and i don't think, probably, for a long time, we've been very smart. >> and congressman quigley, i'll give you the last word. you're on the elevator with a fellow congressperson who could not disagree with you more. what do you say to him on the elevator ride to turn him to your side? >> i think i quote secretary gates who said things like that there's 30 levels between the chain of command to an officer in the field, a member in the field, that we don't need 11 argt carrier strike forces. of course, there's $500,000 a year we spend on musical bands. not making us safer. >> congressman, i wish you the best of luck. and i hope that you are part of a new generation of legislators who do, indeed, seek not only to work together, but to do it in a way that is issue specific and resource intelligent. thank you, guys. >> thanks for having us. >> and i want to turn our attention here to trying to get more of those kinds of debates in this country. something that we all know is effectively impossible, as we've all frustrated ourselves to no end over the past, well, decades, about trying to res

quigley: thank you, mr. chairman. i rise in opposition to this measure. i, too, offered an amendment which failed in committee. my amendment would have prevented individuals convicted of assaulting a police officer or impersonating a police officer from carrying concealed loaded guns. several states that allow permits also denied them to those who have assaulted or impersonated cops. the law enforcement officials of these states have decided that that is what's best for their communities. this bill wipes those protections away and will go further. may i remind my friends here who are citing the constitution as their nexus for this law, that the right to keep and bear arms in the interest of self-defense of a person at home is not unlimited. as the justices wrote in the district of columbia vs. heller, quote, the right is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever for whatever purpose, end quote. frankly that's what the national right to carry reciprocity act purports. so for interpreting the 14th amendment, deeming the bi

quigley, for five minutes. mr. quigley: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, today i rise with a heavy heart to honor and recognize marine lance corporal nicholas daniels. lance corporal daniels of illinois was tragically killed november 5 at the age of 25 while on patrol in the helmund province of afghanistan. i want to pass on my deepest condolences to his family and those who knew him and share with them the thanks of a grateful nation. nick attended elmwood elementary school and graduated from saint patrick high school in tour where he was an all conference linebacker in football. mr. daniels after going back to saint pats to coach football joined the marines in 2010 to help achieve his gole of becoming a police officer. nick was well-known and respected throughout the saint pats community. he was a very funny, lighthearted person who would do anything to those around him. not only was nick a dedicated coach, but most importantly to him he was a loving son and grand son, an incredible mentor to his younger sister and brothers, and loving and devot

quigley: thank you, mr. chairman. i rise in opposition to this measure. i, too, offered an amendment which failed in committee. my amendment would have prevented individuals convicted of assaulting a police officer or impersonating a police officer from carrying concealed loaded guns. several states that allow permits also denied them to those who have assaulted or impersonated cops. the law enforcement officials of these states have decided that that is what's best for their communities. this bill wipes those protections away and will go further. may i remind my friends here who are citing the constitution as their nexus for this law, that the right to keep and bear arms in the interest of self-defense of a person at home is not unlimited. as the justices wrote in the district of columbia vs. heller, quote, the right is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever for whatever purpose, end quote. frankly that's what the national right to carry reciprocity act purports. so for interpreting the 14th amendment, deeming the bi

that was full jesuit, you know, father quigley being quoted.ghter] a lot of what the meat of that speech arced around the other side of the equation, the call to the citizens of this country for responsibility from them, a kind of call to action, a call maybe to sacrifice, but really to be good citizens and to do what they could to build their commitments. communities. do those pieces in your mind work together? were they on the same wave length, did one support the other in terms of the political ability to sell a new role for government in terms of its investment structure? >> i think they did. i think they reinforced one another. there was a fundamental breakdown of trust in every institution. the s&ls had failed, washington had failed, people had just lost trust in government's ability to do it job, and they'd been told by republican presidents repeatedly that government couldn't run a two-car funeral as the president used to say. and so there was just inherent suspicion about whether they could trust what we were going to do. so one of the

quigley, for five minutes. thank you, mr. chairman.r., k thereforeahl just came out, quite sobering, we have been at this for quite awhile. the window to do something seems to be narrowing. what is the plan? it seems tough to say here, but it seems almost inevitable. what is the plan? what do we do if we have a nuclear iran? it is obviously our policy to prevent >> the end of getting a nuclear weapon. the acquisition of a nuclear weapon is unacceptable. how much time we have, i think there is some debate in that. obviously the iaea report is troubling. i think that there is still time to keep on a path that we are now, turning up the heat, diplomatically, and through economic pressure. meanwhile ensuring that the president has all options available to him so that when he says that all options are on the table, there are viable. the defense department activities currently are oriented in the region to convey to iran our resolve to counter the destabilizing activities, and to deny them the benefit of their nuclear and ballistic missile p

quigley: according to new report by the international atomic energy agency, they could have a bomb within a year. iran is not only developing the material for a nuclear weapon, but as the report makes clear, they are also pursuing the means to trigger and deliver a nuclear bomb, posing a threat to our ally, israel, our troops, and the entire region. given the report's findings, complames by iran's leaders that their nuclear weapon is peaceful are no longer credible, and the window for action to stop them is shrinking. we must execute crippling sacks need immediately. we must put in place debilitating sanctions on the central bank of iran, a financer of the program. there could be no doubt that iran is pursuing a nuclear bomb. there could be no doubt we must and will do what it takes to stop them. thank you. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from arkansas rise? without objection. >> thank you, madam speaker. i'd like to take this time to honor a constituent from my district, mr. ron rooney. mr. rooney is president and c.e.

that is why representative mike quigley and i are introducing bipartisan legislation that would require the federal government prepare and publish online periodic financial statements that are independently audited and that are accurately reflecting the government's true financial condition. in the short time i have been in congress, i've focused my efforts on creating an environment that fosters job creation and gets our economy back on track. part of that effort involves america's fiscal house getting in order, and that is why i have worked to curb out-of-control government spending. moving forward, i believe we must also reform the way our federal accounting methods are conducted to make the budget process more transparent and accessible to every american so that they as taxpayers can truly know how their money is being spent and what our government's true liabilities are. that is why i am introducing the bipartisan truth in government accounting act, h.r. 3332. to protect private sector shareholders, the federal government requires each publicly traded company to file periodic gap f

quigley: mr. speaker, on earth the seven billionth person has worn. this rapid growth is strange water and food supplies, reducing access to health care and education and even greated instability and violence. most importantly, this growth is denying women in nations like yemen and afghanistan who still average more than five children their basic human right to decide if, when and how many children to have. 215 million women around the world say they want access to contraception but can't get it. we can fulfill that need and save lives, improve lives and save tax dollars while we do it. according to one institute, meeting this unmet need for family and planning could save the lives of 251,000 women and 1.7 million newborns, improve rates of education and health and save a net total of $1.5 billion. america can lead the world in family planning as it once did but we have to increase aid in international family planning. thank you. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from ohio rise? >> i ask permission to address the house for o
