reporter: can i follow-up to scott's question? all-of-the-above as far as pay-for for infrastructure? mr. mccarthy: he asked about public-private. that's not a pay-for. that's a model in which you can utilize transportation funding. reporter: do you oppose increasing at all the gasoline tax? mr. mccarthy: you know, i'm from california. the average price of a gallon of gasoline in america -- and i can get this wrong because i'm from california -- is roughly probably about $2.80, $2.90. in california, we pay about $4.10. the current governor was shocked by this. he was so shocked last week that he wanted an investigation why the price of gasoline in california was so high. this was after they had raised the gasoline tax in california. california, just in the last -- i might not get this exactly correct. in the last five years, i believe the revenues in california, just the excess what they have been able to grow, is the entire budget of wisconsin or in arizona. do you know how much money they increased when they had all that increas

mr. scott: thank you, madam speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding. i rise in support of the secure act, a bipartisan proposal that addresses our nation's retirement security crisis. several of the bill's provisions are under the jurisdiction of the committee on education and labor and i'd like to discuss two of them. first, the secure act makes it easier for small businesses to band together and form multiple employer plans. this is expected to increase workers' access to retirement savings programs with potentially lower cost investment options. secondly, the secure act includes a carefully and narrowly tailored safe harbor for the selection of annuity provider -- for an annuity provider for 401-k plans. this limited safe harbor is intended to ease employers' concerns about their fiduciary liability and to expand workers' access to annuities and other lifetime options -- lifetime income options. i want to thank chairman neal and ranking member brady for their leadership and i urge my colleagues to support the secure act. i yield back the balance of

mr. rush, from the chicago area. when we were talking about treatment for opioids, said that's great. you're doing that. the people i represent, represented had issues in terms of crack cocaine and all you just tchamed drugies and put them in prison. that affected what we wrote and how we legislated. we moved away from calling it treatment for opioids to people with substance abuse because we realize wed needed to think roader as a country and as a congress. now it's a law to deal with opioids and mental health services. mr. chairman, i don't have objection to this amendment. but there's a lot we have done, a lot more we need to do. i'll talk about some of the things we need to do going forward. but i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yield back. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from california. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. he amendment is agreed to. it is now in o

all know that the pharmacy we have to actually deliver as well as of the future and use and you got scott because off as mr gold just said it before we have a very strong european parliamentary group that balance of power means that we really will be heard and moment we have to look not just at european elections but we have municipal elections coming up and if you see higher the marines are performing in the cities or in my federal state and. then you'll see that in many of the cities we've become the leading guard and we want to maintain just possession of these consolidated doesn't course that's an enormous task because i'm so if you were the one not afraid of it being too much for us not the total of what is but this is a clear mandate for as an interim course trance i think placed in others we have time to kill and we have to remove to go beyond the usual political ritual in this . environment hard right to exert insurers and wrote political support we have can only translate it into a clear political its mandate for climate protect protection. ok. you'll emulation make him go. you t

. >> thank you, mr. chairman. chairman scott, ranking member fox, and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify on this administration's education priorities, which are also reflected in the president's fiscal year 2020 budget. i thought it would be useful to begin by recalling congress' commitment when it created the u.s. department of education 40 years ago. then congress vowed that the move would, quote, not increase the authority of the federal government over education or diminish the responsibility for education, which is reserved to the states. and i'll add communities and parents. yet over the past 40 years, federal taxpayer spending on education has increased about 180%, amounting to over $1.2 trillion cumulatively, and we're still 24th in reading, 25th in science, and 40th in math when compared to the rest of the world. doing the same thing and more of it won't bring about new results. a great education shouldn't be determined by where you live, nor by who you know. it shouldn't

australia's prime minister, scott morrison, has been celebrating after the country's general election. full, official results haven't yet been declared, but mr morrison's coalition is just a few seats short of an outright majority. the opposition labor party, which polls had suggested would win, has already admitted defeat. in austria the corruption scandal that's engulfed politics there has led the country's chancellor to call for snap elections in september. the leader of the far—right freedom party resigned yesterday after a video emerged in which he promised government contracts to a woman posing as a russian oligarch. and voters in switzerland are taking part in a referendum to decide whether to tighten the country's gun laws to conform with eu regulations. all members of europe's open— border schengen area have been told to restrict automatic and semi—automatic weapons since the attacks in paris four years ago. meanwhile the largest election the world has ever seen has taken place in india — where 900 million people were eligible to vote. voting ends today, after an acri
