- Today I addressed attendees at the International Facility Management Association (IFMA)'s seventh annual Public Policy Forum to discuss my common-sense legislation, the Civilian Property Realignment Act, to help eliminate government waste and save billions of taxpayer dollars. Thanks to IFMA and the Federal Facilities Council (FFC) for inviting me to join you during your trip to Washington, D.C.
- I condemn the violent assault on our consulate in Benghazi and Embassy in Cairo, and our thoughts and prayers are with the families of Ambassador Chris Stevens and the other brave Americans who lost their lives. There is never justification for such violence, and the United States remains committed to liberty, democracy and religious tolerance throughout the region and the world.

Today, we solemnly remember the thousands who lost their lives 11 years ago in the September 11th attacks. We remember and thank the amazing emergency first responders, who bravely served their country in the face of an enormous threat and...unknown fate; and as always, we honor and thank those men and women who bravely serve our country overseas. As we move forward, let us remember the strength and sense of community Americans showed in the days following the attacks, making our home a safer, better, more united nation.See More

http://denham.house.gov/newsletter/weekly-update-rep-denham-september-7-2012- Today’s employment numbers come as no surprise to the millions of Americans still out of work. Clearly this Administration’s policies of taxing and over-regulating are not the answer to putting the American people back to work. Right now our job creators do not have the certainty they need to succeed in this weakened economy, which is why we've being working on solutions in the House that include over 30 pro-growth, pro-jobs bills passed out of the House with bipartisan support that will get our economy back to creating jobs. It is long past time for a new direction that delivers the jobs, certainty, and economic growth the American people deserve.
- Del Monte Foods Tour (8 photos)Yesterday afternoon, I took a tour of Del Monte Foods in Modesto, which is a premier producer and exporter of a variety of local agricultural products consumed around the world. It is imperative that we continue to create and sustain jobs in the agriculture supply chain in Central California so our local economy is bolstered by both direct and indirect ways. — in Modesto, CA.

- This morning, I met with the Oakdale Board of Realtors to discuss housing recovery in our region and how federal regulations and taxation are impacting their economic stability as well as prospective homeowners’ ability to secure mortgages ...to purchase property in the Valley. It is very important to me to listen to those in the industry who see how federal involvement either impedes or assists housing recovery so I can bring those voices back to Washington as we continue our efforts to solve our nation’s housing crisis.See More
- I’m thrilled to report from one Valley employer who has now hired 7 of the job seekers they met with at our Central Valley Job Fair, and are also looking to bring on 3 to 4 more new employees! This is great and encouraging news, and I want to again thank everyone for joining our community event. I look forward to hearing about more great news like this as our friends and family in the Valley get back to work. If you or someone you know have a success story stemming from our recent Job Fair, please let me know by posting your experience on my Facebook timeline.

Today, I called on the General Service Administration’s newly-appointed Public Buildings Service Commissioner, Dr. Dorothy Robyn, to utilize my House-passed proposal, the Civilian Property Realignment Act (CPRA), to improve the process of d...isposing of excess and underutilized properties. I’m hopeful Dr. Robyn’s experience working with the Department of Defense’s Base Closure and Realignment Commission (BRAC) process will encourage the GSA to use a similar private-public disposal process such as CPRA to ensure the effective and efficient sale or consolidation of these properties, resulting in billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers.See More
http://denham.house.gov/press-release/denham-urges-new-gsa-commissioner-utilize-civilian-brac-process-eliminate-waste-within- After four years of trillion dollar deficits, and with our country’s national debt now exceeding $16 trillion, Americans need now more than ever Washington to start living within its means instead of borrowing trillions of dollars off the backs of future generations. We need to come together and enact serious, common-sense reforms, because until such time, our debt will only continue to paralyze our economy and jeopardize the future prosperity of our nation. We need pro-growth tax reform, we need to return certainty to Americans and job creators alike, and we need to strengthen and secure Medicare and other critical entitlement programs. Now is the time for accountability in Washington.
