mr. taylor. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you for being here, and all your work. you guys require the general counsel to inspect legislative facilities for occupational safety and health standards at least once each congress. you provide recommendations. do you currently have a list of recommendations that haven't been remediated? what happens once you make a recommendation and follow up on your end? the process the general counsel follows is detailed in the report, and it starts with an inspection and the findings. if the findings aren't corrected that could result in a citation. citations can be litigated before our board of directors. rarely does anything result in a citation, because the goal for the general counsel is to work with mediation. nature aspective in opposed to looking backward at who did what wrong. we could reserve that for the general counsel and make that available -- and make them available to you. >> fiscal year 20 you requested an increase in funds to pay for three new online training modules. can you break down the process of when they need

i bring up linda brown for a couple reasons, mrs. taylor. i want to ask mrs. parks tell me why didn't you go to the back of the bus given the risk you were taken. you could have been thrown off the bus. you could have been run over. one, i thought about emmitt till and i couldn't go back. he had been called august 8. more than that, she and fred had been meeting for six months to test the supreme court decision featuring linda brown. and the big victory was not the boycott of '55, it was the legal decision of '56. if we leave out thurgood marshall, we leave out the underpinning, the rest of what we did was a reaction. rosa parks was a reaction. the 42-year-old woman was a reaction to 9 year old girls' case in topeka. dr. king emerged emerged out of struggle, you know, highlighted by rosa parks. so the boycott was a reaction to the decision, and it won, but if without the legal decision of '54, it would have, a montgomery victory. the legal decision of '56, it became a national victory. now, all the rest of our struggles, the '57 little rock decision, was a rea

mr. taylor? >> thank you, mr. chairman. appreciate it. thank you for being here and all of your work. we appreciate it. a couple quick things. you guys require the general counsel to inspect all legislative branch facilities for compliance with occupational safety and health standards at least once each congress. as part of those inspections, you provide recommendations. do you currently have a list of recommendations that haven't been remediated? if so, how many are on the list? and what happens once you make a recommendation? is there a follow-up on your end? >> the process that the general counsel follows is actually detailed in the report. and it starts with the inspection and then their findings. and if the findings are not corrected, that could result in a citation. citations can be litigated before our board of directors. very rarely does anything result in a citation because the goal for the general counsel is to work with remediation. it's prospective in nature rather than looking backwards of who did what wrong. so that is an ongoing process. i think that's a conversation th

mr taylor, known confirmed. a police investigation is underway.o try to tackle obesity and tooth decay. the treasury says food and drink manufacturers have already reduced the amount of sugar in more than half their products, which means the levy is unlikely to bring in as much revenue as had been forecast. our health correspondent, james gallagher, reports. they're some of our favourite drinks, but the sugar tax means they're now more expensive, or the recipe's been changed. the sugar content of ribena and lucozade has been more than halved. artificial sweeteners are being used instead. but pepsi is sticking to its sweet recipe, and will now cost more. as is coca—cola, although it will come in smaller, more expensive 1.5 litre bottles. so how big is the tax? drinks that are more than around 5% sugar will be taxed at 18p per litre. those that are more than 8% sugar will be taxed at 24p per litre. the amount the treasury expects to raise has already fallen from £500 million a year to £240 million, as so many soft drinks have been redesigned. change

mr. speaker, i rise today to honor the memory of two fallen heroes back home in florida. gilchrist sergeant county knoll ramirez and deputy taylor lindsey. these two officers were tragically murdered in the line of duty during an ambush shooting on april 19. mr. speaker, these two young men were selfless heroes, patriots, and everything we aspire to be as people, as a nation, and as americans. sergeant ramirez had been in law enforcement for seven years and leaves behind two young children and a wife. he had, as sheriff bobby schultz described it, an infectious smile. deputy lindsey joined the gilchrest county sheriff's office in 2013 and dedicated his time and efforts toward getting illegal drugs off our streets. please join us in honoring gilchrest county knoll ramirez and deputy taylor lindsey and all of our fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our safety. at this time, mr. speaker, i ask that the household a moment f silence. the speaker pro tempore: the house and the gallery will stand in a moment of silence. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will entertain requests for one-minute speeches. the speaker p
