it depends upon the amount of moisture in a particular inflator and the amount of desiccant. many of our later generation inflator's do contain desiccant along with ammonium nitrate. we have not seen this issue with those inflator is in the field. so we know that is a factor that contributes to the life of the inflator. mr. burgess: does takata manufacture any a

the gentleman mr. kelly. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for three minutes. mr. kelly: i thank the gentleman. mr. speaker, in this house we have a duty to legislate based on truth not fiction. we cannot afford to be uneducated, uninformed, or untruthful when it comes to t.p.a. maybe the problem is we labeled it wrong. maybe we should have called it congressional trade authority oversight. maybe that's what we should have called it. there is a great misunderstanding, and i hope it's a misunderstanding, about what this does for us. there is no way america can compete in the global economy without strong trade agreements. when congress sets the parameters, carefully constructs what the agreement has to contain, there is no mystery, there is no bogeyman, there is nobody hiding under the bed, there is nobody hiding in the closet. you don't have to have a secret decoder ring or magic knock at the door to read the items. it's there for to you look at for crying out loud. will y

mr. kelly: i rise in strong support of this. we have a duty to legislate based on truth and not fiction. if you want strong trade agreements then you have to be in a position to negotiate those, because i tell you, my friends, if we're not at the table, we are on the menu. if we are talking about growing jobs and making sure america is secure and worried about having a agreement that doesn't meet the demands of the american people, trade promotion authority is the only thing that gives us the ability to drive strong trade agreements and make sure every single american is taken care of. this t.p.a. does not give president obama any new power, none whatsoever. for those of us who don't trust the president's judgment, then t.p.a. is absolutely necessary. it's not an option. . allows this congress this puts us in the driver's seat. this allows this congress to be in the driver's seat. if you're worried about a strong trade agreement then make sure we give ourselves the power to actually set the parameters of the way a trade agreemen

mr. speaker, i yield back. ms. kelly: thank you congresswoman beatty and your words and your insight as well as our other colleagues that have shared this evening with us tonight. we really really appreciate it and we hope when we come back next year this time we see some improvement and not have to talk about the same things over and over and over. we you know we've heard from back from 1968, some of the same statistics and here we are so many years later still having to talk about the same things. so we hope to see progress toward this economic stability for the african-american family. we've heard from my colleagues some staggering statistics. the story is even more disconcerting for our nation's youth. workers 19 years old and younger are finding it more difficult than ever to find quality after school and summer employment. the unemployment rate for white youth age 16 to 19 stands at 14.5%. again, roughly half that of their black teenage counterparts who have an unemployment rate of 27.5%. over one in four black tee

our own kate kelly joins us when mr. currie is here. thanks for coming back.s is a nonevent with opec? >> it's a nonevent from a market perspective. it's moving from a quote base system to going to capacity. when i look at the event that was probably the most interesting this morning. is indonesia's interest in actual actually joining opec. there's only one reason you could ask why would an importing country want to join the organization that's become a mark the tool, a branding mechanism to be able to track capital. you look at drilling in saudi arabia, core opec is going straight up. if we think about indonesia with the ore ban, their focus was to track capital. i like it use the term, instead of opec. owe pick. organization of petroleum investing companies. >> if the jobs report tells us that the economy continues to improve, globally the numbers continue to improve, especially in europe, how does that factor into your now forecast for where you think oil is going to go? has it changed at all as a result of that in. >> i definitely think we have seen an imp
