the infrastructure law provides over $50 billion for the comprehensive list initiative and it providesn additional authorization of $700 million for lead reduction programs like voluntary testing and removal in childcare facilities. this will be a lot of work. it will be worth it to protect our future generations. with the recent guidance, i'm excited to see they are following through on congress intent to make this a small rural and tribal communities a priority of the water infrastructure funding. we will continue our oversight to ensure the states deliver on this vision. today we have annexed what lineup of witnesses to provide first-hand knowledge on how these programs work for communities and the improvements needed and how it will help them in the future. for permanent brain damage to costly service interruptions, our constituents are experiencing the arms that result from allowing wastewater systems to age into disrepair. now is the time to fix this in an efficient and equitable manner. i look forward to today's discussion on practices to ensure the success of the community's lo

congress must provide resources for its implementation. if congress does not act swiftly, we risk losing valuable tools that have allowed us to get beyond the crisis. losing these tools would increase the risk of the crisis returning. as you can see, if congress does not act, the federal government will no longer be able to make monoclonal antibody treatments available for free. we risk losing our capacity demand, leaving us vulnerable to new variants, and may drive more infections. if additional booster shots are needed for everyone, we would not be able to secure enough doses, and the administration would be forced to scale back -- the administration will be forced to scale back its purchase of coronavirus treatments for our most vulnerable citizens. these are just some of the disastrous consequences of inaction. i reiterate what i said earlier this month, to my colleagues concerned about the cost, when it comes to covid crisis, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. i want to thank our witnesses for testifying today. i particu

important thing we can providing is high-end air defense systems. ukrainians need a resupply and we committed to doing thatin soi think that is good. the ukrainians asked for 225's whichh are russian-made aircraft they know how to fly. the administration has not been willing to facilitate that saying the air missiles are adequate and i would point this out. surface-to-air missiles do notot hit tanks were convoys into the ukrainians need a weapon system that can hit tanks and convoys five, ten, 20 miles behind the lines and right now theyes have minimal capabilities and that's where we have to find a way to fill that knowledge and i would encourage the administration there's various capabilities out there thatra allow that and we need to get these tanks and convoys five, ten, 20 miles down the line and if we do that i think russia will retreat. >> host: less than ten minutes left if you want to ask your question, phone lines as usual democrats and republicans and independent. independent line, peter silver spring maryland, you are up. >> caller: i ha

so we're looking across the board right now, not only at what we've provided and continue to provide, but whether there are additional systems that would make a difference. and then we could bride them and we're doing that in close consultation with the ukrainians, as well as with allies and partners on the energy situation. so we've seen over many years, a dependence build up in europe on russian gas, especially as well as on russian oil. and i think what i'm hearing very clearly is a commitment to end that dependence. we've seen again and again, russia use energy as a weapon. ah, as political leverage up, and of course the proceeds that it gets from the sale of its energy is now yes, helping to fuel as aggression against ukraine. and my strong sense is that europeans are very much committed, as i said, to ending that dependence. but it's also not like flipping a light switch. ah, you have to do it on methodically. you have to put in place the, the necessary alternatives, the united states is doing a great deal to, to help in that regard. as you know, for this winter alone. oh, we've

it provides due process, it provides fairness, it ensures that homeless folks are treated fairly. and it exemplifies what we all believe in in san francisco and what we expect our city to do in terms of working with people in great need. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. that was the last caller in the queue. mr. chair, that completes both queues of public commenters. >> thank you, mr. clerk and seeing no other members to comment on this item, public comment is now closed. supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair preston, and thank you president walton, for your work on this legislation. i am not prepared to vote for this today. it is clearly well intentioned and i appreciate the spirit behind it. i am not sure that it makes sense to codify this policy. and i'm not sure that it makes sense to codify this policy by ordinance in the way that this -- that this proposal does as i understand it, and many folks have spoken to this today, our shelter grievance policy is a long-standing policy in our shelters going back to 1992. i have heard that it goes far beyond wh

we have provided immediate working cap over companies providing supplies to ukraine. we have now mobilized more than $3 billion to ukraine to support the continuation of essential government services. this was made possible -- and i want to thank our grant contributions from the united states, the united kingdom, norway, denmark, austria, latvia, lithuania, iceland, and guarantees from the united kingdom, netherlands, and sweden, and parallel financing from japan. these announcements were still being made today, and i know many other countries are also putting money directly into the support effort for ukraine. our mechanisms are providing rapid, targeted, and secure delivery of the support to ukraine in the challenging times. the priority should be to fill ukraine's current financing needs no may -- in a way that minimizes its future debt burden. so, grant contributions will be very important. our mdtf is one mechanism that can be utilized. i would also like to acknowledge complementary approaches, including the imf's administered account. the european union solidari

the insurance on the exchanges are private providers, private providers decide premiums and deductibles. the aca is a law that helps protect americans from being victims of insurance companies. please stop calling it a provider. thank you. host: ok. dr. pearl or dr. zinberg? guest: i agree. q said it exactly right. it is not the care delivery. it is a coverage for care mechanism delivered through insurance companies that have the ability, as elsewhere, to set the premiums and to set the terms under which the care is provided. guest: yes, but they do set those terms and the premiums within strict guidelines set up by the staff -- by the statute, so there's the medical loss ratio, the minimum benefits package that has to be offered, so that is really the reason why you get so few insurers who are willing to participate on these exchanges. they are so restrictive. i agree with dr. pearl, we need change, but though i suspect we would disagree on the change we need, the way to drive down costs and improve quality is improved choice and competition. if you are locked into very rigid governmen

interfere with providing shelter. and i think that if it does, that says more about problems with the service being provided than it does about these rules. so i'm proud to support this, and i appreciate your leadership on it, president walton. and we'll conclude my remarks. and i look forward to hopefully sending this to the full board. supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: not to take us off into a big -- i actually think that it is unquestionable that additional regulations slows the production of the thing that is being regulated. i think that -- i agree that you and i often agree that that is well worth doing, particularly in cases where a private actor is making money on something and the regulation that we are adding is protecting vulnerable people. i think -- i do look at these questions a little bit differently when we are talking about things that are being provided by government through public workers or through non-profits and i think that there too, whether it is requiring that we only buy produc

we have provided that humanitarian aid and will continue to provide that humanitarian assistance. it is helping to accumulate evidence to pursue war crimes against perpetrators of these atrocities, and we are involved in that come as we should become a with the international community. and we will continue to do exactly that. and we will provide the necessary equipment for ukrainians to defend themselves. the priority now is for the air defense systems, because we know russia is using the air to attack the ukrainian people. it will also be antitank, because they are still using tanks in ukraine itself. it will be conventional weapons and ammunition. all of that costs money and all of that needs to be funded so, the president made his request thursday, yesterday, with the amount you referred to, $20 billion for the military, over $30 billion totally. i know our committees will consider that and i am confident there will be strong, bipartisan support to provide necessary u.s. funds to meet these commitments. we want to make sure it is enough, we want to make sure it is in the right

and then epa providing help as well. to your question about how it helps, there are situations where people, small systems, literally don't even have operators. much less a sophistication about how to gain access to funding. and so, the circuit rider program, technical assistance on the ground has always been tremendously important to protection of public health. >> all right, thank you. before i overstay my welcome, let me ask mr. pepper to responded the same question. remotely. >> thank, you chairman carper. the technical assistance, the circuit rider program has been a cornerstone of the rural water association available for the 50 state affiliates. all of our circuit riders are versed in application process, they reversed in trump project management, project development. as senator lummis said, 90% of the systems and wyoming serve under 10,000. well, 92% of those served under 500. so, being able to have more technical assistance like that, i typically have a list of four or five additional certified operators who wou

provided epidemiological data and testimonies in court. while winning the lawsuit requires the expertise of health professionals, using the funding what it is designated to do requires a set of skills that d.p.h. just doesn't have. the settlement funding is required to reduce the amount of lead that came from paint, and that means construction, setting up isolated work areas, replacing leaded building components with new ones, replacing the doors, repainting. the city doesn't do this type of work, and nor can it do this type of work on private property. [indiscernible] homes efficiently while minimizing the risk to the city. s.f.e. had previous contracts with third party administrators, and s.f.e. has the experience in managing construction work in private residents, so it was natural for s.f.e. to be managing a contract for the third party administrator. and so hopefully, this brief historical presentation provides a better understanding in this is necessary. this leads us to the next slide, ryan. there are -- this looks complicated, but

new capabilities we have not provided ukraine. all of them are designed to help , as we talked about, in the fight there in right now and the fight they will be in in coming days and weeks in the eastern part of the country. the united states has committed more than 3.2 billion dollars in security assistance to ukraine since the beginning of the biden administration, including approximately $2.6 billion since the beginning, just since the beginning of the unprovoked invasion february 24. the united states also continues to work with allies and partners to identify and providing ukraine with additional capabilities that are not in our stocks, that we are not as able to get to them directly. we will continue to utilize all of the available tools at our disposal to support ukraine's armed forces in the face of russian aggression. with that we will go to questions. >> i wonder about the helicopters, are these the helicopters had in stock because they were going to go to afghanistan? sec. kirby: yeah. these 11 and i-17's had been earma
