mr. diaz-balart. mr. diaz-balart: independent payment advisory board was created and this board gives 15 unelected superbureaucrats to slash access to care and forces providers to stop seeing medicare patients. the house passed legislation this year with bipartisan support repealing this board by a rather large margin. you see both agree that allowing a panel of bureaucrats in washington to make these critical health care decisions instead of patients and families to make those decisions is not the way way to keep our promises. for those reasons and many thers, this reconciliation package will repeel that. mr. cole: i want to focus on strong boinch support and plans that are deemed too dangerous. this would include plans which $10,250 nefits about for individuals. a recent survey anticipates one third of employers would face this by 2018. plans s to less generous from employers, the exact on soist what the affordable health care plan was supposed to accomplish. republicans have a bill to repeal this tax w

mr. pallone: mr. chairman, i rise in opposition to h.r. 702, a poorly crafted bill that needlessly and recklessly sweeps away 40 years of critical energy protections for national security, our economy, consumers, and the environment. h.r. 702 is a blunt object that doesn't just undermine current protective authorities related to crude oil, it also prohibits any federal official from taking any action at any time if that action either restricts or enforces a restriction on the export of oil. the term restriction is undefined and potentially dangerous in scope. the bill will also override any other law that would impose any restriction by any federal official on exports. that means that the bill does nothing to preserve any environment or safety statutes or regulations an doesn't even preserve the defense production act, one of the most important tools any president has to ensure our national energy security in the face of a threat. let's be clear, mr. chairman, the president has stated he will veto thi

mr. chairman. mr. horn, thank you for being here. i think it is appropriate you come before the committee, you apologize for the actions, and that you and vw take full responsibility for what has transpired. it is disappointing. i'm aware our governor has been at the chattanooga facility. i know that the governor, state legislators, the other members of the delegation and i are quite concerned about this. you have a lot of hard-working, honest tennessee people who are at that facility. we are concerned about the actions of a few. we are going to be very precise with you and vw. it is, as the chairman said, basically the who, what, when, where, how and why. why you did it, how you did it, when you did it, lending you -- new, did it go across the brand, was it in new regulations, was it pointed at climate regulations? this is a systemic failure. someonelso point out, could say it is a safety issue. but i say it is an issue of integrity. we appreciate you are here. we look forward to hearing

both mr. harper and mr. trudeau have failed on keystone. >> i look at the facts of the keystone xl pipeline. i'm simply citing the report done by the u.s. state department itself, which actually did an independent analysis of this. it creates jobs on both sides of the border, of course, as exports always do. i understand the protectionists in the ndp don't recognize that, but it's a fact. it's good for our energy security, displacing foreign oil from countries that are quite frankly security risks to north america. and compared to the al tentatives it is by far the invest environmental solution in terms of moving product to market. so we have a strong case. i would also point out, the reason i say this will be adopted eventually is, through the efforts of our embassy and this government, we have created overwhelming public support in the united states for this position on both sides of the aisle in congress and clear majorities in public opinion. and it is my view that when something, the logic of something

mr. burr: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from minority north car. mr. burr: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to vitiate the quorum call. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. burr: mr. president, i listened patiently to my friend and colleague. we're on the committee together, so this is not the first time we've had a frank discussion. but let me say to those companies that have reached out to him, and he listed them, i'm not going to bother to go through 53 associations and the numbers of companies that are represented. it's hundreds and hundreds and hundreds, sectors of our economies. it's the financial industry. it's automotive. it's practically everybody in retail. and there are a couple of things that just shock me still, because i really just can't make the connection. a technology company that has a tremendous amount of users, and those users put their personal data on that -- pick one -- and the companies say there's nothing more important than protecting th

mr. royce: mr. speaker, tragically religious persecution around the world continues, and i thought i would give one example that we heard in our committee last week in the foreign affairs committee from bazi who is a young 20-year-old ue zitty woman -- woman from iraq. she so bravely recounted her brutal captivity and the abuse she faced at the hands of isis. and as we're talking about religious freedom, she explained that in her village, the 700 men and boys were killed, including several of her brothers. one small brother survived because he had a bullet in his head and they thought he was dead. but other than that, her family are all gone. she was bought by an american who had been recruited to isis about four years prior, she said. and he bought 10 of the girls nd sold nine and kept her as a concubine. she recounted how he explained to her that because she was a uziti, she was an infidel in his mind, she was a pagan in his mind and therefore he had the right to enslave and rape nd sell women and

mr. pallone: mr. chairman, i yield three minutes to the gentleman from texas, mr. green. the chair: the gentleman from texas is recognized for three minutes. mr. green: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise in opposition to h.r. 702. in the past 10 years, the united states has undergone an energy revolution. it has far exceeded analysis and prediction. the success in this field has materialized in the jobs in our district in the houston district both in the chemical and refining industries. the price of oil dropped from $100 a barrel to $45 a barrel. gasoline prices have fallen from $4 per gallon to less than $2 in houston. i represented our refinery complexes for many years. all of this benefited our economy and the consumer. unfortunately, the success has brought hardship on the upstream producers. the energy sector, which led our country out of the recession, is now laid off -- has now laid off approximately 150,000 folks. bloomberg estimated 40% of these layoffs were in texas. i know the oil industry is

mrs. maloney: mr. speaker, when the american public health association totaled the cost of gun violence in the united states for one year, it amounted to $174 billion, about 3 $363 for every american. if you consider just the loss of life, more americans have been killed by guns since 1968 than have died in all the wars this country has ever fought. and now once more in the wake of another mass shooting, too many leaders have responded with indifference. just move on. but when 32 americans are killed with a gun every single day, we cannot afford to stand still. we cannot just move on. so far in this congress the house has held not one single hearing on the gun violence. not one chance to evaluate ways to curb this epidemic of gun violence. mr. speaker, we cannot go on like this. not one more american should die because congress has failed to act. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yield back. for what purpose does the gentleman from north carolina seek recognition? ms. foxx: i ask unani

mr. smith: mr. speaker, last month, pope francis admonished a joint session of congress to follow the golden rule, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. he said the golden rule impels to protect and defend human life at every stage of development and it's wrong to remain silent and look the other way. establishing this select committee is the right thing to do we simply can't remain silent or look the other way. instead congress needs to thoroughly investigate profoundly disturbing conduct by top level planned parenthood officials. caught on tape, and i've watched all the tapes, planned parenthood's top leadership, not interns or lower level employees, showed callous disregard for human lives while gleefully calculated the gains from the sale of baby body parts. we know that every day, planned parenthood dismembers or chemically poisons to death approximately 900 unborn babies. since 1973, more than seven million children have been violently killed in planned parenthood clin ebbics. now

mr. messer: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and tend their remarks and include any extraneous materials on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. messer: mr. speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. messer: thank you, mr. speaker. first, i apologize for my voice today. my son hudson and i attended the patriots-colts game on sunday night, and unfortunately the colts were not successful by a touchdown but i lost my voice in the process of rooting them on. i'd like to thank budget chairman tom price and ranking member van hollen for bringing h.r. 1315 to the floor. i rise today in support of this small but important measure. h.r. 1315 requires the president's annual budget submission to congress to include the cost per taxpayer of any budget deficit in a given fiscal year. this bill is based on a simple principle, each hardworking amer

mr. bryne: mr. speaker, i think what the gentleman from florida said at the beginning was inaccurate. he said that we brought two things together in this rule that are not related to one another. they are. they're related both to energy production in this country. and that's what the rule is about. now, i'm standing here today as the grandson of a man who was shot and killed by someone who was mentally ill in 1920. i know the importance of that issue. i know what it means to families. who have been victimized by it. and there may be a day and a time for us to have this debate, but it's not today. today we're talking about the energy security of our country. it was today we're here to talk about freeing up the american economy and freeing up domestic producers so that they can sell their product abroad, as we are now going to allow iran to sell their product abroad. so i would like for us to get back to the debate on energy. that's what we're here today about. i reserve the balance of my time. the sp

mr. byrne: mr. speaker, by the direction of the committee on rules, i call up house resolution 449 and ask for its immediate consideration. the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will report the resolution. the clerk: house calendar number 62, house resolution 449. resolved, that upon adoption of this resolution it shall be in order to consider in the house the bill h.r. 3457, to prohibit the lifting of sanctions on iran until the government of iran pays the judgments against it for acts of terrorism, and for other purposes. all points of order against consideration of the bill are waived. the amendment in the nature of a substitute printed in the report of the committee on rules accompanying this resolution shall be considered as adopted. the bill, as amended, shall be considered as read. all points of order against provisions in the bill, as amended, are waived. the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the bill, as amended, and on any further amendment thereto, to final passage without

mrs. comstock: thank you. mr. speaker, i rise today to honor speaker john boehner, a hardworking, dedicated gentleman who has served this institution with dignity and diligence. his perseverance in this role has been a true service to the nation. he's a class act whose respect for the institution and his love of country are extraordinary. i've been privileged to work with speaker boehner first when i was a congressional staffer on capitol hill back in the 1990's, when i worked for my predecessor, and at that time republicans took a historic majority in 1994. at that time speaker boehner then was in the leadership. and then this year i was able to join as a member of congress myself with the largest republican majority since the 1920's, and serve with speaker boehner once again. i know from that experience both as a staffer as well as a member the incredible great treatment he always gave his staff and how we all know the legendary boehnerland and how he's always been so wonderful to work with. speaker boehner has

mr. haynes: i was born and raised in west virginia. i spent my whole childhood there. >> did you go to public school? mr. haynes: yes, private and public school until i went to catholic school. >> what was it like in west virginia, i imagine college football was a big deal, mr. haynes: i grew up in when i lived there it was 16,000. pretty small. >> look in of aspirations that you have -- what kind of aspirations did you have >> . mr. haynes: because my father was a professor of engineering, we had a very international circle of friends. i had a real hunger to see the world. i met a lot of people, listened to where they came from, different cultures and ways of looking at things. i had a big desire to travel. >> is that what took you to the cia? mr. haynes: no, a kind of came and got me. i was doing programming. at the time, they intelligence ranch was buying technology but did not have talent to use it. they combed universities and a program where they brought in 100 of us, probably the s

mr.ernanke: congress was mostly, you know, in the critical mode for the most part. charlie: let's talk about some of the headlines and talk about carolinag from south to harvard and from harvard to m.i.t., and to stanford and to princeton. idea that you and hank kateon decided to opt for -- obstet eight as what you what you could do at the time of the lehman brothers crisis. mr. bernanke: when lehman brothers failed, the financial system when into cardiac arrest -- went into cardiac arrest. we were worried about runs on other countries. for a few days, we agreed to be vague about it. it was an honest choice based on our concern about the panic getting worse. charlie: what were the consequences of that decision? mr. bernanke: we were in a lose-lose situation. if we did not have the power, that would create fear. -- there was a feeling what we had done was arbitrary. book, thel in my failure of lehman was something we try to avoid, but could not. aig, we were able to avoid. charlie: you had

mr. craven: across 37 years, most of the missions we conducted our classified. they are the top secret level. you retain that classification for a minimum of 25 years. to light, as they come and we unredacted them, i think the working people will be pleased to see what has been done at large for them over the many decades. thatie: you have told me every night, special forces heading mission in afghanistan -- had a special mission in afghanistan like that. mr. craven: in iraq or afghanistan, the profile was similar. the distances were longer. missionsexity of the we have done both in iraq and afghanistan, the real credit to the bin laden raid really goes, as i have said before come to the president and the national security team and the central intelligence agency and the nsa. those folks in the agencies that located the compound. the president made the very tough decision for us to do the mission. i'm proud of my guys. i think they did a marvelous job. the mission was something that -- an

mr. ellison: mr. speaker, if you look at the headlines, words like physical function, and drama focused on the capitol today. people across this country are not focused on that. they are focused on their families and their lives. if they are focused on congress t. probably has something to do with the exspiring pieces of legislation that are so important. things like transportation. things like funding the government. all these critical questions in front of us yet the distraction of this leadership fight seems to be capturing our attention, but it's not capturing the attention of the american people. i look forward, mr. speaker, to return to the real business ofp governing. we have all -- of governing. we have all the trust of the american people and this thing here is a useless distraction away from the real business. let's pass the legislation we are sent here to pass and refocus on what the bread and butter issues are for the american people. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yi

mr. royce: mr. speaker, i rise today in support of the retail investor protection act, and the department of labor's proposal here is going to harm the very working class americans that the administration claims that it's supporting. this is not hyperbole. this is not a hypothetical. i want to give you the real results of what happened in the united kingdom when it enacted similar regulation in 2013. here are the disastrous results. 310,000 clients were dropped. 60,000 new investors were rejected. an estimated 11 million potential savers were priced out of advice. in the face of these facts, the department of labor continues to insist on applying the failed philosophy of government knows best to retirement savings. mr. speaker, i urge my colleagues to support this legislation. and thank the gentlewoman from missouri for her leadership on this. i yield back the balance of my time. mrs. maloney: will the gentleman yield? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the g

mrs. lowey: mr.er, i ask as a much time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. mrs. lowey: mr. speaker, we may temporarily avert this most recent crisis if we can get this bill to the president tonight, just hours before the entire federal government shuts down. but it is certainly not a cause for celebration. this very short term continuing resolution avoids the most immediate crisis, but what is step two? after we enact this stop gap measure, are there any firm plans to begin negotiating the full year appropriations bills we should be passing today? remain deeply concerned about the potential of finding ourselves facing a government shutdown again in december. the stakes are very high. we have an economy that is general which win -- genuinely recovering, unemployment is dun, -- down, economic growth is up, but we still have progress to make. the uncertainty and unnecessary tumult of playing games right up to the brink of a government shutdown is not helpful to our

mr. swalwell -- mr. jeffries: i thank the gentleman from california, and for everything you've done to make sure that issues of importance to generations of americans such as the one we're discussing here today get prominence on the house floor and of course to be here with the still young pioneers of this wonderful effort, congresswoman wasserman schultz and congressman ryan is a great honor. clearly we have a student debt crisis that commands the attention of the american people and should command the attention of people here in the house of representatives and on the other side of the capitol, but does not always do so, which is why communicating the urgency of the situation is so significant, just the notion i've got constituents just shocked by the fact that collectively we've got over $1 trillion of student loan debt here in america. and that's a very real number in terms of its implications, as you pointed out, congressman swalwell, for the capacity of younger americans to robustly pursue the amer

mr. kauffman -- mr. kaufman, you state the importance of recognizing trends and fraud against the elderly as the pop lair of -- population of older americans continues to grow. the census estimates that the number of seniors 65 and older will surpass americans under a age 18 for the first time, actually, we're 18 years away from that, in 201313. -- in 2033. what resources is the f.t.c. putting toward following trends in fraud against the elderly, allocate regular sources to prosecute fraud,ing and assessing the risk? mr. kaufman: our consumer sentinel database, which has millions of complaints, is an incredibly important tool for us. we all share information, put it into the database and we're frequently analyzing it, looking for trends an developments. we're also continuing to do more law enforcement and more outreach. it's a very important priority or us. mr. bilirakis: i've had several seminars in my area in florida and you participated, the f.t.c. has, and done a wonderful job. maybe this question al

mr. horn, i'm glad you came to testify here. while we know all of the things i just talked about, there's a lot more things we do not know. and we need answers for them. for example, volkswagen has not revealed how the device affects the engine. white was installed, and how it was able to evade the tests? you have not revealed when and how the engines equipped will be fixed. whether the fix will affect fuel economy or performance of the vehicle. you have not revealed what volkswagen told regulators over the last year as epa and the california board were trying to figure out why the emissions were out of compliance. you have not revealed whether the voluntary recalls that volkswagen set in place in 2014 were millemerely a ruse. were they trying to figure out what was wrong and fix them? for did they know they had defeat devices were only trying to buy time with regulators? you have not revealed who is responsible for this game. we have all seen the press three points, and we can speculate

mr. yang: we let supply and demand determine the value of the remnibi. i think generally speaking it is quite steady in value. and we will, of course, continue to do reform in china. in various sectors, including the financial sector. and when people look back 10 years or 15 years from now, we see that the market reform is really good. not only for china, but for the rest of the world. betty: let's see, 12 months from now, will the rmb be lower in value? mr. yang: it is normal for the currency to move either way. but it is a reliable currency, and more and more people actually do their trades in renminbi. and i am sure it will continue to play a healthy role not only in the chinese community but in the international trade and investment and so on and so forth. betty: were you surprised by how the markets reacted to the devaluation of the renminbi? mr. yang: let me say this. every country has its challenges and their problems, and every country should do a better job of their own economy.

mr. mcgovern: mr. speaker, one of the greatest health challenges facing our country right now is hunger. we have a hunger problem in the united states of america. and for far too long we have minimized the problem, some have even ignored the problem. in short, our response has been inadequate. and we have failed to view hunger as a health issue, which it is. for our nation's youngest and most vulnerable, our children, the negative effects of childhood hunger are pervasive and long lasting. last week i was pleased to see the american academy of pediatrics release its newest policy statement which for the first time recommends that pediatricians screen all children for food insecurity. the new recommendations consist of two simple questions for pediatricians to ask parents of young children at their annual well visit to identify and address childhood hunger. it also recommends that pediatricians become more familiar with our roe bust system of anti-hunger programs at the federal, state, and local levels.

mr. yang: let me say this. every country has its challenges and problems, and every country should do a better job of their own economy. betty: they should mind their own business, right? mr. yang: i do not mean that. what i mean is that the chinese economy is a big one, but it is not that big. there are many players in the field. so their economic performance fundamentally has an impact on the behavior of the financial market and so and so forth. and the difference between the chinese stock exchange and the stock exchange of many western countries is there are far more institutional investors in the west. and, of course, there is always room for improvement for anybody, so i do hope that people will take an appropriate and calibrated approach to what happens in the financial markets, wherever it might be. in china or in other countries, so people should be respectful to facts and to be fair. and china is a positive force for world economic growth and will continue to be. betty: our bloom

mr. lobiondo: mr. farenthold. mr. farenthold: you are talking about the need to register drones and enforcement. would that be all drones? or is there some size limit or some cutoff point in which you ought to be able to have a toy drone without having to turn your identity over to the ederal government? >> interesting question. the way we approach is analyzing the capabilities of the vehicle vis-a-vis altitude, range, speed. to see if they could actually end up in airspace shared with airliners. mr. farenthold: i could go on amazon, this is the best-selling u.a.v. i guess they have, it's $45.90. i can have it by friday because i'm an amazon prime member for free shipping. the shipping weight is 1.1 pound. it has a range of 50 meters. that's 165 feet. you're surely not saying that needs to be registered. captain canoll: if it can fly to 1,500, to 2,000 feet yes, sir. mr. farenthold: if it gets to the feet of 50 meters, it's only 165 feet. captain canoll: i'm not sure if that range is being expressed as a lateral range

so you see, mr.brashov, when you divide your bills into categories, like rent, supplies, utilities, and you keep them separate it makes everything much easier. but there are so many bills. i need some way to tell when to pay this one how long to hold that one. that's what this calendar is for. you can make a schedule at the beginning of the month... that shows exactly when you have to make your payments. emery, i see you've been helping mr. brashov organize his life. not an easy job. a challenge perhaps, but nothing we can't solve. how are you, mr. washington ? fine. thanks. what did i tell you ? he knows his stuff. so, how's it going over there ? so far, so good. all right, that's a tuna melt, extra cheese, no mayonnaise, cole slaw on the side ? right. oh, something to drink ? that's interesting. what is ? oh, forget it. it's-- it's nothing. oh, please, mr. bradford. emery. call me emery. all right, emery. what is the problem ? you see the way... katherine puts the pencil behind her ear every time s

mr. reid: mr. president? the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. reid: the day before yesterday, i was surprised by some saying things about congressman ryan, and they said nice things about him. since then, a handful of people have demanded to know why whenever i say nice things about a man who has attacked medicare, medicaid and social security. he has done it in recent history. the answer is very simple -- democrats need, our country needs responsible republicans negotiating partners in congress. if we're to avoid the twin challenges facing us in the coming weeks, avoiding the first-ever default on the full faith and credit of the united states and prevent another government shutdown, we need someone to deal with. we must avoid the self-inflicted wounds that have typified the rule of house republicans and certainly senate republicans. despite our ideological differences, in my view, congressman ryan is the only house republican that i am aware of with real potential to impose a basic m

mr. leahy: mr. president, would the senator yield for just one moment to me? mr. nelson: absolutely. mr. leahy: mr. president, the senator from florida and i have been friends for decades, and to get this praise from a man who served with distinction as a congressman, a senator, and an astronaut means a great deal to me, and i thank him. mr. nelson: well, the senator is very gracious, but i stood to comment upon the characteristics that he has exemplified in his public life that is a role model for all of us. i was about to say that here we are seeing tonight that the u.s. congress is going to be able to move ahead without falling off the fiscal cliff because there's going to be a bipartisan vote in the house of representatives. my goodness gracious! isn't this what it's supposed to be what it's all about? my senator from vermont can remember back well over 0 years ag--well over 30 years ago whene role models in the house of representatives were tip o'neill and bob michel, the democratic speaker and

mr.biden thought the initial spot was too personal. it focusing on the 1972 car crash that killed his wife and daughter, and the ad airs on cnn tonight ahead of the first democratic presidential debate. and that is your news. back to you in the studio. scarlet: thank you so much, mark crumpton. let's go back to jpmorgan. the company reported adjusted earnings-per-share of one dollar 32 cents, missing the consensus estimate. it also represents a decline from the same time last year and from the second quarter. keep in mind, over the past months, 21 analysts have ratcheted down there estimates for jpmorgan, so a lowered bar. and also a decline from last year, jpmorgan blaming the banking revenue that fell, and having said all of that, capital markets and trading would be a real sore spot for the bank. it turns out all of that manage d expectations that jpmorgan did leading up to the results did affect things. the equities revenue topped analysts estimates. in addition, also better than expe

mr. blumenauer, for five minutes. mr. blumenauer: thank you, mr. speaker. we take to the floor to deal with the daily reminders of turmoil around the world, the unrest in the middle east, especially in syria and isis. the sat reality of an unending string of events regarding gun violence. there is unrest in the house as our republican colleagues right now are dealing to try and chart a path forward to reconcile differences of opinion within their own ranks that has some spillover effects for us. but in the background there is a critical issue that we should be focused on, that may not command the headlines, but it is nonetheless a critically important item. we're faced with arcane formulas that govern, dealing with medicare, the rates that recipients pay for their services that have a perverse impact on some of the lowest income seniors. through no fault of their own, 7.7 million senior citizens are going to be treated very unfairly. these are the citizens who have been deemed -- who are

we vote for mr. trump! yes! mr. trump! we love you! we love you. >> [applause] mr.rump: i swear to you, i think she is totally beautiful. i never met her before. i swear. this all started with a "people" magazine. i love the story. , right? but i don't know what happened. they played with myi didn't want to touch it -- played with my nose. i didn't once touch it. >> [indiscernible] mr. trump: i have a wart on the end of my nose. can you believe it? and i said -- i said, look, it is terrible. ok because they meant it well. i think they wanted me to make me look like kerry. i have always wanted to look like kerry grant. but anyways, you are beautiful. come here. >> [cheering] mr. trump: thank you. >> trump! [indiscernible] >> [cheering] [applause] you are beautiful. thank you. thank you, sweetheart. be careful. >> [applause] [cheering] mr. trump: great. that is so great. never met her before. she is amazing. she is amazing. thank you, hun. appreciate it. but that is my relationship with hispanics. nobody believes it, but that is my relationship. in new york, we have a

mr. smock: speaker has a big job and it's evolved over 200 years. it started out as a constitutional office because the constitution says the house shall choose its speaker, they even spelled it 18th century style. choose its speaker and other officers. there were no other duties mentioned and it was assumed, since the founders knew all about speakers from colonial legislatures and from the british parliament going back to the 13th century, what a speaker was. a speaker was a presiding officer. but in our congress, the speaker was not only a presiding officer, he quickly became a powerful person because he appointed committees and that evolved into, as party systems evolved -- first congresses didn't have organized parties. as a two-party system developed, the speaker became the leader of the majority party and took on political ramifications. the constitution is very silent on this, on the powers, the powers of the speaker are what the speaker can make of them. and that's the unique part

senator alexander: thank you, mr. kisicki. mr. rubin. mr. rubin: thank you, senator alexander, senator murray and members of the committee, thank you for giving me this opportunity to testify about the practical impacts of the national labor relations board browning-ferris decision. i would like to focus on why the board's joint employer standard is entirely consistent with the purposes of the national labor relations act and why the board reached the proper result on the actual facts of that case. i had more than 30 years of experience representing low-wage workers in industries like warehousing, production and janitorial services. in those industries and in others where the use of perm and temp employees have become common, violation of wage, hour and discrimination laws are rampant. often, those violations can be traced to the economic pressures that result when a company that in the past would have employed those workers directly instead decides to obtain its workers from a staffing industry and tries to contract away from the staffing a

mr. yang: it is very important on the macro level that the two countries have more coordination of their policies, but let me point out that since the outbreak of the financial crisis seven years ago, people have all worked very hard to revise the world economy. it is not as far as people have expected, but that does not mean that we should not continue our good efforts, and china has done its part. we are no longer having double-digit growth rates. it's just like a high jumper, the higher you go, the more difficult to raise the level. on the other hand, we still have a handsome 7% growth rate here in china. of course, china is not free from its own set of challenges and problems on the economic front. of course, there have been some ups and downs in the stock exchange market, but given china's economic development, given the fact that china is a developing country, some movements on the stock exchange in china should not equal the whole picture of the chinese economy. betty: why devalue

mr. blumenauer: mr. speaker, advocates from the new emerging marijuana industry in oregon are descending capitol hill at a very critical time for this fledgling industry. they have a report about the implementation of oregon's ballot measure 91, overwhelmingly approved by voters last year to legalize, tax and regulate marijuana at the state level. possession became legal july 1. retail sales were authorized existing dispenseries on the first of october to significant interest around the state. the first week saw an estimated 11 million dollars in sales. they're working hard to implement the spirit and the letter of the measure, working closely with the oregon legislature to refine it, learning from the experience of states like washington and colorado that have already legalized adult use. theirs is a positive story of economic product, product development, -- economic development, product development, eliminating the racial disparities in the enforcement of a failed policy of prohibition that comes down

mr.ush: look, stuff happens. there's always a crisis and the impulse is always to do something, and it's not necessarily the right thing to do. mark: at the white house, president obama was asked, how would you react to governor bush? this is what the president said. president obama: i don't even think i have to react to that one. [laughter] president obama: i think the american people should hear that and make their own judgments based on the fact that every couple of months, we have a mass shooting. and they can decide if they consider that "stuff happening." mark: the lines have been drawn pretty clearly. republican candidates are basically saying now is not the time to look for government action. democrats are calling for the kind of gun measures that they call for. will this shooting, given the time of the presidential race, change the debate of politics on guns? drew: i don't think so. these shootings are tragic, depressing, frustrating. i think a lot of americans share the kind of

mr. wenstrup: i thank you, mr. chairman, for yielding. mr. speaker, i'm here to recognize the gentleman from redding, ohio. it's a town in my district full of hardworking people and committed families. this man from redding grew up in a big and very faithful family. he learned the value of hard work, sweeping the floors of his father's bar. and worked his walk through xavier university in cincinnati. when it came to -- when he came to washington, he was a reformer from day one of the -- one. the last man standing from the gang of seven. he worked to clean up corruption from the house bank in the 1990's into banning earmarks today. for the first time in a half century, the house of representatives decreased discretionary spending for two years in a row. mr. speaker, with all of your service in mind, i'm reminded of a teddy roosevelt quote, it says, it's not the critic who counts and not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doctor of deeds could have done -- or whether the door of deeds could have done better, the cre
