mr. thompson: mr. speaker, request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for one minute. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today to congratulate mary lawrence, a native of pennsylvania's fifth congressional district, who was named late last year as one of the five new flight directors to manage the operations of the international space station from nasa's mission control center in houston. mary grew up in wattsburg, erie county, earned a bachelors degree from the pennsylvania university's barron campus in 2001. following graduation, she worked for the u.s. space alliance, a nasa contractor, before joining nasa in 2007. as a flight director, mary will lead teams of flight controllers, research and engineering experts, along with support personnel in ensuring the crew of the international space station have the tools they need to conduct their importa

mr. thompson, mr. coed had a few problems we could do advocate spent three could spend three years getting ready for sts-1. we finished in 1975 and almost immediately started the learning process to bring the mod folks up to snuff on what they're going to be faced with. time went on and we started emulating and of course three years turned into six years before we finally did get in the air. during that time, we ran a lot of simulations. i think someone can attest to this. we ran about 500 plus launch simulations over a period of about three years and i think 499 of them -- in the real thing, the real one with like a charm. the stimulating system at jay oc was pretty crude when we started. as a matter of fact, the simulator crashed a lot more than the shuttle did. they could do just about anything. any time -- i don't think she has an audience, but one of the major players in training. she could bring the crew and the control center to their knees anytime she felt like it. usually once every week or so

mr. thompson: thank you very much, mr. speaker. as the previous speaker has indicated, mississippi was hit very hard with tornados. 11 deaths, significant damage, and we received disaster declaration. the one thing i wanted to pay special tribute to is our system of disaster response worked. federal, state and local officials came together, responded, just like the textbook said they should. nowhere have we received any complaints about help not being available. so if there's any good that we can talk about coming from such a disaster is this is a system congress put together for government to respond to its citizens in time of disaster. it worked during this particular disaster in mississippi. with that, mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas seek recognition? ms. jackson lee: i wish to play in the -- to place in the record and recite into the record the i missed votes that today because i was detained in my district on official business. on r

mr. thompson: permission to address the house for one minute and revise and extend. mr. thompson: national slavery and human trafficking month. this is still a concern. e resource center, they have investigated cases. and including 75 cases reported in 2015. human trafficking is one of the fastest growing industries in the united states alone. hese are on the rise including those who are teenagers. and the pennsylvania's fifth congressional district. last year, i supported the justice for victims of trafficking act that was signed into law. this legislation is a.m. aimed to improve services. i will continue to work in the use for eliminating this disturbing behavior. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. >> permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. ros-lehtinen: last week, we were made aware of an extremely security breach that resulted in rm castro regime taking will ile the obama administration that had under its control sensitive hardware, the white house negotiators chose to do

mr. thompson, for five minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. yesterday i was proud to vote in favor of the restoring americans healthcare freedom reconciliation act, which repeals the affordable care act, or the a.c.a. with yesterday's passage of the bill, it marks the first time repeal of the a.c.a. has been sent to president obama's desk. in the past year, several significant problems with this law become ever more clear. we've seen a large number of health care co-ops go under. and one major health care provider, united health care, announced it's pulling out of the a.c.a. exchange. this system is just not sustainable. late last year, the congressional budget office released a report stating that the a.c.a. will lead to a reduction of work hours equivalent to two million jobs over the next decade. the c.b.o. acontributes this reduction to health care subsidies tied to income, raising effective tax rates for americans and creating a people seeking for promotions or new higher paying jobs. excuse me. it also points to higher taxes and penaltie

mr. thompson: i thank my colleague -- i thank my colleague for the time to speak and thank you, mr. chairman, for recognition. regarding this important legislation, which i believe would help relieve the overregulation we have seen in recent years in the coal industry. the coal mining industry has supported countless jobs in pennsylvania's fifth congressional district for generations and continues to do so. in addition to jobs, coal also helps provide millions of americans with affordable and reliable energy. however, overregulation, which has the stream buffer rule has taken a big toll on our region. layoffs have affected miners and companies across the country as these job creators continue to face unprecedented regulatory challenges. reports have indicated that the rewrite of the stream buffer zone rule from the office of surface mining reclamation and enforcement would lead to the elimination of 7,000 mining jobs and cause economic harm in 22 states. with the rewritten regulations proposed, this bill introduces a bit of common sense, mr. chairman. it seeks to make sure that the

mr. thompson and mr.ohen had a few problems they had to deal with, and we thought we could spend about three years getting ready for sts-1. and we finished apollo soyuz in 1975 and almost immediately started the learn progress says to bring the m.o.d. folks up to snuff on what they were going to be faced with time went on the and we started simulating and three years turned into six before we finally got it in the air, but we did get et in the air. during that time we ran an awful lot of simulations. i think something milt probably can attest to this, i think we ran about 500-plus launch simulations over a period of about three years and i think 499 of them we aborted. of course the real one went like a charm. it's kind of interesting. the simulating system at jsc was pretty crude when we started. as a matter of fact, i think the simulator crashed a lot more than the shuttle did. but by the time we finished, they could do just about anything. as a matter of fact, anytime -- i don't think she's in the audi

mr. thompson, for five minutes. thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i rise today in recognition of the 75th anniversary of the dam located in pennsylvania's fifth congressional district in forest county. this vital flood control project is estimated to have prevented more than $570 million in flood damage over the past seven decades. the dam located in forest county which officially 1941. ed on january 9, as a result of the flood control act of 1936 and 1938. the dam itself was located on the creek just over one mile from the allegheny river. it is key to flood protection along the allegheny and upper ohio rivers. mr. speaker, this dam is so important that during the 1972 tropical storm agnes, which caused damage all across the commonwealth of pennsylvania, it is estimated to have prevented more than $60 million in additional damages. today the dam and lake it created serves purpose beyond flood protection. the lake and area around it amount to more than 3,000 acres available for camping, hiking and fishing. it is a hot spot for boating, wate

mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. this week marked the retirement of john guerrero, who has covered politics for the erie times news for more than three decades. john joined the times news in 1981, after graduating from college. his stories have focused on just about anything you can imagine, from local, state and federal politics, education issues, to stories involving court cases and those involving gambling. with background on so many issues, it is common for john to follow up on action here in washington, with questions about how it might impact the area region. mr. speaker, i've long followed his work in the newspaper, but had the chance to truly interact with john in 2013 when he spent several days with congressman mike kelley and myself here on capitol hill. i was glad to talk with him about representing pennsylvania's largest congressional district, about priorities and concerns across the district, often lead to policies discussed here on the house floor. i wish john the best of luck in retirement and congrat
