mr. kucinich does.hat the resolution, my friends in the republican leadership, has drafted does is nothing. your resolution doesn't even have to go to the senate. it won't go to the senate. it directs the president to do a whole bunch of things that, quite frankly, he can ignore because this bill doesn't mean anything. what this is, let's be clear about what this is, this is a way for some of my friends on the other side of the aisle to cover their backsides. to be able to say to their constituents, we did something tough on libya. let me read to you how tough the language is in the bill that the speaker of the house has drawn up. all the tough language. sounds good except when you look a little bit more closely, you realize this is an h.res. which doesn't mean a anything. so if you are into symbolism, if you are into therapy, vote for the boehner resolution. if you are interested in action, if you are interested in actually living up to our responsibilities as lawmakers in the united states congress, t

mr. chairman, i yield back. the chair: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from new york rise? the gentleman is recognized. mr. tonko: seems the republicans aren't stopping at medicare but cutting crucial assistance to women and children. we simply cannot afford to lose our values. when the going gets tough, are we a nation that abandons our most vulnerable by giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires or a nation that holds close the most basic obligations we have to our fellow citizens, food for young children, medicare and social security for our seniors and an education for our students. we have many tough choices to make during these tough economic times. cutting a program that provides food assistance for families that would otherwise go without should absolutely not be one of them. the w.i.c. program is one of our nation's most cost effective and successful programs. nearly 50% of babies born in the united states rely on w.i.c. 10 million americans benefit from this most basic food assistance at a cost of less than $100 per perso

mr. speaker. what does it say about our society when a bbc documentary on child poverty ends with the words of a child, when she says, "and i do not want to grow up to speed? >> it says, frankly, that we need to do far more, not just here in the u.k., but around the world. we have maintained the pledge, and we are keeping the pledge, so we increase our budget of the gross national income by 2013. that is a difficult pledge to make, but i think even at times of difficulty, we should not break up promises to the poorest people in the world. in terms of child poverty is not just looking at benefit levels but actually at mobility. how do we help people get out of poverty and stay out of poverty? that is what this government is putting so much emphasis -- that is why. >> mr. speaker, i had the honor to represent the only tend to have given its name to international sport, rugby football. will the prime minister join me in expressing gratitude to the new zealand authorities for proceeding despite the recent earth

mr. cut? does anybody know? >> ernie banks. >> and he once said, let's play too.did in chicago today. the giants played too anyway. wayne, start the clock. perfect day for two games in one day. 4-3 giants in the third. pat burrell towering home run. 7th of the season. he plew up today. giants out in a big way. they won 13-7. game two, brandon crawford. he splits the defense. barry zito is the winning pitcher tonight. 6-3 the final. curt -- he smacks it to right. makes the diving catch. matsui does score now. the a's leading that game late. south carolina was looking for the second straight national title. peter is the game cox. u.s.a. and north korea in the women's world cup. the header wins 2-0. the 2004 champion has been a nonfactor since the shoulder injury. she is right back in it. is going for the color for the furs time in seven years. >> seven in a row. they win two today. they are an amazing team. >> we're coming back at 11:00, see you then. ♪ [ woman ] sam begged and pleaded... so i sent him to camp. we'd earned lots of points with our new citi thankyou c

the rule does not permit consideration of mr. connier's amendment that was focused on the fee matter that violates the -- corrects the violation of the rule. it also does not permit consideration of the grace period, preservation and prior clarification that is essential to small ventures. if we are to go to the first to file system, we need to make sure that we protect prior user rights and we protect the grace period that has been with our system for so long or else we are going to disempower small innovators. that is simply wrong. this is a bill that had in the past gain nearly unanimous support when mr. sensenbrenner was chair, when mr. conyers was chair. i am distressed to report today that i cannot support this measure after working on it since 1997. not only does it violate the rules, it costs the treasury and it will disempower small innovative inventors. so this is wrong, and the amendments that could have been put in order to correct them were not permitted. i think this is really quite a shame and i would urge that the

mr. farr: does the bill have anything to do what you are talking about? mr. king: there is a line item in the bill that provides $15 million and to go grants for telemedicine. mr. farr: that's not in the amendment. mr. king: it says none of of the fuvends may be used for r.u.-46 may be used for any purpose. and i addressed this language to the broader bill. and because there are funds available, that's why i'm concerned this application that i'm used has gone according to sebelius goon toe these grants. thn it wouldn't have an effect. mr. chairman, i i urge the adoption of my amendment. mr. farr: i move to strike the last word. i rise in opposition. because fall of all, telemedicine is not legal or wise and what the gentleman is going to talk about is illegal drug in the united states. it has been a legitimate drug in the united states after it met all the f.d.a. process in 1996 and has been available since 2000 in this country and i remember ghates this committee about the condition. it is available in a all 50 states, in washington, d.c.,, in guam and puert

does the gentleman claim time in opposition? >> opposition. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. airman, i rise in opposition to this amendment. the davis-bacon act is a simple concept and it's a fair concept. what it does is protect the government as well as the workers in carrying out the policy of paying decent wages for government contracts. i noticed that the previous speaker was really concerned about the possibility that davis-bacon would raise the cost of the performance of these contractors, but it only requires that prevailing wages in the area where the contract is going to be performed is maintained. for example, if in some of our urban areas where labor costs are very, very high and the prevailing wages are there, the standard of living and the wage payment for that area would be consistent. if it was in a lower wage area, then davis-bacon wages would be the wages that were paid in that market. so basically just allows the workers to be paid at a rate consistent with where the project is being conducted. the act requires that every construction contract with the feder

mr. waxman: ok. does the gentleman from kentucky wish for us to complete our time and then are you prepared to -- mr. whitfield: i have one additional speaker and then i'd like to close on my side. mr. waxman: i'm going to close on my side so why don't you yield. mr. whitfield: at this time i'd like to yield to mr. scalise, a member of the energy and commerce committee. the chair: the gentleman from louisiana is recognized for two minutes. mr. scalise: thank you. i thank the gentleman from kentucky for yielding. i rise in strong support of the jobs and energy permitting act of 2011. you want to talk about a jobs bill, you want to talk about a bill that will actually allow us to decrease our dependence on middle eastern oil, this is it. now, some of my colleagues on the other side say, oh, it's going to take 10 years to get that oil. the reason it's going to take 10 years is because for the last four years they've been trying to get their permit to go and drill where there's known oil and known reserves an

mr. speaker, does the prime minister disagree with the institute of fiscal studies that with inflation 4.5% more than half his government's target it's hitting pensioners and low-incomed families the hardest. >> the thing into pensions there's a triple guarantee of earnings or prices or 2.5% whichever is higher so it's not going to affect them in a way. clearly we want to see inflation come down. i think there's a shared agreement across the house. it's right for the bank of the england to have that responsibility but i know what he doesn't raise today the very welcomed news we've seep the fall in unemployment that we've seen in any time we've seen in the decade. i think it's time the party opposite begin welcoming good news. >> there is increasing concern in this house and across the country about the hidden suffering hidden trafficked children. does the prime minister agree that a coordinated multiagency approach right across the country from borders then to local authorities local police forces and including the charitable organizations involved in this work is promoted urgently? >> i th

for what purpose does the gentleman from alabama rise? mr. aderholt: mr. chairman, i insist on a point of order. the chair: state your point of order. mr. aderholt: i make a point of order against the amendment because it proposes to change existing law and constitutes legislation in an appropriation bill that therefore violates clause 2 of rule 21. the state -- the rule states that an amendment shall not be in order if it changes existing law requires a new determination. i would ask a ruling from the chair. the chair: does anyone wish to speak on the point of order? the chair will rule. the chair finds that this amendment includes language requiring a new determination, the amendment therefore constitutes legislation in violation of clause 2 of rule 21, the point of order is sustained and the amendment is not in order. ms. speier: mr. speaker, number 18. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 18 printed in the congressional record offered by ms. speier of california. the chair: the gentleman from alabama. mr. aderho

mr. speaker. prime minister, what does it say about our society when a bbc on child poverty ends with the words of a child when she says, and i don't want to grow up. >> well, it says, frankly, that we need to do far more to tackle child poverty, not just here in the u.k. but also around the world and that is one of the reasons why despite difficult spending decisions we have maintained the pledge to keep the budget of and to increase the national gross income that is a difficult pledge to make but at times a difficulty we shouldn't break our promises to the poorest people in the world. in terms of child poverty here in britain, i think the biggest challenge today is not just looking at benefit levels but actually looking at mobility. how do we help people get out of poverty and stay out of poverty? that is why this government is putting so much emphasis on things like the pupil premium because it's things like that to help people build themselves a better future. >> i have the represent the only town for the football and you understand the union code the home nations are preparing for the world c

mr. anthony does not know mr. all ever receiving phone calls from him. so obviously a very big discrepancy when the defense here is saying that they have george anthony's cell phone records. so i think this is going to be one of the big issues we're going to hear about tomorrow in court. >> okay. and then this is something a lot of folks on our team were talking about today. there was this odd exchange between casey anthony and her mother cindy yesterday. what happened? >> well, if we have the video. we saw cindy anthony on the witness stand after her testimony, which she was a little bit evasive. she mouthed the words "i love you." those words. casey anthony, on the other hand, just sort of, i don't know, her reaction was very odd. she just kind of -- didn't really do much. so yeah, everyone is thinking that was really very interesting. cindy anthony trying to reach out to her daughter. was she trying to help her with her evasive answers? who knows. >> we're midpoint in a trial. as you said, the defense begins tom

mr. saleh does not return there could be this power vacuum in the country. he was probably the least bad option for yep men at this point, especially when you look at how other countries had looked to him, as i was saying, the least bad option in the country. >> well, that's true, monita. you have people saying if he doesn't come back, there will be a power vacuum. you have others who say there's already a power vacuum there. i've spoken to a lot of officials in the past two days who says there is no functioning government there. what's stoking even more fears is what's going to happen with al qaeda there. for months people have been worried, especially u.s. officials, that if saleh leaves, no matter if there's a demand on him, if he leaves, will al qaeda which has a hub in yemen, they eve been able to try to launch very sophisticated attacks from within yemen against other western countries. there were reports of more clashes between islamic militants and security forces in the city of singh gentleman bar. we're now hearing nine soldiers in total were kille

mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from florida rise? >> address the house for one minute, revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from florida is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, the partisan debt resolution was dead on arrival yesterday. but what really should have been d.o.a. is the republican plan to end medicare and turn seniors over to private insurance companies. today, despite the outright rejection of this plan from south florida to western new york and all across america, republicans will try to deem and pass the reckless ryan budget. mr. deutch: that's right. those who decry deem and pass during the health care reform debate now seek to use it to end medicare. in fact, it was the distinguished chairman of the rules committee who in an effort to stoke fear over the affordable care act dericively labeled deem and pass the slaughter solution. apparently using deem and pass to help ensure 50 million uninsured american

mr. rooney does. i oppose this war, it's unconstitutional, it's in violation of statute, and there's a way to end the war, vote for rooney step one and the kucinich-amash amendment which defunds the d.o.d. bill, you can do that when we come back. but to claim that the arab league is somehow asking for us to continue this attack on libya is plain false. the fact of the matter is we have al jazeera reporting that italy's foreign minister and outgoing head of the arab league have called for a halt to hostilities in libya. it was reported that two days ago, the outgoing head of the arab league, said now it's time to do whatever we can to reach a political solution and that has to start with a cease-fire under international position. you don't have the arab league here saying come on, go for, it prosecute the war. bomb libya. they are not saying that at all. we have to be very clear about that. even china who is eating our lunch financially, they are not involved in this war. they are saying there ought to

so, i will be other -- very interested in what happened. >> what does happen now? >> mr. chairman, members of the board, as you know, in the staff report i think that the problem is that if it were up to us and everything was perfect in this world, we cannot do everything. the details going on with the other street clothes and a major portion of southbound traffic being detoured onto post and montgomery, to our buses turning on market, that is causing the issue. we do not want to put in something with unintended consequences like this report, making the other areas near rye degraded. a good example is forestry if it were not for the construction going on right now, the unintended consequence would be if we were to prohibit the right turn from northbound 31st on the market. first, i do not know the -- that it would gain in the space. and you do not gain any space. the people that normally make that right turn onto market, since they cannot do that anymore the first option would be to cross and turn right drug going across on montgomery. flex the first three have to do -- h
