but the new studio b seems to be over lavish and tawdry. sophie looks as though she s in isolation. the weather presenters look as though they are lost. and why is the flooring on different levels? is it because they needed to put in curbing? all in all, a complete waste of valuable funds. there s certainly a lot going on here a spiral staircase, a large, vertical screen used for imagery, and an even bigger screen where a correspondent can explain the background to a story, speak to the presenter either in person or down the line, or we can have some detailfrom the presenter him or herself. these explainers aren t new, of course, but are now being done on a bigger scale than before, and they failed to impress oldman wood, who recorded this message on the newswatch phone line. huw edwards was in discussion with faisal islam. neither man was actually talking to the camera and so neither of them were actually addressing the viewer. it made it appear like a private conversation

Identifying areas for improvement, identifying areas for managerial improvement. The problem is that those improvements rarely get made. And to the extent that congressional action is necessary to make some of these changes, theres so much else to do. Theres very little glory in eliminating a program especially if people face layoffs. Theres even less glory in that. So to some extent its not that we dont know where to cut that we dont know which programs work and which ones dont. We do have some Good Government reports that help guide those decisions, but its that from recognizing the problem the next step is missing. Where is the action to actually get rid of some of these programs . I think thats exactly right. It comes in the action. When you were talking what popped in my mind was Ronald Reagans famous quote about politics and Foreign Relations which is trust but verify. And that seems to work for a lot of issues we deal with in our life. But when it comes to government spending, y
Consume. The chair does the gentleman claim time in opposition to the amendment . Mr. Conyers i do. The chair the gentleman is recognized. Mr. Conyers thank you very much. I am very disturbed by the nature of this it it blackburn amendment because it would prevent the use of federal funds or resources to consider adjudicate, renewal of any previously denied application for deferred action for childhood arrivals, daca.

The amendment prevents new persons from applying for daca and explicitly prohibits further efforts to renew deferred action under this amendment. Hundreds of thousands of young people who came forward past background checks obtained daca and have since followed the law would be deportable at the end of their twoyear deferred action period. Th

On romney, not talking about him as a president ial candidate, hes a skilled businessman, hes certainly gotten some experience on being in the president ial business. And i think hes a talented guy. But i could say the same thing about a lot of people. Men and women. I think its going to be fascinating. But heres my deal. I think the American People in elections in the house elections in the senate, elections for governor and therefore elections for president of the United States are going to look very, very carefully for people that share their values, but bring competence and experience to the process. If you went and looked at all the polls, there was a great concern in the last election where people go to washington and govern and do they have the competence and the experience to do so .
