woodall: thank you, mr. speaker. want to thank my friend from california for yielding me the time. tell a different story, mr. speaker. you and i haven't got a chance work down here, when i come down here to sell these rules. back when i was in the majority on the rules committee, we always get it right, but as a rank and file member of the had a chancealways to improve the bill, to make it etter, to try to hear some voices. my friend from florida is not down here with us today. my friend from california knows worst thing about having alcee hastings on your committee up and all ll fired geared up and you almost get because so often he's right and he's pointing out your flaws and he's making you do it better. we need more of that from one another, mr. speaker, where we up, not elves wound about republicans and democrats, the process to do better. i know that your week and my week from california's has been just like my week. it started out with veterans day your back home in district, and you didn't find a manor woman

woodall -- mr. cleaver might be the only person in the congress that's been in congress prior to the moratorium. thank you. >> mr. pocan. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let me continue on that i was at a meeting one time as a freshman and sat down with a bunch of folks and we got talking about congressionally directed spending now i guess instead of earmarks and i raised the issue how people didn't like the idea of the earmark for a bridge to to nowhere. the lobbyist in the room said i was the staff person who wrote that at the time. that was -- didn't go over well in that room. but other ideas for addressing this issue? because it does seem that we have -- since i've been here now fourth term, we have a remarkably hard time of doing what should be the most 101 of our job. and if you actually had some skin in the game rather than a bureaucrat in washington you know you're more likely to be supportive. any other changes people might recommend? >> when the convergence group discussed this let me note we

he joins representatives will hurd and pete olson of texas, rob woodall of georgia.hey're all from districts that house democrats have targeted over the last few months. will retirement make it even tougher for the g.o.p. to reclaim a majority in the house? republican strategist bruce mehlman joins us. always nice to have you. bruce: great to be here. soledad: let's begin there. what is the big picture impact do you think of all of these folks? i'm going to go out on a limb and say they're going to be a handful -- there are going to be handful more of people not running for re-election and people who are very well known and have lots of power, like a peter king? bruce: the two questions are the explann bruc would you like to the house minority these days? for some of the folks, like peter king, he'see minority, th really ought to be yes or you need more hobbies. for other folks like will hurd, i think there's a frustration -- i think there's a frustration that the party that you're currently representing is not the party you thought you signed up for. so there's a se

woodall: we had good partners in finding purchasers for that debt. mentioned changes as purely technical measures, referring to increased purchases over the next two months. dr. steven williamson observed that that reverses about 2/3 of the unwinding of the fed balance repos and offers foreign is another place to look if the answer to maintaining stability is larger reserves. one can find those in a number different places. sometimes you make our job very easy here and mask some of our failures with your good work. can you speak to why being involved in treasuries was a superior choice to going into the foreign repo market to deal with liquidity? , we are only well allowed to buy treasuries -- treasuries and agencies is what we can own. that is how we create reserves, as you know. we do that. it is really nothing to do with helping fund the federal government. has really changed since before the financial crisis is that we very high liquidity requirements on particularly the dollar this -- particularly the largest banks, and they have to own high lev

it was largely because of indian question our president don't jump because india didn't want the woodall of american troops from afghanistan because of the border tension with marcus on again americans who have expressed strong realize isham dead or dead is nor of a viable option other than to exit from afghanistan that is the only viable option the reason being is that it doesn't money order to control 70 percent of gun territory and it isn't countries like pakistan. dargon russia they are very suspicious about the intentions of the us presence in in the florida stand and blocking iran in this you have gone public never blamed us sponsoring that in a funny sound they're trying to use to digitally encircled is going to use so in that context i think the americans have realized that the staying in a one a stand is no longer a viable option also because of the fact that the americans have used almost every conceivable weapons other than nuclear weapon so they have not been able to get again the territory so therefore i think in bissett you ation this is a signal to the taliban and this is

. >> my name is steve woodal and i'm collection specialist for artist books at the fine arts museum of san francisco. i curate the exhibitions and the book gallery at the legion of honor museum. i've been involved to one extent or another and a great admirer of the work that arion press has done and the incredible community resource that m.n.h. type represents. these two institutions have been in a central position in what is really a world-class bay area community in the arts of the hand-made book. as alex said, that is a community that goes back to the 1940s. i think philadelphia may have had a headstart on us, but our community is more well formed than any other in the united states. what that means today is arion and m.n.h. are important partners in extending that history into the future. with its unmatched array of historic equipment, printing and typecasting, arion is sometimes thought of as a museum, but if it is a museum, it is very much a living museum where real production is done every day on books that marry traditional printing techniques with the visions of the most promi

joining me now, georgia congressman bob woodall.us. >> happy to be with you, charles. charles: i tried as best as i could watch it as much as i could yesterday and tried to be objective. i really did. i didn't see a lot of there, there. a lot of hysteria, his tariq, a lot of hearsay. every time i brought that up to my democratic friends, thee reminded me this is not a legal court. but the media presents it as a legal challenge, constitutional crisis for the white house? >> chars, my constituents back home tell me that very same thing. oversight done by congress over the white house is serious business and folks want that to be done in a serious way. but they look look at the circus going on here, they see exactly what you see. no there there. just more partisan shenanigans. charles: i was feeling like at a racetrack, russia collusion is falling back, we have never seen this before, the recession is gaining. recession is fading we've never seen this before. the jockey jumped on another horse. this feels like yet another horse, just m

woodall. think -->> i thank the gentleman from yielding. i want to talk about the partisanship conversation. old andas six years senator isakson was elected as a u.s. house member, it was 23 out of 180 members of the house. i don't know how many there were before you got there, senator. but being a republican in georgia in 1976 was not a popular thing to do, and i think about all the things we want to do together in this body. i think about folks who say, we can't do that, it is too hard. it will take too long. let's do something today, but let's not focus on those long-term goals. you might think that when ronald reagan was elected in 19 80 that that was a big jump in georgia, but as i recall, there were still 23 members in the georgia 1980.in georgia in 23 out of 180. somebody had to be the first one to stand up, and we talk about partisanship in this institution like it is a bad thing. what i have always loved about you, senator, is you have never been embarrassed to be a republican. you knew what you believed. you knew why you believed

woodall for three minutes. >> thank you mr.hairman for being with us today but i want to pick up where of mr. left off on deputy mention we haven't seen any booming sectors in the economy that might lead to a bubble burst. it was one of those booming sectors over the last decade in our case increasing from less than 70% of gdp to 105% of gdp. you said no notable buildup and you are talking about private sect or substantial leveraging of the private sector. can you speak to that bubble and concerns about the sovereign debt? >> what is interesting is the supply of u.s. and risk-free debt the most risk-free debt in the world has increased dramatically. the interest rate the people are demanding is gone down. the models would provide more the product that will drive the price them and drive the interest rate. the opposite happened so what you see is a situation where frankly interest rates around the world have been declining for really 40 years. that includes hours and it's a bunch of things. it's lower inflation. demographics whe

woodall. >> thank you mister chairman. i want to pick up where the german left off. i'm a lawyer, i'm not an engineer but i don't have the regulatory distinction between this type and a new type and that is debris quadrant of a new flight simulator which is a qualifier to be under a derivative? >> let me explain, the 7:37 is a family of airplanes and it's a family of airplanes flying and many pilots will fly an empty first flight in the morning and the second flight of the day and then ngo the third flight of the day and one of the markers that they want is a seamless transition to the max. >> let's go back because 9/11 is a crew with airbus and the derivative type and it's the design that customers wanted and it's the presumption at that time and a brand-new design was a brand-new type and had no flight simulator. >> congressman, i was the chair of the 7:37 and the product studies we are looking at this since 2007. we also had the new airplane like any good company, we were looking at both options and seeking them internally about what is with the market. what they

woodall. listening i enjoy to the partnership conversation. i want to come from a different perspective. i want to talk about the partisanship conversation. when i was 6 years old and list to the partnership senator isakson was elected as a u.s. house member, it was 23 out of 180 members of the house, as i recall. i don't know how many there were before you got there, senator. but being a republican in georgia in 1976 was not a popular thing to do. and i think about all the things that we want to do together in this body, senator. and i think about folks who say, oh, we can't do that, it's too hard, it's going to take too long, let's do something today, but let's not focus on those long-term goals. you might think that when ronald reagan was elected in 1980 that that was a big jump in georgia. as i recall, there were still 23 members in the u.s. -- in the georgia house in georgia in 19 80. 23 out of 180. somebody had to be the first one to stand up and we talk about partisanship in this institution, madam speaker, like it's a bad thing what i
