i want to just say starting this off, mr. lee, i'm a big believer in the ultimate responsibility of leaders and mr. rich isn't here. so anything i say here should be taken as observations about the organization as a whole. you've come to the chair today and in fairness to you, i don't want to you the personal brunt of this except to say it does appear that aig also -- there was a race to the weakest here. aig did decide to pick its regulator based on what met its needs and not larger public interest which makes sense from their perspective. i just want to put things in the record so that for the benefit of the public, which is starting off with the appropriateness of ots as a regulator, mr. rich who is not with us today in the interview with our staff said, we as an agency were like a fly on an elephant. he said we did not have the capability to supervise a company like aig. it was not reasonable to expect a small agency like ots to supervise a complex agency like aig. he does observe when the federal government had to bailout, m

mr. lee: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. lee: i rise in strong support of h.r. 4684, the national september 11 memorial and museum commemorative medal act. no one cannot forget the morning as the tragedy unfolded, many of us wondered what it meant for the future. the attacks of september 11 occurred during a time of relative tranquility for this nation. the country had entered a new decade, excited about the opportunities that lay ahead of the new century and confident it would realize the potential of its people. 9/11 shook that confidence, the downplays and the burning buildings and the shattered lives and families showed us just how vulnerable we truly were. at that moment the paths of prosperity and progress of safety and liberty that our nation had so surely followed seemed in jeopardy. but more telling than that day was not how vulnerable we felt when the terrorists struck but more so how res. l

good morning, mr. lee. >> i know that we have spoken a couple of times about this. i wanted to say that this was a complicated matter. in our own office we struggled with maintaining accreditation. as you had indicated earlier with the deputy, our original intent in last year's easter bond was to attempt to locate a facility that would be appropriate and earthquake safe for both laboratories over a period of time. we would then look at this energy that they would make, working directly on the civilian side of the crime lab. as we decided to remove that from of all, we have not had further discussions. i wanted to let you know that the initial part of this, we understand that the crime lab to the police department has, a number of divisions. drug, evidence, dna, a fingerprint division, ballistics division, property room. all of those different divisions that the investigators have to do, which is why for the last couple weeks this has been such a difficult objective for us to understand in terms of local details, as it is not just putting these board tories together.

good morning, mr. lee. >> i know that we have spoken a couple of times about this. i wanted to say that this was a complicated matter.

you will see the so this is a memo i already signed so i think people just speaking wrong things ok mr lee. you. have been pleased by vitale's performers as far as i know you have been pleased so far what what makes you believe and i have also read that in the internet you can find anything and yeah i think that that you called the tele the best ruki in reno's package is that true it's totally true you just just just have to comes in and out of point he's got to really. the fact is already a mark for one with a lot of talent on that of action on track and some very good performance on a very put and just sort of somebody with potential. literally this is your rookie season in formula one what makes formula one so different from the previous races that you took part in postal how the team was working i think it will also went on for a while he was really surprised how the team is working and what is very interesting i thought you would start you would start saying about the car that here is different and you saw it by the team that did that so the main the main difference for you is not how

we will start with you, mr. lee. obviously, if someone else is willing to respond to go what you are saying -- obviously, if someone else is willing to respond -- >> there were other characteristics that made it more risky than the loan. they had to produce cash. aig would have been the borrower in this case. they would have to put up the money on first sign of weakness. you have a situation where you have a product with inherent weaknesses that this allowed to exist in a structure without any sort of transparency as to what the witnesses or. i think the lesson learned from this is that credit default swaps carry with them risks that outpaced what we can measure in the credit characteristics of the ensured product. it is those issues that we have to address going forward. >> let me follow this up before i give mr. gensler an opportunity to speak. you are perfectly right. a lot of the properties of this credit default swap were not understood by the people to work with them. we heard testimony that some of the senior

mr. lee: i yield myself the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for 30 seconds. ms. lee: we need to ask, when is enough, enough. how many of our brave men and women must be sacrificed to this never-ending war? how much blood, how much treasure do we have to spend in afghanistan? and do we need another 10 years to figure it out? i suggest we don't. it's time to change course, it's time for congress assert itself in our responsibilities, in our role we control the purse strings and enough is enough. we need to say today that we must begin to safely withdraw our young men and women from afghanistan. no more funds for combat operations. the speaker pro tempore: all time for debate from the gentlewoman from california, ms. lee, and her opponent have expired. pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. mcgovern, or his designee, and an opponent each will control 15 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. mcgovern. mr. mcgovern: i rise in strong support of t

caller: mr. lee, in your travels, one question -- the united states is known for writing checks to many of these governments. did you get any indication of the amount of money they are spending on these countries or what this cost us on this trip? guest: on this particular trip, this conference was not itself a donor's conference or a conference were countries pledge money. so on this trip, there were not any checks being exchanged. it is billions of dollars that have gone into this effort and billions more will continue to go into it. host: massachusetts. james, democrats line. caller: good morning. i have a question for you. just recently in the news, there was a report that some people, ven in south korea, a dotidoubg that the vessel was sunk by the north koreans. do you have any information on that? guest: i am aware that there are a lot of people that have raised some doubt about the conclusions of the investigation, but this investigation it was a very thorough, conducted by experts from a numb

mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas rise? >> address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. jackson lee: mr. speaker, i want to congratulate the naacp which is holding their 101st convention or celebrating 101 years, a century of service. i also want to affirm their first amendment rights to make statements on the policies of groups who advocate for causes that sometimes are colored in race. the naacp is a fighter for justice of all people and i was glad to be speaking about issues dealing with the environment, civil justice and the economy. it is also important to note, mr. speaker, that corporations are now showing one of the best quarterly returns that they've ever had. businesses create jobs. and we are creating an economic opportunity to do so. but all the economists are saying they are sitting on their money and the house will be in order.ing their money. we have to stand up as america and work together to create jobs just as this government has provided stimulus dollars to create thousands and thousands of jobs. work together, not divide, that's how well's move this economy forwa

jackson lee: mr. cardoza, i thank you for sharing with us what is not a funny anecdotal story or cartoon. i think from your words you are saying to the american people that their predicament is not a cartoon. and it is interesting when one of my colleagues comes to the floor of the house and poses the question -- what do we say to the unemployed mother or what do we say to the person who is trying to manage themselves and pay their mortgage? or what do you say to the caller that calls in, i believe from florida, this morning on c-span and said he's laid off from a furniture store that closed and he is looking for work? and if i might paraphrase him. he said something about getting off our rears here in congress and helping him. why are we blocking his unemployment insurance? . i can quote a lot of statistics and somebody said something about a number of individuals who are unemployed, there are double-digit communities, 13%, 15%, 16%, high numbers in our youth, in their 20's, recent college graduates.

jackson lee: mr.speaker, it's a pleasure to be with you this morning and i thank you for your leadership this evening as we discuss with our colleagues a very important crisis that is now approaching that i hope our message tonight really provides the stop gap, the finger in the dike, if you will, that is about to overrun itself and that is the numbers of americans who are crying out to this congress to do the right thing. i thank the gentlelady from ohio for her persistent leadership and her timeliness, because this is a very, very important need that needs action and it needs action now. and i guess i would like to add to this definition of what unemployment benefits are and what it means to extends them and the numbers of -- extends them and the numbers of -- extends them and the number of americans who are waiting for those benefits to be extended and the extension is simply adding to the 26 weeks that are now expiring and you mentioned that it was not a gift and i'd like to suggest something even

jackson lee: mr. speaker, it is simply the morally right thing to do. as i listened to the battering and chattering and the constant obstructionist policies of my friends, republicans and this body and the other body, i am amazed there is no moral compass that say that millions of americans, those who have worked, are simply asking that they be able to survive. this is not a handout. this is a trust. a contract that when you work you invest in unemployment insurance to a certain extent, first given by the state and now because of states that run out of money this government, their government is extending those dollars and we know that it's the right thing to do because those people on the other side of the aisle have allowed this obstructionist to go forward, but they couldn't fight it anymore. they couldn't fight 62% of the american public. who says this is the right thing to do. they couldn't fight the congressional budget office who said this is the most cost-effective and fast acting infusion of dollars to help people pay their mortgage and food and

mr. brown demeaning caricatures, racial stereotypes. spike leed, and i quote, "i think there's a lot of stuff out today that is coonery and buffoonery. i see ads for 'meet the browns' and 'house of payne,' and i'm scratching my head. we've got a black president, and we're going back. the image is troubling, and it harkens back to 'amos 'n' andy.'" he's talking about you. >> perry: i would love to read that to my fan base. let me tell you what madea, brown, all these characters are are bait; disarming, charming, make-you-laugh bait. so i can slap madea in something and talk about god, love, faith, forgiveness, family, any of those things, you know. so, yes, i... i think... you know, that pisses me off, it really does, because it... >> pitts: i can tell. >> perry: yeah. it's so insulting. it's attitudes like that that make hollywood think that these people do not exist. and that's why there's no material speaking to them, speaking to us. >> the rbc canadian open from toronto, sweden's carl peterson overcame a four-stroke deficit with a final-round

jackson lee: mr. speaker, the supplemental that this leadership passed was to create jobs and i hope that the bill that comes from the senate will embrace the need for american jobs. in ohio the home of our minority leader there is a 10.5% unemployment. can anyone explain to me why the republicans continue to obstruct the extension of unemployment benefits? benefits that will benefit those who work but who have worked and who need to pay their mortgages and provide food on the table. again we have another story. here is the story of privatizing social security or extending the age. i remember the fight. i was here on the floor of the house when seniors were calling our phone lines and saying, don't privatize social security. thank goodness for the wisdom of our seniors if we had privatized social security, they would have collapsed in this abysmal disgrace of wall street. no money. but social security has been paying on a faithful basis for now for decades. we know that 72% of the american public don'

mr. speaker, i yield two minutes to the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized for two minutes. ms. jackson lee: i thank the speaker very much and i hope that we will have an opportunity to do something we have not been able to do and that is to debate the afghan war and the direction that this war is taking and the impact on our men and women on the front lines. i particularly want to say to the families how much we appreciate the sacrifice that you've made as these men and women stand on the front lines of afghanistan. but i think we're long overdue for a major debate that has to do with that direction. i support this underlying rule for the purpose of allowing us to have this debate, but also that it provides on the domestic spending crucial issues, pell grants will be provided for, border security that impacts the northern and southern border so that we can stand as we do comprehensive immigration reform and ensure the american people that we will secure our borders. in the most catastrophic o

mr. conyers, sheila jackson lee, maxine waters, charlie rangel and mel watt. on pass of the organizations and members of congress who support s. 1789, i urge my colleagues to support the legislation and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from texas. mr. smith: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. smith: mr. speaker, those who fail to learn the lessons of history often pay a price. unfortunately, the real cost usually falls on others. in the 1980's america faced an epidemic created by a new potent form of cocaine known as crack. its abuse spread through major cities and across the country at a stunning speed. along with crack came guns and violence which riddled many urban communities. these communities cried out for help, and in 1986 congress responded. we enacted tough penalties to protect these neighborhoods and bring an end to the scourge of crack cocaine. and the penalties helped make america's communities safer. now, c

lee: thank you very much, thank you, mr. speaker, and let me thank the gentleman for yielding, for his steady and undying support for people who really have had -- who have had a very tough time and have not had any opportunities for many years now. thank you, mr. mcdermott, for your leadership. you know, we too are saying and i'm listening to the debate here about jobs, we're saying, where are the jobs? and from what i remember, mr. speaker, there are very few republican votes for the many job creation bills which democrats have passed. so if you're not going to support a real jobs initiative, i can't understand for the life of me why in the world won't you support just the basics for people, just the bit of help for those who have no jobs and for those who you won't help get a job? support for unemployment compensation speaks really to who we are as a country. this is a moral and an ethical issue that those who really care about the least of these should support. people have lost their jobs for a variety of reasons. primar

mr. obey: i yield two minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from california, ms. lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for two minutes. ms. lee: i thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership. madam speaker, less than a month ago, congress finally began the debate on the war in afghanistan that should have been held nine years ago. while evidence continues to mount that our military engagement in afghanistan has become a quagmire of corruption and ill defined objectives, the bill under consideration will provide, if you can believe this, another $37 billion for the wars in afghanistan and iraq that have already cost this nation more than $1 trillion. congress cannot continue to write a blank check for the war in afghanistan that's made our country less safe. our brave men and women in uniform have been put in an impossible situation in afghanistan where there is no military solution. it is time to provide funding for only the safe and orderly withdrawal. no more funding for combat operations. it's a shame and disgrace that we cannot sup

mr. bonner: it was 50 years ago this month when nell harper lee of monroeville penned what is today considered one of the most beloved american stories of all time. before i speak further about ms. lee and her masterpiece, however, i'd like to take a minute to thank chairman towns and ranking member issa of the oversight and government reform committee and their staffs for working with my staff and me to get this resolution brought to the house floor before congress breakers in august district work period. if approved, i hope to present a copy of this resolution to the people of monroe county when i return home later this week. i would also like to thank the speaker of the house, the majority leader, and the minority -- and the majority whip, mr. hoyer, mr. clyburn, as well as the minority leader, mr. boehner and minority whip, mr. cantor, not to mention all the other members of congress who have co-sponsored this resolution for their encouragement and support in finding an appropriate way to honor ms. lee. her family, as well as the wonderful people of monroeville, alabama, a town of approxim

mr. speaker. at this time i recognize the gentlelady from texas, ms. jackson lee, for three minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized. ms. jackson lee: i thank the distinguished manager and i really applaud congressman kucinich for allowing us to come to the floor today and discuss a crucial aspect of america's foreign policy. frankly, i believe it is time for us to come home from afghanistan having just returned just over two weeks ago in the early part of july when i was able to see the enormity of corruption and the lack of standing up by the afghan government. but i saw the resilience of the united states military and the willingness of the people in afghanistan to be able to desire a better quality of life. i think that we are now poised to build the afghan national security forces and to remove our forces from the dangers of the taliban neighbors who live in afghanistan who are not leaving who have a difference of opinion. in the instance of pakistan, i think it is key that we recognize that there are some troubling circumstances. and, yes, we d

lee. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. this has been enormously instructive on what are our steps going forward. some of the most descriptive and disturbing stories about the treatment of the disabled in a variety of ways. i think it is important to remind ourselves everyday that justice anywhere it is -- that in justice anywhere is injustice everywhere. i would hope that you'll continue to build the story. that is how legislation is passed. i do agree on the social security income threshold. i think what you're saying is that it is so that people can become independent. and let people do not know that, if he were to lose the ssi or social security, you also lose access to services. it is not just income. people want to be independent. i think that is when to be particularly strong with respect to lt. colonel gregory's constituents. but oppose this question to go down memory lane for a second. you mentioned your sister. could you give us a sense of what it would have been for tara if we had had the ada in place and whether

mr. murphy: thank you very much, ms. wasserman schultz, representative tonko, representative jackson lee. everybody should look at the chart next to representative tonko. it's not a coincidence that from month to month to month in the last year of the bush administration we lost more and more and more jobs. and then immediately upon the new president, president obama, taking office we started to lose less and less and less jobs to the point where we are adding jobs to the economy. it's because the stimulus has worked, it is because it is infusing new money into the economy, it is because tax rates are the lowest in this country since 1950. people have more money to spend than ever before. it's because we put money in the hands of teachers and firefighters and police officers and renewable energy companies and solar companies and advanced battery technologies companies, the leading edge of our economy is creating jobs. it's because manufacturing is coming back. in june, 9,000 new manufacturing jobs in this economy. since december, 136,000 new manufacturing jobs. the economy is heading in t

mr. steele , thank you for riegger. i would like knowledge that people from the congressional black caucus, and barbara lee here today. john lewis has been called the conscience of the congress, and to date -- and today the challenge is that this injustice has been partially corrected by giving the recognition that we do. it is -- also like to recognize at least two leaders from the african-american community. the clerk of the house [applause] and terry is the ceo of the capital visitors center. thank you, terry. and i do not know where lorraine is. still working. making sure everything is every -- going ok. over the past decade, the slave labor task force work to document the history of slavery constructed walls of the united states capitol. we know that and the contribution of the reid family. it was a dark chapter in our past, and with equality denied, rights reviews, a dream not yet realize, they gave us this house of liberty and the beacon of hope for our nation and indeed the world. history books up until now had not reported their story or the pivotal role that they played in erecting the capital. the tale will

the charges against lee farkas, that case was initiated in connection with an application for t.a.r.p. funds and colonial bank which was affiliated with mrfarkas and received conditional approval from treasury for $553 million in taxpayer funds and through the hard work of sigtarp agents and our law-enforcement law enforcement agent of sure that money didn't go out the door, thathat money didn't get poured into the abyss of fraud that was colonial bank and as a result we have assured this agency sigtarp will have paid for itself over the course of its life by those savings along. as the ranking member noted in ouquarterly report we provided an update on what we had done last summer at the request of the chairman the last time i testified before the committee of the 50 or so programs in addition to t.a.r.p. that address the scope of the financial crisis, e government's sponse and financial markets. in our report we summarize each of those 50 programs and we provided numbers, three key numbers for each one. the total or maximum amounts pledged are committed by the federal government, by the agency either explicitly or implicitly for each o
