ms. brown said she spent several hours getting the birds out of the house.ieves they'll move on soon. >>> and equal access to baby changing stations. california laws are changing a law that will require them in members and women's restaurants. and they say it's needed to -- new construction or renovations that exceed $10,000. if passed, it would take effect in the year 2017. thank you for making us your choice for news. we're always here for you on the web and you can follow us on facebook and twitter. our coverage continues with 10 o'clock news tonight. as we just showed you in this newscast, there have been a couple of arrests in san francisco as a result of may day demonstrations and protests. we'll have a complete wrap up on may day on the 10 o'clock news. tmz is up next right here on tv236. >> today on "tmz" -- >> donald sterling, he has enormous balls. went to a restaurant in beverley hills that is the hub for the entertainment industry. >> did you apologize to the players and staff? >> the funny thing is that he went out with two members of the minori

ms. brown: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today, i am terribly, terribly saddened by the news of the passing of my friend and former colleague, congressman james oberstar. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family, his children and grandchildren. mr. oberstar was a true transportation guru. there was no one in washington and most likely in the entire world who knew more about transportation than chairman oberstar. and he could tell you about it in several different languages. but for 36 years congressman oberstar served the people of minnesota's eighth. i traveled on many could he dells with mr. oberstar, -- codells with mr. oberstar, including a trip to haiti, where he taught english early in his career. i remember being so impressed, not just by the amount of knowledge he had about haiti, its history, politics and infrastructure, but that he spoke french as well as haitian. in closing, i think of paul from the bible. mr. oberstar has for a good fight, he has run the race, he finishes first. he's done a great job.

ms. brown: thank you. the water resource development act conference report is a perfect example of how government is supposed to work. want to thank senator boxer and bitter and congressman shuster and gibbs, particularly rahall and bishop for their commitment to produce a competitive and bipartisan bill supported by all of the stakeholders. i also want to thank president obama for his leadership in improving and expediting the process for completing projects for the corps of engineers, and encouraging congress to complete the wrrda conference. i hope this bipartisanship continues as we re-authorize surface transportation programs. this legislation includes a lot of positive provisions that is going to help improve, expand, and accelerate corps and engineering projects. these projects in turn will improve the safety of the american public, generate billions of dollars in economic activity, create hundreds and thousands of good-paying jobs, and benefit the nation's economy as a whole. we have a

. >> ms. brown you are recognized. >> i have been on this committee for 22 years. first of all, before i began, i am going to put in the record a letter that i am sending to the governor of the state of florida. he is grand standing indicating that he is suing the va for the fact that he is sending people to the various va facilities around the state of florida and we wants to take a look at the records. you know this is the most grand stand thing i have seen since i have been in congress. first of all, the state has nothing to do with the va. we have four million people that need medical expansion of health care that is we are sending back and they are going to die because they are not getting the quality health care we need. can you tell me about the lawsuit and whether or not the governor has sent people, governor rick scott, to the various va facilities throughout florida? i have never heard about that and i am concern it hasn't happened in the history of the united states. >> congresswoman brown, i have not heard of anything like before these instances and i w

ms. brown: i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentlewoman from ohio seek recognition? the gentlewoman is recognized. ms. kaptur: mr. speaker, i rise today to congratulate the people of ukraine on conducting free and fair elections that the world watched closely. as a beloved friend of mine from ukraine wrote me, these elections were amazing. people were standing in long lines with the purpose to vote and we did it. we do hope that we will start to live in a new way. ukrainians deserve much better in life and in leaders. thank you, america. with a nearly 60% turnout and despite the fearful invasion of russia, of ukraine's eastern provinces, the election proceeded on schedule and without major disruption. this is a living testament to the future and the hopes the ukrainian people invested in their new government. the people of our region send heartfelt congratulations to the incoming ukrainian president, a successful businessman in his own nation,

ms. brown lee: thank you, ma -- ms. brownlee: thank you, madam chair. i rise to offer an amendment to h.r. 4660 which would increase funding for veteran treatment courts. our nation's heros are returning home from over a decade of war with the invisible wounds that come with multiple deployments and military service to our nation. i am concerned that the effects of post-traumatic stress and t.b.i. have led to a rise in substance abuse among our veterans which in turn too often leads to criminal activity. this has led to an increase in veterans being incarcerated by our justice system without addressing the mental health counseling they need after their service to our country. my simple amendment will increase funds for veterans' treatment courts by $1 million. treatment courts are designed to address fundamental problems with our troubled veterans who have succumbed to substance abuse and have gotten in trouble with the law. these courts are designed to provide mental health cunling that focuses on -- counseling that focuses on rehabilitation and sobrie
