mr. lujan: good morning, everyone. i think what we're seeing yet again, as our chairman and vice chairman remind us about the responsibility of governing, is how house republicans have demonstrated all year that they cannot govern responsibly on behalf of hardworking, everyday americans, putting in fighting over governing and reckless positions over progress. the republican party is broken and speaker boehner's resignation is the starkest and most high profile example of that dess function and chaos -- dysfunction and chaos. it's disturbing that speaker boehner was somehow not conservative enough for many of our republican colleagues. but let's be clear. this is not a speaker boehner problem, it's a republican problem. this is a republican conference problem. and the next speaker will face the same stark choice as boehner. go along with the extreme base or get run over by them. the right wing is emboldened right now and that will only continue to grow as we approach big, upcoming deadlines. raising the debt ceiling, ex

mr. lujan: -- mr. lieu: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. earlier this year i introduced the quarterly financial report re-authorization act that would commit it for 15 years. it was reported out of voice vote july 15. i was to thank chairman chaffetz and ranking member cummings for quickly working to move this forward prior to the expiration. since the end of world war ii, the q.f.r. has been used to determine our nation's gross domestic product, the federal reserve's flow of funds account and other vital economic estimates. it is conducted by the u.s. census bureau based on sample size of 12,500 companies across a variety of industry sectors from mining and manufacturing to information and professional services. the end result is timely, accurate data on business financial conditions from over a third of our economy that's widely used by our economy. it plans to further expand tracking additional sectors such as health care and real estate. the department of commerce has called the re-authorization of this program a top priority, and the u

lujan grisham: mr. wynne, hat can congress do to provide help for this model, what can we do to enhance these efforts? mr. wynne: i appreciate the question. the point i've been laboring to articulate here is that the economic opportunity is not just immediate. it needs to be sustainable. and so all of the questions that we're discussing, in technology we call a buynary conversation. really cool technology could do a lot of really cool stuff but we have safety questions. we go through this with every technology, pretty much. the same kind of questions mr. geiger is bringing up can be applied on a technology specific basis to license plate readers, it can be applied to body cameras. they can be applied to a bunch of different technology contexts. the industry needs to do this in a way that's sustainable. otherwise it won't work. and i agree with mr. misener when he said, it's in our interest to make sure our customer's privacy is protected and it's in our interest also as an industry to make certain that

mr. lo lujan. what is being done differently? what do you think a sustainable? representative wasserman schultz: as far as soul-searching, i have been searching our broader just broader review that needs to be shown to make sure we are in midterm elections as well. we have seen that we are able in the country supports our party's agenda. we won last five out of the six presidential elections. the confidence of america's voters. in midterm elections there is not the same consistency in turn come to the polls. we had work to do. we have been going there and the valuation of the national party. did a comprehensive review. we continue to afford to address some of those things, particularly in strengthening parties in making sure we raise the four on the professionalism. you want to be able to consistently rely as a candidate on the ability of the party t quarterback the campaigns. a statewide or presidential campaign will feel and they have to come in stand up on completely separate operations. point and areture we cast affected. on the house, the teacher will dccc

mr. chairman, it seems the alack of reflecting trust. they do not feel that they can trust the hillary clinton, not about technicalities, but whether she is trustworthy enough. congressman lujan: the polls are indicative of where mr. trump is going. polls are going to move. important tois so talk to constituents and their homes, in their districts -- that is why it is so important to talk to constituents i and their homes, in their districts. ask them what is happening in their daily lives. so, when they are having a difference with republican it comes tohen college affordability, why or gopcans in the house presidential candidates refused to talk about how we can make sure that students are able to refinance in the way that the bullpen refinance their homes or cars. real debates about infrastructure in the country. the government shutdown seem to be more on their mind and other policies. i think all of those conversations will change as they move toward 2016. reaching toward the american people, talking with them, visiting them, getting them to earn trust, that is what we have to do, and that is my primary responsibility. not only is the congressman of new mexico. we need to
