mr. peters: thank you, mr. speaker. s the final amendment to h.r. 4435 which will not kill the bill or send it back to committee and if adopted the bill will immediately proceed to final passage as amended. mr. speaker, as a member of the house armed services committee, i'm proud of the bipartisan work we did this year to craft the 2015 national defense authorization act and i want to thank chairman mckeon in his last year leading the committee for his leadership and commitment to bipartisanship. mr. peters: mr. speaker, in san diego we are proud of the role our region plays in national security. my district alone is home to seven military installations including the marie corn recruit depot, naval base coronadoer and others, san diego county is home to more than 235,000 veterans. this year we launched the national model military transition support project which will provide nonprofit and volunteer help for service members transitioning to the workplace in the private sector. san diego is a military town and proud of it

mr. peters is connected. he should know in that sense. that is a very good program, putting out a hundred million dollars. but that program is successful. governmenthave the involved because private industry is not willing to shell out that money in order to train veterans by anyone else. america needs jobs, and that is an agreement to kind of kill jobs. i could go on and on. we are in a mess right now. we need leadership. in the v.a., we need leadership in our country. we need that leadership. peter gudmundsson, do you know about the senate legislation? the number not know of that bill, but the caller brings up an excellent point. inside our company, we talk a lot about to what degree should we engage with government entities? finally we came up with an understanding internally that we are much more about main street van k street. end i mean by that, one can a lot of time inside the beltway tracking bills, lobbying, and a lot of people do that. i would argue a lot of that is wasted effort, and that really out in main street in the rest o

mr. peters and i who offer this amendment represent the state of michigan, but i assume that this problem, the problem of access to markets across the globe for american products, is one that other members in this body experience on a regular basis and hear about all the time. we made disagree, and i suspect that we would disagree on elements of our trade policy and particularly the elements informed that many of the trade agreements of this country enters into with other nations. in fact, there's a debate brewing now over the extent to which we continue to expand those international trade agreements. but the one thing we ought not disagree on is whether or not we enforce the existing structures that are in place. and ensure that american made products have access to markets. that should be open to us and under existing agreements would be opened to us if we had the strength and resources to enforce those agreements the way they ought to be enforced. this is having a real effect. i represent michigan, as i said, and the auto sector, particularly, has suffered greatly as a result of trade

mr. peters is an experienced scuba diver.ably contributed to how he was able to be hauled down there that quickly and stay calm and know what to do. he knew what he was doing because when you can see him in the film, you can see him ventilating. you can see him ventilating really hard. he knows about swimming and diving and being underwater. he may have been assuming he was going under again. i did not walk away unimpressed by his calm demeanor during that whole affair. i would be scared -- [expletive] ♪ >> he was near to the end. presumably ken peters had a relationship with this whale. maybe he did. maybe that's what saved him, but peters got the whale to let him go. and they strung a net across, and ken peters pulled himself over the float line, and swam like a demon to a slideout because the whale was coming right behind him. the whale jumped over it and kept right after him. he tried to stand up and run but his feet were damaged. he just fell. he scrambled. and they take this as a prime example of their training working.

what he thinks we should do about it but but we start off this way it's the best of the best with mr peter schiff the one and only now he discusses why he now uses big paper transactions in decline you remember that he was not for big corn and probably still isn't now the interesting bit is that he says that he doesn't really want the big point at all but what he actually wants of the dollars because he says dollars have a certain value and inside the us dollars are legal tender dollars are what his employees need to pay their bills and what he needs to pay the rent not to mention dollars are what he needs to expunge his us tax liability check it out. i want to make it easier for people who own big coins to take something off the table and to turn some of their digital currency into real money gold solar and by you know partnering up with with big pay it makes it very easy because the people in bitcoins can use their bitcoins to pay but i don't get the big quotes i get dollars i see really accepting bitcoins pay is accepting big points and they're turning around and giving me dollars so my

. >> thank you, mr. peter roskam. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i think we can work together, really do, to find solutions that work for hospitals and for patients. i have been hearing from hospitals in my state, mr. sean cavanaugh, about the various reporting requirements and programs that impact the work that those hospitals do. i do not think anyone here will disagree that there is much room for improvement in the program and policies related to short-term as well as observation stays. however, we need to a strike the right balance between ensuring that hospitals can comply and that medicare has the ability to in short program integrity. it sounds easy, but it is not. one area of particular increase to me is the increased use of observations based and how it impacts the beneficiary. so, i co-sponsored along with joe courtney and tom latham, bipartisan, the improving access to medicare coverage act which would allow observations days to be counted toward the three day mandatory inpatient stay for medicare coverage of skilled nursing facility ser

mr. peters of california, polis, lowenthal, connolly, mr. hastings of florida, huffman, tonko, and cartwright, and we rise because, unfortunately, this bill fails to make the critical investments that are needed to further our understanding of the spheric -- at moss spheric changes -- atmospheric changes we know are affecting our planet. it would cut climate research in the next fiscal year buy $37.5 million below the current year or $69 million below what the president is asking for. noaa climate research funds atmospheric and oceanic research, climate research laboratories, cooperative institutes, regional climate data, and information, competitive climate research, global data collection, and sharing. as the climate changes, we will continue to experience deeper droughts, more intense wildfires, more frequent storms and floods, superstorms like hurricane sandy, higher sea levels, bigger storm surges. would we not want to understand what's going on? it's ironic that as members here tonight are trying to outdo each other in supporting weath

ruppersberger: i yield two minutes to my good friend, great ember of congress, mr. peter welsh from vermont. the chair: the gentleman from vermont is recognized. mr. welsh: i thank you for your good work and we'll miss you. your leadership on the intel committee has been a great benefit to this institution. mr. speaker, i have been working with a number of my major leagues, particularly miss lummis of wyoming, on a question we think is quite important to the security status of our country and that is more transparency in the budget. this is debated. because by definition if it's intelligence activity it's "secret." on the other hand, the whole point of having transparency in budgets is so that the rules of accountability apply across the board. we have 16 different intelligence gathering agencies. and in many cases -- in all cases the top line budget is absolutely secret. the 9/11 commission that was a bipartisan commission of respected national security credentialed people, lee hamilton, the governor of new jersey, recommended that this number, the top line number in the

mr. dan lytton and peter underwood. they were the descendents of those who founded the university medical center. these american missionaries came in the late 19 century and founded hospitals and schools. they did many work for the people. in 1945, after the u.s. rose the tories from the pacific war, korea was liberated from japan's colonial rule. however, the disarmament of japanese troops north of 38th parallel was hindered by soviet union. as the soviet union forces occupy the north, the peninsula became divided and suffered structural problems. after our liberation, the united states, who is in charge of militarization for south korea, withdrew their forces before june 29, 1949, as the republic of korea government was established in 1948. they left only 479 members at the korean military advisory group. also, january 1, 1950, the secretary of state, mr. dean acheson, excluded korea from your specific development line. because of these, -- [inaudible] all those series of unfortunate events cost the peninsula divide i

mr. president. >> it's an impressive list, van, but not quite mission accomplished yet. peter, let me start with you and give you another list of sorts. syria, libya, egypt, iraq, russia. trust between our allies has dwindled. our enemies grow bolder every day, our relationship with israel seems to be crumbling. we've killed thousands or hundreds, no one knows, with an unaccountable drone war, and terrorism is on the rise. now, don't take my word for it. let's listen to democrat senator dianne feinstein on cnn. >> i see the intelligence. terror is not down in the world, it is up, both deaths, injuries, in many, many different places. >> peter, how can anyone say that president obama's foreign policy has been a success? >> well, i think the thing that most americans care about most is that we have not had another terrorist attack anywhere near the scale that we had on george w. bush's watch on 9/11. yes, there have been terrorist attacks around the world, yes, al qaeda and jihadists are still a very significant problem, but the major thing most americans are most concerned abou

host: this is peter on our republican line. caller: mr. eisinger, no comment, this was a failure of government basically. i would like to give context to the situation. in the late 1970's during the carter administration, they develop the community reinvestment act, which made fannie and freddie about three percent of their purchases of the prime mortgages. in 1995, there was a lot of pressure on the clinton administration to increase the amount of mortgages that were given to poor and minority people, so clinton developed these public-write it harder ships, which forced th fannie and freddie to increase their subprime mortgages. at what happened at that time, it was requiring that fannie and freddie by 55% of their purchases, sub prime mortgages. unfortunately, this policy was through into the bushes administration post up mr. bush increased his investment by giving a $13,000 tax credits to people, first-time home mortgages. host: with all the context, if you have a question for our guest, please. why mr. bush did not reduce the mandates

ahead as planned or you're my colleague rory so she got an update from artie's peter all of us in berlin. and we heard from mr stein who said that we shouldn't be looking for further sanctions we should be looking for cooperation with russia in order to find a solution to what's going on in ukraine that's been echoed by well the elder statesman of german politics former chancellor helmut schmidt the ninety five year old famed back in the day for his his chain smoking on t.v. he said that we should be not looking to persecute russia but looking to to work with russia and allow russia to look after its own security interests without any pressure being put on there and peter called i wish we got quite a welcome in berlin this we didn't see. well yes there's a lot of anger here in berlin what we've seen of people opposing what they see as as nazi elements as extreme far right elements in those who've taken control in kiev but it's not just those people during angela merkel or she takes to the stage it's also the business leaders of germany you know the real c.u. figures here have been coming out and giving a seri

and peter said to me that he knew at that moment driving to santa barbara, hearing the news, flashing on the radio that his son had killed people and had died. >> i know mred out to the shooter's father. have they -- i assume they have not met yet. but is that something you think peter would like to do? >> i know he would like to do. and i will do my best to bring that together. that will happen. and i know that he wants to meet him and talk to him and it will be a very, very poignant moment. >> to me, i was stunned when mr. martinez says that you know in the middle of his grief the worst possible grief that he reached out a hand to this young man's father i just thought was an extraordinary act. and that would be extraordinary that they get together. simon, thank you very much. i know it is difficult to talk about. and i appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> thank you. >>> simon astair, spokesperson for the family. >>> and brad pitt attacked while he was in hollywood. we have a report on that. >>> and the ntsb reporting another collision, this one involving alaska air. we'll have the story on that ahead. latte or au lait? sunny or bubbly? cozy or cool

>> reporter: elliot's father peter would like to meet him. >> mr.ay, clearly a passionate wonderful man, they shared that and we'll bring them together and maybe they will have a voice together. >> reporter: last month elliot's mother alerted the santa barbara sheriff that her son may be a danger, but deputies determined there was no reason for concern. do they blame the sheriff's department for not being more aggressive? >> no blame. i haven't heard one woshdrd of blame. elliot fooled everyone for a very, very long time. ultimately, that's what he did with the police. >> reporter: elliot's in his writings expressed this hatred towards women. is that more of how he fooled people? >> i've asked peter about that and i think he was in search for a girlfriend. >> i don't know why you girls aren't attracted to me but i will punish you all for it. >> it has shocked peter to hear of that aggression towards women. or even the way that he would have, must have looked to women, in his household. he did not know this side of his son. no. quite seriously, they

. >> host: peter you are on the air. >> caller: mr. drevna i agree on your assessment of global warming. the issue that i want you to address and you just about touched on it on energy are bringing back many fracturing to the united states, this i believe is a ruse because right now it is illegal for the united states to export natural gas and oil. but the industry has been working very hard to reverse that through the process and natural gas. and also, they said by 2015 will be a net exporter of oil out of the country. this affects that because then the commodities, both of those commodities will be subject to a global crisis, global usage crisis. for instance in texas oil is 13 barrels a dollar less than the global price yet we still pay the global price because we still input 12% of our oil. my contention is that if the united states wants to bring manufacturing back to the united states, we need a cheap fuel. and unfortunately what the industry is trying to do is -- there's an article in "the wall street journal" recently about gas
