[laughter] is the key identifier unique to each individual issued by a trusted source and most importantt feelings to different databases which attack the cow and drivers license it is invaluable but as we have heard but also invaluable for crime and one estimate between 60 and 80% of all social security numbers have been stolen including $16 billion annually i think the committee is on the right track looking at ways to modernize and strengthen the ssn and social security number to provide members to reduce crime our goal should be to provide the same

have a permission to do that and it's so you need to show collective power in order to do some said mr lewis don't you see the irony in that because respond this half an hour talking about you know this bare knuckle of prose by donald trump and what you're actually telling me that it's ok to be your itself implying that kind of any other point known them when you have to protect your interests you you may take measures that are necessary to protect your interests when you have a huge deficit that you accumulate with china which is in part because of unfair like this is not always that it's also the hunger of consumption of the us for cheap products but there is also in. very dedicated strategy which and say it is not always fair to destroy production in the west or in russia and says very cheap products are unfair competition. you entitle to defend against that yes you must that's one issue but please don't confuse with. well anyway mr milosevic have to leave it there thank you for being with us today i'm i hope our viewers can keep this conversation going on our social media pages asp i mea

their economic advantages mr lewis you know you've been making that point. for quite some time and i think many in europe see triumph as the only problem whereas you have specifically pointed out that the united states have been in applying its laws extra territorially for over forty years why do you think has it taken so long for the europeans to wake up to this practice because they're only starting to noticing it now when it affects them directly well forty years ago we reacted. when there was a gas pipeline issue and reagan try to stop us and stop germany in particular but europe to build this pipeline was russian soviet union at the time saying that it was a security risk to american national security. we stopped and we took legislation which made it a crime for penalties for french or european companies to accept american legislation and to accept being under american law and i think there was a similar reaction to the hounds burton act right. so we used this so-called blocking statute in one thousand nine hundred six here again to start again this tim

and as mr. lewis mentioned, things such as smart cards can be a much more rapid practical option that could be distributed without requiring every citizen to have bio metrics record zb. >> is there a consensus amongst the panel with respect to smart cards? >> mr. rosen? >> i think it's a good interim solution. but to be honest the smart card security system is not itself terribly robust. we have all experienced credit card fraud as well as a result of a lot of that. on the issue of bio metrics, i think it really is a difference between a centralized database and distributed database. bio metrics as a localized identifier is actually something that praum white houesident oba house supported because they are readily usable by most citizens than password. >> so you also objected to one of mr. lester's solutions. could you explain why and hopefully mr. lester will get a chance to reply? >> well, i don't so much object. regulation is clearly one of the normal tools in our toolkit here in washington along t

mr. lewis, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair and thank you madam secretary for joining us at today's hearing. i also want to talk little bit about the departments 2014 school discipline guidance. i commend my democrat colleagues for their passion on this issue.si in fact, so for much of my work in the community has indeed been focused on juvenile justice and reaching troubled kids early to help them get back kion track. ruling of discrimination, combating the school pipeline and goals that i have and goals we share and should vigorously pursue. however i also believe discretion must be afforded to the teachers and leaders in our schools to build positive school cultures and maintain safe, productive classrooms and succeed in the educational mission. lowering expectations, turning a blind eye to misbehaviors is not doing any of our kids any favors. madam secretary, my question is this. under the 2014 guidance, even a school policy that is neutral, implemented evenly

welch, mr. lewis, ms. schakowsky, will again be made in order. this continues to push the department of defense to finally complete a full audit of its finances, as required by law. corrects some of the more egregious provisions in the dodd-frank financial regulatory legislation. the bill focuses on the regulatory relief, on smaller financial institutions, namely community banks and credit unions. so that they can more readily meet the needs of their local communities, without burdensome federal regulations stifling their economic growth. this places the focus of the financial institutions back on their customers, instead of on completing paperwork and answering to agencies in washington, d.c. finally, mr. speaker, our final bill in today's rule, h.r. 204, will look familiar to many people here today. as we are again considering legislation that would bring hope to terminally ill patients across our country. a similar bill, h.r. 5247, passed this house in march. minority leader chuck schumer and senate democrats have refused to act on h.r. 5247.
