and now, i yield to the distinguished ranking member, mr. lewis, for the purposes of an opening statement. >> good morning. thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for holding this hearing. i would also like to thank our witnesses for being here today. as we discuss the tax reform, our subcommittee will play a very important role in improving the internal revenue service. today's hearing will examine irs policies to store, archive and produce records, including electronic mail. we will also review the irs's ability to respond to legal freedom of information act, including those from members of congress. in 2015, the agency received over 10,000 fia requests, and 90% within an average of 23 business days. the requests took longer than 20 business days. generally involved privacy of legal issues that prevented a timely response. we all agree that federal agency must process and reply to any request for relevant electronic and other records in a timely manner. for any agency, including the irs, information technology is key to meeting this standard. this i

i'll be speaking to mr lewis and, as labour's got its own brexit problems, to the shadow home secretarywe shouldn't take options off the table. also tonight, we report from caracas, as venezuala faces the possibility of civil war. this is a country that has seen many of its youngest people killed, injured or arrested. people like these are commemorating the lives lost in this way, of political unrest. this is very much an open wound and the consequences are far from known. whose calling who elite, and since when was it a dirty word? you're coming across to a little bit elitist. after emily's extraordionary encounter with trump's new man last night, we'll ask what's so bad about being the e word? we are travelling in this kind of torpedo—like object, deep under the streets of london. we are travelling in this torpedo like objects, deep under the streets of london. good evening. the home secretary, safely on a boat on the west coast of scotland, broke her year—long silence on brexit in an article in the ft to announce that there will be not be a cliff edge for eu nationals in march 2019,

and thus, the characterization of motivations by mr. lewis or others, or events by mr. lewis and others, are, tomy knowledge and that of my wife, totally untrue. now, i cannot speak to the motivations of those other people who've described other events. sen. trible: i can conceivably the reason for the issues. if they were helping to help you, they would have gone to directly. and they surely would not have volunteeredthis information as they did. but i thank you for your answer there. we'll just have to sit back and judge as best we can as the -- for example, albert hakim has testified before us that during august of 1986, mr. secord agreed to a suggestion of tom klein's that they maximize the profits from the last sale of arms to the contras. were you aware of that? oliver north: no. sen. trible: yes testified that a prophet of $861,000 was made on that $2.1 million transaction. --,. sen. trible: he believes that type of profit is fair and just. north: again, i would have to sit down and go under these issues with c court -- i do not know what their expenses were. i do

and thus, the characterization of motivations by mr. lewis or others, or events by mr. lewis and others, are, to my knowledge and that of my wife, totally untrue. i cannot speak to the medivation's of those people who described other events. sen. trible: i appreciate your reluctance to do so. the record demonstrates you acted most appropriately under this situation. however, i asked those questions because i really can conceive of no other reason for those initiatives. if they were really trying to help you, they would have gone to you directly, it seems to me. they surely would not have volunteered this information as they did. but i thank you for your answer there. we just have to sit back and judge as best we can as the pieces of the puzzle come together. let's talk about profits. there is been testimony that mr. hakim and secord were reaping large profits by marking up the arms being sold to the contras. for example, mr. hakim testified before us that during august of 1986, mr. secord agreed to a suggestion of tom clines that they maximize the profits from the last s

mr. lewis: thank you, chairman black. i would, too, like to say how happy i am to work with all of these people and what a great job they've done. i came here to balance a budget. i came here to get us on a glide path to balance a budget, and this budget does that through mandatory reductions. first time in decades we've done that. if we don't do that, you are going to have $758 billion in interest payments in 10 years. we have got a debt crisis that we need to handle. we can't do nothing, so we took a bold action here and combining these very, very bold reductions with economic growth. and by the way, 2.6% economic growth is post-world war ii norms. doing that will get us to this balanced budget, but more importantly it goes behind everything we are doing on this committee. we are growing the economy, getting more private sector investment and growing median family incomes. that's our goal on the budget committee, to get more growth so that everybody has a rising tide of economic growth. that benefits everybody in minnes

now it is my great pleasure to welcome mr. lewis lehrman. [applause] lewis: so mad and chairman, -- madam chairman, thank you so much for the introduction. even after so long, one needs reinforcement. trustees, members, and guests, we are gathered in this hall tonight to contemplate the most colossal war of human history. to focus especially upon the anglo american alliance in world war ii. war, anglet of was commonplace among civilian and military leaders in washington. more than one century of anglo american opposition had led to mutual distrust. mention, the revolutionary separation from the mother country and the humiliating war of 1812. bad blood, they followed the disappointments of world war one. not least, britain's failure to repay its war decks to america. in britain, condescension toward its former colonials still prevailed among the british elites. depression at home and revolution abroad, appeasement and isolationism preoccupied both countries. politiciansrican believe that sophisticated british leaders such as winston teensill a

he said, mr. lewis, i'm, i have been a member of the klan. i beat you. and your seat mate.said, i went to apologize. will you forgive me. your son started crying. he started crying. i said, i forgive you. i accept your apology. they hugged me. i hugged them back. and i saw this gentleman four other times. he went out. he moved out of the election. and i think in a sense he got religion. and, and -- i think a lot of people did. >> so hearts can change. >> hearts can change. >> and we should, shouldn't, ever give up on any one. >> you want to washington, and, and, you ultimately met with, president kennedy. but you were the youngest person included in that famous march on washington. the, the -- event at the lincoln memorial. which martin luther king made his, dramatic, speech. but your speech was quite controversial. >> we must wake up america, weak up! so we cannot stop. and we will not and cannot be patient. >> in fact, while the program was beginning. you as a 23-year-old, were standing behind the lincoln statue with the leaders of the civil rights movement. telling you t

i now recognize mr. lewis from missouri. >> thank you, chairman black. and thank you for your leadership on this very, very tough issue. you know, since the recession, our nation has faced an anemic recovery with only 1%, 2% growth. this economic ma lace made it harder for families in minnesota, my home state and all across the united states to succeed. i would argue this poor growth is due to policies that have overspent, overregulated and underdelivered. in fact, we are at record levels of budget outlays and tax revenue right now. stimulus plan to stimulus plan have failed to deliver on economic growth. it is time for washington to refocus on the significant policy changes that will restore economic prosperity, a rising tide of income, a hike in the standard of living and lead to sustainable and responsible budgets. the bottom line is we can have family incomes that grow and an economy that grows at 3, 4, 5% because we have before in the '60s, 80s and in the '90s. if we do not debegin to address the debt, we will hinder any attempts at recovery. we wil

shouldn't be adopted and i would urge a no vote on it, and with that of you happy to yield to my friend mr. lewis from minnesota. >> i thank the gentleman.the w the whole point about government spending as a better way of allocating resources and willingness to be addressed. my friend across the aisle and i agree and a strong level transportation system something synthetic of it has to do with regard to infrastructure. as i believe the last congress devoted about $305 billion to improve transit systems, bridges, highways. this amendment unfortunately would be more of the same. more the same from the last the administration, brought from previous programs it would increase taxes on american businesses an an order to pay fr more spending. when i say to talk aboutsts w spending, economists would say what's the best way to allocate resources? the best way is weak advisedre economic return.o i have to admit i have a bias. i think market discipline allows private sector resources to have an economic return. we call those profits in order to service the debt. government far too often devotea their resou

what is interesting is both mr lewis and amber rudd are saying when we leave in march 2019, that doesn the new system starts them, it will be phased in gradually. we do not know how long that process will be. it could stretch up to four years and experts say getting a new visa system in place could take years. so getting the new immigration system might not come into force. as i said earlier on since the brexit vote, why has it taken so long? they will induce the bet —— brexit immigration bill. it is all the bits higgledy—piggledy, you have to say, the new immigration bill will be introduced at the start of the year. it all seems a little bit out of sequence. it all seems a little bit out of sequence. or to speak to. let's head over to the bbc newsroom. ben brown is in the bbc newsroom with a summary of the rest of the day's news. the parents of the terminally—ill baby, charlie gard, have until midday to agree with great 0rmond street hospital how his life will end. they've accepted that charlie will spend his last days in a hospice rather than at home, but chris gard and connie yates

mr lewis‘ view was that when we leave the eu, voters will know what sort of new system we are going to it might be phased in over a gradual period of time. but that sense of slight higgledy—piggledy mess will do the micra was compounded by the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, who was asked about this enquiry in australia in a press conference and seemed slightly wrong—footed. the honest truth is you bring me news of this report today, phil, so i'm sorry if i don't... i can't comment on... it sounds like an interesting report. or an interesting potential report. i can give you my views about immigration. i think immigration is broadly a positive thing for society if you allow talented people to come in a controlled way to great metropolises like london and sydney. so, where robbie? i think it is clear that the home secretary at least once a business to have a much bigger input into framing the new immigration rules, but in terms of the actual system the government puts in place, we are really not much clearer what that might be all stop and it would appear that i still serious debates g

. >> i now recognize the gentleman mr. lewis from misery. missouri. >> thank you term in black and thank you for your leadership on this issue. ever since the recession, our nation has faced an anemic recovery. this has made it harder for people all across the united states to succeed. i would argue this is because of policies that have overspent, over regulated, and under delivered. we are at record levels of budget outlays and tax revenue right now. stimulus plan and stimulus plan have failed to deliver. it is time for washington to refocus on the significant policy changes that will restore economic policy, a rising tide standard ofeighten living, and lead to a sustainable budget. the bottom line is we can have family incomes a grow and an economy the gaza 3, 4, 5%. we have before. in the 19 60's, 1980's, 1990's. if we don't seriously address the debt that has doubled over the past eight years, we will hinder any attempt at recovery. will also hurt the future generations ability to achieve the american dream because you cannot hold family
