mr. wilson was a democrat. >> i don't think so.eard angry reaction to what the gop autopsy report might mean for the 2016 republican primary including fewer debates an earlier convention and voting via primaries, not caucuses. a rand paul adviser told "politico," "elimination of caucus would mean nuclear war with the grassroots, social conservatives and the ron paul movement." brabenber said "i am troubled by the possibility of a condensed presidential primary process which undoubtedly gives an advantage to the establishment backed candidates and the wealthiest candidates." we have in the meet ya love the primaries. we in the media love them. those debates are wild. the craziest people out there. herman cain and his 9/9/9. you had bachmann. we want the full show. you elite party people want to hide the crazies. you want to hide the crazies. >> no, chris, i was the one who opened up the process. absolutely, i agree with both of those gentlemen in their campaigns. absolutely. this process should be opened. it should allow for the bas

mr. wilson of south carolina, mr. bernstein of oklahoma and mr. johnson of georgia, mr.carson and indiana and i look forward to working with all of you. the subcommittee has a responsibility for many big critical and important issues and we are going to get into them right now. at this point, the facts have not been well established, and many say the intrusion was completely unacceptable. corrective actions were taken by the nsa and doe. it is focused on the broader implications of the incident including organizational leadership that enabled it to occur i am deeply concerned that we have been identifying the same problems for more than a decade. the advisory board said it has a security at its worst. highlighting a string of recurring security problems in 1990, it was described as a diff dysfunctional bureaucracy that is incapable of reforming itself. a few years after congress created this, in an effort to address these concerns, another study by the commission on science and security from the same problem. an independent study of security conducted by the admiral made

mr. wilson last summer talking with climate change and we're on the brink of extinction, and he said there is still hope. but we need to learn co-op -- live cooperative liang collaboratively and we have to change the way the world works altogether. some of us will survive. it is a dark picture but so many people around the world who live this way and have for a long time and there are people in this country, some sitting in this room who live this way. so we have people who can help to remind us how to behave. >> you have any images or footage from your trip? >> yes. i have stills but i would show them but they're not that distinctive but nothing the you could not see online but yes, i took pictures with my phone like everybody else. but we had a photographer but she would not take pictures and tell i was there with her. she is terribly afraid of ghosts. she had problems with dose while we were there, it's a long story but it was very interesting. i a traveled with indigenous arctic people for 20 years on and off and for the first 10 years i never even took a camera. one never blend since

mr. wilson summed it up best when he said his behavior was inappropriate. so now he condemned young outright but it was just inappropriate when a man sat in the congress, you were there that night, while the president is making a state of the union address and said to the president of the united states, you lie. so do you understand why some of us are saying, wait a minute, is the condemnation today of young more about trying to appeal to a certain segment and gratuitous? because clearly you've had reason to really condemn things that you never condemned. >> condemnation of young today was purely political. it was purely for political reasons and obviously so. but the republican party generally has not accepted the legitimacy of president obama as president. whether that's racist or partially racist is anybody's conjecture. that's what it was about and that's why they have tolerance of somebody who yells out "you lie" to the president of the united states. they would never tolerate that kind of behavior if if the president were ronald reagan or george bush.

mrs. wilson. she could be anyone's wife, mother, co-worker, employer or fellow church member. she was extraordinary because she excelled in each of these roles. she was a woman for all seasons. ann wilson was born in 1965 in the bronx of irish stock. the daughter of thomas and frances gilcorse. she graduated from st. john the baptist high school and earned a degree in political science. she worked in new york city before moving to johnstown, the hometown of her husband bill. in the mountains of western pennsylvania, this daughter of the bronx became an adopted daughter of johnstown and she thrived there. she brought in the world three beautiful children, katie, billy and clara, whom she and bill loved dearly. and while she was raising her family, ann pursued her professional calling with excellence and determination as the marketing director of the gleason agency. her energy was incomparable. the energy of her professional work could also be seen in her commitment to public service. in 2005, ann

mr. wilson, i made, in my opening statement, a comment that we have not seen a report on fisma, or whatever you want to call it. you all found that only eight of 22 agencies are in compliance with that. that is a decline from 13 agencies in 2010. what is the problem? >> we are also looking forward to receiving omb's fisma report. it usually provides a lot of information, especially where the ig's conduct overviews. that is one of the issues where, we have found, over the years -- and why we have been designating federal information security as a high risk area since 1997, because of agencies' -- i won't say inability, but lack of success in meeting the requirements for securing their systems. >> let me explain what that means, so everybody understands. only eight federal agents, at this time, out of 22, meet the guidelines for securing their network. >> one of the statistics for assessing the risk, which kind of gets to mr. kepler's point. agencies -- that is one of the challenge areas. it is not an easy job, in terms of implementing security over time. the environment is constantly changin

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. wilson: mr. speaker, last friday our national security was placed at risk when the president's sequester began implementation. sadly, this nearly $600 billion budget cut was the third attack on our nation's military. in 2010, the defense department experienced a $100 billion budget cut and again in 2012, in january, president obama removed $487 billion from our military in annual budget. maintaining a strong national defense is the primary function of the federal government. removing these resources so drastically places american families and our allies, such as israel, at risk of future attacks. in fact, nearly half of all of the reductions in spending are on the defense budget which was only 18% of the entire federal budget. as a member of the house armed services committee, i appreciate chairman buck mckeeon's efforts

mr. wilson: house republicans will pass a balanced, responsible budget. our proposal achieves balance over the next 10 years, and will help small businesses create jobs. unfortunately the concept of balanced budget is not appreciated by the president and senate leadership. the president has called for reducing our nearly $17 trillion negligent -- national debt but actually it has increased taxes now with unlikely budget reductions in the future. likewise the senate budget proposal does not achieve balance but instead increases taxes to accelerate more government borrowing. house republicans understand the need for a balanced budget. by balancing our budget, america's small businesses will receive the economic certainty they need to create jobs. it is my hope that senate leadership and president begin to focus on balancing our budget rather than continue to spend beyond our means in placing an undue burden on the backs of children and grandchildren. in conclusion, god bless our troops and we will never forget september 11 and the global war n terrorism? th

mr. wilson's. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i share this with the former and current chairman. it seems to me that with the breaches that occurred, there should have been termination shifting persons around. it really doesn't achieve the level of accountability for something that is important. i have the perception of having actually worked here and by working here i actually had a good feeling about the permit manner of security, the persons who are monitoring and indeed, those acting, and i felt secure and i know that the people who work there, lived there, raised their families there, they fill secure. but i am concerned about studies that there is a culture that has not stressed security. so how can we reassure people who live in these communities that do realize that they are a culture and have a lack of security and it needs to be addressed. >> that is a great question, congressman. you can reassure them by saying that the top three security officials at the headquarters were removed from their positions and the two top officials were removed and the contractor that actua

mrs. wilson: mr. speaker, mr. ryan's budget would cost millions of people to lose access to health care and tens of millions more to lose their jobs. my question is simple, why? i have been here 802 days and we have not considered a serious jobs bill yet. there are approximately 12 million people unemployed. it's unemployment not debt that's at emergency levels when people lose their jobs they lose their dignity, they lose their health care, and eventually lose their home. shame, shame, shame. there is only one responsible way to reduce the deficit, get everyone trained, get everyone working, and get everyone contributing to the tax base. people are hurting. people are suffering. they want an opportunity. mr. speaker, our mantra should be jobs, jobs, jobs. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. for what purpose does the rise?man from wowed, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. >> mr. speaker, i rise today in opposition to the republican budget proposal t

mr. wilson: mr. speaker, it is budget week in washington. today house republicans under the leadership of chairman paul ryan unveiled the new budget. our nation has racked up nearly $17 trillion in debt due to out-of-control government spending. in order to prevent our children and grandchildren from paying higher taxes with no results, house republicans have found a way to balance our budget over the next 10 years by cutting wasteful spending, reforming our tax code to create jobs, preserving entitlement programs, and expanding opportunities for all americans. house republicans understand the severity of the issue and are willing to work with the senate and president to balance our budget. i am pleased that due to the passage of the no budget, no pay act the senate will return to regular order and pass a budget for the first time in four years. i look forward to working with the senate and the president to cut spending and make substantial job creating reforms that will encourage small businesses to create jobs. in conclusion, god bless our

wilson: mr. speaker, it's now been 807 days since i arrived in congress to address jobs, and the republican leadership has still not allowed a single vote on serious legislation to address our unemployment crisis. more than 12 million american families do not have the luxury of waiting on this issue. they are devastating. there are five students in my district who graduated from harvard in 2011, and they're still looking for work. think of the lost talent. it's time for congress to understand that unemployment is an urgent national crisis. it results in lost tax revenue, high government expenditures and unbearable levels of human suffering. mr. speaker, our real deficit is unemployment. let's eliminate this true deficit by bringing the president's american jobs act to the floor for a vote. it deserves a vote. mr. speaker, our mantra should be jobs, jobs, jobs. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the hous
