mr. brown: thank you, ladies and gentlemen. it's mike brown, chief of the alexandria police department. i just wanted to get back and give a status as to what we're doing in this community to try and reassure the community in terms of the safety and the security of our residents. right now we are canvassing the immediate area out here, doing door to door with our colleagues from the sheriff's department and the fire department. so that we can reassure people in the community that we believe this incident today is over. although the investigation will continue in this area for a while. we are also working with some of our other departments in the city. for example, with the department of community and health services, to make services that are generally available for these kind of situations available to our community over the next couple of days. we care very much about our residents and the people that come to visit us in this city. and we're doing everything we can to reassure them that this

mr. brown: i won't go into the specifics of the investigation but i've heard the video and i've talked to some of my officers at least. or some of them. it was not only chaotic but there was -- it was a combat situation. that's something that law enforcement is trained to do. our officers are trained to do. i'm very proud of the officers at a.p.d. and the officers from the capitol police who stood their ground and did their job. more will come out of this when the facts are known and the investigation's complete. but i couldn't be more proud of the alexandria police officers. reporter: they were up against somebody with a semiautomatic weapon and they were returning with handguns. mr. brown: they did engage in a fire fight. i won't get into the details of that because that's also part of the investigation. we, like every other agency, rely on doing a shooting investigation. any time we have a discharge of weapons. and we are doing that right now. to get ahead of that would not be fair for the o

mr. brown: thank you, mr. chairman, mr. hassett, ms. patenaude, welcome. senator shaheen, senator portman, nice to see you too. thanks for holding this hearing. i look forward to hearing the views of the two witnesses on important areas of the committee's jurisdiction. the economy, housing, community development. ms. patenaude comes to us with a long resume of involvement with housing and community development programs. h.u.d. management and housing advocacy. more recently she's headed the foundation for housing america's families. in a report entitled the silent housing crisis, the foundation reported that having access to safe and affordable housing has long been recognized as a part of america's critical compact which it's citizens. i look forward to hearing her views, particularly since her past advocacy seems at odds with the approach that h.u.d. has taken in its budget proposal. mr. hassett's a respected economist. he's done important work related to the policies that drove manufacturing

mr. brown: thank you very much, mr. president. russia remains a hostile recalcitrant power deploying its military, its cyber espionage activities, its economic tactics to harm the united states of america, to drive a wedge between us and our allies. president obama began time pose tough sanctions for russia's cyber attacks, its cyber intrusion, its illegal annexation of crimea, it's continuing aggression in ukraine and syria. congress joined in that effort by enacting two measures to tighten and broaden those sanctions. lifting or relaxing those sanctions now would only reward russia's attempts to undermine our democracy. the administration continues to exercise a policy of strategic ambiguity when it comes to russia, and the president, putting it mildly, has sent mixed signals. just last month gary cone, the president's senior economic advisor, seemed to suggest that the u.s. could relax sanctions on russia. and his press reports confirmed two weeks ago in its early days the trump administration considered removing all measures a

hopefully, now that mr paget—brown has gone and the deputy leader has gone, we can replace them with. it is the case that sadiq khan is denied saying that the council should be set aside and new commissioners should be put in by the government, would the residents support that? i think trust in the cabinet has gone, trust in the console and they were not confident in them years ago. they were complaining and trying to raise these this year's they were complaining and trying to raise these issues and the aftermath has been disastrous, as we can see, and new people need to be put in place. in terms of on the ground, a council workers augmented by central government civil servants, how either residents doing? are the residents doing? westminster is still struggling, there is a lack of communication, they are unclear about what is happening in the future they are still confused. are they all highest? they are in temporary accommodation. hotels? yes, but i know there are families in unsuitable accommodation, children sharing rooms with adults, in one room, and so on. you have worked with

brown: the current mr. trump? james: yes. gov. brown: that's a good question. certainly he is threatening some basic patterns and practices that we have. that said, i don't want to just embrace that kind of rather radical characterization. i would say it is highly unusual, even unprecedented, to have a president tweeting in the middle of the night sentences that are not even clear. yes, i am concerned. this is not the norm. it is dangerous. hopefully we are going to find a better path, but we are not out of the woods yet, if that's the implication of your question. james: thank you, governor. laura: at the white house today, president trump promised us very soon that we would know whether or not he is taking the u.s. out of the paris agreement. turkey has condemned the u.s. decision to arm a kurdish militia group in syria as extremely dangerous. the turkish prime minister urged washington to correct what he called a mistake. on tuesday, the pentagon said it started to provide small arms in -- arms and vehicles to the fdf. jet hasia airlines returned to australi
