mr patrick very briefly if you can some opposition leaders openly in support of nationalist ideas why doesn't this bows out to szell's in the e.u. or in washington. for the most part because they don't take those ideas very seriously i think again fascism has she was like a historical footnote to them they don't realize that. these sorts of events could be repeated particularly in governments that don't like ukraine that don't have a long tradition of stable democratic politics. are as political science professor nicolai petro thank you very much indeed and also international is staying in that fake of a bounce in the ukrainian capital twenty four seventh's to keep you updated on the escalating crisis there and you can also keep up with what's happening that dot com more news at the top of the hour and i would like to thank everyone who participated and contributed in the south thank you. on june sixteenth one thousand forty one we had a graduation party at school and the war broke out. the shops were always full of goods. in september leningrad was blocked. one day mom went to sort o

on the economy for its citizens absolutely financial and political commentator patrick a young mr patrick young thank you very much indeed for your time. your well the two months of protests in kiev turned into outright rising over there we can and the sun has a day of clashes left over seventy police wondered and that number has since doubled most suffered head injuries stabbings and gas poisoning but the u.s. and the e.u. justified by saying it was provoked by the ukrainian authorities. and alexander curry is an expert on international law says ukraine's government has shown a lot of patience with protests that would have been dispatched if they were in any european or american city the authorities have shown extraordinary patience in this matter there is absolutely no conceivable way that this sort of situation would have been allowed to happen in any of the european city or in any or in any body the united states the authorities would be clamp down and clear the streets long ago the government exactly great string to this matter is to protest is. encouraged in this by the opposition l

mr. patrick over here was there. i wanted to make sure that everyone concured with the process the agreement that he submit the drawings and you can convince him we will release that permit. that individual was dennis, and i have a great deal of respect, and 29 years of experience. and his comment was he brings me letter of compliances from the soil engineers and we brought in two soil engineers the process and the interaction with mr. dank, took until two and a half weeks and we finally obtained a permit and during that process, i wanted to make sure that the neighbor was aware of the type of drawings that we were developing. i kept them abreast, with a note, if you have any comments or concerns, please contact me, we want to make sure that once we pulled the permit, you will not appeal this permit. but today, this is where we are. they are abaoeling the permit, and they want us to wait, three and a half months and they never give me drawings as to what they are proposing. if they are so concerned about the safety o

mr. patrick stewart is first seen in character, in costume. and then suddenly, there was a rehearsal scene, and the same man who appeared to be a young servant, suddenly appears to be a man in early middle age. he-mr. stewart has no hair. mr. stewart does not wear a mustache. and so you see, vividly, how he draws on his talent with the external use of a wig and a mustache, but also how he transforms himself from a man of a later age into an apparently very young man. miss lisa harrow, the gifted actress who plays julie, without the aid of makeup or costume, you'll see her in rehearsal scene after rehearsal scene, and her face will change. she will be passive. she will be dominating. she will be strong. she will be indecisive. and those are the gifts that the actor brings to the stage. and the rehearsal period, as i say, is the collaborative period when you get to know your fellow actors, when you reach a deep level of emotional intimacy with them, and you make adjustments with the aid of the director. and in the case of mr. strinberg, the alre

patrick again. commissioner hur and honorable commissioners, i respectfully request you ignore mr. david pilpel. as you well-know complainants start out filing a complaint. they spend endless hours waiting for their items to be scheduled and calendared and they go through a rigorous process of evaluating alleged complaints, but when the sunshine task force finishes their determination they do not title and forward to you an alleged order of determination. they send you an order of determination. don't put the word "alleged" in your title of the new proceedings. because the point the sunshine case ends up in a referral for enforcement, at ethics, it's no longer an allegation. thank you. >> on the -- with respect to the title of the ordinance, or our response to the ordinance and our handling of the ordinances, i think the titles are fine. i don't know if any other commissioners have thoughts. my view is that we do handle some sunshine complaints directly. we handle some that the task force would have made a determination on, but ultimately i think the regulations are clear and the title accuratel

mr. president, i ask unanimous consent that patrick miller bartly, kyle brewster and daniel corley of my staff be granted floor privileges for the duration of today's session. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. harkin: mr. president, earlier this month, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of president johnson's declaration of unconditional war on poverty. that war on poverty was a massively successful initiative. it helped tens of millions of americans lift themselves out of poverty, reduced hardship, empowered people to build new opportunities for themselves and their future, and we see some of the residue of this. today, food stamps ensure that children don't go to bed hungry at night. the elementary and secondary education act insists that all children, regardless of background, can learn and have an equal opportunity for education. legal services help people with limited resources seek protection from exploitation. low-income families fight poverty in their own communities by helping to lead community action agencies. the war on poverty and the great society encompassed a

mr. bryne: to my family, my wife of 33 years, rebecca, my children, patrick, kathleen, laura and collin, i thank you for your love and your support. to the people of the first district of alabama, i promise day i will work hard every to serve you and build upon the trust that you have placed in me to represent you in our nation's capitol. to the members of this house, i'm ready to roll up my shirt sleeves and work with you as a problemsolver, not a problem maker. as a workhorse, not a show horse. this is a great country, mr. speaker, but over the last several years we have failed to live up to that greatness. i come to this house ready to work together with each of you to find solutions that will make this country truly great again. i ask god's blessings and wisdom as i embark on this new endeavor in this house for the people of my district. thank you again, mr. speaker, for the opportunity to make these brief remarks. now it's time for me to get to work. yield back. the speaker: the chair announces to the house that in light of the administration of the oath of office to the gentleman f

patrick j. leahy, president pro tempore. mr. reid: i note the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the republican leader. mr. mcconnell: are we in a quorum call? the presiding officer: we are. mr. mcconnell: i suggest the quorum call be suspended. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mcconnell: mr. president, earlier this week president obama explained to the american people what he hopes to accomplish in the year ahead. and i think it's safe to say that despite the hype, there wasn't a whole lot in this year's state of the union that would do much to alleviate the concerns and anxieties of most americans. it wasn't anything in there that would really address the kind of dramatic wage stagnation we've seen over the past several years among the middle class or the increasingly difficult situation people find themselves in trying to find stable, good-paying jobs. there was no creative proposal for increasing mobility or opportunity for folks who need it most

mr. sean patrick maloney, one minute. the chair: the gentleman from new york is recognized for one minute. ms. malone orry i rise in support of my colleague's amendment. there are nine superfund sites where i am from in the hudson valley in new york. sites are now engines of economic development and i want to credit the good folks at the e.p.a., including my friend, judith, who leads region 2. but one hudson valley with poison in their water has waited over 10 years for a solution. e.p.a. began cleanup at the site in hopewell junction in 2003 and officially added hopewell to the superfund national priority list in 2005. hopewell junction isn't an empty brownfield. it's a community full of children and families who need our help and who need our help now. hopewell could be a neighborhood anywhere, a neighborhood where families shouldn't have to choose between clean water and their children's health, between selling their house or staying in a place where they grew up and love but is now contaminated. my neighbors, like deb

patrick j. leahy, president pro tempore. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: majority leader. mr. reid: following my remarks and those of the republican leader we'll be in a period of morning business with the time until noon divided equally. the republicans will control the first 30 minutes and we'll control the second 30 minutes. at none all postcloture time on the motion to proceed to the unemployment insurance extension will expire and the senate will begin consideration of the bill. senators will be notified when votes are scheduled. mr. president, another day has passed and we still have a vast majority of republicans standing in the way of extension of unemployment benefits. some republican senators are having conversations about possible offsets for a full year extension. i've said a number of times i think we would be ill-advised to have another short-term. if we're going to have an extension they're talking about paying for it, let's do in a -- for a year. mr. president, let's see how they want to pay for this. we've heard proposals. the proposals are, one, to stop peopl

patrick j. leahy, president pro tempore. mr. reid: i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. reid: mr. president, i would ask unanimous consent that the call of the quorum be terminated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. reid: i move to proceed to calendar number 26. -- calendar number 266. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: s. 1846, a bill to delay the implementation of certain provisions of the biggert-waters flood insurance reform act of 2012 and for other purposes. mr. reid: mr. president, on this issue, we have a bipartisan coalition that badly wants to get this done, and so we're going to do everything we can to move afford on this. at this stage, the republicans have not cleared the proposed consent agreement. i've indicated to the republican leader that later today i would ask that, but also to stopgap, we have started the rule 14 procedure, which just in a minute i'll move to that, and we'll have the second reading. so if we can't work anything out on the -- on a c

mr. bryne: to my family, my wife of 33 years, rebecca, my children, patrick, kathleen, laura and collin, thank you for your love and your support. to the people of the first district of alabama, i promise day i will work hard every to serve you and build upon the trust that you have placed in me to represent you in our nation's capitol. to the members of this house, i'm ready to roll up my shirt sleeves and work with you as a problemsolver, not a problem maker. as a workhorse, not a show horse. this is a great country, mr. speaker, but over the last several years we have failed to live up to that greatness. i come to this house ready to work together with each of you to find solutions that will make this country truly great again. i ask god's blessings and wisdom as i embark on this new endeavor in this house for the people of my district. thank you again, mr. speaker, for the opportunity to make these brief remarks. now it's time for me to get to work. yield back. the speaker: the chair announces to the house that in light of the administration of the oath of office >> also last week, a

patrick j. leahy, president pro tempore. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: i move to road to calendar number 24, the flood insurance legislation. the presiding officer: the clerk will report the motion. the clerk: motion to proceed to s. 1926, a bill to dplai the implementation of certain provisions of the biggert-waters flood insurance reform act of 2012 and to reform the national association of registered agents and brokers, and for other purposes. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: on this issue alone, we have been trying for months to move this afford. on our side we have heard constantly, persistently, always senator landrieu indicating how important this is to her state and to our country. so i would hope that we can finally have a pathway afford on this today, with a consent agreement. it is my understanding that senator isakson from georgia is going to try to come to the floor soon to do that. i want to alert torch this. if that isn't going to work, we're not going to be -- going to delay this any

patrick j. leahy, president pro tempore. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: following my remarks and those of the republican leader, the senate will resume the motion to proceed to the unemployment compensation legislation. we have no votes scheduled yet. when we are able to work something out in that regard we will notify all senate offices. mr. president, yesterday's vote to advance a measure which is so vitally important to our country to extend a lifeline to americans who lost their jobs during this great recession is really a positive development. but we're a long way from restoring benefits to 1.3 million people who have been looking for work for months, some of them, mr. president, for years. a few republicans willing to even debate this measure or threaten a vote against a short term extension unless it's fully paid for. let me start by saying, mr. president, i'm opposed to offsetting the cost of emergency unemployment benefits. i repeat. emergency unemployment benefits. i don't understand why my republican colleagues can't read the script f

patrick sykes, 15, deonte valegues, , miguel 15. ndo mondragon, ricardo herrera 17 and alexander lagunas, 15. mr. speaker, i stand here in honor of their families, asking my -- memories, asking my colleagues to get serious about gun he reform and help pass legislation that would stem the tide of shootings in this country. i hope one day never to have to add another name to that list. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california, mr. swalwell, is recognized for five minutes. mr. swalwell: there is no person more worthy of respect and tribute than he or she who lays down their own life while working to protect others. today it is with great sadness that i wish to honor bay area rapid transit sergeant thomas smith, whose end of watch came too early when he was tragically killed on january 21 of this year. sergeant smith, known as tommy to his family and friends, is from a law enforcement family that knows all too well the daily risks of wearing a badge and serving the community as a police officer. sergeant smith's wife, kelly, also works as a police officer, as do his two br

which one of the guests, daniel patrick moynihan get a report, we will laugh again, mary, but we will never be young again. mrs. kennedy's dignity generated many classical allusions during those days. our nobility represented all the heroes we does down the centuries. cbs newsman dan rather predicted kennedy's assassination was to be discussed 1000 years from now. none of us will live long enough to know whether that prediction will come true, if you we are 50 years later still discussing that dark friday afternoon, but perhaps we still have not fully grasped its ramifications. thank you.

patrick leahy and ranking republican, chuck grassley. they are pushing for recommendations. one more reform not on the table now. the hearing sets the table for mr. obama who will address nsa controversy friday. the timing appears significant coming before the state of the union where the president will try to focus on his agenda. >> one thing you'll see from the president this week is some executive action toss tamp down the nsa controversy. i think he foresees legislative activity will be tough and he has to act to arrest the problem. he wants to move on to other issues. >> one of the wild cards is the nsa leaker edward snowden, whether ehe will continue to lek documents. documents have not dealt with pr privacy rights but sources and methods and u.s. alliances overseas. >> what are we learning about the new report on the effectiveness of nsa programs. do they help us to nab terrorists? >> well, there's a new study by the new america foundation. they are a washington-based group. what they find is one of the most controversial nsa programs, bulk collection of america's phone records based on their research did not in a concrete way thwart majo

patrick j. leahy, president pro tempore. mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: i move to proceed to calendar number 294. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: motion to proceed to calendar number 294, s. 1926, a bill to delay the implementation of certain proefbgs provisions of the biggert-waters flood insurance act of 2012. mr. reid: mr. president, 5:30 today there will be a roll call vote on the motion to invoke cloture on the motion to proceed to the flood insurance bill. i'm told that s. 1950 is at the desk due for second reading. the presiding officer: the clerk will read the title of the bill for the second time. the clerk: 1950, a bill to improve the provision of medical services and benefits to veterans and for other purposes. mr. reid: i would object to any further proceedings with respect to this bill at this time. the presiding officer: objection having been heard, the bill will be placed on the calendar. mr. reid: mr. president, as i announced earlier today, the senate will vote in -- at 5:30 to advance legislation that w

inspector general patrick mcfarland, did a great job on this in making us aware of the necessity for this legislation during a june, 2013, federal work force subcommittee hearing, as has been noted, mr. mcfarland noted that his office was handy capped in conducting proper oversight of the o.p.m.'s revolving fund. the oversight costs cannot be charged to the revolving fund and as a result of fiscal year 2013, the inspector general had only available $3 million to conduct oversight of o.p.m.'s program involving $2 billion. because of these limited resources, the o.p.m. inspector general was not able to thoroughly investigate falsification of background investigations and conducting audits of the revolving fund or examine the fund's high-risk areas. however, h.r. 2860, when enacted, would allow the o.p.m. inspector general fund up to a maximum of 1/3 of 1% of o.p.m.'s revolving fund budget, assuming a revolving budget of $2 billion, the inspector general may be authorized to receive to a maximum of $6 million to fund oversight costs. . ghon since says giving the inspector general is a prudent investment. moreover, if national security is implicated the, the importance of preventing or
