mr. scott. senator scott: thank you, mr. chairman -- mr. scott: thank you, mr. chairman. i know the chair mentioned that the 2018 d.h.s. budget was funded and to be honest with you, i remember very little discussion about the budget. i think it was just accepted and it was done and i would just point out to the other members that in the fiscal year 2018 budget, there was $1.375 billion for border wall construction. $251 million in san diego. $445 million for the rio grande valley $196 million, again, for the rio grande valley $445 million for san diego, el centro, yuma and tucson. 84 miles in all. the president has now requested funding for an additional 215 miles. a significant portion of which is the completion of the border wall in those very areas were it was started under the 2018 appropriations where there was little, if any discussion, certainly no discussion about it being immoral to do such a thing. i want to follow-up on what my colleague, mrs. hartzler, said and the congress lady from virginia, ms. lauria was getting at -- i don't pretend to anybody on this com

mr. scott: thank you. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognize -- recognized. mr. scott: thank you. and thank you, chairman bishop, for your distinguished leadership. and thank you for the opportunity to mention several of the issues relevant to the jurisdiction of the education and labor committee. this legislation funds critical nutrition assistance programs that serve children and families , nutrition programs are among the most important and cost effective investments in the federal budget. study after study demonstrates that freedom from hunger is the foundation the children and families need to lift themselves out of poverty. beyond the tragedy of any child going to school on an empty stomach, we cannot expect hungry children to reach their full potential at school, or to grow up as healthy adults, unless they have proper nutrition. but this reckless shutdown has left our constituents with uncertainty, anxiety about the access to programs that they rely on, such as w.i.c. or snap or school meals. these programs are still available and usda is temporarily payin

[ cheers and applause ] that we the people loan power to government under the constitution in order to protect our rights. that government's role is not to run our lives for us, but to provide what lincoln called an open field and fair chance for one's

mr. scott: i claim time in opposition, although it is a technical opposition and not opposed to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. scott: throughout middle and late october and first of november, congressman bishop and i, chriscrossed paths many times and ended up in the same room trying to help our farmers. the sforms straddled our districts. i have never seen the evastation to our crops as i saw over the couple of weeks and the devastation is still there. i can't thank congressman bishop for his work on this amendment and thank his staff and the staff of both the democrat and republicans on the appropriation committee. mr. aderholt from alabama, has been a tremendous amount of help as ms. granger and chairman lowey. mr. mcgovern has been a lot of people. a lot of people have reached out and willing to help out to thousands in the southeast. our losses were estimated at over $5.4 billion for alabama, florida, georgia and the carolinas. the underlying text of the bill is

[applause] mr. scott: thank you, steny, and thank you for your leadership. i want to thank congresswoman rosa delauro for her leadership over the years. more than two decades of friendship and fighting for american workers. anyone who has fought the discrimination knows that the barriers do not fall easily when president kennedy signed the act in 1963. equal pay for equal work, title 7 of the civil rights act of 1964, pay discrimination on the basis of sex is illegal and thanks to these landmark laws and the lilly ledbetter act, we have made substantial progress of making that simple goal a reality. today, more than half a century later when women make up half the work force and own 11 million businesses, gender discrimination exists and we must address unequal pay. the house committee on education and labor, one of the committee's highest priorities within the next month, we will have hearings on the bill and report it out of committee shortly thereafter and hand it this is an opportunity to strike a blow to end justice for equal pay. i look forward to join

mr. scott: thank you, madam speaker. i thank the gentlelady from florida for her distinguished service as a secretary of health and human services and i thank her for yielding. i rise in strong support of this resolution. legal scholars from across the ideological spectrum agree this latest challenge to the affordable care act is legally frivolous. however because of the devastating impact it will have on americans it is critical that we use our authority to intervene on their behalf. if republicans successfully dismant they will affordable care act the consequence will be felt by all americans inclauding the millions of people with employer-sponsored coverage. they will lose protections for patients with pre-existing conditions. they'll lose prohibitions on annual and lifetime coverage limits. they'll lose access to low or no-cost preventive care and they'll lose the popular provision which allows young people to stay on their parent's insurance policies up to the age of 26. these protections are all a product of the af

we now welcome mr. scott. >> thank you. in opening comments were were challenged to state what your plan was. i can tell you our plan is to resort to pay go where you have 1.5 trillion in tax cuts. if you go back as he was asking to 2000 when we had a significant surplus, i remember 2001 after president clinton left office chairman green span was questioned with what would happen when this no government debt. we were projected at that time to pay off the entire debt by 2008 and by 2013 return all of the money to the trust funds. we had massive tax cuts all of a sudden we are back heavily in the ditch. if we had paid for everything we had done since 2000 we would be in a lot better shape than we are now. we have noticed that if these pension funds, there's an old saying if you don't change directions we are heading to them taking down business sz. have you kal ccalculated what i would have in terms of food stamps and lower taxes? >> i'm not sure. we have a report on it. we can get you that report. i'm not sure if that would

i now recognize the gentleman from virginia, mr. scott. >> thank you. thank you, mr. chairman. mr. hall, i appreciate your presence. and i remember in the opening comments we were challenged to state what our plan was. i can tell you that our plan is to resort to pay/go where you don't have $1.5 trillion in unpaid-for tax cuts. in fact as you go back, as mr. connor was asking to 2000, when we had a significant surplus, i remember 2001, after president clinton left office, chairman greenspan was peppered with questions at a hearing as to what would happen when there's no government debt because we were projected at that time to pay off the entire debt held by the public by 2008, and by 2013, return all the money to the trust funds. but we had massive tax cuts, fought two wars without paying for it, passed a prescription drug benefit without paying for it, violating the pay/go principle, and all of a sudden we're back heavily in the ditch. if we had paid for everything we had done since 2000 and hadn't cut taxes without paying for them, we would be in a lot better shape than we are n

scott. mr. kennedy: i would put myself in camp c. the climate if analogy is the right one to use. us in a conversation about where technology is going and where technology policy is going. they are going in different directions. technology, we are seeing more realism. previous year,e lots of hype, amazing amounts of advertising with new technologies the chinese have and are cooking up. vehicles,e autonomous more realism about the difficulty of deploying it. in biotech, some of the editing. around gene we will see greater discussion. i think those are positive things, that we slow down a little bit in some ways. there will be more realism about what china is capable of on the civilian side. it is a more mixed picture than what is often portrayed. the chinese are moving more fast on the civilian side. policy, we areh going to see more conflict. the investment restrictions that were passed last summer, they will be implemented more fully. export controls will be expanded toward emerging technologies. big grenade that has been thrown into this is huawei. the detention of their senior

mr. wheeler of the challenge and opportunity he was granted to chart a new course for the after scott pruitt. mr. wheeler is certainly not the ethically bereft embarrassment scott pruitt proved to be, and to be fair, he has engaged more frequently than scott pruitt with congress and epa career staff. i know that we will not agree on but i had hoped that he would moderate some of scott pruitt's destructive policies, specifically where industry and the environmental community are in agreement. regrettably, my hopes of not been realized. on examination, mr. wheeler's policies seem to be almost as extreme as his predecessor's despite the promise he made when he first appeared before our committee. , he agreed with the goal that many of us share, striking a deal between automakers on the fuel economy and greenhouse gas standards. industry, many members of congress, and other stakeholders have asked repeatedly for a compromise that would provide predictability for the industry. however, rather than making a mr. wheelerrt, -- foroff on a proposal the better part of a decade. the administration now
