mrs. maloney of new york. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 276, the gentlelady from new york, mrs. maloney, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlelady from new york. mrs. maloney: thank you, mr. chairman. this amendment would require public disclosure of information submitted under section 847 of this act. this amendment is about bringing more accountability and sunshine to the $379 billion annual average defense contracting business by making a revolving door database which already exist publicly available. it would have important ethics information about some d.o.d. employees who leave to go through the revolving door to jobs in the defense contracting industry often with companies with whom they have been negotiating billions of dollars in contracts. current and former public servants should not be able to use their positions for private gain and powerful defense contractors should not be able to rig the system. but unfortunately this relationship is not

mrs. maloney of new york. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 276, the gentlewoman from new york, mrs. maloney, and a member opposed, will each control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from new york. mrs. maloney: this is about the need to continue to make informing available to the public, keep our uniformed military safe an ensure tax dollars are not wasted on aircraft with serious performance and maintenance issues. it would simply narrow section 1081 of the act under consideration and would ensure the military cannot hide subpar maintenance of military aircraft or other preventable shortcomings from disclosure under the guise of keeping important tactical information from our enemies. it ensures an adequate balance between the defense department's appropriate need to protect tactical information while ensuring the public can learn, for example, when the military is not putting our pilots in the best maintained aircraft in the world. just ask the parents of geoffrey smith with whom i'v

mr. maloney, you have rebuttal time if you would like to say something more. have you three minutes. >> when we did this, we went through the planning department and obviously health and fire. we got approved by the planning department. we got to this stage because we got an area permit to do the demme mission after the fire and we had removed everything. that store had not been a store in 20 years. we used it for garbage because we didn't have a garbage area. when we spoke to the fire department, the battalion chief asked me could we put in a second exit, he said fire safety overruled everything else and he would vouch for that and he stated i could get a letter from him at any time. in the meantime there was seven months of confusion because when the court enforcement people investigated us, we gave them the plans, code enforcement took the plans, had them for two weeks and came back and said everything was in order. in between that time two people from the planning department came in. they didn't call and make an appointment or anything. i just happened to

mrs. maloney. the chair: the gentlelady from new york. mrs. maloney: i thank the ranking member for his leadership and for yielding. i thank him and chairman mckeon for the bipartisan approach of including amendments in the en bloc. i thank you for including my amendment and en bloc number four. my amendment would narrow an overly broad exemption under foia. we must protect certain critical security infrastructure information to keep our defense operations, properties, and facilities safe from terrorists. but we must not be overly broad in our definition. my amendment strikes a balance between safeguarding our critical infrastructure, security information, and the public's right to know. withholding certain information could endanger the public and to give one example is the case of the marine corps camp lejeune water contamination tragedy. for three decades thousands of marines and their families consume tap water contaminated with chemicals. the likely cause of their cancers. led by members of congress, victims and supporters have blamed mari

mrs. maloney. the speaker pro tempore: 1 3/4 minutes, the gentlewoman from new york is recognized. mrs. maloney: i thank the gentlelady for her leadership on this and so many important issues. i want to make clear in response to the gentleman's statement, there is no taxpayer funded abortions now. there weren't any yesterday and there won't be any in the future. h.r. 3 goes far beyond current law. it is stunning in its scope, appalling in its indifference and outrageous in its arrogance. the right to choose is absolutely meaningless without access to choice. and h.r. 3 creates obstacles for women to access safe, legal and constitutionally protected health care. this makes access to abortion coverage incredibly difficult. and i would say that the bill is not only an attack on women's rights, it's also an attack on the rights of the private insurance companies and small businesses. it tells private insurance companies how to run their businesses, raises compliance costs for small businesses and even tells the local government how they may spend their money. the bill manages to offend nearl

mr. maloney of new york for five minutes. >> thank you. thank you very much. i truly believe the title of this hearing today, and really the gop efforts in general should be let's pretend the financial crisis never happened. let's forget that 15 trillion families lost household wealth in america, that our financial community was brought to its knees and had to be bailed out by the american taxpayer, and in response to this crisis, overwhelming support from the american people, we created the cfpp, it is producted and urgently needed and would be allowed to go into operation as planned by the bill that was signed into law by president obama. now the cfpb fills a gaping hole in our regulatory framework. this is a body that will focus completely and totally on consumer financial protection. too often consumer protection was a second thought, a third thought, or not even thought about at all. so you came out with abusive and anti-competitive practices and credit cards, subprime loans that had a agree of probability of throwing american families out on the street a
