enenthank you, madam chair. -- mr. enyart: thank you, madam chair. thank you, ranking member peterson. madam speaker, i rise today in support of this important and long overdue legislation. when i ran for congress i pledged to work for southern illinois' agricultural industry. that's why i voted in committee to advance this bipartisan five-year bill. the inability of the house to pass a farm bill was amongst the biggest failings of the last congress. this is by no means a perfect bill. it cuts far too deeply to the snap program. there are people in my district and in yours who depend on this program and while we must reduce the deficit, we shouldn't be doing that on the backs of those who can't afford to put food on the table. however, i believe that funding will be bolstered here on the floor of the house and in the conference. but let's look at what the bill does right. it funds infrastructure upgrades for midwestern waterways so farmers can get their crops to market. it increases energy access in rural america, improving efficiency and reducing th

thank you, madam president. mr. casey: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from pennsylvania. mr. casey: thank you, madam president. i rise -- a senator: would the senator withhold? mr. casey: yes. mr. reid: madam president? the presiding officer: mr. leader. mr. reid: i ask unanimous consent that when i complete my request here that the senator from pennsylvania be recognized. the presiding officer: yes. mr. reid: i ask unanimous consent that following -- the following amendments be in order to be called up and that they not be subject to modification or division, with the exception of technical modifications to the merkley and paul amendments contained in this agreement. the amendments are manchin, 1268, pryor, 1298, merkley, 1237, as modified with the changes that are at the desk; boxer, 1240; reed of rhode island, 1224; cornyn, 1251; lee, 1208; paul, 1200, as modified with the changes at the desk; heller, 1227; and cruz 1320. finally, that no second-degree amendments be in order to any of these amendments prior to votes

my book, "becoming madame mao." she was evil, was responsible for murdering so many chinese people, but in the meantime her fantasy. anyway, september 9, 1976, mao died. october 8 madame mao was overthrown and two months later i was announced. the next eight years i was punished, for guilty by association. and by the time i had no way out, i was, put it that way. if i remained in china i would be dead today. >> so at what point did you determine you wanted to come to the united states? and nation that you're grown up learning to hate and fear. >> i was coughing blood and i've got shadows on my lungs, shadows on my liver, and passed out and i was ordered to work in tibet. and i saw, like i was going, my life was ending. it was then my old friend, an actress, she was in china, she was told not to be my friend. and then she went to america. we were best friends and she was going up a superstore in china, i was going down the switch. after she went to america the last emperor, movie, she felt safe to contact me. so she

>> madam clerk? >> thank you, supervisor avalos. thank you, mr. president. item 19, of course, designates the examiner and the chronicle as the official newspapers which would carry our official or legal advertising. item 19 is the item wherein which the city publishes its advertisements to advertise the city services that are occurring in all of our different departments. based upon the discussion at the budget and finance committee last week, i understand there may be a desire for supervisors to add additional newspapers to the already five neighborhood newspapers that are included in item 19. and there was a concern at the committee that the fund called the outreach advertising revenue fund may not be able to build the cost if we were to add those new newspapers. essentially, oca estimates that about 220,000 is in or will be in the advertising revenue fund which would mean 10% of that or 22,000 would be what we would have to pay for that advertising. and just for a brief background, the administra

madam speaker. at this time, i recognize the lady from missouri for three minutes. >> the gentlelady from missouri is recognized. >> we do a lot of things here in washington and discuss many types of legislation. sometimes the impact of what we do get lost in the debate. i want to remind my colleagues that this will impact people. there is an injustice occurring in our society one unborn baby who was six months along develops a medical condition. the doctor gives him a seizure in the well because it can feel pain and an operation is conducted to correct the problem so the baby can be brought to full form. another baby down the street does not receive anesthesia and is ripped apart limb by limb by an abortion who crushes his crushes his skull. this is wrong. i rise today in support of hr 1797, the pain capable unborn child protection act which would prohibit an abortion of an unborn child that has surpassed 20 weeks on the basis that children at the stage of invelopment can feel pain. light of the re

polis: thank you, madam chair. ery simple amendment to reduce funding for the procurement of 14 ground base interceptor missiles that simply don't work the re inefficient and for refurbishment of the missled field at fort greely, alaska until they can make sure these are adequately tested and work. it's simply a question of making sure something works before we spend additional money. but congress needs to ensure that these missiles are effective before we continue to provide the department of defense with a blank check. congress needs to verify every penny of taxpayer money we spend. we have a time of tradeoffs and of course it's nice to be able to support every program, but during this time of deficits and sequestration, we need to make sure we're vigilant to ensure that money we spend on the pentagon actually results in the maximum amount of heightened national security. since 1997, this weapon system has missed its target more than half the time. and my amendment would limit the funding for the procurement of 1

and with that, madam president, i would yield the floor. a senator: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from colorado. mr. bennet: thank you, madam president. i want to first thank the senator from south dakota for his indulgence for five minutes or so to do this, and the senator from indiana for yielding his time to me. we got a little bit out of order on the floor. but i really want to come before the night was out to speak about an incredible chance we have with respect to fixing our broken immigration system. over the next few weeks the senate has a golden opportunity to do something great, to do something important, to do something that shows that washington can actually work, that we're aligned to the priorities of the american people, that we can take on hard challenges and solve them. that's the opportunity before us, and i have to say thank you to all of my colleagues that served in this so-called gang of eight and worked, i would say not even in a bipartisan way. i would say in a nonpartisan way to fix problems that afflict our economy and ou

dent: thank you, madam speaker. i must take exception to some of the remarks i have heard here today. this amendment is absolutely necessary for this country, for the consumer. we are talking about saving consumers $3.5 billion a year, saving 20,000 manufacturing jobs. i most strenuously object that say the price of sugar is so low. when the price of sugar drops below a certain level, the federal government will buy that excess sugar, and sell it to ethanol producers at a loss. the taxpayer and the consumer is royally abused twice. this is protectionism at its worst. we all know it. it's time to reform this program. this is not a zero-zero policy as the proponents claim. this is going to cost taxpayers $239 million over the next several years. that's according to c.b.o. $80 million of taxpayer funded bailout could come as soon as later this year. this issue is about protecting manufacturing jobs. making sure that we have something closer to a market-based price. i represent hershey pennsylvania. i heard a statement

broun: thank you, madam chairman. my amendment would zero out our contribution to the brand new nato headquarters in brussels. and transfer that amount, more than $38 million, to the spending reduction account, to help us deal with our debt. this line item was -- within the bill is the very definition of ridiculous. u.s.'s furloughing civilian military personnel and sacrificing our own military readiness here at home. policies with which i disagree. and yet here we are spending -- sending millions of dollars overseas to build a lavish new headquarters for the international bureaucrats in nato. madam chairman, the planed nato head quarters are an unfortunate example of excess and waste. while every nato member nation is cutting back on overall spending, the new headquarters remains on track as a monument to bureaucracy. in total, the building will cost well over $1 billion to build and it's taken 13 years just to finalize the plans. if we are serious about confronting our spending problem, we must fundamentally reevalu

thank you so much, madam chairwoman. ms. stabenow: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from michigan. ms. stabenow: thank you, madam president. i want to take a moment before we vote today to recognize folks that have worked so hard to get us to this point. and first of all, i thank my colleagues in advance for coming together one more time and leading for rural america, for farmers, for ranchers, for the 16 million people, to have a job because of agriculture in this country. it's been a long road for the agriculture reform food and jobs act, and i have been so blessed and pleased to have the wonderful partner and ranking member, the distinguished senator from mississippi, as my partner every step of the way, and i want to thank him, look forward as we move forward. hopefully the house this time will complete their work and we will have the opportunity to go to conference and craft an agreement that we will then present back to the senate, but i can't thank senator cochran enough and the staff for their wonderful partnership. we start

noem: thank you, madam speaker. we heard the minority leader saying we needed to do with bills that dealt with jobs and the economy that the american people care about. well, the american people support ending late-term abortions. just look at the graphic up here that says 64% of americans believe abortion should not be permitted in the second three months of preg assistancey. 80% of americans believe abortions should not be permitted in the last three months of pregnancy. americans recognize that h.r. 1797, the pain-capable unborn child protection act needs to be passed. it needs to be done because it is the right thing to do. i've always been pro-life. i believe as a lawmaker i have a duty to protect those that are the most vulnerable. recently we've seen atrocities in this country committed against unborn babies, babies born alive. atrocities against these babies and their mothers. the details of that trial only highlight the need for us to protect women and to protect these babies from people like gosnell and pr

good afternoon madam chairman and board. i am representing north beach and the city of san francisco, and suggesting that we do not do the pagota dig, originally this is not in the master plan. and they want to spend 80 million dollars to dig two parallel tunnels under stockton street. and it never were planned on and they also do not have plans to put a station there, this is just going to be the (inaudible) left there and in turn, the person that has the right to that property on that, we paid 3 million dollars, and of our tax payer's money, for nothing. and to... they originally planned to stop the boring in china town and it makes much more sense to keep it that way and none of the extensive work on both forest street or on to the procidio will continue for at least 15 years so i strongly suggest not to do the dig of the pagota palace and leave north beach alone for the time being. >> stewart bloom, followed by greg giber and then mark gruberg. >> madam chairman and ladies and gentlemen. i live in north beach and i refle

thank you madam chair. i yield the floor. mr. inhofe: madam chairman? the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. inhofe: let me thank my very good friend from iowa who graciously allowed me to make a statement here. i am concerned about this. several of us have amendments we've been trying to get up for a long period of time. i quite frankly don't know what the status of the amendments and the bill are right now, whether we'll be getting to votes sooner or later. but i have one amendment that is one that i thought would be so acceptable that there wouldn't be any opposition to it. let me just very briefly tell you what it is. my amendment addresses the 2001 united states supreme court decision in zavillas. the court held the immigrants admitted to the united states then ordered removed couldn't be detained for more than six months. four years later, the supreme court came along and extended the decision to people here illegally as well. that's what we're talking about right now. we're talking about illegals that come into this country. as a r

schatz: thank you, madam president. i was very encouraged by the president's speech today for a number of reasons. but the main thing that i found encouraging is that he's obviously done waiting. and there are three reasons to be done waiting. the first is it's very unlikely given the current composition of the congress that the congress will take action in the 113th. we have to recognize that political reality. the second is that from an ecological standpoint, we don't have the luxury of waiting. we don't have 5 or 8 or 12 years to wait and deliberate. we need to take action now in order to reverse global climate change. and the third is a matter of law. under the e.p.a. versus massachusetts, the supreme court didn't just give the authority to the e.p.a. to regulate carbon as a pollutant under the clean air act. it actually requires that the e.p.a. move forward. so even if this president didn't believe in the science, even if this president weren't as passionate as he is about combatting climate change, he would be req

barrasso: thank you, madam president. madam president, i ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. barrasso: thank you. and i also ask unanimous consent that the senator from ohio, senator brown, have the opportunity to speak following me for up to ten minutes. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. barrasso: thank you. i ask unanimous consent to speak as if in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. barrasso: thank you, madam president. madam president, i come to the floor today as millions of students in high school and colleges across the country have recently graduated. i had an opportunity to attend a number of commencements across wyoming, to speak to a number of students who are graduating, and i note that president obama has also been out giving graduation speeches this year. at ohio state university, the president criticized those of us who warn that government doesn't always have the best answer. the president suggested that anyone who thinks washington has grown too inefficient or too ineffectiv

thank you, madam speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from texas. mr. hensarling: madam speaker, i just want to urge all my colleagues to support this bipartisan legislation to bring some relief to end users, promote economic growth, and jobs, and make congressional intent clear. again i urge all my colleagues to adopt it. yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: all time has been yielding back. the question is will the house suspend the rules and pass the bill h.r. 634, as amended. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, 2/3 of those voting having responded in the affirmative, the rules -- the gentleman from north carolina. mr. hensarling: i ask for the yeas and nays. the speaker pro tempore: the yeas and nays are requested. all those in favor of taking this vote by the yeas and nays will rise and remain standing until counted. a sufficient number having arisen, the yeas and nays are order

madam speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from indiana rise? >> thank you, madam speaker. i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, madam speaker. those who give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety. mr. messer: ben franklin uttered those words several hundred years ago, but his warning is still relevant today. reports of the national security agency has been monitoring the phone records and internet activities of ordinary citizens should concern every american. the president has said that these surveillance programs don't involve listening to people's phone calls or reading their emails. americans want to believe their president. yet, his tax agency lied about targeting conservative groups and his justice department spied on reporters

good afternoon, madam chair and members of the board and director. director of enforcement and sustain able streak, and thank you for inviting me and our team. in september of 2012, the enforcement division acquired a mobile command vehicle, through the department of homeland security grant the opportunity, and when emergencies disasters or special events occur, or require on-site incident command, the mobile command vehicle becomes a vital component of our mission. when enforcement received the van it did not come with an operating manual. we had to do the task and it took many hours to complete and performed this after hours, and with our existing tasks on top of that. and the van, currently to date has been deployed to the american cup and fleet vehicle and the chinese parade and most recently the cup series so far too, with 19 more to come. and great success at managing all of the traffic successfully. >> supervisor chin began as a parking control officer in 1994, and his duties now are managing and or overseeing the port property, and supervisor

davis: thank you, madam speaker. and i certainly want to thank my colleagues on both sides of the aisle because i think we've seen how people can come together on a serious issue like this that really does affect our national security. what's so important about this bill is i think it sends a message. it sends a message to perpetrators, but more than that it sends a message to bystanders that responding to bad behavior is an important and critical thing to do. we can celebrate the good behavior, and i think this is also a way of sending that message, but we're saying that bad behavior will not be tolerated. we see it not just in our armed forces but around the country. just recently a general from australia had a very concise and very strong message to his troops in saying that the standard that you walk past is the standard that you uphold. let's uphold the highest standard. retaliation drives people from not reporting sexual abuse and sexual crimes. we need it to be ok, ok to report because if people are fearing th

. >> yes madam president. thank you. i'm reading the statement on behalf of the commission and i'm here today instead of the vice president who was unavailable. the commission is concerned about recent media reports that the united states authorities are processing on a large scale the data of european union citizens using major u.s. on line service providers. programs such as the so-called prism and the laws on the basis of which such programs are authorized in danger the fundamental right of privacy and to data protection of e.u. citizens. the prism case as reported in the media is also likely to reinforce the concerns of e.u. citizens regarding the use of their personal data on line and in the cloud. already in 2012, 70% of the e.u. citizens were concerned that their personal data could be used for the purpose of their been the one for which it was collected. the prism case as reported in the media also highlights the difference between the european union and the united states approaches to data protection. whereas in

madam president i yield the floor. mr. coburn: madam president? the presiding officer: the senator from oklahoma. mr. coburn: thank you. i appreciate my colleague from texas and his earnest desire to solve the problems in front of us. i would say at the outset, the recognition over the last eight and a half, nine years of become in the senate is that we have a problem wind to solve and -- that we need to solve and i don't think anybody disagrees with that. i think there's two important points that the american people expect us to pay attention to. one is what reagan described as the shiny city on a hill and that people coming here make us better. there's no question about that. and that what he described was -- what he wanted was in 1986 was not all walls like single payer people wants and not all doors, like some people wanted, but a wall with doors. so there's two basic facts that confront us. one is that the rule of law is the glue that holds us together, and when we hear talk about the american people having confidence on whether or not we're
