mr. thomas to discuss the case. we believe we have made some extent moot some of the penalties that are here in this appeal. the one thing that we are confused about and we are having difficulty with were illustrated by some of the exhibits in the packet. i have pulled them out separately for your examination. i will show what you they are. basically, on one of the items that's involved in the appeal here, it's called violation 241 because those of the last two digits of the complaint numbers. this is involving the stairs of the subject property. this is in march of 2011. the building owner took the steps to fix that by getting a building permit and paid $2300. in january of this year, this work was approved and is cleared and got a certificate of completion. two months after that, this permit approval was revoked which means penalties continue to accumulate on this even though the work has been done and an approved and the reason why because of the gerard unit is on appeal. >> thank you. >> there is no question fro

mr. thomas and thank you mr. rose for being here. we have an agreement for the department. motion to accept mr. rose's -- >> i may ask that we add and the department include language and provide a copy of the contract when it becomes final. >> we can do so. any comments from the department about that. i assume that's a standard procedure. we can add an additional amendment. so we can do mr. rose's an amendments and the amendments articulated by the clerk. >> before we -- >> we can accept those oppositions without move. >> i actually -- i appreciate the last comments from mr. giver and from mr. rose as well. i do not believe we have a real modified emergency here especially because of lag time that came between discovery and when emergency was really declared and when work was actually performed. i think there was probably assessments made by not work. and an emergency would require something a that would be much more immediate in the response from the city. so i just want to make sure -- i'm not sure how we beef up our abilities to -- when we declare -- from the time when w

mr. thomas you've only got a 3 unit building here this permit says 4 units. oh, my god i thought it was resolved. this is going to a legal unit and maybe somebody didn't get the memo. so any way i you can help me i appreciate it >> can i just clarify one thing i released that the lawsuit the code enforcement in my office was taking care of that. >> i think we have a comment from the deputy. >> there is a standard for - the appellant could go to the fourth floor and do a 3 hour report and he could a appeal the 3 unit and heel meet with a member of staff that will be on the 3rd floor. that member of staff will make the determination of how many units and if we agree with him there's evidence of the fourth unit i'll go to planning and that's how the process works. and he'll get a clear process of how many units there are >> that's what the appellant did do. >> so obviously - i would like to make a motion to continue this for one month and just vote on that. if we have to vote let's vote and i second that motion >> on the question what is to happen in this one mo

mr. thomas didn't give up. trying to handcuff somebody who doesn't want to be handcuffed is not an easy task. the officers were holding down his shoulders, his lex finally were able get him handcuffed. >> anthony thomas is finally subdued and cuffed and taken to loran county jail. >> mr. thomas came into the department on a contemptive court charge, a low grade misdemeanor. he left our department with assaulting an officer, a felony charge. >> he pleads guilty and is convicted and sentenced to time served plus three years probation. he must undergo psychological treatment and evaluation. officer witt sustained middle eastern injuries. >> we don't have time to be afraid. we react. it's afterwards, that's when you think to yourself, wow, it could have been bad. >> coming up, a deputy gets taken for a ride across a busy highway. >> my life was flashing before my eyes. >> later, choreographed chaos in a prison yard. >> just like that, somebody gives somebody a coup, it's people chasing other people with knives. >> w

mr. thomas and his agent at the time was an structural engineer. we talked about all the costs involved. as a good faith gesture i indicated to him at that time that the assessment of costs that was associated with that particular tracking number i believe it's 401 which had an amount of $2,100 we would set that aside because he was being assisted through all the other numerous violations. we didn't place that on the loins. but looking at all the various line items we didn't feel that anything else could be taken off. so the issue of the illegal unit is not a issue of any merit because we signed off on a permit that he aborted and this is no permit issue there was any stand alone permit. even his agent did the research and this is what he proposed so that's not an issue. we decided to set aside all the other assessment of of costs we feel are valid. so i want you to understand that. so whether you take jurisdictions or not those are facts to be aware of. >> commissioner lee - >> and we're looking at besides the $2,200 we're looking at 22 thousand a

mr. thomas. any public comment? any comments or questions from the commission? commissioner walker? >> i feel that this particular issue, there hasn't been an order of abatement with this issue and we lack jurisdiction. i think that the department is really who should be dealing with these violations and property owner should be dealing with our inspectors. i would support a motion. i'm happy to make it unless somebody else wants to make it. >> i was going to say when this item came before us last month, the paperwork was filed by the appellant's attorney, the night before and we had very little time and certainly our attorney janis didn't have enough time to read everything and be able to give us the thorough analysis of the issues involved but we've since had a month and have read everything and feel pretty confident that i have done my due diligence on this and i don't think that we should be granting jurisdiction. i this i that the owner has certainly issues that he thinks he knows some factual things the city doesn't agree with but i don't think that it is our place to be resol

mr. thomas, justice thomas enjoys this kind much provocative and somehow extreme example and comparison. always been puzzling to many of us why justice thomas indicts the very affirmative action program that allowed him to get into the holy cross college and yale law school. i know i benefited from affirmative action. the doors that were opened at the university of pennsylvania and georgetown university law center were opened because of affirmative action. once those doors were opened, the question is, were people able to perform with distinction, were they able to walk through the doors and do the work that was necessary. we still have a compelling interest in this nation in achieving diversity in in thisfation's best colleges and universities. i there that today's decision means that that fight continues. i wouldn't read too much into the decision of the court because the case was actually sent back and they're going to be further proceedings and the case could be back in the supreme court sometime in the future. >> nia-malika, the court appears to have taken an acceptableful perhaps t

mr. chairman, i yield two minutes to my colleague thomas vice chairman of the house committee committee, mr. chairman, cost to red herring argument. does it cost more to keep a detainee in guantÁnamo been a federal prisoner here? probably. for example, if you look back at the fiscal year 2011 department of justice budget request for moving the detainees to the u.s., it ends up on the first year being about $1.9 million per detainee and about $500,000 per detainee in recurring costs. on the other side, even the president in a speech at the national defense university says that it is less than $1 million per prisoner now per detainee. is there a difference? yes. is it anything like we have been hearing? no. under the geneva convention if you are holding somebody under the laws of war, you cannot put them with federal prisons. .hey have to be segregated those costs of bringing them here are higher. that is not really the issue. the issue is, what is the best thing to do to secure the country and to deal with the terrorist threat? i would just remind everybody that the ban on closing guantÁna

but i should say, thomas, there are still a lot of questions about exactly what happened here. from everything we know about mr. snowden's job, you can sort of see how he would have had access to those prism documents which did involve interacting with private contractors. it's still unclear how he could have had access to that fisa court order that laid out and showed how verizon was turning over all its records to the nsa. that is not something, from what we know about his job, you could see why he would have had access to that. so it does raise the questions how he got it and were there other people out there who might have helped get that out. >> you make a great point of the privatization of national security in this country. booz allen makes a quarter of its revenue from work in u.s. intelgs and that is huge and another contract with the pentagon worth up to $5.6. the company put out a statement the other day saying snowden has been an employee of our firm less than three months in hawaii. this individual claims to have leaked classified information is shocking and if accurate this action presents a grav

. >> thomas, this is one of a few problems facing the white house. i would not be quick to judgment as mr. issa has been, or continue to be forever, but fact is that we need an explanation. now, irs is under the jurisdiction primarily of the ways and means committee and so, we're going to have our own hearings on this to find out who they were investigating. rightfully so or not rightfully so. and we get to the bottom of it because we believe in a transparent government in america and it can't just be lip service and can't be platitudes and empty words, so we need to get to the bottom of this. there's no question about this. you cannot just slug it off. and these conferences that they have, i want to see if they're meaningful or not and i believe this is going to mean some clean out in the irs regardless of who the president would be or the circumstances. there's no denying this. but the irs is always a pin cushion. so we want to come out of this with something meaningful. we want to get to the bottom of it. to make the irs better placed to work and a better place for an agency in the uni

mr. barrow: i thank the gentlelady. i will close this by recalling the words of thomas carlisle, an advocate of the great man theory of history. carlisle wrote that history is but the biography of great men. if that's true, the legislative history of this country for over a century has been the biography of john dingell. the gratitude for his service, example and the friendship for our honoree and depratest affection, i will yield back -- it looks like the gentleman would like a rebuttal. mr. dingell: i don't know whether to rebut or agree. mr. barrow: i yield to mr. dingell. mr. dingell: i want to begin by thanking mr. hoyer, our leader and our whip, and our dear riend mr. barrow, a wonderful, courage ageous the gentleman from georgia who has to fight to remain here. and you, mr. kildee, you have a great family name. your uncle was my dear friend. i'm satisfied that he is going to be very, very proud of you and grateful for your friendship. and i thank gene green for his kind words about me. wonderful man, wonderful wife. his concerns are about people. and i want to say how much the remarks of my colleague from maryland, don

mr. president, those are the language -- that's the language of the declaration of independence, one of the grievances against king george iii in the immortal words of thomas jefferson, was limitations on immigration. endeavoring to prevent the population of these states. that was an original formation, an original idea at the heart of the united states. looked at in the context of our history, this debate that we're having this week is somewhat disappointing but not surprising. it's serious in its particulars but it's amazing in its totality. here we have a room full of descendants of immigrants arguing about the conditions of immigration. sure, most of our ancestors in this room entered the country legally, but that was because there were virtually no laws about immigration for the majority of our history. for most of our history, if you could pay the cost, you could enter the country. that's the fundamental premise of america. what are we afraid of? are we afraid of people with courage, people with imagination, people with initiative, people with perseverance? before coming to this body, i taught at boden college and a course on leaders and leadership a

stuffed animals, sunglasses, swag like kazoos, and thomas the tank engine wristbands and bathtub toys. there's a lot more. you can't make this up, mr. speaker. were they ever disciplined by the i.r.s.? of course not, this is the i.r.s. they are the law. mr. speaker, it's time to audit the tax man and the tax collectors. the squandered money should be returned in full to the treasury with interest penalty just like the tax collectors charge citizens when they audit us. an that's just the way it is. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from texas seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise today to warn my colleagues about the corker-hoeven amendment within the senate's immigration bill. to my colleagues concerned with the fiscal health of our country, i call your attention to this provision which will commit $50 billion to double the size of the border patrol, at a tame when we have record low northbound apprehension
