mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. let me just say that we are speaking with one voice tonight and that is on behalf of the young women, the young girl who was been abducted by boko haram. thankfully there's absolutely no divide between republicans or democrats and really the world. the world is speaking out. this is absolutely outrageous. but it is part of a trend and a surge that is happening in many parts of the world, including in africa. in somalia, we know the terrible killing spree they went nonkenya, nairobi not long ago. al qaeda in the peninsula. groups in mali. and selecca in the central african republic and boko haram. we need, and it's called for in this resolution, number nine of the whereases in be it resolved, i should say, calls on the president to provide congress a comprehensive strategy to counter this egrowing threat posed by radical islamic terrorist groups. they are bad, mr. speaker, and they are getting worse. many of us have been calling in a bipartisan way for years that boe coe ha -- boko har

mr. smith: mr. speaker, i rise in strong support of the venezuela human rights and democracy protection act and to thank my distinguished colleague, chairwoman ileana ros-lehtinen, for her bold leadership in calling attention to the deplorable human rights situation in venezuela and for creating this meaningful diplomatic tool to assist the venezuelan people in resisting tyranny, first tyranny opposed by hugo chavez and now that of his understudy in oppression, maduro. at his core, this important initiative authorizes targeted sanctions to those who are responsible for violence and abuse, namely members of the maduro regime. the regime's silencing of democracy advocates such as mr. lopez is a violation of fundamental human rights and is an example of what makes this piece of legislation so fitting and so necessary. i also support the bill's redirection of funds towards supporting civil society groups in venezuela involved in promoting respect for democracy and fundamental freedoms, most importantly

mr. smith: thank you, madam chair. i now yield two minutes to the gentlelady from illinois, ms. duckworth. the chair: the gentlewoman from illinois is recognized for two minutes. ms. duckworth: thank you. i thank the gentleman for yielding. i rise in support of the en bloc package, including my amendment, which will strength our military families. mr. speaker, last mother's day i traveled to afghanistan with a bipartisan group of members of congress. we heard firsthand about the difficult mental and physical challenges our brave service men and women must overcome. one such challenge was their maternity leave policy which is and n line with the family medical leave act. currently they can take six weeks of maternity leave. this is six weeks less than mandated by the family and medical leave act. my amendment, which is based on my widely supported bipartisan bill, the military opportunities for mothers or m.o.m. act, would give service members the option of extending leave to the same amount that's guaranteed to their c

and so i yield back. >> mr. smith. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i do want to address a couple of pieces of this issue. the process and the substance and clarify that my political argument was on the process and that by offering this up without a mandatory offset, input is in an awkward position that you could oppose it based upon the process and then be accused to some degree, as i was accused by mr. conaway, of not caring about the substance of the issue and that is why it was so important. i also want to point out that i was informed that the majority new there was a mandatory score and choosing to ignore it. the gentleman seemed surprised when that was brought up and i have to take him at his word that he didn't know that that issue is out there. but as it was explained to me, he was choosing to ignore the mandatory solution which put us in an opera position. and so believe me, that was the only thing i was talking about was talking about politics him of putting a in that position not to vote on the substance of the issue. and i will do one thi

those are all good things for this country. >> mr. smith, i'm going to -- since mr. wolf brought up obama care, i did want to ask you about that as well. not, you know, on the health care side or the legitimate social policy side, but as a matter of the economy, is obama care a drag on the economy or a boost to the me? >> well, i think the obama care affect on the economy over a period of time will be largely neutral when it's caused people like small business people and for that matter fedex to do for 100,000 of our employees and their families is to change the structure of our health care so there's much more patient involvement, higher deductibles, higher co-pays. so that will offset to some degree the increased transfers to the people that did not have health care. i think overall it will be relatively neutral in the short-term, longer term maybe more problematic. >> mr. smith, mr. wolf, we're going to have to leave it there. thank you so much for joining us today. >> thank you. >> up next, president obama threatens more sanctions against russia and defends his f

. >> to come back to mr. smith on that. how many export terminals do you anticipate will actually be constructed? >> i can't really say mr. chairman. >> give me your best guess. you're an export a 10 -- you're an expert on this. >> first of all there are terminals being built right now. in terms of making predictions about what will happen subsequently, my experience is that i came to the job from industry. i spent 11 years at chevron before it came to government. i worked on the terminal what was an import terminal. if you'd asked me at that point the question you would've asked the was how many terminals to import lng would've been built i probably would've made to estimate because i was working in that field. i'm going to demeter from giving a numeric total because our collective faith and our collective -- -- >> we of the seven permits after already, 24 permits that are still pending. do you think we will build 31 after most? >> i can safely say that i do not think 31 terminals will be built. >> do you think we will bui

>> she met brad pitt filming "mr. and mrs. smith." they were friends on set, and they just got to know each other. >> brad and angelina's steamy on camera relationship had the entertainment magazines buzzing. the media quickly dubbed them brangelina. >> you think this story is going to have a happy ending? >> but talks of romance between the two ignited a firestorm of bad press. >> angelina took some hits at first for this relationship. >> around the time that angelina met brad pitt, you know, he was married to jennifer aniston. they had this fairy tale wedding, and they were hollywood's it couple. >> but after months of rumors about mr. and mrs. smith, hollywood's it couple split. although brad and angelina denied dating during his marriage, they debuted as a couple in 2005, and in 2012, they announced their engagement. >> they'd been together for nearly ten years. so they are the real deal. >> brad and angelina defied the odds, changing the narrative around their relationship. angelina's transformation didn't stop there. >> hey, ang

we will start with you mrs. smith, if you can give us a presentation and go from there. and after we aare done with tha, we will open up to public comment. >> supervisors, good afternoon, this is a great pleasure to come to you and talk about this collaboration that we have with other city agencies, workers and most importantly residents of public housing. i will give you a little background. and then we have our regional administrator here to talk about the rad program. and ultimately will be talking about the reenvisioning and rad for preservation of public housing in san francisco. and then we are going to talk about tenant protections and tenant engagement, which we feel is very important in this process. and also our labor communications and work with our employees and bargaining units. >> mrs. smith, before you go on, is the slide set up to show the public? >> sfg-tv, we have a powerpoint. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i am new at this -- i wonder if this works. it doesn't. so the san francisco housing authority was established in 1938, under california state gove

thank you mr. chairman. >> thank you, mr. smith. we go now to albio sires of new jersey. >> thank you, mr. chairman. let me stirs start by recognizing the hard work of frederica wilson from florida and my colleague from new jersey, chris smith. i've known chris smith many years, this is a passion of his, and i'm very proud of the fact that he represents new jersey, and especially his hard work on sex trafficking. and of course, i'd be remiss if i didn't mention my colleague from florida ileana ros-lehtinen and her hard work that she has always, always put forward in efforts like this. and mr. chairman, i thank you for holding this markup. for holding this markup and authorizing the administration to impose targeted sanctions on individuals responsible for ordering and carrying out the warranted violence against empty government demonstrators in venezuela that began three months ago. since the anti-government process began in february, at least 41 people have died. hundreds have been jailed. beaten, and injured at the hands of venezu

so, mr. smith, can you describe the approvals and what the role of each agency are? >> there are two primary agencies involved in the process. there's the department of energy which is actually grants authorization to export the molecule and then there's a federal energy rigatoni commission that grants permission to build the plant. so they are both critical and important to get the project up and running and importing the natural gas. >> mr. smith, what are the specific criteria making the public interest determinations? there's a number of criteria is used on the case-by-case basis. we have to look at a wide range of factors important for american consumers and industry and the national security. we look at international affects and prices on impacts and consumers on industrial customers, so those are things we have to consider for each of these applications. >> people call me but i just want to make sure that i respect how your name is pronounced. are you aware of any provision and under the public interest information for benefiting the u.s. foreign-policy? >> we

mr. smith, studies that the d.o.e. has commissioned have found that export of natural gas will have a net benefit on the economy and that there is significant potential here for bringing more wealth to our country and creating more american jobs, something i think we all agree with. the gas technology institute, a not for profit research lab that i am proud to have in my district has been at the for forefront of technologies that make natural gas development saver, more efficient, sustainable and has helped make the natural gas success story a win in our industry. do you see that efforts and capital investments in exporting more natural gas will also have develop greater use of natural gas domestically? the use of l&g as transportation fuel or to meet its domestic demand to generate electricity? >> thank you for the question. first of all, the department of energy has a long relationship with the gas technology institute. that relationship has actually been very instrumental in developing many of the technologies that

smith: thank you, mr. chairman. i yield myself the balance of my time. the problems are there in the drafting of this amendment. yes, first, it does ask for the afghan government to step up and find money and do this. but if they don't it puts d.o.d. in the position of reimbursing them and that would come from money they would give to afghanistan anyway but that money they're giving to afghanistan, i'm not sure that's true, first of all, second of all, whatever money we're giving to afghanistan, we're giving it to them for a reason. so i think there is a problem here. there's also the problem of how can -- do we have a list of these contractors who have been illegally taxed? versus legally taxed? and how do we sort through all that? i'm not going to belabor the point. i'm going to oppose the amendment. i know how this works. i'm going to lose. so we'll work it out in conference. but i do have serious concerns about this amendment the way it is written and would urge a no vote. the chair: the gentleman yields back th

mr. smith faced the judge this afternoon pleading no contest to a weapons charge where he fired a .45-caliber handgun at a san jose house party that turned violent. no one was hurt. he also was found in possession of illegal firearms and weapons clips. smith also pled no contest to a dui last year when he crashed his pickup into a tree in the evergreen area of san jose. he was also accused of swimming out his license plate in that incident to avoid detection. now, the district attorney's office insisted today that there was no special treatment, no plea bargain. >> the defendant, mr. smith, changed his plea on all counts so it wasn't a negotiated plea deal with the d.a.'s office. he changed his plea and the sentencing will be determined by the corporate that's the difference between a plea bargain where you see charges dropped or an agreed sentence. here he merely changed his plea and the sentencing will be determined later. >> reporter: mr. smith could be sentenced anywhere from 0 days t

mr. smith: thank you, mr. speaker. let me just say that we are speaking with one voice tonight and that is on behalf of the young women, the young girl who was been abducted by boko haram. thankfully there's absolutely no divide between republicans or democrats and really the world. the world is speaking out. this is absolutely outrageous. but it is part of a trend and a surge that is happening in many parts of the world, including in africa. in somalia, we know the terrible killing spree they went nonkenya, nairobi not long ago. al qaeda in the peninsula. groups in mali. and selecca in the central african republic and boko haram. we need, and it's called for in this resolution, number nine of the whereases in be it resolved, i should say, calls on the president to provide congress a comprehensive strategy to counter this egrowing threat posed by radical islamic terrorist groups. they are bad, mr. speaker, and they are getting worse. many of us have been calling in a bipartisan way for years that boe coe ha -- boko har

and especially to mr. smith. my name is joe and me and my family had agreed to follow the freedom that we enjoy as americans i was deeply involved in organizing the demonstration on tiananmen square. it was the greatest honor of my life that of the communist government, which made up of its list of its so-called tiananmen number of me number five on the list after chai ling. that was the first time i name showed up in any media. i did not receive that honor for there were many others that i know that honor and thoughts more briefly, but i and organizing the protest i was responsible for building the night works that provide the medical support there was an ambulance every five minutes, and there was no traffic accident ever. and through that network, many people for the first time in their life were able to speak up their hope for freedom and democracy that was a fistful of hope and freedom. that is what i will never forg forget. i belief in the history books are written, the protests will be seen as a major resp

and not much different than what mrs. smith described. the capital needs is $1.6 billion across the portfolio. the funding is received under the united states act, and while a steady source of funding many years ago, it's unreliable. per the cuts, it's a reflection of the appropriation process that congress goes on the budget. >> just on that, is there anything you can share at some point later with my office. how the funds have changed from hud over the years, there was probably a stronger entitlement where the funds across the nation was rising and then over the years not around at all. historically that would be good to see the difference. >> the slide before my presentation shows your funding decline over time. if you factor inflation and things, we would be happy to come in and show you. the housing authority specifically and the overall federal budget how it's impacted over time as you take in inflation, be happy to do that. >> thank you, i am interested in before 1991. >> okay, and the other aspect of the way that the annual contri

mr. smith? >> the problem with the budget thing is, you know, as i said up front, the administration has said they want more money. so, yes, the budget is impacting our strategy at this point. but that's a choice we all made. i would turn sequestration off tomorrow if i could. but it's there. so we have to make decisions in response to that. the guard and reserve have put forward a plan to moving around their assets that is set in place to save $12 billion over five years. and i've met with and fielded several phone calls from my general in my state. i said, if you don't like that plan, give us another one that saves the same amount of money. because that's where we're at. we're not in a position to get rid of cuts, and not find savings. so that's the only challenge we have is the budget challenge. but keep in mind, this is the number the congress set. sequestration is going to keep coming for eight years. so if we don't want to see that happen, we'll have to make some changes here legislatively

and i guess as a result, respectfully disagree with my ranking member, mr. smith. mr. chairman, and members of this committee, we have looked at this issue before. now, this amendment, the prior, the base amendment speaks to 11 ticonderoga class cruisers as well as three dock landing ships. we call them lsds which we know are critical for the marines. let's look at what these ships do. we already know from testimony we've heard from admiral lock ln le lear, we grew from a sea-controlled environment to a ballistic missile defense environment. he also said that he cannot meet the requirements as we pivot to asia pacific with a number of ships in the fleet inventory now. removing 14 more doesn't help with the situation. general amos has already tested that he has a vast shortage of requirements when it comes to amphibious ships. three more out of service doesn't help the marines as well. but i thought one of the most telling testimonies we received was from retired admiral patrick walsh who made it very clear that you need, you need the cruisers to work with the new platf

not only today, but for many years in the past, and especially to mr. smith. my name is zhou fengsuo. agreed -- they freedom we enjoy as americans. 25 years ago, i was deeply involved in organizing demonstration on tiananmen square. it is the greatest honor of my life that the communist , which made up of 21,list of the tiananmen designated me as number five on the list. that was the first time my name showed up in any media. , did not deserve that honor for there are many others who i know worked harder and thought more bravely, but i will always be proud of of the work in helping organize the tiananmen protests. i was responsible for building provide the that while dashboard while people were pouring in from all corners of beijing. there were no traffic accidents, ever. through that network, many people for the first time in their lives, were able to speak up their hopes for a better china. their love for freedom and a festival of was hope and freedom. that is what i will never forget. i firmly believe when the history books of the 21st century are written,

this amendment that mr. mcgovern and myself and ms. lee and mr. smith and mr. garamendi is very simple. it just says that after 2014, if the president decides that he needs to increase the number of troops in afghanistan, then we will vote on it. do you know how pathetic it is that we're asking? a few years ago president obama proposed to the afghan government, karzai, who's a crook, that we will have an agreement that we will stay there 10 more years and we'll sending $2 billion or $3 billion a month just to take care of your needs in afghanistan when we're cutting food programs for children, senior citizens and can't fix the potholes, can't fix the bridges in america and then you will not allow us to have a bate on our responsibility based on the constitution that a young man or young woman who will die for this country or lose a leg and arm or their mind that we can't have a debate. what a pathetic, what a pathetic time for the house of representatives, and with that, mr. speaker, i will yield back to the gentleman from massachusetts. the speaker pro tempore
