mr. reed: thank you, mr. president. i join my colleagues to urge the senators to take up and pass the bank on students loan and refinancing act led by my colleague from massachusetts, senator elizabeth warren. this is about fairness, it is about our values and it is about what's best both about students and our shared economic future. earlier this month senator whitehouse and i held a round table about student loan debt. rhode island ranks in the top five for the amount of debt students incurred or earned in an undergraduate degree. we helped from a peerch -- teacher, a parent who worried about how she will help her son make payments while she is making payments herself. we heard about the impact stload stload -- student loan debt is having on the housing market. as the g.a.o. reported, from 2002 through 2013, the number of individuals whose social security benefits were offset to pay student loan debt increased fivefold. now, think about that. these are senior citizens who are paying off student loans. actually their s

mr. reed: i'd like to thank the gentleman for yielding and, mr. speaker, i rise tonight in support of h.r. 3043, the tribal general welfare exclusion act of 2013. first, i would like to thank congressman nunes for his hard work on this legislation. without his leadership, this bill would not have made it as far as it has today. i'd also like to thank ways and means chairman dave camp for his support throughout this process and all my colleagues on the other side of the aisle that have joined in the effort to get this legislation passed and considered this evening. this legislation codifies, mr. speaker, the proper tax treatment of certain services provided by the tribe for education, public safety, to promote its culture and to provide for the general welfare of the tribe. this is an issue of fair treatment of taxpayers. in this case, native american taxpayers, such as those who live in the sovereign seneca nation in western new york in my home district, the 23rd congressional district of new york. this legislation will ensure that the unique lega

mr. reed: i rise today as i have for many years to urge my colleagues to fix our nation's broken campaign finance system. i do so after much deliberation and consideration of a series of supreme court decisions and the explosion of undisclosed and potentially unlimited campaign spending that has americans of all political background concerned. indeed, i remember when this was an issue that brought republicans and democrats together, and i was proud to support senator mccain's efforts at campaign finance reform. unfortunately, these recent supreme court decisions such as citizens united and mccutcheon have given more than the mere appearance that money and corporate money at that has allowed a voice to everyday americans. justice brier wrote taken together with sniets sniets our nation's -- citizens united our nation's finance laws leaving a remnant incable of dealing with problems of democratic legitimacy those wars were intended to resolve. these misguided decisions, in my view, by a slim maj

mr. chairman. >> senator reed. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for your testimony.l been sort of thinking back of some of the challenges of dodd-frank. one of the challenges when derivatives was to have a regime which would be able to be affected given there were two different agencies that had jurisdiction over derivatives. dictated more by history than logic. and my understanding and what we did is we insisted upon some joint rulemaking in critical areas and i understand this joint rulemaking has been completed. is that the case, chairman white? >> yes. that's generally true. i would say on the point of making sure that we work together well i think that's a priority of mine. chairman white shares that feeling and we've been in touch on a number of issues already and our staffs are working together. >> let me commend you on that. as we understood, you know, trying to sort out the lines, create different agencies, do different things, what we tried to do is basically take the existing structure and make it, cooperate and work more congruently for want of a better t

reed, a democrat. do you have any faith the president's plan is going to work? >> not much. there's probably a pony in the interview you did with mr. mcdonough. when the white house tells the world, we say what we mean and we do what we say, nobody believes that anymore. this is a turning point in the war on terror. we're fighting a terrorist army. not an organization. it's going to take an army to beat an army. and this idea will never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in syria is fantasy. and all this has come home to roost over the last three years of incompetent decisions. so, to destroy isil, what i was told or what i heard in your interview, won't even come close to destroy isil. it's delusional in the way they approach this. >> senator reed, tough words there. what do you say? >> the president has proposed a comprehensive plan that recognizes this has to be ultimately the efforts of the local regional powers. particularly sunny government, united arab emirates and iraq, particularly. and he is willing to use american air power and american training efforts to empower these countries. but it's their fight. as denni
