mr. scott: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield one minute to the gentleman from kansas, mr. mike pompeo. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kansas is recognized for one minute. mr. pompeo: indeed last night on a telephone town hall i had a worker from boeing call in. he was very worried about his work in wichita, kansas. he was worried because this administration has taken action to destroy manufacturing and aviation manufacturing here in america. i rise in support of this rule and the underlying legislation because the nlrb has no business telling the boeing company that wants to invest hundreds of millions of its own dollars, not taxpayer dollars, its own dollars creating jobs in south carolina. what's next? what's next? attack on kansas, an attack on aviation workers all across america? we need to stop this -- we need to pass this piece of legislation immediately and ask the president to sign it. it's too important to american workers to allow the nlrb to continue the big government policies of this administrati

mr. andrews: thank you, mr. speaker. myself three minutes. i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. andrews: thank you, mr. speaker. for years the understanding in this country has been if you show up for work every day and work your heart out, and do your best, what you get in return is a good wage, good benefits, and a future that's secure as long as your company's secure. but it seems like that version of the american dream moves another continent, another ocean, another day away each day that goes by. outsourcing is destroying the middle class in the united states of america. and this bill is the outsourcer's bill of rights. it says to an employer, if you want to use as an excuse the collective bargaining and union activities of your employees, and you want to pick up and move to central or south america or asia, here's the way to do it. this bill draws a map of jobs outside -- draws a map as to how to take jobs from inside the united states and move them

thank you mr. chairman. >> senator menendez. >> thank you mr. chairman. first of all i want to thank you for moving forward with this hearing and i want to thank attorney general cordray for accepting a nomination under very difficult circumstances and for his appearance here today. i can just tell you if i had the smile of your son and daughter i would win my election hands down all the time so i'm going to have to learn it because it does not come naturally to me. you to full smiles. however, you know consumer protection and a director of the consumer financial protection bureau are important topics but unfortunately progress has been fleeting. progress that is some holding wall street accountable and protecting consumers. the consumer financial protection bureau officially opened its doors in july. mr. cordray was nominated days before but months before, months before my colleagues on the other side of the aisle said that they would be siding wall street and blocking any nominee. let me repeat that. any nominee from heading the consumer financial protec

mr. speaker. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i'm sure the whole house will wish to join me in paying tribute to those who have fallen in afghanistan since we last met for prime minister's questions. paul watkins from ninth twelfth, corporal mark palin, marine james wright from 4-2 commando, lieutenant daniel clack and sergeant barry weston from kilo company, royal marines. we should also remember james smart from number two mechanical transport squadron who die inside a road traffic accident in italy on the 20th of july while supporting operations in libya. i pay tribute to the outstanding courage and selflessness, they've each given their lives to making our world more safe. this week we also reached the tenth anniversary of the terrible atrocities of september 11th, 2011, so we should remember all those who lost their lives that day and all those who have lost their lives in pursuit of a safer world. in addition to my duties in this house, i shall further such meetings later today. >> mr. ian austin. >> the whole house will ag

thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you very much, governor, and i note that its 6:00 and alaska and 10:00 here and i think you very much for being up this early and for your testimony coming in on a personal note, i very much enjoyed the trip i made to the north slope along with you and the congressman young. it certainly reaffirming what i thought was out there and it showed me if reemphasized to me what you said about the environmental concerns everybody has taken so think you very much for your testimony. >> you're welcome. thank you. >> now we will go to the distinguished panel, the congressional delegation from alaska and we will start with the junior senator since the senior senator is in here senator begich, you are recognized. >> thank you very much, german hastings for the opportunity to testify in front of the committee on an issue that you will find strong support from all the delegation in regards to the opening of anwr and most alaskans. i was born and raised in alaska and this is an issu

mr. cantor: thank you, mr. speaker. on monday the house will meet at noon for morning hour and 2:00 p.m. for legislative business with votes postponed until 6:30 p.m. on tuesday and wednesday the house will meet at 10:00 a.m. for morning hour and noon nor deathive business. on thursday the house will meet at 9:00 a.m. for legislative business, last votes of the week are expected no later than 3:00 p.m. on thursday. on friday no votes are expected

thank you, mr. speaker. the gentleman from california laid down an excellent framework for the potential of the joint select committee on deficit reduction to accomplish their mandate. namely bringing down tax rates by eliminating loopholes in a way that effectively eliminates expenditures in the tax code. whether something is a subsidy or tax credit, it is very much an expenditure. with that, mr. speaker, i yield 2 1/2 minutes to the gentlewoman from texas, ms. jackson lee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman texas ms. jackson lee is recognized for 2 1/2 minutes. ms. jackson lee: i want to join with my colleague, first of all, to wish the president and to work together in a bipartisan manner to put americans back to work, put them to work now and keep them working. i am both supportive of the intelligence authorization bill for a number of reasons, dealing with the issue of investing in new positions and select high priority needs, f.b.i. surveillance, increasing the personnel. i'm concerned ab

mr. shimkus: thank you. thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, this marks the first of what i hope to be many times to address you and my colleagues on an issue that i have been graced with having the responsibility to deal in the public policy arena about and that's the whole issue of nuclear waste. now, when people talk about nuclear waste in this debate about where it is and why it's there, they primarily talk about our nuclear utilities and especially after fukushima daiichi, people understand that when you store high level nuclear waste on sites and if there's a disaster that occurs and if the pools run dry then you might have a melting which might spread radio activity and that's not good for anybody. and that's a good debate to have because we have nuclear waste stored all over this country. but i'm not here really to talk about the private for-profit sector of the nuclear industry today, i'm here to tell another story. another story that really talks about why we have government and why there's still a need for some government ent

mr. woodall: i thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. woodall: to speak to what's inexcusable here. i hate that's where we have to end up. i hate that's where we have to end up. the truth of the matter is what we have down here today is the relit gation of something that we already litigated in july and august and that is this bill funds just until november 18 at the level that we as a body agreed to. you may not like it. i may not like it, but we agreed to it. a level that's 1043,1,-- $1,043,000,000,000. this continuing resolution does not relitigate that decision. we come from different places. i'd probably say that's too high. you may say it's too low. but this is simply a resolution that implements the will of this house. mr. levin: will the gentleman yield? mr. woodall: i'd be happy to yield to my friend. mr. levin: there is nothing in that decision, nothing in that action that paid for a continuing resolution that will take away jobs

mr. reid: thank you, mr. president.f all, we have a piece of legislation at the desk that takes care of all the issues. it takes care of funding -- it takes care of the c.r. until after october 1. it also takes care of fema for the forseeable future. that's a nice piece of legislation. it's not our number. it's the house number. so i ask unanimous consent the reid motion to concur on the house amendment to the senate amendment h.r. 2608 with amendment 656 be agreed to, the motion to reconsider be considered made and laid on the table with no intervening action or debate, and any statements relating to this bill be placed in the record at the appropriate place as if read. in fact, what we're asking here is that the c.r. with the fema language be passed. the presiding officer: is there objection? mr. mcconnell: mr. president, we'll have that vote on monday. i object. the presiding officer: socks lettered. mr. reid: i renew my request. the vote is monday, is that right? i would tell everyone, mr. president, as my friend sa

mr. goodman. did you look forward to any financial transactions as a consequence of the appeal made by mr. goodman? >> i don't recall any financial transactions that were being investigated. >> that's what i want -- >> but if, if we could go back to any notes that were taken at the time or mr. chapman could elaborate or mr. cloke could elaborate but what specifically, which particular invoices mr. goodman is referring to i think we can clarify that. if that was asked of me it would have been done and if not by me personally it would have been done by the managing editor's office. >> thank you. mr. , mr. crone, i am trying to clear up in my own mind. you're referring to the neville document you are suggesting four other people would have been sued potentially if that had been made public. have any of those people sued. >> not if that was made public. you have a class of four perhaps, four in the same circumstances, in other words they were victims of the mulcaire's e-mails. and four of them doesn't take le

mr. jack straw? >> thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, and also the remarks of my friend in praising the leadership which the prime minister, foreign secretary, other ministers have shown during the whole of this period, there is no doubt that this was very decisive in securing international cooperation and in following it through. only obligations that have been made overnight, as foreign secretary at the time i say two things. first as he knows it was the consistent policy of the previous government as his, wholly to be opposed to any accomplicety in torture or ill treatment or unlawful rendition. but second to say, given the serious nature of these allegations it is entirely right that they should be examined in every detail by the inquiry under gibson. >> can i thank him for what he sbats myself and the foreign secretary and others. can i say on the issue that he raises, i think it's right that sabita gibson can look at this whole area but i think it is important that nobody rushes to judgment. we have to remember in 2003, tw

thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, governor. mr. kleinbard. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and distinguish numbers for inviting me to testify. the u.s. today is an extraordinarily low taxed country by world's norms. the fourth lowest in the oecd. and given by our own standards we're collecting historically low levels of tax, below 50% of gdp for the last three years. at the same time, we are spending outliers into large respects. spending, tax revenues that we require, i need to say one quick word about them. first, we spend much more on health care per capita than does any other country. and our per capita government share of this thing is the second highest in the world. if the u.s. were to spend a per capita what no way does on health care, our aggregate health care is being would immediately declined by $800 billion a year. second, the u.s. spends as much on its military as to the next 14 countries combined. 42% of the entire world military expenditures. our current revenue base cannot be reconciled with our outsized spending on health care and defense. moreov

mr. mann. >> thank you, mr. chairman for this distinguished panel and not just her presentation here today, but i would actually say at the zenith of your career, committed to these issues can each of you has taken on a remarkable role in this. and i appreciate the fact you have looked back and taken the time to analyze what hasn't been done on the recommendations who previously made. i want to focus a question with respect to that. mr. hamilton, i had the opportunity to go back and revisit a site in which a terrorist incident was averted and related to the situation in which there is a cartridge that was attempted to detonate on an air carrier plane, a ups plane. and the after action review that i got a chance to participate in was a case study you made about the lack of somebody really being in control from the simple way for people who are trying to participate and help you are getting different demands from different agencies that the same time, same information. how do you get it right in that critical momen

. >> thank you, mr. speaker. this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others and in addition to my duties in this house i shall have further such meetings later today. >> thank you, mr. speaker. grieving families have been waiting many months or many years to wait for inquests ended concluded. they suffered enough. will the prime minister stop the messing about now and stop the justice sector to sack the incompetent coroner. >> i will like at the particular case as the honorable gentlemen has talk about. we have been put money and resources to try to make them more resourceful but i'll look into the individual case that he talks about. >> would the prime minister give us an update on his recent stroift russia especially in relation to the tragic murder of a man whose widow lives in my constituency. would you be able to meet with her to give her an update. >> well, my right honorable widow speak with him. the british government has not changed its view one jot about how wrong it was for that murd

mr. womack: thank you, mr. speaker, and i thank the distinguished chairman of the appropriations committee for the time. i know the hour is late, it's been a long day, soon we will complete action on this temporary spending measure for 2012. obviously it is work that has to be done. as my friend the distinguished rules committee chairman appropriately quoted earlier this evening, the process has been ugly, it has been messy, but it works. the good news is that most of america has gone to bed and not witness to the bickering and rancor he wased in this chamber. -- witnessed in this chamber. i can only hope when they wake up tomorrow we will have done the people's work, funding government beyond october 1, giving necessary funding to the victims of national disasters and doing it in such a way that promotes the kind of fiscal responsibility long demanded by the people of america. it will be sad, indeed tragic, if when the sun comes up tomorrow this congress instead of bringing certainty and relief to those strugg

that's the agenda this government is going to follow. >> thank you very much, mr. speaker. i'm sure my right honorable friend would have noted the very sound advice recently that the government should operate effectively there should be unity at the top. with this in mind could you assure the house and the country that he should not rewrite a budget 14 hours before it's due? >> i can confirm that these discussions these days take place in a proper way. and they take place between the two partners in the coalition and it's not a battle between numbers 10 and 11 and i have also to say that when i have a meeting with the chancellor of exchequer it's nothing like going to the dentist and there's no reason to have anesthetic. >> i'm sure all parties in the house have convicted fraudster michael brown has been living under the pseudonym in the republic of dominica. unfortunately, mr. speaker, we have no treaty with that country. can the prime minister tell the house what steps this government is taking to bring mr. bound back to face justice? >> well, we like to extend the countri

mr. mica: thank you. mr. speaker, we're here today to extend once again authorization for the federal aviation administration and for our nation's transportation highway transit programs. mr. speaker, this unfortunately is -- these are extensions that have been piled upon extensions for both of these programs. and while the legislation before us is important and it signifies a bipartisan, bicameral agreement to move forward, it must not be just a temporary band-aid for our important aviation, highway, rail and safety programs and for future job creation for our nation. to build our nation's infrastructure and to really put people to work we need long-term re-authorizations for these programs. unfortunately this bill is the 22nd f.a.a. extension and the eighth surface transportation extension. congress unfortunately has delayed passing a long-term f.a.a. re-authorization for over four years. and the surface transportation bill has lagged for some two years. this action today represents a last chance to roll up

chairman, and thank you, mr. barthold, for your testimony yesterday on economic models for analyzing tax reform. figure one of the handout that you gave us shows the federal recreates by sorts, and it shows more than 47% of those recreates to the federal government come from individuals. only just over 8% come from corporations or what we call sea corporations. >> that's correct, sir. >> corporate income. in figure iv in your projection of federal revenues to come that goes through 2021, it shows receipts from corporations going flat, but yet revenues from individuals show to be increasing over time. is that a fair statement of the two charts? >> for the most part -- >> i see an outline with the individuals -- >> it's a matter of scale. see the green line, the corporate tax does increase as expensing -- it's currently, you know, slightly low uered by the fact there's bonus depreciation followed by expenses, but yes. >> the point is the individuals go up at a faster rate, projections to the federal government is go

mr. pompeo: thank you, mr. chair. i thank you, mr. speaker. i just wanted to talk about how our president has systematically and relentlessly attacked the general aviation industry. you know, since one of the few last great manufacturing gems left in america. it creates 1.2 million jobs. the gentleman before me was speaking about jobs. 1.2 million jobs in america and $150 billion worth of income and tremendous amount of exports. this industry is enormously important to my district, but not just my district, the air capital of the world, but all across the country. these are good jobs. these are middle-class jobs. there are jobs for machinists and weldists and purchasing people who make some of the finest airplanes in the world. but instead of supporting the general aviation industry and welcoming those jobs, the president has attacked it. at the very least he could just leave it alone, but this is part of his larger class warfare effort. he demonizes general aviation users. he calls them corporate fat cat jet owners at every turn. but it's not

you know, mr. monk, you and harold have a lot in common.so. the fact that i despise him would always come between us. (fan) harold, harold! [yelling and cheering] fly! frisco fly! i love you! harold! mr. fly! that's not him. his room is up there. you mean you've met him? what's he like? i've seen his file. he wet his bed till he was 34. and he has to be hypnotized to get his hair cut. (man) excuse me. you were up there? yeah, is he okay? 'cause we heard he broke, like, seven ribs. yeah. what he broke was at least seven city ordinances. the cops won't press charges. they wouldn't dare. he's a real-life hero. he's a hero. he is not a hero! what is wrong with you people? i mean, he fell, right? a daredevil basically has one job-- not falling. i mean, i could fall. i bet i could fall 100 stories if i tried. why don't you, man? in fact, i'd be glad to help. whoa, whoa, whoa. what are you doing? now, don't hurt him. hey, ask yourself, what would harold do? yeah, i hate to tell you this. i've known harold krenshaw for 3 1/2 years, and he is a lot

mr. johnson: thank you, mr. speaker. you know, last year illegal immigrants built 4.2 billion dollars from u.s. taxpayers due to a loophole with the refundable child tax credit. according to a new report, this rampant abuse has cost american taxpayers billions. that's just wrong. it's time to close this loophole. that's why i reintroduced really a commonsense legislation, h.r. 1956 that stops the child tax credit sham. the bill requires tax filers to provide their social security number to receive that benefit. with the dire need to cut government spending, i hope this simple fix gets a serious look as a way to stamp out waste, fraud and abuse. if you want to stop illegal immigrants from duping taxpayers billions of dollars every year by fraudulently claiming this credit, call the white house at 202-456-1414. tell them to pass this bill right now. tell them that h.r. 1956 should be a top priority. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back his time. for what purpose does the gentleman from georgia ri

mr. heck: thank you, mr. speaker. we have all have our own stories, personal stories on how 9/11 affected us. where we were, what we were doing. for my generation, i'm sure the day will go down in history as our day of infamy. my perspective is as a first responder on that day. and someone who grew up in new york. i was working for the department of defense at the time leading a counterterrorism medical response organization, and my partner, paramedic jason kapp, was conducting some training with the u.s. park police over at their aviation facility in anacostia, when they saw a low-flying plane and heard the loud explosion. jason quickly jumped on a u.s. park police helicopter and was one of the first first responders to arrive at the pentagon and provide aid. i was traveling and in st. louis when i turned on the tv that morning and saw the first tower in flames and was watching as the second tower was struck by another aircraft. i knew that i needed to get back to my office in bethesda as quickly as possible. a tsk ma

thank you, mr. chairman. >> senator bennett. >> thank you, mr. chairman. again i really want to thank you for holding this hearing. this is an issue that i have been working on ever since i got here now i know why. the testimony i think has been excellent today. i'm familiar with the work everybody here has done. i find remarkable the degree of consensus around a lot of the issues that we face. and i think it reflects how big the gap is between a statute written in 1938 and the world we are living in today. the changes that are accelerating because of the shrinking global economy that we face. and this lack of -- or lack of a regulatory regime that reflects reality is bad for our consumers, and it's bad for our business. and i think that's why we need to be urgent in fixing it. and it's been remarkable to read some of the polling data. the mandatory recall suggestion -- first of all everybody thinks the f.d.a. already has that. they don't. 94% of the american people support it. and they believe that when they walk into their grocery store, their pharmacy, t

mr. blumenauer: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, tonight is a very historic joint session of congress. indode, it is unique in the history of our nation. not because it was the first time a president's request had been refused by the speaker. no. or that the president's speech is in and of itself is going to be extraordinary, although we all hope that it is. it is historic because there will be no young house pages in attendance when the president takes the podium behind me. no sea of young men and women in blue blazers with bright faces intent on shaking the president's hand and drinking in the ceremony and significance of a joint session of congress. this is sad on so many levels, especially as a symbol of why congress is held in such low esteem. many here understand the cost of a program, but fail to understand its value. dedicated staff were dismissed without notice in a decision that was announced via press release without a chance for the people who care passionately about the program to argue for its future or help p

an indication that from what you told mr. murdoch in that meeting he must have been aware wrongdoing extended beyond clive goodman. you are saying that is not the case. >> that is what he said before. i thought you were asking me whether during that meeting it was made known to him. >> and was it? he was made aware? >> as i said, of the document. >> clive goodman is saying he wasn't made aware of the wrongdoing on clive goodman. >> that is what i was saying. >> is that what you said to him? >> a reflection which i said -- told him about the document and the effect of that document clearly is beyond clive goodman. >> there is an important connection here. in that meeting in the full significance of that document, what it meant. >> the document clearly suggests news of the world -- [talking over each other] >> i can't remember. it is three years ago. >> are funded difficult because the ambiguity and something that should be incredibly clear.

mr. shimkus: thank you, mr. speaker. and i do apologize for my friend from california for coming late and kind of disrupting, you know, what was planned to be a closing. but this is an important debate and my colleague from california and i have crossed sabres many times on these issues. and i don't question his commitment to the environment and the regs and rules and the like, but as he knows, i'm from southern illinois. i'm from an area that was devastated in the jobs issue and during the 1992 clean air act. and i'm from an area of the country that still is not being all it can be based upon the excessive rules and regulations that come out of washington, d.c. so the train act is really a first start to help us ask a simple question. shouldn't we as an interagency process, shouldn't we at least ask the basic question of what is this going to do on the effect on jobs? and what is it going to do on the effect of our competitiveness worldwide? so it's really a basic debate. it's a good one to have. i applaud the chairman f

chairman, and thank you, mr. , for your testimony yesterday on economic models for analyzing tax reform. figure one of the handout that you gave us shows the federal recreates by sorts, and it shows more than 47% of those recreates to the federal government come from individuals. only just over 8% come from corporations or what we call sea corporations. >> that's correct, sir. >> corporate income. in figure iv in your projection of federal revenues to come that goes through 2021, it shows receipts from corporations going flat, but yet revenues from individuals show to be increasing over time. is that a fair statement of the two charts? >> for the most part -- >> i see an outline with the individuals -- >> it's a matter of scale. see the green line, the corporate tax does increase as expensing -- it's currently, you know, slightly low uered by the fact there's bonus depreciation followed by expenses, but yes. >> the point is the individuals go up at a faster rate, projections to the federal government is going up g

i thank you, mr. speaker and i thank you, mr. deutch. mr. deutch: equally important is what the administration has been doing leading up to that speech today in a way that the u.n. ambassador has continued to press our allies in a way that this administration has been clear throughout that if this movement goes forward, if the palestinians correspondent to go to the security council, that the united states will veto that resolution because it is not a way to achieve peace. i appreciate your sharing those thoughts with us. it is a great privilege for me now to turn over the floor and yield as much time as my friend will consume and perhaps we could have a bit of an exchange to one of the greatest defenders of the state of israel, one of the most outspoken members of this body when it comes to standing up for the safety and security for the state of israel and someone who has remained engaged in this issue, even traveling to new york before coming back to washington to speak directly to those who will be making decisions, a good friend and gre

thank you, mr. chairman, i appreciate that. i want to thank you for coming before the committee and helping us. like i said before, this is one team, one fight, ande're all trying to do the right thing here. we had an opportunity, myself, i believe the chairman, and several of our staffers here. mr. alexander was there, mr. lindsey was there, but we went into kandahar and went down that route 4 that leads from karachi, goes up throughqweta, and then into afghanistan. the major sea port there is in pakistan, and then these trucks leave, and the pakistani trucking outfits take over at a place that we went into. that's controlled by a fellow by the name who is now general razik. now, they had, you know, they had threatened if we went in there to do oversight on the trucking operation that they would shut the border down, and there's thousands of trucks going through there, you know, in the course of a day, and so when we, on behalf of mr. tierney at the time who was the chairman, they shut it down just as they threatened. you know,

thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you franken. senator bennet. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and again -- excuse me, i really want to thank you for holding this hearing. this is an issue that i've been working on ever since i got here. and now i know why. the testimony i think has been excellent today and i'm familiar with the work that everybody here has done. and i find remarkable the degree of consensus around a lot of the issues that we face and i think that reflects how big the gap is between a statute that was written in 1938 and the world as we're living in it today, the changes that are accelerating because of the shrinking global economy that we face, and this lack of -- an update -- or our lack of a regulatory regime that reflects reality is bad for our consumers and it's bad for our business, and i think that's why we need to be urgent in fixing it. and it's been remarkable to read some of the polling data around. there's some in the mandatory recall suggestion -- first of all the f all. 90% of the american people support it and they believe that when they
