we close texas with no regrets. texas is a wonderful business climate and austin is a fabulous place with a culture that, you know, the slogan is keep austin weird. and it's true, there's-- in every dimension except unorthodox behavior and thinking, there's a top worldclass university there. and it's very easy to encourage people to move to austin where we don't have it locally so that's been a decision on our part. >> so what should states and cities be thinking about in trying to attract investment and businesses and tech talent like you've brought together with zello? >> yeah, i wonder how much, you know, they can do, you know, stay out of the way would be one, you know, one answer. again, a light touch. and it does feel like so much of it needs to be organic at universities. it's got to be key wherever you see these technology communities working and i guess government can help quite a lot there. >> so before zello, you founded tune-in, an audio streaming service, and many of you may not know it, but you've list

the kind of thing we do down in texas. we shoot people's ashes down out er space in our spare time but talking to tim building up to that, you know, building up to -- you know, frankly his passing away. making preparation for this thing and thought was that tim's ashes would reenter earth's atmosphere and some way we would all be ingesting tim and whatever tim might have ingested in material of knowledge or anything else so -- [laughter] i like to think of that was his comic absurdity of a laugh of -- a good hearted laugh that he might have had on us. there could be a little bit of tim out in the floating down in the parking lot right here.

there's even a strange little collection of black panther material at texas a&m. a conservative school in texas that has the archive. what we found in particular was fascinating. gives you window into the time and place where people are living moment to moment. where we found is that his wife at the time was pretty famous icon, kathleen cleaver. the famous photograph wearing a miniskirt and brandishing a rifle. she was seen as a strong feminist. what we found was a different story and how kathleen was treated and how the women in the counterculture were treated at the time. in kathleen's case their discipline her for misbehavior. one of the punishments was to require kathleen to write down what she did every day in the black panther of the sea of file a report with her husband. kathleen was the only panther fluent in french in algeria. she dealt with government ministers, demanding back to payments on rent and things like that. cc this in detail day-to-day accounting of what's going on. they're getting this crazy sense of having -- show up on his doorstep begging

[applause] that is worth cheering for. and in 2016, you all became the first to send an all women delegation to congress. [applause] sec. castro: that is something else to be quite proud of. meanwhile in texas, over the years we have produced some great leaders and very proud democrats. folks like aubrey jordan, and anne richards, and president lyndon johnson. and we also have some great young democrats. i spent a lot of time today at folks at a roundtable and at a couple other events. and what i learned is that you all take your politics is seriously as we take our barbecue, which is very seriously.

sam returned home to texas in 1973. sam johnson has served our country selflessly in his air force career and here in the house of representatives since he was elected to the house in 1991. he has been an advocate for our armed forces, our veterans and america freedom. 15 years ago, i gave my floor speech marking 30 years since mr. johnson returned home. it is a privilege to honor my friend and mentor on his 45th return anniversary. sam johnson, welcome home. the speaker pro tempore: are there any additional requests for one-minute speeches? the chair lays before the house the following personal requests. the clerk: leaves of absence for mr. lobiondo and for tomorrow and miswatson coleman of new jersey for today. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. the requests are granted. under the speaker's announced policy of january 3, 2017, the gentleman from florida, mr. rutherford is recognized as the designee of the majority leader. mr. rutherford: i recognize john tonchinga to recognize his birthday. born in dover, new

i went to the arche in fort worth, texas. at one point, i pulled a box that contained guardian records and becaage had money back then because of oil, the u.s. government had given themar an, white guardians to manage wealth. this was a deeply racist system. when was looking through this book, i pulled a becomes on the guardian and foud this old logbook, and it was looking thro h it. i woulee the name of one guardian, and i would often see five osage whose wealth they had managed. if the osage had died, somebody wrote the word dead o their name. in one case there was an osage, and it had the word dead. .ext osage, dead, dead, dead, dead, all five then i looked at another guardian. they had about 12 osage ose fortunes they had overseen, 50% of them were dead.ed this defny national death rate, and it was documents like that going back to your question, that gave y sense of the breadth of this conspiracy. it opened thl whole word up and demolished my original notion of the book, which was really a story about who did it. wh beca

the gentleman from texas. mr. sessions: mr. speaker, thank you very much. i appreciate the distinguished gentlewoman for her help making sure the rules committee effectively and carefully got their work done this evening and i want to thank the gentlewoman. i do know it's 3:30 in the morning. the entire committee, the entire rules committee, was prepared on both sides and i thank the gentlewoman and the staffs that were included. mr. speaker, members of congress that were elected by their respective districts come to washington to represent their districts. but perhaps more importantly, some bit of those people also the nto account not just representation of their district, but the pride and authorship they have in particular about america. about being a part of america and a standing -- us standing together. tonight we are going to have a chance to say, back to one of our members, who has come to washington -- washington, d.c., representing her home of puerto rico, home territory of puerto co, and to say back to

woodall: i yield to the gentleman from texas. mr. poe: yes, the gentleman from georgia is absolutely correct. i am aware of this matter. also, i am aware that you, the chairman goodlatte, 60 members of this claim ber last year to urge the justice department to finalize -- chamber last year to urge the justice department to finalize certainty. even though it's not clear there is a statutory obligation under the a.d.a. for the department of justice to act which is why h.r. 620 doesn't address that issue specifically. i'll yield back to the gentleman. mr. woodall: i thank the gentleman for his guidance. of course, there was no opportunity for the a.d.a. to anticipate the internet, to anticipate websites and so it's unclear whether or not congress intended for websites to fall inside the public ccommodations statute. judge, all of the small businesses, everyone with a website presence, mr. chairman, is unclear about whether or not they're violating the law. they don't even have a framework of guidance so they could comply with the laws.

i conclude that texas has a smaller percentage of whites than the national average. yet we are a deep, red state and the reason is because republicans routinely get, routinely get, 40-45% of the latino vote. routinely our governor picking the second governor elected whose 50% of the latino vote in his first election. he did so by running a television ad and a television ad was emblematic of what else was going on in his campaign for the television at the did his mother-in-law saying nice things about him. latinos looked at it and said wait a minute, his mother-in-law is one of us. he's married to one of us and angles looked at it and said that son of a [bleep] to get his mother-in-law to say nice things about him. [laughter] but when bush iran for reelection as governor in 1998 is only the second republican since 1872 to be governor of texas the majority of our statewide tickets were not white men they were the minority. women, latinos, african-american and asian-american made a majority of our statewide ticket and one of texas republicans keep that mindset of we are
