mr. scott: mr. speaker, the supporters of this legislation have spoken at length about how nice it would be to balance the budget and how dangerous deficits are. the great speeches about the budget, but the one thing they have not talked about is how the provisions of this legislation will actually help balance the budget. now, we had a hearing earlier this month where the former governor of pennsylvania talked about the pennsylvania balanced budget amendment and how their constitutional provision was such a good thing. but he had to acknowledge that other than the title, there is nothing in h.j. res. that can be found in the constitution. the gentleman from pennsylvania and arizona was able to balance its budget because only federally borrowed stimulus money provided $6 billion to arizona, $1,000 for every man, woman and child in that state, and that wasn't enough. arizona had to sell their state capitol and supreme court building. that's right. sold their capitol and supreme court building an

i yield myself just 30 seconds, to mr. scott. when we decide how we're going to cast our vote on this bill to realize you cannot compare a concealed weapon carry permit with a driver's license. but the states do not have the ability, they do not have the automated machinery to do that. many will not even release this information. it's considered a private matter. concealed-carry permit information cannot be revealed in many states, and i now turn to the former chairman of the subcommittee on crime, the distinguished member of the judiciary committee, bobby scott of virginia, for three minutes. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for three minutes. mr. scott: thank you, mr. chairman. i thank you -- thank the gentleman for yielding. mr. chairman, h.r. 822 will harm public safety. that's why law enforcement organizations, such as the international association of chiefs of police, major cities' chiefs association and many other law enforcement organizations oppose this bill. this bill would allow people to use their concealed weap

mr. scott: thank you. madam speaker, this bill undermines public safety and that's why law enforcement organizations oppose the bill. it said this is no national law established by this legislation. that's right. because if it would be a national law it would be national standards. this is rulely worse of -- actually worse. the law in effect would actually be the law of the state with the weakest concealed weapons permit that would essentially become the law of the land because you could use that permit in any state. this bill allows people who are ineligible to get a concealed weapons permit in a home state to go to another jurisdiction and get a concealed weapons permit and use that concealed weapons mer mitt -- permit anywhere in the country except their home state. states have different minimum standards for concealed weapons such as some require minimum training so that you know what you're dealing with, others allow permits to certain sex offenders or domestic violence offenders. all of those minimum

mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today to talk about passing a balanced budget amendment today. i'll tell you it's been a global debate over the finances of the world. even in europe, in the euro zone, merkel and sarzosey are proposing balanced budget amendments be part of the constitutions of those countries that make up the euro zone. it's not often you find me agreeing with sarkozy. on this one i do believe he's right to come out of his foxhole and support the balanced budget amendments. every year our americans sit down to the kitchen table, pencil and paper in hand, and balance their budgets in their households. every american business owner will tell you that they cannot continually deficit spend the way this country has well over the last decade. mr. speaker, the people of georgia's eighth congressional district are hardworking and responsible people. they expect the same of their government leaders. they work each day to ensure that the future remains bright for their children and grandchildre

i wanted to keep my identity as gail huff, the journalist, but i also wanted to be mrs. scott brown. i wanted the experiences that came with that like going to the white house for the congressional picnic. that was an opportunity i did not want to miss out on. like many of you, we are also a two-income family and i like making my own money. i did not like to explain to scott why i needed eight 60th pair of shoes. you know how that is. it might have been a lot easier to keep my job in boston, but not embracing the opportunity to make a change would have meant sacrificing a core priority, and that was supporting scott. being here meant that i got his support as well. there are challenges, like scheduling opportunities. this thanksgiving, for instance, i will be working. i have been at the station for a little over a year, so i am very low on the totem pole. scott and the girls will be going to some of the shelters, helping to deliver and serb -- served food, and help those who need it far more than i do. life is not simple. after today, i will go to the airport, flight to boston
