mr. williams: thank you, mr. chairman. i rise today in opposition of h.r. 3621, as a small business owner and lender, i know firsthand the value that complete and accurate credit reports have in making sound business decisions. for any business that relies on financing, risk-based pricing is essential in order to offer each customer the lowest rate possible. every time a deal is broken, the cost gets passed along to the next customer. your handshake is worth something. and when you are trying to get a loan, people need to know that your signature is worth something as well. in texas, a deal is a deal. and you must always live up to your end of the bargain. for those customers that have been financially responsible and always paid their debts on time, they are rewarded with lower rates. for those borrowers who have not paid their debts on time, financial institutions are forced to price in this inherent risk. whether a person is buying a car, a private jet or a cow, the lender needs to be paid back in order to continue offe

mr. bolton, he said after the president's july phone call with the president of ukraine he raised with attorney general william barr his concerns about mr. giuliani who is pursuing a shadow ukraine policy encouraged by the president and mr. bolton told mr. barr the president mentioned him on the call. mr. barr denied he learned the call from mr. bolton. the chessie pharma has said he learned about it only in mid august. the acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney was present for at least one phone call where the president and mr. giuliani discussed the ambassador, mr. bolton road. mr. holding has told associates he was always step with the president spoke with his lawyer to protect their attorney-client privilege. mr. mulvaney's attorney has put out a statement saying this. the latest story from the "new york times" called it with the book launch has more to do with publicity than the truth. john bolton never told mick mulvaney of any concerns around purported august conversation with the president nor did mr. mulvane ever have a conversation with the president or anyone else indicating ukrainian milit

william rufus king." james buchanan, our 15th president. what did you learn about him, and explain who mr. king was. dr. balcerski: "bossom friends" was a way to learn about how bachelors related. william rufus king was the vice president of the united states, like that the ticket with frank lynn pierce in 1852. but, because he was terminally ill with tuberculosis, he actually never served in office. he was inaugurated and famously the only vice president inaugurated outside of the united states, in cuba. but he return to the united states to die in april of 1853. buchanan, the 15th president, succeeded president pierce and will be in office from 1857 to 1862. he's often blame for allowing the civil war to happen. part of what my book tried to do is understand how these two men were so successful in politics and get at the political conditions of the period, the big question about what extent they were personally responsible for this massive tragedy that was the american civil war. i started with their early biographies, and started with them as young men. follow their college years, their entry into pol
