mr. murphy. i yield back the balance of my time. mr. murphy: i thank my friend from pennsylvania for his comments and laying out how we need to clean up our infrastructure and environment without borrowing or buying more from opec. another -- also to speak on this issue is the gentleman whose district is just north of mine, mr. altmire. mr. altmire: i thank the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. speaker, we should do this more often have a bipartisan discussion on the floor. we have debates, we have bipartisan interaction, but we don't have this type of situation occur very often where we have members from all across the country, from all political points of view, that have come together in support of a piece of legislation that is going to impact the country, it's going to impact all of our districts. there's no district in the country that's not going to see a positive benefit from the legislation we are discussing here. h.r. 1861. when i'm home, i hear from constituents all the time about infrastructure. and in southwestern pennsylvania

mr. murphy. >> a presentation? >> good afternoon, mr. wong. >> thank you for the opportunity to let me speak. i would like to talk about the john f. kennedy proposed the bike path. thank you for the update, as far as including the people with disabilities and the mayor's disability office and paratransit coordinating council, which i am members of. it seems to me when they proposed this pathway, the bike path is going to be against the proposed this pathway, the bike path is going to be against the

mr. murphy. >> a presentation? >> good afternoon, mr. wong. >> thank you for the opportunity to let me speak. i would like to talk about the john f. kennedy proposed the bike path. thank you for the update, as far as including the people with disabilities and the mayor's disability office and paratransit coordinating council, which i am members of. it seems to me when they proposed this pathway, the bike path is going to be against the curb. so everybody will have to be going across the pathway in order to get to the curb, the sidewalk. i am kind of concerned about people with disabilities, and families with strollers, having to make their way onto the curbs safely. also, even when people are paratransit users, the lift is so large -- by the time they deploy the left, it is going to be on a buffer. when the wheelchair user gets off the lift, i do not know how far into the buffer zone would be safe in order to pass to get to the sidewalk. it is one of those concerns we had talked about in many of our disability committees. i just want to

mr. friedman said -- commissioner walker: right. commissioner murphy: did you have the set of plans when you came back the second time? >> at the first hearing, mr. sweeney said prove they're used to be a deck. this is something from 35 years ago. i said there have always been a that, and he said to prove it. it did not see a deck on any of the plans. i have to go back into cold storage to find files from 25 or 35 years ago. i have a copy ofyou have a copyt that we did. b, the compliance letter from the san francisco redevelopment agency, who said that the decking platform is damaged. the certificate of completion from the redevelopment agency. furthermore, there is part of this report, done by it will no architecture firm, financed by the national endowment for the arts to renovate the building. >> if i could just mention one thing? the permit was done by the building of building inspection -- department of building inspection. >> in the first part, the attachment to no. 3, the feasibility study that was done references index four or five times -- dec

mr. murphy. chairman nolan: i would like to announce at this point, will group items 11, 12, 13 on the same subject and will call them all that once -- all at once after public comment. >> [reading names] >> good afternoon, directors. i want to extend to each of you an invitation to come by and visit luxor cab at your convenience. [applause] chairman nolan: they like what you say. >> seriously, we live like you to drop been. we don't need announcements, to a free to come by. today, i want to talk about an unwelcome taxi app. taxi mojo is currently being promoted among san francisco taxi drivers. one of its questionable features is that it allows drivers to indicate which parts of town and they wish to accept service requests from. that translates into redlining of neighborhoods. a think that is not what we want at all. the other licensed dispatch services in perfectly, admittedly, we try to provide service to the whole city. if we were to offer a redlining feature to the dispatch service, i think

mr. murphy for five minutes. mr. murphy from connecticut. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman.e add my thanks to congressman shays, your long service to our state of connecticut but also for your great work on this committee. i know how streusel you took this were. i think we're all incredibly pleased to see some real concrete proposals before us. it's not often this committee gets to see this kind of volume of good forward looking work. i want to build on representative tierney's questions about sustainability because i think this is key. i'm so glad you focus in on this issue, but your suggestion in some ways is a pretty radical suggestion, because your first ballpoint says essentially what you already repeated that we should examine completed and current projects for risk of sustainability or take action to cancel or redesign these programs. a couple pages earlier you point out that just in the next year we are going to spend $13 billion on building up security forces alone, and the total revenue coming into the afghan government today is $2 billion. not enough to even cover

mr. murphy, for five minutes. mr. murray: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks -- mr. murphy: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. murphy: most americans would be surprised that that number is $27 billion, divide that between states and you barely have enough to put some tar and chips on the road. as the president is out touting this jobs bill and talk about our crumbling infrastructure, it just isn't going to do the job. how about this number -- $129 billion to build roads and buildings and water projects. unfortunately that number is not being spent in the united states. rather that $129 billion is the number what americans pay in foreign aid to opec countries to build their roads, their palaces, their buildings. now, unfortunately that money goes to more than just their infrastructure. it also goes to countries like iran who fund their nuclear weapons programs threatening israel and the neighboring countries. it goes to iran to f

mr. o'brien. uh, no, i'm dylan murphy. mr. o'brien had a long trip. he's sleeping. oh.ring] i don't want to disturb him. we're just really excited to meet him face-to-face finally. we're faithful readers of his newsletter. newsletter? and, of course, his great book-- the big game. yes, he's very proud of his work in the, uh... big game. [snoring] you've never met him before? no. never seen a picture of him? never. not even on the book jacket? there was no picture on the book jacket. hey, o'brien, wake up. we got company. wake up! george: well, hello! i'm o'brien. hey! you took a cab? yeah. so? how much do you make? i'm not telling you. come on. i'll tell you what i make. i know what you make. i don't know why i'm doing this. i don't even like basketball. you ever see michael jordan? just in those commercials. maybe he'll do one of those 360 dunks. what's that? it's like this. you guard me. what? [cat yawls] we won't make the tip-off. someone's been tipped-off? so, uh... you've read the big game, have you? yes, i read it, and i memorized it. ooh-ooh. well... i'd love to

mr. murphy, one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from connecticut is recognized for one minute. mr. murphy: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today in strong opposition to the so-called protect life act. this bill is now egregious, over-the-top assault on america's women, their health and autonomy over their bodies. instead of doing here what we are sent here to do do, focus on jobs, instead we're talking about an extreme right-wing agenda against women. what we are talking about is going to the dark ages here. we talk about ending federal support for birth control. a debate that women in my district thought ended a generation ago. and now we're going so far as to say that women can't even have access to information about the full extent of choices as to the respect of their health care. this is a war on women. this is a distraction from job creation. we should reject this bill. we should end this assault on women's health care and we should get back to the work that we have been sent here to do

mr. murphy. >> we appreciate your canned you're, and want to make its clear, republican support for cleanver, primarily the purposes of the hearing, to protect taxpayers from potential or actual corruption, incompetence, violation office law or ignoring the law, and that's why we're having this hearing. mr. burper, tanks for being here. on february 10, 2011 you sent an e-mail to the loans program office general counsel and director of the monitoring program. aim correct on that? >> you are. >> that e-mail on tab 8 of your binder -- probably familiar with that -- in that e-mail you state that treasurery learn that d.o.e. is, quote, close to implementing a set of adjustments end quote to the solyndra guarantee and d.o. e.'s interests. >> that's right. >> what did you recommend the department of energy do? >> absent other authorities we recommended that the department of energy go seek and consult with the department of justice. >> can you describe, then, the context of this e-mail that led you to ask for department of justice consultation? >> in my experience with our client agencies, when

mr. murphy, for five minutes. mr. murphy: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, colleagues, america is not broke so republicans should stop saying it, conservative pundits should stop spreading it because this country isn't broke. now our government temporarily is and millions of american families are, but our nation is not. and my hypothesis is this. if we don't wake up to this fact soon, if we don't start investing our nation's riches in spreading wealth out across this economy, then our whole economy is sunk, whether you're rich or you're poor. so let's try to debunk this myth once and for all that america is broke, that we cannot afford these investments and let's start here. it's pretty simple. the united states is still a global leader. we are still the richest country in the world on a per capita basis. for all the talk of the rise of india and china and brazil, you take their population adjusted wealth and combine it together and they are still 50% of u.s. wealth. but so if our country's still wealthy we need to understand we made a choice to kee

mr. murphy was talking about congress affecting what the public is interested in. the christmas trees, the smashing of imports is a way to attract the public but what struck me the most in the panel discussions is that no one has trashed the media. so let me do that. [laughter] my favorite place in paris was a bookstore owned by an iranian dissident. he thought khamenei would leave power. so many of his colleagues and himself ended up back in paris. he had a special interest in the united states, which he visited frequently. the last time i saw him, i asked him what he was encouraged with in the world. and the thing now made him the most depressed in the world was seeing cbs news. he noticed only a minute and a half or two minutes were devoted to foreign affairs. he said, you are the world's superpower and you don't know anything about the world. you are not been given anything about the world, how can you exercise that authority responsibly. and now we go back to congress. when i was an academic i thought about congress as an institution. it is hard not to think a

mr. berner you answered dr. murphy's question. he asked if there were any other loan guaranty deals of concern. and your answer was you are not aware of any deals -- >> that is correct. >> did solyndra come to your attention only when it was in a workout situation? was there any point along the line when you were concerned about what was happening to solyndra before it got to the point it was in a workout situation? >> only through the news, sir. >> let me phrase this and a different way. a lot of us concerned -- are concerned because solyndra seemed to create some of its own problems by accelerating -- or department of energy 3 the problems because the solyndra was pushing because they had a photo op coming up in september of 2009, i believe with the secretary and vice president biden would its going to be brought in on the telecommunications device. you worry when there are time pressures of these loans everything is done correctly. just last week or two weeks ago the end of the fiscal year, there was a big push up having almost

mr. murphy for five minutes. >> thank you paid thank you for being here. you want to make sure it's clear republican support clean energy. as a matter of fact would love to fall through and we are however primarily the purpose is to protect taxpayers for potential or actual corruption and incompetence violations of law or ignoring the law and not why we're having this hearing. mr. burner, thank you for being here. every 10, 20 lebanese entity not to the bone's general counsel and director of the department of energy loan monitoring program. am i correct on that? >> you are convinced there. the e-mail and have a gigabyte or come you're familiar with that. in the e-mail you state treasury has learned d.o.e. is quote close to implementing a set of adjustments, unquote to the solyndra guarantee come including subordination of dealing centrist, is that correct? >> that's correct. >> would you recommend department of energy do? >> absent other authorities, we recommended the department of energy go seek and consult with the department of justice. >> can you desc

mr. murphy of pennsylvania. >> thank you. you know, i've been concerned about the way this program doubles premiums as long term health insurance and the so-called savings of health care law. as far as back in march, i said if any insurance company began collecting premiums and spend before paying a single penny in benefits, they would be prosecuted as a ponzi scheme. what's of concern here is the lack of forthrightness on behalf of hhs and the administration concerning the insolvency of the program. throughout the debate of the health care bill, i and republicans and even democrats questioned the long term solvency of the program, but the administration insisted solvency was not in question and the program would significantly reduce the deficit. in fact, the original cbo score of the class act projected savings of $70 billioning thing for half of the toe -- total deduction. secretary says now it's totally insustainable and the promised savings evaporated. the greatest concern as we uncovered evidence the committee knew it wa

mr. murphy of connecticut. >> thank you. let me add my thanks to congressman shays for your great work on this committee. i think we're all pleased to see some real concrete proposals before us. it is not often we get to see this kind of volume of could- forward-looking work. i want to talk about sustainability because i think this is key. your suggestion in some ways is a pretty radical suggestion because your first bullet point says essentially what you have repeated that we should examine current projects and take appropriate action to cancel or redesigned these programs. you point out that we will spend $13 billion on building up security forces alone and the total revenue coming into the afghan government is to billion dollars -- $2 billion. there is a lot of hope for some long term new revenue sources related to a mineral production. that is it long term pie in the sky promignosis. what are you recommending here? a suggested you cut off all programs that cannot sustain themselves is perhaps a recommendation to stop fun

mr. murphy, to preside over the committee of the whole. the chair: the house is in the committee of the whole house on the state of the union for the consideration of h.r. 1904 which the clerk will report by title. the clerk: a bill to facilitate the efficient extraction of mineral resources in southeast arizona by authorizing and directing an exchange of federal and nonfederal land and for other purposes. the chair: pursuant to the rule, the bill is considered read the first time. the gentleman from washington, mr. hastings, and the gentleman from arizona, mr. grijalva, each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from washington. mr. hastings: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, i yield myself as much time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. hastings: thank you, mr. chairman. mr. chairman, our nation has suffered through 32 consecutive months of over 8% unemployment and people everywhere across our great nation continue to ask, where are the jobs? congress' top priority right now is job cr

mr. murphy of connecticut for five minutes. >> thank you. congressman shays, i want to thank you for your work on this committee. we see some concrete proposals before us. it is not often the committee gets to see this kind about it for good, forward-looking work. i want to build on the representative's question about sustainability. is key. i am so glad you focused on this issue. your suggestion is a pretty radical suggestion. your first bullet point says essentially what you have already repeat it. we should have examined current projects for risk of sustainment failure and take actions to cancel or we design these programs. he pointed out that in the next year, we will spend $13 billion in the building up security forces along. the total revenue coming into the afghan government is $2 billion. that is not enough to cover 1/6 of the expenses of the security investment alone. there is a lot of hope for some long-term new revenue sources related to mineral production. that is a long-term buy in the sky prognosis. -- pie in the sky prognosis.

mr. murphy was talking about congress affecting what the public is interested in.ports is a way to attract the public but what struck me the most in the panel discussions is that no one has trashed the media. so let me do that. my favorite place in paris was a bookstore owned by an iranian dissident. he had been part of the revolution that brought coming into power. he thought khamenei would leave power. so many of his colleagues and himself ended up back in paris. he had a special interest in the united states, which he visited frequently. the last time i saw him, i asked him what he was encouraged with in the world. and the thing now made him the most depressed in the world was seeing cbs news. he noticed only a minute and a half or two minutes were devoted to foreign affairs. he said, you are the world's superpower and you don't know anything about the world. you are not been given anything about the world, how can you exercise that authority responsibly. and now we go back to congress. when i was an academic i thought about congress as an institution. this as p

mr. murphy: china's manipulation of their currency has cost us jobs in kentucky and around the country. our workers and businesses deserve a level playing field and this bill will help ensure that. since china joined the w.t.o. our trade deficit with china has rose from $84 billion to $270 billion. in that same period of time, kentucky, my home state, has lost 31,000 jobs and our country has lost 2.8 million jobs. 1.9 million of them in manufacturing. companies throughout kentucky are demain -- connecticut are demaining -- demanding that we finally do something about these unfair practices which subsidize chinese exports. everyone from the manufacturers that i have surveyed to the people i run into in grocery stores understand that china is cheating on their currency. and with more than 160,000 people in connecticut out of work, it is long past time for the leadership of this house to allow a vote on this floor, on legislation to take china to task for their unfair practices and to strengthen american workers and businesses. let's pass this job-creating legislation now. i yield back. th
