talarian was acquitted by charges by a jury in germany in 1920, later moved to serbia and then to san francisco, california. indied in 1960 and is buried an armenian cementtary in fresno, california. which then was the only one in the contry. i hope my colleagues will join me and the armenians throughout the nation and the world in honoring him and also pay tribute to the 1.5 million lives lost in the genocide, the first genocide in the 20th century, as well as their desendants who live today for we must never, ever forget the history. as it was once said, for those who forget history, they are doomed to repeat t on a separate matter, mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize denim day, which is observed in april throughout the world as being an awareness of the sexual assault awareness month. my staff today is wearing denim, joining other organizations throughout the district and nation to raise the awareness about sexual violence prevention. i'd like to commend the valley crisis center in merced, the community action partnership, and the san joaquin valley organizations for all they do

they believe there's a connection with serbia or serbs where the guns were coming through and the middlens on to the people who carried out the attacks. stuart: because they got him? >> they got him. stuart: a nice rally on a wednesday morning, we're up 130 points, 17, 850. that's where we are. how about j.p. morgan? that stock is up. it made $5 1/2 billion profit in 13 weeks, it's the leading dow stock, it's up 3%, 61 on j.p. morgan and now this, a warning from the c.d.c. claiming that the zika virus may hit america harder than originally thought. come on in, dr. manny alvarez. fox news medical a-team. we've got the warning and we understand this coming is going to hurt. how do i take precaution against that? >> a couple of things, two things we've learned, the mosquitos are now in 30 states in the u.s., so it's not only the southern states anymore, it's everywhere. and number two, that we have learned over the last month or so that the zika virus itself is just not the microself any that is affecting pregnant women, it also has an adult neurological component. so we're looking at disea

i was in serbia last month when the massa doania and other borders closed ending the route north leaving thousands trapped in countries unclear of their futures. not since the period preceding world war ii have we witnessed such popular rejection of the notion of protecting refugees. within this climate, it is all the more essential to ensure nondiscriminatory access to quality asylum and protection while taking legitimate steps to ensure their own security, countries should not slam their borders shut to those who are themselves the victims of violence, persecution and often terrorism. and who have no other means of finding safety. as recent events have shown, such efforts could have the unintended consequence of supporting the business of smugglers and human traffickers. in contrast, efforts to identify quickly those persons in need of international protection, to address their needs are not only in line with international law, but also with the finest of humanitarian traditions. this approach recognizes that effective counter-terrorism measures and the protection of human rights are c

givers at the time and jeremy hardy, one of the airmen who rescued him after his f-16 was hit in serbia 17 years ago was at his side. just happened to be at his side. great, great, meaningful coincidence. dave has never forgotten the men and women he served alongside or his responsibility to the people under his command. that's important to me, i know it's important to the president and to all of you. his nomination will ensure that the air force of the future remains as strong as the air force of today. he's demonstrated the ability to recruit and maintain talented men and women in some of the most critical fields of the future, including cyber, intelligence, battlefield airmen, from cyberspace to outer space to the defense of the global commons, every one of us benefits from the security and peace of mind the united states air force provide. -- provides. when there's no -- there's no one more qualified to serve as our next air force chief of staff. to lead the 660,000 men and women of the air force as they confront today's full spectrum threats and prepare for future challenges. it's
