mr. mcdermott: ok. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington. mr. mcdermott: madam speaker, i will close on our side. i don't think we have any more speakers here. i've been an ex pat -- expat. i was in the state department can. state department sent me overseas, i lived over there, i came home one month a year, i would leave, the rest of the time he was an expat. my daughter teaches at the king can's academy in amman, jordan, she's an expat. she lives over there. she comes home in the summer time for a month or so. she's an expat. everybody understands that. what this bill says is that if you live in seattle and you make 15 trips a year out of the expat , then you're an or you can claim -- you can be considered an expat. now, that's not exactly what we thought -- what i think most people think of when they think of as an expat. or somebody who works as a contractor, suppose you work for the federal government for three months overseas. are you an expat? according to this you are. you are not -- you can easily be put in that category and not offered

mr. garamendi: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from washington, mr. kilmer. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington is recognized. mr. kilmer: thank you, mr. speaker. i'd like to engage in a colloquy with the gentleman from california, mr. hunter. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. kilmer: thank you, mr. chairman. it contains a provision that would survey water from the puget sound to the gig harbor sand spit area. that property was leased by the city by the coast guard in 1988 to construct a small replica light house and that the city and other local parties have inanced, operated the sand pit area. it las used the area for recreation @purposes. i yield to the chairman. mr. hunter: it is my understanding as well. mr. kilmer: it authorized the disposal of the property. in addition, the city has been in discussions with the coast guard since 2011 regarding transferring the property. i yield to the chairman. mr. hunter: also my understanding. mr. kilmer: the legislation provides a survey of the area. am i correct that when t

of making it appear quote unquote appear that mr washington advocated violence against russia you don't have to edit or manipulate anything when the person actually says that. you have used if you choose to free you and you have to be movie. you have to most of the group at the very senior fellow said there's a vision of a pool in the case of five billion dollars invested in ukraine mr stengel my. it sound as if our teeth pulled out a mound out of thin air here's the assistant secretary of state for european and your asian affairs big tour in a one page invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic train and the assertion that our two refers to any ukrainian opposed to russia's actions as a terrorist this is simply not true here is just one example of the choice of words that our reporters make on the ground when covering the events there let me. take you straight to the street. in ukraine. it seems as if the scene is being seen as a confrontation. and that confrontation came when they met about two

mr. washington, obama is frighteningly weak. last week i asked a member of the senate if he knows of anyone who really knows obama, he said he does not. president, of course, bristled at the idea if he just had better personal relationships with members of congress, a tougher negotiator, a better back slapper or earthier politician, in other words, more like lyndon johnson, that somehow the legislative standstill of the past two years would grind into gear. in fact, in an interview with the "new yorker's" david remnick a few months ago, president obama argued when he lost that historic majority and the glow of that landslide 1964 victory faded johnson had the same problems with congress most presidents at one point or another have. i say that not to suggest i'm a master wheeler-dealer but rather to suggest they are structural institutional realities to our political system that don't have much to do with schmoozing. meanwhile, johnson acolytes are annoyed, president johnson, they believe are a product of what lbj fought so hard

mr. grijalva: at this point, let me yield to the gentleman from washington, mr.larsen, for as much time as he may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. larson: thank you, mr. chairman. i want -- mr. larsen: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to thank the chairman of the full committee, the ranking member of the full committee, the ranking member of the subcommittee for helping to bring s. 404 to the floor, the grune moan -- the green mountain lookout heritage protection act. the lookout symbolizes a unique and vanishing part of the heritage and this bill symbolizes congress' solidarity with the hard-hit part of our state. green mountain lookout is one of the few survivoring -- surviving fire lookouts in the west. it's one of only six such lookouts within a wilderness area. it was an early warning station in world war ii to alert citizens to possible aerial invasion. and the communities in nearby darington are recovering from last month's tragic landslide that has take the lives of dozens of people -- taken the lives of dozens of people a

justice and a local knowledge that is very important to serving eastern washington and all of washington. mr. bastian also served as a judicial pro tempore in the municipal courts and recently he had the opportunity to lead the washington state bar association. as the president of that organization, mr. bastian focused on ethics, professionalism and civility in the legal profession. he has a long and wide-ranging background in the law and community, so that's exactly why we should put him on the federal bench. his legal career exemplifies public service, a commitment to justice and a stellar legal intellect. i am confident that he will serve the eastern district well, so i hope that, madam president, we will move forward on these nominees this afternoon and confirm mr. bastian. i thank the chair. madam president, i yield the floor, and i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. reid: i ask unanimous consent the call of the quorum be terminated. the presiding officer: without objection. m

mr. speaker, and i want to thank the gentleman from washington for his leadership. i yield back the balance of my ime. mr. heck: when someone in america builds a better mousetrap or improves upon the design of an existing product, the world takes notice. companies and governments and industries and countries from south africa to turkey and in between are potential customers for well-crafted american-made products. but in the modern day globalized economy, credit is necessary for complex transactions. buyers and sellers need assurance that the deals are legitimate. and without that they are forced to imitate products, violate intellectual property rights and standards and american companies lose out on market share. for 0 years our economy -- 80 years our economy has expanded and you grown beyond our borders and into the developed and developing world in part because of the export-import bank of the united states. and today, with u.s. trade deficits growing as exports fall, we need now more than ever to be able to support increases in exports. exports accelerate our e

mr. smith's from washington, and i think maybe now is the time for us to address this frontly. if only as a going-away present. because this is the last time mr. moran is going to be able to offer this since he's decided to leave us for greener pastures someplace else. i think it would be fitting for us to address this directly. i have great respect for my dear friend from the state of texas who talks about what the people he represents feel about this issue. and i, with all due respect, wonder if the conversation with his constituents in texas were like the conversations i have with my constituents in oregon, if people knew that we are spending eight times as much to incarcerate these people as if they were in other federal facilities. the gentleman from virginia talks about the space that is available now in terms of federal facilities. if they -- do people know that we have convicted hundreds of people suspected of terrorist acts and under the provisions none. military, what do our constituents really ant if they knew that fact? the sad truth is that americans are at greater

really cheap and counting every penny and staying true to our analogy that is exactly how mr richie washington is acting right now because he's actually fighting two men in california over one penny petty back in the early seventy's the u.s. mint toyed with the idea of making pennies from aluminum instead of copper to save money and they gave away a handful of these aluminum pennies to lawmakers joe biden was a senator at the time and he got what they were trying to persuade the lawmakers to make the change to aluminum but it didn't work so some of the pennies they gave out were returned but some of them weren't and one of them ended up in the hands of brenda lawrence whose dad worked in the denver men in one thousand nine hundred seventy three randall didn't realize just how are. here the penny was so he sold it to michael mcconnell who owns a coin shop he realized how rare the penny was so he had to plan to sell the coin along with randy at an auction and current as de mint placed that he at worth two hundred and fifty thousand dollars randall and michael were very excited but then i got a l

mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent the quorum call be lifted. the presiding officer: the senate is not in a quorum call. the senator is recognized. mrs. murray: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, there's a number of women who are going to be joining me here today. they are leaders in this capitol who are working each and every day, both here and back in their home states, to give more and more of their constituents a chance to succeed. so today we are here to talk about one small idea that stands to make a huge difference in the lives of our constituents and for women, in particular, and that is the idea that if you are putting in 40 or 50 or 60 hours of work per week, you should be able to put food on your table and pay your bills and you won't be stuck below the poverty line. mr. president, this idea could change the lives of millions of americans if congress simply acted and raised the minimum wage. we need to act now because right now one in four women -- one in four women -

the presiding officer: the senator from washington. mrs. murray: thank you, madam president. i want to start my bye expressing my thanks and appreciation to senator mikulski for her once again tremendous leadership in the fight for equal pay and foe bringing the paycheck fairness act to the forefront of the debate this session. the role of women in families and in our economy has really shifted dramatically over the last few decades. today, 60% of families rely on earnings from both parents. that's up from 37% in 1975. 60%. women today make up nearly half the work force. and more than ever women are likely to be the prime mayor -- primary breadwinner in their families. women are making a difference in our economy, in lecture halls and small businesses. but despite the important progress we have made, since the equal pay act passed now 50 years ago including passing the lily ledbetter act thanks again to senator mikulski in 2009 to give more women tools to fight pay discrimination, women's wages not have caught up with the times. across the country today, women still earn 77 c

the road ahead obviously, as we discussed at length both here and washington, mr. prime minister, is difficult. and you should know, as i told you at the outset, you will not walk this road alone. we will walk it with you. >> bring in gloria borger, our chief political analyst. you cover the vice president for a long time, pretty strong words for him. >> the message was clear. he also said, this struck me, he said no country should be allowed to behave like an armed bandit, which is essentially what he's calling russia. i think the question we all have here is whether the united states at sam poiome point is go compa come out and say russia has crossed some sort of a red line, to use that phrase we've heard in other foreign policy situations. >> syria specifically. >> syria. after all, a deal was signed in geneva that was supposed to defuse the situation. you talk to american foreign policy folks, they have absolutely no confidence that the russians are doing anything but escalating the situation. so while the vice president right now is calling for restraint, he s
