mr. roosevelt, showing politicians is subject to pressure from below can change, sam lessig of cyprus hasht us yet again. my response is, learn from that. roosevelt went on to the radio and the merit -- when on the radio and said, it the private sector cannot or will not provide work for the millions of americans that need and want to work, then it is my job as president to do it and he did. i think mr. obama could and should overcome whatever has made him hesitate. we in this country not only don't have a federal employment program, republicans and democrats have not even put it on the floor to debate it as an important issue, even though it comes out of our own history. i say put our people to work. they want to work. the federal reserve says 20% of our factory and office space is sitting unused. we have people who want to work, the tools, equipment, and raw materials for them to work with. lord knows we need the wealth that they could produce. put them to work and make it a national issue. >> where does the money come from? >> roosevelt went to the wealthy and corporations and said to

mr roosevelt wanted to get us into world war two was to mention you may recall we had to wait for a harbor some people might think that mr johnson want to send troops to vietnam you may recall we came back with what. troop one repeat the lie. what health is preferred month for invasion is mulch and this weapon of choice is the new york times on almost white house official tells the times iraq spying w m d two mainstream media repeat without question it was a total lie on the second anniversary of syria anonymous white house official says iran is blowing the rings even though all thinks the u.s. intelligence agencies admit iran does not have a nuclear weapons program nor the most white house official tells the times iraq's about to use chemical weapons it was a law i know the most white house official told the times syria's about to use chemical weapons mainstream repeating it without question we're even told things that don't exist iraq supposedly had some chemical agent fifteen it was a lawyer in twenty thirteenth e.i.a. claims a quote compelling case syria is using the same thing now the

mrs. roosevelt there because it was her committee that all of us were from all over the united states. all of us were coming in for a committee that john f. kennedy had put together on women. and it was there i had an opportunity to speak about what was not happening with the new law that had just been passed. and as a result of that, everybody got angry and decided we needed to have something that would change that. >> and just real quickly, are you happy with the progress we've made? or much more needs to be done? >> well, i certainly am happy with the progress, but i don't think by any means that we are finished. there's a lot more we have to do on all of those levels, and i think it would be very nice if we just went ahead and did that. that's what the laws are supposed to be. we're supposed to be the country that's in front of everybody on making those changes. and i think we have taken too long to get there. >> certainly you were in the thick of it and had a big hand in making sure those changes happened. aileen hernandez, it's been a privilege and a pleasure. thank you so much.

mr. president, and it's not going to pass. [laughter] and instead, it failed. and president roosevelt called him back down there and said, well, i want to be speaking to you more often so i can find out what's really going on. [laughter] but after roosevelt passed away, legislative reform act was passed in 1946, and it gave power, a lot of power, to congress. well, by 1946 mr. mills was really a rising star in congress, and he was viewed as a future chairman of ways and means, and he was viewed as a future speaker of the house. and he was a constant companion with sam rayburn. and robert doughton of north carolina was chairman of ways and means. and mr. doughton was 40 years older than mr. mills at that time, so you could see there was quite a change in congress coming on. mr. doughton was very hard of hearing, and he didn't wear hearing eyes. he used a horn to hear. and mr. mills said you could always tell when the chairman was bored, he'd put down the horn. [laughter] and he didn't have a very good relationship with sam rayburn. so from the time mr. mills went on the committee, he w

roosevelt. you straightened me out when you took apart mr. stint net's book about the day of deceit. roosevelt knew that pearl harbor was going to be attacked and so forth. and i respect your research and so forth, so i stand corrected. but when you get onto the federal reserve and you say it was a good thing that we got off the gold standard, that, sir, is a disaster. >> guest: no, i did not say that. i didn't say that. i said that the federal reserve can work so long as you have a system of competition whether it's private competition, i think other states can, you know, the yen, the peso, whatever, can work a little bit toward that. but i didn't say that we should have gone off the gold standard. i said that when the fed was conceived, nobody thought that a federal reserve would act without a gold standard in place. does that help? >> caller: but look at the book by wayne jett on amazon, it's called "the fruits of graft." and it'll tell you in there with good research from morgan thaw, roosevelt caused the depression by buying gold and then rallying anytime the sense that he didn't

roosevelt's era and are more than 80 years old. we must transport our goods and products worldwide. thank you very much, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from florida rise? ms. ros-lehtinen: permission to address the house for one minute and revise and extend. ms. ros-lehtinen: every march we commemorate national women's history moncht and highlight the many contributions of women who have shaped our great nation. while we celebrate the pioneers who have paved the way, it is important to remember the young girls who need an encouraging environment so they can become strong women of character. education is key to make this happen. education is not a means to an end but a vital tool that can overcome poverty, ignorance and so much more. however one in four girls in america do not finish high school and the dropout rate is even higher for hispanic teens. nearly four in 10 hispanic girls will drop out of high school this year. this is alarming. mr. speaker, let's stop this high school dropout rate for all teen girls and i ask that we renew our commitment to put literacy on our n

mr. daines: acreage that normally would be privately owned and generating tax revenue to help fund local services is instead locked away by the federal government. in 190 , president teddy roosevelt signed legislation ensuring that impacted communities will receive 25% of the reseptembers for timber harvest occurring on public lands. because montana has some of the most robust timber forests this helped provide jobs for many in anymy state. sadly, timber production has declined due to out of balance federal policies. montana was home to 30 mills, now it's home to just seven. the secure rural schools program has provided short-term relief but revitalizing our timber industry is the only permanent solution to the problem president roosevelt recognized 100 years ago. this is my number one priority as a member of the natural resources subcommittee and public lands. i look forward to championing this issue. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? of without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, speaker. i want to literally take a minute to congratulate all of the run

roosevelt said. the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much . the remaining portion of that propose albie mr. ryan would put -- proposal by mr. ryan would put a greater burden on the working men and women and the poor and it's done in two ways. tax y is to remove those writeoffs that the middle -income, that the working men and women have, significantly reducing those and cutting off those programs that people without jobs depend upon, from unemployment insurance to food stamps and to other benefits hat they have. so much so that their actually -- their actual tax burden wouldalize $2,000 to $3,000 a year. franklin roosevelt said a test of our progress is whether we provide enough for those who have little. if we are to believe that our goal in government is to provide, to assist, to help, to bring up those who have little, men and women who are unemployed, the families that have lost their homes, those who are searching for a well-paying job, if that is the test of our progress if that is our value and our purpose, then i think we better think about a different economic policy than is prese
