mr. greenblatt, from marlin steel, a small manufacturer that has grown significantly. trade secret threat can pose a existent shal theft in a thief succeeds in stealing your secret sauce, it could mean the end of the business, but for a firm like marlin steel, it could mean the end. securing your trade secrets and asserting your rights in court can also be significantly expensive relative to the size of your business. i saw this in my own experience. can you speak to how existence of a federal private right of action would reduce the cost of protecting trade secrets and have woun uniform standard might threat then your ability to go after those that steal your trade secrets. >> the defend trade secrets act is well drafted and will help us go around the state system, which is very inefficient and very slow and it's very expensive. lit companies can't afford having lawyers in five different states on retainers trying to go after a bad actor. it would be much more elegant if we could have a federal jurisdiction on this matter, and much more efficient. the coon/hatch bill

mr. boehner. this chart couldn't be more clear. this redline is u.s. steel employment in the united states between 1990 and 2014. in 1990 the company employed 258,000 people. today it employs 149,000 workers. the green line is steel imports in the united states. it's as clear as day. the more steel imported, the less jobs in the united states. the steel industry is in trouble. thousands of middle class jobs are at risk. we know free trade and imported steel is to blame. our elected officials don't do a damn thing about it. we know how to fix this problem. but then again, you might have to go against the money grubbers out there who line the pockets of these politicians that want nothing but deregulation. import everything. no tariffs or fair trade. it's free. have at it! the low ball wins. the only thing standsing in our way is the republican speaker of the house who won't bring any initiatives to the floor for a vote whatsoever so deal with this issue. and yet they say they care about jobs. mr. boehner. when you went home to ohio, did you meet any of these

and i could give you names of companies, one after the other like what wereton steel, talk about mr. oral b. i could give you 25 names of corporations that have just cold-heartedly closed down, moved their material to mexico and laid people off. >> that's a cold-hearted capitalism we have today. what we've got to do is try to turn that around and bring good jobs back here. and the way to do it is to stop these crazy trade agreements, and we've got to stop that because they are the ones that are letting corporations just move out of this country and they don't care what the con sequences are. >> don't they get rewarded -- don't those corporations get rewarded by their shareholders by cutting costs and their consumers for offering the same product or service for less money than they were when they were being produced in america? conscience. it's exactly the problem. and they can say, i made a few pennies more by laying off americans and then you have this show. what happened to the middle class? now, the question is: what do we do about that? number 1, let's each elect politicians that

mr. smith. we'll now open up for public comments. public comment will be 2 minutes and i have a number of cards. kim gilgenberg steel. gabriel [speaker not understood]. kerry [speaker not understood]. mary lawrence hicks. jeff sheehy. [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. jorge [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. and armando hernandez. you don't have to testify in the same exact order that i -- and i'm sorry, before we go, i apologize. carolyn from supervisor campos's office is here and supervisor campos did co-sponsor this hearing request with me. >> thank you so much. and thank you, everyone. supervisor campos what unable to be here, but he asked me to scum and just communicate his support for main tabing san francisco's model of care and [speaker not understood]. it is critical that we the city step up and make sure these services are funded. we are very gratified to hear the mayor plans to include this in his budget and look forward to working with you all. thank you. >> thank you very much. okay, now we'll go to public comment. >>> good afternoon, my name i

mr. pleasure at sight of extraordinary power manhood? in an attempt to give an edge to chinese industries, these guys stole trade secrets from corporations like westinghouse, u.s. steel, alcoa and the renewable energy company solar world. of course, the chinese can't do their own sorely research since they no longer have access to the sun. (laughter) folks, this is a major threat to our financial future. the chinese already know how to manufacture all our electronics. now they're trying to learn how to design them. if they also figure out how to buy them and drop them in the toilet when they're drunk, america will have no no role in the world economy! and just listen to the devious way they cyber hacked our mainframe-bots! >> a favorite technique the government says, spear fishing, sending an innocuous looking email that when opened secretly installs mallware letting the hackers get access to company data. >> stephen: this exploits a weakness in our encryption software, the fact that at least one employee will click on it. there's your problem, that one stupid employee. i mean, how hard can it be just to not click on an email? i'll show you how it's done. here's what

mr. gerard? >> if i could, when you talked about how it would affect the global steel industry, let's remember thate got millions of tons of over-capacity. they've deliberately created that over-capacity because their objective is to flood our market, to drive our businesses out of business, and they're doing that in all the sectors of the economy that i just represented. and we need to not only slam the door shut because of their cheating, we need to slam the door shut because our trade language does not work. we have to first lose jobs and market share. our companies have to first lose money before we can succeed in a trade case. the chinese are hacking into our stuff so they can figure that out and flood our market. when we win the case, we've already lost jobs. >> ed, let me give another example of what the government can do. we should have a policy in place that the american tax money is spent on american. made equipment and goods. whether it's steel or solar equipment, whatever. use our money to rebuild the american economy. that kind of legislation needs to be put in place as part of the buy

mr. washington. final speaker then. >> thank you, supervisors, good afternoon, san francisco domestic violence consortium. i first want to say it's been an honor to work with adult probation, chief steele and their team. this is a huge opportunity for the city to take a huge step forward and fill a gap. i would like to tell a quick story, because i have one case that i think illustrates several opportunities for us to be way more accountable as a city and help victims and their families. so i received contact with a victim of domestic violence through a supervisor's office last summer. i sat through the trial with this survivor, and she was quite assertive. she knew her lost wages and costs were. when we talk about housing, the screen door was torn off. and the windows broken. and she had to of course, as you imagine in this housing market, she had to repair her housing right away. that's all out of pocket. she was in some ways a model case to move forward towards restitution. i think everybody along the way did everything they could to help. her supervisor tried to help. the d.a. handled the case well, and restitution was set, which we have heard was not in a lot of cases. but the off

mr. murphy: on monday, charges were filed against members of the communist chinese military affirming what i as chairman of the congressional steel caucus and other members have contended for quite some time. it proves we're losing manufacturing jobs not because the u.s. stopped making great products but because the chinese government is stealing ideas, inventions and intellectual property straight out of western pennsylvania. the chinese government has hacked into our computers, stolen blueprints, erected trade barriers all to give state-owned enterprises an unfair and illegal advantage in the american marketplace. for example in 2010 as american factories were shutting down because of dumped and illegally traded chinese pipe, chinese agents were trying to cheat import as well. they hacked into computers at u.s. steel and the united steelworkers union to obtain privileged communications about the crucial unfair trade case being litigated before the commission on the oil company tubular goods from china. this will help us apply the same crackdown on crimes. by dumping these goods into the u.s. market, countries like china are in

steel to go into these works. i commepped our full committee chairman mr. shuster for the man for the which he conducted himself and all moves our committee, both sides of the aisle, as well as the staff, for the transparency, openness and cooperation that's brought this legislation where it is today and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from pennsylvania. . the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman roips. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. shuster: i recognize mr. gibbs from ohio. for 2 1/2 minutes. mr. gibbs: thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for your hard work. now is the time for congress to re-engage in the development of the nation's water resources and play a bigger role in prioritizing projects and activities carried out by the army corps of engineers. ongress cannot continue to abdicate its constitutional responsibility and reassert itself in the face of an administration that creates a one size fits all policy with little or no transparency. the conference report of h.r. 3080, the wate

mr. steyer 's hand. he has launched a grassroots campaign calling attention to their not debating him. what will carbon limitations due to the steelustry? i do not believe they will be much of an impact. manufacturing itself will probably be hit by any kind of epa program. there is no steel versus other areas, however. gary in sterling, virginia, on our line for republicans. caller: three things i would .ike to say about co2 the first is an elementary school experiment where you take a piece of bread, two pieces of red and two jars. you what -- you put one piece of bread in a jar, close it up, and breathe on it three or four times and then close it up. long story short, in a year, the one you briefed on has three percent more co2 will be dust. the other one will be a shriveled up shrunken piece of bread. it will still have structural integrity that you can tell was a piece of bread. that is one of the effects of co2. will get moreou moss, mold, and mildew. a lot of things will grow better , but they will not have as much sugar in them. you need to do that experiment. i know a 300-year-old forest that 50 years ago, the moss was two

mr. livingston, if the students or the athletic department or university were to lock the players out like at a steel mill, during the collective bargaining process, with the students be able to attend class? >> the only experience we have sports is withal the entire league that goes on strike. >> that is with professional sports. >> in college, we don't have it so we don't know what would happen. would they stay in their dorms? would they have to leave class? those are unanswered questions. >> certainly unanswered. , northwestern is in the big ten conference along with two schools in indiana, one being perdue in my district. let's say that northwestern student athletes were to unionize and proceed to either strike or be locked out. how would that affect the rest of the conference? not being at northwestern, i don't know if it is appropriate for me to jump on that. >> using your experience and knowledge, what do you think would happen? >> it would be difficult to continue to schedule. a similarford were in situation, what would be the affect? opt toford might not continue to compete at the level we a

steel workers. jobs were saved, factories stayed open because of these trade cases and that's precisely why china's targeting these companies. mr. president, we know a couple of things. we know the chinese will do just about anything to get ahead economically. fair enough. but we also know that china will cheat and spy, the best example is currency manipulation which makes chinese exports more competitive when you manipulate the currency, when china sells products into the united states the price is less, basically subsidizing chinese exports into the u.s. putting u.s. workers out of jobs. when u.s. companies export to china, the prices are higher for these american goods making them significantly less than competitive, if you will, in china. when china cheats on currency our workers at u.s. steel and valoek steel in youngstown and t.m.c. in brookfield, these workers lose out. when our workers suffer, our economy suffers. a report by the peterson institute of conservative think tank, found the currency manipulation by foreign governments cost the united states between -- quite a range -- 1 million and 5 million jobs. increasing

mr. livingstone if the students were to strike or the athletics department or university were to walk the players out like you have the steel mill let's say during the collective bargaining process with the students be able to attend class? >> the only experience we have in professional sports where the entire league typically goes on strike or is locked out. >> professional sports. >> in college because we don't have it. >> for the college you have classes. >> would they have to vacate their dorms? would they have to leave class of? those are unanswered questions. >> certainly the law or the regulations or anything else. northwestern is than the big 10 conference as you know along with two schools in indiana won one in perdue in my district. let's say that northwestern students athletes were to unionize and proceed to either strike or be locked out. how would that affect the rest of the conference? using your knowledge. >> not being at northwestern i don't know if it's appropriate for me to jump on that. >> i said using your experience and knowledge what you think would happen? how do you feel? >> would be difficult to con

mr. livingston, if the students were to strike or if the athletics department or university were to lock the players out like you'd have at a steel mill, let's say, during the collective bargaining process, would the students be able to attend class? >> that's an unanswered question. the only experience we really have is in professional sports whereas the entire league that typically goes on strike or -- >> that's in professional sports. >> but in college because we don't have it, we don't know what would happen. >> because in college you have classes, right? >> would they be able to stay in their dorms? would they have to vacate those? would they have to leave class or start paying for it? those are unanswered questions. >> right. certainly unanswered by the law or the regulations or anything else. mr. muir, northwestern is in the big ten conference, as you know, along with two schools in indiana, one being perdue in my district. purdue in my district. let's say northwestern student athletes were to unionize and proceed to either strike or be locked out, how would that affect the rest of the conference? using your knowledge and

mr. lynn spent a lot of time and i didn't have planas being a lynch issa. he spent a lot of time bashing steeltainers. from a factual standpoint isn't true that 91 million homes to not receive in the door delivery while ready 7.8 +-plus-or-minus-sign 1,000,002? that's the cluster including apartment and condo or nurse all over america. 91 million plus or minus two not get into their door while 37.82. >> yes i agree that that's the ratio. >> it's amazing for that ratio of more than two out of every three who are already part of the savings of not having to walk all the way to the door and simply less labor and that it's been proven and calculated by the post office in cbo that labor savings for less than one third of americans is billions of dollars in ultimately a question for you those billions of dollars per year in just her our modest 15 million less than half of those being averted is scored to go over $20 billion in savings in cost to the post office. let's just go to the numbers. your customers a shipper. you all agree to that whether you like it or not, right? the shipper gets a value b
