are providing inclusive environment but also providing with the universities and colleges work with our partners on the hill. >> you mentioned the relevant parties, stakeholders it involved an assistant bird earlier talk of the student loan provisions about the public service wondering what else you see it needs to be done to fix the system? and will that require congressional action. >> thank you. we got into education to provide to students. i've not met a college president of my visits a traditional college, a community college, a tribal college. to decide with the leadership doesn't believe that. but we need to do is re-examine to where are and how we've gotten to this mess, to the broken system. it further exacerbates the haves and have-nots. and we have to identify which practices aren't leading to a poor return on investment. leading to high debts,ur low income and with the call that out. i'm meetingi later this week wh some of the folks at the department to engage in conversations in higher ed i space. as i said before, i do not come to the table with a plan and ask people to si

or provide all the services that you claim to provide? the reality is out there in the abortion business, that's what they want women to choose. i think that's being exposed right now. my home state of idaho, yes, the planned parenthood in boise, right next to one of our standard health care clinics, closed down. i do want to say that in idaho we have a pregnancy resource centers and life affirming clinics here at the state of idaho. now, there are two planned parenthood's and i think maybe one other abortion clinic. so, if anybody would like some helpful advice on how to have enough accessibility for women facing an expected pregnancies, you can't look to the pregnancy care center movement and centers like stanton. again, nationwide, we outnumber clinics for the one. if you want accessibility, look to us and what we're providing. it the charges against our center and wanting to shut us down, i think senator warren said let's go after clinics like health care, with 100,000 dollar fines to shut down what we're doing. kharkiv won't care for

the reason, like those programs, provides two things that are critical here number one, it provides afinancial incentive to conduct that cleanup. you are able to recover your cleanup costs back from their property taxes. so if i spend $1 million on cleanup and my property, because the redevelopment has increased in value, i am able to recover from the increase in value. my cleanup costs. we are also able to monetize that which means if i sell the property later, my buyer who will then also benefit from that offset in taxes that i can recover that from a buyer. that's a major incentive which is quite frankly underwritten a lot of these deals that otherwise would not occur. the second protection that provides which is common with a lot of the state programs that i discussed is a liability protection. senator capito, you mentioned earlier, and that is if i am a buyer who had no responsibility for the contamination i didn't even own the property when the examination occurred, and i am agreeing to come in and conduct a state of approved clean up, ,f i don't have certain liability protectio

as illustrated by my testimony, epa clean up money provides a very - of the overall funding provided to construct the spaces and communities have been obligated to maintain that area especially that are safe for the residents and so the statutory limits increase is important i would also a go further to say that sites that remain shall of received funding from vep should also previous funding for cleanup should also be eligible for additional funds the statutory limit needs to be 200,000 and so i think there is consensus on increasing the statutory limit in the second area where i think we did not hear it from the individuals but i know that in region one, reallyte highlighted the need fr building abolition to be ineligible cleanup expense is pretty wild that mill building a super and theon contaminants hae to get up in the soil to be eligible for fema. sue gooden thinks. >> basically two areas that we should drill down on. [inaudible]. >> raising the limit on the remediation costs component is the big issue with these grants and as i mentioned earlier, very often you have the monies

hopely we will is time where we can have the service provider working group provide feedback and offer input on the findings and recommendations of the cna. in context of the service and allocation plan. >> and then in october, we'll relinquish or case conflicts with the oversight and advisory committee meeting. we want our service provide are working group members to attend the oac meeting on october 17th. in terms of activities, we have an on going discussion group lead by arch with elders it is looking to raise the profile of the importance of creative ageing and how arts plays a role in that. they of course, are look to increase state and local funding for that. government funding as well and also to increase senior communities priority of funding. for those services and lastly, they want to assess and address the challenges that -- guess with providing creative programming and we know some of the challenges are with hybrid programming now. we continue to talk about that. case has an on going survey providers to update what their services are currently. >> so we can help the member

are providing most ofn apartment but also providing a good return on investment.t may be with us universities and colleges may come up with different practices that overcome the parts of the hill to try to shore up the country are targeted currencies are accessible to all students. noah robinson from the monitor. of course. next you mention parties, stakeholders in the system. earlier you talked about public service, and an cap trip and lowering risk. morning what else do you see needs to be done to fix the system? will that require congressional action with the likelihood of that actually happening? sure, thank you. got into education to provide opportunities for students. i have not been untraditional egcollege, a community college,h bible college and hsi shift does not believe that. what we need to do is re-examine what we are and how it got to the segments. to the broken system. but that you have to identifyr which practices are leading to a poor return on investment. leading to high debts, low income. though i am meeting later this week with some of the folks

support for what we believe are providing inclusive support and providing a return on investments. it may be that we work with our partners on the hill to ensure our universities are accessible to all students. >> you mentioned party stakeholders involved in the system. earlier you talked about public loans and red tape. what else needs to be done to fix the system. and what is the likelihood of that actually happening? edu. sec. cardona: we got into education to provide opportunities for students. hbcu, traditional college, community college, tribal college, where the union -- where the leadership doesn't believe that. we need to re-examine all -- we need to re-examine where we are and how we got to this broken system where it further exacerbates the haves and have-nots. we have to identify which practices are leading to our forward return investment, leading to high debt, low income. and we have to cut that out. i am meeting later this week with some of the folks at the department to partners in highen to look at these factors differently. i don't come to the table with a plan an

establish launch providers and immersion launch providers was also a key element of the strategy being devised and i think they are on the right path, we will see as we get close to the final decisions how that strategy plays out but if confirmed i look forward to getting inputs from all committee members and other stakeholders. >> there has been some criticism of the program particularly its use of certified providers. i want you to know this committee understands the importance of maintaining a assured access to space especially for the most challenging. we want to take advantage of private-sector innovation, you talked about that earlier but we are talking about unique and expensive payloads that if they are not delivered perfectly, will result in capability gaps for our war fighters so we understand there has to be a balanced approach to that risk. when you say that you want to include stakeholders give me examples. >> all the launch service providers, the people whose payloads we are putting on orbit, the acquisition community has to balance contracting requirements, cost profilin

i think keeping a fair, open competition to make sure as many providers both established launch providers as well asemerging lunch prproviders is also a key element of the strategy being devised . and i think they're on the rightpath . we will see as we get closer to the final decisions on how that plays out if confirmed i look forward to getting inputs from all committee members as well as other nastakeholders in this critical mission set for space force. >> there's been some criticism of the programs particularly its use of accertified providers but i want you to know this committee understands the importance of maintaining assured access to space, especially for the most halogen orbits. we want to take advantage of the private sectors, you talk about that earlier but we are talking about unique and very expensive payloads that if they are not delivered perfectly, they will result in capability gaps for our war fighters so we understand there has to be a balanced approach to that risk . when you say that you want to include all stakeholders, give me examples. >> certainly. although laun

and provide tanks and armored personnel carriers to ukraine. the u.s. has provided a number of armored personnel carriers -- armored ambulances. the heavier wheel vehicles and other countries have stepped up as well. germany just recently provided some armored air defense capabilities to ukraine. so the entire community continues to work together to provide as much as we can as fast as we can, and focus on those things that are relevant to the current fight but also provide some capability going forward there. it continues to be a work in progress but i can assure you that the entire team remains focused on this and germany stepped up to do its part along the way as well. >> thank you very much, everybody, we appreciate it. >> c-span's campaign 2022 coverage is your front row seat to the midterm election. watch it as it happens on the campaign trail, meet and greets, debates and other events during this year's races and do not miss a single election moment because you can take us with you on the go with c-span now, a free mobile video app. your

>> you have the technical assistance providers throughout the country. i think there's six of them if i'm not mistaken. my counterpart is one of those providers, so they work to do that same thing. the problem is there needs to be a lot more work to be done if you're going to get out to those of smaller communities. and i have to tell you it takes a whole lot of one-on-one meetings in order to really get them on board. >> so you're saying we could help the federal government applying the resources for technical assistance for the communities that have challenges working through the application process for grants and eligibility. can we make them a little bit simpler and make it easier for these communities? >> that would make us all happy happier i can assure you. again for the smaller communities, they are kind of a step behind just because it's very difficult to be able to pull the needed requirements into those applications. if you don't score well on one a subsection of an application, you probably won't be funded as was mentioned earlier we had to t

three i think keeping a fair open competition, to make sure as many providers, establish launch providers, as well as a merging launch providers, was also a key element of the strategy being devised. i think that they are on the right path, i get closer to the final position, if it plays. out i look forward to getting input from all the committee members, as well as the other stakeholders in this critical mission set for the space force. >> there has been some criticism of the program, particularly its use -- certified providers, but i want you to know, this committee understands the importance of maintaining assured access to space. especially, for the most challenging orbit. we want to make, take advantage of private sectors innovation, you talked about that earlier. but we are talking about, unique and very expensive pay loads. that if they are not delivered perfectly, it will result in capability gaps for a war fighter. we understand, there has to be a balanced approach, to that risk. when you say that you want to include, all stakeholders, give me examples. >> certainly, all the laun

we ask how va provides -- providers with moral objections would be excused from providing abortions, counseling, or a performing abortions. the va blew past the questions they learn to respond to our questions. when we did receive the answer to my question, as i said yesterday, many of the responses were non or half answers. setting aside the basic illegality of this effort, how can you justify proposing such a significant change without being able to provide timely responses to basic questions about it? dr., and then i'm going to ask this question as well with that, all you have talked about so far when the question came up earlier is about emergency situations. you are proposals and what you have answered us goes way far past emergency. also passes well past the -- do you have a response? >> yes, congressman. i understand that you are taking this position around our authority. i want to say that we respectfully disagree with that. our council -- consultation with the department of justice. what i can tell you is, when we were trying to be responsive to the urgent situation that fac

who monitors security there and how is the region now provided with electricity? correctly, the question was very quiet, but if i correctly understood the situation around the nuclear power plant, what does it mean now, as i said, the reactors are shut down, the reactors are shut down and, uh, at the moment we are in the process of regular operation, diesel fuel is working at the nuclear power plant generators that keep it alive. oh, we are restoring power lines. well now they are not relevant, but nevertheless we are restoring mini power lines that were destroyed under the stations that were broken at one time. e opponent, therefore, well station patterns present moment. uh, everything is in normal mode. uh, the enemy is not landing, thank god, so we have time. to restore all the people went to the workplace of about a thousand people, who are now needed to maintain the station, because regardless of the fact that they operate reactors. the station requires in any case, maintenance of one’s own and regular work is going on, which should go. even if the station is

the department was able to provide a staffing budget of $2 million but could not provide scopes of work for some of the positions noted in that budget and we noted the department had only spent $200 thousand and the contract only goes to december, mid-december, so on those basis we are recommending a reduction in the not to exceed amount from 3.5 to $1 million, which i understand the department agrees with. the other piece of this resolution i wanted to flag for you is that the existing legislation on file has a provision that allows the department to amend the contract up to $10 million or 10 years without further board approval. i think i would recommend you strike that out so any change to the contract would be subject to board review and believe the department agrees with that as well. happy to answer any questions. >> thank you, just want to confirm the department agrees with those recommendations of the bla? >> yes, we agree with there bla recommendations. >> thank you. i just want to note for the record, the retroactivity in the contract is allowed because of the special emergenc
