mr. ellington, theo, when you become the subject of one of walter's songs you graduate into a different strata here in city hall and i look forward to working with you as well. i am more than happy to put forward a motion to move all these commissioners. >> we have a motion to move items 2 and 6 to the full board. and we have a second. supervisor weiner. >> thank you, madam chair, i'm not on the committee but i thought this was important enough i wanted to be here for the item. i just wanted to associate myself with supervisor farrell's remarks, these are all exceptional candidates, clearly the mayor did a terrific job in vetting and coming up with a good slate for this commission so i'm very supportive. >> thank you, supervisor weiner, thank you for being here. >> thank you, chair kim, i actually had the opportunity to meet with all the candidates, each and every one of them over the past few days, mostly last week. i appreciate their reaching out to me. i was not able to meet with miss mondajar, she was able to talk to one of my staff members. i will be supporting all the candidates. i do ap

mrs. obama sat down with barbara walters. in this moment from their wide-ranging conversation, the first couple is revealing intimate moments from the campaign trail. >> mr. president, mrs. obama, there's a photograph of that you went viral. became the most-shared photograph in the history of twitter. here it is. when you look at this picture, what do you think? at what point was that? >> i think we were campaigning in iowa. >> why were you hugging her so hard in iowa? >> because i love my wife. >> also, i hadn't seen him in a while. when you're campaigning, we're two ships passing in the night. and the first time i saw him was when i walked onstage to greet him. and that's my honey giving me a hug. >> i like giving you hugs. >> how do you keep the fire going? >> that's a good question. >> you know, we've been married now 20 years. >> uh-huh. >> and like every marriage, i think you have your ups and you have your downs. but if you work through the tough times, the respect and love that you feel deepest. -- deepens. >> and ther

walters. barbara? >> terry, in what has become one of my favorite holiday traditions for the fourth year, i had the privilege of interviewing the president and mrs. obama at the white house. this interview was taped days before the tragic shooting in connecticut and was postponed until now. it was the first time the couple sat down together since winning re-election. mrs. obama also took me on a personal tour of what is called the people's house. and it's never more true than during the christmas season. after thanksgiving, more than 80 volunteers from nearly 40 states descend on the white house, trimming 54 trees, plus every nook and cranny. first dog bo is the star of the show. there he is inspecting the decorations, including this larger than life model of himself, made of 20,000 pompoms. my friend. >> yes, bo. he's really big in relation to this house. >> this 300-pound ginger bread white house was the first stop on my exclusive behind-the-scenes tour with first lady michelle obama. these are various rooms in the actual white house. >> absolutely. and the details in these rooms are just beyond this year. >> why peer into these windows when i

mr. james, i already called your name. >> hello rules committee. i just have something small to say. my name is walter jameses and i'm from the central city sro collaborative. to me it's important because i guess the disclosure and treatment reporting, i think the main thing, i guess, what this would do is push forward more the research effect. so for me to point out to the people that don't have bed bugs, i have been living at the mission hotel for eight years. i want to point out to you, when i first lived i remember getting bed bugs and after being there for eight years, had sores and i would say how did that happen? they are so small, they are so small that they go in one sore and come back on the same sore, but you don't notice it. now i have been there eight years, it's on my legs and you can see gaping holes from them checking in and checking out. you don't know it until it's too late. you might think someone with sores is just a nasty transient, but, in fact it could be bud begin festation. so this legislation will push research -- i think it's going to a higher level where it's going to come

and of course now, secretary of state, recently turned 65 years old and our own barbara walters sat down with mrsost people are asking now about you is, will you consider running for president in 2016? would you just like to make your declaration now and we can conclude this interview. >> that would be fascinating to me, as well as everyone else. i've said i really don't believe that that's something i will do again. i am so grateful i had the experience of doing it before. but i think there are lots of ways to serve. so i will continue to serve. >> what would it take to convince you to run in 2016? >> that's all hypothetical, because right now i have no intention of running. >> we also wondered after four years at her post as secretary of state, what keeps her up at night? what worries you the most? >> iran. iran worries me the most. because it's not only the terrible prospect that they might have a nuclear weapon, they're already engaging in terrorism all over the world, directly through their own agents, using others like hezbollah. >> what about here? could they attack us here? >> well, remem

mrs. obama sat down with barbara walters.e's what he described as the toughest part of his job on "nightline." >> the thorn is always knowing that as commander in chief i've put, you know, men and women of our armed services in harm's way, and some of them get killed and some of them get injured. and that always weighs on me. that is as raw and as fresh now as it was the first month i took office. >> this was billed as their first sitdown interview since winning re-election. it was taped days before the newtown massacre. >>> newly real estate leased fbi documents showing the bureau considered the occupy wall street movement a potential threat and had counterterrorism agents across the country keeping watch. agents were in touch with police, businesses and universities nationwide even before demonstrators set up in new york's zucohti park last year. >>> what a wounded firefighter said to a paramedic as this terror unfolded. >>> and travelers stuck on a plane for five hours that never even left the gate. passengers fuming. why

mr. leonard, i'm sit agent the table with walter, he would like you to know that he sat through the big bouncenyoud it. me may have been in a marijuana tent. i'm not sure. if i you haven't read elmore leonard ten tips for writing. do it now during dinner. number 10 is my favorite from elmore. ten tips for writing. try to leave out the part that the readers tend to skip. that's why he walked off the stage with a medal. it is time to enjoy the dinner. while you're doing it i want you to consider this. i'm not sure if you know how the process works in which they get chosen. what happens, this is true, is that the four groups of judges met for lunch today at different restaurants in manhattan. i think it was pa panera they choose the winner in the categories among themselves. this is just hours ago. and so i kind of think they had to speak in a secret language. you never know if the server is a blogger from gawker in disguise. i'm thinking they use a code to say to their colleagues, you know, whom they were voting for. it was like, excuse me, do you know what the soup of of the diaz. if you're ser

mr. speaker, i have been to walter reed and bethesda now so many times to see the broken bodies, to see the faces of the moms and dads with pain in their face, to see the young man's face, or young woman's face that know that they will never be physically able to do what they have done before going to afghanistan. with that, mr. speaker, i make one last reference. i would hope that the colleagues of mine in both parties would read this book, funding the enemy, how the u.s. taxpayers back roll the taliban. this is a sin and it must stop. mr. speaker, i ask god to please bless our men and women in uniform, please bless the families of our men and women in uniform, to bless the families who have given a child dying for freedom in afghanistan and iraq. i ask god to help this congress come together with the senate and come forward with a plan that we, the american people, can be proud of. i ask three times, god please, god please, god please continue to bless america. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson le

mr. speaker, i'd like to ask unanimous consent to insert into the record an article that appeared in today's "washington post" by walter pinkett entitled "military funds to spare" in which he quotes secretary defense panetta in a speech who said that the committees here in the congress had diverted about $74 billion of what we asked for in savings in our proposed budget to the congress and they diverted them to other areas that frankly we do not need, end quote. that is from the secretary of defense. i'd also like to ask unanimous consent to insert into the record a letter to the president that was sent to members of congress as well urging that he veto the national defense authorization act because it extends restrictions on transferring detainees from the guantanamo prison. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. mcgovern: let me conclude by opening here to say i want a defense second to none. i believe we need to do whatever we need to do to protect the citizens of this country. but just throwing more money at the pentagon doesn't mean that you're getting a stronger defense. you know, expanding t

mr. obama is now demanding less new revenue from tax hikes but continues to insist on higher taxes for the wealthy. he talked about it in an exclusive interview with our barbara walterst thing we can do is make sure middle class 1st, and i'm confident that republicans would not hold middle class taxes hostage to try to protect tax cuts for high income individuals. >> for his part, speaker boehner's new counteroffer seeks $800 billion in tax revenues. none of it, though, from higher tax rates. >>> one more political note. a possible battle royale next year in new jersey. newark mayor cory booker says he's going to decide whether to challenge republican governor chris christie, who is enjoying some sky high approval ratings. booker calls chris christie vulnerable on women's issues and the environment. chris christie is riding a wave of popularity because of how he responded to hurricane sandy. but according to a poll, in a matchup with booker, chris christie prevailed 53% to 35%. >> he's eyeing a more probable run for the u.s. senate in 2014. so clearly, we'll see how it plays out. mayor booker is just coming off of his food stamp challenge where he lived off of $31 a
