the same holds true for our nation. our generation will decide if america continues its march towards global energy leadership and perhaps once in a generation opportunity or if it were main content to play only a supporting role on the global energy market place. we can arrange what for decades has been one of america's greatest economic vulnerabilities -- our dependence on energy sources from other continents, particularly from less stable and less friendly nations. and fundamentally alter the geopolitical landscape for decades to come. all while providing a much- needed boost to our domestic economy. this is only achievable and possible if we get energy policy right in this country. today, thanks to the innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit of the natural gas and oil industries, this nation has the potential to shed the yoke of foreign energy dependence. implementing smart policies will help ensure that future americans only know their country as the energy leader. in other words, elections matter. elections have

day two in glacier national park we have a beautiful blue bird day.ing out a pretty easy hike. try several shorter hikes today and try to spot wildlife. today going to applekuney falls a mile up to a waterfall. it does have a 700 will elevation gain so that will put some blood in the legs. but try to spot shorter hikes instead of committing to one big hike for the day like yesterday if you're not planning a long multiday backpack trip in glacier national park, it's a place to get high quality day hikes from the car. after a gradual climb from the parking area the applecuney falls trail didn't waste time in that 700 foot elevation gain as we moved into the forest. after a good huff and puff on the trail i notice a place for a short place. it's a little windy up here. a couple little spur trails off the main. i always recommend taking them. sometimes for a bathroom break but in this case, this. popes out over the creek in these amazing glacier national park scenes. oh my gosh. this place is absolutely magical. summer and fall are the best times to visit

the national security act, of course, also created the national security council, and the -- defense department. the creation of the central intelligence agency really laid the foundations for the modern american intelligence community. the fault of the national security act of 1947 was that it seemed to give the central intelligence agency many responsibilities for coordinating the variety of intelligence entities across the federal government, but not enough authority to do the job. so let me break it down for you just, if i could. the cia, of course, is famous for two missions you're all familiar with. covert action and the recruitment of spies around the world. the security act of '47 also sought to make the cia director give him another mission, which was to manage the community to be the dci and coordinate the growing infrastructure of intelligence agencies that had begun to group around world war ii. as you approached through the cold war years, a variety of task forces and commissions noticed that the underlying ability of the director of central intelligence to coordinate, f

we did talk to the president about infrastructure in our nation. we talked to the president about job creation, about education, about workforce needs. those were some of the key issues that we visit with him about. we also expressed as governors we believe as we've outlined in our talks to you about various issues, that there are solutions coming from the states that we believe can be models for the rest of the nation. that we do believe there needs to be more collaboration, more cooperation between the states and the federal government. and that is why you see the national governors association both last year and this your doing something different that we had never done. that is having a state of the states address to the national media and to some of our key groups here in washington, d.c. to talk about some the challenges that our state's face, the challenges we need washington to address and, frankly, our frustration at times that washington does not address those things. and just saying we need a seat at the table to discuss these ideas, to

in this nation that play by the rules. there are people in this nation that have done everything that we've asked them to do. so it is our obligation in this nation, as its leaders, to find those opportunities for people to live and continue the type life they've had in the american way and i am just here to say that i will continue to fight for the less fortunate because i will not turn my back on any american that wants to play by the rules and have done what we've said in this nation you need to do, the land of the free and the home of the brave, that still should mean something. mr. speaker, i yield back. mr. jeffries: i thank the gentleman for his thoughtful observations and for focusing on the need to re-authorize unemployment benefits for the long-term unemployed across america. it has been a myth that has been put forth and those who seek to undermine this program that individuals who are receiving unemployment assistance who have been unemployed for 27 weeks or more, simply are sitting home looking to collect a ch

united nations. over the years we have proven the value of this great institution. the united nations is a unique platform that help us all rise above human failings, that encourages wise and visionary leadership and that enables us to take advantage of the opportunities provided by a new global landscape. but i am gravely concerned at the immoral and irresponsible actions of too many individuals with influence and responsibility. the conflict i spoke of today are devastating countries in doubt where -- now proud histories and every chance at peace and prosper the city. leaders there must now act on the historical duty to reach this potential for the sake of their people and our world. all of us must find the common purpose to forge global solutions toward common problems. last year the united nations hosted one of the world's youngest heroes, ma la la. she celebrated her birthday here with an unforgettable lee for the rights of girls. we also paid farewell to a hero for all times, nelson mandela, th

that is a key element of nationalism that the nation comes first. so we have that in this country where if there is a war, somebody can't just say i don't want to go to war because it's my religious belief. you have to demonstrate in the process for we are part of religious tradition that has issued all violent tireless, no matter what war it is. the nation has to assure that it has citizens will ultimately support it. so i think that might be one reason for his emphasis on persecution. also, there is nothing that helps define insiders better than outsiders. just as the united states has its own history, or particular episodes like the revolution, even not been except in in which the culture came from britain. many religious communities undoubtedly have certain narratives of persecution in order to help to demonstrate to its members what is to be part of the religion and what defines them being different from others in demonstrate a model of those are persecution. >> host: you said in the beginning and are opening comments, i don't know how you phra
