Today about the nuclear deal with iran with the u. S. And five other world powers and tie ran a few weeks ago and go straight to libby casey on capitol hill what is the atmosphere leading to this hearing . A build up not just in the past week as we watched news of the nuclear deal come up but for months because congress knew this day was likely to come and this is the first public opportunity for members of the Obama Administration to talk directly to Congress Members who they really want to win over to their perspective and so there is a lot of build up to this very moment. Now the administration has been Briefing Members behind closed doors and also tried to make some public pushes and saw president obama himself come out last week and talk about the deal but this is where the rubber meets the road stephanie and members of Congress Want the opportunity to ask genuine questions and also to show constituents back home they are pushing the administration to get details, to make sure tha
Chesapeake Bay Foundation has Environmental Education centers on smith island and tangier island. Inhabited islands in the mid bay. Residents of smith and tangier are losing their homes. They are losing their island. Day after day, week after week, losing their home. On a property in the chesapeake Bay Foundation, in just the last 25 years we have lost an entire pine forest, several dozen acres, several hundred trees to sea level, bay level rise. Ive submitted my testimony, but let me just summarize briefly. The impacts of Climate Change are multiple, but let me tell you about three for Chesapeake Bay. Warmer waters have a decreased capacity to hold dissolved oxygen exacerbating the bays dead zone. Temperaturesensitive species like eel grass and many others are really, truly at risk. Second, the bay region is particularly vulnerable to Sea Level Rise exacerbated, exacerbated by land subsidence.

I heard senator rischs frustration the frustration made by the administration theres no choice. In fact, i hear you to say the very opposite. I hear to you say this is not, in fact, a referendum on this deal. This is a choice between two set of consequences. A set of consequences that flow forward if we approve the deal and then a different set of consequences that flow forward if Congress Rejects this deal. So as i look at that second set of consequence we have to be fully cognizant of if the u. S. Congress reject this is deal i see it in five parts. I want to give this analysis to you and then ask you both to tell me where im wrong or where i might be right. First, the sanctions are going to fray initially. Russians and chinese likely wont continue to sign on, and likely will in substance fall apart. Iran will resume its Nuclear Program as it gets closer and closer
Sanctuary cities act, and i reserve the balance of my time. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from virginia reserves. The gentleman from michigan is recognized. Mr. Conyers madam speaker, i yield myself such time as i may consume. The speaker pro tempore the gentlemans recognized. Mr. Conyers members of the congress, i rise in strong opposition to h. R. 3009, the enforce the law for sanctuary cities act. This thoroughly flawed measure is a blatant attempt by the most of the majority to insert its antiimmigrant status agenda into local policing initiatives. And it does this by prohibiting state and local governments from receiving critical criminal justice funds if they have policies that prioritize Public Safety and Community Policing over federal Immigration Enforcement. The bill absolutely makes no sense because rather than improving Public Safety, it will achieve the complete opposite, and thats not just my conclusion. Law enforcement agencies from across the United States and n
