rogers. our subcommittee on homeland security is a, i think, a terrific example on how the congress ought to operate. i am one of the most dedicated fiss -- fiscal conservatives in the house. our subcommittee is made up of people with very strong beliefs from both sides of the aisle. but we don't work in that committee with regard to party. we don't even mention party labels. i have done my best to really erase that term from my language and focus on what's fiscally conservative and fiscally liberal. but this committee really has focused on what's good for the nation. we have worked together in a way that is, i think, has -- i hope the leadership of the congress would use the work of this subcommittee, the work of all the subcommittees on appropriations as a model. it's an important -- it's important, i think, for this congress in this time of record debt and deficit do what's right for the country, do what's right for our kids and our grandchildren and focus on ways to be fiscally responsibl

rogers: i yield myself the balance of our time. you know, since 9/11 we've come a long way in securing the country, i think. it's been eight long years, la borious tasks have been undertaken. first the formation of the department of homeland security, attempting to merge some 22 different agencies of the government into a single agency under the umbrella of the department of homeland securit and, yes, week of made progress, i think substantial progress in aviation security and the protection of goods coming into the country by box, container box. we've made substantial gains across the board in securing our american homeland. but we're still a long way from being where we need to be. it seems like it's been terribly slow he in many of the areas that we need to work on. but, you know, it's amazing to me, i was just reading a book about world war ii and just how quickly the nation responded to the attack on pearl harbor in 1941. in four years, madam chairman, in just four years, half the time since 9/11, the nation geared up and prod

rogers: madam chairman. the chair: the gentleman from kentucky. mr. rogers: i yield myself such time as i may consume. the chair: the gentleman is recognized. mr. rogers: let me start, madam chairman, by commending the chairman on putting together a thoughtful bill. i also want to sincerely thank him for listening to our concerns on this side and for continuing this subcommittee's traditions of bipartisanship and professionalism. . however, i must express my grave concern ompe an issue that casts a long and sad shadoove over this important bill. the fact that we are not here today debating this bill under an open rule. that breaks with long cherished traditions concerning appropriations bills. and i, for one, am outrage that had today's debate on the critical issue of homeland security has been arbitrarily constrained. such dictatorial tactics are contrary to the purpose of this chamber and our legislative process. and to add insult to injury, the majority also denies the ability of a hard-working member of our subcommittee, the gentleman from califor

rogers: madam speaker, i have a motion to recommit at the desk. the speaker pro tempore: is the gentleman opposed to the bill? mr. rogers: in its present form. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman qualifies. the clerk will report the motion. the clerk: mr. rogers of kentucky moves to recommit the bill to the committee on appropriations with instructions to report the same back to the house forthwith with the following amendment. on page 2, line 18, after the dollar amount insert, reduce by $50 billion. on page 52, line 19, after the first dollar amount, insert increase by $50 million. on page 52, line 21, after the dollar amount, insert increase by $50 million. the speaker pro tempore: the house will be in order. members and staff will take their seats. members in conversations will remove them from the floor. members in the center aisle will sit down. the gentleman from kentucky is recognized for five minutes. mr. rogers: madam speaker, since the majority has shut out nearly all of the minority from offering legitimate and well reasoned amendme

no matter what, they're the favorites. >> roger federer wants to win the title.er is a very good player. federer made him look average. >> there was a lot of incredible tennis this this match. and kohlschreiber made roger work. >> he did, but federer would get a break-in each of the two sets and race to a two-set lead. up in the third before kohlschreiber battled back, won the third set in a tie break. federer reasserted himself, 6-1, in the fourth. >> i think it was a good match for roger. he was tested, now battle ready for the second week. >> maybe it will be a semifinal collision with novak djokovic. >> maybe he had sushi last night, but too much game for the american. >> oh, sushi and fish. i get it. give me a second and i'll catch up. it was a straight set win against the man he kind of feared. >> marty is a dangerous opponent, but djokovic was moving unbelievably well. >> tommy haas on the far court won the first two sets. his opponent battled back in the fifth. haas had two match points in the fourth. they get back it on saturday. the campers are waiting

rogers. iize in support of the hastings-rogers-jackson lee amendment. i appreciate their willingness to work with me on this important amendment. we have towered the homeland security sites that have had canines and heard from airports who say give me one good dog and we provide security. t.s.a.'s canine teams are important and effective tools for securing all modes of transportation in the united states. the use of canine teams has managed what few security measures can boast. they are well liked. our committee worked hard to re-affirm our support for canine teams in explosion detection. i'm proud to have led these efforts. this amendment rounds out these important provisions as we speak, t.s.a. continues its work meeting the 100% cargo screening requirement established by the 9/11 act. let me indicate that i'm very proud of the language we have about 100% cargo screening. it is one that we worked with the department of homeland security. we worked with mr. markey. we worked with our chairman and our ranking member of both committees, the subcommittee

match point now, roger serving. soderling misses the return wide.erer, in three sets, 23 aces for roger. >> it was a serving contest out there today. maybe not as much fun for the people, but i stayed calm and waited for my chance and thank god i came up with a good form when i had to in the breaker. it was going to be hard for him to keep serving those big second serves when it mattered. that wasn't i particularly surprised when he hit a double fault on the breaker. >> i thought i played a great first week. today was different just because it's not that many rallies. it was a different type of match. could be the same next round, so i'm excited. i'm through to another quarter. >> a little later in the show, we'll take a closer look at the men's field. several top seeds in action including roddick, twice runner up looking to take the final step. houston rockets team physician dr. tom clanton tells the houston chronicle that yao ming's broken left foot could cause him to miss the entire upcoming season and it could be a career threatening injury. he

rogers has worked very closely on. one of those is the e-verify program that my colleague from california, mr. calvert, has worked on. he made an attempt to offer that amendment. it was defeated. and mr. kingston similarly, offered an amendment to require government contractors to use e-verify to deal with our nation's border security. his amendment was also defeated. i supported both of those amendments up in the rules committee. now we won't get the opportunity to debate the kinds of things that mr. rogers, mr. calvert and mr. kingston wanted us to be able to address. i personally believe that while i support e-verify, i believe that the bill that i worked on, h.r. 98, which would establish a smart counterfit proof social security card would end the magnet which draws people into the country illegally, but i think that e-verify is an important step in dealing with our security. under the process, madam speaker, as you know very well, we could address all of these issues, all of these issues from both democrats and re

rogers and i'd be happy to yield to my chairman, mr. price. mr. rogers: i think the gentleman would be derelict in his duties to the congress and the people of his district and the country if you didn't make these efforts to help the people that you represent. that's not a unique thing to try to help the people that you represent in the u.s. congress. and i salute the gentleman. mr. culberson: in a fiscally conservative way, i might add. i'm proud to yield to mr. price. mr. price: i thank the gentleman for yielding and i'd like to add my word of commendation for looking out for his people, looking out for his home area and crafting an amendment that is responsive to some very real perils and i just say once again, these proposals have been vetted by fema. there's no question they underwent rigorous scrutiny and this is consistent with the stafford act and will protect lives and reduce property damages in this locate so i commend him for his advocacy. mr. culberson: thank you, mr. chairman. i'd also like to say that each member of congress as i hav

rogers: i simply want to join my chairman in opposition to the amendment for the reasons that he said. mr. price: i thank the chairman. now yield to mr. rothman. mr. rothman: thank you, madam chairman. first i'd like to thank chairman price and ranking member rogers and my fellow subcommittee members for their leadership on this entire homeland security legislation and for their support for this project. as you know the department of homeland security reviewed this project and had no objection to it. this is a good bill and a good project. mr. flake's amendment would remove funding for this project that would otherwise help local, state, and federal emergency response agencies better communicate and coordinate the aftermath of of a terrorist attack or natural disaster. my district is across the river from the -- where the twin to youers in new york city. we know firsthand the difficulties that arose in that terrible tragedy because of the inoperability, the lack of communication technologies, working together, among police, fire, and other emergency services. there was a landmark publ

rogers from michigan, an f.b.i. agent who went to afghanistan, god bless him for taking the time for the oversight who serves on the intelligence committee, had a very important amendment regarding an apparent policy initiative by this administration to expand the practice of reading miranda rights to detainees in the custody of u.s. armed forces in afghanistan. it's called global justice. mr. rogers wanted to talk about that and offer an amendment whether we would pass it or not he had every right to do so. now mr. rogers and other members have legitimate concerns about such policies. he simply wanted the opportunity to offer his amendment and let the house vote. he complied with the printing requirement he testified late last night, sat up there late into the night, until 12:30 or 1:00 in the morning, testified at the rules committee and yet now he is unable to even offer this amendment that deals with the whole fundamental issue of the war on terror, what's taking place in afghanistan and all these issues. closin

according to congressman rogers, this has already begun to have an adverse affect to the inter-- the international red cross has advised the detainees, take the option, you want a standard. "the weekly standard" reported, "in one instance a high-level detainee has taken that advice and requested a lawyer rather than talking." likewise, the american people remain in limbo as they have waited for your word about whether detainees at guantanamo would be transferred into the united states. i think we got a letter from you either last night or this morning on that finally. the solution you have suggested -- solutions i think are dangerous. in march you said some of the detainees could be released into the united states. a few days later the director of national intelligence expanded your statement to say, "some sort of public assistance for them is necessary to start a new life." the american people deserve to know what the plan is and how you're going to protect national security. i think you should have weighed in on the dangerous legislation such as the state secrets act and the media

as roger said i did start on the campaign the third week in january of 2008, i lived in iowa for a.then travel to a number of different states, nevada, minnesota, texas, indiana and then spend about six months in virginia which was a truly gratifying experience. there are a number of things that we learned during the campaign that i think because of the president's unit background as a community organizer helped instill in us a new way to reach out and talk to people of bella lipitor campaigning -- electoral campaign and that is that people matter and all too often in campaigns people are paid less service but they are not taken seriously so we have a model on the campaign, respect and already includes and we took every person's point of view very seriously, their efforts, their sacrifice, and we fell into that empowerment there would be more invested in our success and if we didn't take the time to build that sort of repoire. we basically took that from iowa and did that in every primary state, every general election state moving foreign and is something we're going to do and have

. >> i'm roger clay with the center for quality opportunity. one of the problems with section 5 now is that it has an an effects test, which means that it makes things illegal under the voting rights act that are not illegal under the constitution, and that creates the con gruence and proportional problems. but it also has a couple of bad practical problems. one is something you all have talked about, it sort of refocuses on race race consciousness an encourag encous racial segregation of voting districts through racial jerry meandering, but the other thing is it allows the justice department the flexibility to go after proposed voting practices and procedures, that may have a disproportionate effect, but which may also be perfectly legitimate. for instance, the use of anti-voter fraud measures, is often asserted to have a racially disproportionate effect and that's debated whether that's even true, but it certainly allows the justice department to get into the business of vetoing anti-voter fraud measures. so i guess my question to all of you

rogers. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from alabama is recognized for two minutes. mr. rogers: thank you. i offer my reluctant support to the consumer assistance to recycle and save act. all of us have witnessed the devastation witnessed by the automotive sector. in my home state of alabama, as well as other states, workers have lost their jobs or had their hours cut. many hardworking dealers have simply had to be forced to close their doors. to stimulate the auto sector we must work to stimulate credit markets and restore consumer confidence. that's why i recently introduced my bill the consumer auto relief act. unlike the bill we're considering today my bill would help all sectors of the automotive industry. in addition to helping families, the bill will help incentivize lenders to finances new vehicles. the -- to finance new vehicles. unfortunately, my bill's wasn't on the floor today. nonetheless, despite m reservations about h.r. 2751, i believe passing it is better than doing nothing. but not by much. i offer my support for the bill and i urge its passage. i yield

rogers, mr. calvert, others who want to have a chance to stand up and guess what, madam speaker, they unfortunately are denied that in this process. justice felix frankfurter in 1943 made the following statement. he said the history of liberty is largely due to the history of procedural safeguards. now, madam speaker, i believe that the federal government is too big and spends too much as our leader boehner regularly says. i believe we should have a right to bring about those reductions so we can get our economy back on track to ensure that americans aren't going to lose their jobs, their businesses, and their homes. and we are denied that chance today. but, i want to say to my democratic colleagues and my republican colleagues, madam speaker, we have an opportunity , and it is before us right now. all we need to do is vote no on the previous question and what will happen? we'll be continuing the 220-year tradition of appropriations under an open amendment process. if we can defeat the previous q
