ms. moore: ok. well, i am, mr. chair, making the point that this amendment is in order because it deals with the continuing resolution, which will slash the pell grant funding by $845. and the purpose of the continuing resolution is to slash funding that is unnecessary in our budget. and i would argue that this amendment should be made in order because the pell grant is the cornerstone of our -- the chair: again, remind the gentlelady to confine her remarks to the point of order. ms. moore: would the gentleman restate his point. the chair: the gentleman is recognized to restate his point of order. mr. rehberg: the amendment is not in order under section 3- j-3, 112th congress which states it shall not be in order to consider an amendment to a general appropriations bill that proposes a net increase in budget authority in the bill unless considered en bloc with another amendment or amendments proposing an equal or debater decrease in such greater authority pursuant to clause rule 2-f. the amendment proposes a net in

ms. moore: i'm totally psyched about the thing, i thank the director. i wish we had a strike team and mechanisms for everything else going wrong in the city and we would be just kind of looking great. this is fantastic. i do love the layering of technology, i love the ability that we really put effort and support into this group and the results really are what they need to be and it's finally saying enough is enough. it is great that technology is helping us, i mean as in other parts, other issues in the world, technology has opened a whole new ability to communicate and really be on target and able to pursue things which need to be changed. what i would like to ask mr. snyder, the whole group, at what time do you generally -- do general signs, general advertising signs are the same as business signs? because in the city there is a very slow and subtle conversion that advertising signs take over whole storefronts and since the stores are empty and they're advertising for other things, they are a different kind of billboard. for example, what comes to mi

ms. moore: i would like to strike the last word. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized for pi five minutes. . ms. moore: i would ask you to not defund planned parenthood. and i mean that as a double ditandra. i know of what the previous speaker referred, to all those well-meaning people who want to speak about the value of life and not to funding contraception and not wanting to make an abortion which is the law of the land available if people would choose that. i am really touched by the passion of the opposite to want to save black babies. i can tell you i know a lot about having black babies. i've had three of them. and i had my first one when i was 18 years old. at the ripe old age of 18. the chair: members take their conversations off the floor. the gentlewoman may resume. ms. moore: i thank for you that courtesy, madam chair. i had my first baby at the ripe old age of 18, an unplanned pregnancy. and let me tell you, i went into labor, unfortunately, on new year's eve, had not even one dime, phone calls cost a dime at that t

ms. moore: it has nothing to do with abortion. title 10, of course, prohibits recipients to not expend these moneys for abortions. madam chair, i find this c.r. particularly troubling because i know that the overwhelming majority of title 10 patients are very, very poor. in fact, 70% of these patients have incomes at or below the federal poverty level. meaning that they earn less than $10,830 a year. 92% have incomes at or below 250% of the federal poverty level, meaning they have less than $27,075 a year. you know what, we begrudge these patients, temporary assistance to needy families, so that if they would become pregnant and have an unintended pregnancy, we would call them welfare queens and begrudge them welfare benefits, and these patients who are disproportionately poor, women of color, would not be able to receive the economic support they need and with this cruel continuing resolution would not be able to receive the primary care that they deserve and that they need. we talk about the need to have jobs in this tough econo

. >> ms. moore is next. >> thank you.i've seen you several times on the the committees, but i've had low ranking, it's hard to get the opportunity to actually ask you a question. i want to thank you for the last question because that was curious about how you say in your testimony on page four that exit from the current highly accommodative policy at an appropriate time would be very easy, and i think you may have answered my question when you spoke with him. qe1 and qe2 have been very important i think in terms of preventing a financial catastrophe, and qe-2 is supported by a lot of economists, chamber of commerce endorsed it, chairman of manufacturing, and as a matter of fact, the manufacturer if my district, harley davidson, is really grateful for qe-2 in terms of boosting their exports, but you have been accused of everything from creating an environment for invasion with this qe-2 policy, everything from that to causing the riots in egypt, so i can't -- i would like for you, you know, because it's, you know, commodit

commissioner moore: i think the testimony speaks for itself. ms. wood prepared a convincing argument that we do not have to worry about housing or dwelling units being abolished. i am very convinced this is the right thing at the right time, and move to approve. commissioner borden: second. the only thing more scarce than affordable housing in this city, i think, is preschool. i am at the age where all my friends are having kids for the first time. literally, they are registering kids for preschool in utero, which is crazy to think people have to think that far ahead. as a person who has seen friends leave the city, it is depressing to think we cannot better accommodate people here with more preschools, in a residential neighborhood where people can walk with their kids. it cannot be transit first if the services that serve the neighborhood are not in the neighborhood. i think this preschool is a wonderful project. it is meeting a need that is very great. i am very familiar with the rogero concept. it is a phenomenal teaching method for growing kid
