walden. mr. walden: thank you, mr. speaker. i really want to thank members on both sides of the aisle and especially dr. burgess and mr. guthrie from kentucky who has an identical bill, the house companion bill to this one. senate bill 652 revises the public health service act expanding access to critical resources for the deaf and hard of hearing newborns and children. it will help these young patients and ensure that in turn they can help educate the patient's family members. this bill will also deliver relief to parents and caretakers of young children that have hearing loss, granting them important resources to aid in their care. again, the subcommittee vice chair, brett guthrie, is the author of the house companion. when our house today approves this legislation, which i assume it will, that means this bill will go to the president's desk and be signed into law. this is really important work that the energy and commerce is doing once again in a big and bipartisan way. it's an important bill that would expand access to crit

every level to come on board are getting out of the way retreating to walden bay from where they and one in your republican battle for the survival of american. crime and the fear it provokes are crippling our society limiting personal freedom and fraying the time. of those who commit repeated violent crimes should be told when you commit a third bottle of crime you will be put away and put away for good three strikes and you are now thanks. i get caught with a gram a dope one point five. i would hurt anybody but myself. you know i didn't give it to kids or anything like that and i go to court i would try to hear anything new or used it three strikes. and they gave me a twenty five year sentence up in a box just live with bigger than this for the last seventeen years to be locked up and treated as i've been treated here there's not a man alive that wouldn't feel the same way that i do now they've created a ball i hate. ya mean the pinotage. but you know something i've never. out and never been caught with anything i've got to get naked in front of females and these officers and i got

that led to more questions by house energy and commerce committee chair greg walden. >> how does this happen when so much is at stake? i don't think we can pass a law that, excuse me for saying this, but fixes stupid. >> reporter: smith was questioned about the selling of shares by three company executives after the breach was discovered. but smith maintains there was no play.l >> you believe this stock was sold as a matter of course as would be true in any other quarter? >> yes. >> you do not believe it was based on knowledge known by these gentlemen related to the breach? >> i've known these individuals, they're honorable men. i had no indication they had any knowledge of the breach at the time they made the sale. >> some lawmakers weren't so quick to buy that argument. >> i think it's very fishy that on july 31st, there was a lot of information that there had probably been a breach, and august 1st and 2nd, that over a million dollars in stock was sold. it doesn't smell good. >> smi smith will answer all questions at the senate tomorrow. that's where he'll appear before two other co

greg walden is a member of the panel that will grill the equifax guy., you can't fix the breach that's already happened, obviously. but can you realistically stop others in future? >> well, if we find out what went wrong here, perhaps we can. you know, there are already plenty of laws on the books that govern how companies should operate to protect our most valuable data. and you keep asking yourself how does this happen. it's like the guards at force knox standing idly by as the back door thieves raid the vault. they've raided our financial data time and again. this is the most egregious example of that, and we want to get to the facts and find out how did it happen. stuart: is this going to be a bit like the tobacco executives who were put on the stand, raised their hand, swore to told the truth and congress piles on them? is that going to happen again today? >> look, i'm just after the facts. i have a degree in journalism, and i want the facts to lead us to a solution so it doesn't happen again. i think people are outraged. we're the people's house.

as chairman walden mentioned, we had our 40th anniversary of the creation of doe yesterday. 40 years of energy innovation. and that's a perfect description of what doe has been doing since its inception in 1977. energy security we americans enjoy and take for granted would not have been possible without american ingenuity and clear focus on innovation. i'm proud of the advancement ed. they've put a stamp on the la century of science. nearly a third of the work are doe associated are sponsored and that's a pretty impressive show from my per spspective of the investment that you all have made in the labs in the previous years. through nuclear science. and i want to touch just briefly. what i think is an incredibly important issue facing our department today and that's nuclear security. we have a real and corner stone of our national security the strategy has served the ice and our allies well. our work on nonproliferation is equally important. the department's national security or excuse me, national nuclear security administration is a leader in our nation's efforts to ensure nuclear

he was from a essentially a esse of walden and his father a sheriff, he grew up and saw people beinge became a texas ranger as did many of his brothers. he crept us to be practiced law with a gun and at a time when justice is often held by exploding barrel of a gun. by the 1920s to 1925 when hoover summoned him to washington, he had to wear suit and adapt techniques like fingerprinting, handwriting analysis would become an important part of his case. he has to file paperwork, which he can't stand. and he gets to the bureau, he doesn't know why hoover has summoned him. but hoover at the time is replacing any of the frontier wall man with a new breed of agents, these college boys that type faster than they shot. in fact they had very little criminal experience and so hoover ha have kept on the role just a few white white and they were known as the cowboys. this is a picture of hoover, taking just a few months before, so this is exactly what hoover looked like at his desk. he was only 29 when he became the director. he was not yet an autocratic or have all of the power that he would hav

so when people did come forward with these concerns and mister walden is right, there were concerns by people, attempts to yield back some federal control back to the states. those were beaten back, for the common defense to the second amendment, that was voted down, there was a constitutional amendment proposed that would have had this militia power altering scheme, that was rejected as well. at the end of the day the constitution survived the bill of rights without having anything in its assignment of power back and forth between states and federal government repealed. so we didn't just see any change in congress's power with the militia. we also didn't see any repeal of provisions the constitution still has which forbids the state from keeping troops without the consent of congress. if the second amendment has to be read as a check on federal power by the state. our understanding of the civil war needs to change but the civil war proved there was a major flaw in our form of government. always up until that point we believed the bill of rights was necessary to control the federal gov

for instance, to get to hanford, out next to chairman walden's district, commercial flight to seattle, and then from seattle down to hanford is a pretty good hike. it's on the very -- >> if the reporter wants to catch you in a flight, he's got a better shot at catching you at the southwest airlines counter than at some -- >> i think there are multiple pks of p pictures of me on the drudge report on southwest airlines. >> and it's okay to fly american. we'll let you fly american, united. southwest is based in dallas texas. >> i've been on all of those carriers as well. mr. chairman, i think the real key here is what i shared with mr. palone is that my intention will be to be as sensitive to this as we can be and i totally respect congress oversight capacity here and what have you and what i would offer you, sir, is that i think you sent a letter asking for the breakdown of the travel. what i would like to do with your permission is direct the agency as well to look back at the previous secretary's travel in recent memory to look and see if our travel is pretty much in line with what se

walden and. the ruby deal i just think that there's a lot of things that we need to know researchers hope more answers can be found in the twenty eight hundred j.f.k. files released by the national archives they're among the last classified records of the investigation hidden from the public for fifty four years and now compelled by law to be released what secrets do they contain nothing that would change the outcome of the investigation but some pages stand out a report about jack ruby's possible ties to the mafia and interview with a cuban embassy worker about oswald's request for a visa and various records of the kennedy administration's covert efforts to overthrow the cuban government it just shows what. i hope her powers are capable of and that scares me a little bit and then either way i just like to know what happened the files are a treasure trove for the mini j.f.k. enthusiasms who still visit site the. of his assassination and they may have more to look forward to some three hundred rec

which leads to that cycle and too often tragically opioid death. 175 people a day, as my friend greg walden pointed out in the subcommittee hearing yesterday, more people die in oregon from opioid overdose than traffic accidents. well, more benefits, fewer side effects, lower costs. mr. speaker, i'd ask unanimous consent to enter into the record the evidence i gave to the subcommittee on commerce yesterday. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. blumenauer: there's a reason that up to 90% of the american public favors greater access to medical marijuana. voters in florida last year by over 70% approved their program. mr. speaker, the federal government continues to interfere, threatening medical marijuana programs, requiring congress to step in and shield it as we've done last year and for the previous two years. unfortunately, the rules committee denied us a chance to vote on it. last congress both houses approved measures for v.a. doctors to be able to consult with veterans who have a serious overdose problem. despite passing both chambers it was stripped out. the rul
