MR. SPEAKER, THIS EVENING I HAVE TAKEN OUT THIS SPECIAL ORDER TO TALK ABOUT AN ISSUE THAT IS OF GRAVE... |
| 08:39:07 |
|
THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THE GENTLEMAN FROM CALIFORNIA WHO, BRINGING THIS ITEM UP, AND, MR. SPEAKER,... |
| 08:40:07 |
|
JUST TO ADD A COMMENT TO THAT, NOT ONLY HAS THERE BEEN A REFUSAL TO THAT, FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE... |
| 08:40:45 |
|
I APPRECIATE THAT. YOU CAN IMAGINE THE FRUSTRATION OF SOMEBODY THAT SITS DOWN WITH YOU, NEGOTIATES... |
| 08:41:33 |
|
LET ME JUST ADD THAT NOT ONLY ARE THEY OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE SOUTH BUT THEY ARE, WITHOUT A DOUBT, OUR... |
| 08:43:18 |
|
COLOMBIA'S A GOOD EXAMPLE. SOMEBODY WHO WAS BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THE DRUG CARTELS, WAS BRAVE ENOUGH... |
| 08:45:24 |
|
JUST TO TAKE HIS GREAT EXAMPLE ON PANAMA AND TO FURTHER BUILD ON COLOMBIA, IT'S VERY INTERESTING.... |
| 08:46:51 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEMAN FOR YIELDING AND HEADING UP THIS SPECIAL ORDER. I THOUGHT HI BETTER GET DOWN... |
| 08:47:40 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BELIEVE, THE GENTLEWOMAN FROM HINSDALE DROVE A HIGH LOADER?... |
| 08:47:50 |
|
A 10-TON LOADER THAT HAS A BASKET. |
| 08:47:53 |
|
IF I WITNESSED THAT I WOULD GET OUT OF THE WAY. |
| 08:47:56 |
|
I WAS AFRAID PEOPLE MIGHT KNOW IT IF I CRASHED IT. COY DRIVE IT FORWARD AND BACKWARD. IT IS A HUGE... |
| 08:49:59 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. I'D LIKE THE GENTLEMAN TO REPEAT THAT NUMBER SO AGAIN THE ACTUAL RAW NUMBER IN... |
| 08:50:12 |
|
THAT NUMBER IS, OUR EXPORTS TO CHILE GREW FROM $2.7 BILLION IN 2003 TO $12.1 BILLION IN 2008. AND... |
| 08:53:06 |
|
I WOULD SAY TO MY FRIEND, IT WAS NOT JUST -- IT WAS NOT JUST A CHANGE, IT WAS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE... |
| 08:53:54 |
|
I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT. THAT IS A MUCH STRONGER STATEMENT THAN THE STATEMENT THAT SHOULD BE MADE TO... |
| 08:55:14 |
|
IF I COULD RECLAIM MY TIME. THE GENTLEWOMAN IS SAYING THAT THE UNIONS IN COLOMBIA ARE SUPPORTIVE... |
| 08:55:24 |
|
79,000 WORKERS IN THE UNION SUPPORT THIS AGREEMENT. |
| 08:55:28 |
|
WE ARE CONSTANTLY HEARING, MR. SPEAKER, THAT UNIONS ARE OPPOSED TO THIS AGREEMENT. SEEMS TO ME UNIONS... |
| 08:56:27 |
|
I THINK THERE'S A DIG CONNECT IN THE COUNTRY WITH SOME OF THE UNIONS THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS IS... |
| 08:57:11 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. I WILL SAY TO MY COLLEAGUE SOMETHING I MENTIONED IN MY OPENING REMARKS AND I KNOW... |
| 08:57:37 |
|
I THINK THAT THE SURPLUS HAS BEEN RUNNING $9.3 BILLION FOR JANUARY THROUGH MAY OF 2009. |
| 08:57:47 |
|
VERY, VERY IMPRESSIVE NUMBER. |
| 08:57:50 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEMAN SO MUCH. |
| 08:57:52 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEWOMAN FOR RECOMMENDING THAT WE TAKE TIME TO TALK TO OUR COLLEAGUES ABOUT THIS IMPORTANT... |
| 09:01:50 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEMAN FOR YIELDING TO ME AND THOSE ARE SOME PRETTY STARTLING FACTS. I'M A C.P.A.... |
| 09:02:06 |
|
IT'S UNUSUAL FOR ME TO USE FACTS. I USUALLY SUBSCRIBE TO THE EARLIER -- |
| 09:02:13 |
|
FOR THE MUCH ALIGNED FREE TRADE AGREEMENT. YOU HEAR MANY PEOPLE CRITICIZE IT BUT THEY DO IT OFF OF... |
| 09:03:28 |
|
WILL MY FRIEND REPEAT THOSE NUMBERS? I THINK IT'S VERY, VERY TELLING. THAT'S A TARIFF LEVEL THAT IS... |
| 09:03:44 |
|
IT'S INTERESTING THAT WE NOW OWN, BETWEEN THE UNIONS AND THE FEDERAL TAXPAYER, WE OWN GENERAL MOTORS.... |
| 09:04:38 |
|
RECLAIMING MY TIME. LET'S STATE FOR THE RECORD, I WOULD SAY TO MY COLLEAGUE, WHY IT IS THAT COLOMBIA... |
| 09:05:25 |
|
I THANK MY FRIEND FOR YIELDING. I WAS STARTLE -- |
| 09:05:33 |
|
I WAS STARTLED LAST WEEK WHEN MR. KIRK SAID TRADE STILL WAS A HIGH PRIORITY WITH THE WHITE HOUSE.... |
| 09:08:06 |
|
I'D BE HAPPY TO YIELD TO MY FRIEND FROM HISDALE. |
| 09:08:12 |
|
I MEANT TO SAY THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE AISLE WHO HAVE BLOCKED THESE AGREEMENTS AND... |
| 09:08:23 |
|
I THANK MY FRIEND FOR HER CONTRIBUTION AS WELL. IT HAS BEEN AN UNFORTUNATE -- UNFORTUNATE THING. ... |
| 09:09:58 |
|
WELL, I THANK MY GOOD FRIEND FROM CALIFORNIA, MR. DREIER, FOR YIELDING AND ALSO FOR THE LEADERSHIP... |
| 09:12:33 |
|
MR. SPEAKER, LET ME ASK MY FRIEND TO REPEAT THAT. WE ARE THE NUMBER ONE MANUFACTURING COUNTRY IN THE... |
| 09:12:55 |
|
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. THE NUMBER ONE MANUFACTURING NATION IN THE WORLD. THE NUMBER ONE TRADING... |
| 09:18:51 |
|
LET ME THANK MY COLLEAGUE FOR HIS THOUGHTFUL CONTRIBUTION, ESPECIALLY MENTIONING THE IMPORTANT KOREA... |
| 09:19:28 |
|
UNDER THE SPEAKER'S ANNOUNCED POLICY OF JANUARY 6, 2009, THE GENTLEMAN FROM CONNECTICUT, MR. MURPHY,... |
| 09:19:39 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. SPEAKER. I THANK SPEAKER PELOSI AND MY COLLEAGUES FOR ALLOWING US TO COME... |
| 09:28:44 |
|
THANK YOU TO THE GENTLEMAN FROM CONNECTICUT. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND FOR YOUR... |
| 09:38:46 |
|
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, REPRESENTATIVE SPEAR. THANK YOU FOR DRAWING ATTENTION TO WHAT THIS REFORM EFFORT... |
| 09:42:21 |
|
WILL THE GENTLEMAN |
| 09:42:23 |
|
ABSOLUTELY. |
| 09:42:25 |
|
WE HAVE HOT OFF THE PRESSES HERE A COPY OF AND A CHART OF THE REPUBLICAN HEALTH CARE PLAN. AND IT... |
| 09:47:49 |
|
WILL THE GENTLEMAN YIELD? |
| 09:47:50 |
|
I'D BE HAPPY TO YIELD. |
| 09:47:55 |
|
OVER THE LAST 10 YEARS, A TIME DURING WHICH REPUBLICANS HAD CONTROL OF THIS HOUSE AND THE SENATE,... |
| 09:50:20 |
|
IF YOU LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS, THEY ARE FROM 2004, BUT THEY ILLUSTRATE THE POINT AND WE'LL GET THEM... |
| 09:52:55 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEMAN FOR YIELDING. I WANT TO ECHO YOUR COMMENTS, BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT ON TARGET.... |
| 10:00:42 |
|
I THANK THE GENTLEMAN, MR. LANGEVIN. SUCH A GREAT LEADER ON THIS ISSUE FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I THINK... |
| 10:01:47 |
|
ONE OF THE REASONS IS THE PROJECTION FOR COSTS IF WE DO NOTHING, THIS PLAN HERE, IF WE IMPLEMENT OR... |
| 10:02:54 |
|
IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. AS I WAS SAYING EARLIER, SOME OF THAT COST IS SORT OF INVISIBLE TO PEOPLE BECAUSE... |
| 10:06:37 |
|
THAT'S THE MONEY THAT WE REINVEST BACK IN, THOSE COST SAVING MEASURES THAT WE REINVEST BACK IN TO... |
| 10:10:32 |
|
THERE RYAN, THERE ARE A THE LOT OF REALLY GREAT MPANIES OUT THERE WHO HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT. I THINK... |
| 10:13:27 |
|
YOU LOOK AT THE -- LIKE THE COMPANY YOU WERE MENTIONING NO CO-PAYS ON PREVENTION, NO RATE INCREASES... |
| 10:14:14 |
|
NOT THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO ASK PEOPLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE COST OF HEALTH CARE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT... |
| 10:14:50 |
|
EXACTLY AND FLIP THEIR FAMILIES AND SEND THEM OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND THE WHOLE RIPPLE EFFECT THAT... |
| 10:18:17 |
|
I THANK YOU FOR JOINING US. WE WILL BE DOWN HERE TALKING ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT'S SO IMPORTANT TO... |
| 10:19:07 |
|
THE GENTLEMAN YIELDS BACK, THE GENTLEMAN'S TIME HAS EXPIRED. UNDER THE SPEAKER'S ANNOUNCED POLICY... |
| 10:19:19 |
|
THANK YOU, MR. SPEAKER. I APPRECIATE BEING HERE. I'D LIKE TO BORROW THE CHART FROM MR. RYAN, I HAVE... |
| 11:19:15 |
|
THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES THE GENTLEMAN FROM IOWA FOR A MOTION. |
| 11:19:19 |
|
MR. SPEAKER, I DO MOVE THE HOUSE TO NOW ADJOURN. |
| 11:19:22 |
|
THE QUESTION IS ON THE MOTION TO ADJOURN. THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. |
