agents not to inspect or place into removal proceedings illegal aliens they encounter violates 8 united states code section 1225 which expressly -- expressly sur tails the president's discretion concerning inspection and detention of aliens not lawfully admitted to the united states. he goes on to say another point -- quote -- "granting advance parole to deferred action recipients so that they may travel back and forth between the united states and their native countries violates 8 u.s.c. section 1182 d-5. amended in 1996 specifically to prevent the use of parole to admit aliens who do not qualify for admission under established legal immigration categories." close quote. another one. quote -- "granting work permits to millions of illegal aliens ignores nearly a century of case law, including supreme court decisions, holding that the executive branch may not sir circumvent the statutory employment-based visa system by opening the labor market to aliens not eligible for such visas, thereby defeating congress' purpose of protecting american laborers from an influx of skilled and unskilled labor." clo

they have changed for the united states because during the war, the united states used the lieber code, a code of war, code of conduct written by francis lieber. francis lieber had spent most of his life in columbia, south carolina as a professor at the college of south carolina, which later became the university of south carolina, and lieber's code sets out further rules for the prisoners of war, but they are not substantially different than existing rules. the only difference is the united states is now explicitly codified a more -- a few more rules and the united states has made it clear it expects its soldiers and its enemies to abide by these rules. well the confederates can say, we are not under your code, the confederates were certainly aware the lieber code was out there and could be used against them. we have heard talk about general sherman. he marches to georgia under the lieber code and there are times when he orders the execution of his own troops for violating the lieber code. there are northern troops, for instance -- sherman's office was finding a covered wagon full of

units. the state law or government code authorizes this kind of approval and it caps it at an increase of 35 percent and provides formulas for calculating the required number of additional bmr units that are required. housing redevelopment plan also allow for density bonuses but caps maximum at 25 percent. ahead of these rules provides a framework of density bonus. so moving to the design portion of the item. here is a high level site map of the hill top in phase one as you see block in 56 and 57 depicted on the bottom right. they are around the square park. before i go any further i want to introduce the lots 56 and 57. please stand when i call your name. mr. ian batchel and adams, and aaron spyingey, rosh core. >> the name again? >> rosh core. i practiced that one earlier. so here you see a summary of the development housing data with a proposal today before you. the unit counts have increased in the 1-2 bedroom categories. here you can see the blocks have a mix of 1, 2, 3 bedroom units. they have an average square footage of 1025 square feet to over 1200 square feet. before i call mr. bat

state street and those are all hr already 2 units built. that's going to be built pretty well unless you allow for the planning code with more units. the downhill side of state street is quite a bit difference in pedestrian, states is the long and single long street in the city of san francisco. the block is quite different. i know commissioner richards has been up there. but this is what you look at when you are a pedestrian in front of 22 and 24 ord street. it's a big tall fence. it's been there. the dog thought it was very interesting. there used to be some chickens on that side of the fence. it's mostly fences and garages in that mid-block area. so providing housing on that, i think the developer is providing an alternative to having a big massive structure down on ord court and that alternative might be given consideration. i will say there is going to be some impacts. it's real easy to park up there and they are going to lose some parking spots. we are already losing parking spots because 214 state street is putting up garages there and it's going to be tough and you lose your views. from the basement where i stayed you had gr

he's a noted expert on a lot of things but especially united states tax code. mr. president, we've heard speeches on this floor about the complexity of the tax code. that is a monumental assignment. i understand the tax code. he does perhaps better than anyone in washington. he actually wrote the tax reform act of 1986. that was the famous bradley gephardt legislation. for four decades he's played a role in every important piece of tax legislation that has become law in our country. office of legislative counsel, does work for the united states senate. not democrats, not republicans, but all of us, including our staffs. and what they do, they write bills to create programs while also drafting amendments to have some effect on these programs, sometimes wiping out these programs. this impartiality is the key to the success of the senate and it's something that we don't often consider how we get to a point where we are. this massive bill that we're going to deal with today, legislative counsel's imprint is on that, and one they're going to work on today in the house,

united states. you have a country like -- that don't have tradition with law. i think the important thing is what does obama not prosecuting, say for the future. in the united states it says in the penal code may be a crime but in fact is a policy option for the next president who is panicked after a terrorist attack. you can maimagine around the world, if the u.s. can get away with it, what does it say to torturers around the world in less savory countries. >> this is a real push to other countries to release prisoners, it is welcomed in many circles, it's high time, do you think that's the administration trying to mitigate. >> i think the administration is trying to double down on its legacy. >> does this wash away that legacy? >> no way. they have the huge question mark that this president may pushed through executive action but the big mark on his legacy is there are little differences between his and bush administration. the fact is it's been much more alike in the context of national security the policies of the obama administration compared to those of the bush administration so they're working hard to burnish a credential so they can talk about list legacy at the end. >> do you thi

the clerk: h.r. 5462, an act to amend title 49 united states code to provide for limitations on the fees charged to assengers of air carriers. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will entertain requests for one-minute speeches. the gentleman from texas. for what purpose? brayden murdoch mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent -- mr. brady: mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous materials on the subject of this special order for ralph hall for one hour. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. the gentleman will suspend. under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2013, the gentleman from texas, mr. barton, is recognized for 60 minutes as the designee of the majority leader. mr. barton: i thank the distinguished speaker. i want to thank the speaker for granting us this special order to honor congressman ralph hall of the fourth congressional district and granting us this time today. although congressman hall has been sidelined by recent accident, he's blessed to be on

united states. mr. sar also frksz f worked on the kriptology section of cuban nationalists. he worked in the cuban intelligence director. he was an expert on the codes that cuban spies in the united states used to communicate back home to havana. for example, one of the things that we know about this woman, anna montez, who's described as one of the most damaging spies in american 4is ri, one of the things we know about her case is she specifically used a toshiba laptop computer to compose the encoded messages that she sent back to her handlers in havana. she sent them using this specific laptop. part of the way the f.b.i., and then ultimately, the way the pentagon caught her, is that they had been tipped off, somehow, to that specific fact about her. to the fact that she was specifically using a toshiba laptop computer to make those communications. when investigators realized they had a mole in the pentagon, they did all fashioned detective work looking at who had access to the kind of information that was being sent to cuba. they tried to narrow down the list of suspects. when it came time to pinpoint the actual individual, they were able to do it

i wants to move them to a site in the united states, and i know that tom and i disagree with that, but that would be changing the zip code. then there is the idea of guantanamo. and the idea is holding men without charge or trial. president obama should be repudiating that idea, which is much more dangerous than the location of the facility, but he actually embraces it. and if he can't move these men to the united states, he can only keep them at guantanamo. >> courtney sullivan, is it as stark and clear as that for you? >> i think it's a little more nuanced for me. i think that there is a middle way. there are probably--the people people--the president has accepted the wartime construct that you can detain people who were involved in the war during the time of war. and whether those people become less dangerous and you release some of them is what is happening now. i think the president can override congress, or congress can change its mind to bring them to the united states and try them in federal court. but i think the third category of what do you do with people who are deemed too dangerous to release is the sticky w

the united states government enacted a law. neil: it is a stupid code.makes no sense. >> i agree. is a total outrage and every american and should be offended at this lawsuit. he was trying to break into our country with 50 pounds of drugs on his bread -- the back the border patrol agents were trying to apprehend the cold war's one was running away the other was resisting arrest and the dog was holding at bay and then again in the hand and now he wants to sue the u.s. government for injury? neil: so he will win the case i have no doubt it is not a great law but that is screwed up. there has to be away if i cannot sue as a legal citizen someone who breaks into my house to hurt themselves as they steal my wife's jewelry then maybe there should be a lot for that. >> it is convoluted. but the issue is if the officer that was discharging his weapon at this individual. >>:running away i think they were a little overwhelmed. >> i can tell you the good thing is that if the officer was acting properly it will be dismissed. that is the real question. neil: we're g

these people to work in the united states contrary to the prohibition of their working here in the statutes. that's where the statute is violated. i don't find anything in the code that authorized that wholesale grant of work for the president who has decided not to remove a proceedings for, and give a lawful presence in the united states and a lawful work authorization. that's the real nub of this. >> i want to come back to deportations quickl, but quickly, professor frost, wasn't it decided that arizona can't have its own immigration policy in effect. does that weaken some of the effort of the states here to say to the president, make certain demands and requirements in the way that immigration laws are enforced? >> i don't think those are directly related. arizona was saying--undocumented immigrants in our state are going to suffer more penalties more than what our federal immigration law provided. i think that's a different question whether states can pile on or add on more to our fellow immigration laws. here the states to be fair to what they're saying, they are a saying that the u.s. government has violated through its executive orders executive law. they
