mr. miller: we continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from florida reserves his time the gentleman from california. mr. filner: i thank the gentleman for the description of dr. seuss. a great citizen of the city of san diego. where i'll soon be mayor. and great hero to all of us in san diego. so we always quote dr. seuss. i understand your appreciation and am thrilled by it. you are not quite as accurate, though, when you say where we got the money for the filipino veterans bill. we got it from a completely different source. you may or may not be accurate on my previous votes. but i never took the pledge you have taken, mr. chairman. i never took the pledge all of you have taken. about thinking of extending fees as also a new tax. so i think it's a different situation. i'll yield when i'm finished and you have a lot of time left. so we're coming from whole different places. i believe in the jobs bill that's being voted on in the senate, that we should actually, in fact, not only cut programs but incr

mr. miller: this friday, october 7, marks the 10th anniversary of the beginning of the war in afghanistan. our men and women in uniform have fought valiantly in this war over the last decade at great cost. more than 1,700 american soldiers have lost their lives that they fought to destroy al qaeda and hunt down osama bin laden, 1,000 more have come home with very serious lifelong injuries. when i'm at home in california and talk with veterans and their families, i can see how much our soldiers have sacrificed. i want to offer my sincere thanks and appreciation to all the men and women in uniform who have carried out their duty in afghanistan. as the anniversary approaches, i am thinking particularly of the army captain john hawlis of california in my congressional district. he was killed in action in southern afghanistan on august 25, 2009. i was honored to have provided him a congressional nomination to the west point academy.

mrs. miller, can you recall my number-one? >> item number one, the ordinance for bowling alleys and theaters to provide alcoholic beverages. supervisor kim: there is a conversation today about making an amendment to the legislation in the mission and i believe this project may be moved forward in the mission, but i don't know if we can ask a question to the city attorney about whether there would be a deferral to the planning commission. >> after consulting with miss hayward, it sounds like planning did not really contemplate or consider the idea of having this theatre. they considered the idea of a single-screen theater for this legislation. and the modification to the planning code amendments, they have to be referred back to planning for reconsideration. >> i have to say i do support this amendment, however, we did start this process early in the summer and many businesses we work with are working on a specific time line. i would prefer that we pass this out of committee today, with legislation that i am happy to co-sponsor

mr. miller saying that i am not responsible for our city's bankruptcy. it is not my fault. notice he did the right thing and it allowed the bankruptcy, because he is basically admitting the problem, even though everyone knows it is just one agency that caused the problem in harrisburg, not a systemic failure. the problem as it relates to the situation is that laguna honda hospital basically needs more examinations and more hearings like them. in terms of the resolution, i think we should debate it and maybe have the sponsor sit here and answer some questions, rather than just sponsoring the legislation that were made a totally silent. for $2 million i think we should spend a little more time. it the city is that free with the money, could you hand me to million-dollar scum and i guarantee i will make a profit with the money. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is as washington. i am here speaking basically in parallel. -- ace washington. it comes down to a couple of issues, particularly when you were dealing with city government. i have be

mrs. miller: mr. speaker, i move to strike the last word. the chair: the gentlelady is recognized for five minutes. mrs. miller: we certainly understand that our economy is struggling, that millions of americans can't find a job. too many families are struggling to make ends meet. and that the american people are very frustrated that washington is simply not doing enough to get our economy moving. and i would argue not only is washington doing enough to get our economy moving but it is actually harming the efforts of american innovators, of manufacturers, of small businesses, of the job creators because of government overregulation. and the fact is today that the obama administration has publicly listed almost 220 new regulations just this year alone, that's a 15% increase in one year alone of new regulatory actions under consideration. each one of them is estimated to cost at least $100 million each, if you can imagine. mr. speaker, the bill that's currently under consideration would provide rel

mr. miller remains locked up and bond has increased today from $500,000 up to $750,000. while he is now charged with child abuse, it is very likely that he will be facing much more serious charges in the very near future. brad bell, abc7 news. >>> coming up, celebrating breast cancer survivors. see how chris cooley helps. >> spotted in manassas a boar named wilbur comes into town. the best place for a vacation is mississippi. you mean louisiana. florida's where folk's want to be. alabama's got you all beat. no matter which state you choose everyone agrees the gulf is vacation at it's best. mississippi outdoors, louisiana seafood, florida beaches, alabama shoreline. so come on down to mississippi louisiana, florida, alabama. the gulf is the world's goodtime headquarters. and we are 100% open for business. >>> breaking news from northeast where police say a person must them to death. they recall to virginia avenue to investigate a disturbance call and they are now looking for a female suspect. they believe the crime as a domestic in nature. >>> the search is on for the sus

>> well, miss miller was not only beautiful, but she was very bold. and mr. as from a country culturally where men generally dominated and manipulated women. and miss miller dumped mr. esfehani. >> dumped him? >> dumped him. and i don't believe he could take that. he was a jilted lover. that has all the ingredients for the recipe of murder. >> did abbass esfehani get away with murder? >> he's a very likely suspect. i don't know if he did it. >> while the facts point to him, and the case ended with him, as the primary suspect. and because of the government and politics, we can't go back and get him now. we don't have any relationship with that government anymore. >> next, remember the second suspect police had focused on? >> antonio alverez. >> tony alverez was the cousin of the victim's roommate, he was older and perhaps grayer but still 30 years later answering questions about the case. after all, he'd been in the house many times, and prosecutors now admitted the dark hairs found on the victim's body belonged to him. >> were you in the room when cheryl mille

mr. chairman ranking miller -- member costello.the present of the airline pilots association representing over 53,000 pilots who fly for 39 airlines and all cargo carriers and the united states in canada. on behalf of our members i want to thank you or the opportunity to provide our perspectives on nextgen. a few weeks ago, i was the captain of an aircraft operating in the reagan national airport and approach that all of you are familiar with. and you probably experienced a rapid altitude decline over the potomac in the last few minutes of a flight when arriving here from the south and dca. the necessary drop, because air traffic comptrollers keep airplanes high, the air traffic high in the reagan and till the last few minutes to avoid andrews to the east and dulles to the north and west. now we are kept high to avoid the other traffic because as a nation, we are operating our air traffic control system largely with the same outdated and imprecise equipment and i stress procedures that were used during the 1950s. nextgen will bring
