mr. westmoreland. the chair: the gentleman from georgia, mr. westmoreland, and a member opposed each will control control five minutes. mr. westmoreland: i want to clarify a few things. my amendment is not a poison pill. my friend from oklahoma said that he wanted to play by the rules. that's what i want to do. i've got an amendment i never had an opportunity to submit. you know why? because of the discharge petition. the authors of the discharge petition chose to have it brought up under a closed rule. so i never got a chance. my 700,000 people never had a chance. now, i don't know how many people in frog jump, tennessee, buy wide body planes. i'm sure there's probably one or two that buy them. but i've got 6,000 delta employees, both current and retired, that live in my district. and what this amendment does, it allows a fair playing field to where you can go to the board of directors at ex-im and give your analysis, not to the ex-im, that's almost like giving your complaint to the opposition's attorney. we want to go to the board. because it'

mr. westmoreland: ron white has a saying and it says, you can't fix stupid. and so i guess that's the reason we can't fix the q. m. rule that has come from the cfpb because it's stupid. why would we not want to give a bank or a credit union the ability to loan somebody money when they're taking 100% of the responsibility for the person to pay back that loan? that's exactly what h.r. 1210 does. it says that a small bank or community bank or credit union -- i don't care who it is, willing to put up their own money to somebody they may know in their community that might have e the ability to credit otherwise to buy a that house. i had that personal experience. the only thing i had was a home. i went and paid about 13% interest and probably paid a number of points in closing to be able to open up my building business. and in doing that, i was able to do that. and i was able to pay back that loan. but had these rules been into effect, that would have been impossible to do. there are other americans and other people out there waiting to get their foothold in societ

mr. westmoreland. >> tomorrow. thank you for being here.that some of the things that we are for his trying to help our constituents solve problems. i have one that i would very much like you address on his behalf. do you know what a naked option stress analysis there is? hon. white: i do now. your staff indicated you had this issue. i knew before, but i know now more. >> you and i both know more than what we used to. my consistory just -- constituent is very aware of it. he has been very successful in his career. product of an algorithm to mitigate risk. when it is triggered the account holder must post a margin to .over potential losses my constituent has contacted me, and we have had over and over with the sec and merrill lynch, , trying to figure out what triggered this call. he has been unable to get this resolved. they said that this is a resource that they have trademarked . you think it is necessary, and you think it is ok that a lynch could merrill patent something to use on their investors and not be able to tell them what that is?

mr. westmoreland. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, chair white, for being here.hair, you realize that some of the things that we're responsible for is trying to help our constituents solve problems, and i've got one that i would very much like for you to address on his behalf. do you know what a naked option stress analysis is or an nosa? >> i do now, i believe. [laughter] i think your staff indicated you had this issue with a constituent. >> yes. >> i knew before, but i know now. >> you and i both know more about it than what we used to. and my constituent is very, very aware of it, and he has been quite successful in his career. and it's, the nosa is a propitch waral gore rum to mitigate risks from negative options trading. and when it's triggered, the account holder must post an nosa margin to cover potential losses. and my constituent has contacted me, and we have been over and over and over with the sec and merrill lynch and others trying to find out what triggered this call. and he has been unable to get that resolved. and even though he has asked merrill l

plausible, if he was at a meeting and a ban qwest with general westmoreland, the leading general and people from west point, do they tell you, mr. carson, you are a grade a student, very smart, you are the type of person we want in -- to go to west point and we'll get you in there. i've seen that happen. happens all the time. that's very, very applause -- plausible. did he in fact have a meeting? now, if you go back, there are records of where westmore lean was during the dates that ben carson says he was meeting with him. that's no the detroit. that's a huge problem. maybe he conflated that with an earlier time. rush limbaugh was saying that westmoreland was in detroit a month or two earlier and maybe that's where he met with him. if the meetings didn't take place -- and they'll find out -- if they didn't take place, it gets to his credibility. do you want a president that makes stuff up? we have a guy in there right now that makes up a lot of stuff. we know the guy in there right now exaggerated some stuff in his biography, and this early years. we know that -- >> but on this issue, on their issue -- >> don't want that. >> ge

mr. bennett's comments in the article. >> so the bottom line is that either someone in the rotc program or general westmoreland or someone the dinner honoring warriors if you will when he was only 17 years old said that maybe you should go to west point and he thought about it, and flattered and honored, but decided to be a doctor, physician and not a military officer and as result never applied and never sought admission to west point. is that right? >> that is absolutely correct. >> well, let's talk a little bit, armstrong on the cnn story. one of the interesting thins following alisyn camerota's interview this morning, michael smerconish one of the contributors suggested that maybe some of the individuals on background without releasing their identity, and without make it known if they want the privacy known or honor the privacy, maybe they should speak to privately some of the reporters to confirm the stories that dr. carson told in the autobiography, and what do you make of that idea? >> well, i think that dr. carson addressed it with alisyn clear on the air this morning with cnn that my of the people, he protected

mr. carson basically said in his book gifted hands when he was introduced to general william westmorelandorces in vietnam, that the two dined together and that meeting, according to ben carson, was followed by, quote, a full scholarship to the military academy. so west point has no record of ben carson applyinto it, much less being extended admission to it. according to the academy, there's a quote from the spokeswoman for west point that they too would have received the acceptance letters but have no records indicating that carson began the application. this is a bombshell. >> it is, and for many of the carson supporters heart breaking, but in is why we have the primary process. it is good this kind of information comes out now as opposed to the summer of next year. this is why questions are important. finding out the truth about candidates. it does not help us to look away or not find these things out. so this is important. it's part of the vetting that we have in this process, and it's unfortunate to say the least. charles: definitely unfortunate, one of the main things that dr. carson
