mr. kelly's mr. kelly's great american ball park grandfather, what did they say about the irish in oh, they're coming here and thap drink too much. and they're boisterous and catholics and they're uneducated. the only person they believe in is the pope. that's not an exaggeration. he is using exactly the same kind of arguments that were used against his forefathers. about wrong about the irish. wrong about immigrants. >> supporters of the president say they don't see the outrage here and the reason why is they say he's not talking about people trying to come in legally. it's a legal versus illegal distinction. talking about people trying to come illegally. do you see the distinction? >> yeah, i do. and here's the problem with the distinction. >> he says well, oh, golly. if only the congress would do something. we did, we went to the president of the united states. senator lindsey graham and senator durbin went to the president of the united states and said we can take care of temporary protective stat

. >> mr. kelly? >> i yield my time to mr. gallagher. >> the ranking member raises what is a very interesting and contested subject for debate, the constitution obviously sets forth a definitive procedure for the president to make treaties for the consent of the senate but it is not describe how it should be terminated. there has been some legal precedent here both after bush pulled out of the abm treaty in 2002, but also in goldwater v carter, congress channeled -- challenge the constitutionality of jimmy carter's unilateral to determination of the defense treaty, the supreme court never heard the case but the majority of six justice ruled that the case should be dismissed without hearing an argument holding that the issue at hand was essentially a political question and cannot be reviewed at -- by the court. so, it is clearly an area where congress has a voice, and since treaties with foreign nations become a part of u.s. law, congress can repeal or modify them through federal action, notwithstanding the provisions agreed up

mr.chairman, thank you, i yield back. >> mr. kelly. >> just very briefly, i'm in opposition to the amendment. although i agree in concept and theory with what my friend from maryland has said, mr. chairman, i just can't support anymore reporting requirements of d.o .d -- there's plenty going on. here's what i know about reporting requirements from spending 32 years in military. those are downgraded to every level. in mississippi, for example, we have about 50 soldiers or airman going to texas to do this. and whether that 60 days or not, they will be the guys tasked, which has half our force going to operation spartan shield. we have the 184th, which is also deploying this year to kuwait. and so we're going to add to the reporting requirements to do something that should not be done. i just ask that we oppose this and not move forward on this amendment. >> mr. o'roark. >> mr. chairman, i yield my time to mr. brown of maryland. >> mr. chairman, i do agree and i have spoken to a number of d.o.d. officials. we do ask for a lot of reports.

i neeld yooeld back. >> mr. kelly. >> with that objection, it's considered read and the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, it is long past due to remove the prohibition on eligibility for tricare select for service members who serve in military reservice and federal employs. many times, make less than three-fourths of the salary their counterparts make. we make them pay more for health care. wii pay them less and that i can them pay more for health care with higher deductibles because we force them to get federal employee health benefit coverage they must purchase if it's an option. obviously, this affects about 113,000 reserve component members. cbo says it costs $173 in mandatory spending. that's what it costs. we're going take ten times more away from men and women who wear the uniform. it is absolutely something that we cannot do. further, when these technicians who maintain our tanks and aircraft and all those things, when they do this job, when they mobilize and h

truly, it should be a bill of love. >> reporter: according to multiple administration officials, mr. kelly questioned the president's grasp on policy, saying some version of "i'm the one saving the country." adding to the west wing drama, kelly has roiled some of the female staffers by telling aides multiple times that women are more emotional than men, and when it came to dealing with rob porter, the staff secretary who was ousted after allegations of abuse from two ex-wives, which he denies, kelly was consistently protective. >> at the time of the controversy, kelly wondered aloud how much more porter would have to endure before he could have his honor restored, which really surprised many female white house staffers. >> reporter: kelly says stuff you can't believe, said one senior white house official. still the white house is pushing back. three spokespeople say while they concede the president does at times get frustrated with kelly, they say the two men have a good relationship. >> it's the white house chief's job to accept the president's decision and then execute it, and that's a r

yet, i hear from members like mr. kelly who come to the floor talking about we don't know what we're talking about, we don't understand it, we have never been on the floor of a dealership. oh, yes, i have. my husband was in the car business. i know a lot about it. and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. hensarling: mr. speaker, may i inquire how much time i have remaining? thank you, mr. speaker. well, mr. speaker, it is rare but i have found common ground with the ranking member, and the common ground is, i have such outrageous comments on the house floor, as other members of the other side of the aisle come and accuse us of such outrageous defending di. number one, almost half, half of her caucus supported s.j.res. 57 to get rid of this in the last congress. and i hope every single car dealer in america is listening to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who have come down here on the house floor to accuse the

amendment number 363ly mr. kelly directing a briefing on the army's plans for coordinating the family of available countermeasure systems, number 375 requiring a briefing on courses of action for the rapid procurement of assured position navigation and timing systems, amount'd amendment number 389 by myself that authorizes the use of j-star's funding program to maintain the office's functionality which was requested by general pola causeky. >> is this further discussion of this on block package? if not, the question is on package number two. those in favor say aye. >> aye. >> those opposed say no. >> the ayes have it and the amendments are adopted. if there are no further amendments to this portion of the mark the chair recognizes the chairman from ohio mr. turner. >> i move to adopt the subcommittey report on tactical air and land forces. >> questions on the motion of the gentleman from ohio, those in favor say aye. those opposed say no. quorum being present, the ayes have it and the motion is adopted. the committee

the points on joint task forces were covered by mr. kelly. i yield my time to mr. abraham. >> i yelled my time to mr. kell mr. kelly. thank you. i will be very brief. i understand what the guard can and cannot do. we don't need to put of laws that confuse people. i understand the purpose of the amendment, but i'm still opposed because i think it is duplicative with a law that already exist. with that i yield back to mr. russell. i yield back mr. chairman. question is on the amendment. the no's have it. without objection it's considered as read. the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. i have no issues whatsoever with the.the national guard to the southern border. my concerns will always be the readiness of our troops. administrations from both parties over the years have deployed the guard to the border. under the obama administration, june 2010 to september 2011, title 32 status, we deploy the national guard. president george w. bush, from june 2006 to july 2008, we deploy the guard. perhaps in response to those two, i don't know, i wasn't in congress, congre

not one second to you. >> apparently, mr. kelly like that because while stumping ahead of tuesday's primary, he played the victim where else, on fox and friends. i was sitting there and had 30 minutes of democrats talking about how bad automobile people were because they zbrim against no nonwhite buyers. we're more united and people ofof diversity but we come together to make america great again. >> congressman kelly, i didn't know auto dealers were such a sensitive bunch. i would think you were used to having people pass on your oh, so great deals but just because you're able to sell yourselves to the voerts in your district, please don't think you can do the same for president trump and certainly not with a prolike maxine water, we saw it for what it was, oaky doek enabled by this administration designed to undo even the modest corrections of the previous one. like any good car salesman, you can move even a lemon like this white house all you need aa sucker and catch phrase and orange paint job. i have a new model for your car lo

with mr. kelly, the reporting is thorough and i think the reporting is solid. a very convenient story for kelly's enemies inside the white house if you want to get rid of him. trump does not like disloyalty, we know from the rex tillerson affair he does not like being called names and having his intelligence questioned. so this is the kind of thing that if you heard mr. kelly talk about this and say things like this, you want to make sure the story gets out because as with everybody else who sort of goes through the gris mill of the white house comes in squeaky clean and ends up coming out with all sorts of problems, ronny jackson, kelly, rex tillerson, all of them, this is a perfect way to dispose of kelly and i don't think how these two can exist any more especially because the president has been operating really as his own chief-of-staff and trying to manage all of his affairs, which is what he is most comfortable doing. >> this is not the first, you know, john kelly and president trump feuding story or president trump unhappy with john kelly, john kelly unh

mr. kelly: thank you, mr. speaker. this morning i would like to recognize one of my constituents in pennsylvania's third congressional district, mr. william don thomas who will make history this evening when he becomes the oldest university to graduate from butler county community college, also known as bc-3. he began taking college in bc-3 in the fall of 2010. this evening at the age of 80 years he will proudly receive an associate of arts degree in history. furthermore, mr. thomas also represents the most senior graduate in the class of 2018 among other state's four other western institutions within the pennsylvania commission for community college. you got to know something about mr. thomas. he's an air force veteran who honorably served our country as an air man second class with the 17th squadron. i want you to think about something. this man, while serving in france from 1956 to 1959, enrolled in classes, provided by the university of maryland. it was held outside the northern french town where he was stationed a

reacting to this uproar saying, neither chief kelly nor mr. flood actually attended the meetings, but did make brief remarks before the meetings started to relay the president's desire for as much openness as possible under the law. they also conveyed the president's understanding of the need to protect human intelligence services and the importance of communication between the branches of government. after making their brief comments, they departed before the meetings officially started.

the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. kelly, for five minutes. i thank you, mr. speaker. last week was national small business week, the end of the week brought appropriately not just good news but great news. unemployment is now below 4% for the first time in nearly 20 years. 164,000 new jobs were created last month. 24,000 new jobs in manufacturing. 17,000 new jobs in construction. nearly 3.2 million new jobs have been created since the election of november, 2016. we currently have 6.6 million job openings in the united states. this is an all-time high. wages for small business workers increased last month by 3.25%. that's the strongest rate of increase in over two years. all this plus female unemployment is at its lowest level since 2000. black unemployment is at its lowest level ever. hispanic unemployment is at its lowest level ever. consumer confidence is at its highest level since 2004. job market confidence is at its highest level ever. small business confidence is at its highest level ever. because of the tax cuts and jobs act, since february, 90% of ame

mr. kelly has also painted a very positive picture of himself. >> we spoke to a number of administration officials who said that kelly repeatedly questioned the president's grasp on policy and the functions of government and will often say something to the effect of i'm the one here saving the country. >> reporter: kelly, the president's second chief of staff was brought on board last july to bring order to a white house that some viewed as chaotic. >> he will do a spectacular job. i have no doubt. >> reporter: but since then, there have been tensions between the men over management and messaging and staff choices. kelly even joking in march -- >> the last thing i wanted to do was walk away from one of the great -- the secretary of homeland security but i did something wrong and god punished me, i guess. >> kristen welker reporting. rex tillerson was ousted in march after a number of policy disputes but the white house officials also say mr. trump never got over reports back in october that til

and finally to dean logan right is mr. kelly the fifth-largest jurisdiction serving more than 1.5 million registered voters. he was the opposite of the largest cyberelection and the past president of the natiol and cafornia association of election officials. and one thing that makes me proud here is to be deeply involved and to show great leadership and to be incredibly well regarded in the election verification community for those who have been studying and following security issues. and most important thoughtful about the issues that are facing us and the challenges facing us. so what we are talking about today we could go down a rabbit hole with the many different ways we are at-risk and how we are vulnerable to hacking or other manipulations but today was the policymakers can do and what they can do in the future to protect the election system. so i would just like to start with my neighbor candace, just a few brief thoughts to kick us off and give candice hoke a moment to share the thoughts and reactions to this issue of wh

mr. kelly has led that office through the largest cycle of elections in the county's 129- year history. and he's the past president of the national and california associations of elections officials. and one thing that makes me particularly proud to be up here with these three panelists is that they have been deeply involved and shown great leadership and are incredibly well regarded in the election verification community amongst people who have been studying and following election security issues. and they're incredibly well versed but also incredibly well respected. and most importantly for our purposes, incredibly thoughtful about the issues that are facing us and the challenges that are facing us. so what we're going to talk about today are legal and policy solutions to election systems vulnerabilities. so we've heard a little bit about active measures. if we can go down a credible rabbit hole and see at least the end of that hole, i think, in the next hour of this panel about the different

individual who is now chief operating officer of the secret service, but it was the chief of staff mr. kellyho was absolutely insisting that alice be appointed. they knew each other from the military. just a total disaster and is putting much ignored by agents because they understand he doesn't know what he's doing. >> let's talk about the trump resistance. i've never seen anything like what's out there, outside these walls, both culturally and politically. what would happen if the right would've done this for president obama and developed a resistance across the culture, across legal lanes, across the political obstruction. it's just two different worlds that seem to be tolerated in america. a duly elected president. >> if this was done with obama they would all be called racist, and by the way you remember that obama spent 20 years listening to reverend wright and having him as the person who officiated and his mentor. can you imagine if donald trump went to one service like that did not walk out immediately, he would be toast in the media. so a lot of it does have to do with the media and

. >> the gentleman, mr. kelly that i am more offended as an african american woman than you will ever be. and this business about making america great again, it's your president that's dividing this country. and don't talk to me about the fact that we don't understand -- [ all speak at once ] >> i will not yield. >> reminded to direct her remarks to the chair. >> and i'm saying, i will continue to do that. however, i don't appreciate that you did not interrupt him when he was making those outrageous remarks. having said that, i reserve the balance of my time. and no, i do not yield, not one second to you. not one second. not one second to you. >> not one second. the debate was over an obama era anti-discrimination rule. congressman waters making it very clear she's not yielding. get it for jean who's always cold. for the sales team, it and the warehouse crew. give us the data we need. in one place, anywhere we need it. help us do our jobs better. with domo we can run this place together. well that's that's your jo

mr. kelly, the former president, while he was uesf president stated and i'm going to put a quote, par has a bad reputation. that's where you put a teacher when you want that teacher dead. during the recent fraudulent skelly hearing, the representative stated on audio recording that par was being used as a weapon. with that said, it seems that both uesf and sfusd have an obligation to look into par. on december 26th, 2017, the school board and dr. matthews and members of uesf rereceived a whistleblower letter and attached was a spreadsheet that had been provided to me and had been provided by, i believe, labor relations, and it had the participants in par for the last 7 years. she attached a mathematically sound argument to prove that the par program is operating in a discriminatory manner and targeting specific groups of people. i personally have asked both sfusd and uesf to answer the allegations and both have refused. the uesf president stated they don't know how the data is gathered, stored,

mr. trump's chief economic adviser gary cohn warned the chief of staff john kelly that he might resign."annon even threatened at one point to quit." quote, "former secretary of state rex tillerson before he was fired by tweet was on the verge of resigning last july." fbi director christopher wray reportedly threatened to resign if andrew mccabe was removed from his job as deputy director of the fbi. attorney general jeff sessions offered to resign when the president expressed his rage over sessions's recusal on the russia investigation. and chief of staff john kelly has reportedly threatened to quit so many times that it's becoming his thing. getting chewed out at work to the point of threatening to quit is becoming just another regular day at the office for this administration. a small number go through with it, like gary cohn. a larger number get pushed out. and there are a few on the list whose fates are still up in the air. hello, jeff sessions. the latest to join the club has a secret weapon, and that's next. kyle: mom! mom! kyle, we talked about this. there's no monsters. but you s

the details are a little sketchy on what exactly mr. kelly from banking for life and how that qualified him to run the superfund program in the epa, but now, he, too, has resigned from the trump administration, so, we can put him on the wall. the fifth new name is also scott pruitt epa guy, the chief of security at scott pruitt's epa, mr. nino perrotta. he was the driving force behind the epa's massive security expenditures under pruitt, including the soundproof booth -- soundproof booth he put in his office that is definitely not a skiff, even though he told congress it was. nino perrotta was supposed to testify about that today on to house members of the oversight committee. we're told he did show up for that testimony. but 24 hours before he showed up for the testimony, he unexpectedly retired, which isn't sketchy at all. and that brings us to the big fish. today, the trump administration also lost ty cobb, the white house-employed lawyer, not a private lawyer working for the president, but a lawyer working for the white house, so, we've b

and mr. kelly by all accounts had taken a serious role, a policy-oriented role at the department is under scrutiny for some of his financial dealings back in oklahoma. >> as we said initlly, scott ruitt is under 11 different investigations, and manyw dered why he is still in this job, but obviously the predent still has full faith in him. many pointed out this is pbably because he has b so tenacious in undoing president obama's environmental regulations. one has beenowering, apparently, the fuel emissions standards for automobiles. this was a big part of thebama legacy and something that scott pruitt has been rolling back on. this week california and 16th o states said they are going to file suit to try to block the e.p.a. from lowering the national standards. from an automaker perspective, if you are looking and wondering at california and some states anand e.p.a. arguing something e blse, it has tough on the industry. >> yes, a few yars we're talking about model 2022 which goes on salen 2021, so

our colleagues also report on other comments attributed to mr. kelly, the chief of staff, that he, quote, told aides multiple times that women are more emotional than men, including at least once in front of the president, four current and former officials said. and during the fallout over domestic abuse allegations against that former white house staff secretary rob porter, kelly, quote, wondered aloud how much more porter would have to endure before his honor could be restored according to three officials who were present for the comments. he also questioned why porter's ex-wives wouldn't just move on, the officials said. tonight kelly issued this response to this nbc news report, and we quote. i spend more time with the president than anyone else, and we have an incredibly candid and strong relationship. he always knows where i stand, and he and i both know this story is total b.s. i am committed to the president, his agenda, and our country. this is another pathetic attempt to smear people close to president trump and distract from the administrati

materials that's why the j p c away is so good that it stops them from using metal rods they have mr kelly i'm assuming here that given your pos job you have routed around through emails communications you know people like the iranians the israelis the americans keep their records so given that we did israel maybe get this information from. i think one of the places they may have gotten when you see the fifty thousand number it's very reminiscent of when we have fifty thousand telegrams from iraq to suppliers of equipment in europe in the one nine hundred eighty s. i know that that same information exists in the rand we've seen hints of the in other analyses i would be expecting that an awful lot of what netanyahu says he has are english language telegrams to suppliers in the western world and those telegrams are intercepted two decades ago ok it's decision day on may the twelfth for donald trump on the trumpet ministration views of the iran nuclear deal do you think he'll use this to blend it into walking away from the deal or not i think it the case has been made very well now that the j

mr. kelly is a military man. he did come in and he gave discipline. a lot of people in there don't like to be told what to do, including the president. that is why you have the situation. >> dana: let me ask you, chuck, about another story. caught my eye. so much news is breaking and a lot of things get washed over. yesterday there was a report, sarah carter reported it and cnn as well that apparently the doctor -- the position for vice president pence was one of the people that had raised concerns about ronny jackson becoming the veterans affairs secretary. veterans administration secretary. to me, that would signal some pretty interesting battles internally on 18 acres there at the white house. because if the vice president's office was somehow, you know, knowing that that was happening and john tester the senator from montana going out and talking about it and then the president is calling for him to resign, for tester to re-sign. it -- tester to resign. it's something going on every day. >> as a democrat i sit back and watch and eat my popcorns. i

mr. kelly has also painted a positive picture of himself. >> we spoke to a number of administration officials who said that kelly repeatedly questions the president's grasp on policy issues and functions of government and will often say something to the effect of i'm the one here saving the country. >> reporter: kelly, the president's second chief of staff was brought on board last july to bring order to a white house that some viewed as chaotic. >> he will do a spectacular job. i have no doubt. >> reporter: but since then, there have been tensions between the men over management, messaging, and staff choices. kelly even joking in march. >> the last thing i wanted to do was walk away from one of the great honors of my life being department of homeland security. but i did something wrong and god punished me. i don't know. >> reporter: now, for more context here, president trump never got over october reports that his former secretary of state rex tillerson called him a moron behind his back. he

. >> mr. kelly, you are recognized. >> thank you for being here today. i had a coach in high school with her last name, we just called him rosie. thank you for being here. when we look at the size and scope of a program and the number of beneficiaries, is there anybody in the private sector that comes close to facing these types of problems as far as making sure we are sending the right money to the right people, with so much fraud in the system, is there any approach that would make sense? first of all, we need to protect our records and our focus on the social security number has been collecting wage information and paying benefits. anti-fraudobust process, we review claims at of times, we flag high risk claims. comparing them to the private sector, we have to make sure that our beneficiaries are protected and their data is protected. it seems to be the nature of the things -- the way we do things today. we have a safe that we cannot lock. someone is finding a way into this data and we keep thinking this is just the way we do things. we will just have

and start talking about the nation and coming together as a people in spite of what you say. >> mr. kellyse do not leave. because i want you to know that i am more offended as an african-american woman than you will ever be, and this business about making america great again, it is your president that's dividing this country and don't talk to me about the fact that we don't understand what happened on the-- >> gentle woman yield? >> no, i will not yield. don't tell me that we don't understand, that's the attitude given towards women time and time again, don't you dare talk to me like that and think somehow women don't understand what goes on on the floor of automobile dealers. i don't appreciate that you did not interrupt him when he was making those outrageous remarks about him knowing more about discrimination than i know about discrimination. i resent that and resent the remark about making america great again, and making that from the president of the united states of america. >> does the gentle lady yield. >> no, not one second. not one second to you. neil: all right, they broke, for

. >> mr. kelly, please do not leave.n woman than you will ever be. and this business about making america great again, it is your president that's dividing this country. i resent the remark about making america great again. he is down here making a speech for this dishonorable president of the united states of america. having said that i reserve the balance of my time and no, i do not yield, not one second to you. not one second. not one second to you. ed: you are not supposed to address each other on the house floor. supposed to address the chair. one of the reasons why the decorum fell apart. >> maxine waters has repeatedly basically from day one given these speeches saying waving the finger and say impeach 45. impeach 45. impeach for what? starting with the premise of impeachment before the president really got going the other premise is if you are wearing that make america great again hat you are wearing it because you are racist. that's what she is saying when mike kelly says make america great again. support you ar

i yield to my good friend, mike kelly, such time as he may consume. mr. tell sli a member of congress from pennsylvania, he serves with distinction on the committee on ways and means, and is a former member of the ity council. mr. kelly: i thank the gentleman who's been a long standing, committed champion or life. the proposed rule does not cut funds from the title 10 family planning program. instead, the funds are directed to community health centers like primary health network in sharon, pennsylvania. country wide, there are 20 times more community health centers than planned parenthoods. in fact, there are absolutely no planned parenthood offices in my district. t there are 37 federally funded health centers. planned parenthood receives $56 million in taxpayer dollars. hrough title 10. today, we again grieve at the i s of innocent life and just would ask people to look at the loss of innocent life we see every day in the united states. there are approximately 3,000 abortions performed daily in the united states. and so as we grieve so much for the loss

times" and robert costa at the "washington post" and also talked to our friend and colleague kelly o'donnell. mr. giuliani shared this information that he shared with michael schmit to nbc news. what's interesting here is this note from kelly. mr. giuliani frames this as saying he doesn't think it's unrealistic for the special counsel to wrap this up by september 1st. doesn't want to get into what he calls comey territory, meaning that it would happen -- this investigation would wrap up one or two months right before the election. he says that would be unfair and that would be unfair to both sides. what's particularly striking to me the thought that an investigation of this scale of the scope could be wrapped up in a year and four months. given that the benghazi probe took two and a half years to come to a conclusion and ken starr probe took at least four years but mr. giuliani is saying based on his conversations with special counsel, he thinks it's within the rel p of possibility to have this end on september 1st. another thing that's reporting is that rudy giuliani is pretty transparent about

mr. kelly: in my district the small business administration has made tremendous and direct impact with the 7-a loan program by helping small businesses not able to find or obtain capital through traditional or conventional markets. to acquire 7-a loans, must determine a small business cannot receive credit elsewhere. in practice this is called the credit elsewhere test. the test became the focus of my subcommittee hearing in march of 2017 when the the committee reviewed the 7-a loan program. as conservatives we must safeguard american taxpayer dollars, a government guarantee program needs strong oversight to make sure adequate safeguards are in place. that is why 7-a oversight must begin with a credit elsewhere test. this is exactly what h.r. 4743 proposes. it strengthens the credit elsewhere test and provides transparency to factors most commoonly used by lenders as they move small businesses through the 7-a loan process. additionally, h.r. 4743 increases the oversight capabilities of the offi

. >> thank you, mr. kelly and thank you, u.s. news, for this annual gift to the s.t.e.m. universe. i may burn 15 seconds of my precious time here to ask a poll of you. how many of you have been to previous u.s. news s.t.e.m. solutions conferences? quite a few. so we're all habituated. i'm not sure they ever get enough appreciation for the enormous impetus they provide to s.t.e.m. education every year. three more seconds of applause to the u.s. news, brian kelly, and the team, thank you all. [ applause ] and it's obvious from this afternoon's talks as well as over the last couple of days a significant number of u.s. states, regions, schools, industries, global companies launching s.t.e.m. education programming to prime the pump for post secondary talent to fill the high demand careers that have emerged across the country, so this is a great thing to be a part of. the white house office of science and technology policy is committed to leading in s.t.e.m. education as well. we intend to be focused on research-based stakeholder contributed administrations goals aligned in ter

. >> so you're saying as a deputy chief, as a deputy working under mr. kelly in the white house that you were not aware of allegations of domestic abuse by mr. porter? >> i was the deputy chief of policy and so i did not review for access clearance request records or adjudications. that was not part of my job. >> okay. so "the new york times" reporting is inaccurate about this, that you as a deputy chief of staff in november when the fbi had a detailed report that was submitted to the white house, you're saying you did not see it and were not aware of it. >> i did not see any fbi report, no, i did not. >> okay. >> so you didn't take any action at all recording his security clearance? >> i would not have. it wasn't in my job description. >> what is your -- what is the policy at homeland security now on interim security clearances? >> so we look at that very carefully. we restrict access when somebody has an interim. there's more particular circumstances in which someone might be granted but mostly it takes a long time as you know to go through the adjudication
