mr. nunes: thank you, madam speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and to include extraneous material on the subject of the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. nunes: madam speaker, before i yield to my good friend who helped co-author this bill with me, i would just have a brief -- just a brief statement. the expatriate health coverage clarification act is a work of close bipartisan collaboration and extensive discussions with the obama administration. i would like to thank mr. carney for his work on this important bill, along with our numerous bipartisan co-sponsors, original co-sponsors. the bottom line is that this is a jobs bill, one that has been carefully drafted to address the unique problems related to expat health insurance. madam speaker, at this time i yield six minutes to my friend, mr. carney from delaware. mr. carney: thank you. i want to thank the gentleman for yiel

. >> before mr. nunes i just want to clarify, how does the term al qaeda, how would that disclose classified sources number one and then secondly you also take out islamic extremists. >> i did not take out extremists. i took out the word islamic in front of extremist and i took it out for two reasons. most importantly i took it out because we were dealing with protests and demonstrations across much of the muslim world as a result of the video and the last thing i wanted to do was to do anything to further inflame those passions so that is why i took the word islamic out. it was a risk judgment. the second reason i took it out is because what other kind of extremists are there in libya? >> just for clarification on the record, in the memo you have in front of you you'd drew a line to the sentence. that being said there are indications islamic extremist participated in that line goes for all of that. >> that was a mistake and you will see in the final talking points that is back in the talking points. >> ju

again what we heard behind closed doors from people on the ground is that as mr. nunesjust said it was an outlier report. one, that this was in fact a protest. everything else he got, the guy in the ground, is that this was an attack and islamic inspired attack. so what i'm saying is that the analysts are only looking and if they are narrowing their focus to such an extent that they are only going to see what propagandists want them to see that none of us should be too surprised that is what we get for the products. it seems very strange and we are ill served on this committee as well as the american people if we don't take the totality of the information about something this important so we get it right. this wasn't just an immediate two days afterwards. the present of the united states two weeks later in front of the united nations continued the false narrative that it was a youtube video that was responsible for what happened and as a matter fact that filmmaker went to jail for a year. he was the only scapegoat while the thugs and criminals and benghazi are still wan

mr. nunes: i thank the chairman and ranking member for their support of this amendment. and i will be very quick here. this is a base very important location for us in the middle of the atlantic. over the last decade we invested about $150 million into the infrastructure there. now the air force is talking about actually tearing down facilities there and starting to spend money to tear it down. this doesn't make a lot of sense to me nor does it to the congress, because last congress, both in the a.a. and in the defense appropriations bills, the congress said very specifically that this was a facility that needed to be used and that the military needed to figure out a use for it and were not to draw down the forces there. instead, they continue -- the air force continues to ignore the congress, so much so they want to use funds to tear down facilities. this is a complete rejection of, i think congress' prerogative and intent of the laws from last year and now we have to go into the military construction bills to make sure we hold people accountable. and this is just a pla

of rule 20, the unfinished business is vote of the motion of the the gentleman from california, mr. nunes, to suspend the rules and pass h.r. 44 on which the yeas and nays are ordered. the clerk will report the title of the bill. the clerk: h.r. 4414, a bill to clarify the treatment under the patient protection and affordable care act of health plans in which expatriates are the primary enrollees and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill. members will record their votes by electronic device. this is a five-minute vote.
