Are entering the most risky phases of development. There are still technical hurdles to overcome. Particularly with the orion spacecraft which is addressing challenges with the parachute system and heat shield among others. There is also considerable development and testing ahead for orion in terms of the human support systems. Meanwhile, sos is continuing to pursue the earlier launch dates of december 2017. While nasas urgency is understandable, the schedule for achieving the earlier date mostly with respect to the core stage is very aggressive. Theres little room to address problems. Moreover, it does not appear that orion and the ground system can achieve the earlier date. And the longterm we have concerns about the cost estimating for human Space Exploration programs. Nasas only produce estimates for sos and ground system through the first flight test and orion through the second flight test. There is still Significant Development ahead for sos after the first flight and significan

The law. And when they see that 50 , 50 , 49 ill give you that, of the illegals in this country are visa overstays, these are people that are were not chasing a footprint in the desert, we know who they are. Weve got their name. Theyve had an interview at a consulate or an embassy, they came here on a visa. We know who they are. Thats lowhanging fruit for enforcement. So, i ask you this how many of the visa overstays are granted immunity through the president pasha action . Any . Offhand, i dont know. I dont know the answer to that. Congressman, i will say this i would like to see this Congress Pass a bill. I would like to work with congress on passing a bill. The president said that would be his preference. The problem is we have no partner i think congress can pass a bill when the American People start regaining trust in the administration to actually do their job and enforce the laws that are already on the books. And i yield back. Chair recognizes mr. Or work from texas. Thank you,
Chemical weapons use. The group is tremendously destabilizing force across large swaths of iraq and syria and the brutal campaigns have approximately u drawn the condemnation appropriately drawn of the broader International Community. In addition to the horrific massacres, kidnappings and decapitations, officials believe that isil is one of the Richest Terrorist Groups to ever exist with estimated assets in access of 1 billion. Unlike most other terrorist groups, which tend to rely heavily on foreign sponsors, isil generally raises funds internally limiting available to the Treasury Department to cut them off. From the formal Financial System regardless. The ability to sanction and block assets remains vital to ensure that over the long run the United States and our allies can shut down any funds that are tied to elicit oil sales, extortion and kidnapping for ransom. As we make progress in curtailing isiss internal funding schemes, it may be forced to rely more heavily on types of fund
And it is, as my colleague from alabama mentioned, the cuban missile crisis wasnt even just that there were Nuclear Missiles in cuba pointed at the United States. Fidel castro was telling kruschev to fire them into the United States. If castro had his way there would have been Nuclear Weapons sent here. So this is the nature of the regime. So what are you doing with this policy . To me i look at it very simply. I think this fact is true. Every single dollar spent in cuba benefits the castro regime. Every single dollar. If it were otherwise, europe doesnt have restrictions most of the other world doesnt have restrictions. Have the cuban people benefited from that . Has their standard of living gone up . No this all goes to benefit the government. And to me this is the worst possible time to throw the castro regime a life line. If you look at whats happening in caracas, if you look at whats happening in moscow, these regimes are buckling because of the decline in the price of oil. So thi
