what i find more vexing is not that the house intelligence ,ommittee, mr. nunez, mr. gowdy are making so much about this episode. not about thea concert they are stating which is protecting americans from abusive surveillance policies. if it was, we would be talking about reforming the fisa process, holding the government to a higher standard before it can obtain one of these warrants. of course, this is the very house intelligence committee that voted last year to reauthorize one of the other parts of fisa, with the republicans almost entirely endorsing that reauthorization. my concern is that if there is really a problem here, let's talk about the problem, as opposed to turn this into some huge partisan, political scandal that is distracting from the mother investigation, which is mr. gary himself suggested yesterday, should not be affected at all by what is in the nunes memo. comey goes on twitter and says that the release of this information, and trusthe words destroyed with the intelligence committee, damage the relationship with -- would you agree that those thi

the republican leaders on the ommittee said no. what do you think will change that this time? >> now they have theo public answer to, and the public sentiment right now i believe is outrage. outrage that they would trample all over rule of law, and that they're going to want to see, as i sai the evidence at corrects the record. >> president trump was asked today, what is his reaction to d this, whe try to fire deputy attorney general rod rosenstein? and he said, you figure that one out. what do you think that means? >> prewndent trump has s a willingness clear out of his way anyone who has been a part of this investigation. you thin atividuals who no longer doj or fbi from sally yates james yocomey, and now, of cour, andy mccabe retiring this week or being forced out he has an enemy's list, and he, one by one, is removingom them this investigation. we must do all we can in congress to protect bobmueller. there's legislation from republicans and democrats to do that. and if this is not an alarm for us to do that when we get back, i don't know wh >> do you think he would fire ro

turns out our standard of care was higher than the actual intel ommittee."nowden weighing in on the fact that the intelligence committee sent that classified document to the white house where the president declassified it. dan is on the line on the democratic line. what are your thoughts? caller: i'm sorry, i wasn't really listening. just give me what -- host: what's your thought about the release of the memo yesterday, dan? caller: oh. the release of the memo. i really don't think that that was very well prepared. i think, again, it's more just trying to put a wrench in the machine of what's going on and trying to find out what the actual truth is. i mean, without all the spin and without all that stuff, i think we need to look at the facts. i think we don't have options to the facts because of all the political nature, and again, all the propaganda that's going around. i appreciate your program because that's where i can see most things that are trying to be as unbiased as possible. and that's my feeling about that. host: ok. in "the washington post" repor

simpson, to preside over the ommittee of the whole. the chair: the house is in commolet house on the state of the union for the consideration of h.r. 620. which the clerk will report by title. the clerk: a bill to amend the americans with disabilities act of 1990 to promote compliance through education, to clarify the requirements for demand letters, to provide for a notice and cure period before the commencement of a private civil action, and for other purposes. the chair: pursuant to the rule, the bill is considered as read the first time general debate shall not exceed one hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority member of the committee on the judiciary. the gentleman from virginia, mr. goodlatte, and the gentleman from new york, mr. nadlerks each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from virginia. mr. goodlatte: thank you, mr. chairman. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. goodlatte: private title 3 of the americans with disabiliti

i rise in support of this resolution which combines two bills from the house financial services ommittee, h.r. 460 and h.r. 4296, legislation to undercut operational risk capital requirements under a completely closed process. these are the 66 and 67th closed this -- of this congress, mr. speaker. and i am deeply concerned with the republican leadership's total lack of consideration for regular order. for all intents and purposes, regular order is dead in this congress. we consider one closed rule after another after another after another. and republicans routinely rush bills to the floor without even holding hearings on the underlying legislation to help members bert understand the impacts of these bills and benefit from expert witnesses. what is especially shameful about the process today, mr. speaker, is the fact that there were amendments submitted, but republicans decided to self-execute these nongermane amendments with no debate or discussion on the house floor. to shut down the ability of members to offer additional amendments. this is just bad legislating plain and simple. and i

i want to go outside of this .ommittee's jurisdiction you have a lot of opportunities to improve servicesnd our tribal communities. of my constituents in south dakota are served by this agency, and they are getting a third world quality health care. in fact, people are dying because this agency is such a disaster. babies are being born on the floor, surgical instruments cared by hand, health providers on drugs. administrators are not doing their jobs. several of these facilities have been under review, and facilities closed by cms. we have not gotten any better. what happened was the direct service facilities in south forta that have been cited , the loss came after cms and ihs partnered together to provide more quality tools and access to the hospital engagement network. dakota andd in south in the great plains region, that tribes and neighboring nebraska have been set up and are which he -- are waiting for ihs to fix their hospitals. they have started to take over their hospitals. my tribes are too poor to do that. they do not have the resources to do that. it is an emergency situation.

we on the ways and means ommittee are fortunate that we , in our midst, get to work daily with two iconic american heroes, john lewis of georgia and sam johnson of texas. it has been my high honor to serve as his ranking member with this great american hero and dedicated public servant. we all know that mr. johnson is indicating that he will not be seeking election again. that is a great loss to the congress and a great homecoming for people in plano, texas, and his family who richly deserved this great american hero here. he demonstrates that heroism daily in the committee by his compassion and concern for his fellow americans. much as he defended them in his service to the military, he defends them daily here in the united states congress. as chairman brady pointed out, there is a great need within the payee system to address a number of the concerns that the hearings that mr. johnson conducted revealed many of the inadequacyies that existed. -- inadequacies that existed. there are currently eight million social security beneficiaries who have a payee to help manage their benefits. near

host: ok, let's take a look at the reaction from the ranking intelligence house .ommittee, adam schiff tweets "after ignoring urging of fbi and doj not to release memo because it omits facts, potus now expresses concerns over sharing precisely those facts with public and six to send it back to the same majority that produce the flawed with."emo to begin reaction from ranking member adam schiff to the president of the memo. we are getting your thoughts on that now. again, republicans can call (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. reaction from another democrat says the president's decision would be obstruction of justice. senator richard blumenthal, saysrat of connecticut, the president's declining of -- senatorthe richard blumenthal accused president trump of obstructing justice by declined to release the democratic response to the gop surveillance memo. host: on our independent line from scottsdale, arizona, jack, what do you think? caller: thank you for taking my call. i would like to point out i am only going to reveal tax, and you probably won't g
