. >> one question i want to go back to the point of ms. ryan how do we determine with any consistency who the second tier so-called second tier employees that are subject to this filing who determines that? >> so jack briefly alluded to this i'm sorry director sincroy so every two years every even number of years i work with the choifks and we send anti nos to the department each department head or designee asking him to add and inducting and amend their section of the conflict of interest that designates it is up to each time difficult head there's a legal section and they don't need to to be the final person but someone in the process but necessarily it is somewhat of a somewhat of a gray standard who should or shouldn't file a form 7 hundred we felt my office and the clerk's office the department is the best place not to look at each departmental regulation who should be and not it is the departmental heads call. >> yet from what i heard there are questionable individuals or job titles i mean, we don't need interims to be filing i question t

ryan and ms. murray were able to get a deal that led to all the bills being passed. that was the first time since 1987 all the bills had passed together. so i think it can be done again that we can get to a place where there can be agreement. >> hunt: got to do it pretty soon though. >> we'll need to do it. october 1, obviously, as we know is an very important dead whrn in terms of funding the government for the next year. >> hunt: a.c.a., bill frist physician, former republican majority leader, says the president has to do what he failed to do which is bring parties together to fix parts of the law. are you going to do that? and what do you need to fix? >> so i think today the president is in tennessee and that is a big part of the conversation. he's there because tennessee is a state where we have seen affordability, quality move together, we've seen it move in a bipartisan way. we've seen it move with the private and public sector working together, and he's been in tennessee to reflect that, i think that's where we need to go as a nation and to build on the progre

your colleague but in 2012, you helped prepare paul ryan for the debates, the debate he had with vice president joe biden. how did you go about that? >> ms. stefanik: that was one of my most challenging jobs i've had. it was a real privilege to work with someone like paul. no one knows more about the budget, for example, than paul ryan. and as a staffer what was interesting to me is that president romney's team -- not president romney, then governor romney, the presidential campaign he had gone through many debates. paul's debate, there's only one vice presidential debate historically, he hasn't had a debate since the first congressional race. so i worked with the romney campaign to make sure that paul had the preparation he needed but what was interesting is it was very unlike the way they prepared governor romney just in terms of the briefing materials and it was a lot of time spent with paul. it was eight full mock debates that we would work for the stand-in, for vice president joe biden, played by ted olson. we would prep him and have specific questions and sort of scenarios and play them out. but paul was very hands on. you know, he

ms. lerner, i wanted to thank you for mentioning ryan hunnell in your statement. people like ryan truly make a difference and in particular, he helped turn around what was happening at the v.a. in wisconsin. after considering the testimony that witnesses have given and i apologize that i was quite tardy in getting here, but i just have a few questions that i think get to the heart of some of the problems at the v.a. i want to talk about the culture that i have just seen that exists against whistleblowers. ms. lerner, you said that no other federal agency has taken such a proactive approach to training managers on whistleblower protections, yet complaints about reprisals are up. in fact, your statement reads that the osc is on track to receive more than 3800 prohibitive personal practice complaints in this year and that more than 1300 are approximately 35% of those will be filed by v.a. employees. you also make this point. v.a. now surpasses dod in the total number of cases filed with osc despite the fact that dod has twice the number of civilian personnel. i know

ryan, the gentleman from washington mr. mcdermott, the gentleman from florida, mr. miller, and the gentlewoman from florida, mr. -- ms. brown. the gentleman from pennsylvania. mr. shuster: this is a three-month clean extension to the surface transportation legislation. it's the right thing to do. it gift the transportation and infrastructure committee and the ways and means committee the time to work out a long-term solution to the surface transportation bill which we need to pass for the health of this country. and importantly, it gives the house the do its constitutional duty to be heard on important legislation that's important to all 50 states and all 435 congressional districts. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from oregon is recognized. mr. defazio: mr. speaker, i would direct anyone interested in this legislation to my remarks on the five-month bill and with that i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from oregon yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from pe

ryan: regular order. i'd like to yield two minutes to the distinguished gentlelady from kansas, a member of the ways and means committee, ms. jenkins. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady is recognized. ms. jenkins: thank you. i thank the gentleman for yielding and thank him for his leadership on this very important issue. i rise today in support of h.r. 3038 with the prospect of the highway trust fund dollars and authority expiring in just over two weeks this is a critical step to give our states the certainty they need to continue work on important infrastructure projects back home this bill gives the house and senate time to work together toward a long-term highway package by the end of the year. it's also important to note that this bill includes provisions i pushed for to help many small businesses by establishing a chronological set of due dates for them to pay their packses. the current law fails to do this which causes small business and their owners unnecessary grief, time and money. i worked during the past two congresses on legislation to fix this problem and i'm pleased that the house is acting today to take
