and the gentleman from oregon. the gentleman from oregon has one minute remaining. mr. defazio: has what? one minute. well, i didn't understand that. look, a federal agency revived a journal that had been extinct for 23 years, it's an internal document. they took phony science and published it in that and then they based a delisting decision on it. if they based a listing decision on it, you guys would be going berserk over there. what i'm precluding is future federal agencies, no matter where they come down on a listing decision, from using phony science which is only self-published. this is like whackjobs who write books about crazy things and they publish it themselves and say, look, it's a book. yeah, it's a book, you paid to publish it. and in this case they use taxpayer money to publish a phony study to justify -- to justify a decision which they already made which you might have to -- happen to agree with. but what happens when they use that same tactic to do that with a decision you disagree with, to actually list something? this has nothing to do with transpare

the senator from oregon. mr. wyden: madam president, just very briefly to describe where i think the internet tax debate is, is that we have republicans and democrats objecting to what i happen to think is in the country's national interest, and that is a permanent ban on internet past discrimination. so we have republicans and democrats objecting to that. now, my colleague from texas comes forward and says okay, let's not do a two-month extension because you don't want to consider this in the lame-duck session. but colleagues, if you don't do the two-month extension, the internet tax freedom act will have expired and you're still in the lame-duck session. and by the time you get to the lame duck, millions of americans will be vulnerable to discriminatory internet taxes. so i'm just going to close this discussion by saying that in my view, neither of the options is exactly ideal, because i think i made it very clear after 16 years that i would like to make permanent the ban against discriminatory taxes. but neith

and i know that oregon is not alone. in every single state west and east and urban and rural, yes, democrat and republican, this has been the story in which jobs lost have exceeded jobs gained. so this is why i strongly hope that this body of folks representing the west and east and north and south and the urban and the rural, the blue and red, can come together to get this job done for the american people. think about it this way for a moment -- under our current tax code, we are asking working families who are paying income taxes to subsidize the exportation of their own jobs. that makes no sense. if you went out on the street in eugene or pendleton or medford, cities across my state and you started asking people what they think about that, you'd probably hear a common theme. one person might say that is absurd. another might say that goes against our own economic self-interest. a third might just simply say that's wrong, that hurts families. and all of them would be right. so let's right this wrong, this inflicted wou

oregon is on fire. numerous fires in oregon. every day there are reports of more and more wildfires, lightning, negligence of somebody who threw a cigarette out. these fires, mr. president, are really oppressive. in the state of nevada, wide areas have been burned. and the sad part about this, mr. president, once these fires are over with, we have many native species that are wiped out. and what comes back, these invasive species, which is really not what nature intended. we should work here in the senate and quickly putting together this funding. we have the request, it's certainly a good request. and we should get this emergency funding to the states so they can be protected. when i say to the states, we have, right now we have more than 4,000 firefighters out there. 4,000. there's an army out there fighting fires; very dangerous we know. every year people are killed. we know what happened in arizona just a year and a half ago where 21 people were fighting fires and were burned in a devastating fire, that they were dead in a m

in oregon, a four-meter-long piece of wood painted in red washed ashore last year. when state authorities asked an oregon resident what it was, he knew immediately that it was part of a sacred gate. uchiyama works as a curator at the portland japanese garden. it's run by a non-profit organization with 7,000 members. various u.s.-japan cultural exchange events are held at the garden. they wanted to find out more about the destroyed gate. so in may uchiyama traveled to japan with his american colleague, trying to locate where the gate originally stood. >> translator: so many americans are worried about people in the devastated regions. we want to be there for them. >> reporter: the piece had a donor's name that read takahashi and the date of the donation written on the back. but during the first trip he could not solve the mystery. two months later, a museum in hachinohe received a call from a local historian. he saw an image of the washed-up object on television. he asked if there was a lost gate in the area after the tsunami and if anyone named takahashi donated the

farming is crucial to oregon's rural economy. many family farmers and ranchers rely on snowmelt to provide irrigation water in the spring but we are already seeing a 20% drop in the snow pack in a cascade since 1950. with warmer temperatures and less water farmers are seeing significant problem regarding the supply of water for their growing season. not only that the precipitation patterns are becoming increasingly irregular adding a layer of uncertainty for farmers to invest in their livelihoods and crops. farmers and ranchers in the klamath basin of oregon for example have been hammered by major droughts in 2001, 2010, 2013 and they are struggling to stay afloat. if you talk to these farmers and ranchers not just in klamath county but throughout oregon you will hear the impact of the changing climate is not some distant threat, it is a threat and reality right now are you working to fishing. fishing is another critical industry that is in danger from the assault of carbon pollution. with lowered snowmelt we have former and smal

and i was just this past weekend both in medford, oregon, rural southern oregon and in portland, meeting with the forest service and bureau of land management, and they told me about the problem that senator crapo and i are trying to address in a bipartisan legislation that chair mikulski has included in her appropriation bill. -- appropriations bill. and the heart of the problem, mr. president, is because these prevention efforts are underfunded, when it gets very dry and very hot and particularly when there is a lightning strike or a series of lightning strikes, what you have is an enormous fire in a hurry, and all through the west there is an effort to try to share resources and communities work together and try to share efforts of aerial resources and others, but the reality is there is not enough money to put out those huge fires. so what happens then is the bureaucracy borrows from the prevention fund in order to put the fire out, and then we're on our way to two bigger problems, mr. president. we're on our way to again a lack of preventative dollars because of this fire borrowing.

now, as we look at oregon, we have incredibly large fire activity here as well.n fact, .6% of oregon state is there their acreage dealing with wildfire, buzzard complex being the largest. we just saw the ochiko mountains in sorting central oregon go into an effect of evacuation and road closures as well. a lot of issues here because it is timber that is burning and it was lightning-caused last weekend. >> so much to deal with. thank you. >>> next on al jazeera america, a tragic loss for the medical community. several prominent aids researchers were on flight 17. why other scientists say it's a devastating blow to their search for a cure. >>> so many lives. one of the world's leading hiv researchers was killed in the flight 17 crash. she and others were on their way to annual aids conference in australia. courtney keeley reports. >> i would like to call for a moment of silence. >> the world health organization confirmed the death of their spokesman, glen thomas killed aboard the malaysia plane shot out of the sky over ukraine. >> it is with deep sadness that we ha

oregon doesn't just face the threat from tsunamis generated. the same type that generated the great alaska quake. and, according to geologic history, we're about overdue for a major quake in the northwest. it has been fairly quiet for a few hundred years. but, as i said, it is judged to being overdue. potentially, we'll be sending a wave north. and we need that early warning system finished and deployed in the ocean. and and as needed on land. you know, we know we're not going to be able to predict a quake days in advance. but just those few minutes. we practiced drills and skills on the coast. i have measured impacts and found safe havens. dr. holt made an comment point and i won't belabor it. but i ask asked a hearing on reduced size misty. it is a relatively decent phenomenon, which is not yet well-studied or well-known. there have been storms and quakes where there have not been before. it's atriblted to the reinjection of waste which includes lubricants, oil and proprietary chemicals, with pd which we're not allowed to know about. this is

it was really enforced with issued land grants to build railroads to connect the people in the oregon territory, the california territory. during the bloodys conflict in this nation ever known, and eisenhower laid out a highway system, and it connected 50 states. and states and localities already have a responsibility when you think of the streets, the county roads, the state highways that join into a national system, and it's secondly, to make that choice is really a cowardly choice at the federal level because it's basically saying i don't want to make the hard choice of raising the gas tax and index it to inflation. i'm going to make that choice for you. >> but states already have the role of maintaining the highways, so we can already go from one state to another. we can see differences in the quality of roads because of the amount of money they spend on maintenance. congress is not going to do that 37 we need to just put that aside. neither is it going to have a judge on vehicles in terms of vehicle mile travel, which is really the most logical thing to do now that cars are getti
