mr. morales. >> why don't you all understand that? it is a mystery. >> trichet commissioner murphy: thank you -- commissioner murphy: thank you, sir. >> i like to move to approve the notice put together by the and that is before us regarding address changes. i think we have discussed this a lot. i think the way that we have the procedure and the new rules and the new notification will make sure that tenants are advised within the time limit so that they can properly deal with these issues instead of missing their opportunity. i think it is a really good solution to the problem that we have been made aware of, and i like to move to forward it. >> second. >> we have a motion and a second. all those in favor? those opposed? and there is that one correction that needs to be made. item seven, discussion and possible action regarding a new administrative bulletin, guidelines for the structural review of continuous tied down systems used to resist overturning of white frame would shear walls. >> i have some concern about the language. i do n

balancing the budget on the backs of working folks is a moral crime. mr. speaker, this republican continuing resolution is not only a pass to family bankruptcies but is in itself an irresponsible plan that is morally bankrupt. i yield back. ms. christensen: thank you, congressman richmond for your contribution to this black history month special order and for pointing out the injustice in h.r. 1. and the proposed stopgap measure for the next two weeks. at this time i'd like to yield to the gentlewoman from texas, a person much admired by everyone across this country who represent her district, this congress, and this country with outstanding distinction, congresswoman sheila jackson lee. ms. jackson lee: i thank the gentlelady from the virgin islands and will join the ago a laids and my -- accolades and my fellow colleagues to express my appreciation for her leadership and as well to thank her for leading this one hour on the celebration of african-american history month. thank you very much, mr. speaker. and i stand to acknowledge that all of us who have t

mr. moranan oh, morality trumped greed. in a recent column in forbes magazine, a law professor explains the dangers related to waiver and how the waiver process can undermine the rule of law. "waivers are by definition an exercise of administrative discretion that benefits the party who receives its special dispensation. nothing in obamacare explains who should receive these waivers or why. the dangers from this uncertainty are enormous. without major steps to overhaul or repeal obamacare, government by waiver will become standard operating procedure to the detriment of us all." end of quotation. madam president, if this bill that was written behind closed doors creates a huge uncertainty and problems for job-creating businesses and their employees, and now waivers are being dispensed by the administration to protect almost 2.3 million people from the very law that it fought so hard to get passed. this is yet one more confirmation that the law is deeply flawed and one more reason why it should be repealed in its entirety. n

mr. president, we just want to help raise the morale there to give these people bargaining rights -- the presiding officer: the senator's consumed five minutes. mr. harkin: i'll take one more minute. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. harkin: they can bargain on grievance procedures. that helps on morale. nonemergency scheduling helps on morale. awards and recognitions, uniforms, bidding on shifts and procedures used for how they bid on shifts. who gets the 2:00 a.m. shift. all emergency type of situations. this will help give them a better morale and i think help in terms of insuring security. don't take my word for it. take the administrator's word for it, administrator john pistole, who said this will help ensure the safety of the traveling public. i reserve the balance of our time. mr. wicker: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from mississippi. mr. wicker: i yield myself five minutes. and, of course, i rise in support of the wicker amendment. senator collins, who spoke earlier, is a cosponsor of this amendment. i might also note that senator coburn has joine

mr. roker and ms. morales. what's coming up? >> we have great deals -- >> anybody. >> anyone?ffair for will and kate. the royal palace announcing the best man and maid of honor and new details about the wedding party for the upcoming fairytale event in april. we'll have the latest from london and then in "today's" real estate, creative ways to make your home stand out from the rest and what to do if your neighbor is not only bringing you down, but bringing down the value of your property. barbara corcoran will be here to help out. >> with a very tall fence probably. plus, it's valentine's day. what better time to look at great getaways from a coastal retreat to a colorado city resort. you can book today and surprise your sweetheart this evening. >> we're on a plane. >> pack your bags. >> let's go inside to the news desk. ann has the headlines. >> good morning, everybody. in the news tahrir square is largely empty today. protesters are cleared as the military tries to return the city to normal. they have dissolved parliament and suspended the constitution aiming to cut ties wit

government's right to enforce those moral beliefs marks a blow to said libertarians and rand royds just another flavor of conservative wingnut on you tube we got a response from miss mr no face he said libertarians overlap with conservatives on small government mainly after that the similarities get pretty thin now says the wall most political science teachers will tell you that libertarians aren't true conservatives and instead are mixed ideology i feel the libertarians actually have more in common with our nation's founders than today's pro-war overspending prohibitionist conservatives libertarians are the future of the conservative movement and one viewer who goes by dr ron paul responded with libertarians believe in small government conservatives believe in the military industrial complex now as always we appreciate your input on these topics and here is our next question for you we spoke about protests in egypt which ultimately led to a revolution a change in government and there are several other countries following suit right now with protests yemen buffering algeria just to name a few but what about the us are our days of revolution over so that's our questio

completely persuaded that sometimes states are morally required to grant legal status to people who are in regular immigrants. of course i would never deport mrs. drummond. but i wonder what we should do practically. are we going to encode in law and amnesty policy? >> that is my proposal. it is not just hypothetical. the french had such a law that worked perfectly well if you established you had lived there for seven years without authorization you would be given legal status. as a practical matter if you say we are worried about getting too many people in, this is an invitation, then the focus has to be another area where we agree on employer sanctions. you removed the incentives for people to work so we accept the premise that you control these things. the focus should be on the employer's. serious regulation of employer sanctions. and maybe another technique that needs to be used is id cards. these things run into -- there are tensions among these things. projected employer sanction the use in a discriminatory way. that is a relevant moral consideration so it is often the case that whatever policy we adopt there will be objections to it wh

side with congressman luis gutierrez to make that happen, because it's the right and moral thing to do in our country. >> mr. emanual -- [ applause ] >> please! mr. emmanuel. >> i'm the grandson of an immigrant who came from eastern europe here to chicago. the son of an immigrant who came in 1959. i worked tirelessly in congress, in making sure that we every year -- i co sponsored and voted for comprehensive reform. and also opposed republican efforts to politic size the issue. and my office worked many times, there is not a week that goes by that somebody doesn't come up to me and thank me for helping them get naturalization and citizenship here in the country. third in the city. third, i would also keep our policy as a sanctuary city. and i've also introduced a chicago version of the dream act. so individuals here who came here with their parents have the opportunity to go to college, which is a dream of every immigrant parent when they come to america, is that their kids get a better future. that is a policy that we need, maintaining our sanctuary policy here as a city. i've done it both as a member of c

attracted by the ambiguity and swinging moral compass that has always made his plots and characters more interesting. >> have you ever had any homosexual experiences, mrjob. same as yourself i suppose. >> reporter: the secret of john le carre's success in books and in movies is his ability not just to see the frailties of the human condition but to involve and even play with his audience. >> i love the art of building up tension, of this relationship with the writer or the film maker has to the audience. that sometimes the audience is ahead of what's going on. sometimes the audience is behind what's going on. it doesn't know. hitchcock talked a lot about that. i think a lot about that. the audience is, my reader is comfortable here, he thinks he knows everything but then reverses and then discomfort and bring him forward again. >> what about smiley. >> reporter: now one of his classic book and tv titles, tinker tailor soldier spy, is being remade into a feature film with gary oldman as george smiley. john le carre's spies live in a world of shades of gray. none of the good guy/bad guy clarity of the james bond world. that is not an accident.

mr. pence: i believe that ending an innocent human life is morally wrong. but i rise tonight because i also believe it's morally wrong to take the taxpayer that ares of millions of pro-life americans and use it to fund organizations that provide and promote abortion. like planned parenthood of america. the american people deserve to know that planned parenthood is not only the largest abortion provider in america, planned parenthood is also the largest recipient of taxpayer funding under title 10. according to their latest annual report they received more than $363 million in taxpayer money. while boasting of having performed an unprecedented 324 ,008 abortions in the same year. the amendment i bring to the floor tonight would deny any and all funding to planned parenthood federation of america and its affiliaters in rest of the fiscal year. but let me be clear. this amendment would not cut funding for health services. it would simply block those funds already in the bill from subsidizing america's largest abortion provider. now i am aware that title 10 fam

mr. clyburn, the gentleman from south carolina, who has been a leader for his state, for the congress, and for our country, particularly a leader of high moral who leads this country in making sure that we stay true to the values that this country was founded on and continue to operate in that vein. i yield such time as he might consume to mr. clyburn. speaker clyburn: i thank the gentlelady for yielding me this time and thank her for her tremendous leadership on this and many other areas that come before this congress. i want to get a few moments to talk about an issue that's very, very important to a significant number of citizens in our great country. the warden school of business recently held a conference named in honor of whitney young , a leader and friend in the struggle for social justice, equality, and civil rights. whitney young is probably known best for growing and transforming the urban league from a sleepy little organization into one of the country's biggest and most aggressive crusaders for social justice. what he is less known for is for his call, for a domestic marshall plan, a program to eradicate poverty and provisions i

on morale of the service members, on their families, the consequence of them not feeling secure about their military futures. some people have been so dedicated to our country. with that in mind, mr. secretary, what flexibility will there be for the service chiefs in terms of the conditions? it is my view that the conditions have changed in the last month with the instability in the middle east, the potential facing an asymmetric enemy on a broader scale that would require more troops on the ground. >> i think you are concerned about an asymmetric threat -- it is correct. i will tell you that i think those who will face this asymmetric threat to the greatest extent are the air force and the navy. particularly as we look at capabilities that china and others are developing, the kind of activities the iranians are engaged in, the north koreans, and so on. that is why we put a freeze on the air force and the navy in 2007 and drew down their personnel. we stopped that. there are no drawdowns planned for the air force and the navy. as i said earlier, the marine corps -- this is their idea. you need to speak to general a mess and get his thinking and logic as to why the marine corps ou

mr. speaker, with unemployment in my california district, over 14% and unemployment in the construction industry above 20%, these so-called crony contracts are not only wrong, they are i am moral. instead of an executive order, what we need from the white house is a cease and desist order. simply put, project labor agreements mandating union-labor only are anticompetitive. the big dig in boston is clearly the biggest boondoggle of them all. originally projected to cost $3 billion, this three-mile tunnel project turned out to be one of the most expensive highway projects in u.s. history. at last count, the meter is running, $15 billion in construction costs and another $7 billion in interest alone. when it's all said and done, the big dig is going to cost us $1.2 million per foot. not only do these p.l.a.'s waste taxpayer money, but they are almost un-american. 15% of our construction workers are unionized. every time it is mandated by a government bureaucrat, 75% of america's construction workers, 8 million hard working men and women are told, tough luck, too bad or maybe next time. since 2007, nearly 2 million construction workers across america have lost their jobs. enough a
