mr. warner, i did review your e-mail. found it very interesting. >> well, thank you very much. >> next speaker, peter druckmeier. sorry. >> good afternoon. peter druckmeier with the tuolomne river trust. you probably all know that president trump was in bakersfield last week to sign orders to allow for more pumping of water to south san joaquin valley and southern california. and that's all part of recent biological opinions on the state of the delta and the species that depend on it, and what -- diverting more water, how that would impact things. the l.a. times got hold of the original biological opinion, the draft, which said this would have negative impacts, and the trump administration let those scientists go, and they got a new team. and they said voila, we can pump more water, and it won't have an environmental impact. so very similar to what we experienced in november 2018 when u.s. fish and wildlife service was forced to rescind its recommendations in the licensing process, and you'll remember that led to the boar

warner: thank you, mr. chairman. great job on opening statement. [laughter] sen. warner: mr. secretary, it is great to see you. i want to ask you a couple of questions about, i think, some very good work the department has been doing around beneficial ownership and anti-money laundering. last week, your department published the 2020 national strategy for combatting terrorists and other illicit financing, and i know you've gotten a lot of criticism on the side of the aisle, but on this side, i want to commend you for putting out this strategy. i think it represent a critical undertaking. particularly how little the u.s. government really knows about illicit financial risks and what of the tools and some of the aspects we need to move forward. one of the key vulnerabilities identified in the report is the lack of a legally binding requirement to collect beneficial ownership at the time of company formation, a time that we think we provide the least burdensome approach. this failure to have this basic beneficial ownership information hinders law enforcement ability to fully inve

mr. chairman. >> thank you. senator warner. >> thank you, mr. chairman. chairman powell, great to see again. i want to make a couple comments echoing what senator rounds and senator reed and others said. i think there's a lot of our institutions, independents are under assault these days. i share some of the concerns of the senator brown about the independence of the justice department. i write on a regular basis to make sure the intelligence community can maintain their independence. i would ask frankly lead with you if you see efforts made to undermine the feds independence that you keep this committee fully apprised. the feds independence is more important at this point. i want to follow on my good friendpr comments about equifax. i share with you the belief, the challenge that china poses, i also think particularly and the case of equifax and the credit rating agencies broadly, not of us choose toeq be equifax custor or any credit rating agency. that cyber attack wasn't due to sloppy behavior by equifax, and the fact that we have not put in place any, frankly, enhanced rules of liability

mr. chair. >> thank you, senator warner for your responsible approach. senator casey. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much. mr. secretary, good to with you. i wanted to focus on one topic, the middle class, and take you back to a meeting that you were present at, but i'm sure you may not remember because you've had a lot of these. we had a meeting in october of '17, it was members of the finance committee, both party, not everyone, but most of the economy, the president was there, you were there, the administration officials were there, talking about the tax bill. at that time, the tax bill had not passed. it was in the drafting stages. i raised a question with the president about the focus of the tax bill with regard to the middle class. and he expressed a very positive aspiration to have the tax bill be a benefit to the middle class, and in fact, i remember him turning to you, referring to you, i think by your first name, instead of secretary of the treasury, but he said we got to make sure we focus on the middle class. we know what happened after that. the bill passed. and

mr. l chairman. >> thank you. senator warner. >> thank you, mr. chairman. chairman powell, thank you for, your good work. >> i think a lot of our institutions are under assault these days. i share some of the concerns about the independence of the justice department. on a regular basis, to make sure the intelligence community can maintain their independence. i would ask and frankly plead with you that if you see efforts made to undermine the fed's independence that you keep this committee fully apprised. the fed's independence is more important than ever. i want to also follow-up on my good friend's comments about equifax. i share with you the belief, the challenge that china poses, but i also think in the case of equifax and the credit rating agencies broadly, none of us choose to be an equifax customer or any credit rating agency. that cyberattack was due to sloppy behavior by equifax, and the fact we have not put in place any, frankly, enhanced rules of liability around credit reporting agencies is something i hope, i know i have talked with the chairman

mr. chairman. >> senator warner. senator warner: you're down to the last one. let me thank both of you for the meetings that we had. i enjoyed our conversations with both of you. i do hope dr. shelton, in terms of our conversation about our common ties to virginia and where we both live and the fact that you -- you were nominated from virginia to the european bank of reconstruction, that you're not changing that status as well in terms of how the administration has put you forward this time. i know we talked about your wall street journal edtorial. i went back and read it. i think you put forward some views i don't necessarily agree with but you put forward clearly. one thing we come back to, the humphrey hawkins. you did at least mention in the article but i don't think you've mentioned in your commentary to most of the questions at least that i've heard is that humphrey-hawkins expired in 2020. it's no longer the law of the land. i'm not sure that's still a fair notion, and i was going to also raise the question, senator -- -- senator van hollen raised. we ta

mr. chairman, do you have support from the senate intelligence committee from its republican leadership on pursuing this? >> i don't know the answer. i haven't talked to chairman burr about it. i know that mark warnererns that i have at least as it pertains to the information that both i think he and i thought should properly be shared with the rest of the senate. but i can't speak for senator burr. >> chairman adam schiff, who led the house managers in the impeachment inquiry and has deserved a little bit of r & r at this point. thank you, sir, for everything that you have done in addition to your day job over these last weeks and months. thank you for helping us understand it along the way. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> all right. we've got a lot more to get to. we just got in some new numbers from iowa of all things and steve kornacki's going to walk us through those next. stay with us. through those nex. stay with us saturdays happen. pain happens. aleve it. aleve is proven stronger and longer on pain than tylenol. when pain happens, aleve it. all day strong. 1917 has been nominated including best cinematography, best director, and best picture of the year. good ideas catch on fast.

mr. president, i rise to introduce the chief financial officer vision act of 2020. shortened to be c.f.o. vision act of 2020. i'm pleased to have senators warner, johnson, lankford and perdue join me as cosponsors to strengthen the financial management and improve financial and performance data. improve financial management. this is numbers, i know this puts people to sleep. improve financial data management can ensure that the taxpayer money is wisely and appropriately spent. effective financial management helps to safeguard taxpayer money and ensure it is used lawfully, efficiently and effectively for the purposes intended. 30 years ago congress passed the chief financial officers act of 1990, known as the c.f.o. act. this law laid a new foundation for federal financial management. it established a financial management leadership structure, provided for long-range planning, it required audited financial statements, and it strengthened accountability reporting, among other reforms. the c.f.o. act also called for improvement in the integration of agency accounting and financial management systems and in cost information and in our financial ma

warner and i have introduced legislation to extend authorization for islamorada. both increase the investment, but increase, and provide reforms and oversight in the process. i hope we can pull that into the legislation. mr. willis, thank you for mentioning the transit workforce safety bill that we've introduced. hope we can also it folded into this reauthorization effort. i want to focus firm minute. you gave a great story about the woman in west virginia. who is able to finally get out and about because of public transit. one of the challenges that we continue to phase is a first mile, last mile, issue. we have these great transportation networks. we also know that what we find ways to get people from that first mile to their home for transit. we can dramatically increase it. we can improve quality of life for people. as we look at this reauthorization, i am interested in your perspectives on how we can, as a federal government, incentivize first and last mile length. a maryland we have a pilot project in montgomery come marie. the counties got this over like system. where they are beginning to take people back and forth, it is the component of the trip. i am interested in your thoughts on how we can e

mr. warner: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from virginia. mr. warner: mr. president, i appreciate my colleague's comments about state and local election security which i support. i see to members of the senate intelligence committee on the floor. and i'm extraordinarily proud of the bipartisan, unanimous work that we've done to point out what happened in 2016 and lay out with a great deal of specificity what we need to do as a nation to protect ourselves in 2020. this legislation i'm proposing today is really kind of the simplest, lowest-hanging fruit that we all say that we don't want foreigners interfering in our elections. all this legislation says if a foreign government or foreign agents interfere to try to help or hurt any presidential candidate, we ought to make sure there's no ambiguity that the appropriate response is not to say thank you, but the appropriate response is call the f.b.i. that's the message we've heard from director wray. that's the message we've heard from the intelligence community. if we can't agree on that, where are we? and othe
