mr. scott. mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentlelady for yielding. i rise in support of s. 461 as amended, the hbcu partners act. since their inception they have been eng engines of social mobility and cornerstone of secondary education for underserved students, particularly black students from low-income backgrounds. today hbcu's account for no more than 3% of all colleges and universities in the country, yet these institutions as we have heard produce nearly 20% of all black undergraduates, half all black professionals, and a third all black stem degree earners. despite this outsized role in expanding access to higher education, hbcu's continue to be underresourced compared to other institutions of higher learning. this historic lack of support is being further exacerbated by the covid-19 pandemic as hbcu's disproportionately suffer from dramatically lower enrollment and state funding. mr. speaker, there's simply no better time to support these critical institutions than by passing this legislation before us today. hbcu's partnership act would ensu

mr. scott: thank you chairman johnson. first of all, i want to tha the senator for hisffort to figure out how we can stop shutting down government. when i came up here with senator braun two years ago we were in a government shutdown, and nobody wins. it doesn't work for any part of the government if the government gets shut down. i know that talking to the appropriations chair and the ranking member, that they are also focused on making sure what he can we do to make sure we pass budgets, pass our spending bills and don't shut down government. like a lot of us, i came up here and i came up two yearsing a, i want to fight the way washington has been working, make sure it works for all florida families, not just for career politicians. i've got a background in business like chairman johnson does. in the real world, if you don't do your job, you don't get paid. it's pretty simple. if congress can't accomplish its most basic task, which i believe is passing a budget and appropriations bills in an orderly fashion, why should w

mr. alexander. >> scott, they're calling the roll. let's pick the conversation back up while we await comments from the senate majority leader. talk a little about what a tricky situation it must be for georgia republican senators who have military bases in georgia. at the same time, the senate is voting on overriding the president's veto of that bill. >> this bill is important for georgia, has a lot of military facilities, and frankly important for the country. the country in a bipartisan way, we talk about the parties being at each other's throats, but this is a bipartisan bill, they always passed the defense authorization bill, it is always bipartisan. they did a good bill here. i don't think it was smart for the president to veto it. it was almost certain it would be an override situation for him. that leaves him looking weaker when the president gets an override vote like that. >> all right. let's pause, scott. pause and listen to mcconnell. >> yesterday, a bipartisan super majority of the house voted to reapprove the conference

mr. king to chief scott and the dhr director and this story was published february 12th of 2020. two days later, then police commission president asked us to determine whether police department personnel and management have complied with the department policies prohibiting racial discrimination. we met with president hirsch after ways we could potentially address this issue and looked at existing efforts in other jurisdictions similar audit work performed in other jurisdictions and potential projects that dha could work on. i do want to stop here and talk about the budget process because obviously all of this work takes resources and funding that is pretty specialized and in february we proposed to accomplish this work on various funding levels and so we had kind of the bear bones option and two larger option that would be more well funded and that was right before covid hit and we got instructions to cut our budget even more and the budget got shifted to later in the summer and two of the positions that we had to cut in order to meet our budget targets were two auditing position

scott, n.p.r. reporter: thank you, mr. chairman. some forecasters have suggested there is a lot of pent up demand for travel and entertainment and services and the like that might stop being pent up in a hurry if we do get to a point where the vaccine is widely distributed. and that the beaten down service sector might have trouble meeting that demand in a hurry. how might that affect inflation in your mind, and would that be just a transient problem or something that might warrant closer scrutiny? chair powell: that has all the markings of a transient increase in the price levels. you can imagine that as people really want to travel again, let's say that airfare, imagining this, they go up. what inflation is is a process whereby they go up year upon year upon year. given the inflation die naminks that we have had over -- dynamics that we have had over the last several decades, just a single sort of price level increase has not resulted in ongoing price level increases. that was -- problem back in the 1970's was it was the combinati

scott morrison's outrage. translation: i feel sympathetic for him. and fully understand mr morrison's mood right now. showing scott morrison in the right of frame covering a dead body while pointing a finger at a chinese cartoonist. and we see the press focuses on the cartoonist, too. but this doesn't add up. the world's press covered the release of the report on afghanistan in huge detail. here's the new york times with the headline "blood lust and demigods: behind an australian force's slaughter of helpless afg ha ns". cnn also went with a culture of "blood lust". it was also reported in the indian express and germany's deutsche welle. and many many more outlets. seen in isolation, this whole row appears to have escalated very quickly, but this is part of something far bigger. through 2020, relations have worsened, not least because australia called for an international inquiry into how covid—19 began in china. and china has imposing hefty tariffs on australian exports, including wine. as the chinese are well aware, that stings. china is the biggest destination for australian wine. and while the st
