Screeria nigeria. At a press conference president obama and british Prime Minister David Cameron. They also urged congress to hold off on implementing new sanctions on iran in the midst of nuclear talks. Here is some of what the president said about that. I take this very seriously. I dont question the good faith of some folks who think this might be helpful. It is my team thats at the table. We consult closely with allies like the United Kingdom in making these assessments. I am asking congress to hold off because our negotiators, our partners, those who are most intimately involved in this assess that it will jeopardize the possibility of resolving providing a diplomatic solution to one of the most difficult and long lasting National Security problems that we faced in a very long time. And Congress Needs to show patience. So with respect to the veto i said to my Democratic Caucus colleagues yesterday that i will veto a bill that comes to my desk. I will make this argument to the Amer
That is correct. So if thats the case, isnt the jury acting like a reasonable person in looking at the words and circumstances and saying did he intend this or didnt he . I dont know what the difference between the standard given and the one the instruction you want. As the government put it in this case, in the Closing Argument under the instruction that was given it doesnt matter what the defendant thinks. What matters is whether a reasonable person would foresee that the listener would be placed in fear. How is that different from what you intend .

To reagan, one of his watchwords was, peace through strength. He presided over an enormous buildup in defense spending. The current trajectory of defense spending is down to below 3 of gdp. Which is going to be as low as it was back in before 1941. Would you support a significant increase from current levels in the Defense Budget and do away with the sequester . I absolutely support the concept of peace through strength. I think the most important thing the federal government spends money on is National Defense. You cant rely on state governments. You cant rely on corporations. You have to have a National Defense. Priorities,at National Defense is the number one priority. Looking at dollars spent, i always say a priority. With regards to the sequester, the last budget we produced, we have a fiveyear budget that balances, eliminates the military sequester, and spends money above the military sequester. But we do eliminate five departments of government. If you want a strong defense, fin

Denied as fraudulent. 93 1993nd 1990 world trade bombers exploited the amnesty law. What are you going to do to verify that these people are not fraudulently entering the country, including what could be security threats to the country . Congressman, that is something that i am also concerned about. Fraudulent applications have the potential to undermine the whole process. In the implementation, in the planning for the ample mentation, i want to be sure that we take a hard look at best practices to avoid fraudulent applications, fraudulent misuse of the program. That is a priority of mine. We look forward to working with you on that. The chair recognizes the Ranking Member for questions.
