Particular. We didnt try to take on the whole envoy question for because the conflict ones had special characteristics. But tom, youre putting your finger on a problem. Because if you looked at the number of special envoys, and its almost the same from one administration to another, youre talking about 25 or more special envoys, and if theyre all supposed to report to the secretary of state, you realize, in addition to all the regular structures, you really have an unworkable structure.

That would take an act of the United States congress. Despite protestations, the reality is there has been a creation of a class here. I would like to say those five criteria are the criteria for determining class, not the individual discretion as to whether or not somebody would be admitted. That rests completely with the agency. They advised him morally and actually put it in writing, which i thought was interesting. How is that case by case . The structure does not allow for government by exe...

Quality of life of people of color. Were here because no one has put a leash on killer cops, so i have five recommendations. They are, here we go. Number one, we need to have a legitimate citizen review board with the power to fire officers for misconduct. Most cities have Police Complaints as we do here in d. C. But they do not have these powers. They are paper tigers and we need to give them power so they are actually responsible to the people they are serving. We should require significant nu...

Bases as for jobs in so many congressional districts. And i have heard very conservative members of congress say government doesnt create jobs, it destroys them, and all that sort of thing. It doesnt apply to the military base in my district. If we lost that, we would lose jobs. Is there anyway around this . I dont know how, other than a fundamental change. I remember seeing many years ago, a map of where the subcontracts were, i think it was the b2 bomber. There was a pin the companies are smar...

With some senators that get us to the 60 vote threshold. Now im going to ask my first question a little bit along the lines of what you discussed with senator widen. When you were at the iowa state fair me last august, meeting with iowa farmers you stated and i hope i am quoting you accurately that you would not know a good deal for agriculture when you saw it, end quote. That was in regard to tpp. My question for you is very simple how close do you think were to seeing a good deal for agricultu...

Would like them to be prioritized, its january 27th today. There is no date yet scheduled for an interview of any of these people. Were not going to wait to receive now all of these documents, which would have been the more efficient way for a real investigation to be done. So wed like to know what date, and because we want to preserve the safety and security of these personnel, wed like to know, i would say within the next 24 hours, which witnesses will be made available next week, and which wi...

Billed. The staffford act however is limited to oftentimes only those Natural Hazards with limited flexibility. I think the delegate brings up an important point. When you look at growing hazards, such as cyber and others, what is the role of the Disaster Relief fund in the consequence world. And if it is not in rebuilding in the Emergency Response cost and the ability to use Emergency Declaration to bring resource to bear is it worthwhile looking at such things its kind of a question. What is t...

Be able to pass that authorization to use military force as well. That is, after all, the appropriate role for congress to play in all of this. And it is not appropriate for congress, frankly, to try to sidestep the responsibilities that they have in this matter. And just to quickly follow up on yemen there are reports including from cnn that the hutis did not allow the marines to take their weapons with them when they were departh. There were cars and other assets of the Embassy Personnel that ...

United states, like we were by bush, to authorize an aufm. Abdi youothing but an abdication of our obligation. Adam shift tried to sunset out the aufm that we gave to which has been used by president obama. Not understand how we in congress can continue to what the constitution says is our responsibility. James madison once said, the power to declare war, including causeser to judging the of war, is fully and exclusively vested in the legislature. Not believe sincerely, because when this this ob...
