i mean mr. scott that may be a question that's primarily for you, but i'd be interested in anybody's response. >> sure. i can think of several things in the short run that, you know, actually we already have under way. but probably long term the biggest thing is to double down on replacing these legacy sort of old systems that we have. one of the central problems here is you have old stuff that just was not designed or built in an era when we had these kinds of threats. it's, you know, in some cases very, very hard to sort of duct tape and band-aid things around these systems. it doesn't mean there's nothing you can do, but fundamentally, it's old architectures that need to be replaced and security needs to be designed into the very fabric of the architecture of the hardware the software, the networks, the applications. the faster we can do that the faster we're on a better road. >> and given your role to do that in federal government, i'm not clear today what percentage of legacy systems and old arch

so, mr. scott, as i understand, in the private sectors, there have been shifts toward zero trust model. ultimately, given omb's role in setting metrics for agencies, my question is, can you tell me, tell us, what omb is doing to set i.t. security metrics to limit the number of workloads, application tiers, to the networks? >> thank you for the question. i think there's a number of things that i would point to in addition to the measures that you just talked about. the first one is to share across the federal government, not only the lessons learned from opm, but what we see from other attacks, whether successful or not, private and public, approximate -- and make sure that all agencies are up to date on the methods of attack and the -- >> that's a weakness now? >> it has been historically, the ability for the government and the private sector to share information has been a hindrance in our ability to thwart these things. but i'll say that the specific measure that you mentioned, the segmentation a

mr. scott, that made primarily before you. mr. scott: i can think of several things in the short run that actually we already have underway. probably long-term, the biggest thing is to double down on replacing these legacy systems these old systems we have. one of the central problems here we have old stuff that was just not designed or built in an era when we had these kinds of threats. in some cases, it is very hard to duct tape and band-aid things around these systems. doesn't mean there is nothing we can do but it is old architecture that needs to be replaced and security needs to be designed into the very fabric of the architecture of the hardware, the software, the networks, the applications, and the faster we can do that, the faster we are on a better road. >> giving your role to do that in federal government, i am clear -- i am not clear what percentage of old platforms we are still operating under, in which departments are more at risk than others. what is the timeframe for getting that done? what is a reasonable course to

mr. scott: mr. chairman, i want to thank his work. i have a family in my district that has been seen on many times . and i have had extensive discussions with people? depea that need treatment. i wouldn't support the oil and those types of things if my sheriffs weren't in favor of it. they are in endivorcing that would allow the can bus oil. and i want to thank you for the work you have done this. mr. perry: these rn the same smoke. it's not some weed grown along the road and in the kemp category and has specific properties. i respect the gentleman from louisiana when he concerned about the side effects. chinch shall in hospice and parents are looking at the final days and looking at the oil and side effect is the choice of death or life. the chair: those in favor say aye. thoipped. the noes have it and the amendment is not agreed to. pursuant to clause 6, rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from pennsylvania will be postponed. for what purpose does the gentle

mr. scott: i reserve. the chair: the gentleman from virginia reserves. >> i reserve my point of -- mr. culberson: i'm prepared to assert my point of order unless the gentleman is going to withdraw. >> i'd like to claim time in opposition. the chair: we have a point of order pending. the chair: the point of order -- mr. culberson: we have a point of order pending. the chair: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for five minutes. mr. fattah: i want to thank the chair on education and the work force for raising this important issue and assure him that it's my intention we will be working between here and the final bill to improve upon this area in the bill. i want to thank the chairman for all his work in this regard and i yield back the remainder of my time. the chair: the gentleman from pennsylvania yields back. does the gentleman from texas continue to reserve? mr. culberson: i continue to reserve, depending on -- the chair: the point of order is reserved. the gentleman from virginia is recognized

mr. scott: mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of h.r. 2620 and yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. scott: this bill would allow for the creation of a world cotton contract listed on the united states exchange. current law, which requires sampling and classing by the usda of every bail of cotton solicited on a u.s. exchange reflects an antiquated picture of the global cotton market. some market participants need to hedge price fluctuations in foreign markets and the current law limits their ability to do so. we need to update our law to reflect the modern nature of this marketplace, h.r. 2620 accomplishes this by providing an option for cotton produced and delivered in foreign markets to be classed by rating facilities closer to the point of delivery rather than by the united states department of agriculture. it makes no changes to the treatment of domestically produced and delivered cotton. this legislation will allow any willing exch

mr. scottas i understand in the private sectors have have been shifts toward zero trust model. ultimate given o.p.m.'s role for metrics settings for agencies, can you tell us what o.p.m. is doing to set i.t. security metrics to limit the number of workloads, application tiers to the networks? mr. scott: thank you for the question. i think there is a number of things that i would point to in addition to the measures that you just talked about. the first one is to share across the federal government, not only the lessons learned from o.p.m. but what we see from other attacks, whether successful or not. private and public and make sure that all agencies are up to speed with the latest information on the med of attacks, the tools that are used and so on. >> that is the weakness? mr. scott: it has been historically for the government and the private sector to share information for our ability to thwart these things. the specific measure that you mentioned, the segmentation and zero trust is somethin

forward to our discussion and with that wsh i will now recognize the committee's ranking member, mr. scott, for his opening remarks. >> thank you, mr. chairman for holding this hearing. today we'll discuss the implementation of the 2010 healthy hunger free kids act as well as policy ideas for the upcoming reauthorization for the child nutrition act. i'd like to thank our secretary of agriculture for being with us to discuss this important issue. moore than 6/0 years ago through the enactment of the first federal child nutrition program, the natural school lunch act of 1946, congress recognized that feeding hungry children was not just a moral imperative, but also an imperative for the health and security of our nation because so many of our youth were malnourished and not prepared for military service. in 1946 the 79th congress passed the national school lunch act, quote, as a measure of national security to safeguard the health and well being of the nation's children and to encourage domestic consumption of nutritionus agricultural commodities and other food by assisting the states throug

mr. scott: thank you so much, mr. speaker. i rise today on behalf of the american recreational fishermen that like myself and my family used to have the opportunity to fish for red snapper in the federal waters of the gulf of mexico. i can't help but think how sad it is that we have people in here articulating why illegal drugs should be made legal while we continue to allow federal agencies to take away the rights the american sportsman and the man and woman who just want to take their kids fishing. maybe if we spent more times outdoors fishing and hunting we wouldn't have the problems we have in this country with drugs. technically mr. speaker, we still have the right to fish in the gulf of mexico in the federal waters as long as you can do it in the crumb of the season that's been left for the recreational fisherman that's 10 days. the fishery services, the not-for-fire recreational angler who wants to take his kid fishing 10 days. in 2007 mr. speaker, if you want to know how fast this has gone downhill, we got to fish 194

i'm very pleased to introduce mr. scott martin. introduced but is mr. scott martin, a county commissioner of lancaster county, pennsylvania, thank you for being with us, and you're registered. i'm sorry there was such a delay in your testifying. we had to reschedule a little bit. i think you were in the german parliament at a time. and you're a professor, also at the university of bond. and so we genuinely appreciate your making this effort. and i'm going to recognize you to start off with for five minutes. and then after everyone has concluded, we'll have some questions for some of you. so mr. dozer, you're recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. members, thank you for having me here -- in germany, i became a law professor subsequently i was director general of the federal office of the chancellor and the chancellor code. this is where my gray hair come from. then i was appointed three times to the german parliament's commission of inquiry. we have that in germany, can be appointed two parliament without the right to vote in the planry.

. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from georgia mr. scott. >> thank you, mr. chairman sir, it's good to have you and your doing a great job. keeping this conversation on liquidity. it's a serious issue. i am very concerned about it. there's a number of experts that register warnings about it. liquidity is the key to protecting the financial systems and also the key to being able to ascertain potential risks to the system. so that provides us with a way and not just look down the road for problems. and the issue becomes with this liquidity worsened as the economy worsens? and we don't want another crisis after they finish the depression. it is surely as we have a free enterprise system that is free to go up sideways and down whatever. so if we had another crisis with the financial system in your opinion have the liquidity to be able to come to the assistance of other financial systems in the way that it did in 2000 and eight when healthier institutions had helped us a lot. and they were able to buy of institutions like this and mergers are not buying this or no

mr. austin scott and mr. david scott, the chairman and ranking member of the subcommittee respectfully that oversees the cftc. both of these gentlemen have joined me as original sponsors and have held a series of hearings on re-authorization. . mr. newhouse: i yield an additional 30 seconds. mr. conaway: helping a new subcommittee focus on these issues and i look forward to their diligent oversight work throughout the rest of the congress. similar to the cftc re-authorization bill, the commodity end user relief act is comprised of narrowly targeted changes to the c.e.a., the committee is has again put together a bill that earned the bipartisan support of our members because we brought the right relief to the right people. with that, mr. speaker, i urge the adoption of the rule and support for the underlying act. i thank you and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington reserves. the gentleman from massachusetts is recognized. mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, i just want to point out to my

mr. scott: thank you mr. president. i ask unanimous consent that senator graham and i be allowed to speak for about five minutes, equally divided. the presiding officer: is there objection? without objection. mr. scott: mr. president -- the presiding officer: the senate will be in order. the senate will be in order. the senator from south carolina. mr. scott: thank you mr. president. a senator: the senate is not in order. the presiding officer: the senator is correct. the senate will be in order. senators will take their conversations out of the well. a senator: i would reiterate mr. president, that the senate is not in order. the presiding officer: the senate is not in order. senators will take their conversations off and out of the well. the senator from south carolina. mr. scott: thank you mr. president. i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to the consideration of s. res. 212 submitted earlier today. the presiding officer: the clerk will report. the clerk: senate resolution 212 contending the attack on ema

levin: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from georgia, mr. scott. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. scott: thank you very much. the people of this great nation are watching us today. and they are begging and pleading with us to please vote down this bill. this bill, all you have to do -- who knows better than the american people, who live in the towns and the cities where they have seen their manufacturing plants close and they have seen their jobs shift overseas. every trade deal has done it. let's look at the china deal. as a result of the china deal, two million manufacturing jobs have been shipped from america over to china. look nafta. yeah it created jobs, but where have they created jobs? in mexico. where did the plants go? they went to mexico. that's why the american people are ringing everybody's office and urging us please, let us not lose any more jobs. those of you concerned about income equality. the reason we have that as a burning issue in the heart and soul of middle class america is because we

>> i noticed that mr. scott made remarks to that effect. my feeling was that they were a little severe and not entirely justified. i think that so often, votes down there take place on an area basis than a party basis. sometimes it gives the impression that there are dissidents who are making things difficult with the party. i don't want to deny the fact there have been republicans in both houses who have been a little bit reluctant to go along with some of the administration's plans and congress' ideas. republicans will pretty much stand together on the important issues. brian: talking about a number of familiar names, it including edward p morgan who asked that question. he was sitting next to winston burdett. he is asking senator bush. what is your reaction? raymond: -- donald: prescott bush is being questioned about the division and his party which was very strongly divided between the eisenhower wing and attacked wing. -- the taft wing. bush is somewhat straddling in this case, although he is defending the president. he is looking forw

with that i will now recognize the committee's ranking member, mr. scottfor his opening remarks. >> thank you, mr. chairman for holding this hearing. today we'll discuss the implementation of the 2010 healthy hunger-free kids act as well as policy ideas for the upcoming reauthorization of the child nutrition act. i'd like to thank the secretary of agriculture for being with us. more than 60 years ago through the enactment of the first federal child new nutrition program, the school lunch act of 1946 congress recognized that feeding hungry children was an imperative for the health and security of our nation because so many of our youth were mall nourished and not prepared for military service. in 1946 the 79th congress passed the national school lunch act, quote, as a measure of national security to safeguard the health and well-being of the nation's children and to encourage domestic consumption of nutrition agricultural commodities and other food by assisting the states through grants and aid and other means in providing an adequate supply of food and oth

especially for those who had been dealing with unjust from police officers from what happened with mr. scottng shot in the back here this is a safe haven for that where they could go and talk about it and where the reverend himself was trying to help out with that legislation as well with walter scott and other members of the community. so heavy hearts here. right where we are, it's sort of becoming a gathering spot where people are coming to talk to the media and really just to sort of feel that they have some sort of communion here. they can't believe this has happened wolf. >> it's hard to believe in this day and age, he had south africa apartheid on his facebook page. people are tweeting me saying this is not mass murder a hate crime, it's an act of terror. your thoughts? >> reporter: i agree with them. it's an act of terror. listen i think that newtown was an act of terror. when you have people praying on people this man, he targeted black people here. he targeted a certain group. he got himself into the church and then allegedly said you know what i'm here to shoot black people because

mr. scott thank you very much, mr. chairman. as the ranking member of the subcommittee of jurisdiction for this bill, i'd like to address right quickly, if i could, the three major areas of contention here. we put a lot of time, a lot of work in this over the years. first, we want to deal with, as mr. peterson, brought up, some of his concerns and share how we're responding to that. i'm a sponsor of this bill. we worked on it. it's a similar bill to what we had before. first area i want to deal with is cross-border. then we'll go to cost-benefit analysis and then end users. now what is important for the house to understand is that -- and the people of this nation -- is that we operate in a global market and our united states financial system is best served with deep financial liquidity. but if global regulations are not well harmonized are not well coordinated or we have good cross-border access then these global markets will fragment into separate regulatory jurisdictions and become far less l

. >> you say you don't like the comparison people have made between mr. scott what's happened there. what are you referring to? >> well walter scott was gunned down and slain by -- as an unarmed man by a police officer. here we have a gentleman who went in and callously killed nine people. the similarity for me lies in the fact that we have these people, these people of color, these people who when i look in the mirror look like me who were robbed of their human dignity. and that's a problem. and that's what weighs heavy on my heart. >> thank you so much for joining us and i know that it was very difficult for you to talk with us today. we do not take it lightly that you found the courage to continue to speak in the middle of all of your pain as well. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you miss hall for shedding light on this. >> pastor steven singleton joins me now. he was pastor of the emanuel church from 2006 to 2010. pastor pastor, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> you will have people from all denominations come there

you may recall this april 4 widely circulated video taken by a bystander with a phone showing mr. scottto run with his back to officer slager. officer slager just a few yards away fires a total of eight times. cnn's national correspondent suzanne malveaux is in our washington bureau with reaction to the indictment. suzanne? >> ashleigh, this indictment unlike the other cases we've seen involving these police shootings, it was expected. and the reason why, well, you saw the video that went viral showing the video a few days later. also the fact that officer michael sleigher has been sitting in jail ever since having been quickly fired from the department, arrested and charged with murder back in april. so to remind our viewers, it was cell phone video recorded by someone just passing by, showed walter scott who initially had been pulled over by slager for a faulty break light running away from slager, an alleged tussle over slager's taser gun. but this video showing slager fired his gun eight times, five of which hit scott who was pronounced dead at the scene. according to north charlest

this story becoming the national headline and the video coming out, their family maintained that mr. scott was gunned down this innocent man over a traffic stop a minor incident. were it not for that video, do you believe that we would be at this point now where there is a charge here? >> i don't think so. i think the forensics would have showed some evidence of him being shot in the back but the cops could have covered that up. but with a video, there is definitely proof that he was definitely not struggling and that he was running away and he was gunned down. >> i know that your family has talked about faith and sticking together through this but you have a long road ahead of you. we've seen many cases from trayvon martin on where families thought that they would receive what they saw as justice only to have a jury see it differently. have you prepared your family for both outcomes, quite honestly one that you would want to see and the other that would be heartbreaking? >> yes we have. and it could go either way. but we are looking for a guilty verdict in the case and that's what we woul
