mr. thomas mayr-harting for his statement. >> mr. president the agreement reached and the endure is an important historic step towards ending the declaration surrounding iran's nuclear program. as such it has the potential to ease concerns regarding peace and security in the region and beyond. allow me mr. prez and to briefly examine significant than three different angles. firstly, germany firmly believes the agreement does in fact reduce the risk of a nuclear arms race. after long and demanding negotiations, the e.u. have achieved an incredible framework that will prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. iran has committed itself to comprehensive tech of restrictions and unprecedented transparency regime that will allow us to rule out any covert nuclear activity. the agreement is not merely built on trust. we have established a huge need and long-term set of confidence building measures. everything we agreed on will be strictly monitored. a powerful snap back mechanism will serve an additional incentive for iran to abide by its

mr. scott said. it was interesting he mentioned the events of 1954. i was in high school in 1955. people always looked at segregated schools and black schools as being inferior. we were given schoolbooks from thomas dale, who i'm certain mr. scott knows about. they were old books. we did not have new books. but we had the best group of teachers. they were segregated schools, but it was local control. when you have local control, you always have people who know what is happening in the area. i guess you would say, federal government knows best. but the federal government knows what is going on in maine and l.a. in florida, but we live in virginia. i always believe that with enough money and enough educated people, good teachers, do not forget that we had segregated schools. they were coming out of segregated colleges. you know what i'm talking about. the only way you can deal with educated people -- people don't dwell on that. the teachers were sent there and run the meeting. the parents just had to sit there and listen. you know what i'm talking about. host: we will let our guest respond. guest: teachers in the community are more likely to know the students and more likely to have parental involv

mr. ambassador, welcome back to the broadcast. always good to see you. is this about finding a solution or political -- politics? thomasr: i think it is both. i don't think a solution is going to be found in the next 24 hours. i think the expectation has been one of recklessness, that there would be a solution very soon. both sides are engaging in thetical -- politics and stakes are huge. mark: the european commission president said that any solution reached by the eurozone's 19 leaders must in his words store order to the situation. is that even possible without undertaking serious structural returns -- reforms to stop the bleeding? thomas miller: i think you can restore order and ultimately you have got to have serious structural reforms or at least an agreement. it will take years to carry it out. right now, the ingredients for agreement are definitely there. it takes two to tango and thus far you have not seen that. mark: is greece's place at stake in the eurozone? or is that crisis being overblown. ? thomas miller: it is at stake. we are in uncharted waters at this. there are no provisions for kicking a country ou

mr. gura referred to it in his reply brief as cementing a victory for plaintiffs. at the panel level we were asked, i believe by chief judge thomas whether or not that would prevent the case from going forward. and counsel agreed that it would not. in both cases, both in pareta and in richards. the reason why i took that position in richards was because as i read the district court's opinion, the changes that had been made in the law, i will address those in a minute would not have changed the district court's view. >> how do you explain, then page 8 and 9 in the pareta opinion and page 10 of the richards opinion where it seems to be that both district courts put a lot of emphasize on the present carry policy or carry law of california? and suggested then that that was maybe some reason why intermediate scrutiny would not strike down the law. because they had carry provisions which were allowed then simply you couldn't put the ammunition with the gun. >> because those exceptions still exist altbut in lesser form. they still exist. the way the scheme works that's different than the old scheme. in the old scheme and in the new sche

mr. wall: because of the mix, i do think -- i used to believe that it was not a whole lot more than lip service. that is certainly still true justice thomas. i think for the rest of them, it has come to hold i think more swayed in the granite here is frequent in halliburton case last term, and both people, a lot of people said they are going after basic be levinsohn maybe that's right. several years ago i would've said that's the easy explanation. they graded fishers of people will say they are going after the firm of action cases. i'm not so sure. the bankruptcy case this term on a precedent none of them seem to think is correct, they didn't overturn it. i actually think that for majority of the court, statutory device has more hold right now that i think it did 10 or 15 years ago. mr. goldstein: time for one more question. >> and a pakistani spectator. i attended an event yesterday on the same topic at the heritage foundation. there's a lot of resentment and anger.

thomas massie. the chair: the gentleman from kentucky is recognized for a minute and 30 seconds. mr. massie: i thank the gentleman from north carolina for his leadership on this issue. and for yielding the time to me. first the administration went after coal. now it's coming after wood heat. in march the e.p.a. finalized a new rule to regulate the type of wood burning stoves and boilers that you can buy. forcing millions of middle class americans to pay more to heat their homes. that's why i'm co-sponsoring this legislation, to stop the administration from enforcing new prohibitions on a renewable, abundant and dare i say carbon-neutral method of heating our homes. that has been with us for centuries. if it passes, our amendment to the e.p.a. funding bill will prohibit the federal government from using taxpayer money to enforce crippling regulations on wood-burning heating appliances. as the price of electricity skyrockets, due to the president's promise to bankrupt the coal industry, wood heat is a viable alternative for millions of americans. unfortunately it seems like this admini

mr. speaker, that there posterity might look up again to the declaration of independence and take courage to renew the bat chl their fathers began, unquote. thomas jefferson, whose words marked the beginning of this nation, said the care of human life and its happiness and not its destruction is the chief and only object of good government. a phrase in the fifth amendment capsulizes our entire constitution, mr. speaker. it says no person shall be deprived of life liberty, or property without due process of law. and the 14th amendment says new york state shall deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. mr. speaker, protecting the lives of all americans and their constitutional rights, especially those who cannot protect themselves, is why we are really all here. mr. speaker, not long ago i heard barack obama speak very noble and poignant words, that whether he realizes it or not applies to profoundly to this subject. let me quote excerpted portions of his comments. he said quote this is our first task, caring for our children. it is our first job. if we don't get that right, we don't get anything right. that's how a

thomas joining us on the phone. caller: guest:: good morning. my take is that mr.bama neglected to mention the fact that his and mr. holder's -- the fact that the release convicted felons who were deported over five times one of which murdered kate steinle in san francisco. and another one murdered two police officers in northern california. he has misplaced his efforts. and one last question. why is the white house refusing to lower the american flag when five of our service members were just murdered by terrorists? thank you. host: thank you for the call. edwin has this point on her twitter page.

mr. cullbertson: well, it was completed in 1885, but the money had been appropriated during the grant administration to revive it, but they didn't get around to doing it until the hayes administration. thomas casey, who was in charge of public buildings in washington, d.c., was a very good friend of the hayeses. and he was the one who oversaw it, and lucy spent a lot of time with him, because he was also the man in charge of the white house china. so she was -- she liked to take people on tours of the place. we have a famous owl, a stuffed owl at spiegel grove that got caught up in the plumb-bob within the washington monument. when the owl caused it to shake, people thought maybe there was an earthquake, and fortunately at that point, it was only the owl. and so we have it stuffed and on display at the museum in fremont. ms. swain: we've told you that the hayeses' marriage was really a love match and quite a partnership. while they were in the white house, they marked the 25th anniversary of their wedding and they did so with a public ceremony. now, all of us are going to be a little envious of this, because she actually wore her wedding dress after giving birth to eight children. that's p

mr. speaker, the president has announced he's reached a nuclear deal with iran. some of my texas constituents have contacted me because they are worried about this dangerous and irresponsible deal. thomas davis of houston wrote we must not finance terrorism or in any way support iran's gaining of nuclear weapons. thomas is rightfully concerned. since iran will soon receive billions of dollars they could continue to sponsor their terrorist groups worldwide. also, the deal legitimatizing iran's nuclear weapon program development in 10 years. thomas continues. i also urge you to disregard the u.n.'s premature acceptance as they do not accept something for us or authorize spending our money. if their action does give iran funds from an account we supplement then defund the account. wise words from citizen thomas davis. given the u.n. the first say on the nuclear deal and not congress was misguided. the u.n. vote of approval will not intimidate me into voting for this deal. this deal will make the world less safe, less free, and make iran a world nuclear weapon power. isn't that lovely. that's just the way it is. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois see

mr. coons: if i might just in conclusion, we have a range of highly qualified nominees, armando bonilla who has spent his entire two-decade career with the department of justice and has an excellent record. thomashalkowski a respected partner at fish and richardson in delaware and who has a wealth of experience before a variety of different federal courts. i think all three of the nominees i have referenced today would make excellent additions. while my colleague from arkansas and i might view the caseload and its complexity differently i think the president has nominated able and capable nominees, and the court needs and deserves to not have to rely on senior status judges to meet its constitutional and statutory obligations. so with that, i will yield the floor, although i will not yield on the issue. thank you very much, mr. president. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from michigan. mr. peters: thank you mr. president. i rise to speak in support of the peters amendment number 2095. financial literacy has been defined as the ability to use knowledge and skills to manage financial resources effectively for a lifetime in financial well-being. unfortunately, too many

mr. president, you know, since our nation's founding, the idea of a strong public education for every child has been part of the fabric of america. in the late 1770's, thomas jefferson introduced a bill in virginia that outlined his plan for public schooling. and at the time he wrote by far the most important bill in our whole code is that for the diffusion of knowledge among the people. jefferson knew that educating children would strengthen our country, and that is still true today. today a good education can provide a ticket to the middle class. and when all students have the chance to learn we strengthen our future workforce and our economy. but, mr. president nearly everyone today agrees that the current education law the no child left behind, is badly broken. the bipartisan bill we're on the floor with today the every child achieves act, is a strong step in the right direction to finally fixing that law and will help continue our nation's tradition of making sure all students have access to a quality public education. but, mr. president, some of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle are interested in voucherizing the public school system. ins

mr. speaker. i'm glad we're taking up this two-year extension of the demonstration project which expired on may 1. i got interested in this because of a constituent, dr. thomas cornwell from wheaton illinois. he was a visionary. he was way ahead of his time on this effort to reach out to patients at home. he's the president of the american academy of home care physicians and chairman and chief medical officer of the home center care institute. and he's been really passionate about this idea of trying to reach people where they are. and since his founding of his home care practice in 1997 mr. speaker, he has personally, personally made over 30,000 house calls. so he knows intimately the difference that a home care option makes in the lives of individuals with multiple chronic conditions, and the savings that it can bring to the health care system to treat these people at home rather than at the hospital. so what he's been able to do is say look, this is better for the patient and it's better for the system, so let's pursue this and let's move it further along. and that's exactly what the independence at home demonstration brings to medicare. it focuses on red
