mr. lewis, for the purpose of an opening statement. mr. lewis: thank you, mr. chairman for holding this aring involving taxpayers' dispute. i welcome you back to washington, mr. chairman and on behalf of the citizens of georgia and especially the citizens of the 5th district, we are able to welcome hundreds and thousands of people from florida. i went into a parking lot in andtown atlanta on saturday there were so many cars from florida and people were walking their dogs in the parks. we're neighbors. ms. wilsonto welcome . i have relatives that live in fort lauderdale. and only thing we have had happened in our district for the most part, pine trees coming down. i want to thank you for being here today. before we begin, mr. chairman, i would like to take a moment to stepped my condolences to you and the millions of americans that were impacted. as you know the hurricane damaged homes, downed trees, losed roads and left one million residents without power in my home state. our people are beginn

mr. lewis and mr. deboer, you have both included in your written statements concerns on the expense. mr. lewis, your testimony laid out concerns for service businesses. mr. deboer, your testimony led out the potential significant negative effects on the real estate industry of such a limitation. however, we frequently hear how the current tax treatment of debt and equity finances leads to overleveraging of businesses and it brings the tax treatment of the two more in sync. i would like your respective thoughts on that. mr. lewis and mr. deboer, if you could do it for us. >> i'll take a crack at it first. equity financing for many start-ups and small mid-sized businesses is simply not available. i think you have to start with that notion. so while the points that you just made are there, the combination, though, of taking away -- of taking away an interest expense deduction will put more burden on the small businesses. the reality is that large businesses have access to the equity markets. the capital m

mr. lewis: our nation is facing a skills gap. a student completion crisis at both the high school and college levels. and record levels of student tchefment status quo is unacceptable. we must do better for our students by truly supporting career and technical education as a pathway to success. c.t.e. has been shown to dramatically increase high school graduation rates, increase post-secondary access and most importantly get students to a degree and a well-paying career. more than 75% of c.t.e. concentrators purr pseudopost-secondary education shortly after high school and four out of five students earned a credential or were enrolled two years later. dual enrollment allows high school c.t.e. students to earn college credit and significantly increase their likelihood of pursuing and completing college. all the while saving their families money. the key is that c.t.e. students often don't need an expensive four-year education. as many attend a great two-year technical college and head into the workplace with little debt and skills

mr. lewis: i yield one minute to thegentleman from kentucky, chairman of the state foreign operations committee. mr. rogers: i rise in respectful disagreement with my colleagues who offer this amendment. the united states institute of peace works to help prevent, reduce and resolve violent conflicts abroad. the institute along side our military, our diplomats in the most conflict affected including iraq, afghanistan, tunisia, south sudan and ukraine. eliminating the u.s. institute of peace would hamper our efforts to stabilize these areas and to prevent further outbreaks of conflict. the institute works with local leaders and other partners to find solutions to religious freedom and mitigate the rise of extremism and persecution. let me point out, too, that the staffer the gentleman just mentioned in his remarks is no longer with the institute. she's gone. and so, mr. chairman, i urge a no vote on this amendment. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from georgia is recogni

i now yield to the distinguished ranking member, mr. lewis for purpose of an opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman, for holding this hearing to taxpayers disputes for the internal revenue service. i welcome you back to washington, mr. chairman. and on behalf of the citizens of georgia and especially the citizens of the fifth district, we were able to welcome hundreds of thousands of people from florida. i went into a parking lot in downtown atlanta on saturday, and there was no many cars from florida. and people had their dogs, walking their dogs through the parks from florida. we're neighbors. and i want to in particular welcome ms. wilson and mr. shin and relatives that live over in fort lauderdale. and only thing that we had happen in my district for the most part, pine trees coming down. i want to thank you for being here today. before we begin, mr. chairman, i would like to take a moment to extend my condolences to you and millions of americans who were impacted by the recent hurricanes in the caribbeans and the southern states.

chairman -- mr. lewis: thank you, mr. chairman. it is unfortunate to see some of my colleagues claim that career and technical education is somehow this separate or lesser pathway to a college degree. these claims are neither factual, nor are they very genuine. c.t.e. promotes college access. with 91% of high school graduates who earn a two to three-year c.t.e. credit going on to enroll in college. when partisan politics gets ejected into work force development policy, it's students across the nation who lose. i can tell you throughout the second district i've got employers and students dying for these opportunities from all backgrounds. the current bill leaves c.t.e. state grands -- grants with funding $60 million below what they received 10 years ago. while trio receives funding of $110 million above both its authorized level and what the program received just two years ago. my amendment supports all of our students and their diverse ambitions and affirms career and technical education as a viable pathway to success. i urge my co

mr. lewis: mr. speaker, i want to thank my friend, mr. davis, for yielding. mr. speaker, i rise in strong opposition to this bill. for many years i have been a proud member to serve on the ways and means committee, the oldest committee in the u.s. congress. our committee has the responsibility to put people before politics. we have a commitment to act in the best interest of all, not just a select few. most importantly, we have a duty to protect and preserve the united states constitution. today, mr. speaker, it hurts my soul that our committee would pass a bill that attacks the constitutional princip that you are innocent until proven guilty. where is the reason, where is the compassion, what is the purpose, how can you gamble with the livelihoods of those who are most in need? how can we punish the sick, the disabled and elderly? how can we pass a bill that targets latinos, african-americans and native americans? mr. speaker, how can you rob peter to pay paul? mr. speaker, i urge each and every one of my colleagues to vote no on this mean and spiteful bill that

crowley, mr. lewis, mr. neal, and chairman brady. and i urge its passage and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from illinois yields back. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 1843 as amended. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 being in the affirmative, the rules are suspended, the bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from it know seek recognition? mr. hultgren: i move to suspend the rules and pass the fidgeshal stability council insurance stability continuity act. the clerk: union calendar number 211, h.r. 3110 a bill to amend the financial stability act to modify the term of the independent member of the financial stability oversight council. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from illinois, mr. hultgren. and the gentleman from michigan, mr. kildee, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from illinois. mr. hultgren: i ask

mr. lewis will be our guest on our "in depth" program, call-in program on the first sunday in november. so you can catch him again then. joining us before we continue other author presentations, joining us now on our set, on

mr. lewis and then mr. higgins. >> i agree also with everything you said. needs,en our security should congress pass massive tax-cut at this time? i think we should be strengthening the revenue system of this country. as every tax expert knows, we are a well taxed country. i've advocated for 10 years. that is one way we can have our cake and eat it in the sense of tax reform, instead of trying to use trench warfare to get rid of popular deductions. just make them irrelevant by andng a value added tax then raise the exemption levels to such a level that a family would have to make $100,000 or more before they paid any income taxes at all. some of you are familiar with a plan that has been discussed before this committee. that is the place to think about what we should be doing. massive tax suggest -- >> mr. higgins is recognized. >> mr. bartlett i am familiar with your work. .e share the title of your book [laughter] ont was your previous work those architects? calledd a book in 1981 reaganomics. it was based on the research i did while working with jack cam

nice story, mr. lewis missed the point of his own story basically. what he has told is a kind of a, it's a case study. he has given us a case study in the ways that the human mind leads us astray when it is operating from the gut, human a intuition. and the ways in which the human mind leads us astray were mapped by these two israeli school exists, in the late '70s. i went, i missed the story. i thought i didn't know. i never heard of it. >> thesis, you're a writer, get one bad review or questionable review in the "new republic." you write an entirely new book. >> it was more complicated than that obviously. i never heard of these guys, even though the year "moneyball" was being written khan won the nobel prize in economics and he didn't even know economics. that was impressive. so he, i just, it bothered me that i missed this trick. it is a great -- i like to think, i like to think, people say that an explanation is where the mind comes to rest and the books are explanation. what you do with your story is kind of where your mind came to rest.. i lik

mr. lewis: this world this hoard, not ours to waste and destroy. i ask you what is wrong with supporting the way of peace, the way of love? the way of nonviolence? what is wrong with teaching communities to respect the dignity and worth of every human being? what is wrong with presenting conflict and -- preventing conflict and keeping our military personnel safe and out of harm's way? mr. chairman, on the question of preventing war and on the challenge for keeping peace, there should be no price tag, usip does good and great work on a shoe string budget. it is a small agency which teaches the way of peace, the way of love and small staffs help communities to solve problems through dialogue rather than weapons. mr. chairman, this is not the first time that we consider an amendment to abolish the u.s. institute of peace but i hope this will be the last. i urge each and every one of my colleagues to vote against this amendment. mr. chairman, i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from colorado is ecognized.

. >> mr. lewis and then mr. higgins. >> mr. bartlett, i agree also with everything you said. but given our domestic and national security need, should congress pass massive tax cut at this time? this day? >> no, i personally think we should be strengthening the revenue system of this country. as every tax expert knows, find the data very easily at the oecd.org. we are a low-tax country. i have advocated for at least ten years that we have a value added tax. i think that is one way we could have our cake and eat it too in the sense of tax reform. instead of trying to -- use trench warfare to get rid of popular deductions and things of that sort, just make them irrelevant by doing something -- by having a value-added tax, and then raise the exemption levels to such a level that a family would have to make $100,000 or more before they paid any income taxes at all. now, some of you are familiar with a plan that michael gratz at columbia discussed before this committee. i think that is a place to start and think about. what we should be doing. >> will you suggest that passing a ma

mr. lewis from minnesota, ms. plaskett from the virgin islands, and look to see if our -- we have any other colleagues who want to join. all right. we'll go ahead and begin this panel. anything you all have in writing, you're welcome to submit for the record. and we would welcome any verbal summary you have, if you would please mention the division and the amendment number of the amendment you're testifying about, it will help us to find it, and we'll begin with the delicate from the virgin islands. >> ranking member slaughter for the opportunity to testify on my amendment to the department of interior division on this bill. my amendment is number 176 within division a. this amendment would simply restore current funding to the assistance to the territories account at the department of interior's office of insuler affairs. this a modest uptick of just under $1 million in federal support to the united states territories. mainly the virgin islands, guam, the northern mariettas and american samoa. the smaller territo

mrs. lewis's remarks. >> i'm still waiting. >> well, thank you both very much. and i do think it is important that we have people in key positions. i think secretary tillerson is doing a tremendous job. i think this foreign policy team is first rate. and i think that there are some positions that are more important than others. and one of the things that can be extremely frustrating when you are at the state department is watching sort of the people doing the same thing over and over and over again and in particular when you are talking about taxpayer money and these programs are money is basically pushed out the door at the end of the fiscal year and no real measurement of effectiveness and i think taxpayers deserve better. i think the oversight in this bill will help us to get at that and i applaud the committee's efforts in that regard. i also applaud their efforts to removing the anti-coal regulations. so thank you very much for that. and with that, i'd like to yield back the balance of my time. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i too want

mr. holzer: but i love the movie. i did not answer the original question. i thought daniel day-lewis was astonishing. brilliant. mr. carmichael: my fear is that when people think of lincoln now , they will think about daniel day-lewis. when you think of patton, you think of the actor. george c scott. but lincoln would probably be happy. daniel day-lewis is a great-looking guy. that is an uptick in the image making process. mr. carmichael: i don't know. mr. holzer: we were going to talk about some of that image as lincoln as a towering guy. mr. carmichael: we will talk about that in a moment. one of the things i thought was brilliant about the movie is it showed lincoln and how he was at his best in the bareknuckle political fights. especially, i think -- typical americans don't like to see lincoln in that light. they see him as a statesman. see --zer: they do not they don't like to see the making of the sausage. they only want to see the results. mr. carmichael: that's right. so i thought this book -- we see a man in lincoln who seduces the press in some ways that i , would like you to talk to the audience about. in

mr. ted lewis california. >> thank you to the witnesses for the public service. i served on active duty on the u.s. pacific command in the 1990s at guam. we did a series of exercises most of them directed at north korea and it's clear there were no good military options. the reason i bring that up is because the diplomatic and economic options depend on whether you have a good military option and often it's not for us to say. it's dictated by the facts on the ground. they are good at hiding things, yes. >> in order to get rid of those weapons to get the goals for the military force we would need a and innovation to find the weapons and destroy them is the perfect >> since we don't know what the nuclear weapons are and how many they have come in order to denuclearize the option we would need a ground invasion to find the weapons and destroy them isn't that correct? for you to do your job you also need to understand the military option, so let me just go on a. to keep this in the future we would need to occupy the country or have them as one of the allies occupy th

mr. speaker, yesterday i was standing next to john lewis as we joined our democratic colleagues from the house and the senate, delivered a spirited message of resolve to fight donald trump's cruelty towards almost 800,000 young americans and, of course, several million other members of their family, their friends, their employers who all had their lives turned upside down by trump's senseless, unnecessary decision. strange for somebody who professes to love the dreamers. who's caught in his own trap, didn't know what he was doing, trying to pass responsibility for his decision onto others. but of course that's sort of what we've come to expect from someone who appears to care only for himself. he was afraid even to deliver the message himself. typical of donald trump, he outsourced the decision delivery to jeff sessions who he spent most of the summer demeaning. now, i think there's a simple solution. take it back. donald trump is famous for mulligans on the golf course, doovers if he didn't like the shot, he'd just do it again. let's declare a daca mulligan. take it back. yes, it might
