richard baker, 29 years old. platt, south dakota, september 17, 2015. nicole westerhues. thank you, mr. speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. for what purpose does the gentleman from arizona seek recognition? without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one inute. mr. gallego: mr. speaker, the annual defense bill before the house today removes $18 about from the overseas war account to fund activities not related to war. it is unfortunate that the republican majority, which claims to be fiscally responsible, are raiding it in order to bypass bipartisan spending agreements. this budget gimmick would require an $18 billion supplemental next april, only halfway through the fiscal year, to restore overseas funding for america's troops overseas. there's no way -- this is no way to govern and the pentagon is doing a disservice, as well as congress, to our men and women by pushing for this. defense secretary ash carter said removing overseas funding during war time is, quote, objectionable on the face of it. it is my hope and the

meeting a lot of realist foreign policy establishment figures in the republican party, james baker, richard birt, henry kissinger, not the neoconservatives like bill kristol and robert kagan and others that are important but they represent another divide, another wing in the foreign policy establishment. to some degree the gap between kissinger and trump, he's like a turbocharged realist in this and the two of them are going to get the other meeting kissinger and the republican party like the new hampshire primary. everybody has to do it. but there's a lot less distance than a lot of people are arguing right now because trump came out and said he's about national interest, about america first. and while kissinger doesn't want trump to rep nato, a lot of things sounds like old kissinger. >> what about the fact that henry kissinger was the guy that arranged the meeting in china between nixon in '72 and we've heard donald trump for the better part of almost a year now rail against china, the manipulation of the currency, trade stuff as well. how do you reconcile those two things? >> well, dona

balance the membership on the committee with older members like frank church, howard baker, with some newer members. richard scheiker was a new leelected member and they had an interest and new members of congress. so, it was a recognition that maybe we needed a new fresh approach to some of the challenges the country was faced with. >> in a moment we're going to see the testimony of cia director, william colby. >> it was unusual in part because for decades the house and senate had provided oversight of the intelligence community but primarily they had done that in closed executive hearings. and that was for a number of reasons. the primary reason was they didn't want to provide opportunities in a public hearing where information that was classified might be revealed and therefore undermine the security of intelligence methods or practices. but there was increasingly a sense that the people who were supposed to provide oversight in congress of the intelligence community had not been doing it rigorously or effectively. and that -- in the senate for example, there were two senate subcommittees, tasked with ov

richard nixon and gerald ford. this also comes a week after trump met with former secretary of state, james baker.ig night coming up on the fox broadcast network to be more specific. megyn kelly sits down with donald trump as an exclusive one-on-one interview and here is a preview. >> most kids between the ages of six and 15 have been bullied at some point in their lives. were you ever bullied? >> no, i wasn't. i have seen bullying. i know people who are bullied when they're 55 years old. >> it can happen when you're 45. >> it happens. but you've got to get over it. fight back, do whatever you have to do. i've been saying through this whole campaign that i am a counterpuncher. i'm responding. i then respond times 10. i responded pretty strongly. in just about all cases have been responded to what they did to me. nicole: megyn kelly presents airs tonight at 8:00 on the fox broadcast network. lauren: at former republican presidential candidate john kasich says he will not reenter the race to challenge donald trump as a third-party candidate. >> has mitt romney reached out to you? >> i do want to get

howard baker, barry goldwater. matt matthias and richard striker. staff, bill miller, fritz schwartz curt smothers who i don't think is here. how did you get a committee like that? my answer is mike mansfield. he wanted this to succeed. and he wanted to set up a committee that he thought could go through this huge explosive hearing, these process, and do what he knew would have to be done to work together and sustain bipartisanship. that worked. this committee was working together. there was a single staff. we didn't have a republican staff and a democratic staff. bill miller came off the staff john sherman cooper, one of the saints of the senate and also a republican. and he had enormous prestige in that senate as a gifted staff member. and he was able -- he knew exactly what had to be done. he was an old hand. then i think you'd have to say that the executive branch, maybe with a little time, but they ended up in effect supporting what we were all doing. you have to give some credit to president ford who was not an idlog probably afraid of the con

about 25 or 26, and right after before sunrise when richard linklater and i were first becoming friends, we had an idea about making a movie about chet baker at 25. so i researched the hell out of the part and got really into it, and felt like it was going to happen, but in the process of trying to raise the money for it, i got too old for that script. (laughter) it was actually kind of a painful moment. i loved this script so much, but the script centered on, it was a day in the life of chet baker and it was the day before he tried heroin for the first time. - so set within the 24 hours? - yeah, and it was about what goes into that decision that would change his life forever. and rick wanted to make that movie. there was, it started, we made a mistake of writing it, i was about 26 and we were conceiving it for 25, so i was already behind. and then, you know, as you raise the money, before i knew it i was 32 and i was sitting here in austin out to lunch with rick, and he's like, hey man, (laughter) you know that chet movie? i'm like, yeah i know, maybe we should go to new line, i was thinking, he was like yeah, teeth are getting kind of lo
