mr. miller. i'm curious there has been a lot of discussion about licensed or certified and the certified general. since you are an appraiser and you own a business that stabs appraisers i'm curious what your experience is with the proportion of appraisers that are used. is it higher or lower for license versus certified and is there significant a significant difference they are? >> thank you for the question. we have no one that is licensed and what we find is there's almost no point. if you're going to get licensed you really just need to get certified which is basically a bit more education and it's a universally accepted licensing, it's something that's not accepted but we are in a high-cost housing market and certification is the expectation of our client base in banking and nonbanking as well. to follow up on that what reasons do you think are behind an entity's willingness to accept an appraiser versus a certified appraiser and do you think they have a lack of confidence in a licensed appra

mr. miller on this question and maybe go to mr. williams. we now at hud, just because you are on an appraiser roster does not mean you get used to. in fact we were just looking at our roster the other day. we were looking for something else. we were looking at what happened to our roster in terms of diversity. then significantly reduce the people of color that we were able to use but we also noticed women are very disproportionately underused relative to the number who are on our roster. this underscores something you mentioned during your testimony which is the importance and i think you mentioned also, the importance of having appraisers used once they are qualified however we are getting them qualified. they are learning the business through agh simulator course at any kind of alternatives we come up with it's really important to get the industry to accept them and to start using them if we have them but don't use w them s not going to change. i would like you to talk about both how we can get the industry also once have been formally acc

mrs. miller-meeks: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today in opposition to president biden's student loan bailout. as iowans know, a loan taken out is a loan that must be repaid. democrats and the biden administration are continuing to push to forgive student loans with results of those costing transfer to other hardworking taxpayers this. decision is irresponsible, unfair, and undercuts students who worked to afford tuition and parents who sacrificed and save for opportunity of a college education. student loans shouldn't be viewed any differently than a mortgage or car loan. money taken out must be paid back by those who benefit. moving forward it's crucial we ensure our students are equipped with the guidance needed to make an informed decision and they understand the process to pay the loans back. if we help our students understand the process and ultimate cost of federal student loans, they will use this information in making wiser decisions. thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to recognize posttraumatic stress disorder aw

mr. miller, if germany had the f sixteens, but it goods. and then are you saying that it would have the green light from the german government to do that? i don't know because this question doesn't pose. it's us because we don't have a f sixteens um, but it's not, it's not a currently a topic and building, but it, but it's convenient for the political leaders at the moment. when you look at the polls that show a majority of germans or against sending any fighting jet street, you crate. i mean, it's easy for politicians to say we, we don't have to do this, right? it can be later in months and yes, if they have no f sixteens anymore in ukraine, that we come and discuss a sending you're a fight us. but today, and this month's uh, this is, this is not the topic. so i don't see these lines in the sense currently. let me ask you, we of tried to get an answer from the german chancellor. he hasn't been willing to give us a clear definition of yet. so let me ask you, what does victory for ukraine look like from a german perspective? yes, we have thi

mrs. miller: thank you, congresswoman luna, for leading on this resolution. representative schiff used his position as the chairman of the house intelligence committee to mislead the american people by falsely claiming there was classified evidence of russia colluding with president trump which was not true. the mueller report and the durham report make clear that the russian collusion hopes was a political lie designed to hurt president trump and mislead the american people. representative schiff used the intelligence committee to advance a political narrative against his political opponents, which violated the important nonpartisan tradition of the committee. i am proud to join my colleagues today in holding representative schiff accountable for his actions because the american people deserve justice. thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the manager reserves. the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. raskin: i recognize the gentleman from california, the chairman of the democratic caucus and a former member of the january 6 select commi

mrs. miller-meeks: can you explain to the committee what data the c.d.c. reviewed when developing the school reopening guidance. whether the c.d.c. considered the american journal of pediatric study, or sweden, or iceland. and did you consider data and information from school systems that were already opened in developing the guidance? additionally will you admit that covid transtransmission in schools, especially elementary, was low enough to not justify school closures? dr. walensky: thank you so much for that question, dr. miller-meeks. as part of our scientific brief when we released -- to be clear it was not a document to close schools. many of the schools were already closed. this is guidance to get them opened and keep them opened. in the scientific reset went along with that operational guidance we had reviewed publish cautions from the u.k., israel, switzerland, norway, and more. can i tell you there was not a lot of published data from sweden. there was a study subsequently from sweden that demonstrated sweden schools that had in person learning,

van drew: thank you, mrs. miller-meeks for the work you do and the difference you make. i now yield to my friend from california, mr. doug la mallfavment mr. lamalfa: thank you for yielding me time, my friend and colleague from new jersey. appreciate it. you know, talking on the issue of campaign, campaign being used for buying vote, the president back in his 2020 campaign, he promised to cancel up to $10,000 of federal student loan debt per borrower. of course after his election, he called for the 117th congress to pass a bill to facilitate 10,000 in student loan forgiveness. when he first announced his attempt to forgive the debt, for those who need it most, was in august of 2022. since then the plan has been mired in pushback from the judiciary and legislative branches of the government. it isn't even seen as legal or constitutional. is the charge. the main legal argument for forgiving student loan sthes 2003 heroes act, a bill that provides reservists and their families relief from making student loan payment, also allows theoretically the executive branch to cancel s

mrs. miller mr. meeks: thank you, madam -- mrs. miller-meeks: thank you, madam speaker. i rise in support of my resolution, h.res. 461, which bans the biden administration from using schools to house illegal aliens. as a mother and a physician, i do not see how my colleagues on the other side of the aisle can let this stand. using school facilities as shelter for illegal aliens instead of as schools, as they were intended, creates a host of issues ranging from safety hazards for young children to a freefall of security issues as a result of not providing adequate accommodations or security screenings. as a minimum, it deprives students their space for recess and physical education and imposes financial burdens on schools for cleaning and housing. municipalities such as new york city are using school gymnasiums as overflow housing for illegal aliens. it's easy to be a sanctuary city when you're not affected by the border until the biden administration opens those borders. diverting educational resources to illegal aliens or any demographic and not in a natural disaster, a

mr. miller's daughter. in their letter they wrote, the thought of going back to endless courtroom proceedings when more than ten years of litigation did not lead to trial is painful. returning to pretrial he purgatory will -- pretile purgatory will not -- pergory will not -- this will not be the full measure of justice these families deserve. sadly, sadly this is no longer possible. because these families were robbed of true justice when the administration at the time decided to torture and abuse detainees in our nation's custody and throw them into an untested legal black hole rather than trusting america's time-honored system of justice. as ted olsen wrote, and i quote, nothing will bring back the thousands whose lives were cruelly taken that september day, but we must face reality and bring the process to an end. the american legal system must close the book on military commissionings and secure guilty pleas. the biden administration must complete the inner agency process to determine the plea deals with

mr. miller, assume that there will be a 2% increase in assessed values or i mean, i think most people would assume that these early foreclosure orders are the harbinger of much to come. so what is the analysis? is the analysis only based on prior year data, or does it contemplate a new environment going forward? it's based on prior data actually. i think the sizing itself is based on the current year, not on any growth projections. so with respect to the size, the size of the issuance, we're not assuming anything more than what we already have. this current year . as i mentioned, there was growth last year at 6% and the av and we you know, we'll it's really hard to say what's going to happen with it. we've been through cycles before where it sounded like it was going to be an disaster, but it didn't materialize that way. there were some decreases, but only in particular sectors. if i may. sure commissioners. i believe most of these bonds are 30 year bond terms and so when you look at a 2% growth average, that's average across 30 years. and so when you look back retrospect at 6% growth, as w

. >> dwron mijohn miller, how wil complicated preparations for mr.urthouse on tuesday, how will that impact the way trump's arrest will play out? >> so that's complicated. you have the secret service that will be with him and they will be bringing him and transporting him, but then you have the fbi who takes him into custody. at that point the secret service steps back because once he is arrested he's property of the fbi. this is where the logistical stuff gets kind of fuzzy because normally he would go to the fbi office in miami which is pretty far away from the federal courthouse and they would book him and fingerprint him and take his mug shots and then bring him to the courthouse. in this case what they're talking about today is is that going to be the way that they do it, the regular way, or are they going to find a way to do a booking process at the courthouse so that they can get him into a conference room and directly to the courtroom for the arraignment? all of this is the moving parts that have to go between secret service, fbi, the court,
