mr. martinez, mike thompson has been championing this new legislation.hat he had to say about it most recently. >> we also in this bill expand the number of people who are not able or shouldn't have firearms, people that i believe that we all agree shouldn't, stalkers, domestic violence folks, and as you pointed out, the involuntary outpatient folks with serious mental illnesses. >> is that enough? >> well, ronan, you've got to understand, i have -- i have only been -- i've been as kplasant as everyone else, most of the people on this issue. i turned a deaf ear when the sandy hook people -- until it affected me, i didn't step up either. i'm not saying -- i don't -- you know, but you have to remember that i've only been living with the situation for about ten days now. so i don't even pretend to be an expert on this. but from what i've learned -- i have been trying to educate myself rapidly. it's not a simple situation. there's no one solution here. it's a con stelation as i see it right now, three factors, mental health issues, gun violence and violence

smith from new jersey, and i understand our prime co-sponsor, democrat, mr. mike doyle from the great state of pennsylvania, for sponsoring this bill. autism is serious and does not discriminate. people in all racial, social, economic and ethnic groups are impacted, mr. speaker. autism awareness and research is something people from all walks of life can support. one in 68 children is diagnosed with autism. let me say that again. one in 68. that is a disturbing statistic. this legislation will help direct autism research on a federal level. this research is vital and i'm glad my colleagues and i have come together in a bipartisan manner to continue autism research, early identification, intervention and education. i'm proud to support this legislation and i urge my colleagues to pass this final passage of this legislation. thank you, mr. speaker, and i again thank the chairman and my for sponsoring the bill. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas is recognized. mr. green: mr. speaker, i yield to my good friend and deskmate on the energy and commerce com

with us now the chief white house correspondent at politico, mr. mike good morning, willie, and happy friday. >> there it is, happy friday to you, mike. let's talk about new jersey governor chris christie for a moment. later today he's giving a big speech. what's he talking about and why are so many people watching? >> this is amazing. chris christie will be here in d.c. today talking to the faith and freedom coalition. this is the pro-family group that was started by ralph reed. and there's a sneak peek at his remarks, which are very fascinating. he's going to talk about drug addiction and how for someone that's like pro-choice, like he is, that looking out for people who are addicted to drugs is very much in line with that view of looking out for your neighbor, treating your neighbor with respect. governor christie back in april said that he had a friend who for ten years had fought drug addiction and he lost him. apparently this had a real impact on the governor. the governor speaking to this christian conservative group today. we're told he won't us

mr. fugate, again, mike coffman. in your opinion what would have been the benefits during your past surgeries, had the va contributed to the vision registry? >> if my information was successful to the va doctors when i first met them, rather than asking me about the surgeries i had and thumbing through a two inch stack of documents they would have had access to -- better access to the information. they would have seen that the d.o.d. doctors wanted me to have a preventive surgery within the -- within the year. i told the doctor that. the doctor -- my word isn't as strong as the military doctors that had made the suggestion to me at walter reed. >> okay. also, i'm a number. i'm a statistic, and it's meaningless. there's no research being done on the numbers. if my information and all of the other blinded veterans' information were in this data set, much more information could be discovered and we could direct ourselves forward to help us all much better. >> thank you. again, this is mike coffman. mr. cable, thank you

mr. romeo if you would, i heard your testimony -- mike mr. o'neill a bill that approach this from an omnibus perspective. ci would also agree with the fair market concept. the songwriter equity act was a step in right direction to allow the courts to view all rates, all rights when trying to approximate what a willing buyer and a willing seller would do in that word is still approximate because it's not a willing buyer and a willing seller so i believe the fair market aspect of an omnibus bills would be beneficial to all parties. >> if i press you a little further and indicated that there is this a vast market for broadcast media that is not the internet or youtube how would they play into an omnibus approach that we wouldn't have to go back down the journey of no return as we have done in times past? >> i think they would be opposed to it. i think ultimately you have heard it today looked ... about the performance right in sound recordings whether they be for or against it. i think you are tied to some legacy industries that don't want to ch

. >>> joining me now is house intelligence chairman mike rogers. mr.s for being here. >> thanks for having me. >> the man the u.s. suspects was the ringleader in the benghazi attacks, which killed four americans, has been arraigned in a u.s. court. saturday he was there, you heard the charge. he pled not guilty. your reaction? >> well, i mean, thank goodness we've got him. it sends the first clear message that we will not walk away from a terrorist act on u.s. persons anywhere in the world. it creates a whole new host of questions for us. i mean think about the sheer expense, the manpower, the planning to, a, remove him from the battlefield, put him on a u.s. ship, steam him across the ocean to the united states to be presented to a u.s. federal judge, and we had to ask ourselves, is this, are we looking at what's happening in iraq and syria, is this a legal matter? is this a criminal engagement or enemy combatants we need to strike and hold in a different way. if we're going to do this to everybody engaged in terrorism around the world we better start

mr mcfaul to as ambassador to moscow mike foale made a huge sort of show out of the fact that you know he's diplomacy was not about russia and its leadership it was about the american people he was trying to reach out to the american people you know sidelining the the russian government and perhaps put in this trying to sound the same message that you know regardless of who is in the white house and the state of their personal or maybe even contrary relationship there i still want to reach out to the american people or its former leaders well of course russia is really reaching out through the russia today our t.v. programs so that is part of russian russian diplomacy. but in terms of the presidential race and so on i think in races past when the candidates try to use russia it usually didn't work out to to russia's favor so i don't think it's in russia's interests to get too intimately involved because that that increases the the mudslinging element which as we discussed earlier is is warm unfortunate feature i would say of american political campaigning is. is using foreign policy to

mr. conyers. i would like to introduce the witnesses. we have an esteemed and qualified panel. mike white is president, chairman and ceo, that covers everything doesn't it, of directv one of the leaders with 20 million in the united states and 15 million customers in latin america. i am not sure we realize there are that many customers in latin america. mr. white joined directv in january of 2010 and serves as the chairman of the board of directors. and mr. white serves on whirlpool corporation board of directors. before joining directv, mr. white was the ceo and vice chairman of pepsi-co. prior to that he was president and ceo of frito-lays and that was part of pepsi? or did they spin it out? he was ceo of the partnership with general mills. mr. white was the ceo and vice president for avon products and worked as a management consultme consultment. our next witness -- we are glad to have you and mr. randal stephenson is care >> each of the witnesses written statements will be entered in the record and we will ask each witness to summarize his testimony at this moment in five minute

mrs. garvin never made it to key west. >> a check of mike's credit card activity revealed he stopped at a convenience store in miami on the way down to key west. but the store's security camera showed mike was there alone. >> and we just thought it was odd that after driving that long that shirley wouldn't be coming in there to go to the bathroom, get something to drink. you know, we never see shirley coming into the store. >> next, police checked the security videotapes located in the toll booths between jacksonville and key west. they screened hundreds of hours of videotape until they found mike garvin's white jaguar. >> you see the car going through. you see it stopping to pay the toll and then driving on through. >> when they enlarged the picture, they saw an empty passenger seat. >> we ask him where shirley was sitting in the car. he said she was sitting in the front seat. we asked him if she ever got in the back seat. no, she never got in the back seat, she never reclined the seat. so, at this point, we pull out the picture of the toll booth and show it to him. he looks at the pictu

mr. bleming will not be on the ballot. running against mike enzi when the wyoming senate primary happens in august. i should tell you in a sort of remarkable twist, mr. bleming, the soldier of fortune guy there, he now says that his campaign platform for senate, he says, my campaign is all about the right to marry who you want and to light up a joint. he says, there's so much hate in the world and a little bit of love won't hurt anybody. i believe in total freedom and having a good time. my campaign's all about that, there's been so much stress and violence in this country. people are killing their neighbors, kids are killing their kids. maybe they need a little marijuana cigarette, maybe that would help settle things down. maybe. take it from me, the guy with the rocket propelled grenade in burma. chill out, smoke a doobie, i'm an assassin. that is pretty much the competition for mike enzi -- who otherwise in this kind of a year, he might be expected to be facing some kind of robust well funded challenge in his home state from his right flank

mike. smile! >> i am smiling! >> good day mate? >> good day mate. mr. basketball, how do you say your name? >> kawhi. >> i don't know, you tell me. you get it? >> i said kawhi. >> will you take a selfie with me? a quick one? >> are you guys better equipped against miami than you were last year? >> ah, i mean, it doesn't really matter what happened last year. we just are more experienced. >> mr. birdman. >> oh, [ bleep ]. >> hey, if you win, are you going to get a tattoo? >> yeah. >> get that sucker out of my face! >> can i rub your mohawk? >> no. >> no? can we take a selfie? >> no. >> can you take a picture of me? >> i'll take a picture of you. >> all right, wait. now it's time for my exclusive mano a manu. >> mr. manu. i have a very important question. do you have a full allergies? >> allergieallergies? no, nothing. >> what's the last movie to make you cry? oh, yeah, take a bite. what was the last movie that made you cry? >> "fried green tomatoes." >> oh, yeah? >> yeah. mine was "frozen." have you seen "frozen?" are you more anna or elsa? >> i'm anna. >> i'm an elsa. >> are you? >> one, tw

mr. williams, aye. that is it, it explained -- exclaimed mike mansfield. it was delaware's john williams, the 96 name to be called the provided the decisive 67th vote. hubert humphrey raised his arms to the heaven and winked visitors in the gallery. ever dirksen just smiled. as the roll call ended, there was one more moment of drama. waiting in the cloak room was arizona senator carl hayden, the senate's longest serving member known as the dean of the senate. hayden did not answer his name when it was called. he supported the civil rights bill. but throughout his long senate career, he had opposed cloture. he had opposed all efforts to invoke cloture. it was a matter of principle. he fully embraced the senate's tradition of unlimited debate. despite his lifelong opposition to cloture, hayden had agreed he would vote yes if and only if his vote was the deciding factor. it is all right, mike mansfield said quietly as hayden entered the chamber, we have the vote. hayden proceeded to vote no. with six wavering senators providing a four vote margin of victory,

joining us now is republican congressman mike rogers of michigan. mr.h for coming in. >> thanks for having me, wolf. >> we heard today from the white house chief of staff, denis mcdonough and jay carney saying that they've been briefing you and other intelligence committee in the senate, for example, about various negotiations going back years involving the freedom of bowe bergdahl so you shouldn't have been surprised by this weekend's development. is that good enough for you? >> oh, absolutely not. as a matter of fact, that last meeting where he talked about the house and senate where they had all of the national security chairs in the room, there was bipartisan opposition to release prisoners in an exchange and that was back in 2011. by the way, they pitched that at the time of a confidence builder into negotiating a peace agreement. so clearly that doesn't jive with what they've just been saying and to come out that forcefully and we have pretty good records in both the senate and the house, it makes no sense to me whatsoever. i don't know why they w

mr. hinojosa: i want to thank congressman mike thompson of california for joining me on this amendment. mr. speaker, my amendment to the h.r. 4800 is simple. it would increase funding for the specialty crop pest program at the department of agriculture by $2.5 million in order to provide more funding to strongly combat the invasive pests that threaten our agriculture industry. from the mediterranean fruit fly which attacks fruits and nuts throughout california to the imported fire ant that destroys corn and soybean and okra in louisiana, the need for this program is higher than it has ever been. nowhere is this more important than in my own congressional district in south texas, which is being ravaged by citrus greening. citrus greening is one of the most destructive plant diseases in the world. once a citrus tree is infected, it produces bitter, unusable fruit and kills the tree itself within a few years. there is no cure and it has proven difficult to eradicate. as a result, over half of the trees in every citrus orchard in florida have contracted this disease. right now, both cameron
