absolutely false report by the national resource institute's africa office based on data from 2017 said you had failed to regularly disclose publicly the financial interests of government officials in the extractive sector or the identities of beneficial owners of extractive companies despite making public commitments to do so the subsidy forces the force to do the 1st obligation as a minister a public official is way too little it probably declare ition of oil assets. and any minister or public official who does not do still risks being prosecuted and we know many who are not being prosecuted as a result of that too is to the great of this administration that only if you months ago we passed you know we put in the in place a policy that compels every ministry every department to make public any expenditure above 10000 past so that the public can challenge what is being spent for is altogether a position that no government has ever succeeded in securing the condition of high profile politicians as an instruction as paid those of them who belong to the will in party we continue to fight

disease control, the national institutes of health, the office of the assistant secretary for preparedness response, and the office of the assistant secretary for financialel resources. they have been invaluable in producing in only nine days, that package we are going to be voting on today. nine days men's a lot of evening work by staff and by the senators involved. and weekends. we did it in nine days because of theme emergency. but that is invaluable, the crisis is real worldwide. there are now 92000 confirmed cases. therent were 3200 confirmed deaths. here in our country that number is rising with more than 150 confirmed cases and 11 deaths. the cdc has told us the public health system will be able to test up to 75000 people by the end of the week. but we should expect the number of cases here to rise. so i strongly support this is $7.8 billion package and the other money that is available. it is going to provide nearly 1 billion to the state and nttribal governments to support public health preparedness and response. it will be over 3 billion in research and evolvement of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostics. nearly 1 billion for healthcare preparedness, phar

resources where they need to be right now. but there are still widely respected scientists within the federal government, including doctor and foundry, the vastly experienced director of the national institutewithin the federal government are still being heard? thankfully those people are still in place because there's a lot of empty chairs right now within the federal science enterprise and it's great they're still there but they're being great they're still there but they‘ re being shunted great they're still there but they're being shunted aside by lyrical appointees, so it's become noticeable to americans that the people who know what's going on are not being allowed to speak to them, and that's adding a lot more distrust to the situation right now with the situation right now with the federal government, particularly with the trump administration. do you get a sense those experts in perdition are able to speak to, for example, vice president mike pence, who is leading the coronavirus response? it's unclear to what extent they're able to speak to them, certainly their words are being filtered before they get to the public and that's a big problem. i don't know if you've been able to stu

for disease control, the national institutes of health, the office of the secretary for prepareness and response and the office of the assistant secretary for financial resources. their help was invaluable in producing in only nine days the package we're going to be voting on today. nine days meant a lot of evening work by our staffs and by the senator involved and weekend, but we did it in nine days because of the emergency. with their help, this was invaluable. the crisis is real. worldwide there are now 92,000 confirmed cases. there are 3,200 confirmed deaths. here in our country that number is rising with more than 150 confirmed cases and 11 deaths. the c.d.c. has told us that the public health system will be able to test up to 75,000 people by the end of the week, but we should expect the number of cases here to rise. so i strongly support this 7.8 billion-dollar package -- $7.8 billion package and the other money that is available. it will provide $1 billion to state, local, and tribe government to prepare, and there will be over $3 billion in research of development of vaccines and diagnostics and also for medical supplies and community health, $1.25 bi

from the national institutes of allergies and infectious diseases has provided important leadership covid-19 to contain the outbreak and provide research. he also charged us to bring resources and expertise to bear on the covid-19 outbreak. i would like to summarize some of the work that has been initiated through these efforts. the coronavirus family includes viruses responsible for a wide spectrum of disease in humans, ranging from the common cold to severe disease caused by mers, sars and covid-19. understanding the differences between the original sars virus and covid-19 viruses, viruses that are similar genetically, yet have very different disease penetration and perhaps transmission patterns, is critical in understanding how the covid-19 virus has been able to spread to some parts of the globe, while the sars virus was eventually contained and then illuminated from the him and population. we need to understand virus shedding in greater depth. that involves looking for infectious virus levels in respiratory secretions. and not only iris levels quantified by the current pcr test. this gives a better understanding of the window of time in which a person can be infectious

whether we remain the institution that our nation's founders created to be the voice of the people. the constitution entrusts congress with deciding how to spend federal resources and develop policy for the entire nation on everything from health care and energy policy to trade and our nation's farm policy. it also entrusts congress with the very important job of determining when to commit the nation to war and to put our service members in harm's way. these important tasks were put in congress' hands because we are the closest to the people. each senator represents an entire state, but each of us in the house represents roughly 700,000 constituents. we are on the ballot every two years. this puts us closer to the people, their worries, their needs, their frustrations, their hopes and their fears. it makes up more responsive to them. because our founders determined that some important tasks demand direct input from the people. the president, the head of the executive branch, has important powers, too. among them is implementing and enforcing the laws that congress enacts. they face regular elections as well. since there are no kings or queens in america. but so
