director general haden as one of our witnesses. the general has said that right now we are not getting the proper monitoring and verification provisions that we need. and he said were he still advising the president, general haden would tell him that this deal could not be adequately verified. that is why we must take action to ensure that the administration does not agree to a week, a bad nuclear deal and we must not waiver in our resolve. unless negotiations result in an agreement that ends iran's other illicit activities and ensures that iran will stop all enrichment and will dismantle its nuclear infrastructure, then we must act to impose and strengthen and expand sanctions against the regime and the administration must walk away and abandon these foolish and dangerous talks. thank you, mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from illinois, mr. quigley, for five minutes. mr. quigley: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, the 113th congress will go down in hi

was not necessarily to follow the law as stated by the national security council spokesman caitlin haden on june 3rd. i quote from caitlin haden, notification requirements should not be construed to this set of circumstances. that's your strong opinion today. correct? >> well, i agree. think that was probably the core of this conversation and exchange between congressman scott and mr. preston on the authority the president had. and i agree with that. >> i'm just trying to clarify this. then for future reference, is it your opinion that the administration would have this same liberty to disregard or to construe that it is not necessary to follow the 30 days' notice in future similar situations? >> the way i'd answer -- i actually answered it again this morning once or twice -- is that first, the constitutional responsibilities and authorities the president has, which i happen to -- even though when i was in the senate i would challenge the administration at the time on some of this. but i think that in my opinion, the constitution is clear on that. when there are extraordinary circumstanc

what the heck am i doing in this room at this time question mark i haden it occurred to me one thing to contribute to the conversation. setting aside how words are parsed, the idea of the human to be at the ought very center of our considerations. the most important human domain is the u.s. home front. domain dwarfs everything else we have heard. that? you have already heard quoted the classic definition of war as a clash of wills, each side trying to impose his will on the other. has twoin a democracy dimensions. worried about that. the will of the u.s. military has never been broken and will never be broken. i'm utterly confident of that of stop but there is a political dimension and that is a different matter altogether. mystics,t achieve our whatever you think of them, in vietnam because quite frankly the other side broke our will to continue the fight. much specify when that happened. panel, iation for this read a land power theorist to present a very interesting article with a short paragraph , the foundation of pax americana. we are not wrong and we never will be. one indicati

so now the administration, much of their work done in closed haden door sessions without local input, are trying to draft a proposed administrative rule that takes the supreme court decisions, it misconstrues their decisions, and manipulates their decisions, so that in effect it turnses the cases that we're -- turns the cases that were attempting to put limitations on what the clean water act authorized the government to do and use that as a justification for the agency to broaden its jurisdiction and increase the controls it has over waters of the united states. and individuals. and in so doing, so doing, it actually harms people. overregulation seems to be one this administration's hallmarks and this bill in a bipartisan manner, will address the proper way to go about modifying the clean water act and its relation to federal power, such that it will not further stifle jobs, economic growth or hurt people while it still protects the environment. this resolution, the bill, the rule before us is still a good bill, it deals with two vitally important pieces of legislation . i urge their

so there's a whole thing at the end of the report, where haden is testifying and so, report has his testimony, and next to it, a -- what the report calls misrepprepare sensations and, his position is, this is what i was told, and i didn't run the program, and i didn't run it. and this is what records we're showing. so, whether people lied is an interesting open question. it's not resolved in this report. by the way, how this is playing out, let me show you some headlines, this is the guardian, and, in washington, torture the stain on america, and then you also have some papers from the mid-east, this is the 'daily news', out of egypt, u.s. warned the heightened tensions. and then, this is from arab news, c.i.a. torture brutal and ineffective. and also, this from the u.a. e., c.i.a. lies and brutality exposed. so, those are on the front pages. arthur, a republican, you are next. caller: good morning. this sounds like a bunch of political correctness gone haywire, and, i think the main thing, is to go back to the context of you know, things that were happening at the time. 9/11 and, such, and,

in a recent article in the jacksonville daily news regarding my no-vote on this bill, mike haden, a retired air force colonel and present director of governmental relations for military officers association of america, known as more, said, and i quote, an e-5 service member would lose more than $800 in purchasing power annually when the bill takes effect. this is going to cost them a a month just $600 in pay. in the same article, jim, a retired marine living in jacksonville, and serves as a senior vice commander of the local d.a.v. chapter said, that cuts could adversely affect military families. charlie brown, a quarter master for the v.f.w. agreed with master davis and said, the bill doesn't accurately reflect what service members actually deserve. mr. speaker, i would like to quote james madison and path buchanan. james madison wrote, and i quote, the power to declare war including the power to judge the causes of war is fully and exclusively vested in the legislature. mr. speaker, for too long we have not had policy debates on the floor of this house whether it be iraq, syria, or afghan
