. >> ms. davis, you're recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair, and thank you all of us for being here today. just the capacity right now of the department of education to work with states, to work with districts in looking at all of these plans, hasn't been addressed much. so i really inquire about the number of vacancies. i mean look at that. 12 out of 15 nominees have not even been put forward or 70% of senior staff is vac want. just thinking about which ones those are. the deputy secretary, there has been no nominee put forward for the assistant secretary for civil rights. we have an acting person that's been quite under fire as you probably know. there's no nominee for the assistant secretary of planning and evaluation and policy development, no nomination for the assistant secretary of special education and rebilitative services. no nominee for the assistant secretary for career, technical and adult education. and we've talked about that in the capacity of districts. as the gao

early on we were looking at you know, could rob cantor's killer be the same killer in teaneck with ms. davis and in palisades park with ms. alliotts. >> reporter: the answer was unclear, at first. but detectives did have leads in the cantor case. a neighbor had reported seeing a stranger near the cantor home shortly before the fire. >> did you hear about the stranger that was in the area? >> yes. >> can you tell us about that? >> yeah. we weren't able to track who the person was and we tried through canvassing to trace, but we never had him coming outside of the house or we never had him >> reporter: according to rob's friends, someone had been stalking him. about a year earlier, they said rob told them he'd gotten some creepy emails, which suggested that he was being watched. this is one of them -- "rob, saw you this morning with this woman on upper west side. how are things with her?" >> very, very strange email addresses, strange names. another one was e-o-r-2-4-7. >> reporter: assistant heads the county's computer crimes unit, says the emails seemed intended to intimidate. >> imagine tha

looking at right now, it appears as though two of the three dogs are indicating that potentially ms. davis got on b.a.r.t. with her little girl. >> officer says the trail led to the ashby b.a.r.t. station. investigators will stay on this case until the child and her mother are found. >>> surveillance video captures a few catching up to a 15-foot barbecue pit and driving off with it. the barbecue was left outside a grocery store in sonoma county. tonight, the store's employee owners are feeling burnt. ktvu's debora villalon live in windsor. they want their grill back. >> reporter: they do, scott. this is a high-stakes case. $7000 barbecue stolen from a grocery store. fortunately, there's video. >> whoever took it, they're going to wish they didn't when i get my hands on them. >> reporter: customers at olivers market can't help but laugh at the thought of someone stealing an 800-pound barbecue. >> how do you steal a barbecue like that? whoever can steal that deserves to have it. >> it was like they had a mission. yes. >> reporter: it happened on sunday night. 11:00 p.m. an hour after the sto

thank you very much. >> thank you ms. davis. mr. mitchell is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. the "wall street journal" noted in this is a go to represent the largest devolution of federal controlled to state in a quarter century. unfortunate in the previous administration. he did not endorse that bipartisan bill. in fact, the previous chair and the chair in the senate submitted a letter to the secretary, 30 pages of concerns and objections. frankly were largely ignored. the minority here wishes to relitigate the discussion regarding the cra and the elimination of the rules that were put forth by the previous administration. let me give some areas of concerns. the 95% you referenced, the final rule on the reference for options. there's a whole series of things that department did that overreached the intent of this congress or the previous congress and this committee. i wasn't at the time but voted in favor of the cra because i was offended by the fact that a bill was put forward by the house and the senate th

ms. davis, you are recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair, and thank you for being with us today. one of the things i have been thinking about sitting here that hasn't been addressed so much is just the capacity right now of the department of education to work with states, to work with districts in looking at all of these plans. you know, so i really inquired about the number of vacancies. when you look at that, i mean 12 out of 15 nominees have not even been put forward. over 70% of senior staff is vacant. speaking about which ones those are, the deputy -- deputy secretary, there's been no nominee, secretary for civil rights. we have an acting person who has been quite under fire as you probably know. there's no nominee for the assistant secretary for elementary and secondary education. no nominee for the assistant secretary for planning, evaluation and policy development. no nomination for the assistant secretary of special education and rehabilitative services. no nominee for

i wanted to associate myself with the comments by my good colleague ms. davis. i want to underscore to all of us went this widows tax is really all about. these are families that buy life insurance, then the service members in the military, that military service member dies and there is a widow. rather than getting the total benefit of the life insurance policy, it is reduced because she is also getting a veterans benefit. now, it is a debate and switch, pierre and simple. the fix web and providing is a small fix. under the widows actual life insurance policy, she should be receiving about $1500 a month. but correct me if i'm wrong but when she is receiving us $250 or $300 a month. so even our fix is inadequate. we should fix it or get a further the life insurance policy because it really is a to say you have a policy but when you need it you can't use the benefit thisse you are getting -- insurance policy really is a fraud because you cannot say you have a benefit if when you go to use it you cannot afford to. so i would like to withdraw the amendment. >> the a

ms. wasserman schultz: and i am opposed to the amendment. mr. chairman, davis bake season a pretty simple concept and -- davis-bacon is a pretty simple concept and a fair one at that. it protects the government and workers in carrying out the policy that is very simple and very straightforward -- paying decent wages on government contracts. the davis-bacon act requires that workers on federally funded construction projects be paid no less than the wages paid in the community for similar work. it requires that every contractor construction of which the federal government is a party in excess of $2,000 contain a provision defining the minimum wages paid to various classes of laborers and .echanics mr. chairman, the house has taken numerous and repeated votes on this issue and on every vote this body has voted to maintain davis-bacon requirements. in fact, most recently during consideration of the f.y. 2018 national defense authorization act, in a bipartisan fashion, the house firmly rejected a similar amendment 242-183. last year we avoided including divisive lan

ms. jackson. i know there was an apology, but ist does not erase what inside. a yield on to the distinguished chair of the women's task force. >> thank you, leader pelosi. susan davis and all my colleagues here who are often in their own right, great leaders at home and in our congress. let me start by saying that, yes the comments yesterday by candace jackson were in outrage, excusing violent behavior. but even more troubling is they reflect a dangerous attitude at the department of education toward victims of sexual assault. college should be a place to ask and expand your mind, not fear for your safety. students should be chasing dreams, not running from sexual predators. today, betsy devos is meeting with a giving a platform to groups who discount victims and protect accused rapists. it is unbelievable. meanwhile, her department of education has issued guidance to weaken title ix and the trump budget proposes cuts. secretary devos, i will repeat something that victims wrote to you yesterday, which is, who are you serving? you are abandoning these women, victims of unspeakable acts forced upon them, like andrea, who you might have read about from my home state o

ms. bass: mr. speaker, i yield two minutes to the gentlelady from san diego, susan davis. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. mrs. davis: thank you very much. i want to recognize my colleagues chris smith and karen bass for spear heading this important bill and really putting tremendous energy into that. mr. speaker, far too often it is our children who fall victim to the horror of human trafficking, and so as you've heard this afternoon, we must do everything that we can to stop this injustice. often it's been said of human trafficking that it's hiding in plain sight. advocates and survivors are always telling me that it's important to punish traffickers, but we also need to focus on prevention. this re-authorization of the frederick douglass trafficking victims protection act strengthens what we need in this holistic approach and includes my bill, the empowering educators to prevent trafficking act. this language of the bill creates a training program -- i think you've heard about that -- that empowers educators to spot the signs of trafficking and in

davis-oliver. i appreciate the opportunity to address you. and i yield back to the gentlelady from wyoming. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from wyoming reserves. the gentlelady from new york. ms. slaughter: does my colleague have any further speakers? ms. cheney: no, we do not. ms. slaughter: ready to close? mr. speaker, the american people may be scratching their heads why with everything going on in the world we are prioritizing bills that put our environment at risk bills that the senate may never take up. the majority is doing the bidding of the administration that has shown a complete disregard for air, water and land. the administration has already proposed a budget that would slash the environmental protection agency by 32%. this would harm not only conservation and climate efforts, but thousands of jobs nationwide. as a micro biologist i know firsthand the importance of science. yet the majority has refused to give science and facts the rightful place in policy debates that we have. from drastically reducing funding for the environmental protection agency and discrediting climate change by attempting to eliminate safeguards for our genetic privacy, the administration
