mr. ross: finally, mr. speaker, i applaud all those like agent terry who wear the uniform of the armed forces or stand on the border and guard our nation. agent terry knew a thing or two about duty. he died while on duty. it is now the duty of this congress to hold those responsible and accountable for this failed operation. we will not forget and we will always stand with you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. once again members are advised to direct their remarks to the chair. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. mcgovern: my friend from florida, mr. nugent, talked about obstructionism. i want to say a couple words about that because i think this whole process has obstructed justice. during the committee's 16-month investigation, the committee refused all democratic requests for witnesses and hearings, which is unprecedented. for instance, the committee refused to hold a public hearing with ken nelson, the head of a.t.f., the agency responsible for this operation. a

. >> mr. ross, mr. doherty, were those discussions fruitful during the period prior to this committee taking a direct interest in it? were you having the same level of discord where you were resolving that a arbitrary rule perhaps wasn't going to be the final judgment? >> congressman, it's my understanding that the interest of the committee has been vital in that process. >> thank you. mr. kelly. >> i thank you, chairman. one of the things i've been looking at, i try to look at the statistics, and i know that what i did previously, it was in the automobile business, and we always looked at markets that were available to us, and we kind of looked at the definitions, then we looked at the statistics, be i they only -- but they only mattered if they actually had some type of credibility. and my questions come on the green jobs energy, or initiative. and i'm trying to understand. and, dr. hall, does bls not count blue collar or white collar jobs? the bls was asked to begin counting green jobs. do you believ

mr. eisenberg, you may begin. >> thank you. good morning. my name is ross eisenberg. i am vice president of the national association of manufacturers. i am pleased to discuss with the retroactive veto of that permit did and had on manufacturers. in order to drive our recovery, they need predictability from the regulatory process. they must understand the rules of the road so they can make responsible, informed investment decisions. this lack of predictability is precisely the problem with this case we are discussing today. it is the main reason that other organizations found it necessary to enter this litigation against epa. this bruce mind veto was, at its core, a $250 million decision by the epa that crated a $220 billion problem. the stock above the $250 million. they plan to commit more than to honor $50 million and new, well- paying jobs into west virginia. obviously, this project matters and you heard that from the state senator. now about that problem, as was noted, the corps estimates that under section 4 04, more than to under $20 billion of investment was is

. >> mr. ross. five minutes. >> thank you. my view in terms of the meltdown was caused by the overlie rich. the over leverage -- overleverage. the housing market turned. investment banks about the leverage of 30-1. they were doomed once the market turned. aig was 170-1. tradinggan chase's losses brings to center that capital is king. it is the ultimate buffered to protect against those unforeseen losses. it protects against the risk models that the bank might have. it protects against the mistakes that regulators might make. the fed might set the rate too low. but the bottom line is, if you have the ratio right, you can survive the storm. now a number of economists institutionalize this too big to fail model with dodd-frank. the reality is that the only thing standing between the tax payer and failure of these institutions in the massive amounts of additional capital that would be required is the enforcement on these capital ratios. that is what i wanted to go to. investors are losing confidence in the major banks and asset mo

mr. justice. my case is much older than the case of ross mirkarimi. i should be here in the chambers with you against the four supervisors, supervisors mar, cohen, scott, and wiener. it this case is recommended to go before the board, and the four supervisors that have a sunshine violation, 11048, i myself will file the complaint with the california state bar because it is a conflict of interest for them to pass judgment on ross mirkarimi when they have committed a misdemeanor, they have broken a state law, they are in violation, and i am appalled and outraged that they are not in here tonight.

mr. blankfein. similar. >> andrew ross sorkin is joining us as well in washington.ou had to imagine there would be some who were going to use the attention paid today as an opportunity. >> we've already -- we've already seen a little theatrics and a little drama here. the big question, i think, we had senator shelby talk about it earlier. he's going to be grilling jamie dimon in just a bit, it's going to be about what he knew and when he knew it and it's still going to be all about disclosure. the tempest in a teapot. april 13th. what happened between that day and may 10th. and then as you guys have talked about, so frequently, this whole idea of reform and regulation, i think there's going to be a big discussion from what i understand about portfolio hedging which is how this happened. at least in that group under that direction. and i think you're going to see a lot of talk about ina drew. it's a name that was not mentioned directly in his opening testimony. but it's a human drama story about his relationship with her. his trust in her. she, of course, ran the cio

mr. cruz. >> we need to triple the border patrol and use security and technology to solve the problem. >> thank you very much. ross ramsey now has a question for ted cruz. >> can you justify what the u.s. has spent so far in iraq and afghanistan and how much more are those wars worth? >> well, i think they made sense to go in and i think we stayed there too long. my view on u.s. foreign policy and on military intervention is very simple and it's the same as ronald reagan's, we should use u.s. military might only to protect the vital national security interests of the united states of america, and that any time we do, we should follow the weinberger doctrine, go in with overwhelming force, we should have a clearly stated objective, and then critically when we're done with that, we should get the heck out. i don't believe in nation building. i think that the job of the men and women in our military who bravely risk their lives to protect our freedoms is to hunt down and kill our enemies, not to build democratic utopias across the world. we don't have to the money to do that and it's not their job and unfortunately a
