mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield two minutes to the gentleman from south carolina, mr. mulvaney. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. mulvaney: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to follow on to what my colleague said in his opening remarks by trying to get your heads around how big $1.2 trillion. is it's one of the things i struggled with, one of the things folks back home struggle with. if you're a family making $46,000 a year, just under the average household in the united states, this is the equivalent of borrowing an additional $14,000, which might not sound that much until you stop to realize that if you were that little family, making $46,000 a year, trying to borrow an additional $14,000, which is what we're doing, you owe $305,000 on the credit card bill. you try to borrow another $14,000. it raises a question in my mind, speaker a fairly straightforward, honest question -- does the president ever really intend to pay it back? i think it's a legitimate question to ask

area, with television studios, the brand of hollywood, but in conference with mr. scott, mr., the head of the pack 1 12 enterprises, the future was san francisco because of our commitment to technology, being a city of innovation, and that the future of media is not just one dimension, it is multimedia. they are looking to penetrate markets and want to be close to where technology innovation is occurring, and that is mission bay. they also indicated something interesting that resonates with me. they did not just want to be a national media center, they want to go international. beingé7f is incredibly open for them. larry scott just came back from china. we hooked them up with our program. they want to have markets in the far east, men's and women's sports. i want to indicate just how excited i am about that and to let you know, names that our generation have been familiar with -- john elway, ronnie lott, kareem abdul-jabbar, jason kidd, tiger woods, they all came through the pac 12 colleges. if the digital media center is here, they will be coming here for their interviews, c

mr. scott: the law provides for consideration of a joint resolution of disapproval with two hours of debate. amendments to the joint resolution are not permitted under the law. h. resolution 515 allows the house to consider the resolution of disapproval in the house today rather than tomorrow as currently contemplated in the law. simply put, we are moving up consideration by one day to better accommodate the house floor schedule. mr. speaker, i rise today in support of this rule and the underlying resolution. mr. speaker, i stand before you today posing two very, very important questions. the first is an issue of scale. where i come from in north charleston, kk south carolina, we have trouble digesting exactly what $1.2 trillion really means. to help get my own head around the number $1.2 trillion, i did a little fact finding. a last-minute flight from charleston, south carolina torque washington, d.c., is about $1 rblings 100. -- is about $1,100. you could fly pack and forth every single day f

mr. scott will never be released from prison. is legal problems are not yet over. he is the suspect in those mother-daughter murders. he has been indicted in one of those double murders. the state's attorney told us that it is her intention to bring that course to trial next fall. brad bell, abc7 news. >> it is finally primary day in new hampshire. voters are coming to the polls hard. they have traveled all around the state shaking hands and making own calls to undecided voters. mitt romney is still the front runner but the real question is who will come in second. live team coverage. we begin now with rebecca cooper spoke with some of the candidates today and she as live in manchester with the latest. >> that's right. greetings from a hampshire. the day started out with pollsters predicting that romney would come in first, ron paul assumed at second, and it may be jon huntsman in third. the most important number, the number of voters who started a still undecided but planning on casting a vote, so another rough-and-tumble they on the campaign trail. today, jon hun

naga bar for a have an opening statement. >> thank the chairwoman come and thank mr. scott for being one of the 121 members that signed members that signed that letter. and i appreciate the regulators response to that. i would remind you that there were three parts of that letter. one was to extend the comment period. and the second part of that was to we propose a rule after you have all these comments. we have a piece of rule here that has over 300 pages. has 1300 questions, and so he have to believe that after hear back from all of those on the question that obviously repurposing the rule is the only right solution to come to to make sure it that add give her the answer to this question, hopefully it makes the rule more effectively. and in the third part of that is because this process is to move the deadline for implementation of this, because the time period is, while you get the comment period open you did not extend the effective date. but i think interwoven in that, which is extra important, is to have a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis. because what we're hearin

mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. as i heard the gentleman from oregon speaking of debt, doubt, despair, decline, i couldn't help but think all those words start with d, just as democrat does, and recovery starts with r, just as republican does. mr. speaker, the president presented a budget and that's a fact. and the house passed the fiscally responsible budget. the senate defeated both of those budgets and then failed to produce an alternate. mr. speaker, republicans in the house stand willing to work and move to regular process. senator reed has closed that door at every opportunity. today we call on the president to appeal to the senate in a state of the union address tonight to ask the senate simply to pass a budget. without a budget there is no plan, with no plan that means no recovery, and no recovery means no new jobs. mr. speaker, americans did not send us here to play the same tired old games that senator reed continues to play. they sent us here to get something done for this generation. this is my son, well

congratulations, and thank you for mr.," campos and scott wien. they talk about the city family. this city family is one of the most dysfunctional families that i know of in all of san francisco. i know that we cannot fix that, but i just -- i came here to get the update on high-speed rail coming into the city. i had no idea that we were going to have a one hour and a half discussion to try to save $4 million, of which i do not even know how much is going to overhead, staff, and so forth, as opposed to actual capital improvements. by the way, i am very happy to have mr. [unintelligible] in the city family. he is not one of the dysfunctional people. there are times when i want to say fine -- we lost $4 million. this city plows through $4 million every other day. obviously, i think it is the call of supervisor kim. but this is 2 feet. thank you. supervisor campos: is there any other member of the public that would like to speak on this item? seeing no one, public comment is closed. supervisor chiu: i wanted to ask one question to the executive director. a number of agencies have dr

. >> and i understand you're catching a a flight later on, mr. scott. about five hours to get things straighten out. [laughter] >> reporter: i will try my best. 30 mile-per-hour winds, jon, so we'll see. you might be delayed a little bit. bring a good book. looking at the satellite radar right now, the worst of the weather over across the western great lakes, several inches of snow, but this storm is lifting into canada, so the worst of it will be over. however, in its wake gusty winds really for the next several hours into this evening. i just want to show you, this is really nothing compared to what we usually see this time of year for boston, your average over 15 inches of snow. you've got about an inch and a half on the ground already. new york city, over seven inches, cleveland, 25 inches. so really a snow deficit this time of year or what's happening right nowment so future radar, just lake effect snow over the next several hours, jon, but those winds are going to be blustery, and it's going to feel real cold as well, so bundle up. back to you. jo

so for additional -- would be mr. scott has just come and asked -- >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman, for that time. let me just ask -- i want to share with the committee and with you my major concern with the implementation of the volcker rule. it's not whether or not we should do it but it's to make sure we do it right. i'm very concerned -- we're moving forward in a very, very strong economic recovery period. unemployment level has been going down 8.5%. we've increased the jobs just last month in the private sector of 200,000 jobs that have come on. auto sales are up. we've got general motors moving from the door steps of bankruptcy now to where we've got them pivoted right back up to the top as being the number 1 automobile manufacturer in the world passing toyota. great signs which means consumer confidence is going up, business confidence is going up. this volcker rule goes at the central nervous system of our entire financial system and could really have a devastating impact in my opinion if it's not done right because the general thrust of this volcker rule is in cap

>> i have the pleasure of introducing mr. scott evans who happens to be a constituent. i am privileged to be his representative of congress in the nineteenth congressional district in new york. he is executive vice president of asset management leader original chief executive officer of the company's investment advisory subsidiary. he has oversight of nearly $441 billion in combined assets under management. he previously served as chief investment officer and he was head of kraft investments from tough university and northwestern university and kellogg school of management and financial analyst and member of the new york society of security analysts. i am privileged to welcome you and thank you for your testimony. i yield back. >> thank you, congresswoman hayworth for that kind introduction. my name is scott evans. i am executive vice presidents of asset management division. are appreciate the opportunity to speak with you about some of the effects of the volcker will on the insurance industry. specifically as relates to our ability to invest in certain financial vehicl

mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlelady from the virgin islands for the opportunity to speak. i rise in opposition to an unfortunate trend that seems to be creeping up all over the country, laws that add unnecessary complications to the process of voter registration and the process of voting. some of these initiatives include photo i.d. laws, reduction in time to vote or to register to vote, laws complicating the rules for running voter registration drives. none of these little schemes prevent individuals from voting, but the unnecessary complications guarantee that many will not get their paperwork in on time and as a consequence, many will not be able to vote. in some states, those few votes can make the difference in a presidential election. we need to protect the right to vote, not add unnecessary complications that will result in fewer people voting. we see all over the country efforts to reduce the election day registration in those state that was allowed it for decades, those that could have re

mr. scott remained unsettled on a candidate on monday.t goes on to say -- david, an independent, houston, texas, we're talking about presidential candidates and whether they should release their tax records, go ahead started caller: the guy who called a little while ago need to have his own show because he made my day. he absolutely made sense with the politics of envy that has taken hold of the nation. host: will leave it there. this is "the tampa bay *" -- -- times -- tuscaloosa, alabama, a republican, what do you think about releasing tax records? caller: i don't really care what their taxes 104. they have a personal life and accomplishments that as their own business. i am interested in their morals and personal views. everybody wants to slink dirt and down the other person. why does nobody else tells what they will do for us? his taxes are his business. i don't know in my taxes. host: what about the arguments that the other callers have made that you should just released and if you have nothing to hide if you are running for public o

mr. scott. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. i want to just comment our fellow members of congress who've taken the bold leadership on this legislation. mr. jones, ms. slaughter and mr. walz. you are certainly to be commended. at i want to thank u. come mr. chairman for holding this hearing on the stock trading on congressional knowledge act. it is very important that we honor the trust of the american people that it place in the members of congress and the act would bar members of congress and federal employees from profiting from information that is not publicly available. that day of the team by means of their elected positions. the stock act would also direct the commodities of the future trading commission to prohibit someone from buying or selling a commodity from future delivery or swap while in possession of material information that is not public. a very important and should be the case. currently, as a matter of fact inside trading is not forbidden by the law. however, they're have been reports to members of congress a

mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. today is day 1,000, 1,000 days since the senate democrats last passed a budget. to put that in perspective i asked my twitter followers, my facebook friends to tell me what they have done in the last 1,000 days. i'd like to share some of the comments. one says that between my home and my small business, over 60 monthly budgets have been taken care of and they are getting harder and harder to balance. another said, cut our family debt by $60,000 in one year. removed two car payments, and finished my bachelor degree while working full-time, being a father, and getting ready for a business launch. . another said, watched over 100 films, dreggetted 16 hours of tv and tutored over 1,000 hours. final one. my son made one overseas deployment, started his second one, finned his master's degree at georgia tech, since the last budget. mr. speaker, one thing is very clear. the american people are working hard. the house of representatives, we're working hard with 27 jobs bills and counting fast.

mr. dred scott and said, mr. scott, in the eyes of the law, you're not a man. but cattle. the legal equivalent of a cow. the supreme court was wrong in 1857 and it was wrong in 1973. we will answer to a higher law, a law higher than we debate in this hallowed chamber, a law higher than is discussed across the street in the supreme court. that law says, you formed me in my inward part, you wove me in my mother's womb. i will give thanks to you for i am fearfully and wonderfully made. my frame was not hiden from you when i was made in secret. your eyes have seen my unformed substance and in your book were written all the days that were ordained for me when as yet there was not one of them. mr. speaker, i echo the profits of old, this day, i call on heaven and earth a witness against you, i have set before you a choice of life and death, blessings and curses. i choose life so that you and your children might live. this night, we choose life. i yield back. mr. smith: thank you. i yield to the gentleman from kansas, mr. pompeo. mr. pompeo: thank you. thank you, mr. speaker. we

scott -- [applause] >> thank you, mr. mayor. when supervisor campos and i went to merely to ask him to work with us on this -- went to mayor lee to ask him to work with on this, he was enthusiastic and rock-solid in his support. i had the honor of representing district 8, which includes the castro and surrounding neighborhoods, and my district has been the hardest hit by the hiv/aids pandemic. and it has the highest number of people living with hiv/aids. and i see, every single day, constituents of mine who absolutely depend on these services, whether it is access to housing, legal services, to health care, to mental health services. these are not optional services. these are not luxury services. these are basic bedrock services for a significant number of people living in this city. you know, over my dead body are we going to retreat from our commitment to the people living with hiv/aids and those at risk. and i really just want to emphasize how grateful i am and how grateful we all are to nancy pelosi, who went to congress in

mr. willard scott. hey, willard. >> ahh, cookie, eggnog. i love fruit cake.le world who eats fruit cake? i love it. fo dorothy royal, from salemburg, 103 years old today, loves to listen to music and love to have it played on the piano and smucker's on toast, she loves it. i do, too. we have carol anderson of eden prair prairie, minnesota, 100 years old today, and remains a super health nut. loves sports and activities, and watching sports as well. i guess she's got to be healthy, my lord, all that sports. elizabeth tatspaugh. i like that name. hyattsville, maryland, right there about four miles, anyway, 101 years old today. enjoys eating maryland crabcakes, and there are only a few places that make great crabcakes, almost all of them on the eastern shore. she enjoys that and so do i and she loves to read books and give them away to kids. that's a good idea. silvia robb of state college, pennsylvania, 101. loves to stay current, keeps up with everything in the news, especially politics. she's probably having a ball. opal carver, is that right? from new carlis

scott douglas. (cheers and applause) hey, mr. douglas. good to see you. thanks so much for coming on. >> great. >> stephen: let's tell the people a little about yourself right now. you are the executive director of the greater birmingham ministry's in alabama birmingham alabama, okay. which is advocating overturn of hb 56. what is this bill? >> hb 56 is alabama's new anti-immigrant law that burdens families, breaks up families, forces the split up of families, burdens taxpayers and makes law enforcement take on the extra job of checking out people at traffic stops. >> stephen: okay. i mean you say burdens, splits, what it does is, is that it removes illegal immigrants from your state. it is tough on crime s it not? >> this law-- . >> stephen: is it a crime to be an illegal immigrant? >> it is-- . >> stephen: is it a crime. >> if a federal crime-- not a state crime. >> stephen: oh so, we don't want the feds marching into alabama. they did that 150 years ago, it didn't work out too well. >> the part is that alabama should not be joining one of those states

mr. eicher was very castro-focused and, scott, i understand that this is important to you and it hurts me to not be able to support you, but i feel compelled to sit and explain to you my reasons why and things that were important to me. one, as i mentioned, mr. eicher was very focused on the castro and i find that the entertainment commission does a poor job in representing anyone in any neighborhood outside of the center core of the city. and so mr. lee represents that. he also represents an ethnic community which i believe will bring diversity to the entertainment commission. now, i agree with you, at first blush i was uncomfortable with the fact that he did not live in san francisco but upon further review turns out that he lives several years, i think approximately 30-plus years, and had to move outside of the city for family reasons, to take care of an ailing family member. now, i've become sensitive to the waiving -- to the waiver issue because a lot of african-americans live outside of san francisco and that's also an ethnic minority that is not represented on many of the boards an
