henry paulsen, was secretary of treasury under president george w. bush. he helped design the early stages of the iran sanctions regime but just the other day he said, quote, it would be totally unrealistic to believe if we backed out of this deal the multilateral sanctions would remain in place. paul volcker, who chaired the federal reserve under president reagan said, quote, this agreement is as good as you are going to get to think that we can unilaterally maintain sanctions doesn't make any sense. we should pause for a minute, to contemplate what voting down this agreement might mean for iran's cadre of hard-liners. for those people in iran who lead the chants of death to america, death to israel and even death to rouhani. and who prosecute journalists simply for doing their jobs. the evidence documents that among those who most fervently want this agreement to fall apart are the most extreme factions in iran. and their opposition should tell you all you need to know. from the very beginning these extremists have warned that negotiating with the united

jim paulsen joining us, and i have a hard time for getting my favorite question, which is, have we hitell, who knows, andrew. i kind of suspect we have. i think minimum we go challenge the old loads that we had set on the initial crash. my best guess is we break those and head down to 1800 or that level before we finally scare everyone entirely and maybe finally find a bottom in the correction. i really think, you know, the whole thing about this is just the vulnerabilities of the market that we build over the last few years, a market that was fairly highly valued, they got fairly calm, and the need to reset interest rate, and we're still working through that. i think the things we're going to have to face going forward now that we're full employment and have interest rate and maybe inflation pressures, i think we're going to need a lower valuation and a more cautious sentiments among investors. i don't know we're there yet. my guess is that we got a limit lower to go before we find the low. >> and what's going to drive that? is it the debate around when and if we hike? is there someth

i will say just one thing, history was that the u.s., and i believe it began under paulsen and the bushion and continued by the obama administration, was successful in creating this modest appreciation of the yuan, okay? but now, they stepped in and essentially intervened in the market, to keep it -- allow it to devalue. that's the first thing. the other thing is that china, for a very long time, has made these market-oriented moves. all of a sudden, they get a big upset like this and they go and they arrest journalists and they harass people who are selling, that's the kind of thing that has long-term damage. and i think lew is trying to -- >> we should point out, just to make sure we are keeping track of our own issues, we banned short selling in the united states here at one point, too, during the financial crisis, so, we are not without our own flaws along the way. very different -- very different, but -- >> i agree. >> when things get really bad, it's hard to stay out of the markets. >> champing at the bit. champing at the bit. nch>> so many directions i want go speak to the next o

paulsen: permission to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. paulsen: congress has a duty to ensure that taxpayer dollars by hard-working americans are spent wisely and responsibly. we have seen federal agencies that have acted in a way that waste taxpayer money by holding excessive conferences with ex tra -- gifts and perks. we remember ap conference that ost $823,000 for employees and thousands of dollars spent on gifts. the i.r.s. on conferences alone during a three-year period. these agencies need more accountability. that's why my colleague, ron kind introduced the bipartisan trace act. this legislation requires the head of a federal agency who is hosting a conference to submit a summary of that event to congress for review. this initiative will hold agencies accountable and improve oversight and transparency. it will save hard-earned taxpayer money and create a more efficient and effective government. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from texas see
