mr. rogers, jesus, the humanitarian jesus, the gentle jesus, is that right? >> that's right. >> and you see that as a reaction to the calvinism which was cold and preached predestination which is in itself is an unpleasant expectation of the demand of anyone namely that you are predestined, why even try? it was a reaction to a wrathful god, is that right? >> that's right, that's right. early on, in the american republic, there was an effort to move away from this god-fearing religion to jesus-loving religion. more of an emphasis on jesus, less of an emphasis on god, the father. the way that move in evangelicalism which was the dominant form of christianity in the 21st century is what a friend we have in jesus, hymns like that, seeing jesus as walking and talking with you, holding your hand. >> the sweet jesus. >> that's right. >> did the sweet jesus further degeneral rate into the efundamental national jesus meaning more womanly than man, the hair, the look? >> it deposition on your perspective whether that's a degeneration or improvement but he was fundament

mr. rogers: mr. chairman, chairman young has mentioned briefly the service of our friend from california, mr. lewis, who as you all know served as chairman of the full committee for a period of time and of course chairman of this great subcommittee. we're going to miss his presence because he is seeking greener pastures out there as well. in retirement. and jerry lewis has been a stalwart member of this body for many, many years and has rendered great service to his country and certainly to this house. and most importantly, i think, on this subcommittee. because this subcommittee is in charge of defending our country and there's no higher calling for any of us than to say we've been a part of that. so, mr. chairman, i wind my remarks up. we've had some 60 or 70 amendments on this bill and i think the debate that took place is in the highest traditions of this body. i wish mr. lewis and mr. dicks happy retirements and other pursuits in life and we wish you god speed. i yield back. the chair: the gentl

mr. rogers. i began to realize i didn't get it. that was the beginning. then i began bombing him with questions about apples and fruit. there was one moment that did change things in my perception, which is we were walking one day, i worked the fields and packing house routine, 5:00 a.m. routine. we were walking at dawn with the pickers who were all working, my brother was walking ahead of me. i saw all the shades of green, i was able to get my own ego out of the way. i thought he is amazing. this brother of mine is amazing. he has built up something astonishing here. it was almost like he was no longer invisible to me. i could begin to see him. then when i watched him walking ahead of me, i realized he has the same gape i do. we are probably so much more alike than we ever allowed ourselves to think. that was a beginning moment for me. >> one of the narratives that runs through this book, particularly as he becomes more sick in the last part of it, you are the relentless, you are going to be okay, there is going to be hope, if i make enough contacts, i'l

mr. rogers has a facebook page or if he's got a smartphone or a dumb one. don't know! doesn't matter! perfectly happy with rogers as ceo because he's shown himself to be an excellent manager over the years. ever since rogers took the helm duke energy has given you an 88% return. let's get this straight. i don't want to be in the board room with him. it's tougher than being with donald trump. i don't want to be his partner. heck, i don't even want to be in the same swimming pool or play monopoly with the guy but i don't mind him running a monopoly that i can own shares in. this is a nice consistent business, a glorious 4.6% dividend yield. unlike a bond, duke can raise its payout and that's what the company has done every year since 2007. best of all, i think you're getting a chance to buy the stock at bargain basement prices. everybody seems to be missing the forest through the trees when it comes to the company's game-changing merger were progress. duke's down over 3 points or 4.6% since the day the deal closed. that a huge decline for a steady utility like this one. but the real stor

mr. rogers pointed out in the previous panel, there is a close relationship over the past few years. state investigator training with over 300 state investigators now having been trained. we're producing several training videos at a time of tight state budgets. state regulators can receive training at their desk without having to fly anywhere. and then because all 55 states and territories are using the same document for enforcement, we have created something called a voluntary disciplinary action matrix and what that is lists specific violations and recommended disciplinary action. it also lists aggravating and mitigating circumstances. it's completely voluntary and a tool for states to use. i've been asked to touch on two internal foundation issues. one of them is the foundation strategic plan. it's premature to get into details of the plan because it will not be presented to our board of trustees until next month. assuming it is accepted by our board, the foundation will publicly expose the draft plan as it did with its current plan to saul stake holders for 90 days. this november

mr. rogers' observation is exactly right, and, you know, i've been on this floor many times before saying that the people at home in colorado, republicans, democrats, and independents, don't identify with the cartoon of a conversation that we're having in washington, d.c. right now. and i can't think of a clearer example than the failure to act on this bipartisan piece of legislation, legislation that would immediately help people all across our country, all across america, who are struggling today. mr. president, think for just a moment about our farmers in colorado and rural communities just like our communities all across this wonderful country. our farmers and ranchers are experiencing the worst drought in over half a century. who's going to look in the eyes of our farmers in middle america and tell them that our dysfunctional politics will prevent this bill from moving forward? who's going to tell steve scott and carl hansen that this bill just isn't going to be a priority in the congress, that we're just going to take our recess and go home for a month not having passed this biparti

mr. rogers of michigan for their work on this issue. this directs the secretary of state to submit a report to congress dealing if the haqqani network meets the criteria for terrorist organization under current law. if the secretary determines that the haqqani network does not meet the criteria, the secretary shall provide a detailed justification as to which criteria have not been met. the bill also provides a sense of congress that the secretary of state should designate the network as a foreign terrorist organization. the haqqani network is an insurgent group fighting against u.s.-led nato forces in the government of afghanistan. haqqani and his son lead the network which is now based in pakistan but operates on both sides of the afghanistan-pakistan border. for about two years the pakistani government has sought to facilitate a compromise between the haqqani network and the government of afghanistan. however, the -- it is provided to provide al qaeda safe havens in haqqani-controlled areas. it has the influence to bring the haqqani

mr. rogers and the gentleman from new jersey, who is from the committee here today and i want to thank him also. i stand up in support of the dedication and hard work this congress has done for work on something known as ptsd. this congress, as you may know, mr. chairman, has continued its increasing funding overall and by this bill by $125 million. on may 18, 2012, during the national defense authorization act, the house adopted my amendment to create a pilot program administered by the department of defense that will strengthen treatment for our troops coming home with ptsd. today, congress has the opportunity to appropriate funds for this program. my amendment offered with my dear friend from california, the gentleman from mike thompson, moves $2 million from more than $31 billion in the operation and defense-wide budget to increase by $10 million. this money will directly assist the soldiers who have injuries by allowing them to be reimbursed to attend private-sector facilities. one in four of recent combat veterans treated by the veterans health administration from 2004 to 2009 had a

mr. rogers and if you could focus on the geostrategic important countries economically that's of japan andindia. japan we've not yet heard i think a position from governor romney on whether or not he would support tpp for japan and india is a country we've been looking at as is possible security partner and i wonder if you can comment on how you see that going forward. >> i think this is an area where we have had a lot of frankly continuity and bipartisan support. india is an important security partner today to read our military relationship has never been closer. that is growing i think the exercise more with the united states than any other country. we are growing our efforts on piracy and the other things and it is a rising democracy. it's a very, very powerful partner for us in the asian region and we have so many common interests and values and i think this administration has invested a lot in that relationship the first state dinner was for the prime minister. japan is also a critical ally. i think that we have not only continued to invest in that relationship but i think that after

mr. rogers, said last year when we passed it, and i quote, tough choices will have to be made, particularly when it comes to defense and national security priorities, but shared sacrifice will bring sheared results. he went on to say, the appropriations committee has already started making tough decisions on spending and will continue under the spending limits and guidelines provided in this bill, unquote, meaning the budget control act. that was august 1 of last year. the chairman of the full committee was right last year but the bill that's coming to the floor today is in violation of that bipartisan agreement. and as a result of that violation, while the defense appropriation bill exceeds significantly what was requested by our own defense department, as what was necessary to meet our national security needs because this bill dramatically increased that level above what was requested, the reality is the other bills that are coming through the appropriations committee are taking very deep cuts, deep cuts to education, deep cuts to health care programs, in fact, the ranking member of the s
