mr. royce: mr. speaker, in short , united nations security council resolution 2334 has harmed our ally, israel, it has harmed the prospects for peace, it is one-sided, it is an anti-israel resolution, the kind of which it has been long standing u.s. policy to veto within the u.n. security council. and it is not hard to see why. because this resolution opens the door for those who want to impose boycott, divest. -- divestment or other sanctions measures against israel or against israeli companies and in essence it does declare jew day. 's holeyist site, declares the western wall as occupied territory. mr. speaker, this is reminiscent of another action by the united nations, the infamous zionism is racism resolution, whose damage took decades to undo. fortunately the bipartisan rejection of the president's u.n. decision provides an opportunity for the house to rally around a more constructive policy and renewed u.s. leadership in the region. i strongly urge my colleagues to on both sides of the aisle

mr. royce: pursuant to house resolution 22, i call up house resolution 11 and ask for its immediate consideration. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the title of the resolution. the clerk: house resolution 11, resolution objecting to the united nations security council resolution 2334 as an obstacle to israeli-palestinian peace, and for other purposes. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to house resolution 22, the resolution is considered as read. the gentleman from california, mr. royce, and the gentleman from new york, mr. engel, each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. royce. mr. royce: i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and to include any extraneous material in the record. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. royce: i am pleased to yield one minute to the esteemed speaker of the house, the gentleman from wisconsin, mr. ryan. the speaker pro

mr. royce: thank you, mr. chairman. this has been an issue in europe, it has been an issue in the united states. i would like to make the point that with respect to looking at economic analysis and making certain that it is bipartisan, i think there is a way a to make certain it is objective and as i look at the underlying text and then look at the amendment that we are accepting, we should reflect on this. we're going to have the s.e.c. here look at both the protection of investors and the effects to ensure competition and efficiency. so i would explain to the members that adding that into what i already thought was retty exacting rules here in , rms of an objective analysis should really succeed in our attempt here. nd what is the attempt in this regulatory accountability act? to make sure that the u.s. capital markets are unmatched in terms of their size, their depth, their resiliency and transparency. and this regulatory accountability act gives the commission the opportunity to ensure that its rules and regulations

mr. royce: thank you, mr. speaker. the problem with this u.n. resolution is not simply that it criticizes israeli actions. it is that it is fundamentally one-sided. it is anti-israel. that's a departure from long-standing bipartisan u.s. policy. u.n. security council resolution 2334 does not address the palestinian authority's failure to end incitement of hatred. frankly, they encourage t the violence that we see against israeli civilians comes from the encouragement of p.a. officials. it doesn't address the palestinian authority's continued payments and incentive payment in their budget over $300 million a year, is paid to those who will carry out attacks against israeli civilians. and the more mayhem you create, the longer the term you have in prison, the larger the stipend. that comes right out of the budget of the palestinian authority. the u.n. resolution did not call upon palestinian leadership toe fulfill -- to fulfill their obligations towards negotiations. and the middle east summit is planned next month. first the administration abstai

mr. trump was nothing more than a hoax. congressman ed royce with me here in new york.ice to see you, sir. thank you for coming back. it is a big week in washington thank you for making time for us. where can this russian relationship work? >> i think one of the things i would like to see a better relations with russia but to do it you've got to be dealing with russia from a position of strength. and i think what we've seen from the obama administration was weakness. what we saw, for example, with the invasion of the ukraine, congress passes legislation overwhelmingly to direct the administration to give weaponry to the ukrainians to help defend themselves. anti-tank weapons. the president blocks that legislation. vetoes the legislation. we need to be dealing from a position of strength. and this was pointed out, by the way, by mr. tillerson. he laid out this argument during his confirmation hearing. i think what we're going to see is an outreach for a better relationship but one that comes from strength. >> bill: when you talk about strength and building strength, you

royce and that kind of thing. >> yes. >> but we animate everything is animated so it is car, like hi, here i am, mr.ots of those. >> yes. >> we know all of that. >> imagination is so important when you are a kid. >> did your dad ever play with barbies. >> one i remember is my cousin , my favorite cousin lived in arkansas when he came to visit. he was very much a teenager at the time. i was really young. he was cool. he didn't smile at pictures. but i do have a very vivid memory, even to this day that he would play barbies with me and he would have have voices and play with them and when he heard someone coming and got up and ran. >> yes. >> what did he do. >> he tea nice you it. he denies it. they are warm memories i remember. we bonded. it was fun. we came up with stories. i think it is special. >> i play me little action figures over when he was playing and had me fill up her barbie pool. this is a horrible story. he gave me a big glass jar, i tripped over the balcony, and cut my whole forehead opened. last time i played with barbie s. >> yes. >> yes. it was all my parents heard a crash, came in t

continuously obstructed the process we've made with the enactment of the royce toric civil rights legislation of the 1960's. he has consistently, mr. speaker, fought to block legislation, legislative efforts to ensure racial equality. including his staunch opposition to full enforcement of the voting rights act. the very bill, mr. speaker, if confirmed, he would be in charge of enforcing and protecting. mr. speaker, i join my colleagues, we cannot allow that to happen. next up in trump's cabinet of cronies is his nominee for education secretary. betsy devos. who has pushed to expand taxpayer-funded vouchers for private and religious schools and has absolutely zero experience as an educator or an educational leader. she has, however, mr. speaker, spent millions of dollars lobbying for school choice proposals, proposals which harm disadvantaged and at-risk communities. now i'm from the great state of ohio and to have someone owe our ohio elections commission $5.3 million, we cannot allow that to happen. we have to be the voice for the people and especially those people who are voiceless. so let me end by saying, mr. speaker, as a me

royce. the work you are general sir robert laycock and oliver stanley. the conference ended in dismal failure half an hour before clementine reported to her husband but mr. marshall did not refer to it once. churchill, the reason he was not there was he had taken four weeks off as leader of the opposition at the time to go to the wonderful hotel in marrakesh in morocco to write books and work on his memoirs and paint paintings. he idea of somebody today, a leader of the opposition, to be able to take off four weeks in a freezing cold london winter is uite remarkable. sometimes a rather was jeremy corbyn, the british leader of the opposition, he could stay longer if he wanted to. clementine continued in this letter to reporting to her husband. he talked much about you, mr. roosevelt. it seems he often disagreed and sometimes did not consult. he said he, the president, would direct his mind like a sunlight over one section of a subject to be considered leaving everything else in darkness. he did not like his attention called to asphyxiate not mastered or from lack of time or disinclination he had disregarded. he didn't actually use those words, but the gis

mrs. jackson, wife and former secretary of all funds of jackson. i think you probably know the others here. my youngest son royce and his father-in-law alexander. >> thank you very much and we welcome you all to the committee today. doctor carson, you may proceed. >> is a youngster, i remember actually feeling i was pretty lucky. we lived in a 750 square-foot g.i. home square foot g.i. home in southwest detroit that actually had a long and a little one car garage and we thought that was paradise. then my parents got divorced. my mother discovered that my father was married to someone else. she didn't have any skills, basically a third grade education. we had no place to live. she could not afford the house. so we ended up moving to boston and moving in with relatives. so i have actually in my life understood what housing and security was. we were there in boston for a couple of years. i remember as a nine-year-old looking through a building across the street out of which all the windows have been broken and a sunbeam was shining through. maybe think about the future. i remember thinking that i probably would nev

chairman royce is very concerned about this issue and i know he is thankful you brought it to everyone's attention here today. thank you. senator senator? >> thank one mr. chairman. mr. tillerson in your capacity as ceo of exxonmobil, you praised the paris agreement last year noting that addressing climate change and i quote requires broad-based practical solutions around the world. do you personally believe the overall interest of the united states are better served by staying in the paris agreement? if so, why? and if not, why not? >> i think having a seat at table to address in on a global basis and it is important that, i think 190 cup trountries or thereabouts have signed on to begin to take action, i think we are better served by being that table than leaving that table. >> and i think you understand that it's been general -- it's been a generation or more, that it's taken to get all of the countries at the table to sign an agreement evand move forward with targets and it would be very unfortunate i think to move away from the table. thank you for your answer there. >>> i just wanted to follow up on a discussion senator flake had with you in the
