ms. brown: i yield myself such time as i may consume. i rise in strong support of senate bill 307 and proud to speak in support of the bill that names the federal building located at 217 west king street, martinsburg, west virginia as the w. craig broadwater federal building and courthouse. he grew up in payton city, west virginia and served as both an active district judge in west virginia and assistant ad general for the west virginia national guard. he worked as a public servant for almost 25 years before his untimely death. judge broadwater's public service was a hearing examiner from the west virginia workers compensation fund, two terms as special prosecuting attorney in ohio county, west virginia and circuit judge in west virginia. in 1996, president clinton appointed judge broadwater to become a u.s. district judge in the northern district of west virginia. during his nearly 10 years on the federal bench, judge broadwater was well respected as a smart, fair and hard working member of the judiciary. judge broadwater served in the

waters: just yesterday, the veterans affairs committee had a hearing where -- ms. brown -- ms. brown: they said because of the possible government shutdown the veterans' pension check mace not go out on time. a the same time my republican colleagues want to extend tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires. just last december, we were supposed to vote on extending the bush tax cut for millionaires and billionaires adding $700 billion to the deficit. the republican plan for the fiscal 2011 budget year as well as the new budget plan just released is nothing more than reverse robin hood. taken from the poor and middle class people to give huge tax breaks to the rich. you know, mr. speaker, you can fool some of the people some of the time but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. the american people will wake up. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back the balance of her time. further requests for one-minute speeches? for what purpose does the gentleman from new york rise? >> to address the house for one minute and revis

ms. brown: one to rend. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. ms. brown: thank you, mr. speaker. my name is congresswoman corrine brown and i'm from the great state of florida. the home of clawed pepper. he was the -- claude pepper. he was the champion for senior citizens and the elderly. and he would be so appalled by the billion that the republicans are bringing to the house floor tomorrow. gutting and privatizing medicaid and medicare in order to pay or give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires. that's shocking. that's shocking to me. but republicans are doing it after one hearing. which is unacceptable. you talk about open government, why is it that we have not had hearings where we bring in our stakeholders and talk about how this would affect senior citizens. how can you dare to propose that people who may not even make $6,000 a year have to pay additional $6,000 a year for health care insurance. you know, it's so sad that in the people's house only the big dogs eat. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. for what purp

ms. brown: thank you, mr. speaker. today in the d.a. we had a hearing on how would the shutdown affect the veterans. you know, you can tell something about a country or organization as to how they spend their money. in december when we gave $700 billion tax breaks to the richest people in the world, then we worry two or three months on how to pay for the veterans' pension of the health care, it's unacceptable. it is unacceptable that we continue -- practice what i call reverse robin hood. robbing poor people and giving tax breaks to the american people. unacceptable, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: under the speaker's announced policy of january 5, 2011, the gentleman from texas, mr. poe, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the leader. mr. poe: thank you, mr. speaker. i want to address the third front that the united states is engaged in, and i'm not talking about the war in libya. i'm talking about the war, the border war on our southern front. between the united states and mexico, the war with the narcoterrorist gang

ms. brown: request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlelady from texas is recognized for one minute. ms. johnson: thank you very much, mr. speaker. i stand here this morning very troubled because the republican budget will end medicare and eliminate the guaranteed coverage. this is un-american. it slashes medicaid for seniors in nursing homes, health care for children and americans with disabilities. this is un-american. it increases the cost of college education for close to 10 million middle-class students and their families. it gives away billions in subsidies to tax breaks to big oil. and tax cuts for the wealthy that would allow $1 trillion to the deficit -- that will add $1 trillion to the deficit. it gives tax breaks to corporations that sends jobs overseas. yes, we must cut but we must cut with common sense. we must not gut the future of america. it has to be sensible. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back her time. for wha

brown asked for feedback on whether school chancellor kaya henderson should be confirmed and what he got were mostly no's. many said henderson was too closely tied to her unpopular predecessor, michelle rhee. >> ms. henderson seems to have been the hand picked successor from michelle rhee and from the secretary of education rather than going through a thorough process. our 40,000 kids deserve to make sure they have the best possible person. >> we believe there is someone out there that is more qualified for this position, yes, we do. >> we haven't looked hard enough. >> reporter: one of henderson's council member marion barry. >> i do support kaya henderson. i do support her and so that having been said does not mean we shouldn't ask the tough questions. >> reporter: brown is holding a series of meetings like this one around the city, but some don't believe the input will make much difference. henderson's confirmation they say is probably a done deal. >> although the hearing may feel good, it gives the illusion of the community having input, but it's so much political drama. >> reporter: henderson announced new moves in another drama she is dealing with, allegations of cheating on standardized t
