ms. lee: i thank the the gentlewoman from new york. as a member of the appropriations committee and budget committee i rise in strong opposition to this continuing resolution. this bill kicks the can down the road down the road for the fifth time and shamelessly includes a stand-alone defense spending ll of $659 billion to an out of control pentagon budget. it includes $75 billion for wars that congress has never debated or voted on. and it includes $1 billion in funds to increase troop levels in affle by 3,500 not to mention the billions in waste, fraud and abuse that the taxpayers have already lost by irresponsible pentagon spending. republicans control the house, the senate and the white house. least they could do is keep the government open. we stand once again with no deal on dreamers and no agreement on a long-term spending bill. republicans have no strategy on funding the government. c.r. uld prefer to pass after c.r. after c.r. how long will republicans govern from crisis to crisis. no one can budget like the republicans are go

supervisor yee, if you can -- and ms. lee, if you could stick around if we have questions. so, just for you, supervisor yee, just for clarification on page 11, line nine, you talk about eligibility programmes. subsection c, specifically. it reads -- supporting physical, emotional and cognitive development of children under the age of 6. that is a very, very broad statement. i was wondering if you could expand on what exactly that might -- what that might entail? >> so, typical of a really good early childhood education programme and part of this language is very familiar with people in the field that state what they have desire results and regulations along their programmes. and it includes this language. i was part of the development of the -- what we call at the time these are results of programmes. unlike children when they're older, you can separate easier. theses a pexes for a younger child, you don't do well because of cognitive, meaning mainly cognitive development eventually helps with your academic that. . that's what it means. and being stable emotionally, i learn

ms. jackson lee from texas. yesterday the rules committee received testimony from numerous members, including marino, ms. sponsor. e, and the the legislation was marked up at the judiciary committee last year. mr. speaker, i cannot think of any crime more debase sponsor. than when one person force as fellow human being in sexual favor. through many pieces of legislation the house has considered this year, we have been fighting to rid our communities of sex traffickers and the anguish they leave in their wake. today we have the opportunity to pass an important piece of legislation that will further this fight by ensuring that the -- we hold websites that turn a by aiding sex traffickers accountable. mr. speaker, i'd like to thank the committee's hard work on this legislation, but also more importantly i would like to thank the legislation's author for her tireless efforts in championing this bill which extends both compassion and just tuss to trafficking victims. as a result of her efforts, the legislation we cons

ms. jackson lee from texas sit on our panel with us. no objection. welcome, ms. jackson lee. i have a question for both of you. in any order which you'd like to speak about it. as i mentioned in my opening statements, it's vital that the public have confidence in our alert systems that they receive from their government. and i fear that the erroneous alert that occurred in hawaii may erode that trust and lead some people to opting out of the system. as you continue to review what happened in hawaii, do you have any recommendations now? i know your investigation is in its initial stages, but are there any recommendations you can share with us now after what you've been able to review on what we can do to prevent that from happening again? >> at this point, the bureau and the comission have not announced any specific recommendations. our -- as you say, our investigation is ongoing and the plan is once we've completed that investigation, we may have recommendations to share. >> thank you, congressman. from the fema perspective, we are conducting an after action review of the eve

ms. jackson lee: mr. speaker, although many in my constituency are still recovering from hurricane harvey, and i wear a houston strong pin, and we're working on getting housing rebuilt, seniors back in their homes, i can tell you that throughout my district, as i was there this past week, they spoke in quiet tones about douglas, the high school, and the tragedy in florida. and none of them seemed to agree. and in particular young men, who i will talk about in the congressal black caucus special -- congressional black caucus special order on guns, none of them seemed to agree to arming teachers. all of them had ideas about gun violence and handguns as well as weapons of war. and i believe the young people should be listened to. and we should not leave until we do constructive sensible gun safety legislation and it should be done now. i ask the american people to rise up and speak in tones of nonpartisanship, bipartisanship, to save and secure our children and our teachers. i yield back, mr. speaker. the sp

ms. jackson lee: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. jackson lee: mr. speaker, as we he address women's history month in the month of march, i raise the attention of my colleagues to a set of circumstances that we have seen relating to the administration and its personnel policies. but the real issue is the affirmation of the opposition to domestic violence and abuse. thousands of women and some men lose their lives to domestic abuse and domestic violence. thousands live in silence and absolute fear. children see their mothers killed and some men. and to have the kind of insensitivity to the importance of anyone who has engaged in domestic violence and domestic abuse to be ignored sends a wrong signal to the girls and young women in this country. we must join together in a bipartisan manner to ensure that the violence against women act is re-authorized in march, and we must pronounce that domestic violence and domestic a
