the clerk: to the congress of the united states, section 202-d of the national emergencies act, 50 united states code 1622-d, provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless within 90 days prior to the anniversary date of its declaration the president publishes in the federal register and transmits to the congress a notice stating that emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date. in accordance with this provision, i have sent to the federal register for publication the enclosed notice stating that national emergency declared with respect to foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the middle east peace process is to continue in effect beyond january 23, 2015. the crisis with respect to grave acts of violence committed by foreign terrorists who threaten to disrupt the middle east peace process that led to the deck layeration of a national emergency on january 23 1995, has not been involved. terrorist groups continue to engage in activities that have the purpose or effect of threatening the middle east peace process and that are hostile to the united states' i

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

it's time the hyde amendment was codified in the united states code. h.r. 7, the no taxpayer funding for abortion act sponsored by representative chris smith of new jersey, would do just that. it would codify the two core principles of the hyde amendment throughout the operations of the federal government. namely, a ban on federal funding for abortions and a ban on the use of federal funds for health benefits coverage that includes coverage of abortion. as hundreds of thousands of people from across the country come to washington to express their love of unborn children at the annual march for life it is a marvelous time to reflect on what could be accomplished if the bill we consider today were enacted into law. during the time the hyde amendment has been in place, probably millions and millions of innocent children and their mothers have been spared the horrors of abortion. the congressional budget office has estimated that the hyde amendment has led to as many as 675,000 fewer abortions each year. let that sink in for a few precious moments. the pol

code and equipment standards. progress for renewables renewable energy has surged over the past decade and the united states has set the goal to double energy production by 2020 compared to 2012. however there is always the budget. there is no explicit national policy mechanism to ensure the country reaches this target. renewable portfolio standards, so good federal government employed fiscal mechanisms and lending mandate among other tools to support renewable deployment and the durability of some existing federal incentives such as energy production tax credit, for wind, remains the uncertainty. and another extension of the investor confidence contributes to develop an annual wind blow. lack of clarity over blending levels and renewable fuel standards has created difficulties for renewable transport fuels. this lack of long-term policy durability represents a challenge for investments and has to be addressed. more balanced approach would extend the p t c for six years while reducing its level for the basis and this will provide greater investment uncertainty and continued cost reduction. i agree with ernest moniz

look for ways to move jobs and attacks, at least on paper out of the united states to countries with lower tax rates. over time our tax code has become increasingly loaded down with special-interest loopholes that the auctions and assorted tax subsidies. some were good ideas at the time but have now passed. others were giveaways from the beginning. the end result is a system rife with industry-specific breaks with the widely disparate effective tax rate providing incentives that do not reflect what our economy needs today. recent oil and gas producers are rewarded with a number of special-interest tax breaks that unfairly reduce the taxes of oil companies far below what other industries like retail and manufactures pay on theirs. with all these loopholes the current tax system makes it too hard for businesses to launch grow and invest in the united states. it's too hard for businesses to create the middle-class jobs or country needs and it's too hard for u.s. businesses to compete with companies headquartered overseas. moreover our business tax system is far too complicated particularly for small businesses. one estimate s

whether you look at trade, exporting, the tax code, we, in the united states, are doing well, despite the fact that we have a one arm -- have one arm tied behind her back. whether it is the tax rate we have talked about. whether it is a fact that we have fewer trading partners than many of our allies to around the world -- do around the world. can you tell us why, particularly on trade, opening up additional markets and giving the president tba is important -- tpa sooner rather than later in ohio and other states? >> so, it is important now because we are not fully employed. we don't have everybody who wants to work at work. and additional opportunities to access markets and bring people in the workforce are especially important right now. second thing is, we will be in at the ground floor of setting the rules for those trading arrangements. if you are on the sidelines, roles are written in the ways that are probably undesirable. the third thing that is important is that, ultimately, we will expect us to get back to full important -- full employment. that is better income. that means
