mr. mccarthy's choice. he maybe or maybe had the evidence. i never really accepted that as a motive for a killing like this. many people were talking about shoplifting, but i never personally believed it as a motive to kill. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right, we just heard from the defense attorney for brittany norwood. douglas wood who told us he was very disappointed by the verdict, which of course you would expect. he said some things that were surprising or a little bit interesting. for example, he said this was a tough experience for brittany norwood, that she wasn't where she wanted to be. of course, she didn't expect to be in front of a jury being tried for murder. she says that they said that the injuries in the case were indicative of impulse, in the a planned attack, which of course a jury very much believed it was a planned attack. hence the first-degree murder conviction. he also said that he would not talk about why she did it. perhaps that was client privilege. he couldn't get into that. we don't have any furthe

mrs. mccarthy: i -- mr. carter: i rise to speak in opposition. the house is not in order. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman may proceed. >> it never creases to amaze me. not once, but twice today, you have taken two bills on the floor that have gone through subcommittee, full committee, unanimously and came down. this bill accepted every single amendment that came to rules. this bill accepted maxine waters amendment in the committee. had the gentleman listened to the debate on the floor you would have heard from your side of the aisle support of this bill. had the gentleman talked and listened about this bill itself, it has nothing to do with lending and let me tell you why. when i was 20 years old, i started my first small business. do you know what the zpwoft does for a small business? if you are someone like me and come from the wrong side of the track, they punish you. they say you can't find money from a source unless you have a previous relationship. it dates back to 1933. the only thing that this bill does is correct that problem. it opens it up for an individu

mrs. mccarthy: i thank the gentleman and thank you, madam speaker. i rise today in opposition for the rule of h.r. 822. as you know this committee voted down a motion to consider the bill threw the open rule. -- through the open rule. this is an important issue we need to have the entire nation hear about it and have all of us have our voices heard. i want to make sure i get to speak on an amendment of mine that is going to be considered. under my amendment states would be required to proactively opt-in to the agreements called for by h.r. 822. this would restore the critical decision of who would be able to carry a concealed handgun in our communities back to where it belongs. to local governments that have to deal with the policing and other consequences such as this will do. we also will hear about other amendments that would restore rights back to states and safety back to our communities. and some sanity back into this debate. madam speaker, i think it's extremely important that we look at this as a states rights issue. my state, we have conceal

mr. mccarthy. did you were here for the panel in which mr. hud asked about internal controls specifically random inspections come multiple bids and taking the lowest bid? >> has your organization as inspector general ever mentioned these steps to hud for the home program? >> i'm certainly we have, yes, sir. >> to allow the question for massachusetts, while you recommend them they have not been adopted, is that correct? spec i'm not certain i can answer that right now. as the mecca got to the coup appears they haven't been leveled. >> another question about the information systems because you brought up those in your testimony a bit so the way the information system works today is the duke guarantees and sub guarantees can go in and change members at any point in the systems of its hard for the computer system to have a reconcilable audit trail you can use in your investigation. that is what the audits have shown and i think that mr. truax testified to that also. islamic he did. and as the inspector general's to part of her suggested that hud

mccarthy whispered something in the murrays ears. at that point they left the courtroom. they were not there to see the autopsy photos. the norwood family mostly left. mr. norwood stayed. closing arguments began just about an hour and-a-half ago. john mccarthy went before the jury and he used a screen, a projector screen overhead and put up a number of quotes and statements and pictures. he basically called brittany norwood an actress, manipulator and reminded the jury about some of the quotes she had said to the police like how is my girlfriend? and i tried to help jayna. is there any good news? one of the statements that she actually made to a detective. mccarthy said she manufactured the scene. also said that brittany norwood lured jayna murray back to the store that night and the only reason to bring her back there was to kill her. let's bring in born who was there -- bob who was there until the defense closed, when the defense is done the prosecution gets to have a rebuttal close. this could be a long night. bob, what is happening? >> first, he's trying to say this was not premeditated murder. if you don't mind i'll read my notes, it's dramatic, t

our good friend kevin mccarthy from 106.7 the fan was there. he had a moment with mr. eastwood.ilm. he talks about it. he is joining us from the wjfk studios in fairfax. tell us about the party last night. >> i was freaking out because clint eastwood, i mean oh, my gosh he is like one of biggest screen legends of all time. i was standing right there in front of him. when i talked to him, i didn't even hear what he was saying to me because all i was doing was staring at him, looking at clint eastwood wondering what i'm doing here standing talking to this guy. >> if the folks at home follow kevin on twitter, you can see some of of the pictures he is talking about. what did you think? >> the movie focus so much over the spanakopita of his professional career so we are going from 1919 to 1972. the screenwriter has to take all all of this. they are going back and forth. he focused on economic cases and the personal life of j. edgar. everyone had questions about the relationship. the movie dives into that. we learn kind of what was going on. but it is about a romantic relationship alm

representatives ellen mccarthy have legislation on this and i hope the subcommittee continues to date these important issues that those bills would also be giving a full and thorough debate. mr. chairman, i think it's very important these bills come before the committee and are subject to a hearing and i look forward to scheduling such a hearing in the near future. as a society, we value homeownership is the pathway to a better life. therefore it's appropriate or country create opportunities to extend the american dream beyond just the wealthiest americans and ensure that only a home remains affordable for the middle-class and i hope are available to accomplish with this going or could i get that balance of my time. >> gentleman yields back. ms. baker is recognized for two minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and thank you for holding today's hearing on your proposal. a discussion draft entitled to mortgage investment. in march, treasury secretary geithner testified before our committee and sad, the administration have a congress to look forward government has played in the past and work together to build a stronger and more balanced system of housing finance and quote. i ag
