the rest of the regiment have been taken to form the regiments. we are calling the situation -- they had no knowledge of how to go, no knowledge of how to handle the rifle, and they were 20% of the strength of the company. the first division in france created the additional challenge for marshall and his colleagues, while convincing the -- allies they were fighting. marshall cannot help but notice the military appearance and their sparging uniforms, and few traces of formal discipline. marshall believed this display created in the minds of the french official that our soldiers understood nothing of the military business, since this division was supposed to be better than the regular army. the first division was then -- and a designated training area -- no sooner -- so that they could join the fighting as soon as possible. we are trying to get organized in the way of the pie. since many of the soldiers had only joined the division shortly, they still needed training in basic american military principles. in order to satisfy both french and american

simply, the subsidized the tax cuts for the wealthy and for the well off in the corporations and the american people deserve a better deal. i yield back. >> i think the gentleman and the rest of our speakers we have two members on the way and there's a filibuster for a few minutes so we're plenty of time left. it was mentioned earlier that anna groundhog day this is my tenth year on the committee and i will say that many of these budget markups have resembled on holiday and i feel this pain. we have heard for ten years from the republicans and many of the same arguments and we've heard from our members on the same side many of the same arguments and we continually talked about the fact that particularly sensor problems have been in the majority that republicans always want to talk about the spending side of the budget and never want to talk about the revenue side and this budget follows that pattern and the only difference between now and the previous two years in which the publicans have been in the majority as they finally were able to achieve a tax cut so they dealt with the reven

the ftc, to echo the chairman is the top cop on the beat protecting both the public and businesses against unfair, deceptive, fraudulent or anti-competitive practices though the consumer protection and antitrust authorities. as the economy continues to change and expand, the ftc has had to adapt to this new economy and is the social networks shopping, banking and other forms of communication and businesses move to the internet, the ftc has changed bringing in more technical technology experts. at the same time, many suggest that the commission needs more technology experts even though its resources are as tight as ever. i am concerned that we are asking one of the countries most important agencies to choose which protections that will be able to enforce. i hope we will work together to ensure the ftc has all the resources that it needs to maintain consumer protection and in the marketplace. from a regulatory standpoint, it's time to look at ways to reduce barriers to the consumer protection rulemaking. the ftc ability to move forward with important rulemaking is much more limited than thos

and the point is the cartoon. but i had to make very important decisions on how to talk about truman in the marines. truman, i could have gone one of two ways, one which is the atomic bomb. undoubtedly, that's maybe even the bigger one than this, but then i thought, well, the unification battle between the armed forces after world war ii is probably the most lasting legacy of his in terms of the army marine corps, navy and air force at last today. but too often historical events are dealt without the context. so how does guantanamo bay fit into that context? so if you look at the newspaper clipping there, you'll see up there the pretty picture of the marines landing at guantanamo bay, 1898. the battalion marines, mcculla, establishes the base that's there today, but if you look at the paper, it's everybody else. but look what the marines got with one battalion. and guess who was there with m him? one of the counts of military action is his wounds in the rain in the battle of guantanamo bay and after. so you're goi

the boys coach is the last to leave the cave.scue everyone could take several days and now it's done for the night and will resume after ten hours. >>> new this morning, a young child in antioch was air liftd to the hospital after falling out of a second story window. it happened at 7:30 last night at a home on bridle way. we don't know the child's condition this morning. we called police for more information and still waiting to hear back. >>> a san jose man in jail this morning after being accused of luring a 16-year old boy into a van and sexually assaulting him. he's facing felony charges including assault with intent to commit rape and kidnapping. he saw the boy walking on cunningham way and asked him for help. the boy thought he was a woman so he walked over to the van where he was pulled in and assaulted. the boy managed to escape and called police. officers searched the area and were led to his home where he was arrested. >> i usually don't let my kids out. they're always with me. so i have nieces and nephews that age and

if in the past the silk road was called the axis of the world if you control that road you control the world. china has. chosen the city of chong xing as the starting point for its new silk road. with a population of around thirty five million almost as many as beijing and shanghai combined chung xing is china's largest urban area. few people in the west have actually heard of chong xing but this mega-city on the young sea river is a symbol of the economic boom the country has been experiencing for the past thirty years. while growth is tapering off in the major industrial centers of long show and shenzhen chung xing is proving every day a new that it's one of the future engines of china's economic development. growth has long been based on heavy industry with cheap labor from the countryside . but in recent years the megacity has put all its energy behind the giants of the electronics industry. thanks to this transformation junction can now boast a growth rate in double figures. margins that our laptops are largely produced in chongqing the one doc company has three factories in china

notjust not just the notjust the players in the squad and the staff, it's the stuff behind the scenese was going —— they were going to be together for seven weeks, lots of them would think they would be bored but has not felt like that, it's felt like a good holiday we've been on. we are enjoying every moment of. following spain's poor performance at the world cup, they've already started to rebuild. they've named the former barcelona head coach, luis enrique as the national team's new manager. it's been quite a chaotic few weeks. enrique replaces fernando hierro — who led the team in russia — after they had sacked julen lopetegui, just days before the tournament started — after he had been announced as new real madrid coach. that's all the sport for now. other news now. the home secretary is chairing a meeting of the government's emergency cobra committee to discuss the death of a woman who was exposed to the nerve agent, novichok, in wiltshire. the police say the woman and her partner must have received a high dose of the agent. duncan kennedy has been in salisbury for us the death

the money is now in the hands of the commission on the way to the states. it ought to be used to bolster security. unfortunately, it's not clear at all how the commission is using the money to do this and my concern as you and i have talked about is the state could go out and buy a whole lot more technology from the stonewalling voting machine companies. let me just wrap up by saying before we conclude the statements of the commissioner whose number two at the commission also concern me greatly. she stated that she disagrees with the intelligence community that russia won't believe how to influence. you and i have heard again and again that it is a the overwhelming view of the community that russia sought the influence of the election so i can't figure out where the number two official is dismissing the analysis of the government, the administration intelligence experts. you can set aside the outcome no matter who you pulled the lever for the last time around all of us here in the senate care about defending our elections from foreign hackers going forward.

the green areas are the parks and services welcome centre on the left side of the screen, and the foodservice area on the right side of the screen with the associated housing. the blue areas are the ferry concessionaire areas to operate the fairies themselves. and then we went through a number of graphics to sort of help you visualize what this is going to look like as compared to what is there today. obviously, a new area, a new plaza area where people can comfortably await their fairies or disembark, we also have a new welcome centre which would be another way for people to sort of engage in and to begin the process of learning about alcatraz. at the bottom here we see instructive examples from other national parks facilities that really starts people getting into the mode of being at a national park asset. and then also the alcatraz cafÉ. obviously, people after a long trip to alcatraz, often times want food. they want a nice experience to recount what happened while they were there. this is an opportunity to allow that but allow it in a first-class way along the lines of what the p

know the scope of the problem because the commission was asleep at the wheel. the commission is now investigating but how are you so in the dark on an abuse that was widespread industry practice and with confidence can this committee that the commission will take appropriate enforcement action against carriers who have so recklessly shared location data without our consent. again and again the commission has failed in its obligations to uphold public interest and have instead repeatedly sided with corporations over consumers and in waiting 9 months to do this oversight hearing this committee has been complicit in the commission's action by turning a blind eye and been derelict in response abilities to provide oversight for this agency. i am pleased the commission issued a hearing designation order for the sinclair merger and in doing so acknowledged the near universal concerns of sinclair's honesty and candor but i'm externally concerned the president has weighed in on this issue. i hope you can usher us the president's tweet last night will not cause the commi

and at the centre were the conference ended recently, the team walked into the conference waving at thend remember these boys are as young as i! cameras, and remember these boys are as young as 11 years old to 16 years old, going through something extraordinary and their lives that no one could have imagined, beating the odds to survive the long dark night of the cave. and also recuperating really fast from the hospital. when these boys spoke, the world listened, and they were stories of genuine human courage. one of the boys also said that how he felt so hungry that he didn't think about food because that would have meant losing the battle. and thatis have meant losing the battle. and that is really the message coming out of it, that discipline, teamwork and how they worked against the odds supporting each other through thick and thin stop from here, these boys went out to their hometown, which is about 30 minutes from here, and from now, it is all celebrations for them. they will be needing their families and friends for the first time —— meeting theirfamilies and friends, and the sta

>> deny the appeal on the basis that the department did not err. >> on the basis that the revocation was proper. >> correct. >> it may help -- it may be advisable in this situation for the board to determine the police department's decision based on the evidence that was presented at the time of that hearing was sufficient to justify the revocation. >> i agree. >> so the information that was presented prior in regards to what was -- what was stated and what the brief was based on was sufficient. >> so the motion i think that commissioner honda would like to make is a motion to deny the appeal and uphold the revocation of the permit. there's two mer mits that issue here -- permits that issue here, based on the evidence that was presented at the police department's hearing at the revocation hearing. >> i like the way you make my -- i did such a good job with that, didn't i? >> okay. so we have commissioner honda's motion to deny the appeal and uphold the revocation of the permit on the basis that the revocation was proper based on the evidence presented at the revocation hearing before

the day of the senator's death, president johnson sent letters to the president of the senate and the speaker of the house which urgently implored congress to enact a meaningful and effective gun control law. in june much of the president's attention was centered on the paris peace talks. early in the month u.s. negotiator cyrus vance returned to washington to report on an apparent impasse at those meetings. from vietnam, however, the reports were far from optimistic. instead of a slowdown in the hostilities as a result of the peace be negotiations, the communists had launched a massive new wave of assaults throughout the south to erode resolve on the home front and grasp heightened leverage in the diplomatic struggle. at a news conference on june 26th, the president announced that supreme court chief justice earl warren was retiring. in making his third and fourth appointments to the high court, the president knew that his choices would affect the destiny of the nation long after he himself had left office. >> watch "real america" this weekend on american history tv on c-span3. >> pr
