the third bill is actually the funding bill for the legislative branch of government. maybe if the legislative branch of government was doing its job we'd have a legislative reform bill before us but no. my colleague is speechless because he knows as well as i do that this is not immigration reform and is instead a funding bill for members of congress' salary and the salaries of our staff. i guess that's more important than securing our border. i fwess that's more important to the republicans than restoring the rule of law. let me get into these three bills. the surface transportation act would extend authority of the government to fund our highways for two months. only two months. now, what that means is we risk wasting $51 billion and jeopardizing that funding, risking over 660,000 jobs, by failing to do a long-term authorization of the highway trust fund. we all have an interest in this. any one of us can talk about the importance of transportation in our districts. if you've ever been to colorado, you know that there's one major artery to get to our world class ski

they think the bill has to be fixed. so let's be clear, the people who say we have to fix the bill with perfecting amendments include the american public health association the public health nursing section, the asbestos disease awareness organization, the consumers union, the institute for agriculture and trade policy, the national disease clusters alliance, the national hispanic medical association the birth defects research for children, physicians for social responsibility the maryland nurses' association, the massachusetts nurses' association, the national association for hispanic nurses, the association of women's health obstetric and neonatal nurses, the bladder cancer advocacy group the breast cancer action the breast cancer fund huntington breast cancer action coalition kids versus cancer, lung cancer alliance it quos on and on -- itt( goes on and on. i ask unanimous consent to put the full list of these groups into the record. >> without objection. >> so i say to my colleagues, the vitter-udall bill is much bett

like the other bills." unquote. that was the agreement. the distinguished senator from oregon knows that was the agreement, that we were going to lump the two together, the t.p.a. and t.a.a. although, i would have preferred to have those two voted separately. but we agreed to do that because there was concern on the democratic side that maybe we wouldn't put t.a.a. out. that was a ridiculous concern because we know that t.p.a. can't pass unless you give the unions what they want on t.a.a. and so we grit our teeth and we're willing to do that. so we put them together, so we can accommodate again. and it was completely understood that the next two bills would be voted on separately. and, senator schumer knew and said so that he realized it would give the house a very, very bad stomach ache, because it probably couldn't put this bill through with that language on. i even agreed with senator schumer that we could have hearings later. he could bring up a bill. we'd have hearings. we'd have a markup. -- we'd have

the d.c. bill stops employers from job discrimination based on the reproductive health decision of employees. their -- employees, their spouses or their dependents. to name just a few of the horribles permitted by this resolution employers may fire a woman for having an abortion due to rape. or a man for using condoms. or to use actual examples in the united states today, emily herks of indiana was fired for using in vote row fertilization to become pregnant. jennifer maudlin of ohio was fired for having nonmarital sex. and becoming pregnant. christina diaz of ohio was fired for using artificial insemination to become pregnant. sheila evansson of montana was fired for using artificial insemination to become pregnant. michelle mikuska of new york was fired foring in nonmarital sex and becoming pregnant. the d.c. bill is constitutional and legal. under the u.s. constitution laws may limit religious exercise if they are neutral generally applicable and rationally related to a legit -- legitimate gover

we know the tpa bill wasn't the only bill reported from the finance committee in april. we reported a bill to reauthorerize trade adjustment assistance. a bill to reauthorize some trade programs and a custom and enforceal enforcement bill. we heard rumblings a few days before beginning and heard statements from some senators including those who were support supportive of tpa. but they were only going to discuss this if all four bills were debated and passed at the same time. that was never the agreement. these new demands brought forward at the 11th hour were problematic problematic. the custom bill faces a number of problems with the whitehouse and the house of representatives. my friends on the other side realized that. in this bipartisan effort we were making together. they recognized there was problems for both the whitehouse and house of representatives why were prevented from enacting it into law any time soon. i will not detail those problems mr. president, but i think most of my colleagues know what they are. i will say the problems existed from the beginning and

these three conditions are stipulated as strict limits in the bill. and the diet is necessary, needless to say. in a very limited manner we will allow for the use of the right of collective self-defense. but even then japan could involve itself in american war. some might be anxious. but to those who are anxious, i will explicitly mention that, that is absolutely impossible. the new japan/u.s. agreement stipulates this clearly japan will use force to protect its people. this is japan and the united states common understanding. if japan should be exposed to danger the japan/u.s. alliance will function fully and by sending this message to the world the deterrence of the alliance will be enhanced even further and the chances of japan being attacked will lessen further. that's what i believe. therefore, to label the bills as war bills is irresponsible and completely incorrect. the bills are strictly aimed at protecting the lives of the japanese people and their peaceful livelihood and for that end we prepare for all scenarios and prepare seamlessly, that's

in april the senate finance committee reported four bills out of the committee. each of these four bills addressed different trade issues. several of these bills contained amendments that the senate has spent months or years working to pass. as i stand here today senate democrats still don't know for sure the procedure of the republican leader, and i would say to my friend, the republican leader and everyone that i've -- that hears me say this is that using the logic of the republican leader then he should move to these four bills. he wants a robust amendment process which he talks about all the time, why doesn't he put this legislation before this body and we'll have a robust amendment process? the ranking member of the finance committee is here, is an experienced legislator, and he knows, he knows. he was here before the republicans put skids on any legislation for four years. he knows what the process was before then and he knows what the process is today and he knows the reason there have been a few things accomplished this work period -- and i mean a few -- i

over the last tpa bill. nk the way you -- negotiating objectives including labor and good governance of human rights. how you do with them force meant it's a major improvement and i complement you. i also want to believe that we need tpa authority to complete the tpp agreement and i hope we have a successful tpp agreement. let me say though that i hope we will have a chance to improve the tpa bill as we move forward through the process and let me tell you my concern. trade% opportunity. yes economic values being the type of people that we are in the principles that would advance. i am proud of our predecessors jackson-vanik who against all odds was able to get a major provision included in the trade that many said why are you putting this in the trade issue. the united states provide the leadership that brought down the apartheid government south africa by using trade rather than using voice. trade is a very strong tool that we have in this country. so yes i am concerned that we have adequate provisions in tr

the good work on this bill, mr. speaker goes back to the fact that the patriot act a piece of legislation crafted in haste and fear after the tragic events of 9/11, in my opinion pushed the boundaries too far. on the government's ability to surveil and gather information on people, including american citizens. the u.s.a. freedom act which i stand today to support, gos a very long way to restoring an appropriate balance between the imperative of national security and the civil liberty which is we hold so dear. this bill makes important reforms to the fisa court but importantly it prohibits, i'll say again, prohibit thinks bulk collection under section 215 under the pen register authorities and under national security letter statute the bulk collection of data on american citizens. americans will now rest easy, knowing that their calls or other records will not be warehoused by the government. no matter how careful that government is in the procedures itudeses to access those files. mr. speaker, whatever the legal inte

don't get me wrong, many -- most of the bills seen would offer new benefits for consumers. many consumers and privacy advocates, myself included question whether the new benefits outweigh the potential harm to state jurisdiction and to consumer existing protections. i'll focus on four potential shortcomings of federal legislation to be addressed to ensure any bill represents a net gain for all consumers. first federal legislation should not ignore the serious physical, emotional, and other nonfinancial harms that consumers could suffer as a result of misuses of their personal information. a bill that would both preempt state laws and condition breach notification, undemonstrated risk of harm could reduce consumer protections in 33 states, district of columbia, where the existing law has no harm trigger or one that's not limited to financial harm. second, federal legislation should not eliminate data security and breach notification protections for types of data currently protected under state or federal law. some current legislative proposals feature a narrow class of protec

let me again encourage members to work with the bill managers to get the amendments moving. we want to process as many amendments as we can that we know we already lost a week to needless filibustering and delaying of this bill, which means one less week to have amendments considered. so we need cooperation from the leadership across the aisle to ensure we don't lose any more time. our friends on the other side seem quite eager to let everyone know how uninterested they are in obstruction these days, but you'll not find a happier guy than me if that turns out to be true. so we'll see if they demonstrate the spirit of cooperation they keep telling us about as we continue to debate trade. either way members on both sides who recognize the benefits of trade to their constituents are determined to pass important exports and jobs legislation this week. i hope to see it passed by the same kind of overwhelming bipartisan margin we saw in the finance committee a few weeks ago. because voting to approve this bill is one way to prove you care about the middle class. it's one way to pro

the bill requires d.o.e. to provide a regular strategic analysis of science and technology activities within the department, identifying key areas for collaboration across science and applied research programs. title 7 proposes to cut red tape and bureaucracy in the d.o.e. technology transfer process. it allows contractor operators at d.o.e. national laboratories to work with the private sector more efficiency by delegating signature authority to the directors of the laboratories themselves rather than d.o.e. officers where it is valued at less than $1 million. it requires d.o.e. to assess its capability to authorize host and oversee privately funded fusion research and the next generation vision reracketor prototypes. currently the private sector has little incentive to build reactor prototypes due to uncertainty from the nuclear regulatory commission. in summary, mr. chairman h.r. 1806 sets the right priorities for federal-civilian research which enhances innovation and u.s. competitiveness without adding to

i am not an expert on the bill. people know how i feel about the legislation in generally but from an the best way to move forward is the best way to come up with a program in the same time so we should take a deep breath to without disparaging either side think the vote was important as the republican leader can understand i think we would be better off to have a say what goes on we believe that eliot for tier continue the process to move forward says bela for word right now but the process is not looking very good. >> will you yield for unanimous consent request? >> i ask unanimous consent of the ranking member is recognized to speak with the chairman of the senate finance committee derecognize to speak. >> the majority leader has entered a motion and to reconsider the trade legislation and i want to be clear to the majority leader and all colleagues but i am very interested in working with the majority leader and colleagues on the other side of the ideal to have a bipartisan path at the earliest possible time. 14

it -- that's not the point of this bill. the point of this bill is to defend the country. we heard a lot about the o.c.o. account and was called a slush fund. this president and presidents before him have asked for an o.c.o. account every year and not once has it been a slush fund. it has been used to defend the united states of america as this o.c.o. account that's in this bill will be used to defend the united states of america. the gentleman from massachusetts been around here longer than i have, but i'm sure he knows that the primary jurisdiction of the house for an amuf is with the foreign affairs committee and not with the armed services committee that was the committee of jurisdiction on this bill. the foreign affairs committee is awaiting for information from the white house. so maybe we can get that information from the white house get to work on amuf and get it to this floor. but the national defense authorization act is not the appropriate vehicle. and so ruled the rules committee and that's what's in this rule. you know i have heard a lot of talk about what's g

what do you think of the bill? and we are already hearing senator brown and warner say it is overreach. do you think senator shelby will have to dial it back to win the democrats? >> i don't know. i think there are real concerns on the democratic side about the bill. as far as how it will be handled i am just getting to go through it. my staff went through it extensively title by title. i think there is huge issues around the community bank issues that need to be dealt with. some of the other areas are where the division began. i don't know enough yet to answer. it semmes -- seems like that with every question you ask me. i have not had a conversation yet with shelby. i don't know what his plan is. obviously i don't want to participate in is a solely partisan effort that doesn't produce an outcome. back to my earlier comments, i think we understand a partisan effort on a banking bill is not going to produce an outcome. what i would like to see us do is figure out a way for an outcome. i hope that is where senator sh

the two bills work toward a similar end. they are about trying to drive more responsiveness in the system. the house bill is morof an incremental approach designed to empower the program manag who is the person in the government responsible for the success of the program.m. under the packard commission approach adopted years ago. the senate approach is more disruptive to the current system. on the one hand, it t is focused onon trying to achieve responsiveness. on the other hand, it completely changethe authority flow of commanfor acquisition. that is a huge change. vago: steve? steve: i would agree with the general charactezation of the bills. i would point out on onone hand the existing system is comparatively good at teaming up around problems, the flip is it diffuses authority and accountability. that is the thrust of the more disruptive proposals from the senate armed services committee, that is to concentrate authority and accountability and responsibility up. in that view, in military services as opposed to inin the of

and specifically some of the funding levels in the bill, measures in mind with the house budget resolution. so it shifts about $38 billion from the base budget to the overseas contingencies operations accounts. critics have called it a gimmick and said it's an end run around the budget caps existing on defense and nondefense spending. you yourself said it's not an ideal way to fund the department. i'm curious whether you believe there are long-term effects of paying for the military this way and also whether there's any hope for possibly having an actual bipartisan pudget deal by the end of this year? >> i've always got hope. and, o. there are long-term effects of doing things kind of in a just patch it together sort of way. and that's what this is. i think it's important for a member however, whatever category the funding may be under, when you add it together, the house budget meets the president's request within a billion dollars. so we put -- we categorize the funding a little differently but the net effect is the same level that the p

we will obviously be less agile with the house bill. it requires an expansive regulatory system to mask the level of oversight under the current program. i think the real problem here is it requires no retention -- data retention mandate. the u.s.a. freedom act does not require companies to hold the data sought by the government, and therefore the u.s. freedom act could be operationally useless as companies update their business model in response to changes in technology or market demand. the telephone companies all 1,400 of them, many don't want to go through the expensive process through the oversight that they need to have process. they want to sell phones. they are hearing a lot from customers that basically say i don't want to buy your phone if it's going to be subject to them listening to whatever i do and say is collected. well, first of all, that is factually wrong but it's a narrative that has been said over and over on this floor by some members that is absolutely wrong. it's just false. we need to have -- if we're going to go

can compare it with the ultimate bill of rights. you will see how madison cut and pasted the virginia bill of rights and coming up with a bill of rights. it is amazing story of principle. madison did think the central government had to be more energetic than it was in the articles of confederation, but he wanted to ensure it was limited. so why didn't james madison go along with mason, gerry and randolph's call for a bill or rights? for two reasons. he thought it would be either unnecessary or dangerous. unnecessary because the constitution is already a bill of rights by limiting, spelling out the powers of congress and denying the congress any powers that were not of specific -- and dangerous because madison thought that people might assume that if a right was not written down it was not protected he and the other framers thought that since our rights come from god and not government it would be a bad idea to assume that you can have a determinate list. but based on the opposition of these three dissenters, the anti-federalist geare
