and in discussions with the administration, -- excuse me, yes, in discussions with the committee, administration officials did not even raise this provision as a priority issue. and finally, on the statement of administration policy, the s.a.p., quote, "section 1036 in addition to imposing onerous requirements, conflicts with procedures for detainee reviews in the field that have been developed based on many years of experience by military officers and the department of defense" -- close quote. mr. president, the only new requirement imposed by section 1036 is the requirement for a military judge and legal representation for any detainee who will be held in long-term custody. in discussions with the committee, the administration did not object to this new requirement. on the contrary, the only change requested by the administration in this provision was to strike the words "long term." the committee did not agree to this proposed change because it would have been openerrous to impose this requirement in the case of all detainees including those who are captured and released or held on a short-te

debate over the obama administration's operation fast and furious. congressman elijah cummings, the rank'ing democrat on the house oversight committee asked republican chairman darrell issa for a hearing to investigate the operation, details of which surfaced in this 2007 briefing paper that was mucasey to persuade mexico to provide corruption-free cops to assist u.s. agents in stopping gun trafficking. the bush era operations differ in several ways. the u.s. told mexico what was happening. agents followed the weapons and fewer made it over the border. a document suggests the atf stopped these controversial tactics under bush, but democrats feel the incident provides a potent political weapon to undermine republicans' investigation of fast and furious. in los angeles, william lajeunesse. >> lamar smith has issued a subpoena to force the homeland security department to turn over immigration enforcement records. last august smith asked for a list of illegal immigrants who had not been detained or put in deportation proceedings. the dhs said it's working

so the administration policy has been a complete failure. what we are trying to do in this legislation -- and we have tried and tried again to satisfy many of the concerns that the administration has -- and i would point out, we did certain things, such as make this -- this legislation only for one year. not permanent but only for one year. and we have issued -- we have put into this legislation a national security waiver which is a mile wide. if the president of the united states decides that this individual should not be kept -- should -- that an individual should be given a trial in civilian court, that -- that -- he has a waiver that all he has to do is exercise. so i'm not exactly sure why the administration feels so strongly about a one-year restriction with a national security waiver that's a mile wide. we made a couple of other changes at the request of the administration. so i can only assume that somehow this has some sort of political implications, as most of -- and i don't say that lightly -- as most of the actions concerning this

obviously the administration could never have influenced the vote of so many delegates. who have surprisingly discipline problems in members they voted to. then they voted seamounts when they were told he is a bad guy. so what has he done wrong he could have fallen out with the kremlin people. party. mr prosser of right now of course if you find that interesting we're discussing your politics member was this a really high level of pond to discipline. the situation was very simple instead of continuing to position the right course as a liberal or at least a right wing party decided to position himself rather than the party as a petition with different views which definitely weren't liberal. that was made explicit by his staffing choices which by the way we were. grounded thus he dismissed thousand three hundred members from the party in petersburg with a single stroke of pen. closer to the end of his chairmanship to singlehandedly dissolve the regional party branch in formally it was dissolved by the party's federal political council but in fact the council never issued s

and i actually i think one of the things they're forcing the administration to do is to leave a paper trail so in other words and again i mentioned war saami who's the somalian guy they think floated around on a boat for two months interrogating him they basically that the administration basically disappeared this guy for two months to do that in the future they'd have to go to congress and say we want to waiver to this immediate military detention we want to put this guy through the civilian process but we're going to tell you we have him and i think that's one of the things that the senate armed services language is designed to do is make a paper trail and make it a lot harder for the administration to make these decisions without at least telling congress about so do you think they're going to succeed and one hand there was also a you doll amendment today which would have placed a little more which would have forced the president to outline what he thinks he should be able to do and that failed so do you think of this you know this provision is actually going to succeed. well the v

and the company that took the loan had been rejected by the bush administration in january and then the obama administration comes in and approves it and expedites it and even thought about doubling down on it. although they didn't to their credit. and we've been trying to get some documents and we've got a lot of documents and the minority has pointed out the and the treasury department has provided documents on a voluntary basis. but the white house has not. and if you read the letters that mr. upton sent and the letters that the white house responded to him, the bottom line is that the white house says it's not necessary. almost, i think, a verbatim quote. so we want to get the facts. and the only way to get the facts is to issue a subpoena. some have said that our subpoena request is too broad. well, i was oversight chairman when the republicans first came in to the majority back in 1995. and we took the language almost, if not exactly, verbatim from oversight requests that mr. dingell had been using when he was full committee and subcommittee chairman. i will at the appropriate tim

and as does the administration. many regard natural gas as a bridge from the traditional dependence on fossil fuels of a certain kind to more renewable energies. so there's great potential there, this great promise, but if that promise is as tremendous as it appears to be, we need to move i think in a deliberate and careful way, make sure this practice is done properly and safely. and if you look at the marcellus shale which is sort of the recent gold rush opportunity that is being viewed from the natural gas industry, the footprint is substantial, talking about new york, pennsylvania, west virginia, virginia, western maryland, parts of western maryland that are implicated by this potential. so, we've got to make sure that we are doing this in a smart and prudent way. and i commend you for wanting to get more information about the process. and for starters, just what's in this composition of chemicals that goes into the process. and as i understand it, the agency is going to be insisted on more disclosure with respec

[laughter] having said that, let me say that we have moved forward with an oil and gas -- >> i understand that. >> program that we're developing oil and gas. let me give you an example to support the facts as stated them. there was a huge outcry from many people that we should have shut down even the production side during the national crisis of the deepwater horizon. we did not do that and we have worked very hard. some people on my staff have worked 18 hours a day, six, seven days a week to make sure that we had the kind of program within the department of interior that can allow safe oil and gas drilling and production to move forward and we are at that stage and the acreage we're making available this year and next year under the new plan will continue that program forward. >> but let's just talk about the facts because you said we want the facts. the facts ar

but i thought that as for the developments that ensued the administration had no c. played no role in ousting prothro from party leadership there is in people that had almost unanimously elected as the party leader in june voted him out in september also next unanimously. obviously the administration could never have influenced the vote of so many delegates but they got to you have surprisingly discipline part of members they voted to proffer one toll so then they voted seamounts when they would still choose a bad guy the same general get still so what if you don't wrong a magic. he could have fallen out of the kremlin people but how could he says an entire posse ok when i discuss mr prosser of right now of course if you find that interesting we're discussing your politics members so what is a really high level of party discipline. in the situation was a very simple instead of continuing to position the right course as a liberal or at least a right wing party is a broker of decided to position himself rather than the party as a politician with different views which de

i don't know if the administrative law judge necessarily is the best solution. my experience is that there are benefits and limitations in terms of what they are able to do and the authority that they have. to the extent that you want the strongest possible tool for investigation and implementation, i don't know if it is the way to go. i would say yes to the finding but not necessarily to the recommendation. supervisor farrell: i will be happy to support that. i would concur with finding number eight. pretty patently stated by the director, saying the to recommendation no. 7, specifically laying out the remedy here is too specific to get into right now for the board at this point in time. i say yes to a to and no to 7. >> i understand the intent, but i would say that in many respects, not only do not want to specify the committee, but in some respects, it doesn't go far out of. when someone makes a whistle- blower complaint, from the moment in that complaint happens, we in the city should be monitoring whether not any kind of action is taken in terms of the empl

what we say to give the administration the flexibility that they want, the administration makes that determination, the procedures to make that determination. who writes those procedures? we don't write them. by explicitly, the executive branch writes those procedures. can those procedures interfere with an ongoing interrogation or investigation? no. by our own language, it says that they shall not interfere with interrogation or intelligence gathering. that's all in here. the only way this could interfere with an operation of the executive branch is if they decided to interfere themselves in their own operation. they are given explicitly the authority to write the procedures. i think we ought to debate about what is in the bill, and what is in the bill is very different from what our colleagues who support the udall amendment have described. yes, we are at war and yes we should codify how we handle detention, and this is an effort to do that, and as the administration says itself, we are not changing anything here in terms of section 1031, we are simply codifying existing law. the is

that's what we're taking away from the administration. it was well practiced during the bush presidency, and it has been well practiced by the obama presidency and virtually every professional organization connected to the handling of terrorists and the intelligence thereof says to change it is a mistake. so the amendment i'm offering limiting mandatory military custody to detainees outside the united states is, i believe, a major improvement in the underlying bill. it removes the uncertainty that will occur if military custody is required for detainees captured inside the united states. frankly, i would prefer that the provision be struck in its entirety as i don't believe we should be creating a presumption of military custody over the law enforcement route. that's not what this country is about. you know, there is posse comitatus, the military aren't supposed to be doing these things. but if there is going to be a provision, it should at least do no harm to our ability to detain, to interrogate and prosecute terrorists. so i ask for my

administration, continuing with the obama administration. >> it started with the bush administrationh the obama administration. both administrations were in favor. we don't call it a bailout here. we call it the bridge loans. we have a quaint idea that we actually pay back the government. those of us from michigan, obviously the auto industry is our lifeblood here so we were supportive of the bridge loans. >> you think the rhetoric is too heated that what was done for gm and chrysler? you said we don't call it a bailout here. a lot of republicans running for president call it that. >> you know, i think in that case i would say obviously they all think there should have been more of a private sector solution, not a government solution. but i would say that ship has sailed now. the auto industry is coming back a bit. i think now we have to look at the kind of policies each of the candidates are putting forward to focus on how we go forward not only for the auto industry but manufacturing in particular. all the auto suppliers, et cetera. i do think governor perry's plan will best positi

adopted by both the bush administration and the obama administration and that has been upheld in the federal courts. moreover, the bill requires for the first time that any detainee who will be held in long-term military custody anywhere in the world would have access to a process that includes a military judge and a military lawyer. i want to repeat that, mr. president. for the first time, this bill provides that in determining a detainee's status, that that detainee will have access to a lawyer and to a military judge. that is not the case now. nor would the bill preclude the trial of terrorists in civilian courts, as some have erroneously asserted. as a matter of fact, mr. president, it's the contrary. the bill expressly authorizes the transfer of any military detainee for trial in the civilian courts at any time. an amendment that eliminated that authority was defeated in the armed services committee on a bipartisan 19-7 vote during the markup of the initial bill. the bill would not require the interruption of ongoing surveillance operations or ongoing law enforcement interrogati

what we say to give the administration the flexibility that they want, the administration makes that determination, the procedures to make that determination. who writes those procedures? we don't write them. by explicitly, the executive branch writes those procedures. can those procedures interfere with an ongoing interrogation or investigation? no. by our own language, it says that they shall not interfere with interrogation or intelligence gathering. that's all in here. the only way this could interfere with an operation of the executive branch is if they decided to interfere themselves in their own operation. they are given explicitly the authority to write the procedures. i think we ought to debate about what is in the bill, and what is in the bill is very different from what our colleagues who support the udall amendment have described. yes, we are at war and yes we should codify how we handle detention, and this is an effort to do that, and as the administration says itself, we are not changing anything here in terms of section 1031, we are simply codifying existing law. the is

the second thing the administration has done has created the race to the top program.r for states and schools to receive additional funding in education, they have to enter a chance of getting additional educational supports. unfortunately, both barack obama and arranne duncan say educatios the civil rights issue ofvl2imb generation. >> that sounds like a free market solution, right? do free market solutions wok for education? >> very often they don't. even when we had the discussion, we're talking about charter schools, and bringing inráuq)ri of competition. the reality is,often times we find that our public schools don't rise to that level of competition. feel they don't have the resources they need, that charter schools have additional resources, they cannotd@sg axfa businesses, where competition may require one group too win and another group to fail. we can't afford that in education, we need all our young people to do well. i think this free market: $ráhp& and we see that on the ground. >> you work for a school board in a major american urban city. have you seen

i never let them see a day in court the obama administration has also decided not to prosecute anybody from the bush administration for the torture and other atrocities that were committed and to be honest we don't even really know if people aren't still being tortured it may not be americans that are doing it is jeremy scahill reported a few months ago we have proxy prisons set up in somalia where detainees are not treated so kindly all cia black sites in afghanistan were shut down we still have secret prisons across the country that are now just being run by the military and special units and instead of capturing and torturing as an overall strategy we now have been in ministration that has decided to focus on killing so the legal business never has to get their way. as you know that killing is extended to taking out an american citizen and we're all a lot without any due process so while president obama may have outlawed torture and stands by that decision he's got a lot of explaining to do on why his continued and even expanded upon other bush policies but our mainstream media they
