report esmated from 2012-2018 $47 billion dollars of private sector projects will be made in alan paris, jefferson davis and parishs that people on the committee and in america that haven't heard of. but these are real places of people. that investment is expected to create more than 37,000 new jobs. high paying jobs. in america, lng exports will drive continued investment in domestic production and create jobs, but they are a powerful gop political tool particularly in light of russia's illegal aggressi aggression. putin is going to use allies to pressure us and advance his agenda. russ russ russ russia put sanctions on nine people and i was one of them. it is encouraging me to double my efforts of energy production and make the united states a global leader in energy exports. america can and should be an emergency -- energy -- super power in all aspects including new alternative fuels and sources. we know real competition in real open markets drives efficiency and lowers prices for everyone. the last thing putin and his cronies want is competition from the united states of america in his energy

greek people, the people whose ancestors inspired our own country's founding, the people whom thomas jefferson called, the light which led ourselves out of gothic darkness, the greek people were denied this right. today greeks celebrate march 25 as the day when the greeks began the long hard battle for independence. recently met with the ambassador, to cyprus, to discuss the latest on our cyprus negotiations. he was hopeful that real progress could be made in unifying the island and stopping the illegal turkish occupation. the u.s. must also continue to work to find a mutually agreeable name for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia. greece an important ally to the united states. i'm proud to stand with american greeks today to celebrate their ndependence and aspirations. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, mr. speaker. i rise to bring attention t

thomas jefferson may have been a right-wing nuts. but if you look at what this president is doing right now trying to tramp will on those freedoms the hobby lobby case is where those rights converge. to our job creators. this is a business that wants to run and provide services to people. a few locations in my district. wife likes going to hobby lobby but shouldn't be faced with the dilemma. whether or not they are going to violate their own religious freedoms in this country. nobody should be faced with the threat of our government taking away their religious freedom just to be able to operate as a business and that is happening right now with the president. and not limited to businesses. if you look at what is happening, the president likes to talking about a war on women, he loves to divide this country to divide, how shameless that is. and where is the president's war? it is against the little cyst ders of the poor, a catholic order of nuns that are trying to do good. they are forced to sue the federal government because barack o

the late great jimmy stewart's character, jefferson smith, ed come to washington full of national pride and wonder and yet in a short time, he has been framed and scandalized by the forces of washington corruption. he is about to be banished from the u.s. senate. it's in a pivotal scene, he stands with his suitcase in hand, literally sobbing in the shadow of the statue of abraham lincoln. he is implored to resist the forces of corruption. she says the following -- your friend, mr. lincoln, had his enemies. so did every other man who try to lift his thoughts up off the ground. odds against them did not stop them. they were fools that way. all the good that ever came into the world came from. faith like that. they're not all tailored in washington. that kind just throw big shadows. you do not have faith in any other living man. you had faith in something other than that. you had decent, everyday, common rightness and the country can use that. you said mr. lincoln was sitting up there waiting for someone to come along. you're right. he was waiting for men to see his job and sailing to and

and thomas jefferson said the world belongs to the living. let us resolve to let the living have a world that is worthy of that covenant that we make as americans to lead this nation better and stronger than it was when we took over. let us not fail on our watch. america can be a shining example in what it does, inspiring the world by that example. not by its mandates or its military but by its peaceful use of energy in a way that preserves the planet. we can use renewables. in fact, in connecticut we make fuel cells that can power the world in a much more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly world. fuel cells are our future and they are made in danburr relationship and -- dan bury and torrington with job creation and economic booms that can result from addressing the opportunity as well as the obligation of climate change. i've spoken on the floor about those companies as well as about the connecticut climate action plan launched in 2005, the main goal of which is to substantially cut the amount of greenhouse gases being produced wi

now, the quintessential virginian, thomas jefferson, was the preeminent scientist of his day. you cannot be a proud virginian and be antiscience. we accept the science in virginia. in fact, the polling overwhelmingly among the virginia public -- and we're not the bluest state in the country. we're a coal-producing state. i'm going to get to that in a minute. even in coal-producing virginia, the polling shows overwhelmingly that the american -- that the virginia public accepts humans are affecting climate, causing bad things to our economy and we've got to do something about it. now, there is a second argument. it's not science denial, it's leadership denial. these folks may not deny the climate science, but they deny that the u.s. can or should be a leader in taking any steps. they say look, even if we reduce u.s. emission toss zero, it wouldn't offset world emissions unless china or india did something, and so let's just not do anything. that is just not the american way, folks, for us not to lead on something important like that. now, it is true, it is true that we need ever

thomas jefferson said when government fears the people, you get liberty. when people for the government, you have tyranny. that is what it means to be an american. it is the object in the republic for the people to censor the government, the government does not censor the people, and as regards who speaks for the american people? it was the intelligence committee who said the american people are too stupid to know what safety measures are required. that is why we cannot tell them what we're doing out there. when edward snowden revealed what was going on from the american people rally behind his concept of what the law means, not the intelligence community and mr. gilmore's. >> you know, john, i have been a trial defense lawyer. i have made motions of the fourth amendment which i have won behalf of clients. i have been an elected prosecutor. i have been the attorney general of virginia. i think i understand better than any body with the fourth amendment is about and how it works. "i lie"? i do not think so. the fact is -- i lead the free congress foundation

thomas jefferson to enlighten the people. enlighten the people in tierney and oppression will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day. as we travel the nation coming teaching the constitution, it is exciting to see you, the american people inherently understands the truth but if you stand up to tierney we must learn unders and principles of liberty. we inherently knew that if our nation much freedom, peace and press dirty, we must live, learn and teach the principles of liberty. principals at the heart of the miracle we call america. in 1607 jamestown, they were using a plow the same way mankind had been tied to her about bypassing years. their mode of travel was walking in and low-power the same way they've been traveling for 5000 years. medicines are made more noxious concoctions of dippers nation than any kind of science. the alcohol is a staple food. i'm still think that. by hearing to the bulls in the declaration of independence and the constitution, we went for boxcars to space travel in less than 200 years. in fact
