Mr. Speaker, this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others. In addition to my duties in his house, i will have further meetings later today. Later this week, i will attend the meeting of the g20 where i will discuss the global economy, counterterrorism and sustainable settlements with my fellowleaders. Thank you, mr. Speaker.

She is educated, had a mortgage, and had a good job until the home office revoked her right to work. I have been writing to the home office since march and have got nowhere.

A senator madam president , . The presiding officer the senator from georgia. Mr. Chambliss i ask that the quorum call be dispensed with. The presiding officer without objection the senate is not in a quorum call. Mr. Chambliss thank you. Madam president , i rise today as the vice chairman of the Senate Select committee on intelligence to respond to the public release of the declassified version of the executive summary and findings and conclusions from the committees study of the c. I. A. s detention and Interrogation Program. This is not pleasant duty for me. During my four years as the vice chairman of the Intelligence Committee, i have enjoyed an excellent relationship with our chairman, senator diane feinstein. We have worked closely to conduct strong bipartisan oversight of the u. S. Intelligence community, including the passage and enactment of Significant National security legislation. However, this particular study has been one of the very, very few areas where we have never b
Knight when the networks decided they needed a midweek game. Now it depends on what conference youre in, how many days of school you missed. You can keep defending it. I would work on changing it. Thank you very much, mr. Chairman, for this hearing. I thank the gentleman. Im going to thank the witnesses. A lot of expertise, real knowledge, appreciate everything you had to offer. Quite a diversity and experiences and positions here. Somebody who was a toplevel College Athlete and then went on to play in the nfl has very strong feelings and opinions about these issues and has pointed out very eloquently, mr. Eilers, that weve got problems out there as mr. Miller, again very passionately, pointed out that needed to be addressed. What brought this hearing together was the actions of a regional director of the National Labor Relations Board who suggested that these athletes are employees and, therefore, could, if they chose, vote to join a union. And so we explored some of the possible down
Trauma risks. They are asking to prevent players from being stuck paying sports related medical expenses. They are asking that Graduation Rates increase. They are asking that Educational Opportunities for student athletes in Good Standing be protected. They are asking that universities be prohibited from using a permanent injury suffered during athletics as a reason to reduce or eliminate a scholarship. They are asking to establish and enforce uniform safety guidelines in all sports to help prevent serious injuries and avoidable deaths, and they are asking to prohibit the punishment of College Athletes that have not xhited a crime. Is in any one on that list thats unreasonable . Is there any piece of that that your institution would say, no, im awfully sorry, we cant do that. Or let me phrase it positively. Would you each be willing to lead an effort in your respective conferences to see to it that your fellow member institutions say, absolutely, guys. You are absolutely right. Were go
Step as nasa still has low confidence, 30 that it can meet the earlier date. Going forward, we have short and longterm concerns about nasas human Space Exploration programs. In the short term the programs 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 p
