Severed ties. Gayle king and Nora Odonnell were very clear they believe the women who accuse charlie rose of sexual misconduct. The cbs president described charlie roses behavior as extremely disturbing intolerable. Despite charlies important journalististic contributions to our news division, there is absolutely nothing more important in this or any organization than ensure a safe and professional workplace. Im deeply disappointed and angry that people were victimized and even people not connected with these events could see their hard work undermined. Gayle king said she was so upset she slept less than two hours last night. Adding something that veteran journalists might be struggling with, too, what do you say when someone you care deeply about has done something so horrible . Her words. Let me be very clear, there is no excuse for this alleged behavior. It is systematic and pervasive. Ive been doing a lot of listening and im going to continue to do that. This i know is true, women
Oklahoma. The chaplain lets pray. Father, i thank you for the heroic leadership that this house of representatives has exemplified in the past week during this present crisis. I thank you for the late nights, i thank you for their heroic efforts to seek compromise. But i thank you for the Creative Solutions theyve proposed. Lord, at present there is no solution. And so today, father, we confess our desperate need for you. We joyfully conquer that you are the source concur that you are the source of wisdom and all strength resides with you. You are the author of unity, even when parties are in conflict. We ask you that you would grant supernatural breakthrough. Where there is no way forward, we pray that you would forge a way. When negotiations break down, please grant fresh ideas for debate. We ask this, lord, for your glory and for the good of the American People. We pray this in jesus name, men. The speaker the chair has examined the journal of the last days proceedings and announces
So are we said yes so we said yes to were giving you the votes on something we dont like. Weve said we wont do motions to instruct. Please take yes for an answer. If you insist on being the party of no, then dont hide behind something and say who wont negotiate. We cooperated. We gave you what you wanted. And now here we are today. Republicans are offering yet another motion to keep government shut down. Some people call it in the press the supercommittee, others call it the ted cruz committee. Whatever you call it, id like to know who writes this stuff, this is so ridiculous a proposal, so ridiculous a proposal. How about we go to the budget table and see how we can reduce the deficit, produce growth for our country . But all were going to do is cut our investments in education and investments in making the future better. Were going to make seniors suffer more while we do not touch revenue. And we will not allow any discussion of closing special interest loopholes. Thats how they want
Together with photos of the shutdown at different parks. According to the National Park service, 401 National Park sites are closed under this partial Government Shutdown. Over 20,000 furloughed staff. 3,000 staff deemed essential. 715,000 park visitors per day turned away. 450,000 in lost federal revenue per day. 300,000 in lost entrance fees. 150,000 in other lost spending. On the 715,000 visitors turned away, who makes that decision . How and why they are turned away . Guest under the federal shutdown, the Government Shutdown, congress basically has shut down the federal government. And so what that has caused is all the National Parks must close their doors. As you can imagine the National Parks is responsible for the protection of our National Parks and Public Safety. And so when they have to furlough 85 of their workers, they dont have the staff to keep the parks opened and to maintain them, provide the kind of Public Safety and assurances that people visiting the parks can count
Mr. Visclosky if i could ask my friend how many more speakers they have. Mr. Frelinghuysen we anticipate through the chair. Several more speakers. But we are both waiting perhaps for some additional mr. Visclosky thats what both of us are doing. We could continue doing it talking to each other. Mr. Frelinghuysen i would be happy to. Let me say i want to salute you and chairman young for sponsoring this legislation which is truly bipartisan. Bringing it to the floor and giving members of both parties an opportunity to join together at a time when theres a lot of disjointment around here and lack of consensus on this. Theres no argument at all. Im highly appreciative of all that you have done to assist this process. Mr. Visclosky i appreciate the gentlemans remark, mr. Young, who has announced his retirement at the end of this congress. You could find no finer person in the world kinder heart or wanting to leave the world better than our chairman. I was going to close but would use this
