mr. sander son i may ask you questions that staff may not know but it does seem i mean part over philosophy since we've closed the newcomer program so have new comer students in comprehensive high schools so as they become for capital of doing that. i'm a little bit concerned it seems like in our big high schools we have a small strand of students some of over proscribed by then i see marshal for example, we have a quiet a large strand what's the enrollment what do we expect that to be this year >> 6 hundred. >> 5 hundred or so. >> if this strand becomes completely enrolled up to capacity it's more than a third of the student body is it comparable to mission that has a sizeable newcomer. >> it comes down to the physical space i know we've talked to for mission high school we've moved it t the mission zone we have to look at the commission classroom space that's an important consideration that defines a lot of this crenshaw then 10 has been working to see what physical space is available and i completely understand we're limited by space, you know, as schools about to open in a week and we'v

mr. sanders put out that said it was 12.6%. i understand the logic. it is causing companies to take advantage -- i don't see how that compares to the realistic nature of what they are actually bringing in, what the money is coming in. i want to hear another version of the motivation. of anies take advantage version because it is good for shareholders, not consumers. but to present the other side of the argument in the same fashion would be, there is a pharmaceutical company that said they would take advantage of an version until a press release came out. the argument was that they were going to do it for tax purposes and go abroad but there are many benefits of being here. the company is saying it is a complete paper thing, where they just go abroad and on terms of taxes, they do not move manufactured. -- thatment was that companies thatng the american taxpayer poured into them. we expect a little bit back. q address those factors come which is more comprehensive rather than a 35% on paper? thate first thing is companies do not avoid u.s. taxes. all t

mr. sanders as to who was going to chair and i said let's go co-chairs, all right? i asked the senator earlier this week if we could do this yesterday and he said, nope, don't want to do it yesterday. all right. we were trying to negotiate all day yesterday, trying to figure out when we could do this and i was told time and time again i better not. as the house position that should be the chair of the committee and for senator sanders to take a good effort on my part to make him the co-chair a and to stop us from having a public meeting. i did share sitting down at this hearing i did share what the offer was with the chair and i asked him to share it with everybody here. it isn't a conference report. it is an offer. it is on one page. it is on the -- our offer is on the same amount of paper that va's justification were $17.5 billion is on. it wasn't done as a partisan move. we met at 9:30 -- it was an offer. not intended to be a house offer. it really wasn't. i wasn't trying to get you all to buy in because i know you cannot do that. but it was to say the house is p

mr. president, it wasn't what we passed out of the senate, but it was okay. it will help. and i admire very much the people that were able to get that done. bernie sanders has worked extremely hard, and i'm not sure that he could have completed that without the work of the senior senator from arizona. the bill was -- the conference was really dead a week ago. but the senior senator from arizona weighed in and with his influence, with democrats and republicans, it was made possible to go forward. it was brought back on track. so i'm surprised that the, my friend from arizona is here, but i acknowledge the good work that he did. without his mccain-like advocacy last friday and thursday night, it wouldn't have happened. mr. president, i'm not only grateful for the conference report we got on the veterans matter, but also the highway bill. i think we need a long-term highway bill and i think we'll get one in the near future. the work done by senator boxer and others to have a long-term bill because they want us to finish something this year didn't come to fruition. we passed it here. but we worked together and have a bill that will allow construction to con

mr. sanders: mr. president, yesterday the house voted 420-5 for this conference report. they understood that taking care of veterans, as senator mccain just indicated, the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend us, who have survived so much -- sacrificed so much that this is a cost of war and, in fact, what we are talking about is an emergency. that's what the house said overwhelmingly yesterday. on june 11, six or so weeks ago, by a vote of 93-3, the senate supported the sanders-mccain bill, and it was funded through emergency funded as a cost of war. this bill as senator coburn indicated, is about one-third of the cost of what we voted on in the original sanders-mccain bill. mr. president, let us defeat this point of order, let us stand with the veterans of this country. let us reform the v.a. and let us go forward. thank you. the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. coburn: i'll be very quick. what our colleagues should know is over the -- since 2009, the v.a. budget h
