chair mr. tyrell from wyoming you mention it is something that needs to happen here in oregon we agree with you completely that watersheds are an essential part of the water system and of course restoration is essential activity but sadly we can't seem to get into the port and there is a prohibition of cutting down trees or trying to do things that would help dramatically to improve the watershed and water supply it is the craziest thing and we all know that we can't seem to get there so with the same thing happening in wyoming somebody doing about it? >> . >> thank you for the question. i know i can speak to the sports in access to them we have also been not quite like oregon this year but in the fires in recent years those west of laramie were horrible and in my view if we are interested in that points to removing fuels are just healthy growth forest are valuable in terms of snow and maintaining those areas for the environment and people who rely on water so it would seem and then could do no

the vice chair has mentioned, mr. meadows made a surprise visit to the state run audit in georgia which preceded the infamous call where she resided. we need to talk to mark meadows about that. mr. meadows interacted with a lot of people, allegedly including some of our own colleagues on the day of the violent attack. we know many of those interactions to laze on a personal cell phone device. we need to ask mark meadows about that. mr. meadows himself has acknowledged that he has responsive and non-privileged documents and communications. he sent some of them to us and filed others in court. it certainly appears mr. meadows played a key role in events that culminated in the violent attack on the capital and on our democracy. he has important information about those events and he must follow the law and cooperate with his committee's lawful request or face the consequences. as much as we might personally like mr. meadows, we have to take this action today because no one is above the law. thank you, mr. chairman. >> the

thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you mr. chair. thank you, secretary. i have a question and concern. my question followsws up at the end of your dialogue with senator johnson. you said your belief would be that ofst russia further invaded the country of ukraine that the north stream pipeline would be suspended, and i want to pick up on that. it's been subject of controversy. no one is pro- pipeline making russia happy but we have allies that are and the administration and the past administration have tried to balance that. do you think our european allies including those on the pro- pipeline camp would find a russian invasion of ukraine so troubling that they would be willing to work together with us to either stop the pipeline from being certified in a certification process or stop the operation of the pipeline in other words would an invasion of ukraine tipped then balance so they allies would join together to make sure the north stream pipeline was truly suspended as you indicated? >> i believe it absolutely would. as you know this is gratuitous anyw

mr. chair, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from oklahoma reserves. the gentlewoman from pennsylvania is recognized. ms. scanlon: thank you, mr. speaker. i just remind our colleagues, we're here today to talk about a rule to bring the protecting our democracy act to the floor. that is a bill that would prevent criminal behavior by presidents, not by illegal aliens. so i would just kind of redirect the conversation there. we're also here to engage in the extremely important business of passing the national defense authorization act and to pass -- to help the senate since they're having difficulty on their own to raise the debt limit. so that's what we're here to discuss and with that i would reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman reserves. the gentleman from oklahoma is recognized. mr. cole: i yield two minutes to the distinguished gentlelady from missouri, one of the recognized experts on defense in the congress, mrs. hartzler.

. >> thank you mr. chair. this is a welcome committee hearing on an issue that is of incredible importance not only to the seven states involved with colorado but all of the western united states. and, of course, as you mentioned, this is the first of a two-part hearing on the consequences of this two-decades-long drought. i'm very happy that we're spending that kind of time on this issue. it is certainly that important. of course, as we know and as i mentioned, this drought isn't affecting just the colorado, it's affecting all of oregon, california, washington, and all of the western united states. and since our last meeting on drought, which is about five months ago, about 5.8 million acres have burned up here in oregon and california. and project water user in oregon's climate region and large parts of the california central valley project have been given zero allocations of water. and, of course, they're not the only ones. this absence of water has devastated communities throughout the western united state

mr. chair? >> chair mar: thank you, madame clerk. colleagues, recently there has been focus on retail theft impacting stores like target and high-end retailers. these are real issues, although i believe they've been sensationalized by the media. i want to thank the mayor for announcing the anti-retail theft initiative. this is a positive step to addressing these serious problems, but i think what is missing from the discussion and action on the issues is the voice of our neighborhood small businesses who have also been impacted by an increase in property crime and are far less able to recover and respond than the corporate chain stores and union square luxury retailers. i called for this hearing sort of in response to supporting dozens of small neighborhood businesses in my district who have been burglarized, vandalized and impacted by property crime during the pandemic and they really struggled to recover from these incidents and so i call for this hearing really to look at what our city departments are doing to address and really p

chair pappas: have about -- mr. oakley talked about taking a wider look at other systems that might meet the needs. are you pursuing any other options? any off-the-shelf systems used by the private sector that might be available? mr. parrish: the actual technology solution should be the last decision made. then assess for your requirements are for the future and what you are executing. all the hard work and a new product should be done upfront before you decide on a technological path forward. we are taking actions to get back with you on that. chair pappas: is one of the things you are considering as part of this look before you arrived at the technology solution the fact that dod plans to upgrade to logical piping -- to logical by 2023? mr. parrish: logical has been delayed to 2025. the mission of the department of defense is to fight and win wars. our mission is to care for the warriors upon completion of the military duties. ms. kramer said our medical focus -- we are focused on the medical aspect. on the dod si

mr. chairman, welcome. congratulations. mr. chair man, i want to start with you. i realize that no one is clairvoyant, but i think it's fair to say that the experts that have been advising you about the future rate of inflationre have pretty much the same credibility as those late night psychic hotlines you see on tv. is the fed considering increasing the pace of its tapering? we've got to get control of inflation. it's ravaging our people. >> i think what we missed about miinflation, we didn't predict e supply-side problems, and those are highly unusual and very difficult and nonlinear. it's hard to predict those things, but that's what we miss and that's why the professional forecasters had lower projections. you asked about the paper, so yes as i mentioned earlier with the labor supplypp and we have seen strong spending data and remembering that every dollar of asset purchases does increase accommodation. we now look at the economy that isha very strong and inflationay pressures that are high and that means that it's appropriate i think for us to discuss that a

the chair now recognizes dr. meeks for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair. you know, it is interesting listening to the panel and i agree this is a global pandemic so all of our panelists would agree this is a global pandemic. yes? all of them agree that we need to have immunity and we know that we can acquire immunity through two different sources. one through vaccination, and the second way that we can acquire immunity is through infection acquired immunity which we have heard discussed already. it is frustrating to me to share that the response from some of our panelists is that if the united states forces the u.s. companies to give up intellectual property rights and patent protections to allow more dosages to be developed, one is that, are there facilities that can develop vaccines immediately and with the safety requirements and then, would, is there a public health infrastructure in order to deliver vaccines? three, while we're waiting for this individuals are developing covid-19 and developing immunity so perhaps talking about immunity would be extra
