i guess it was called a federal civilian cybersecurity campus. i know that's been talked about and finally we put $3r5 million last year. this year, there's not a request for that campus. i don't see it anywhere in the five-year plan. what happened to that $35 million? where did it get spent? or will it be spent? and where does all that fit in long range? >> the project is one that we continue to work with partner agencies to understand requirements. again, i feel like i said requirements a few times today. i apologize. but they are a key part of us defining the scope of our projects and what will be programmed as a part of the project 37s and that really has a strong impact on what's needed and necessary, as well as the timing of it. so we continue to work with those partner agencies. and once we get a better sense of what the requirements are and the programming for that activity, then we'll be able to come back with the request. those funds that you've awarded at this point would be held for that project. >> so are they being used no uh? -- no

he was ordered to go off for a federal psychiatric evaluation. one of our federal and two shins. after about three months he was returned district with the psychiatric incompetency. the problem was during that period of time, his physical problems weren't addressed and he then quickly died in custody as a result of the camp there. that story touched me because it was addressing one need without addressing this backend very out of mental health but not his physical health. the second one involves a man named mr. kennedy. mr. kennedy was also seriously mentally ill. he was also a serial bank robber whose comfort was left in an institution rather than being out. he was returned one friday night to the district of utah and he went as instructed to the local halfway house. unfortunately, he was two days early and was not accepted into custody. so then he went to the bank. he had robbed again and sat down and waited for the police to come and get him. he had no other choice is either very seriously mentally ill person with nowhere to go. those two incidents sparked a response in our di

with a federal, policy for removal, of dangerous aliens, particularly those who are coming out of federal custody. and your reference again to the tragic murder in san francisco, is one that is highlighted. certainly with regards to local policies, they vary across the country. we are in litigation in two particular matters where we are sending the department of homeland security and their requests to have jurisdiction to -- rt to them when >> i don't want to cut you off but my time is limited. do you agree or disagree with policies that prohibit reporting illegal status of somebody who is a listed -- who is arrested or convicted of a crime? loretta lynch: with current law and how jurisdictions are handling the matter, it is a local matter. and what we have done as a policy -- >> a local matter -- loretta lynch: we have a new policy with how we deal with cities who have refused to turn officials over for us for deportation area -- deportation. >> there is a federal law on the matter. it says no government entity, including state or local or official may prohibit or restrict any government

they claim he was entrapped i federal prosecutors. in 2013, he was a defense witness during a break of the commonwealth trial. when he took the stand under of, federal prosecutors cross-examined him and asked him questions he knew that they knew he would lie about. questions like had he taken he answered no, and they're using this testimony against him. essentially the fence sentiment during his testimony -- and the federal agents set him up during his testimony. in the meantime, he is scheduled for trial on may 3. tom: the nation's highest court has set a date to hear governor bob mcdonnell's appeal. the supreme court will take up the case on april 27. doing political favors for a wealthy executive in exchange and loans. his lawyers will argue they convicted him on a overly broad definition of primary. -- primary. the appeal of his wife tisha: police are looking for 18-year-old carlton junior. he is wanted for the murder of wayne anthony watford who was found dead at the pleasant hill cemetery. if you know where he's is, call crimest

federal budget for indian programs is one of the key measures of how and whether the federal government is fulfilling its travel responsibility to travel governments. respect for travel self-determination is essential to meet the basic public needs of our citizens due to historical under funding, inconsistent federal budgets and recent fluctuations in federal funding tribes have faced great needs for their citizens. many more recommendations have been developed in the fy 2017 indian budget request and we ask the document be entered into the record. overall we appreciate the cross agency coordination on this budget request and encourage congress to recognize that the budgetary needs of indian country must be addressed across federal agencies to be successful. it is not enough to boost funding for education and public safety without also addressing the need for housing for teachers and law enforcement personnel. a great example of collaboration is the tawahi initiative which is a pilot program that addresses family and community well-being. we have to tackle the interrelated problems of p

today the federal open market committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at .25 to .50%. our decision to keep this policy stance reflects our assessment of the economic outlook and the risks associated with that outlook. the committee's baseline expectations for economic activity, the labor market, and inflation have not changed much since december. with the appropriate monetary policy, we continue to expect moderate economic growth, further labor market improvement, and return of inflation to our 2% objective in two to three years. however, global economic and financial developments continue to pose risks. against this backdrop, the committee judged it prudent to maintain the current policy stance of today's meeting. i will come back to our policy decision momentarily but first let me review recent economic developments in the outlook. the labor market continues to strengthen. over the most recent three months, job gains averaged nearly 230,000 per month. similar to the pace experienced over the past year. the unemployment rate was 4.9% in the first two m

until the federal government got involved. then the one piece of equity that had never been in question throughout u.s. american history, federal government gets involved and collapse. same with this on job creation i wish you the best war on poverty, johnson, self-sufficiency was going up, up, up. poverty was going down down down. johnson put in his war on poverty and he comes to in about five years after he puts in a federal program. that was his goal, his data was to reach self-sufficiency. so if that's what other subnets in my i'm all for it. but the recession and the sequestered et cetera, the problem is federal government is in the way right now. we are doing $540 billion in deficit spending this year. that's a sugar high. economy, if the federal government had anything do with them we are borrowing from next generation of kids to the tune of 540 billion this year. that should be a sugar high. if that's not enough, by the way the federal reserve has $4 trillion on their balance sheets in bank vaults right now with zero i

at a news conference today, federal reserve chairman janet yellen said the fed would keep the federal reserve would keep rates -- this is one hour. ms. yellen: good afternoon. today, the federal open market committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 1/4 to 1/2 percent. our decision to keep this accommodative policy stance reflects both our assessment of the economic outlook and the risks associated with that outlook. the committee's baseline expectations for economic activity, the labor market, and inflation have not changed much since december. with appropriate monetary policy, we continue to expect moderate economic growth, further labor market improvement, and a return of inflation to our 2% objective in 2-3 years. however, global economic and financial developments continue to pose risks. against this backdrop, the committee judged it prudent to maintain the current policy stance at today's meeting. i will come back to our policy decision momentarily, but first let me review recent economic developments and the outlook. the labor market continues

federal data shows it will earn 66 billion dollars in loans issued between 2007 and 2012. the private sector wants a piece of that growing money pie. unlike mortgages or auto loans, student debt is not backed by an asset. so if, for example, you default on your mortgage. a lender can foreclose. if you stop paying your auto loan a bank can repossess. if you failed to meet your student debt obligations, your knowledge and skims cannot be taken away. educational loans are a riskier business which is why the government owns about 90% of student debt. this c oechlt of common bond, the company started three years ago. it raised 10 million dollars in investors anxious to meet student debt refinancing. the secret to success is screening for applicants. >> we look at any major settlements or payments outstanding over 60 to 90 days. we will look at bankruptcys, income, employment. these are things the federal government just doesn't. >> reporter: because the company looks at so many factors, this man managed to get a lower rate. the rate you were paying before was how much more? >>

the government purchasing a huge amount of federal student loans. most federal student loans before 2010 were originated by stampedl institutions with a government guarantee. now much of them are owned by the government and in 2010, the president got a law passed to essentially end this bank subsidy program and now when you borrow, it's all directly through the department of education. all of this put together more borrowers. more students relying on pell grants, student loans combined with the government taking the unprecedented action really has in some ways created a lot of holoceneties that the makers and the research community are thinking about all of the different tools that can really be used to make improvements to the system. i think that we are at a place where we need to keep helping people go to college but we need to remember that the macro environment as well as some poor performing programs are leading inpeople, many people being very high levels of distress. i can't tell you enough. what i would push you to remember is when somebody

right outside the federal prosecutor's office. the very center of the investigation. investigators haven't said what role they believe cheffou played in the attacks. but belgian media suggest he's this man, pictured walking through the airport with the two men who detonated their explosives. nbc news has not confirmed that report. and tonight, news that justin shultz from tennessee, who had been missing since the airport bombings, has been confirmed dead by his family. his wife stephanie is still unaccounted for. an fbi team is now helping the investigation. the president pledging more. >> belgium's close friend and ally of the united states. when it comes to our friends, america has their back. >> reporter: the airport scene of the first bombings is still closed and guarded. the forensic examination here at the airport is over. the problem now is how to improve security to prevent another atrocity. an atrocity that so many, like abdullah, are struggling to recover from. the airport worker's leg has been amputated. he's burned, an

to federal employees or veterans, use packaging like this without a federal law from congress? >> i think we have to go back and look at what kind of authority we would have, or if the federal government needs additional authority to do that. i will say that part of what we've been trying to do at the federal level is ensure that every federal prescriber at least has some level of mandatory education as it relates to those. in terms of mandating a package, i don't know if we either have the authority or need additional authority to be able to do that. i can look into it. >> if you can work with my office, i'd very much appreciate that and look forward to working with you to try to develop this. i thank the chairman and yield back. >> we'll recognize now mr. lynch, gentleman from massachusetts. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i want to associate myself with the words of the chairman and ranking member earlier on on this issue. i think there's much were can do on the treatment side, but up front, there's also the opportunity to reduce the number of people that require treatment. i th

federal abuse of power and the fear that the federal government has gotten too large and are making large changes. and they couch it in language that is similar to what governor wallace is using. it is still a debate that is going on today in national politics. but in the state itself, we are s.alt with the tw wallaceo we have the wallace that supported improvements to public education. we have technical colleges all across the state that bear the names of george wallace and marlene wallace that have educated generations of students. so that stands to his legacy as someone i was interested in the needs of alabama's people. but we are also still dealing with a very painful legacy of ist rhetoric. one of the wonderful examples of that is some of the speeches that george wallace's family have made recently. what you are looking at now is a speech by peggy wallace kennedy in montgomery, alabama. this is a speech given in 2015, the day after the bloody sunday 50th anniversary celebration was held in selma. so she is speaking to a group of congressmen that are coming down with john lewis to spe

federal debt collection practices act and federal unfair and deceptive practices. we have open matters on that in the courts and i think that's all quite appropriate. >> so you have -- missouri has caught your attention as far as the abuses are concerned of consumers. >> very definitely. >> thank you for that. you know, as it relates to estimating the ratio or ethnic impact of auto discrimination, to your knowledge, do any statistical methodologies exist that eliminate all false positives and false negatives? >> i'm not a social scientist but it seems to me unlikely that in any field of social science or natural sciences, that that's easily possible. but i wouldn't claim to be an expert. >> okay. if republicans have concerns about using estimates for race or ethnicity, shouldn't congress just tell auto finance companies to start collecting this data as agmda does for mortgages? wouldn't that eliminate the need for estimation? >> actually, it would. yes. i believe so. >> okay. are proxy methodologies used in other civil rights enforcement contexts? >> have been for

many of our people in federal probation, federal defenders, sometimes the u.s. attorney's office and other agencies migrate from the state system to the federal system. and i have been asked numerous times why can't we have a mental health court? why don't we have a drug court? and this was eight or nine years ago. and the simple answer at the time was, we never have. so what we did is pilot a program with the permission of our chief judge without really mentioning it to our other district court judges, because we have a better opportunity if we ask for forgiveness, not for permission. or gently that was met along with our pilot drug court program with great enthusiasm from a series of judges who, as the judge has dated, didn't like the lack of options and opportunity on even though they had seen the problems. we are now in our eighth or ninth year of behavioral health court. we now call it, as well as mental health court. but because of the open-mindedness with which our judges and our probation people looked at these opportunities, we have been able to expand

tour for federal government. current levels of coverage involve millions -- who involve 85% receive subsidies. cbo has put subsidy costs at about $880 million through 2025. i would note that while subsidies are paid to insurers and not directly to enrollees, they never let us represent a financial benefit to them. as i stressed before, a program of this scope and scale remains inherently at risk for errors, including improper payments and fraud. accordingly, it is essential that effective enrollment controls are in place to help narrow the window of opportunity for such risk, and safeguard the government's investment against this backdrop i'll now discuss our two principle and analytical results. first we found that cms does not track or analyze aggregate outcomes, the extent to which a query agency delivers information responsive to a request, or whether an agency reports that information was not available. in this record, for example, we found that ssa could not match 4.3 million queries related to names of --

federal employees are veterans use packaging like this without a federal law from congress? mr. botticelli: we would have to go back and look at what kind of authority we would have or if the federal government needs additional authority to do that. of what wethat, part have in trying to do at the federal level, is ensure that every federal prescriber at least at -- has some level of mandatory education. but in terms of mandating a package, i don't know if we have the authority re: -- or if we need additional authority. representative buck: i look forward to working with you to try to develop in this area. i thank you, chairman. and i yield back. representative lynch: i do want to associate myself with the words of the chairman and the ranking member early on in this issue very there is much we can do on the treatment side. also thent, there is opportunity to reduce the number of people that require treatment. i think we have to double our efforts in that regard. michael botticelli, the to see you again. mike for those who don't know, headed up our efforts in massachusetts f

if the federal law requires me to wear a belt and the federal law requires me to wear suspenders, i will comply with both laws. if you take the position that the state legislators are in this, ition to provide you should repeal dodd hch frank. when we passed the law establishing this cfpb, we decided that in addition to following state law, which might provide a two-day period, there could -- there will also be an additional federal law. now you can say that a state that decides to have no regulation in a financial area has made a conscious decision that that is the best policy for that state. but we passed a federal law to say that there will be standards. preempt is when you tell a company they don't have to comply with state law. supplement is when you say, you have to comply with the state law plus you must comply with the federal law. mr. cordray, thank you for all you do. part of what you do is coming here to congress so we can comment on what you do. and perhaps help you do an even better job. mr. cordray: i think i just learned from you a little bit, so i appreciate that. mr. she

the federal government takes more than they earned. i also warn against borrowing from peer to pay for paul. it never works out or either party. we already borrowed $170 become for disability. there was a bipartisan core to do that. it would not have been my call. those kind of things thwart what einstein talked about as being the greatest force in the universe, which is compound interest. at some point we have to really begin setting money aside or individuals have to begin setting money aside, which the system doesn't do. with that having been said, i would yield to my colleague from wisconsin for his thoughts. >> well, i am going to point out, when you think of social security, obviously, you are thinking of the retirement, retirement function. but there is also the disability function. and realistically, we're going to have to look at that. i mean, a time when factors say for farms have never been safer. look at the number of people on that system. in the year 1990, it was $12 million in 2014. when you take the dependents and that

not only does the federal government not know what it's doing, the federal government thinks it knows what it's doing and when it doesn't it actually does more harm than good in many cases, i'm not saying -- [ applause ] >> you're absolutely right. >> i'm not saying everything is bad. the federal government can provide resources, but the federal government should mind the supply lines, not the front lines. this is what the left misunderstands so profoundly, i think. there's this space between ourselves and our government, it's called civil society. it is community. it's where we live our lives. and what the left always seems to confuse is they think this is wrong, bad, inefficient, more government should be closer between ourselves and our government and there shouldn't not be this middle ground, our churches, our civic groups, our communities, our families, that's where we live our lives. came to america to say how great we were and how exceptional we were, the left is squeezing this. we want to expand this. and we believe by getting the government out of the way and removing these b

he was instrumental in the federal reserve and the federal commission. you can find all those interviews and more

the federal real property profile. i saw that gao had found the issues with the database, questions of reliability. i understand, huge database and conflicting information coming from different sources, but it also raised questions about the property reductions and the associated cost savings being overstated as a result of those inaccuracies. can you talk about that? just how serious that problem is and what you're trying to do to overcome it? >> sure. just to separate the two and the real property database as you point out, congressman, does have a lot of sources that it pulls from, and there are steps we've taken to work with our federal partners in terms of improving the integrity and quality of that data to the extent of ensuring that very senior level individuals in those agencies are seeing the data as it's being submitted as well as doing some mandatory drop-downs as well as smart assessments of information that is entered into the database from year to year. this is something we're rolling out this year if the

the federal reserve has acknowledged that as they continue on. yearse first time in 15 the gap was going to be the smallest between devout market growth and emerging-market growth. in large part because of the slowdown in china, brazil, russia, and so forth. we see that as a trend and ironically the developed markets, u.s., japan, to a lesser extent the deleveraging that they went through, painful over the last several years is actually providing the marginal growth to the world economy and i think that that's something that the investors are still grappling with. betty: are we going to see more central-bank easing? clearly at the limit. developing markets, clearly negative rates are not of fan of. that's partially setting a deflationary expectation, so it's an experiment. clearly the federal reserve -- one of the reasons we continue to see 1% is that it could be the high water mark in the friend -- fed funds rate is the next couple of years. i can't see them pulling away from that tractor beam. they seem to come in with bazookas whenever there i

the federal reserve is in no rush to raise interest rates. the central bank held rates steady for the second straight meeting and said it would increases them more gradually than previously forecast. policymakers say soft global growth and financial market volatility pose risks to their economic outlook. recent economic data shows some firming. this morning we learned core consumer prices which exclude food and energy rose .3% last month, that was more than expected and the notion that the fed will delay some rate increases sent stocks higher and bond yields higher. the dow jones industrial average gained 74 points to 17,325. the nasdaq added 35 and the s&p 500 rose 11 to its highest level this year. steve liesman reports on why the fed seems uncertain about the economic recovery. >> reporter: a dovish federal reserve kept interest rates unchanged in its march meeting and suggested it would be very cautious about future rate hikes. in fact, it slashed the number of hikes it forecast this year with the average number of rates, the committee no

government, federal government wide. and again this is a budgetary issue beyond her scope but it is important that the administration recognize that when they make a budget request us we do not have the ability to provide funding and mandatory spending. i think they know that. if that's a bar, perhaps posturing, to suggest that the administration is more interested in agricultural funding than we are. when we come to provide support for aagricultural research, in my view comeau we have been there. you have been kind enough to attempt to include me a visit to cuba. i appreciate that invitation. i have been a longtime advocate for lifting the embargo, particularly as it relates to commodities to cuba. your budget includes changes , funding for changes that may occur in our relationship. >> the appropriations process maybe a controversial request. even if it is not this process takes a long time. [laughter] >> well, the embargo statute , the department of agriculture from using any market assisting programming money. they c

we're still waiting to hear from the federal government about whether the federal offices will be opened. we're told that congress is in session tomorrow. the federal government is at its mid-week full-staff best and as you've seen it, you've been outside in d.c., there are tons of visitors from out of town. it seems so often this afternoon, we are the ones notifying other public information officers from other local transit agencies, the ones that might support metro rail about the news that there will be a shut down. vre, virginia rail express will run a normal schedule tomorrow. we're waiting on information from marc train, from the mta in maryland. it might be worth familiarizing yourself with the maps now. might be worth driving to get those worth noting parking could fill up early wednesday morning. we're waiting for d.c. metro rail. to offer a press conference and some information officially about what's suspected to be at least a 24-hour shutdown systemwide for trains starting at midnight. all the information being updated regularly at your news4 washington app. >> the thing is i

it's in federal waters. it's not in state waters. >> your saint onshore is not owned by all americans because you saidflare gas was all americans. i thought those landmark lands within state boundaries . >> public lands are owned by all americans. >> and the mineral resources on those lands are also owned by all americans. >> that's correct and when it's within the boundaries of the state there's revenue share. went outside the boundaries of the state as indicates to the outer continental share there is not a revenue share until the mesa. >> is that because the offshore production doesn't affect our coast like in the example of the dew point horizon where we had 600 miles of louisiana. is that the reason? >> your impacted both from environmental consequences and also economic opportunities there's $17 billion i believe for gulf coast restoration . as a result . >> i'm sorry. you raise the same thing last time. that is because of law. you can't you say we lose money because bp is now paying their fines and pe

authorities in order to study it and under federal law it is still forbidden. so you have to go through what researchers say is is an onerous situation, it's almost impossible to get your hands on the stuff certainly in any kind of quantity or quality we see on the streets now. very, very hard to study. beyond that the social stigma of studying it the social stigma of using it has made it difficult for people to report their marijuana use openly so it's very hard to study people and know over a long period of time how often do you smoke marijuana, how do you say it affects your life, people can't come forward with it because it's been illegal, and studies have come out outside the united states, and rumor has it that in the coming week we'll see a study that shows long term effects of people over decades. this is the first study of its kind, people have been sort of you are draw out population wide statistics about this. the idea that we say it's a perfectly harmless drug or much less harming e-ful than alcohol we just don't know nap we think so but it's anecdo

. >> currently federal law allows for children as young as 12 to work out in the fields an unlimited amount of hours outside of school. in any other industry, kids need to be 16 years old to be able to work. there are some exemptions that allow 14 or 15 year olds, but they are very limited hours they can work and they have to work with their school system. you don't see any of that in agriculture. as long as you're 12, you have your parent with you or some sort of permission from your parent then you're allowed to work an unlimited amount of hours. >> back in 1938, the law was mostly established for children of farm owners. more of a "i'm a farm owner, i have children, it's okay to have my 12 year old, and in many instances, my 10 year old to work in the fields with me." but that was a personal relationship, obviously. now we're looking at children working for someone else, and the law, they fall under that loophole. >> you work pretty hard out there. >> so like we can go more faster and we can leave. because it's hard to cut them and pick them. >> all over the country, children like

taxes because they can't pay a subsidy on federal taxes if there are no federal taxes. however, professor, i was wondering if independence was the possibility, what type of transition or health care measures would be taken on either because the island is heavily depend on federal funding and federal spending. so the alternative would be, my guess would probably be like a universal health care system. however, even universal health care system examples in latin america or in the caribbean, those have not been very successful. and those that have been successful have been in europe and europe does have and interdependence of nations, i would puerto rico independence benefit health to on the island or not it is a massive migration anywhere that will be received similar to the immigration crises that are happening all over u.s. and europe, et cetera, et cetera? and in terms of -- geving.com well, i would like to pose this question to all three of you. and the status would not be resolved in the next 10 years and federal spending for medicaid will be over and the next year,

projects and federal programs. we gleaned ten lessons learned, and i will highlight what i believe to be the three most significant. first is establishing clear leadership. we found that the lack of clear leadership and overall responsibility and clear lines of delegation had ripple effects, caused a number of cascading problems across the project and made problem resolution more difficult. we also found the disconnect between those working on the policy and making decisions and those working on the technical aspects of the project created problems on both sides and delays in policy decision-making compressed an already tight time frame for achieving the technical build successfully. so, better integration across lines of business, policy and technical, as well as across government and contractors through this badgeless culture are some of the keys we saw to correction and success. and finally, taking a posture of continuous learning, which means being flexible and adoptable, especially with a start-up project like

just as i put that forward as part of the democratic budget at the federal level. historyud of my of fighting for workers rights, better pay, and collective bargaining. rep. edwards: let's go back to trade for a minute. it is true that my opponent has supported nine of the last 11 trade deals, including the korea agreement, which in the three years since the agreement was inked and you voted for it, we have hemorrhaged jobs and the trade deficit with korea has actually grown. i don't think that that is the kind of trade deal that the american people were american workers deserve. the tpp would have been nice over this last year and a half while i, and a group of colleagues, have been working to try to improve a transpacific partnership that mr. van hollen , but he wasf that absent until this election. vote for these free-trade deals and all the other hand say you support american workers. i am pleased to have the support of the hotel workers and the inmsters and a laundry list the organization. free-trade has to be fair trade. our next question is directed to mr. v

>> we don't take any out of military retirement. >> federal employees? >> as in past budgets it is recommended an option the federal government in the employee each contribute an equal amount toward the pension payments. >> you say you have delayed savings from the proposal? is that still the assumption? >>. >> before even starts? >> thank you so much. >> i have a question, a category 600, what is the total amount that budget provides for spending for section 600 over the next five years? >>. >> approximately 403 billion. >> on table one. >>. >> it is close that trillion dollars. >> correct. >> you have the number over the next 10 years? to read the chairman's mark provides 4.2 trillion dollars. >> that is the mandatory side there is this additional on the discretionary side the budget authority over tenures would be 710 billion on the discretionary side. >> with $5 trillion of the grand total. so keep that in mind then regarding the federal employees in pensions, the average% the private sector employee gets to their pension. >> it depends because many

federal law just makes it harder. federal laws must raise money in complex ways to do this and it minimalize is what they do and their byzantine rule that uses voters to register and get them to the polls. they make a good living off of this but i know we want to encourage more volunteers and they do to and we can change some of these things. another problem is federal election activities. it is very broad and it captures basic grassroots work which is intended to help candidates and local state elections. because of this, parties have to spend regulated money on traditional grass roots work. we were told simply telling voters to vote on november 8 and precinct 12 counts as federal election activity. so you leave off the part about when and where to vote. we want parties to be doing this. we want to beginning voters to the polls. in our view, parties could do even more of this. why does it have to be him restricted to these mccain feingold rules? the public good is providing candidates and a renegade candidate like tr

this new law made -- is a dramatic change in direction for federal education policy. in short, it reverses the trend toward what in effect had become a national school board. and restores to those closest to children the responsibility for their well-being and academic success. "the wall street journal" called the new every student succeed acts, quote, the largest devolution of federal control of schools from washington back to the states in a quarter of a century, unquote. more importantly, i believe the new law can inaugurate a new era of innovation in student achievement by putting the responsibility for children back in the hands of those closest to them, the parents, the classroom teachers, principals, school boards, and states. the law is so important that the nation's governors gave it their first full endorsement of any piece of federal legislation in 20 years. the last time they did that was the welfare reform bill in 1996. the law has the support of organizations that do not always see eye to eye. in fact, almost every education organization that supported t

military facilities and federal and state facilities that could do that. we believe detainees, as i said, can be detained. we did not pick a specific location. mr. royce: the -- one of the concerns that congress clearly has here is that in terms of our experience with those who have left guantanamo bay over the long haul, those that returned to the fight or those who are suspected of having returned to the fight is a little over 30%. i understand the argument that the administration's making that recent individuals released, they haven't returned -- lower percentage that returned to the fight but, of course, there's a continuum in terms of collecting the information and monitoring and transitioning as people end up -- i'm just looking at the overall number. the overall number is in the neighborhood of 31%. and if we begin to focus on some of the recent examples of those who did. it is pretty concerning that ibrahim qosi, he was one of the high-risk detainees transferred by this administration and by 2014 he had joined al qaeda in the arabian peninsula. and

we cannot have quite this aggressive assertion of federal power. certainly critics are saying that the supreme court just lost their nerve. but i think that, you know, both sides, in a sense, can point to just the facts of what the court was confronting and how they resolve those cases and support their argument. host: to tie all of the cases together, if marbury-madison have not been decided the way it was, the court would not be ruling and declaring acts of congress unconstitutional? paul: it is good you brought that up. there were acts of the slaughterhouse cases that are a little like marbury. the genius of the marbury decision that chief justice marshall wrote an important decision. if he had come out the other way, it is not entirely clear the decision would have been enforced. he would have picked a major fight. there is a similar sense here with the slaughterhouse cases. if justice miller flips his vote and there is five votes the other way, and they start saying that all sorts of common law privileges are enforced by the 14th amendment aga

. >> a teacher aide is facing a judge in federal court today. mikea turner is live outside of the district court in green belt with more as we look ahead. mikea. >> reporter: mike, andrea police are saying caraway is ready to talk. he address should of the allegations against him. today he appears in u.s. district court and is prepared to talk to the judge. caraway is facing 13 charges of exploitation, 11 miners are included ranging from 9 to 12- year-old. now, according to the inditement, caraway forced students into doing sexual things with him and with practiced inside erody is individual. i don't think the whole community should be responsible. >> reporter: now, according to the inditement children were sexual abused by caraway between october of last year and february 1st of this year. atowarding to federal officials, caraway is facing a minimal sentence of 15 years and a maximum of 30 followed by a lifetime of supervised release. reporting live, mikea turner, wusa >>> and another case of alleged undercover stet g. police are saying he was

federal reserve policy. anchor: will they, or won't they? they have now announced they will keep interest rates unchanged from where they stand currently, between 0.25 and 0.2 5 -- 0.5%. this happened at a meeting earlier. the fed had a lot to chew over in the meeting. oil prices have been -- core inflation rising, home construction stronger, and factory outlets have improved. it was not enough to bring up rates this time, but a another hike as early as the next fed meeting. the chairwoman, janet yellen, has set up her vision to come. >> the median projection for the fund rates rises only gradually, to .9% later this year, and 1.9% next year. as the factors restraining economic growth are projected to fade further over time, the median rate rises to 3% by the end of 2018, closer to its normal level. anchor: i should say that janet yellen it says that those planned set in stone and could change according to the recovery of the economy. let's get more on this story with our man on wall street. thank you for being with us. firstly, why do you t

go back to the federal building. there are evac marshaling spots check in to make sure they know where you are. i am not about to do that. get out of my face or i'll have you bodily removed, agent. hotch: please, we're here! hotch. hey! the area's restricted. that's my boss down there. my orders are what they are. i don't give a damn what your orders are. i get it, agent. so till the blast site is cleared, no one goes in. you're marine corps, right? right? please, go back to the marshaling point. i'm not doing . i'm not just gonna let my man lay down there like that. hotch: help us! damn it, we're here! never leave a man behind. you do remember that, don't you? hotch: we're here! please! ok. hotch! hotch! fast-forward it. he watched. that son of a bitch watched. get me another timecode. 12:29:13. oh, my god, that's the unsub. and he's walking right up to hotch. hotch. they're not letting any ambulances down here till they clear the scene. kid, you gotta get behind the barricades. let's go. go! go, sam. good luck. tal

there are federal employees all over this government and former federal employees who have had their clearances revoked, their jobs taken away from them, and who have gone to prison for compromising a single piece of classified information by not storing it properly, by leaving it out on their desk overnight, by giving it to someone who wasn't authorized. this happens regularly. in fact, mrs. clinton is being given the benefit of the doubt, because she is such a famous and important person, both as a former first lady, a former united states senator and a former secretary of state. she's being accorded a kind of deference in the investigation by the fbi and the justice department which would not be accorded to a common citizen. the lady from texas is absolutely wrong. and by the way, i'm not against that, as long as the fbi is doing their job, there's no reason to break into people's houses and confront them. in a case like this, the fbi finds 20 people who are involved in the case. they'd never go to their office. they go to their homes and say, i'm john smith from the fbi, we talk

so it's a federal marital, isn't that great? >> yes and we are defending that position in court. >> so based on your defense of the opposition, do you disagree with policy that prevent reporting to ice and federal authorities illegal status of arrestees or convicted criminals? this effort is a? >> if those policies impact the particular statute that you mentioned, rv would be they would fall under again the laws, the position w where currently defending which is jurisdiction should report. our issues i went jurisdictions do not report. as you quoted in the statute to i.c.e. for removal the information that we would need to of touch with the removal of those defendants. >> in louisiana, new orleans has just announced an expanded sanctuary city policy. they had some elements of century city policy. they have just finalized and announced a far expanded policy that would include absolutely prohibiting the world's police department from reporting to i.c.e. or any federal authority, illegal status of someone again, puts it aside victi

federal budget for irndi indian programs is one of the key measures of how the federal government is fulfilling is travel responsibility. respect for travel self-determination is essential to meet the basic public needs of our citizens due to historical underfunding and consistent federal budgets and recekrencent fluctuations in fe funding tribals have faced great needs for their citizens. many more recommendations have been developed in the fy 2017 indian budget request and we ask the document be entered into the record. overall we appreciate the cross agency coordination on this budget request and encourage congress to recognize that the budgetary needs of indian country must be addressed across federal agencies to be successful. it is not enough to boost funding for education and public safety without also addressing the need for housing for teachers and law enforcement personnel. a great example of collaboration is the initiative which is a pilot program that addresses family and community well being. we have to tackle the interrelated problems of poverty, violence, substance abu

the government at every level, local, state and federal and our role is to ensure federal agencies and employees do their job. according to dpa website commission is to protect human health and the environment. they failed at every single letter, every single level. instead, the epa seems to be working on other things, other priorities. i will enter some things into the record and this will make some people uncomfortable. there've been a lot of accusations about was this driven by a race race or the fact that this was a poor city or was this because they are underserved? there's a lot of accusations. this is an internal memo and i want you to understand who this is going back and forth with. this is jennifer cook of the epa manager, the epa region five branch manager and timothy henry the region five associate director in the water division and steve marks, i don't know how to pronounce his name, but the engineer. this is an internal memo. go ahead and put it up. september 24. perhaps you already know all this but i'm not sure that flint is a community that we want to go out on a limb

could the federal government for purposes of dispensing drugs to federal employees or veterans use packaging like this without a federal law for congress? >> i think we would have to go back and look at what kind of authority we would have or if the federal government and needs additional authority -- federal government needs additional authority and what we have been trying to do is ensure every prescribe -- every federal prescriber has some level of education as a relates to those. in terms of mandating our package, i do not know if i would have the authority or need additional authority. >> if you could work with my office on that, i would appreciate that and look forward to working with you to try and develop this. i think the chairman and i yield back. >> i think the gentleman did i recognize now mr. lynch. a judgment from massachusetts. mr. lynch: thank you mr. chairman and i want to associate myself with the words of the chairman and ranking member early on. there is much we can do on the treatment side, but upfront, there is also the opportunity to reduce the number of people that re

federal government has failed. this is unacceptable. and the federal government has a role to play and must do its part to ensure this never happens again and one of the things i would like that say is i think it's unfortunate and i want to compliment my colleague from michigan who has not made this a partisan issue. i will say i think the democratic candidates for president have made this an incredibly partisan issue and that's very unfortunate and hurts the people of flint because here at the federal level, which is what we're responsible for, the epa failed its core mission to protect our health and environment. the epa ignored its own experts about the drinking water in flint and didn't warn the public about the terrifics of drinking the water. the epa had the power to alert and they did not do so. in fact, an internal epa document said they didn't think "that flint is the community we want to go out on a limb for." to me that is scandalous. and i guess my question to the democratic nominees would be you're playing song from simon a
