hughes took handwritten notes of the voice mail and again references the phone number and mrs. ramos's attorney and the lease number. cbs faxes the change of ownership form to her attorney. here is a copy of the fax transmission report. we know that it went through. we see at the bottom that it went through to a phone number. that phone number matches the lawyers fax number. we checked with the state bar records and confirmed that his fax number is the number this letter was faxed to. in october 2009, cbs received the lease termination letter. here is the lease termination letter. can i raise this? the lease termination letter is dated october 2009. it again references the least number and is signed by mrs. ramos. if you look at that signature, it matches all the other signatures we have seen, including the letter to ms. lamorena, which matches the lease termination letter. interestingly enough, this letter does provide -- it states, "all my inquiries to resolve this matter had failed." that is not necessarily true, since her attorney did contact cbs, and that was the only conta

>> number 514, mr. chairman. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 514, printed in the congressional record, offered by mr. price of north carolina. the chair: the gentleman from north carolina is recognized for five minutes. mr. price: i move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. price: h.r. 1 provided no funding in 2011 for firefighter hiring grants also known as safer grants. a reduction of $420 million. fortunately, yesterday, the house resoundingly overturned that ill-advised move and abandoned -- and adopted an 5e789 by mr. pascrell to restore the funding. my colleagues should be aware that funding is only part of the problem with this bill when it comes to the safer program. the underlying bill also neglects to maintain provisions enacted in fiscal years 2009 and 2010 that allowed fire departments to use these grants to rehire laid off firefighters and to prevent others from being laid off in the first place. the law traditionally permits safer grants only to be used to

mr. dicks: i strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. dicks: i appreciate the gentleman's zeal for finding savings but this goes too far without considering the impact. ndic plays an important role in analyzing and disseminating information to law enforcement and the intelligence community about the production, trafficking and consumption of illegal drugs. it produces the annual drug threat assessment as well as local and regional assessments. d.o.j. is proposing a reduced funding level in 2012, along with some of the alignment functions to the drug enforcement administration. we will have to look closely at that proposal to ensure it would not set it back in dealing with the drug case. one cannot eliminate an agency overnight. it performs significant functions that are critical to our law enforcement efforts and those functions can't be simply shut down and transferred without significant planning. nd inch c has been operating under the current c.r. for several months and has o

mr. dicks: i move to strike the requisite number of words. the gentleman has spoke twice on this issue, was that by unanimous consent? mr. terry: would the gentleman yield? mr. dicks: i want to answer my question first. the chair: the chair believes that the gentleman from nebraska spoke only once. mr. dicks: yield to me, please. mr. terry: i yield. i spoke one time right now. i don't know who you are confusing me with. mr. dicks: i thought you spoke twice, i'm sorry. the chair: the gentleman yields back. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from -- for what purpose does the member from louisiana rise? >> move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> i rise in strong support of this amendment because i think if you look across the country, of course we had a water shed election in november, if you listen to the voters, and so many of us who did hold town hall meetings who listen to people all throughout this country, people are tired of all of these government regulations that ar

mr. dicks: i move to strike the requisite number of words. the chair: you may have the last 50 seconds. mr. dicks: i was in almost all the meetings in our caws can. this bill was read provision by provision, sentence by sentence and the -- the clerk, the staffers who wrote these provisions under the direction of our chairman at that time. this was carefully considered. any idea from the gentleman from new jersey that it wasn't is just an outrageous statement on his part and he ought to be ashamed of himself. the chair: the gentlelady has 15 seconds. ms. delauro: i would just say that once again, what we're doing here, this amendment does mirror the prior amendment where we had a discussion. we keep saying it over and over again, your inability to come here as you promised to create jobs for the american people, to lower the deficit for them, and to turn the economy around has failed in this effort. the chair: all time having expired, the question son the amendment offered by the gentleman from iowa. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. i

mr. bennet, proposes an amendment numbered 117. on page -- mr. bennet: mr. president, i'd ask that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. bennet: mr. president, my second amendment provides for the establishment of three regional satellite p.t.o. offices in the next three years. the patent and trademark office has struggled to hire and retain over 6,000 examiners in a single -- in its single location in alexandria, virginia. this has resulted with one-third of examiners being at the u.s. patent and trademark office for less than three years. ideally the patent and trademark examiners would recruit examiners from all over the country leveraging regional expertise. the patent and trademark office recently recognized this weakness in our patent infrastructure by announcing an initial satellite pilot in detroit, michigan. my amendment seeks to support this effort and further connect innovators to the united states patent and trademark office. the establishment of satellite offices will help the u.s. p.t.o. r

mr. udall, proposes amendment numbered 51. mr. udall: madam president, i ask unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: madam president, i ask unanimous consent to insert my statement on this amendment in the record as if read. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. udall: madam president, just to conclude here, i want to thank our chairman of the commerce committee, jay rockefeller, both chairman rockefeller and ranking member kay bailey hutchison i think have done an excellent job on this f.a.a. authorization bill. i don't have any doubt that they working in the committee have pulled us all together, and it's a remarkable bill because it is a job-creating bill. it's a bill that we need right now with the economic slowdown we have in america. the other thing this bill does that i think is very important is update the air traffic control system, and that's something that's terribly important. it's called nextgen and we're moving on to the next

mr. bart less: i move to strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. bartlett: thank you. during the debate the strike funding for the f-35 competitive engine, you're likely to hear many statements that don't square with the facts in the program. just today i've heard it has been stated that the primary engine for the f-35 aircraft has in one case 200,000 flight test hours. another statement said 20,000 test hours. the reality is, the f-35 primary engine has, as of the end of 2010, just 680 flight test hours and has 90% of its flight testing to go. you're also likely to hear there are almost 30 u.s. military aircraft that operate with a sole source engine. that's interesting. the f-35 aircraft is a single engine aircraft. no fighter aircraft engine that's ever been required to do what the f-35 engine is required to do, provide powered flight and also power a lift fan for the short takeoff and vertical landing of the f-35-b. in fact, this challenging act of physics resulted in the f-35-b being

mr. fortenberry: number 42. the clerk: amendment number 424 printed in the congressional record offered by mr. fortenberry of nebraska. the chair: pursuant of the order of the house for today, the gentleman from nebraska and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from nebraska, mr. fortenberry. mr. fortenberry: thank you, mr. chairman. in 2008, this body passed the child soldiers prevention act. it was part of the william wilbur force prevention act. the bill declared that the united states would not provide military assistance to countries found guilty of child con subscription and we described that this is an afront to human dignity and afront to civilization itself. we made it known all children no matter where they are should be on playgrounds and not battle grounds. it is difficult for us to envision that a child would be in military clothes and gun in hand and forced to fight but it does happen. the government of chad to which we provide military assistance was

mr. moran: i rise to strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. moran: mr. chairman, i yield to ms. mccollum from minnesota to explain why the democrats on the subcommittee are very strongly opposed to this amendment. ms. mccollum? ms. mccollum: i want to make it clear while the congressman says it eliminates the u.s. forest programs, it does not. it only calls for a reduction in the budget for the department of agriculture forest service, state and private forests. should this shortsighted amendment pass, the agency would decide what to cut within this budget. that being said, the gentleman from kansas is unfairly maligned an important agency that's doing unsung work. the u.s. forest service international programs play a unique role as one of the few federal agencies working with international governments and n.g.o.'s. stops the flow of illegal wood undercutting our u.s. timber industry and costing us jobs. another example, protecting canada's western forest in partnership with ducks unl

mr. pastor: in opposition of the amendment. i strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. pastor: i join the chairman. we need a mix of energy. we cannot just rely on the mix of energy we have today where 70% of our energy is generated through coal or natural gas. rather than sacrifice our future we should be looking at closing loopholes for the oil and gas industry. and i yield back my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from california. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the nos have it. the amendment is not agreed to. for what purpose does the gentleman from new york rise? >> mr. chairman, i have an amendment at the desk, an amendment numbed number 4 in the congressional record to save 27,500 jobs in home renovation. the clerk: amendment number 4 printed in the congressional record offered by mr. tonko of new york. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. tonko: i of

mr. levin proposes amendment numbered 28. the presiding officer: the senator from hawaii. mr. inouye: mr. president, i rise today in support of the levin amendment which i believe is far superior alter national to the stabenow amendment, as it currently stands. the levin amendment offered today by -- the amendment offered today by senator stabenow proposes to rescind $44 billion from unobligated balances of appropriated funds that are designated for specific purposes in various appropriations bills previously enacted by congress. the senator offers these rescissions in order to offset the loss of revenues resulting from their amendment. mr. president, this amendment is a perfect representation of what i expect to be a flood of similar amendments and stand-alone bills that seek to eviscerate the non-defense functions of the federal government. with the exception of the proposal from the junior senator from kentucky, which had the courage to list each and every cut that he proposed, i expect that many other bills and amendments will be blanket rescissions that leave it to the ex

mr. clark. item number eight, please. >> ordinance amending the san francisco code article 12 by amending section 12. 08 to increase the fees that the kezar parking lot and making environmental findings. >> the good afternoon, supervisors. the item before you is a rate increase for the kezar lot for the monthly residential and commercial rates of the parking lot. it is a 321 space surface lot and the rates were most recently increased in 2009. since that time, and number of the adjacent parking structures have increased their rates, specifically the music concourse's garage has increased their rate to $200 monthly and the same mary's price has increased to $191. the department has brought forward this rate increase to keep our rates competitive with those surrounding. supervisor chu: a question about the timing. why did your budget include increases in revenue included with this increase in the rates? >> we have looked at this in the 10-11 budget but the determination was made that it was too soon after the

mr. paul, proposes amendment numbered 19. on page -- none of the funds made available under this act or -- mr. paul: i ask unanimous consent that the reading of the amendment be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. paul: the amendment that i've offered to the f.a.a. bill is an amendment to exempt the f.a.a. from the davis-bacon restrictions. most of us know when we talk about schools being built in our district or in our neighborhood that the cost of schools and anything built under davis-bacon, which is prevailing wages -- this means that if your carpenters usually make $14 an hour in bowling green, kentucky, the government comes in and say, you need pay them $35. so it inflates the cost of building projects and does us no good as a society. so what happens is that we can build less schools, less airports, and we're unable to have enough money in our country to provide for the things that we want. we can build build 20% to 30% me airports if we don't force union wages that are above the ma

they put ron paul at number one and mr.omney --mitt romney in second place. >> we're going to go back to the end of the cpac conference. ♪ it looks like they are wrapping up here at the marriott in washington, d.c. some of the results from the straw poll for potential presidential candidates put texas representative ron paul at number one and former massachusetts gov. mitt romney in second place. ron paul ran for president in 2008. this is the second year he won the cpac poll and also the second year that governor romney came in second place. conservatives are being cautious about their pick for 2012. more than one dozen republicans are considering a run. a number of those were in the cpac straw poll ballot today. earlier today, we heard from mississippi gov. haley barbour. we will bring in his speech again tonight starting at 10:50 eastern. president obama discussed the 2012 federal budget proposal to be unveiled next week, including a five-year federal spending freeze. republican senator orrin hatch thetah also talked abo

mr. chairman, i rise in opposition to king amendment number 267. it has been said that we are the sum total of our experiences, mr. chairman, and that is certainly true. my experience consists of growing up in a low-income minority community whose history dates back more than 150 years to slavery. i represent that district, the first district of north carolina, the fourth poorest district in the country. my constituents, mr. chairman, overwhelmingly support the affordable care act. why? my constituents know that they -- their insurance costs are soaring. exceeding more than 18% per year in increased costs. for those constituents who don't have insurance, they know that they will be able to qualify for medicaid if their income is less than 133% of the federal poverty line. my rural hospitals, mr. chairman, know that when patients walk into their emergency rooms the hospitals will be paid for their care and they will not continue to face bankruptcy. mr. chairman, this is shall -- this assault on the affordable care act is unnecessary. i ask my colleag

mr. rogers: i rise to strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. rogers: mr. chairman, h.r. 1 attempts to save the american taxpayer on a number of fronts. first, we cut $100 billion from regular government spending. second, we went a step further for the taxpayer. by rescinding the remaining balances of the failed stimulus bill, about $5 billion, if we act now. we need to act now to stop any more funds from being spent. the longer we wait, the longer we let the administration shop around with the taxpayers' hard-earned money. further, we were told the stimulus bill was the lightning bolt that would put america back to work right away. if these funds haven't been already obligated, when are the people going back to work? where is the instant impact? where are the jobs? unemployment is still over 9% in many areas of the country and upwards of 15% in other sections. if the funds have not been obligated by now, they probably weren't meant to be in the stimulus package. let's save the taxpayer

mr. dicks: i strike the requisite number of words. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. dicks: i yield to the distinguished ranking member. ms. delauro: i thank the gentleman and i would say to my colleague and friend, i might add, and my friends here, that this is in fact in the same category of a program of teach for america, the national writing project and other projects, just to name a couple, who have been designated by the majority as earmarks. this is the same category of programs. we cannot be talking about a series of programs on the one hand which are categorized as earmarks and then on the other the same -- in the same breath than, say, these because they are a specific interest to me or anyone else that in fact and they are not. if we are going to be -- if we are going to be -- really, the majority is going to be true -- if the majority is going to be true to its -- mr. young: i'm not getting in this. ms. delauro: its principle and it has been a very, very defined principle. it has been one which i

mr. baucus: my amendment number 75 be modified further with the changes that are at the desk. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. baucus: i thank my good friend from west virginia. he's a good man. mr. rockefeller: i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new hampshire. mrs. shaheen: i ask that the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. shaheen: thank you. mr. president, i'm here to speak on the legislation that's pending before us. we all know that this country faces big challenges. we face a declining infrastructure that's critical to our businesses. we need safe, reliable transportation if we're going to keep the flow of commerce moving. but, as president obama mentioned in his state of the union address, when american engineers took a look at our transportation infrastructure, they gave it a "d" grade. that's not quite failing, but it's certainly not very good. our declining infra

. >> question number one, mr. speaker. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm sure the whole house would like to join me to pray tribute to martin bell for the -- he died a true hero, showing exceptional bravery and selflessness as he went to the aid of an injured colleague. it is clear from the tributes paid that he was a well-liked soldier. our deepest and condolences should be with his family. this morning, in addition to my duties in this house, i shall have further meetings today. >> i think the premise to for the generous words about private felt. his battalion is based at the course of garrison. a characteristic of british life is this charities. does the prime minister share my concern that some local authorities and some help trusts are using the conceived cuts as an excuse to make cuts, the undermining charities with a big society complex? >> i absolutely sure the gentleman's concern. in the case of the department of health, there are cuts in the department of health budget. it is going up. but it is a very important that the department of health

mr. chairman. the number here is not $100 billion. the number on this c.r.s. report is $105.5 billion over the next 10 years. and in the bam of this fiscal year it's $4.95 billion that we're having trouble getting at. thanks to mr. rehberg, we're getting at $100 million. i believe this amendment will pass today and it will go on this c.r. and become a significant leverage point over the united states senate. other components of this that need to be ripped out, now, oh, wait, i forgot to remind you again, h.r. 2, full repeal of obamacare, i was pleased to see language that i had worked on and drafted for all those months went over to the senate where every republican voted to repeal obamacare. here we had bipartisan support for the repeal of obamacare, three times the bipartisan support described by then speaker nancy pelosi and we sat here now with america that has 2/3 of them by the polling has rejected obamacare. in this bill, another piece that reads deceptively is this, the authority for the secretary of health and human services to do interdependental tran

mr. chairman, this is the amendment preprinted in the record numbered 457. the chair: amendment 475 -- amendment 457. mr. flake: yes. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment 457 printed in the congressional record offered by mr. flake of arizona. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. flake: thank you, mr. chairman. this amendment would reduce the administration for children and families programs by $100 million with a reduction specifically targeting the community service block grant program. under this amendment the reduction would be transferred to the savings reduction account and save the taxpayers $100 million. the agency has spent $295 million on this program for fiscal year 2011. this amount of money is already out the door and an authorization requiring $10 million to be spent on discretionary activities is already out, but this amendment would essentially zero out funding for grants for the remainder of the fiscal year. the program is administered through the department of health and human servic

mr. steiner, we have a finite number of signs. someone has volunteered to move a sign. made that sign be moved -- may that sign be moved? >> prior to the removal, if a relocation is entered into and conditional use is approved, that sign can be relocated to another property and subsequently removed from the originating property. however, if the sign was removed first and then the subject of a request for relocation -- vice president garcia: a sign that 10 blocks away could be moved to this property? >> if the criteria and planning code are met, yes. there are certain properties that cannot have new signs, based on the laws. vice president garcia: i am asking specifically about this property. they could one day have another sign? >> there has not been a thorough analysis. preliminary analysis suggests a general advertising sign could be relocated to this property. president goh: i think from your reading of 602.19, this question is moot, what i am going to ask anyway. in exhibit a, there is a photograph of the sign, if you can pull it up. this is a little bit hard to see
