that is recognized by the national register. host: of course, the president will be there later this morning for the wreathlaying ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier. we will have coverage of that on c-span. the arlington cemetery is marking its 150th anniversary. some might be surprised that wasn't on the list before this year. yeah, it took some time, i will say. i think the current superintendent and administration of the cemetery clearly recognizes the historic significance of the place. it is an active burial ground. so this is a special kind of historic place where people today are -- our veterans today are still being laid to rest. day. a good april 2014 is when the arlington national cemetery went on to the national register. my organization, the national trust for historic preservation, couldn't be more pleased with that result. host: some have been critical about the oversight and preservation tactics at that arlington cemetery. y? what has been happening? guest: i think from the perspective of some family membe

as the constituency of marie le pen, 33% voted for the national front. there's no eu flag but re-french ones. >> the eu has france in a headlock. it has lost its radiance and has nothing to say. we want to restore france to its former glory. >> the national front mayor took up office in march and locals are mystified at europe's apprise over the french vote. >> more and more people are on welfare. they don't have jobs and they don't have money. who should i vote for, the left or the right? i don't trust any of them anymore. >> even if the national front is far right, it's not like he used to be. >> but what is behind the party that has captured the imagination of the french people with such arguments? and now, he travels through france warning people away from the national front all stop >> i thought we could serve as a genuine counterweight to the e you. the national front is the only party that can affect change in france and which doesn't belong to the old, established click. a party with good chances and speaks the language of the people. >> his hope

bill we present today, i think reflects the nation's priorities. obviously if we had a larger allocation, we would invest even more in a variety of these priorities. i think some of the points the chairman has pointed to in human trafficking and err naughtics investments on the manufacturing side, there are a number of areas where you can see clearly that the chairman has taken extraordinary care to make sure that a number of items get the appropriate revenues that are needed so that we can truly make a difference. so we're anxious to have debate and get to the amendment and have the house work its will. i want to thank the majority as we come here today. we have an open rule. so the house will have an opportunity to work its will and yield -- at this time i reserve the remainder of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from virginia is recognized. mr. wolf: i recognize mr. rodgers, chairman of the full committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from kentucky is ecognized. mr. rogers: i rise in support of thi

why is the french national anthem at the heart of the scandal in france?he far right, the national front party, has called on the justice minister to step down. why? during an official ceremony over the weekend, she refused to sing -- well, she didn't refused to sing, she just didn't sing it. she defended her decision by saying that it was a moment of reflection for her, and she didn't want to participate in "karaoke in a public platform." now, this sparked renewed outrage in the national front party, saying that this was proof of her contempt for france. this points out that attacking her for the fact that she did llaise" isla marsei pretty low-level politics. the article points out that it is ethically normal and even protocol sometimes for ministers not to sing the national anthem, especially if it is being performed by a military band. we have seen footage of other high profile politicians, including franÇois along, nicolas sarkozy, not singing. on that saturday when she was attacked, she was standing asked to the education minister, who wasn't singing

the united states. it was slow but good. police nation was with germany and they were the god father for a long time however germany wanted to build the police as they were law enforcement but many other donors were looking at the security force. just the sector was being built by another country was italy. some by the united kingdom and nddr by japan. the system wasn't coordinated by the different country. at that time, police could annex violators but the next day the justice system wasn't working so they would go loose. that is why the justice system and police were not coordinated well. however, since 2009, we saw that there was a more interest investment in police and that helped. whatever you see today, 140-150,000 police officers started with the serious actions in 2009. now with the context that the police was built in afghanistan was such that what you have today has many many problems as the law enforcement. the major question is what is going to be the future of police? is it going to become an arm of law enforcement to protect

i didn't say that, the republican national lawyers association member said that. rather than squandering our valuable resources pursuing a contempt vote that more than 30 independent experts have concluded will fail in court, we should release the nearly 40 transcripts in their entirety that have not yet been made public and allow all americans to read the unvarnished facts for themselves. with that, i reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. issa: i yield two minutes to the gentleman from ohio, mr. jordan. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. jordan: i thank the chairman for yielding, i thank the speaker. here's what we know. lois lerner was at the center of the scandal from the get-go. we know she waived her fifth amendment rights, on two separate occasions, she came in front of committee, as che chairman pointed out and made multiple factual statements. when you make fultpl factual assertions you can't say, i invoke my fifth amendment privileges. she waived it a second time wh

the lead nation was germany. germany was the godfather. however, germany wanted to build the police. just as there were being built by another country therefore it is different country. at that time the police could arrest violators. that's why the police building of the force did not go very well. 2009 we saw that there was more interested in investment. that actually helped. that actually started to draw serious attention. who says the what you have today has many, many problems facing the police. the major question is what is going to be? it is going to become a problem of law enforcement to protect the population or a security force to protect the state? unfortunately with the upsurge of violence in 2006 there was a rush. that continued today. there was not the kind of force that would resolve the best forms of fighting insurgency. protect the population. by itself it becomes an asset. when i was looking at the challenges facing today in afghanistan i counted to ten and stopped. the first one was the number. they say 850, 700,000. it w
