the national guard is no different. guard personnel have fought in the wars in iraq and afghanistan, aided countless civilians in natural disaster and see providing essential healthcare and support to fight the current covid-19 pandemic. and they suffer from a convoluted and understaffed system of sexual assault and sexual harassment prevention programs. complex and cumbersome reporting processes and a lack of justice. the numbers are staggering yet the data is lacking. according to the dod 2019 annual report on sexual assault in the military, the number of reported sexual assaults in the guard jumped nationwide from 173 in 2009 to 607 in 2019. more than a 300% increase. beyond that, little data exists. i've been advocating for progress more than ten years. those numbers don't tell even a fraction of the story. individual stories of guard personnel caught in a web of confusing bureaucracy are harrowing, stories like the west virginia national guard officer, then lieutenant general teresa james raped in her hotel room by

the national museum of the american indian and the national air and space museum, while at risk, are not as vulnerable and have fewer lower level spaces and collections. the national museum of african-american history and culture has flood mitigations included in its original design. we must take steps. flooding causes more than just water damage. high humidity and temperature fluctuations are possible if our climate control systems, or our generators are damaged. this could impact the objects in our care. beyond flooding, it is becoming more challenging and expensive to maintain the environmental controls in these spaces. even minor fluctuations can harm delicate items. to address these concerns, the smithsonian pass national collections program has been purchasing and installing gasket cabinetry to replace substandard storage. these new enclosures can effectively protect the collections and buffer environmental fluctuations. the -- flood space -- flood safe spaces. with construction to begin in fy 2022, the suitland collection center in maryland will provide space for collections n

well, we call it national security law for a reason, because it has to do with national security. in fact, the national security law is a piece of national legislation which is supposed to be legislated by the npcsc, and that is the only reason why that is being done that way. and this is not a hong kong piece of law, but it has to protect our national... we have to protect our national security. hong kong, as a part of china, has the responsibility to do it just like in any other country. they also have the national security law. and i was asking you the question, why is it ok for the us to have their national security law? but it's not ok for hong kong and china to have our own national security law? why is that? i find it very hypocritical, especially if you consider the national security, the highest penalty was actually death penalty in the us, when the highest penalty in hong kong is only life imprisonment. so how is that any different? as amnesty international has said, looking at the national security law, "almost anything could be deemed a threat to national security unde

to be a court of the same rights as every other nation. and every nation would have to accept the fundamental principle of democracy namely government with the consent of the government. in this worldwide community of self-governing equals wilson said there would be no competing alliances there would be just one alliance of all nations and they would be bound together by their commitment to keep the peace. then and only then could every nation live without fear of invasion and without the need to maintain large expensive armies and navies. wilson had been advised to by several people to delete the peace without victory phrase for a very good reason. it made no distinction between the war's perpetrators and its victims. he left it in and was roundly criticized. but his idea of replacing the balance of power with a worldwide community of power a league of nations was widely praised. not by large though. large objected to just about everything wilson had said recited his objections also in a speech to the senate. what's the world ought to bel

our nation from the deadly virus. these heroes are essential to keeping our families and our nation safe but current law falls short of delivering the benefits they deserve. with the dward and reserve g.i. bill parity act we will ensure that every day that our reservists and guardsmen, heroes, that serve in uniform, will count toward their g.i. benefits. and in doing so we will lift up hundreds of thousands of current and future veterans across the nation to that they too will have the opportunity they need to thrive in the 21st century economy. let me be clear ensuring every service member has equal access to benefits is an issue of fairness. when we pass this legislation we will build on a proud, bipartisan progress forged by generations of lawmakers in this chamber and in the senate as well. we show our heroes that they will always have our unwavering support and we honor the sacrifice on the battlefield, the military battles, and on the battlefield we will leave know soldier behind and when they come home we pledg

nations. as a matter of fact, we're continuing to see even more progress within the department, in terms of how do we be more proactive in terms of when we're working cooperative relationships, when there's weapons systems, support that is needed, how can we help provide the information necessary so that not only does that nation get the benefit of what the u.s. has already done, but in terper turn, how do we take back from that benefit that we saw with that developing nation or in that weapon system and bring it back to the u.s. benefits? so we've seen this reciprocal behavior over the years and we're seeing it now as much as ever before. so there has been zero in my mind any indication that there isn't a belief that the u.s. military is in with the allies and that that support remains as strong as ever. david: let me take a specific example. our european allies and nato, still a very strong alliance, are precious to us. but we hear increasingly from some europeans, especially france, that th

we are a great nation. my fellow americans, tragically there are lies conceived and spread for profit and power. we must be absolutely clear about what is true and what is a lie. and here is the truth. the former president of the united states of america has created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election. he has done so because he values power over principle. because he sees his own interest as more important than his country's interest, america's interest, and because his bruised ego matters more to him than our democracy or our constitution. he can't accept he lost, even though that is what 93 united states senators, his own attorney general, his own vice president, governors and state officials in every battleground state have all said. he lost. that is what 81 million of you did as you voted for a new way forward. he has done what no president in american history, the history of this country has ever, ever done. he refused to accept the results of an election and the will of the american peopl

this is behind on a national level process that doesn't reduce forces, cannot be an inclusive national level process. it cannot hope to solve it, your guess, foundation, foundational longstanding problem. the only way this country come move forward. if all stakeholders on all side are prepared to make that painful compromise, that is necessary. this is a country with significant divergence in terms of what people want. no one can get everything that they want in a country like it. but it is important taking the existing institution as a starting point to find a solution for the crisis that has been established in the country. but we need to see a lot more from the government and the prime minister in terms of making those painful conversations. compromises and as i said at the beginning, primary responsibility lives with the prime minister and his government to create the conditions for that kind of and that will assist you the country to it. more rural, sustainable. a future kettle, i saw you darning along to a lot of what a wall was saying there. so i want to ask you what your reacti

properties of national significance what we call national stark landmarks. it took the national historic preservation act of 66 to say we're going to broaden that definition to include properties of state and local significance. so, yeah, it didn't create it, but it did expand the national register as to our places and in terms of how many are on the national register somewhere probably around 150 to thousand now keep in mind 150, yes, but keep in mind that's not just one property. that could be a district with. that with 500 properties. so so that's one metric the other metric that's important is properties that are eligible for the register that meet the register criteria that are set up by the park national park service. that is an could be an infinite number. i mean that's hundreds of thousands and they also get protection of section 106 i once lived in a neighborhood that had his national historic status. what does that mean? well, it means that you are you were depending on what the use of the properties there. it might be eligible for tax benefits. it
