california california being from california, we have our own versions of what's going on with the drought and certainly the science that i look at is different than the gentleman's look at the science he's at. but that's what policy debates are all about. we should debate that here in the congress and debate it in the senate and it shouldn't be decisions that are made unilaterally by any president of the united states. that's why we have a democracy here and not a king. and so, i would oppose this amendment and encourage all the members to oppose this amendment and yield back. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from wisconsin. mr. pocan: i yield back. the chair: the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from wisconsin. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the noes have it. mr. pocan: i would like a recorded vote. the chair: pursuant to clause 6, rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from wisconsin will be postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment number 10

and large portions of southern california and central california are in extreme or exceptional drought. this works out better for california as a whole since most of the major reservoirs are in northern california. shasta and oroville, for example, are spilling water, since they're only designed to capture about a typical season's rainfall. groundwater supplies will take longer to rebuild, but the replenished reservoirs will help. jay: well, they kind of go together. the main way we recharge aquifers in the central valley is with irrigating crops with surface water. sam: and there will be more surface water to go around this year. governor jerry brown: the drought is serious, and we have to take serious measure to respond. sam: but even though governor jerry brown removed the 25% water reduction mandate, we found many local water districts are not changing their calls for conservation or their rules. the san francisco public utilities commission says, "customers will still be asked for a voluntary 10% cut. and restaurants in the city will still serve water by request only." the santa c

huffman of california. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 820, the gentleman from california, mr. huffman, and a member opposed, will each control fife minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from california. mr. huffman: thank you, mr. speaker. this amendment strikes section 122 from the underlying bill, that section would prevent the b.l.m. from meeting its statutory obligations under the mineral leasing act to ensure that operators, quote, use all reasonable precautions to prevent the waste of oil or gas. the b.l.m. would also be prevented if this underlying provision remains for modernizing the existing 0-year-old oil and gas production rules to bring them into line with technological advancements in the industry. if that provision stays in the bill, states, stribes -- states, tribes, and federal taxpayers stand to lose royalty revenues when natural gas is wasted which a 2010 g.a.o. report estimated could amount to as much as $23 million annually in royalty revenue. if this provision remains in

the california constitution gives the california puc certain powers over certain entities subject to the control of the legislature. the puc act set forth the structure, funding and responsibilities of the cpuc. over the years there have been a number of initiatives to modify the cpuc's scope of authority and internal practices associated with exercising that authority. one of the latest attempts is ac a-1 1, proposed by assembly member mike gotto, who is a democrat from glendale. the bill would authorize the legislature to reassign all or some of the functions of the puc to other departments, boards or entities. as a constitutional amendment it would have needed 2/3 approval in both the assembly and the senate to be placed on the ballot where it would then need a majority approval of the voters of the state of california. the bill was scheduled to be heard yesterday in the senate but it was pulled from committee. you may have seen in your newspaper or social media today that other actions proposed by the governor seem to have displaced the aca 11 effort. it was pulled because the go

in california it doesn't seem so. prosecutors seem to have pretty big caseloads to indicate there are not too many of them. when there are not many prosecutors there are not capable hands to handle that amount and they are using the caseload like i said exponentially by reducing these crimes, crimes that were considered felonies, have been reduced to misdemeanors, they have reduced drug crimes so you get divergent programs. a lot of different kinds of crimes, even reclassifying criminals as victims, girls who have been trafficked, human trafficking, now being handled as the victims they really are and being divergent so when they get arrested for prosecution, theft, find out they have been trafficked, they wind up with no conviction whatsoever and get put in programs where they can find lives and stand on their own two feet. in california, finding ways were not overprosecuted. >> will they learn how the system works? >> they will. and to show how it works, the story is fictional although there are pieces of it based o

people talk about laws in california. this is my license to practice medicine in california. i took the oath, do good and do know harm and the third is patient autonomy. that's what i want to talk about today, because what is buried in our constitution is individual rights and liberties. there is no right more sacred than what we do with our own bodies. now my job as a doctor is to sit in that example room, answer the questions and empower my patients to make the decisions that best impact their lives. that's why i find the conscience protection act so objectionable, because it takes away a patient's right to make the decisions about their own health care. let me give you an example of what happened in our state. in northern california, earlier this year, a woman was going to have a baby and wanted to have that baby and scheduled to have a c-section but had kids and wanted a tubligation. that is acceptable. that is standard medical care. the problem was her hospital said she couldn't do it because they consciencely objected to it. that isn't a health care provider making a de

and all the fire activity in southern california. they did not pick up nearly as much rainfall as expected. they were getting so much hype that it did not deliver. and things are critically dry. and fires have really taken off. ocean beach, 60 degrees. walnut creek, tack on 40 degrees. that's summertime in the bay area with the fog having a big impact on the coastal temperatures. and even the wayside communities as well. and we traced in the surface winds. and there's the fog bank and has been cooling off parts of san francisco. san francisco is split in half. the western half has the foggy conditions. and temperatures are not so shot in san francisco. areas in the mid- to upper 90s. fairfield, 91 degrees. concord is only 85 degrees. and i've cooled off the forecast high mainly in the 90s for the afternoon. santa rosa is 83 degrees. an air alert for today and thursday. air quality taking a hit with the weather pattern. we would have that in place if we did not have the fire down the south. and that's adding to the mix of smoke drifti

not just california. because i was nominated for several things at once, i thought it was unfair to just passively let the processes unfold. in other words, somebody might be better suited for a position than i. if i stayed in it and once i was slotted in for one, someone else might have been eliminated for another. at the end of the three days we felt strongly called to california. i called the other places i had been dominated and withdrew from all those. i still wasn't on the final list here. it was like walking off. we didn't know if we would be chosen, how the election would go. it's a very public process. election of a bishop is -- we have what are called walk abouts. five different churches here in the bay area hosted each one a walk about and over 1,000 people that week came and asked questions. then they had the election two weeks later. >> what was the toughest question that someone asked you in the walk abouts, do you recall? >> that's a great question. the american south and the bay area are i
