mrs. watson coleman: i rise in and i yield.r. 3584 myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for as much time as she may consume. mrs. watson coleman: i am pleased that h.r. 3584 includes language language by benny thompson to move away how it will identify low-risk passengers for expedited airport screening. in recent years, department of homeland security inspector general and the comptroller general have been critical about the security risks of the so-called managed inclusion process and in response, ranking member thompson introduced the ex pe dieded screening act which was included in this measure. we have an interest in t.s.a. effectively managing airport screening ensuring that a robust known traveler program for low-risk travelers are built into screening operations just makes sense. that is why i support the spans. pre-checked program under which x pe dieded -- expedited screening is provided. i'm pleased that h.r. 3584 includes provisions

mrs. watson coleman: mr. speaker, we thank you for this opportunity to raise what is a very important issue in 2016. women are being attacked on several fronts. whether it is on cases that are being brought before courts or whether it is in this house. we have got to recognize that this decision, the decision for a woman to make with regard to her reproductive rights, have already been established and we as congress and we as a society of lawmakers and policymakers need to do all that we can to facilitate those rights, to ensure that we do not .iscriminate against people and to discriminate against women in this regard is illegal and it is unacceptable and it is time for us to recognize our responsibility, to be stewards of the laws which have been put before us, and to uphold the constitution that we have pledged to support and to uphold, and to recognize that the abridgement of a woman's right is the abridgement of a civil right and that is unacceptable. thank you. with that i have no more speakers and i yi

mrs. watson coleman: i have a motion to commit at the desk. i'm opposed. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady qualifies. the clerk will report the motion. the clerk: the gentlelady from new jersey moves to recommit the bill -- the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will suspend. he house will be in order. he house will be in order. the clerk: ms. watson coleman of new jersey moves to recommit the bill with instructions to report the same back to the house forth with with the following amendments. page 5, line 2, strike the closed quotation marks and the period follows. insert the following, 5. this section shall not apply to a case which the plaintiff seeks relief with the sexual abuse and exploitation of a minor. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized for five minutes. mrs. watson coleman: this is the final amendment to the bill which will not kill the bill. if adopted the bill will proceed to final passage as amend dollars. >> the house is not in order. the speaker pro tempore: th

mr. watson. - i guess my daughter didn't tie it up tight. you know how girls are. - we sure do, mr. watson. - you watch the mail, little fellow. i'm gonna send you a nice little reward. - thank you, mr. watson. - ok. - that was a nice guy, wally. what do you think he'll send me? - well, i don't know. once when i found this lady's pocketbook, she kissed me. - boy, i'm sure glad mr. watson wasn't a lady! - come on, we'd better get going. boy, beaver, look at you. you're soaking wet! besides that, you smell. - i smell like what? - well... you smell kind of like my goldfish ball when i forget to change the water. - do you think mom and dad will be mad? - well, if they're alone, they'll get mad. if we've got company, they'll probably just make it a big joke out of it. - boy, i sure hope we have a lot of company. we dug them up in our backyard. - well, so what? - jee, they might ran into a lot of strange worms they don't even know. you think that's goofy, don't you? - no, i guess not. i guess when i was your age, i wanted worms to have a good time too. (comical music) - then this big canoe

mr. watson, i want to come see you thing. appointed as is it is not just winning in the court that makes l famous. the telephone giant made sure of his heroic status. a lot of his cultural prominence had a lot to do with the which wasbell system at one point the largest business organization in the world. of course the patent is kind of behind this. the lawyers were at the root of it all. in closing, let me offer a bit of water context. one thing that you might wonder is, is this a one-off? not really. it is certainly a great story but on a couple of points it is a window into something bigger. one thing is the close link between the idea of the great inventor and the patent law. this is a picture that hangs in the national portrait gallery in washington, d.c.. the old patent office building. you can find this fictional "men ofrtrait from 1862 progress." there are a lot of familiar names here, samuel morse, samuel colt, charles goodyear, elias howe. just out of curiosity i went through to see which of them had been involved i

mrs. watson coleman: i ask that members can include extraneous material. and before i start, let me extend my condolences who are formerg the death of our congressman. as i'm sure all of my colleagues are aware, we are now in primary election season. this year, the american people will elect a new president of the united states. unfortunately, there is a great possibility that hundreds of thousands of americans will be barred from casting their vote. in 2012, i watched horrified as voters were forced to stand in outrageous lines at their polling places. states across the country have set up new barriers, cutting back on hours and adding new difficult identification hurdles that limit people of color. and we call ourselves the model of democracy for the whole world to follow. instead of embracing every opportunity to improve and facilitate one of the corn stones of our democracy, we are allowing it to crumble. there is quite a lot to fix but this congress isn't doing anything about it. our states have widely voting systems. some allow same-day registration

mr. watson, come here, i want to see you. it is one of those moments people learn about in grade school or something that is popular in the history of technology. he did not even growth in the united states. if years ago, bell was voted one of the greatest americans for his invention and also voted one of the 10 greatest britains and canadians. whys worth thinking about this question, who invented the telephone is such a well-known question and with a well-known answer. , mostf the 20th century households would have a telephone. even today, pretty much everyone has a small computer masquerading as a telephone. not every ubiquitous technology has a famous story. you probably have a refrigerator , but there is not a household name in venture associated with the refrigerator. the internet even, there is no one person that anyone would name straight away. -- whozle here is why invented the telephone is a question of such popular currency 130 years later. aboutis another puzzle what it means to ask and answer that question. if you

mr. watson, come here. i want to see you. it started with a single connection. and the network was born. then, we connected more and more people until it became clear that the network was not a fad or a luxury but a basic human necessity. and so, at&t built a network just for you. one that connects your family and friends... your businesses, devices... mobile entertainment, connected cars, and connected homes. it grows as you grow. extending love. because you are still evolving and so are we. with a network that is invented and reinvented everyday to work for you how and where you need it. this is your network. the network of at&t. discover card. i missed a payment. aw, shoot. shoot! this is bad. no! we're good! this is your first time missing a payment. and you've got the discover it card, so we won't hike up your apr for paying late. that' (both simultaneously) thank you. at discover, we treat you like you'd treat you. get the it card with late payment forgiveness. (music) woman: i' ll never remember all the projects, presentations, or meetings i gave up my ni

i'm pleased to yield 1 1/2 minutes to mrs. watson coleman a terrific member of the special committee a member from the state of new jersey. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized. mrs. watson coleman: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i had no idea that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle were such great fans of "ground hogg day" the movie. if i had more time i'd give the exact same speech i gave a month ago because nothing has change thsmed efacts remain that planned parenthood is a health organization, serving three million americans each year. that one in five americans will receive planned parent -- receive care from planned parenthood. despite arguments to the contrary, there are not enough health centers to fill that gap. that defunding planned parenthood snatches care away from millions of families and that today's bill says to women, once again that huh and when they get health care is not their choice. like then, this has no chance of becoming law, and like then, i urge my colleagues to abandon the

mr. watson, come here, i want to see you" thing. it's not just winning in the courts that makes them famous. the telephone giant made sure of his heroic status, and a lot of bell's cultural prominence in the middle of the 20th century, his fame had a lot to do with the eponymous bell system, which was at one point the largest business organization in the world. course, the patent is behind this and all sorts of ways. the dollar the position of the bell company begins with, is contributed to by the patent monopoly filte built from bell's patent, the lawyers at the root of it all. closing, let me offer up a little bit of broader context. one thing you might wonder after hearing this story is, is this a one off? is a telephone patent case unique? not really. it's certainly a great story, but on a couple of points, it's a window into something bigger. is that the close link between the idea of the great inventor and the patent law. ins is a picture that hangs the national portrait gallery in washington, d.c., the old patent office build

mr. watson. >>reporter: can calculus be intuitive? >> absolutely. one of my t-shirir says calculus teachers know their limits. >>reporter: this something that angeles knows well. he was one of 12 students at the perfect score on a calculus exam. >> there is always an answer, but there is not always an answer and upper-level math. sometimes there are unsolved problems. see, i know that makes me want to solve it. >>reporter: sedric's record with the rubik's cube is 15 seconds and he has an obsession with avoiding careless errors in math. >> i don't like any mistakes. >>reporter: sedric's mother is a nurse who was born in the philippines and his father is a maintenance worker from el salvador. >>i am emotional because this country offers a lot of good things. i am thankful. >>we are glad for the opportunity. whatever he wants. >>reporter: aside from a perfect score. that's another thing that sedric and landon have in common, parents should encourage their children to do their best. >> landon keeps getting better. it's hard to know when he has done his

and some of my teachers still alive today, by the way, when i go back to reunions i see mrs. watson, i see miss jordan -- miss irving, some of the other teachers who worked with me, who taught me. and they sometimes are surprised at how appreciative i am. but i said, you have to remember that if you had not intervened, where would i be today? i think the answer to your question is, yes. i was in their classrooms every day. they had a chance to get to know me, they had a chance to get to see what i could do, they knew what kind of person i was. the administrators saw me periodically. and they maybe knew me because i was a cheerleader, because i was in student council. they didn't know mary. we had one counselor for the whole school. counselor saw me maybe my junior year, when i moved from eighth grade to saw me, maybe again in my junior year. i didn't go to the counselor. i didn't have a lot of problems or anything like that. i just sort of counseled myself in whatever i had to take, i did it. the teachers were the ones who worked with me and who knew me. some of them were in my chur

mrs. watson coleman: this year's team includes eric, angela and tanish and they were coached by miss sharm. in a few weeks they'll head to washington, d.c. to compete in the department of energy's national science bowl and i am proud to know that the -- that new jersey's 12th district will be represent. i wish the coach and team the best of luck in the national competition and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields. for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> madam speaker, i rise today in recognition and in celebration of black history month. this month is a reminder of both the incredible sacrifices and the remarkable contributions that african-americans have made during our nation's history. 153 years ago, illinois' own abraham lincoln issued the eman

mr. donovan. ms. watson-coleman from new jersey for five minutes >> thank you very much. i have a number of questions prompted from just listening in and out. we talked about detention. we talked about elimination. we talked about vaccines. i want to go before that. are there standards that people who grow crops have to follow, people who grow livestock have to follow? is there standards to ensure these products are being grown and these livestock are being bred and surviving under certain standards? and if so, who is responsible for policing that or monitoring that? what is the process for that? >> i would say first and foremost the marketplace sets those standards. if you're a producer of pork, beef producer, dairyman producing milk every day, you want to meet those market standards to be assured that your product can go to market. >> are there standards you can only grow in this soil, this. if they're livestock, they can only be bred under certain circumstances. the way to prevent diseases and things of that nature as opposed to waiting until something happens. >> in t

mr. chairman. >> we'll now recognize the gentle woman from new jersey ms. watson-coleman for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i've listened to this entire panel discussion, and i have to tell you, my questions are going to be directed first to mr. creagh and then i have a question for mr. beauvais. it is clear to me the responsibility doesn't lie with the local officials because the local officials were as much victims as the unelected local residents. but you, mr. mccreagh, as the director of the department of environmental quality, whatever it's called in michigan, you at that level, you are primarily responsible. you and the governor of the state of new jersey -- of the state of michigan, i've got that problem in new jersey, just to be clear. but the governor placing those individuals in that responsibility over the city of flint, michigan, and then taking all authority away from the elected officials in the city of michigan, you have primary responsibility here. and your apology after the fact rings hollow. so, i have a couple of questions. mr. creagh

watson-ecole man. >> thank you very much. i want to follow up on mr. carter's line of questioning.i don't understand now. before you acquired the drug, was there a problem with access to it? >> yes, there was. >> so your desire to acquire the plug and there was a problem with access, does it mean people suffering from infections associated with hiv/aids didn't have access to it the way it needed it? >> if june, three months before we acquired the asset the previous manufacturer went to a special ti distribution model and closed distribution. that was three months before we purchased it. after -- >> what was going on before those three months. was it the closed distribution? >> no. it was broader. >> was that as a result of it shall in an 'tis tags of your company buying this drug? >> absolutely not. there is proof that the arrangement originated not with the previous manufacturer but the manufacturer before that. >> yet walgreens which is the closed distribution, right? >> yes. >> walgreens informed you all they were concerned about access to patients, other pharmacies, et cetera.
