when i came to congress, wisconsin and arizona -- wisconsin had 10 members in the house, arizona, i believe, had three. arizona has had a huge growth in population during that -- during the subsequent 40 years and it's been financed in large part by federal dollars. i don't remember how much the central arizona project cost, but it was billions. and i think what the gentleman is suggesting is that now that arizona has got his, that he begrudges somebody else trying to get pennies by comparison. let me point out that in this bill, arizona gets $13 million in earmark funds. he says, wasa isn't the community where it's being repaired, it's not on the interstate. why should we confine federal responsibility only to communities lucky enough to be on interstate roads? why tell small, rural towns, sorry go off in the corner, you don't have the right to participate in federal support. with respect to this particular project, we are trying to help the community of rib mountain, part of the warsaw metropolitan area, fix -- part of the wasau metropolitan area, fix some problems. on july 4, two 15-year

to conceal kerry in any say that do not allow the practice and there are some states illinois and wisconsinthat fallen to that category. we do not mandates concealed carry rise in those states and. in addition our amendment does not establish national standards for concealed carry. it does not provide a national carrier permits. it simply allows citizens were able to carry in their home states to also carry and other states but only if those other states have a concealed carry permits. then we also respect the law of those other states in terms of where guns can be carried in the red they cannot be carried so we explicitly respect of that state law by requiring that state laws concerning specific types of location in which farmers cannot be carried must be followed by then visiting individual and that is very important. so finally we absolutely protect and enshrined current federal law in terms of background checks and people with criminal problems or mental problems who cannot carry guns so if under current law individual is right for a federal law from carrying a firearm we absolutely pro

sue, how about in wisconsin? how did things start to unfold there? >> i think there was a great deal of concern in the beginning on the part of parents, and some of that had to do with communication. the communication was coming so fast and so furiously and changing so fast from the national to the state to the local level that it became confusing for parents. they might check one source and get one message and then check another source and get a little different message, and that of course was frustrating. what we have talked about now is the need to communicate to parents and families and to the community that this is probably going to be the case. there is probably going to be rapid communication and changing communication. and we need to be prepared for that. the message isn't going to come down on monday that will necessarily be the same on friday. so we have to get the word out to the families now so that they can anticipate those kind of things. we also found it was helpful to have at the state level in nursing consultant who could provide inv
