mr. miller being critical of a range of things, deluding mr. er with you cheering him on attacking president obama for his response. >> may i finish -- >> bill: we asked why the term jihad -- >> may i finish? he was critical -- >> bill: all that is -- >> bill, can i -- i know the ground rules, can i know the ground rules? do i get to talk? mr. miller was critical of the president. his right. dividing the country, the country is divided as it should be in a democracy. referring to existing divisions is not polarizing. i didn't know you were close to polarizing. i couldn't tell that from watching your show. that is legitimate. appropriate to talk about sympathy and horror but i was asked about the reaction and that is my reaction. that's legitimate debate. you said not the day after. two days after? three days after? when is it appropriate? i heard it being appropriate -- not political but saying what they thought the pub luck policy ought to be that week. >> bill: all right, look. we have two positions, my position and what i call for on the nigh

mr. miller, thank you for being with us. we appreciate it. >> you're welcome. >> alan miller, ceo of universal health services. >> finally, tonight, investors are always trying to find an edge and in the 21st century, using essential media is growing exponentially on main street and now wall street. when it comes if-to-finance, ka kayla tousci tells us it's a risky business. >> twitter, facebook, stock twit and now google. where new research suggests search history could hold clues to predict the market, but using that information is a viral game of risk to be sure. >> we saw a big jump in sentiment last week. >> in 2011, paul hutton, an english entrepreneur and johan boll an, an indiana university pressor, claimed to have found a formula that would mine twitter. hailed as revolutionary. >> social media enabled to us take a large set of data from a large audience that we couldn't really do before. and it needs a lot of refinement and used in the right way, but certainly -- certainly really interesting from our point of view,

mr. jeff millerv, alameda creek alliance. ~ welcome. >>> this one, is this one on? good afternoon, commissioners. thank you for the opportunity. jeff miller, alameda creek alliance. i want to echo [speaker not understood]. it's doing good things in the alameda creek watershed. i'm glad mr. jensen withdrew that suggestion. i certainly hope the commission doesn't view the improvement program as a slush fund to be looted, to cover other overruns. in fact, i believe wiip is one of the wisest improvement program elements that is not over budget. so, i hope that it won't be looted. and it also is less than 1% of the funding for the wsip, a pretty modest amount. so, please keep that intact. then i also wanted to address the project that was -- the alameda creek recapture project which was called out as probably the last wsip project to be completed on alameda creek. we've been interacting with that project for about 10 years or no longer than that, probably about 13 years. i've come here a couple times before you. we've been in pretty constant communication with your staff. we see some good things industry wise, project particularly the new desi

mr. miller, let's continue with you. you've given us a great list. win obamacare was enacted into law, you wrote that the program was designed in a way that would lead to an inevitable problem. what principle feature of the principal features, if you could name a couple of preset, allegedly the program would run out of funding? >> it was weighed down by the larger law, but within the provisions of pcip, the two core provisions of course our design is within six much required for uninsured coverage, which created a flaw from the start. and secondly, the massive underfunding relative with the potential range of the problem was. the only reason why some budget estimates said we might get under the white on this, ceo sibley said we will close down the program when they run out of money. the actuary to readjust basically said the same thing. been provisions written into the law for the pcip administers or hhs to carry out the worst practices of the private insurance they blame which is a simply run out of money, we half of the benefits come close the door

waterboarding or mental and physical stress psychological torture as well and then we had then we had mr miller ultimately officer in the u.s. army geoffrey miller he commanded the u.s. detention facilities or guantanamo bay in cuba and iraq in fact he was also overseeing abu ghraib prison in iraq of course a scandal that lives on in for me jeffrey harbison another one here he's also on the list the so-called guantanamo bay list us u.s. states navy former commandant of the joint task force one tunnel also he was required to oversee human rights abuses at guantanamo bay one time a bay in cuba so we do know right here we have a this part of the list of the so-called of guantanamo bay list right ferrari were really seems like well some top officials here we've got on the list but we've already started receiving some comments coming from russia's foreign ministry now said again lavrov said that these sanctions list includes figures. as you just mentioned involved in torture add guantanamo detention and it is really a war off lists and not over we're making but russia cannot ignore outright blackmai

mr. miller. >>> thank you. ~ >> i'm going to put that in my calendar. [laughter] >> any other public comments? arthur? you heard the call for you to rescind your resignation, i'm sure. >>> yeah, right. so i can come back and -- no, [laughter] >> >>> don't go there. thank you, mr. president. >> you have until 20 50 to go fishing in your retirement. >>> i'll meet you there. >> there you go. >>> we'll come back for that. now that i helped save them by removing my earlier remark. a couple of things i wanted to start with. first of all, the program should and must go forward. calaveras dam is too important. you were good to highlight that in your questions to ms. labonte. it is the flagship reservoir. it's the largest one you have in the bay area. it's absolutely vital for earthquake protection and drought protection. more on that in a moment. so, we support all the recommendations and the supervisors' appropriation, all of those things if you need us to come and say that to them, we would be glad to do so. we did have concerns about the budget. you are now

mr. miller. this is a city problem, you know, and it's on all of us, it's on everyone in this building to come up with that plan. but we have not done that. and that is going to be a real problem for our city. >> yeah, no, i understand. i'm not sure how to respond to that. i mean, i think that we're -- again, we've had challenges and i think this is going to be an ongoing challenge. it's the other thing we're doing with this tsip program, putting money into new growth. as we all talk about when we get into more of the presentation, we have -- the city facilities, of course, and we have earthquakes and those things that create a big backlog and a liability as well, so, how do we balance those liabilities with the other liabilities. and i'm not trying to -- you know, i'm not trying to say that what you're talking about muni is not significant, but what we're also trying to do is work with the impact fees, work on some of the new growth, work with the mayor's office of economic development, work wit

mr. miller. this is a city problem, you know, and it's on all of us, it's on everyone in this building to come up with that plan. but we have not done that. and that is going to be a real problem for our city. >> yeah, no, i understand. i'm not sure how to respond to that. i mean, i think that we're -- again, we've had challenges and i think this is going to be an ongoing challenge. it's the other thing we're

mr. miller obviously knows more than i do, but i think there's still an awful lot that we don't know abouthat these guys were doing when they were outside of the country, what their real motivations were and obviously, one of them we will never be able to talk to. so the one thing i think we know for sure is that when it happens the next time, it will be different from this time. we need to learn everything we can from this episode, but we shouldn't think that these problems are ever solved completely once and for all. >> you're speaking at the dedication ceremony for the george w. bush presidential library. all the presidents were there. obviously george w. bush launched this war on terror. are we now seeing the second phase? as john miller suggested earlier, it's moved away perhaps from al qaeda in the sense of how we understood al qaeda to operate, to kind of wanna-be al qaeda-like groups, like these two brothers who are acting in the manner of al qaeda. is that the new phase of the war on terror? >> well, i think it's a little early to say that al qaeda's not part of the problem as wel

mr. george miller, will each control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from -- the gentleman. mr. kline: i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 1120. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. kline: mr. speaker, i rise today in strong support of the preventing greater uncertainty in labor management relations act, and i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. kline: thank you, mr. speaker. america's workplaces are facing significant challenges, consumer demand remains weak, threats of new regulations and higher taxes continue, and a loomling debt crisis threatens the growth and prosperity our nation is working so hard to obtain. washington should not be in the business of making these challenges worse, and that is why we are here today. many americans may not even know a federal labor board exists, let alone the role it plays in their everyday lives.

mr. miller band of the u.k. and foreign minister khrushchev and they were in new york and put together this resolution. none of their heads of government actually at east said they liked the language. i had a couple conversations with national security adviser who assured me that if you voted against, vetoed, that resolution, so would france and france voted yes. but he called it the revolt of the foreign ministers. what did the president do? they said to him the resolution, you can't end the administration on this subject. voting for a resolution that treats israel and the palestinian terrorist group hamas equally. they didn't want to repudiate the secretary of state. and the only time in eight years, everyone on the security council resolution. which is in a certain way we never really hit the state department pursuing new and different policy. let me go back to the beginning. the intifada, inability to start the peace process and then comes 9/11. i don't really think the president had a middle east policy bef

mrs. miller: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that the committee on house administration be discharged from further consideration of house resolution 142 and ask for its immediate consideration in the house. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. he house will come to order. the clerk will report the title of the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 142, resolved, section 1, election of members on joint committee of congress on library and printing. a, joint committee on progress on the library, the following members are hereby elected to the joint committee of congress on the library to serve chair of committee on house administration and chair of the subcommittee on legislative branch of the committee on appropriations, one, mr. harper, two, mr. brady of pennsylvania. three, ms. zoe lofgren of california, c, join committeing on printing. the following members are hereby elected to the joint committee on printing to serve with the chair on the committee on house administration. o

mr. matthew miller, he wants to convert my building into a tic unit and sell the individual units to buyers. i'm one of the last remaining tenants in my building. like other tenants i'm not opposed to tic owners who need to refinance or have financial difficulty. however, the concurrent proposed legislation without amendments will not address the issue or protect myself and others from some of the san francisco's most vulnerable. at the same time this would effectively prevent property owners from loopholes. my husband and i are elderly. i take care of my adult daughter with needs. [speaker not understood]. living in the city is one of the few choices we have. i don't drive. my dower needs to attend special adult needs dare de care nearby. we don't speak english. my basic he necessities in life are all rooted in the community and san francisco. the neighborhood i live has changed profoundly. many of my neighbors have been evicted or bought out and many have received eviction notices and not far from the steps of my block a group of seniors have been threatened with eviction by their landlor

mr. miller. thank you for being here today to spend the afternoon with us. want to thank you for all your service, all the years of service to the i.r.s. and our country and all the employees as well. want to specifically compliment the agency to be removed from the high risked list, think is a giant step forward. according to the i.r.s. oversight board, 72% of americans believe they have a civil duty to pay their fair share of the taxes. but because our tax code is so complicated that this is easier said than done sometimes. so because of that it falls to the i.r.s. to help individuals correctly file their tax returns, pay their taxes and it also falls on you to investigate and find individuals who are trying to cheat. i know authorizing committees are working on tax reform and hopefully, this effort will include to make the tax code more understandable, more simple, and, therefore, easier for them to comply with and easier for you to enforce. you're also responsible for administrating numerous tax credit programs. obviously, that is a very troubling number

mrs. miller: i thank the gentleman for yielding me time. let me read for our colleagues the preamble of the constitution. we the people of the united states, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish the constitution for the united states of america. madam speaker, great statement that is the foundation for our federal government provides us a direction that we need to our primary responsibilities. i would suggest that this legislation helps us fulfill every one of the responsibilities mandated on us by our constitution. let's just take them one by one. establish justice. it is just to protect american companies from the theft of their intellectual property by attackers and by competitors. ensure domestic tranquility. can you even imagine the threat to domestic tranquility if our power grid is successfully attacked by a foreign state like north k

mr. miller. >> thank you. i want to thank you for coming down to my area next month, hich is -- you coming there 14 years ago. it is a under yutety liesed airport today. -- under utilized airport. if you look at los angeles and long beach, they make up the largest airport complex in the united states. some people think the economy is down but if you look at part of long beach in 2010 they set a record, all-time high for movement coming through our area. this panel plays an important role in efficient flow across the country. i'm excited to be on this panel. it's a huge issue in our region. if you look at union pacific, it is a major, major connection of rail throughout the united states from coming in from the long beach and the l.a. harbor. but california's trade corridor is huge. the freight arrives in southern california ports and transported by rail and trucks and distributed throughout southern california. if you go down there you will see the impact of rail and the impact of truck traffic going to those

mr. edward miller band. -- milliband. >> i want to join him in sending my deepest condolences to her children, carol and mark. the whole family and her many close friends. today is an opportunity for us to reflect on margaret thatcher's personal achievements, her style of politics and her political legacy. as the prime minister said, the journey from being the child of a grocer to downing street is an unlikely one. it is particularly remarkable because she was the daughter, not the son of a grocer. at each stage for life she broke the mold. a single woman in the university who held a full professorship. a woman chemist when most people assume scientists had to be men. i woman candidate for parliament in 1950, against the opposition in her local arty -- party at the age of 24. 14%man mp in 1959 when just middle of the house were women. the only woman in the cabinets, ,hen she was appointed in 1970 and the first woman prime minister. it is no wonder she remarked as inly as 1965 in a speech, politics, if you want anything said, ask a man. if you want anything done, ask a woman.

mr. mayor. >> hi, i am lana miller, with hu hunter's point family. and i have so many things to talk about and so many things we are passionate and work on. now i am here in my role as a member of the mental health board and particularly for trauma and community related violence. i know for the last years barbara garcia has counted mental services in d-10 as community and violence and trauka. and for years we have talked about it and talked about it and when we try to engage the department of health, we got yes we understand it's a priority but we don't know what to do. in november/october last year in 20 2012, we had the southeast mental health summit around trauma. and a large segment of the community and dph and we put together a plan that was adopted by the san francisco mental health board. and signed on by all community-based organizations that provide mental health services. i am saying that we have a plan in d-10 and we know how to get started. now it's time to quit saying it's a problem but don't know what to do. but invest dollars into an i

mr. miller, as at april the first, 2013, nearly 7 million young adults up to the age of 26 now health insuranceo their parents insurance plan. could you talk about changes to the tax code they were necessary to implement this provision? >> so, i think mr. davis, that you are referring to a number of changes obviously made as part of the aca bill. one of them extended the employer exclusion for health coverage, the fact we don't get taxed if the employer provides health coverage to her children, for a later age. previously, your child or dependent needed to be 19 years -- less than 19 years old boy full-time student in 24 and the new rule is unfortunately our kids are staying with us a little longer, that they can be covered on your plan without adverse tax consequences to your taxes. >> the affordable care and concern he delivered many benefits to millions of people. for example, 100 million americans have received one or more free preventive services and 105 million americans have had a lifetime limit on the coverage eliminated. these are the beginning of the health benefits americans will rec
