ms. jackson lee: madam speaker, i rise for a series of issues that i think are important. first of all two simple words. thank you. to all of the election officials in all 50 states. the bulk of whom worked unceasing to ensure that the votes of the american people would be answered, counted, and respected. let me also say how important it is in this moment that we recognize the responsibilities of the federal government to raise the debt ceiling not for itself but to ensure the stability and security and protection of the american people. medicare, social security, defense. all of these issues fall under the debt ceiling. not recklessly but rightly. we should do that. and i say to the federal reserve, stop raising the interest rates. you are negatively impacting the consumer who is trying to stand up on their feet. that is important. finally i say, we should pass h.r. 40, the commission to study and develop reparation proposals. what is it about? reconciliation, restoration, recognizing the history of the descendants of enslaved africans and unequal distribution of wealth

ms. jackson lee. the chair recognizes the gentleman from new jersey, mr.ayne for five minutes. >> thank you everybody for the testimony today [inaudible] >> we can hear you. >> okay thank you. just a few weeks ago [inaudible] the san francisco home of speaker pelosi in what appeared to be an assassination attempt. although speaker pelosi wasn't home the intruder violently attacked the speakers 82-year-old husband putting him in the hospital. this attack occurred at a tense time for that nation. extreme rhetoric suggesting violence against public officials. director wray, your agency has also been subjected to such attacks after executing pursue pursuantee to a lawful warrant s we saw with the incident outside in ohio. to the panel, how do you ss the current threats against elected and government officials and how does your agency proactively protect against this violence? >> i will start a fantasy of secretary mayorkas may want to chime in. the phenomenon you are describing has two pieces. first is related to words all sorts ofrds individuals and governmen

if that is why i heard from ms. lee this is a new wife question and questions that should be left between doctors and patients. the government has no role in making such a personal decision. i am the only i am honored to be here. mainly i want to set the record straight on several things i heard. the first is can we talk about ectopic pregnancy's? dr. verma, what is the treatment for ectopic pregnancy? >> the treatment is either a medication or a surgery. >> either way this would be considered an abortion, is that correct? >> and there are distinctions present, but we are absolutely seeing, there are great errors. these abortion bans definitely affect people who affect topic pregnancies. the most common pregnancies are in the tube and treated in those two ways. there are types of ectopic pregnancies in the cervix or c-section scar treated very similarly in the way we do in abortion. we are seeing there are this confusion because politicians who are making these laws do not understand the medicine and science. these laws

ms. shamsi: certainly, senator lee, and may i begin by thanking you for the bipartisan legislation you haveintroduced with respect to congress's reassertion of its power and authority to declare war? i would like to start with that, just because it is so incredibly important, because as we have talked about for 20 years now, over 20 years, successive presidents have grabbed power that belongs solely to congress. as you know, under article one, only congress has the authority to declare war, except in the event of a genuine emergency, in response to an attack, or an imminent emergency where congress does not have the time to act and even then, the president needs to come back and seek authorization for those uses of force to continue. that is what the 1973 war powers resolution is supposed to do. that safeguard against a previous era of use of force violations, but system of checks and balances is broken, senator lee. your legislation, your cosponsored legislation, recognizes that and does some very important things, i think. one is that it rains in presidential authority. to use force. it d

ms what a are you going to do? tell us how you can take on all of these issues. the people have spoken. crime was a major issue. we're all surprised that leed not pull it off because he put crime front and center. how do you deal with all a of that, what are your priorities? >> the reality a, my legislative agenda is the same one i campaigned. i made the campaign about the people and i promised that i would go to d.c. to fight crime, mitigate inflation and lower the cost of energy in this country. so i'm going to go down there and fight to secure more funding for our police. law enforcement needs support right now with the defunding of the nypd and the disbanding of the plain clothes units in new york city's police department, what we created was a crime wave of seismic size so what's going on we need to bring those dollars, reform the plain clothes unit to take illegal guns off the street, to take criminals, dismantle gangs and organized crime. without that it's seeping into s suburbs, happening in the hudson valley and long island. it's crossing into j jersey. it's an epidemic in new york city and we need to fight for that. maria: a big
