and when it no longer becomes easy to underfund nondefense agencies, my suspicion is that nondefense programs will begin appearing in o.c.o. and there is some precedent to this. for example, in f.y. 1992, congress added funds to the defense bill for breast cancer research. at the time, discretionary spending was subject to statutory caps under the budget enforcement act of 1990, the follow-on legislation to the gramm-rudman-hollings act of 1985. so you have a situation where you were capping discretionary domestic spending, but defense spending was uncapped, and this is the situation that we are, i think, re-creating in this conference report. that initial funding led to the establishment of the congressionally directed medical research program. and every senator i think is familiar with this important program, and it has strong bipartisan support. each fiscal year congress authorizes hundreds of millions of dollars for cutting edge medical research. since fiscal year 1992, this program has received over $13 billion in funding. and while this program is funded through the annual defe

the response to the crisis has been dreadfully underfunded with a nearly two-thirds funding gap.f course the problems we need to address are many, and they are difficult. and it's true that they can never be a solution to the refugee crisis until the underlying root causes are addressed. and that means finding an end to the fighting. an end to the terror. and the removal of assad power. but we need to be less reactive and more proactive. we need to start thinking of ways no the just to address the refugees' most immediate needs but the needs that they face in the years to come. and we can't do it alone. we need to press our european friends and partners in the middle east and africa to step up and do more. we need to do a lot more to ensure that the needs of the host communities in syria's neighbors are being met as well. because this has taken a very big toll on their resources, and it is leading to increased tension between the communities. there's a pervasive feeling of hopelessness and despair that will have long-term impact on the region and beyond. syrians, for the most par

senator i've talked about mow -- how in too many cases our criminal justice system is a pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowd jails. and we've taken steps to address this. i signed a bill reducing the 11 -- 100-1 sentencing disparity between crack and powdered cocaine. commuted the sentencing -- sentences of dozens of people convicted under ole drug laws we now recognize are unfair. we've focused on the worst offenders and pursuing mandatory minimum sentences less frequently. still, much of our criminal justice system remains unfair. in recent years more of our eyes have been opened to this truth and we can't close them any more. good people of all political persuasions are eager to do something about it. over the next few weeks i'll travel the country to visit a community battling prescription drug and heroin abuse, speak with leaders from law enforcement who are determined to lower the crime rate and the incarceration rate and with police chiefs who have dedicated their careers to keeping our streets safe. i'll meet with prisoners woshing to earn their second chance and meet with leade

i believe we can disrupt the pipeline from underfunded schools to overcrowded jails. i believe we can address the disparities in the application of criminal justice round arrest rates to sentencing to incarceration. and i believe that we can help those who have served their time and earned a second chance, get the support that they need to become productive members of society. thisver the course of year, i've been talking to people around the country about reforming our criminal justice system. to make it smarter, there, and more effective. inventory, i sat down in the oval office with police officers from across the country. in the spring, i met with police officers and young people in camden, new jersey, where they are using committee policing and data to drive down crime. over the summer, i visited a prison in oklahoma to talk with inmate and correctional officers about rehabilitating prisoners and preventing more people from ending up there in the first place. do weeks ago, i visited west virginia to me with families battling prescription drug and heroin abuse. as

appeals have remained significantly underfunded and recently resulted to cuts in food aid and cash assistance. lack of supplies is leading to begging, child labor, survival sex and increased debt. the world can and must do better. it's imperative when we talk to our allies particularly in the gulf countries that we emphasize the necessity of meeting the humanitarian need of these refugees. while the united states has been the leader we've fallen short in absorbing refugees. jordan has absorbed half a million. lebanon 1 million and turkey 2 million but since the 2011 the united states has taken in roughly 1,500 syrian refugees most in the past year. this is simply not acceptable. last month as ranking member deutsch mentioned i asked the administration to raise the number to 100,000 syrian receive fufgys by the end of 2017. there's precedent for this. the united states welcomed approximately 200,000 refugees during the balkan wars and more than 700,000 refugees from vietnam. while i was pleased that the administration raised the quota, i fear it isn't enough to make an impact. of course, the u

there's desperate underfunding. we would be grateful if some consideration could be given to increasing the number of syrian refugees taken in the united states. we would also appreciate if some -- we appreciate it's difficult and the sovereign decision of the united states but some effort on reducing the processing time, which is quite lengthy. pushing the increasing funding through the u.n. system. so chairman that's really all i will say in addition to my written submission. we're very grateful for this opportunity. it's a huge challenge. we really in europe are very committed to facing this challenge. i think we can be proud of much that has been done. perhaps some things could have been done differently or better. but we will continue to face this crisis with the full basis of our humanitarian values, our commitment, to treating refugees fairly, and to providing hopefully assistance where it's needed. but most importantly political solutions that get to the root causes of why people flee their homes. >> you men

. >> what about our public schools, particularly in urban areas, where they're underfunded and under-resourced and there aren't teachers to train science and math? mr. rubio: the k-12 educational system is a primary obligation of the local and state government. where the federal government gets involved on occasion is helping key segments of our population through funding mechanisms, through the title 1 programs, through head start and so forth. my argument is not to cut those programs. my argument is that money should follow the child, not the child have to follow the money. i would allow people to use that money to access innovative programs. that's one of the reasons i talked about opening up pell grant to dual enrollment. at the front end i believe that pre-k through 12 education should remain in the control of local jurisdictions. >> what could you do as president to ensure there's more funding for science and math? mr. rubio: i believe that k-12 education belongs at the state and local level. both in its responsibility and its funding. it's never been a federal obligation. you don't want

they have purposefully underfunded this.ou choose the word "migrant" and "refugee" rather than immigrant. >> a refugee is someone who is being persecuted in their home country, and their fling harm. this is what i saw 14 months ago when i went to honduras. i saw children -- you know, we spend billions of dollars to stop the flow of drugs coming from venezuela and colombia of the caribbean corridor to the dominican republic, jamaica, haiti. we spent all of this taxpayer money and want to the narco's do? they rerouted and are now landing four or five narco flights in honduras. they're trying to control that turf to move drugs north to us, the largest consumer of illegal drugs on earth. we use one in four illegal drugs on earth. they are recruiting children to control that turf, to serve as lookouts, to sell drugs in those their rights, and to work to kill people, ultimately. i saw children as young as 11. i spoke to an 11-year-old boy interviews i did for "the new york times" and he said, i'm 11 years old and the six grade, an
