mr. lee. mr.. henry that is merely hearsay. i cannot ask for a french and liberty as any man in this, and indeed you are. and as little disposed to submit, but national stability and filial respect demands that we do nothing hastily. i offer no provocations. i speak as a plan indeed for the farmers of charles city county, and i deplore steps that would stop the production of tobacco and corn and reduce the people of virginia to starvation starvation. indeed, sir. and about the brave people of boston, i represent charles smitty, not boston. mr. president. sir, virginia is bound by both honor and self-interest to share one faith with our sister here. i recognize. i know one be just the part of it only the king. and i the colonies are tied to through their ties to the crown. virginia is a self governing domain in within the british empire. the gentleman virginia should be prepared and i consider acts of parliament limiting our westward growth, attempting to tax our without their consent, closing the port of boston. indeed of the i

mr. lee: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. lee: mr. president, in closing this discussion, i want to respond to a couple of points made by my friend and colleague, the distinguished senator from vermont. senator leahy is someone i really enjoyed working with throughout my 12 years in the senate, and i will miss him when he's gone. i respectfully but very strongly disagree with his decision to object to this commonsense approach toward avoiding a government shutdown, and i want to make clear just a few things. number one, this continuing resolution is not precollusive of anything else -- preclusive of anything else he may want to do. it provides a safety net so that congress doesn't produce a government shutdown. just as importantly, so that members don't feel coerced into this dual threat having to navigate between a shutdown and people having to cancel holiday plans with their families. that's what we're trying to avoid. it's a false choice to say that this doesn't allow for anything else. that's just not true. i disagree with him abo

mr. lee: i ask unanimous consent that i, senator klobuchar, senator cotton and senator paul be permed to complete -- permitted to complete the remarks prior to the scheduled role call vote. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. lee: mr. president, i rise in strong support of h.r. 3843. this bipartisan package of commonsense an try tus reforms would bring a whole lot of much-needed improvements to the administration of our federal antitrust laws. first, it would update our merger filing feels to reduce the financial burden on the vast majority of filers. second, it would implement the state antitrust enforcement venue act to allow state attorneys general the same, so their enforcement actions can't be transferred out of their state to more defendant-friendly jurisdictions. third, this would require companies that submit premerger filings with the ftc and department of justice to notify the agencies of any subsidies or support that they receive from foreign countries of concern, such as

mr. town lee. it's a long-standing tradition that goes back many years. the metaphor of a compass, in this case. this campus has plans to be emblazoned with vice admiral james bee stockdale center about tickle leader and the united states naval academy. but the point of this metaphor is, when it comes to character, there's many ways to describe this. it's what you do when i was looking, you hear that oftentimes. you oftentimes hear we use this metaphor of a moral compass, that we are somehow all imbued, internally, with a north seeking arrow. a device is going to point is in the right direction. now, while that we might all be imbued with it, we need to be reminded as to what the actual right action is. when someone comes to the table communicating in the way that you do, it reminds us what right. is on behalf of the superintendent, all the members of the stockdale center in the naval academy, please now, for those retired marines, the tap code is actually unlocked on a website, among many other things. if you'll grab your program, there's a program at ea

mrs. lee's rose garden and then that's when you have them closer, closer to the. you're welcome. and then related to this, this is a private letter from william christman to his mother. usually we do not have private letters like this. so this was submitted by his mom, part of a pension claim. so if you if you're if a soldier died and they weren't married often casey's mothers would submit letters. because if you could prove that your son was somehow financially supporting you while they were in the army and they passed away, then you were eligible for a pension. so we have a number of letters where it has no typical letter from a soldier and then at some point says enclosed is an x amount of of of money. and so this is from a camp in philadelphia. this is about a week after he a week and a half after he enlisted. it's a very typical soldier letter. you know. hi, mom. i'm doing well. don't worry about me. he's got some special instructions for his dad. and then she's like i said, she's submitted this to the government as part of a pension claim. so that's why we have it as it was

mr. lee: madam president. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. ee: madam president, this act, this bill before us is an act of legislative barbarism. this is an act of extortion. being leveraged on the united states senate right before christmas. make no mistake why this happens. this bill, in all 4,155 pages of its glory or infamy, was negotiated in secret by a four- or five -- by four or five members of congress, excluding all oh, which means that nearly 330 million americans were disenfranchised in the production of this legislative behemoth. they wrote it utterly in secrete design of creating an artificial emergency, threatening a shutdown right before christmas. in fact, they set up government funding to expire the day before christmas eve, realizing that that is when members are at our point of vulnerability, members of both houses and both political parties want to get home, understandably, to spend the holidays with their families. it's also the moment they realize our constituents are most vulnerable, most fearful of a government shutdown

oh that i know well, bram is good now why mr. guy lee knew die. she grandma had the gama high though. no. i don't like i said, look, wish either in most of the iraq, 3 years after the end of the war, against missile and the liberation of the town. these children are everywhere, sons and daughters of iso members or former child soldiers. these are the people, the armed group has left in its wake, the most vulnerable miss. yeah. me out. well, well i, i shout rochelle, i live in a manner, but i'll do, i shall my die money that i sort of, we are a massive shania share. so well, hold on my cell phone 8. what is to become at this generation who have grown up under iso? how will they be able to reconstruct their lives in this war scar country? will iraqi society even give them a from 2014 to 2017. i still held a territory as large as the united kingdom straddling iraq and syria, and administered the lives of several 1000000 people. mosul, the 2nd largest city and iraq was one of the 2 capitals of the armed group. this is where the restoration of the so c

jackson lee: would you say the visor were mutilated? mr. guerrero: yes. rep. jackson lee: someone had a pistol with that equal with this weapon did to those bodies? mr. guerrero: no. rep. jackson lee: did you russian as a first responder to try to save lives? mr. guerrero: no, i was called in to help in the aftermath because like i said there was no one being brought to the hospital that was savable when i got there. i just happen to see these kids in the back that were already deceased. the kids whose survived had shrapnel injuries that were tolerable that they could get past, but the kids that were directly shot were dead. rep. jackson lee: nicole, what are the fears that you have even today? you are a high school senior is that correct? what are the fears that you have today? what do you live with. >> when i was younger i dealt with bad anxiety. i was not able to sleep very well for many years leading up until almost middle school. i think to this day, the parallels between sandy hook and uvalde is a big eye-opener to america that we really have not done any

. >> mr. lee lacour, i think i'm struggling in the same way that some others have about narrowing down exactt your argument is. i disagree with you and agree with justinkagan's acterization of the intent points. our president, and the statue itself says you don't have to show dirinatory intent, so put that aside. i had understood your argument, your primary argument, to be mu narrower, and i want to make sure now m understanding , cause now i'm questioning exactly what you' gng. i understood you to be saying that the first gingles factor requiring reasonably configured map that showed more majority minority districts, that that had to be race neutral. bu it was not reasonably configured if it wasn't, and our president have never left thquestion open, they have never saidone way or another whether you could use race as prerequisite. here, there was testimony below that itwas impossible to get to the two majority minority districts if he didn't take race into account. plaintiffs expert, saying you c

so i'm going to start with you first, mr. lee. it's my understanding that you have about 62 fast charging stations in maryland, across about 33 locations. so thank you for the work you are doing and state of maryland. i'm very interested as to how these how do we reach communities have traditionally been underserved? there is no financial opportunities here. you talked about one aspect of that in regards to the disposal of the older buses. i'm also concerned about outreach. do they really understand how to engage in this program and the support that we can make sure projects. so i'm going to start with you first, mr. levy. it's my understanding that you have about 62 fast charging stations in maryland, across about 33 locations. so thank you for the work you are doing and state of maryland. i'm very interested as to how these how do we reach communities have traditionally been underserved? there is no financial opportunities here. you talked about one aspect of that in regards to the disposal of the older buses. i'm also concerned

jackson lee: mr. speaker, i rise again to thank leader hoyer for his masterful control and work on the floor of the house and thank him for his magic one minute. i rise as well as i hope to continue the debate to encourage and say that there is no option but to support the omnibus that will come before us. 40 million children will have permanent health care through the chips program. $24 billion will help to improve veterans health care. what is needed by americans is that mental health will now be a high priority in assisting the stabilization of our families. i rise also to indicate my determination to reintroduce h.r. 7566, which it was this year, the no trafficking zone act. this legislation would have established a sentencing enhancement of up to five years for any person who commits an offense of child sex trafficking or coercion and enticement of a minor within a school. 1,000 feet. let me apprise this body, in 2020, 11 sks is 93 instances of potential human trafficking was reported by the unit

mr. lee, vineyard has one to make the case that hate crime offenders are not specialists. these criminals often have prior criminal offenses. can you explain how our current justice system is set up to handle biased based crimes? >> can you just clarify what specific -- abstractly, how bias create -- how responding to them currently? >> the law by a space crime or hate crime varies across jurisdiction, across the state. you'll observe for example there is a market increase in offenses against french under people reported the fbi since 2012. a lot of that just because prior to that, hate crime laws in the night states not incorporate transgender people. they still don't and some states. in most cases a bias motivated defense is -- hate crimes are enhancements to other offensive. they're charging enhancements. if i shoot somebody, i would get one sentence and if i shoot them in a way that is motivated by provably motivated by my beliefs about them or their membership in a protected class, there can be higher sentence associated with it. does that answer the question? >> so l

and the second comment, the refers to page 31 where mr. lee mentioned. because he used one of the very first areas. one of the things is that his, his mother was from what was then the danish west indies and she was mixed race. but a lot of her ancestors seems to have come from africa. his father was danish, a planter and also jewish and i think that might be noted here on page 31 because for some people, these is said to be quite important. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner black. >> i just want to thank staff for what is really well researched and written report and also the both triangle association who worked for many many years on this, to provide some funding but also a lot of work. very clear commitment to the neighborhood by residents comes through. and this contact statement is well done and it is foundational to future preservation activities which would include expanding the district. so i'm in support. >> thank you, commissioner warren? >> so i also support adoption and as a living document, i had some thoughts on how we're developing con

jackson lee: mr. chairman, i know how hard you work. i would have preferred the mark of the president's budget but this is hard fought and hard won. heat me thank you for the raise that has been given to our serviceworkers, their housing allowance, let me thank you for this important research strain to the historically black colleges, for ukraine, let me also thank you for what we have fought for in the name of vanessa guillen and that is for the sexual assault that occurs in army, navy and other branches that may not point out a particular one, but let me also stand on this floor and say hostage brittney griner has come home. and that is a testament to what america is all about. and i want to thank all those who played a role and indicate that as she has come home and her family is ecstatic i want to make sure we know former marine paul whalen should be brought home as well. thank you for making sure there's an authorization bill that responds to the people of the united states military. i'm delighted about the amendments about breast
