Evidence of it. On the last trip i found evidence, a number of videos that i do believe it is going on, and i believe it could be a significant amount of money. Basically, the Shia Community in kuwait is very small and i do not want to say it is particularly insular, but it is an extremely strong community. I believe the way the fundraising is happening is much more private, gatherings in homes, personal connections. One businessman will call his friend and say, we need to do this to support our brothers in syria. Much more quieter. It is notable that a number of the most prominent businessmen in kuwait who are shia also have very significant Foreign Investment in syria. They have both a personal stake and a business date and the maintenance of the status quo. This goes a long way to explaining at least some of the cash flows that i believe are moving. This funding, at least what i have so far sort of tapped into, like the sunni side, and i want to stress this, is equally sectarian in
Today, we celebrate the lives and contributions to our country, with their families and friends who are with us today. Congratulations to all of you. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, United States senator from the state of oklahoma, the honorable james inhofe. [applause] we heard first from congressman tom cole who is our native american art of congressional delegation. I recall hearing from him before he was in congress and at that time i was in the house, and introduced us to this bestkept secret of world war ii and world war i, the code talkers. I look around and i see a lot of people who were very active other than those on the program today, but on the program today we have made mention of dan boren. He is here. I believe wes watkins is one of the initial individuals who reminded us of this bestkept secret. So, for decades after world war ii, people did not know anything about the contributions we started introducing resolutions and it was not until 2008 that we were successful. I
This comes from the businessmen, is. Of the biggest there so hes really sincere. Convinced he is. Nevertheless, 1 3 of our food is wasted. Formight have other figures that. Kilograms or pounds or whatever measurement ms. Lets keep it at 1 3. Lost or spliced. Emissions to the nvironment, pesticides, fertilizers. Fertilizers. Methane.

In developing countries, of speaking about the early stages of food, which tommic of today. Food lost in the harvesting technique, the transport. We could have other meetings to improve that part. Theres an obligation of us all countries to ping that part of their work. But on the developed side of ountries, were speaking of supply chains. Retailer, or of the the supplier, and the consumer, so thats us. For instance, the United States, the united kingdom, they food or w
This linchpin for at least on the house side for the shutdown in october . That was a big part of this year. Republicans have tried multiple stop come delay, or defund president obamas health care law. In website was coming online the Health Care Exchange coming online. Effort tore last best try to prevent the affordable becomingfrom taking coming to fruition. They stall the Government Spending bill as the best vehicle as her last best chance to make a stand. They did. This is a continuing resolution to keep the government funded until the new fiscal year. Exactly. There have been some of the disagreements over how to fund the government. This has been a longrunning difference of opinion over what level to Fund Government at and how far to cut back in different programs. Theyre unable to resolve that. They decided to punt. This is a fairly routine bill. Political stand was to delay the implementation of part of the health care law. When october 1 came around, republicans kept trying di
I pledge to everyone that i will try to do everything that i can to fight for meaningful background check legislation. The fight has just a gun. Its not going away. The fight has just begun. I want to call a little out of order and call on joe manchin from West Virginia who courageously crafted the legislation, great legislation, dealing with background checks. Looking ahead to 2014, you mentioned some of the executive actions the administration has taken. What else are they doing . Is there any other legislative effort plan for 2014 . A lot of lawmakers on the hill think that the issue is dead. In september, we have the Navy Yard Shooting and it reinvigorated the debate for dick durbin, dianne feinstein, the democrats who wanted to bring the debate back to congress after the failed amendment in april. Harry reid said he would not seek a vote. Right now, the issue is appearing dead. That may allow the white house to introduce my executive actions if republicans on the hill will not coo
