that is the say the united states of america. the united states of america then is engaged in a debate about world war ii and the role in it. you should know that in the run up to the bombing of pearl harbor, the bombing of japanese forces of pearl harbor, hawaii, japan had made a very sustained and and not nonunsuccessful to woo black americans. all were united to a greater or lessor degree. so when japan bombed pearl harbor was this infrastructure of protokyo support that paul robeson began to chip at, was able to convince many black americans that their destiny and faith should rest with solidarity with washington in death match in japan rather than coming to the siren song of tokyo. you should also know, i should let the cat out of the bag, the next book i publish would be prototokyo and quite and paul robeson was able to chip away and woo black americans getting them to enlist in great numbers in the u.s. military where they played a pivotal role in fascist powers and particularly japan. no good deed goes unpunished and afte

there is also the primary responsibilities with the united nations and those responsible at the united nations for how these missions are deployed and supervised, etc. and how how the civilian personnel are expected to behave and making sure in fact they do carry that out or are held accountable. so, i guess my my point is this, have either one of you seen actions taken to deal with what i just said? is there a clear direction given by the united nations on the civilian personnel? is there clear supervision? is there clear training? is there a clearer way of being able to get the information on those who are violating so that they can be removed and held accountable? is there clear line of responsibility and accountability from the united nations to the civilians that are in the countries in which we have the un missions? >> to quick thoughts, first of all think it is important to note that secretary-general did remove the head of the un mission in car when these allegations and charges first came to light. i think that is the type of accountability that was long overdue and necessary.

so in some ways we're having progress in the united united ss with regard to recognizing revolutionary regimes. that is to say it took 58 long years to recognize the haitian revolutionary process, only 55 years to recognize the cuban revolutionary progress. so, obviously, we're making steady progress. and on that note, forward ever, backward never, all night, all day! we're going to fight for freddie gray! thank you very much.

it is suspected they use cuba as a gateway into the united states or canada. and without objection, i ask unanimous consent that this article be inserted into the record. what this article reflects is truly frightening, given the fact that cuba currently has zero document verification machines at any of its airports. they do not have any electronic means of trying to verify whether any of the documents being presented to them are, in fact, what they purport to be and authentic. so, there you have it. these are the concerns, and they are multifaceted and serious. we are here today not to elaborate on the merits of the administration's rapprochement with cuba, but to take a serious look, as is our job, at the national security implications of a policy that has been pushed through at breakneck speed with seemingly minimal regard for the security and safety of the american people. with that, i now recognize the ranking member of this subcommittee, the gentlewoman from new york, ms. rice, for any statement she may have. representative rice: thank you, mr. chairman,

the united kingdom?didn't join the eurozone in 1999. and only 19 of the 28 member nations of the eu have so far adopted the euro. only two nations, us and denmark, are not committed by treaty to do so and the rest recommitted to joining euro two months ago in brussels in the agreement that david cameron reached with other leaders. it's true we don't need to join the euro. we don't need to join the passport-free area of europe that's caused so many debates during the refugee crisis. we can opt out of some justice and home affairs measures. but the deal that our prime minister did in brussels in february cemented those opt-outs it gave us a few extra protections against being sucked into a european super state but didn't change things. the eu will still make laws for us in the same way. we can still be outvoted on almost anything and we are regularly. the european court of justice will still act as our supreme court. all of those same areas of our laws will be made in brussels. for example, it's the job of

more broadly the united states and vietnam are united in our support for a regional order, including in the south china sea where international norms and rules are upheld, freedom of navigation and overflight. lawful commerce is not impeded and where disputes are resolved through legal means in accordance with international law. i want to repeat that the united states will continue to fly, sail and operate wherever international law allows and we will support the right of all countries to do the same. even as we make important progress in the ways that i have just described there are areas where the two governments disagree, including on democracy and human rights. i made it clear that the united states does not seek to impose our form of government on vietnam or any nation. we respect vietnam's independence. but we will continue to speak out on human rights we believe are universal including freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of assembly. the right to organize and help improve their communities and country. we believe and i believe that nations are stronger and more

puerto rico became a part of the united states in 1898, and soon after congress created a special unit of puerto rican soldiers. they went on to fight for our country valiantly in both world wars and in korea. but throughout their service, they suffered persistent discrimination. for too long their contribution to our history has been overlooked. so today, today we are setting the record straight by giving them the highest award within our possession -- the congressional gold medal. cheers and applause] mr. ryan: i know a lot of people worked very hard to make this happen. and i just want to recognize just a few of them, the people who made this happen. first of all, commissioner pierluisi.

states and the united kingdom.ome of the great international partnerships have been between the leaders of our countries. roosevelt and churchill. truman and at play. thatcher and reagan. leaders who worked together to shape the world in which we live. in twod side-by-side world wars. in korea. in kuwait. and iraq. in afghanistan. and now in the area as we work andackle the threat of dash try to bring peace to that war-torn country. we fought for the nato alliance in the aftermath of the war. we stood firm with our allies to be sure that peace reigned in europe. today, the work that we do together to secure a more stable world continues as strongly as it ever has. our intelligence professionals work side-by-side in a seamless adult against the threat of terrorism. perhaps more than any two countries on earth, we share the fruits of those labors in a way that strengthens our mutual security and that of our allies around the world. but our relationship is about so much more than security. britain's states is biggest

the similarities of the united states of 1976 and the united states of 2016 are profoundly striking. we are now as we were then, i nation struggling to overcome the worst economic downturn since the great depression. all gears have been thrown into reverse. we are now as we were then facing growing pressure to improve progress for the poor who are often demonized as lazy slackers trying to cheat the system. all gears have been thrown into reverse. we are now, as we were then, responding to hostility and violence triggered by challenges to the status quo, whether a response to busing programs to integrate public schools, our resistance to commonplace police brutality today, all all gears have been thrown into reverse. have racial justice and race relations improved over the last eight years? does as our president wraps up his final time as president, cmdr. in chief, we begin to assess the progress black america has made under his administration. how well has the nation recovered from the worst economic crisis it has seen in generations? how much closer are we to the very important goa

be subject to attacked by the united states.he president has made that clear from the time he ran for office. with respect to al qaeda, where he ran in 2008 and said if we knew where osama bin laden was, even if he were in another country that we would not hesitate to take unilateral action against him. charlie: the president has also announced that he would send special forces to syria and said to me the would be doing a lot of things and have eyes on the ground and talking to people a.ing in and out of raqq there seems to be in a effort on this president, that he has held a strong position and will not reengage a large amount of american troops. he will get a lot of things done before he leaves office. tom: i think that is fair. there are a lot of things the united states can do between doing nothing and putting 100,000 troops on the ground and i think you're seeing that in both iraq and syria. the united states is focusing up on training those indigenous forces that can push back in defeat isis. it is a tough effort, but at t

and it's a good illustration of exactly what the united states has rallied behind the united states to defeat. reporter: lastly, are you worried that the iraqi government's inability to provide security in the capital is going to fuel the political instability that's been going on and which has been hampering critical elements of the anti-isil offense? mr. earnest: what is clear is the top priority of the government is the national security of iraq and protecting the citizens of iraq from this sort of sirens is their government's top priority. the administration, the united states government, has been of the strongly held view that the iraqi government is more likely to be successful in securing the country if they can succeed in uniting that country to face down the threat. that's what prime minister abadi has tried to do. he's worked hard across sectarian lines to build diverse support for his government and for the effort to degrade and ultimately destroy isil and that's why the united states has found prime minister abadi and the iraqi central government to be effective partners an

reach the united states. except for areas in which i used to drive submarines for a living, it would be vulnerable. it would be a marvelous weapon for coercing japan into saying no, you cannot allow u.s. ships to port of call in the case of a taiwan contingency. now i sit here. i have a -- perfectly internal consistent explanation for what china is doing that's almost certainly wrong. but absent a discussion about how china is thinking about these, i'm going to believe that. or the me version of me that is in the government is going to believe it. because you sort of pay those in the government to look out for the possibility of threats and do something about it. and so his security challenge unexplained becomes my security threat. and that is, i think, the linkage between the two why the distinction is so important. and yet another reason why some in depth dialogue between people with authority within their governments is in the interest of both countries. >> yeah, i notice that when the question about secur

an imminent threat to the united states. there were no threats to the united states at all. always best to act multilaterally. if it has to act unilaterally, we went into panama with nobody's consent. they were brutalizing our servicemen down there. we invade and get back in the united states. there are circumstances when that is appropriate. is always better on the executive and legislative. >> it would more likely be the exception than the rule. analysis one in the that secretary baker said, there are a lot of policy options between an invasion and doing nothing. that has to be part of the analysis. i agree with respect to secretary kerry that the political solution there -- we are working on that. it is important. we talk about the other things we need to do as a nation. it is important that we have a security's -- security problem with isis. the united states is going to have to lead an effort to eliminate that threat. last i agree with secretary baker, we have all men with obligations around the world. this obligates us to act with for some time as necessary. to isis, w

why the northeastern united states? why so much? why not the western united states? and the reason why is that fentanyl is so easily mixed into the powdered heroin which is preferred in the eastern united states as compared to the black tar heroin, which is preferred in the western united states, and so those are the preferred markets in the united states. being introduced into powdered heroin landed in the united states and we are increasingly seeing it being pressed into pill form. but fentanyl has found a market in the eastern united states probably because of those two reasons. mr. rubio: i spent some time in new hampshire in the last year and from that experience, found myself in a lot of small townships throughout new england that face an overwhelming problem, all of them that were specifically targeted perhaps because trafficking networks knew that they had smaller police departments. if you are a small township, you are not going to have a 1000 officer department. is that what they look for, in essence, looking for a place where they can set up where they can

and their separate unit. there is in the kitchen you could anyway, there is a clear connection the connection is honestly been there probably for as long as the house was that. you can also see this wall in question and you should question of all is in place. i don't really see any basis also i went out to the back of beautiful sunny day, and the project sponsor wants to go out about 4 feet to the rear which will line it up with the rear wall of the dr requester. which doesn't really make any difference because the dr requester still has this beautiful view to the south and to the south-to the western somewhat to the south also. which we will no longer have as looking over one-story building one story above grade building which is just bringing it into conformity with everything else on the block. then, the addition on the bottom the hill slopes very sweetly down toward the use event and there's a garage that comes off the easement. it difficult. they're making a additional down to that bottom level which wou

what's in -- in other words, what's in it for the united states? because we're going to give up some of our information. best practices, like for me, quite honestly, as a layman who has just used this -- this system and i've never worked in the system, but what best practices is cuba using that -- that we need to get to use in the united states? mr. fujimura: cuba is a member of icao, the 191 members. perry: right. fujimura: as a member of the international -- international aviation community, we have a shared goal in -- in security of our passengers around the world reaching their destination safely. that's a shared goal we have with the -- with the cubans and the 189 other members. rep. perry: i understand the shared goal. i'm looking -- it says "best practices," and it says that we talked about technical information on -- on -- on security and -- on aviation security and best practices. rep. perry: i want to know some examples. i want to know what we're getting that we wouldn't get otherwise. we're giving them access to our airports -- new york,

the united states stands against terrorism. so do certainly would have similar facility located in charleston south carolina, leavenworth kansas, or colorado. parents have chosen to wage -- terrace have chosen to wage war on the americans because of the fundamental meetings in which you bring ourselves. the september 11 attacks occurred before there was ever a guantanamo bay facility. as did the first world trade center bombing. and numerous other attempted attacks on united and interest around the world. operations from a secure facility outside of the continental united states and into charleston well not stop the propaganda. this line of thinking is giving the terrorist too much credit and too much validity. terrorists do not need a deal to hate us. they hate us on their own. second, the president contends that the presence of the facility and guantanamo bay is somehow a major impediment to our relationship with foreign nations. governor, my principal engagement outside the united states is admittedly on the economic develop

it's the right balance for the united states to strike. keyave an obviously strategic interest in asia and southeast asia in particular. we've a strategic relationship and across the board. an opportunity here to use the leverage of potential additional security relationships to leverage further progress on human rights. i'm not here to defend the human rights record. i do think informed about it could but it does provide us with additional leverage going forward. and really important is that this is a strategic step that takes into account's all those elements i mention >> to we raise the question of human rights. >> toiling can has said in a speech in may last month that there has been some progress on human rights. anywhere in relationship condition on more progress in human rights. >> a has been some progress but i don't think we should overstate that progress with respect to the regime in vietnam . the has been progress in terms tween theationship unstated vietnam and the security economic and other areas which are important to us. we

they were forced to flee to the united states. other came directly to the united states. once they came here, they heard immediately about each other. they had a social life together. they forged this intimate community in french philadelphia, these aristocratic liberal refugees. host: about what time are they arriving in the u.s. then? prof. furstenberg: they came after the war between france and britain started. they came in 1792. 1792-1793. these were incredibly turbulent years. the french revolution was causing wars across europe. the u.s. was in a state of major political turmoil over the response to the french revolution. the jeffersonian party, which would become a democratic party, and what would eventually become the federalist party were forming precisely in response to the french revolution. or just in terms of popular opinion, those probably in support of -- those strongly in support and those strongly opposed to the french revolution. the major event was the haitian revolution, which started in 1791 and continuing in these years. this major uprising of slaves

what -- in other words, what is it in the for the united states? we're going to give up our information. best practices for me as i layman who used the system -- never worked in the system -- but what best practices is cuba using that we need to get to use in the united states? >> cuba is a member of a 191 members. as a member of the international aviation community, we have a shared goal in security of our passengers around the world reaching their destination safely. that's a shared goal with the cubans and the 189 other members. >> i understand the shared goal. it says best practices and says we talked about technical information on security and aviation security and best practices. i want to know some examples. i want to know what we're getting we wouldn't get otherwise. we're giving them access to our airports. new york, jfk and miami, fort lauderdale and tampa, atlanta, all listed here, and they came to america. they're interested in collecting information. i'm not dumb and knee their are they. they know we're interested in collecting informa

that gave them the a scombloort in the united states congress -- them a majority in the united states congress. right now we see republicans much more focused on their relationship with the presumptive nominee than they are on things like passing a budget or passing funding for the zika virus, to avert a public health disaster. or passing much-needed funding to relieve the financial turmoil on puerto rico that's having a negative impact on three million americans who live there. we certainly haven't seen any action in either house of congress on funding programs to fight opioid addiction. we see the house trying to take victory laps on legislation that doesn't actually provide any money to ensure that anybody, any more people can get access to treatment. if republicans had much conviction about their agenda, they'd be trying to implement it now as opposed to trying to convince other members of the republican party or the presumptive republican nominee that what they propose is the right thing to do. if they thought it was the right thing to do, why wouldn't they be trying to implement

identity theft and tax fraud is a growing problem in the united states of america. as technology changes and as criminal syndicates target american citizens, their tax returns, we have an obligation to address this issue. this legislation does not go as far as i'd like and i urge my colleagues to look at h.r. 3831. and i am in support of the taxpayer protection act of 2016 which takes additionle steps to increase funding for taxpayer services and end the use of private debt collectors. so this bill is a step in the right direction. i congratulate its sponsor and a good example of how we can work together across the aisle is commonsense solutions for the american people. thing to is a good come. with that i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey reserves. the gentleman from ohio. mr. renacci: i yield two minutes to my friend from pennsylvania, mr. kelly. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from pennsylvania is recognized for two minutes. mr. kelly: i strongly support h.r. 3832. mr. renacci and i are good friends and

on the very day he arrived in the united states, mr. van iersel registered for the draft and enlisted in the army. he didn't speak a word of english. but he learned while working in an army kitchen. he was eventually assigned to the second infantry division and was deployed to france at the end of world war i. it was in france that mr. van iersel showed extraordinary heroism time and time again. he first gained notice when he and a comrade braved german gun fire to carry 17 soldiers to safety. he was then promoted to sergeant when he led a small reconnaissance patrol and found enemy trenches. it was there that he was able to use his native language of german to infiltrate them and convince the officer in charge to surrender 60 german soldiers. from there, mr. van iersel increased his efforts to gain information on german troop movements. in one particularly treacherous situation, mr. van iersel braved heavy fire to swim across the icy seine river. he overheard german soldiers discussing a heavy artillery barrage that would have wiped ou

this is justice and the united states will pursue this.ry jurisdiction that can bring charges against him will indict him. he will face charges in multiple juris ductions. his actions have adversely impacted citizens of the united states and therefore, the justice department will unleash all their fury and power on him, to make him pay, to make -- to try to seek justice, hopefully get convictions against him, and incarcerate him in facilities where i guarantee you, fred, there's no way he's going to break out. no way. >> that's right. >> so avery, you do not worry about a houdini act similar to what we saw in mexico? if any at all? >> no, that's mexico, fredricka pip mean, it's been -- >> but he's got friends everywhere, right? i mean -- >> well, that's exactly right. in fact, there was a skvery significant story this week, that the way he's been successful getting out of these penitentiaries in mexico is he's literally using gold bars. the fact that mexican officials along with the united states justice department officials have expedited

and it needs more implication of the united states. the united states has to be at the table. this crisis over the ukraine goes beyond ukraine, beyond europe, and into the geopolitical threat to many countries. that is the immediate focus we have to take. and the long run, we have to find a strategy how to define the security status of countries that do not belong to an alliance. the report calls them the countries in between. there is certainly a strategy needs that goes country by country. at issue is a particular situation. this is not enough. that is why our report asks for a comprehensive diplomatic initiative to rest these issues in the interest of the principles we have all agreed in the final act and in the paris charter. we should stick to it. this framework is solid. and it does not have to be rewritten. it just has to be followed. ivo: let's take the conversation to both parts of what you just talked about. jean-marie, you know where we are. we concluded and the one thing we agreed, 15 panel members including our russian colleagues, that the situation is dangerous.

today the atlantic ocean unites us more.r the nation open to trade with the world and committed to developing our fish, gas and oil resources. the norwegian coastline reaches to the north keeping a close eye on the development and the key priority for us for serving stability and predictability is in our own region that benefits the entire alliance and as close allies, we share common values and that is of course no coincidence. look for the inspiration and trusting the norwegian constitution. our common values remain steadfast. freedom, democracy for a quality and human rights. our values protect the nature of friendship and partnership that we hold dear. today it is a strong reminder of what we've achieved together but you know if there is more to be done. the countries have different roles to play in the international arena but you can achieve great things and to pursue the same good. mr. president, i would like to commend you on your leadership. your commitment to achieving progress in climate change was essential for th

in terms of family units we are ahead. in terms of total number of apprehensions on the border, and 2014 year-to-date 261,000. last year down to 182. right now we are at 223. i do not see improvement in terms of security of the border. it just has not improved, and it represents an enormous risk. >> thank you very much. first of all, unaccompanied children and family units pose a unique challenge because by and large those individuals fleeing that free central american countries do not seek to evade law enforcement. >> okay. i do not want you discussing that. i was pointing out that fact in terms of lack of security at the border. the total apprehension. >> and 2014 was far different and lower in prior years, but if i may, to the point of how we ensure the security of the border and specifically with respect to the terrorist threat, one of the challenges in the smuggling of individuals is the transnational criminal organizations and their participation. we have no evidence to suggest that they are willing participants in t

it was, i don't understand why anyone would possibly want to attack the united states. we are such a peaceful nation. all we want to do is go about living our lives with freedom and liberty, yet people seem to really hate us and it's impossible to understand why. the question that was asked of the mirkin people was -- of the american people was the famous "why do they hate us" question, and the u.s. government needed to provide an answer because people wanted to know why they were attacked. the answer was, they hate us for our freedom. what's remarkable about that, that was understandable because muslims and their grievances have been basically excluded completely from public discourse. the reason americans did not know that is because they were not subjected to it. they we never posed tit. years ler, heree a, after the united states has full-scaleo invasions and invasions of predominantly muslim countries, has bombed many others, has created a worldwide torture regime, has created a lawless prison in the middle of the ocean that has brought thousands of muslims, and ev

they expect the united states to be present. these countries expect the united states to keep its alliance obligations, that is to protect these countries. they expect us to continue to provide the nuclear umbrella that we have provided. and the region, again for three quarters of a century, do the thought experience. think about what this region looks like absent the u.s. engagement here. and that the under prime minister abe the japanese u.s. alliance has gotten i think as deep and as intense as it ever has been. the president also when he's in japan will also visit the memorial at hiroshima. >> an attack on japan, an attack on south korea, an attack on any other country will be met with what kind response? >> well, not any other country, the alliance countries. >> okay. >> i mean the other countries in the alliance. >> exactly, yeah. >> i think at that point the united states and we would stand together to defend gensz any attack. and what does that do? that makes a likelihood of any such attack much, much lower, right? you k

many of them are countries that receive aid from the united states. do not understand why we continue to send money to countries outside of the un that allow this type of abuse to take place? so i do not think we are using the levers that we have. we, i think, should be withholding payments until this ends or doing some level of reductions. and it does not seem to me -- it seems to me that this is not that important to the un, or they would have done much more about it over the last ten years. those people you talked to were some put -- somewhat fearful. but i just do not think that the united states is using the leverage we have to stop this. and i think the un is in great jeopardy of building enough critical mass where severe penalties should be taken against them with withholding of funds from them because of their ineptness, their lack of concern, their lack of care after ten years to continue to allow this to occur. so i hope factions and plan to be a part of actions taken against them. not a very important to them. otherwise this could have been

resolution, there was cooperation with the united states and with the leadership of the united states we were able to get china on our side. so that's what we need to be able to have more of. japan is in no position to talk about the next administration but as mentioned by ambassador king already, for example, in the united states, in the united states and the north korean sanction and policy enhancement act, it means that each country, as well as the international community must be united and i think in all countries such consensus is on the rise. so regardless of which choice the americans take on the next administration, i think there is already a strong president obama to pursue this issue and i'm sure that the u.s. government will continue to uphold its very strong level of interest towards asia and as a back drop, these symposiums are being organized, which hebs and and every american citizen a standing on these issues. >> i'd like to invite two important and distinguished guests to join us at the podium. grace jo was born in north korea. she almost starved to death as a child.

united states. for instance, the brothers in boston spent a decade in the united statebefore carrying out the bombs. nidal hasan was serving in the military when committing the attack. and unfortunately isis knows all too well the best way to attack america is have americans do it for you and that is why isis uses social media and the internet to radicalize americans at home. we have to do our west best to make sure when isis makes their recruitment pitch to americans the message falls on deaf ears. if isis is successful in radicalizing americans we must be vigilant that we can stop every terrorist attack well before an attack can be carried out. let me be clear, dhs, department of homeland security, are not alone in tackling the threat of homegrown terrorism. congress must help. all americans must help. we can start by taking actions to keep weapons out of the hands of terrorists here. we also need to improve the ability of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to detect homegrown terrorism
