mr. sherman from california raise with you, and mr. mulvaney, to try to get your position actually nailed down on richmond california's proposed use of eminent domain to seize performing mortgages. a number of times over the last year i have sent letters, and i know mr. miller and mr. campbell, my colleagues in the senate as well, have tried to get the administration to come out, to state your position on the proposed use of eminent domain to seize mortgages. and my question is, if you would make that statement? >> so i appreciate you asking this question again because i think it was the former times that i've gotten past it, it's the end of the question as opposed to beginning which makes it hard to give a full answer, but what i've been trying to say here is that we do believe that eminent domain authority in general is a local and state authority, and it needs to be -- >> will -- >> can i finish? they need to be able to make their decisions in this needs to be played out over time in terms of what impact, if any, it will ultimately

mr. sherman. thank you for the presentation and answers and responses to the questions and statements. they have been helpful. i wanted to add to a comment you made about the va and veterans being dependent on other federal departments and agencies that may or may not be funded in a piecemeal continuing resolution approach to the a i want to note that there are nearly 600,000 veterans work for the federal government and that constitutes nearly 50% of the entire federal work force. so, these men and women who've served there were country who are being furloughed or are working without an idea of when they are being paid or being hurt because of regardless what we are able to do when it comes to funding of va and the different agencies and departments within the va. that is especially important to me as a representative for texas where we have the fifth highest concentration of federal employees of any community in the country. 43,000 people that i represent work for the federal government. and if that 27% holds true, well over 12,000 of them are veterans who are being affected by this c

mr. sherman, for five minutes. mr. sherman: i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. i checked with the parliamentarian and he's informed me that it is in order to give a bipartisan speech even today. so i've got a speech that i think most members on both sides of the aisle can agree with most of. been here 17 years. been working every day for the toughest iranian sanctions we could adopt. this house has passed bill after bill. the senate passed about half of them. and over the last decade several administrations have basically refused to enforce the iran sanctions that passed both houses of congress. then about three years ago this administration started enforcing our sanctions laws. they unleashed the treasury department's office of terrorist financing and intelligence, t.f.i., and its office of reign asset control, ofac, t.f.i. and ofac are doing a great job. it's working. yes, something the federal government is doing is working. iran's supreme leader was forced to allow someone to run -- ok, one of his own insiders, to

mr. brad sherman from california. >> thank you. america provides advice to countries on the rule of law and good government. we are in a situation where many of us are embarrassed to be part of the federal government and this congress. this shutdown, what effect has it had on our image particularly in east africa as a country and the model to follow and our capacity to train, to gather information, to do the development projects aimed at hearts and minds. i realize this is away from the questions you may have prepared for but does anyone have an answer to how the shutdown is affecting our efforts in east africa? dr. jones. >> mr. chairman, i don't know what the perception is in east africa. my biggest concern the longer this grows or at least one concern is our ability to continue to monitor this threat from intelligence agencies if we have people that have been furloughed. >> there are an awful lot of folks at the state department that are being furloughed right now. trips to africa have been canceled in the last week 10 minutes,

mr. sherman, should have argued this for reasonable doubt, not that he says tommy did it.your job to say this isn't beyond a reasonable doubt because it just as easily could have been someone else. it's different than saying the judge thinks tommy did it. >> that's true although the way he marshalls the evidence against thomas skakel was certainly very unusual in my experience of reading opinions. and, look, thomas skakel has never been charged with anything. we certainly shouldn't point finger at him. but here we have this almost 40-year-old mystery. >> yes. >> and you know, it still gets more and more complicated. >> the victim's family deserves answers. they think they have them. we'll leave it on this. if it's going to be hard to retry a michael skakel, it would be almost impossible to try anybody else. >> i don't think there will be another trial in this case. >> jeffrey toobin, mr. colucci, thank you. kate, over to you. >>> coming up next on "new day," he's breaking his silence and opening up about a deadly drunk driving crash. matthew cordle is in prison, set to spe

mr. sherman: this government, the government of the greatest nation on earth, will reopen only when the public decides when one party is being uncompromising and unreasonable. the continuing resolution that the senate sent us sets the spending level and it sets the level right there at the publican ryan budget level $250 billion below the president's request, $72 billion below the senate democratic budget. when it comes to spending levels, we have compromised. it is unreasonable to shut down the government to achieve the legislative objective. today we are told they will keep the government open for 45 or 60 ays if only we allow them to dismantle obamacare. in december, they'll see we'll stripmine yellowstone. what if democrats said we are going to shut down government until we got immigration reform or gun control? we are as dedicated to those issues as they are to their quest to rebeal obamacare. we will not shut down the government or destroy the economy and not take hostages or hurt this country to get our own way. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady

mr. sherman voted yes. ms. moore said yes, mr. perlmutter said yes. mr. himes said yes. mr. peters said yes. mr. carney, mr. foster, mr. kildee, mr. delaney, mrs. beatty, and mr. heck to name just a few who joined with republicans to work in a borne manner to stand with americans, stand with american investors, realizing at the end of the day part of the problem in washington is too many agencies that are not communicating with each other. lack of communication is some of the problems we have seen in this country in the last few weeks and months. all we're suggesting is that the various agency the s.e.c. and department of labor, actually coordinate, work together, and work for the benefit of investors. how will they do that? the s.e.c., who is principally charged with the responsibility of looking at the areas of broker dealers and investment advisors and you know there's a difference on how they're treated right now and there's a reason for that, and they've been treated differently for three, four, five, eight decades or so. the s.e.c. will be looking at this. as the gentl

mr. zarise and wendy sherman. we learned that they stood up with a power point presentation that laid out the compromises on the nuclear program. shortly thereafter, the meeting broke up so all parties will be studying that very carefully. you mentioned that rouhani has changed iran's tune, really. that's unmistakable. not only with that landmark phone call with president obama, but also, he's been pushing back at the hawks at home. he's told the revolutionary guard corps, the very anti-western military force. to back off, to stay out of the politics. he's been backed by that by iran's supreme leader. so this is an administration that wants to deal. however, it comes down to how badly do they want those sanctions lifted. and what are they willing to give? we should know sometime in the next 48 hours. charlie and norah. >> thank you, liz. at least they're talking. >>> a powerful earthquake rocked the philippines. at least 85 people are dead. more than 100 aftershocks were record but no tsunami was generated. seth d

mr. chairman. thank you, secretary sherman. thank you for being here. think there's a question in the minds of many us about credibility. back in -- mr. boone is one of the most trusted figures of the islamic regime's supreme leader -- mr. rouhani. he has been deputy speaker of parliament, and as we know, he also served as a negotiator. and then on the interview that he gave, and which is out there on the internet, quote the day that we invited the three european ministers, only 10 centrifuges were spent at the iranian nuclear facility. rouhani boasted on the tape, we could not produce one grant of you for or you six. we do not have the heavy water production we could not produce devotee. our total production of centrifuges inside the country is 150. but then rouhani admitted innovative the purpose of along in negotiations quote we wanted to complete all of these we needed time. he said three european ministers promised to block use of force, transfer the iranian nuclear dossier to the united nations using the to power if necessary. he called iran's clai

mr. secretary panetta and sherman nussle. is there any reason to expect this budget conference to be any more successful than the supercommittee was? has anything changed? you still have the many -- the major sticking points that prevented them from doing anything. >> this is not going to be easy. nobody ought to assume that this is going to be easy. the hard work begins now. the kind of game playing that went on over these last few weeks with the shutdown of the debt limit and all of the threats and counter threats that went on, that's kind of politics of this town. the hard work is to sit down and walked through -- walk through the entitlements and determine what reforms he to me made, what savings can be achieved, look at discretionary spending, lay out a path for that, and look for tax reform. somebody was with me at the time we sat down at andrews air force base and went through that process and walked through all of the entitlements and walked through discretionary spending and then walk through the whole tax arena. we

mr. skakel made statements that were inculpatory, meaning that he confessed but there is nothing. no connection. i'm florida there is appeal. i do know mickey shermanhe is highly tell 20 attorney. the strategy should never be questioned. i don't think his standard fell below the objective standard of reasonableness but i am happy that mr. skakel is getting that appeal. jon: pilar, there are statements in the record that mickey sherman said he wanted to be a television attorney. we used him from time to time as an expert on fox. he was going to make a name for himself as a result of this trial. >> jon i certainly make any comments about being a television attorney considering we're sitting here on fox. i don't think one thing has to do with the other. we comment on cases that has nothing to do whether he provided effective representation in the trial or not. jon: there are a lost cases, john, where motive is never exactly established. you have two young teenagers. it could have really been anything. do you think that will be a big part figuring out whether he gets a new trial? >> motive is not a consideration for the, for the jury, motivation is not

mr. speaker, i move to suspend the rules and pass h.r. 185. the clerk: house calendar number 57. h.r. 185. a bill to designate the united states courthouse located at 101 east pee can street in sherman, texas, as the paul broun united states courthouse. the speaker pro tempore: pursuant to the rule, the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. barletta, and the gentleman from indiana, mr. carson, each will control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. barletta: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on h.r. 185. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. barletta: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. barletta: h.r. 185 would designate the united states courthouse located at 101 east pecan street in sherman, texas, as the paul broun united states courthouse. during world war ii, judge paul broun enlisted in the united states navy. in 1950 he graduated from the university of texas school of law and started a law practice in sherman, texas.

mr. takkeyh, speaking of october, and we will know soon obviously, but what is it that you think iran's foreign minister is going to say to secretary kerry and secretary sherman? >> my guess is they're going to try to suggest, create a degree of cooperation with the iaea which follows up on the promise of transparency. i think they have been for a long time interested in selling 20% enrichment, and to some extent prime minister netanyahu will remiss in emphasizing 20% when the problem has always been enrichment at 3.5%, and that is taking place at industrial scale in the towns. i wrong in seven trying to sell the 20% for a long time, so i suspect they might table something about 20% exchange for sanctions relief, such as that may not directly involve the united states congress such as swiss accounts and so and so forth for some aspects of the european commerce. so you kind of come out of that meeting by suggesting some agreements have been made that deal at least with the outer perimeters of the nuclear issue. that would be on, my guess would be on the upscale of what they could offer. >> so back to what senator menendez was asking a minute ago, or talking ab

mr. chairman. thank you secretary sherman. thank you for being here. think there's a question on the minds of many us -- many of us about credibility. back in mr. rouhani was one of the most trusted figure supreme leader. he has been the deputy speaker of parliament and as we know he also served as the negotiator. then in a brief interview that he gave which is out there on the internet quote day we invited the three european ministers only 10 centrifuges were spinning at the iranian nuclear facility. rouhani posted on the tape we did not produce 1-gram of view for you six. we did did not have the heavy water production and we could not produce yellowcake. our total production was 150 but then number 18 made it in the video the purpose of prolonging negotiations quote we wanted to complete all of these and we needed time. he said three european ministers promised to block u.s. efforts to transfer iranian nuclear dossier to the united nations using veto power is necessary. iran's claim that stopped its nuclear program in 2000 3a statement for the uneduc
