mr. peters? this pattern that he lays out. at one point, he just saw john houser go -- spiral downward. >> yeah. it's a classic case that we have seen so many times before. a frustrated angry person looking for reasons outside of himself to explain his failures. goes to the world of racism goes to the world of anti-government extremism. then it erupts. maybe a triggering event, a touch of mental illness. the people in that theater paid the terrible terrible price. it's the pattern of a lone wolf. >> you describe him as kind of the most dangerous and violent type of person that fits in this profile. i want you to take a look as we do these days look at his online activity. what we know so far. he would write on forums dedicated to the golden dawn the neonazi party. he praised hitler. does any of this -- what you see of this profile, does this indicate that this guy was a ticking time bomb? >> you know he talked about -- he praised lone wolves on his web paeftostings. he talked about hitler tim mcveigh the oklahoma city bomber.

mr. peter -- mr. peters: i rise in support of the housing efficiency -- housing assistance efficiency act. an identical version of this passed the house by voice vote last december. many laws are intended to ensure efficiency in federal agency bus often have unintended consequences, preventing agencies from serving the public and costing taxpayers money. currently, the department of housing and urban development continuum of care program is forced to spend too much time fulfilling obligations instead of helping families transition out of homelessness and putting them on a path to independent living. this will reduce government inefficiency and make it easier for americans struggling to find a foothold to access the already existing resources available to them. twice a fiscal year, h.u.d. has to reallocate unused or returned funds in the emergency solutions grant program. because funds are almost never unused or returned other this program, the reallocation of funds takes a lot of time and human capital

mr. peters: thank you mr. president.the united states is a world leader in new technological advancements and in no sector is that better illustrated than in the auto industry. we find ourselves at a critical juncture in terms of vehicle technology. advancements such as super lightweight materials and vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communications are rapidly coming to market and changing the way americans get to work, go on vacation and move goods and services across the country. with a shared goal in maximizing the potential of these technologies we must get ahead of curve and think about how to seamlessly weave them together in a way that will increase public safety, fuel efficiency and vehicle performance. that's why i'm excited to be leading two bills that will provide the tools that researchers, engineers manufacturers and others need to create the next generation of cars and trucks built in michigan and in states all across the country. the vehicle innovation act builds on the department of energy

hillary, co-author of "going to tehran" negotiated with iran and mr. peterrofessor at the city university of new york. hillary, good to see you. obvious, but complex. can the u.s. walk away and say enough is enough we are done? >> a decision by the united states to quote, unquote, walk away cut aur talks with iran would be just as damaging to the united states than the decision to invade iraq. it would have enormously devastating consequences on the united states. it would have repercussions for us globally in economic terms and military terms. >> hillary, i know you worked for multiple presidential organizations, but marco rubio disagrees. he is running for president, not that he would say something provocative because of that. the president, if he were serious about negotiating a deal in advance, he would walk away from the table and pose new sanctions until they are ready to negotiate seriously. very compelling. peter? >> the problem is even if the u.s. were to impose new sanctions, it's likely our partners whose sanctions matter more than ours would star

mr. peters: mr.resident i rise to speak in strong support of plans to increase our nation's overtime payload for the first time in over a decade. and restore meaning. in 1938 congress passed the fair labor standards act and president franklin delano roosevelt signed the bill into law. in landmark legislation represents an important promise that is as true today as it was 77 years ago that if you work hard and play by the rules you will have a secure future. ensuring fair overtime pay for employees is one of the most critical components of the fair labor standards act. it ensures that hardworking americans are able to make an honest wage for their hard work. for middle-class families who are the backbone of our country and for those families working hard to get there we must protect the important safeguards put in place by the fair labor standards act. i personally learned the value of hard work and the importance of protecting labor standards for all americans from my mother madeleine. born a french

mr. peters. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. peters: thank you, mr. speaker. across the west and particularly in california we are in the fourth year of prolonged drought that is placing us at increased risk for wildfires. the underlying bill would harm not just one committee or -- community or industrial sector. but would undercut years of existing water policy and put communities like mine in san diego in more danger. the images of depleted reservoirs, lakes, and streams drying up abound with millions of dead trees little literal our -- littering our forrests. for those who know fire, fuel is all they see. we are in the midst of what we expect to be -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman will suspend. the gentleman will suspend. the gentleman is correct. the house is not in order. the house will be in order. members are requested to please remove their conversation from the house floor. the house will be in order. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. peters: just since january 1, california fire officials have re

look at what mr. peter casimir said. am afraid the greece ranks -- banks might not reopen with the euro as their currency in the case the referendum ends with a no. the situation is shifting to what do you do after the referendum? it isn't as simple as grafting that old offer on to the new mechanisms. what they are saying is that you would have to start a new and there could be more onerous terms for greece. anna: paul, it seems every morning this week we take new twists and turns in this saga. wondering's morning whether the next turn comes from saga, brussels or frankfurt? reporter: i don't think it will come from frankfurt right now. the decision to keep ela unchanged on greek collateral suggests they are willing to give the referendum a chance. the ecb will sit back and give that political process in due time. the question is how do the banks there? it reduces the liquidity outflows so that eases the situation a little bit. you have already seen pictures on the streets. pensioners because their surnames did not begin

mr. peters is an experienced scuba diver, and i think that knowledge probably contributed to how he was ables doing because you can see him in the film, you can see him ventilating. you can see him ventilating really hard so he knows about swimming and diving and being under water. 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. they strung a net across, and ken peters pulled himself over the float line and swam like a demon to a slide-out because the whale was coming right behind him. the whale jumped over it and came 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. they say to stand back and stay calm. and that did work. they claim this is a victory of how they do business. and maybe so. but it

mr. peters said. >> as always the ranking member technical timing. mr. costa. thank you, mr. chairman.the time for this hearing is today because the avian flu that has taken over the country of syria and dramatic and devastating when we look at the amount of flocks of poultry that has been impact dead model ms. mccauley, the ranking member of the committee has stated but also in california we have had a number of poultry farmers and processors impacted your thumb in my home district were the first reported cases of avian influenza took place. unlike the midwest we have been able to contain it. we been able to control it. my heart goes out to those in other parts of the country where it is continue to progress. the cases related to me and actions that were taken by the united states department of agriculture and they were positive. we were lucky bottom line in the out break and it was spread to an accommodation of factors. and how we can -- our program we think a sophisticated. we think it is strong as it relates to buy a security in one of the reasons are producers were able to control

mr. peters: thank you mr. chairman. my amendment would not allow any funds to enforce section 435 of this bill. this is another harmful policy rider that limits the ability of our environmental agencies to take action to improve public health and fight the root causes of climate change. this section blocks the e.p.a.'s ongoing effort to regulate hydroflour ro carbons or h.f.c.'s, which is the wrong approach. h.f.c.'s are factory made gases ewed in refrigeration that are 10,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide this po tency has been used to refer to them as a super pollutant. unless we act now, united states h.f.c. emissions are expected to double by 2020 and triple by 2030. while not as abundant as carbon dioxide, super pollutants, including f.h. -- h.f.c.'s, methane and others have contributed to global warming. by eliminating the e.p.a.'s authority under the clean water act to impose any regulations or giteance regarding h.f.c.'s we undercut its ability to protect public health. the e.p.a.'s significant new alter

recognize representative peter king that's with me today and thank mr. -- or dr. howard for all you've done. you have, pretty much, i think, answered most of our questions, i represent 105 towns of western new york in the buffalo into the finger lakes area, and i believe probably most if not all of our volunteer fire departments and we're mostly volunteer, we have one paid fire department in my district sent individuals down to ground zero. that's what firefighters do and first responders. it's a community, a brotherhood and i'm just happy to have learned more today about how those individuals are more than likely in your program being monitored, and i think again in a bipartisan way we are with you and you are doing great work and i don't believe you are going to have to lose sleep about shutting this program down. with that, mr. chairman, i would like to yield the remainder of my time to representative king fed have any comments they'd like to add. >> that's appropriate.

mr. rodino. >> aye. >> peter went in the back and cried. we took it very seriously. >> with that vote, mr.the first president in more than a century and only the second in all of our history to confront removal from office through the only means provided in the constitution, impeachment. >> i stood by nixon and felt he should remain in office, but then we discovered the tape of june 23rd. this was fatal. >> good evening. president nixon stunned the country today by admitting he held back evidence from the house judiciary committee, keeping it a secret from his lawyers and not disclosing it in public statements. mr. nixon issued transcripts of three recorded conversations he had with h.r. halderman on june 23rd, 1972, six days after the burglars were caught in the watergate. >> you open that scab and there's a hell of a lot of things that we just feel that this would be detrimental to have this thing go any further. >> the facts came out. yes, the president himself, not only was he involved in this but he directed this criminal operation. >> they should call the fbi and n. and say that we w

mr. peters: madam president i rise to express my deep appreciation to my colleagues senator stabenow and brown and to the majority leader for the bipartisan work that was done to remove a harmful and economically costly financing provision from the bill that's currently before this body. i have significant concerns with a provision in the pending highway bill which could have impaired the economic recovery in my home state of michigan and in states across our country. i am a strong supporter of programming to invest in our nation's infrastructure and much of the substance of this bill is absolutely essential. i applaud the work that has been done on a bipartisan basis to achieve a compromise, something that happens too little here in washington. and while i believe congress must make smart investments in our nation's roads bridges and infrastructure, i also believe that we must do so in a responsible way that does not hamper the economic recovery occurring in our states. there are numerous financing policy alternatives available to lawmakers to fund infrastructure investments, but the dr

senior washington correspondent peter barnes joins us with more ended details on what mrs. clinton is proposing. >> candidate clinton is posing a progressive scale for capital gains taxes for wealthy americans. we are waiting on paper for all the details out there after her speech today. i like to see the paper but according to wall street journal she would increase the rate for profits on investments held for one to two years from the current 20% to the current ordinary top income tax rate of 39.6%. this would kick in for taxpayers making more than $400,000 a year, people making less would continue to pay at the lower 20% rate. than the rate for high earners would decline on a sliding scale down to 32% and all the way back to 20% on investments held at least six years. >> this means from the moment investors buy into a company they will be more focused on its future growth strategy and its immediate profit. >> the clinton campaign says the proposal is designed to remove incentives for, quote, short term and the line investments towards long-term value. cheryl: thank you ve

we continue with the british ambassador to the united states ambassador peter westmacott. mr. but do you think the deal makes the world a safer place and do you have any concern about iran's arab neighbors following suit where they have been put on hold? >> thanks for the chance to talk to you. we do think it makes the world a safer place. without this deal we would be in a much greater danger of iran securing a nuclear military capability. with this deal we've gotten years of clarity and many more years of very stringent inspections and controls on what iran can do and all of the controls that go with iran's membership of the nonproliferation treaty. we think this is better than not having a deal at all. that's why my foreign secretary signed up for it and going to israel to discuss the implications with friends in israel and we think this makes the region a safer place. of course we understand there are concerns among our friends and allies in that part of the world and we are joining our united states colleagues in trying to address some of the security concerns in the mont

mr. speaker, i want to say to my brother, peter, peter king, we wouldn't be here except for you. we talked about this thing for 10 years. more than that, peter. through the chair. and we've insisted so i'm proud to introduce this legislation with my friend, congressman king. it's critical that first responders have access to stockpiled vaccines so they can respond quickly and confidently in the event of a biological threat. just weeks ago, we were reminded of the grave danger that anthrax poses and the need for an effective response. a strategy when live anthrax was mistakenly shipped to dozens of labs all over the place. this is not a hypothetical danger mr. speaker. some of us remember when anthrax was mailed to some of our colleagues' offices in 2001. several staffers were impacted. we shut down the longworth house building to decontaminate it. packages were sent to other locations. 22 americans were infected. five were killed. and here we are. 14 years later. for over a decade, congressman king and i have been fighting to develop a comprehensive national strategy to counter t

peter barbee believed the coroner's ruling was inaccurate. >> you have an incompetent coroner and that's being polite -- >> so these wounds tell me that the story that mr originally gave was the correct one. and that there were no injuries inflicted on mr. leiker's body by alvin latham. >> when alvin latham went on trial for the murder of tinky leiker, prosecutors played alvin's confession for the jury. but later, the jury watched the entire eight-hour interrogation. >> you did it! how you did it! >> i don't know. >> you hit the man, covered his mouth with duct tape! >> i didn't hit him. >> well, how did it happen? >> i don't know. >> anyone that watched the tape, that saw what happened, any intelligent person couldn't help but be convinced that this was a blatant case of police brutality. >> the jury also heard from the defense pathologist who concluded tinky's death was an accident. and alvin latham took the stand in his own defense and told the same story he told to the coast guard after the storm. that tinky's foot got stuck in the fishing nets and that his death was an accident. after six hours of deliberation, the jury came back with their verdic

mr. speaker. i rise tay to talk about an imaginary world that many of my republicans are living in. peter pas inferland is one that we think of with fond thoughts and imaginary thoughts where anything is possible and innocence lasts forever. mr. speaker, sadly, i think the use is operating under some sort of a never neverland that don't reflect our best and brightest where house leaders thi we can build roads, bries and highways without the funng to do so. how do you do that? sounds like never neverland to me. how do you explain short-term extensions since the federal authorization ran out seven years ago, continuing to kick the can down the road? how is it possible we can't keep hardworking individuals employed to maintain the safety of our roads and transit systems if we are not providing the long-term funding to do so to mat both state and local funding? it's not. it's not possible. but yet, once ain we are going to see another patch for two months kicking this can down the road. this is a never neverland that the american public is frustrated with. this is america's congress. we can,

. >> joining me tonight is state representative peter barker, minority leader in the wisconsin state assembly who wrote an op op-ed countering what mrnow, mr. barker if you listen to what he said he sounds like the perfect ultra conservative vision of where the republicans would like to have the world all about. is it accurate? >> well that's been his goal the last four and a half years was to make us the most right-wing extreme state in the nation, and he succeeded in many important ways for the right-wing conservative movement much to the chagrin of the hard-working citizens that get up every day and go to work in wisconsin. >> so is he going to be able to put away or put aside a 41% approval rating and go out across the country and sell what he just says his resume is? >> well it's remarkable normally presidential candidates are people enormously popular in their hope state and can cite reforms and changes that help to lift up their state to put people to work create a great number of jobs improve education, all of those priority items people truly care about especially in a state like wisconsin, one of the best in the nation if

senator peters: how is a 10-year-old going to know that? mr. langlois: the individuals in proceedings sometimes have counsel and sometimes they do not. i'm not familiar with how it occurs in front of an immigration judge. >> i can take that on. they can be challenging for judges when they have children in front of them. you pointed out the scenario perfectly, a 10-year-old in front of a judge. sometimes it is a challenge for the judge to find out exactly what the case is all about. judges take the necessary time to get to know what the child is about, what the child's case is about. sometimes judges will have children come back a couple of times to get them comfortable in order to hear what happened to them, and whether they wish to apply for asylum. the point of taking the time the judge taking the time is not just to hear what the child's case is about, but to give a child a chance to find a lawyer. there are a lot of organizations out there that are stepping up and providing lawyers for these kids. for the most part, the process in immigrati

peter is the leader of financial services providing income retirement savings options and insurance to millions of americans. mr. sflieder became president and served before that as the executive vice president for primerica. we welcome you here today. >> thank you. >> we have some scott purit managing contractor of defiance i.r.a. in maryland. he is a retirement director. a masters degree from harvard university. welcome and thank you for being here. at this time, i'd like to turn it over to the rank and member frank and introduce ms. miller. >> thank you mr. chairman. it's my pleasure to introduce darlene miller who is joining us today from my home state. ms. miller is the president and ceo of permac industries in burnsville minnesota, a manufacturing company that provides precision small part machines to other industries. permac was named the u.s. chamber small business of the year in 2008 and in 2010 ms. miller herself was named by the burnsville chamber of commerce as the business person of the year. i've had the good fortune of meeting ms. miller in 2012 when we toured burnsville senior high school togeth

mr. schweizer and he should be on more media outlets than merely c-span. have a good day peter. >> host: david, thank you for the call, from hobe sound florida. >> guest: thank you, david. it has been interesting there has been media coverage when the book came out. i continued to do some media on fox news, but i've been really surprised, frankly by, for example, cnn. i did an interview on cnn on their media sources program on sunday related to the case of george stephanopoulos. really has not been anything else that has been done. i did a ten-part series with cnn as it related to extortion and throw them all out, but when it came just specifically to the subject of the clintons i've been disappointed how some major news outlets handled the reporting and the lack of interest it in. there have been others i have been very, very surprised and encouraged by, as i said "the new york times" did a front page, 4,000 word article confirming the findings on the uranium story. the "washington post" has been fair in the way they've characterized a lot of the reporting. but, yes in the mai

mr. kaller has kindly pointed out to me that my illustrations are from the second edition of the grazing. by peter in 1843? >> yes. james: but he also assures me -- >> [laughter] james: it is very legible, it is very pretty. it will give us good contrast here. and when you look at it, of course, it makes sense to try and use the engraving as the stand-in for the manuscript, for the document on parchment. even julian boyd did that for volume one of the jefferson papers. but in his case, he was using this as the last text of the process. he was not as interested in it because by that point, jefferson's individual involvement had become more diffused. he just wanted to have a text of it. so he didn't use the stone engraving. he did say that he was doing that. and the volume, it states very clearly that, yes, it is the parchment, but the readings are from stone's engraving. he also didn't have the kind of high resolution photos that we have, that we can digitally zoom in on and magnify and really see what is going on in the details. it would be possible to do a transcription from the high resolution p

peter, thank you very much. donald trump joins us by phone. good morning, mr. trump. good to talk to you. >> good morning. >> these comments you made about john mccain, it seems to me this is part of some personal resentment you have against john mccain and perhaps he has for youment this is a feud that's boiled over into a war of words and it's less about how you would define a war hero. is that fair? >> well i'm not a fan of jop. he's done a terrible job for the vets. i go around on the circuit and i see so many vets families crying before me. they can't see doctors. today wait in reception rooms for five six days. >> but you are talking about veteran affairs and i'm talking about the comments you made. >> i'm saying john mccain has done a horrible job. the v.a. is a scandalous corrupt organization a disgrace the way it is being run and the veterans are suffering. with that being said if you saw what i said and saw the press conference afterwards savannah and the media just has done such a false number as usual. in fact cheryl atkinson the highly respected reporter
