the new york times the intelligence community warned the white house and warned the congressional oversight committees as early as december we have to take that seriously i know in my own experience at the cia and i was there almost 15 years that's exactly what the cia did they did warn the white house they did warn the congressional oversight committees when things like this would happen when i was still there it was some hours i mean the cia was all over sars reporting every minute development to the appropriate policy makers i can only assume that they were doing the same thing in this pandemic so this is truly a failure of u.s. policy breakers to best prepare this country i mean that's really ultimately where this blame should lies and. i think that's right tyrrell i think that you know every administration has policy failures but this is one for the history books i think we've really blown this in a big way. it is truly staggering when you really look at it where do you see this going john with your expertise as a former analyst you looked at the world you looked at how countries are reacting whe

that is why i pushed for this inclusion of a special inspector general and congressional oversight committee. ahead butg days lie help is on the way and we will get through this. we are hardy people. we are survivors and we keep the faith. optimism is just as contagious as fear. i proudly represent new jersey's fifth congressional district. i want to begin by saying how grateful i am to our first responders and frontline health care workers who are doing so much to take care of so many people, not just in my district, but all across our country. so thank you very much. you from all of us. in new jersey's fifth district, we have about 2000 of the nearly 10,000 cases in the state of new jersey that are presumed positive. many hospitals in my district are suffering. we pray for all of them. together as democrats and republicans and americans, we join together to support them and let them know that we are thinking about them. we've also lost many lives in new jersey. to each ando out every family. this legislation is critically important. first, it gets direct aid to our states, to help in this

he spoke before the congressional oversight committee for about an hour.

. >> reporter: a congressional oversight committee discussed the disastrous results of ladex. >> lack of preparation is not an option. obviously, we've got to do more to be prepared for these types of outbreaks. >> reporter: it's unclear whether president trump or his top aides were informed about the exercise, but there were 8 other a4r5larm bells including worldwide assessments flagging pandemics as a major threat to the united states. a 2019 exercise revealing deficiencies with vaccine development and critical supplies, noting capacity will not be sufficient to meet demand. and this report, released just two days before trump declared a national emergency, warning that the country's lack of coordination around pandemic planning and preparation could limit the success of the national biodefense strategy. >> for the outbreak of covid, that there was no single leader in charge of the entire biodefense enterprise which spans as many as two dozen agencies, and there was no one person with eyes on that spending. and with eyes on those strategic priorities for what that spending should be

. >> have you and senator mcconnell made any progress on naming a chair to the congressional oversight committee? yes, we have made progress. i thought that was a yes or no. hopefully soon. i think it will be imminent. thank you for your question. do you have the power to move alexander stephens, jefferson days of his -- davis to some dark corner of the capital and if so, will you do so? >> we will see. , i wasrt with a feather like to start with a feather. let's see how we can have consensus about this. members over the years, especially members in the black caucus, have just wondered what are these people doing here. most of us don't know one from the other. but there they are. jesse jackson junior wrote a book on this i believe, a more perfect union which did not include alexander stephens and jefferson davis having a place of honor in the capital of the united states. on theoke -- let's focus bill. let's focus on no chokehold, no no knockofiling, warrants in case of drug cases. let's talk about ending injustice, racial injustice in our law enforcement. let's focus on what we do about immunit

i spoke to the only house republican on the congressional oversight committee that is looking over thees act, and he really said he would caution against people interpreting fed chair jay powell's comments urging for there to be more economic stimulus as an endorsement of speaker pelosi's plan. what you heard from the conservative interpretation from the fed chairman, he is saying there is still tools in the toolbox and main street lending facilities will be open, and should congress have to app -- act again they could do so, but that is a stark difference from pelosi's $3 trillion plan. tom: someone like you has never seen this, someone like me has never seen this, and the oldest person in the senate has never seen this, 20 plus percent unemployment. how are the suits and ties and fancy dresses in washington going to react? kevin: there is a topical frustration at the state and municipality level that they are not acting quickly enough. it is one thing to have something like trillions of dollars, the numbers are so astronomical, to say this will support main street and small businesse

promised to us monella in the very 1st bill were nancy pelosi said there was going to be a congressional oversight committee that was going to see it well that oversight committee is not doing their job and they're supposed to be the backup to congress is not doing their job and allowing these money to continue to flow freely unaccounted for and as today's jobs report shows it's not actually helping people keep their jobs ok real quickly last question here i got to play devil's advocate for the big companies the shake shack the mcdonald's the burger kings the harvard's if this money is lawfully written out for them what's wrong with them having that money because they do have hundreds of employees to pay. and they do in shake shake actually got here's the problem shake shack in here is a national corporation well guess what how it's based out of is that under 500 employees well and shake shack location they deadly have less than $500.00 employees the problem is all of this mill is these local franchisees need to be looking at their corporation 1st with their very rich c.e.o.'s as well as these large ivy lea

oversight committee. we have an oversight committee itself. this new, special committee is under the oversight committee itself. it is inside the oversight committee. we have a congressional oversight committee who i appointed someone to who used to be in treasury, who owned a bank. probably one of the best statesmen you have. they report to us every 30 days. we have the inspector general. get the ga $20 million. when you talk about oversight, we have a bond redundant and i want to participate and lead in every way possible when it comes to oversight. your question, if it is about nancy pelosi's committee, let's look at who she put on the committee. she was concerned about oversight, when she announced the committee and chair without telling you what the mission of the committee was about. tell me the four things that committee is supposed to do? the only thing she announced was jim clyburn would be in charge. jim clyburn has only said that the coronavirus is a chance to restructure government. that's not oversight, at a a restructuring of government. it seems like he's concerned about something else than oversight. then she puts on maxine waters. she also puts on raskin,

then two others that are already in place to oversee it, plus all the congressional oversight committees, one of them being the ways and means committee as well. so no, i think this will have more than enough oversight. the question will be, will it be enough money especially for our small businesses. that's where i think the president's call for another $250 billion to make sure our small businesses can ride this out i think is crucial. i hope congress will look -- politics can wait. we can't afford another delay. our small businesses certainly can't. i'm hopeful congress will pick that up and pass it this week. >> let me take the other side of this, congressman. are you content with the speed at which this is progressing, as you go around your district, if you're getting out at all, are businesses getting antsy? >> businesses are, as you know, because so much of this government and economy has been shut down by state and local leaders, that has shuttered a lot of local businesses. they need the cash. they want to keep their workers. i never dreamed you could set up a major loan program

sit or do you worry the result of this is there will be less communication with the congressional oversight committees>> i worry that this is a president, a corrupt president emboldened believing that he was acquitted. i look at the news today that also attorney general barr is requiring that he has to sign off on any investigation into any presidential campaign. of course he should be involved, as any attorney general is, but i'm afraid that this is going to have a chilling effect on hard-working fbi agents who may be provided a tip about something that's going on or prosecutors in local offices who may be worried that their careers could be at risk if attorney general barr is going to continue his pattern of protecting donald trump and acting as his personal lawyer. that's what i fear right now. the best thing i think we can do is to just overwhelm the ballot boxes and leave no doubt as to what the upcoming outcome is going to be. >> congressman eric swalwell, thank you for spending some time with us. we're grateful. we'll get in our last break and we'll be right back. in our last we'll be right bac

both as a member of the house financial services committee as well as a member of the congressional oversight committee cares act. secondly, if that money is coming back to the treasury, it is an opportunity to reprogram those funds both for the ppp program and add something to that where we have $138 billion we have been trying to get extended through speaker pelosi through ppp. i put this on the table for our hoteliers and restaurant folks struggling due to the lack of travel and shutdowns. that is senator marco rubio's idea of a pandemic loan program from the sba that he has introduced in the senate. it might be a productive use of some of that reprogrammed money. taylor: we only have about one minute left. what should janet yellen due date one if she is confirmed as treasury secretary? rep. hill: she should make representations -- recommendations to the congress on what support the fed needs to be on the look for economic conditions. will they continue to improve? she needs to have that plan. and if they are going to deteriorate, she needs to have that plan both. that is what she needs to communica

>> i think it's minimal when you have a congressional oversight committee.the committee has basically said all we are doing is investigating this until late summer. that by itself kind of truncates it, it makes it sound like the more of a political exercise. it really hurts the credibility of the committee. presumably they could be looking at things like violations of the foreign corrupt practices act, or corollaries to that, bribery or wire fraud or mail fraud. i think if they announce they will do this and be done in a couple months, that's kind of like declaring the end of the war before you talk about it. i'm not particularly incensed dominic convinced they will come up with overwhelming evidence in that short a period of time. >> harris: think of her journey. i have a great weekend. >> you, too, harris. >> harris: we are getting close to the beginning of the school year. very close for some people who might have thought is a good time. many districts are supposed to make a choice but in person classes or to continue digitally warding mode. how those dec

there will be a congressional oversight committee. there will not be six months where mnuchin is the sole authority. is that your understanding, and if it is that change, would that be acceptable to you? >> now, it's not acceptable. it's in our bill. house bill and senate proposal. we are each taking credit for that. but the president -- you don't want me to comment and on the president saying he's the oversight. why don't we just move on from that. >> it does raise the question of whether or not you have confidence what is coming out can be voted on and secretary mnuchin is accommodating to demands from democrats as well as i suspect some republicans, that there be oversight over this amount of money, which there was not arguably in 2008, with the last big bailout. >> let me say this, when we had our meeting on -- this is about who has the leverage. the leverage has to be balanced and that workers have a strong role. i know corporations create business. we want everyone to succeed. we work for the stock market to go up. we're all com

the congressional oversight committee announcing it will get all over dejoy on these issues. it has called for him to be suspended meantime. meanwhile they want proof. the letter says the american public has the right to know about the contact with the trump campaign and whether it is trying to help. meanwhile dejoy asked specific will you about whether he did do this. calling it a bonus it was something else meaning lie. did he pay back employees who donated to trump's campaign. >> did you pay back several of your top executives for contributing to trump's campaign by bonusing or rewarding them? >> that's an outrageous claim, sir, and i resent it. >> i'm just asking a question. >> the answer is no. >> so you did not bonus or reward any of your executives -- >> no. >> anyone that you solicited for a contribution to the trump campaign. >> no, sir. >> we're joined by the former federal prosecutor joyce vance. have you seen a case like this? is this something clearly illegal? it looks like a straw donor case or more of a jump ball? >> so this kniconduct is clearl within the real

because the congressional oversight committee -- commission, which has you know has been set up to figurenly 37 billion of the c.a.r.e.s. act fund has been spent. there's 500 billion. so a fraction of it has been doled out. >> there's all sorts of things going on here. so you've got within the c.a.r.e.s. act a main street lending program scheme set up, which is around $600 billion to try to get to medium, small businesses. you've got the ppp to target small businesses but it got blurred around the edge there's too. they've put up lots of money. the problem is the transition mechanism, getting it into people's hands that been the big challenge. it's also how this money can be used. in the end all this money was supposed to be about holding businesses steady, keeping workers in the workforce and that hasn't happened. what needs to be addressed now is to make sure that workers that are on the bumped up unemployment benefits are protected when they go back into work, but are incentivized to go back into the workforce too. but that also businesses actually have their hands on the cash and have

this would be something the congressional oversight committees and the inspector general's office will interview folks and if mr. o'brien wants to deny it, that's fine. we'll see what mr. wolf says. or others who were in the room. >> murphy's complaint says he was demoted. i want to ask you about the demotion. it describes several years of efforts by murphy to raise concerns to top dhs officials on some of this. the timing may look like it has to do with his demotion rather than urgent sense of manipulated intel. >> as you mentioned, ryan murphy has been filing complaints and making protected disclosures for two years, well before this demotion in july, and secondly, the motive of a whistle-blower, while sometimes relevant, and could be relevant here, because there's going to be credibility issues at concern, there are conversations that ryan murphy details where he had with senior officials so i have no problem with his credibility being on the line and if his motive wants to be questioned, that's fine, but if there are other witnesses to that, and they support him, then the motivatio

release the intelligence community from fulfilling its legal requirements to respond to congressional oversight committees." for more i'm joined by elizabeth gotin, the co-director of the liberty and national security program at the brennan center for justice. elizabeth, thanks so much for being with us. i want to play you some sound from acting department of homeland security chief chad wolf from this morning. take a listen. >> i have seen and others have seen that information leaked time and time again. so what he indicated is he's going to provide that information in those briefings to congress in a written, finished, intelligence product and continue to provide them the information that they need to do their jobs. >> doesn't dni have an obligation to take questions from kocongress and do that in person? >> yes. that's the simple answer. and there's absolutely no evidence, as you pointed out, that the committee has been responsible for leaks and, in fact, if you look em pe impeeri it's almost always intelligence branch officials who dot leaking more so than congress. this is a red herring. the actual i

we are also cooperating with the congressional oversight committee, gao, and others. pleased the federal reserve has announced plans to boost loan information on its website regarding its facilities. chair powell and i have had very productive initial meetings with members of the oversight committee, and we look forward to continuing to work with them. thank you very much. chairwoman waters: thank you. chair powell, you are now recognized for five minutes to present your oral testimony. chairwoman waters, ranking member mchenry, thank you for the opportunity to specify today to discuss the extraordinary challenges our nation is facing and the steps we are taking to address them. we meet as the pandemic continues to cause tremendous hardship, taking lives and livelihood, both at home and around the world. this is a global outlook health crisis and we remain grateful to our health-care professionals for providing the most important response, to the essential workers who meet our daily needs. these people put themselves at risk day after day in service to the country. th

continue but also that he abets and so this is where the members of the congress and the congressional oversight committees i hear some of them are speaking up somewhat, they should be outraged of mr. trump's removal of the individuals that the american people count on who are going to stop the politicians and the crooked individuals from carrying out their deeds. >> you know, director brennan, i know this is so different from september 11th but in terms of the kind of questions that the public will have certainly when this is over about what the president knew and when he knew it and there's very clear echo to 9/11. i was in the white house in terms of binn laden's intention and desire to strike america. susan rice corrected me, what are the questions that hang around what the president knew and when he knew in terms of the deadly threat that coronavirus represented? >> well, i think as we all agree we need to focus on the task at hand which is to defeat the coronavirus but we need to take a fresh look at what happened, what traps pierd within the government. it sounds like there were government that ques

but the congressional oversight committee has said that the loan is suspect because, "a," the companyional security. so a lot of questions about the 7 hundred million dollars loan given out by the treasury department this summer. >> $700 million is a lot of money. cnbc's joumanna bercetche, live from london, thank you for being here. always great to talk with you. >>> unfortunately we are here on friday still talking about a relief bill for millions of americans that is not finished, congress is still stuck. that's the only thing that matters heading in to the christmas holiday. thank you all for getting up with us "way too early" on this friday morning. don't go anywhere. "morning joe" starts right now. >>> we need to send them back because the republican majority could be the last line of defense to preserve all we have done to defend this nation, revive our economy and preserve the god-given liberties we hold dear. we need to hold the line, georgia. >> oh -- >> wait. i'm confused. >> what he said the last line of defense was just -- >> right. >> well, there's no other line of defen

they put together a congressional oversight committee that only oversees the $500 billion of big corporate money. that congressional oversight committee as part of c.a.r.e.s. doesn't touch ppp. if they don't like what's happening, it is time to change the rules. the as unfair. >> thank you for the jersey clarity. since you're out there, how does it feel out there on a scale of zero, normal, to ten, pandemic? >> reporter: well, listen, if this were normal, this boardwalk would be packed with people. music would be pumping. i assure you, i wouldn't be wearing a blazer and a sweater. today is a very big day here in new jersey. the governor this morning was right here on this boardwalk, announcing we're moving to phase two. all retail and restaurants can be serving outside. i can tell you, the restaurants just behind me just opened up. within minutes, there are people socially distanced, wearing masks, following the rules out there eating. it is essential. pau these coastal communities need the business. they have two, three months to make their dough. come september, they won't have any busin

. >>> i want to bring in barat, a member of the congressional oversight committee and one of the authors behind that report detailing how the treasury department has been handling the relief money. your commission just came out with a report. what is the most important thing you found? >> i think one critical point is that, yes, it's true that very little of the money has been spent so far in these lending facilities. but already the mere announcement the treasury and fed plan to use the money in particular ways has had a huge effect on the market. the stock market since the day of the announcement back on april 9th has gone up. it's back to basically where it was at the beginning of march. and the cost of borrowing for big corporations has gone way down since that announcement has come out. so what i think you're seeing is that so far the program is working very well for big companies and for big-time investors. who it's not working very well for, so far, is smaller businesses and for state and local governments that we're supposed to be able to borrow from the fed as well. >> isn't tha

and through the congressional oversight committee that i hope katie porter is going to be on, we canre we are holding secretary mnuchin accountable to these principles in the aviation portion of the bill and can be applied in the $450, almost a half trillion dollars allocated to the rest of america to get people help right away. and so the american public should know that that help is coming, all you have to do is call for it. >> all right. i'm watching my clock here. here's what i'd love to do. i'd love to squeeze in one more commercial break. sara nelson, i would like to just let you go off into your evening because i have some politics i'd like to talk with congresswoman porter after this break. she's endorsed elizabeth warren in the presidential campaign. i want to find out if she's ready to make a change in that endorsement. and maybe some little question or two about the vice presidential nomination. congresswoman porter, can you stay for that now that you know what's coming? >> yes. >> okay. great. sara, thank you very much for joining us, sara. we really appreciate it. >> tha

the event secretary robert gates congressional oversight committee and members of the obama administration all agree the nsc was too large and too operationally focused. in 2015ost reported from the clinton administration to the obama administration's second term, the nsc's staff had quadrupled in size to nearly 400 people. that is why trump administration began streamlining the staff in 2017. you can read that thewashingtonpost.com. the daniel and alabama. caller: good morning, thank you for taking my call. i have advice for the general public and the sensationalist media. when protecting against hiv, we assume that every patient has hiv, so we are careful around bodily fluids. similarly, because there is a 10 to 14 incubation period where we are not showing any symptoms, we need to assume that we are already infected, and then take actions accordingly to avoid touching others such as staying six feet away and so forth, washing hands. assume one key advice, that you already have it and you are not showing symptoms, and stay away from others so you do not spread it, if in fact, it turns ou

and there is still no chair appointed to the congressional oversight committee. where do we stand on this because every single day, another story crosses about really questionable money given out to businesses that don't make a whole lot of sense. >> well, the legislation that came over to the house yesterday was from the senate, and they would not put oversight provisions in the bill. and our proposal, we have provisions to -- for the data to be revealed and be carved out of 25% for small businesses, 10 employees and under. they wouldn't go to that place. the republicans in the house would not give us unanimous consent to add that to the bill. they also stood in the way of us having a truth bill when we did ppp before. when we extended the period. and they stood in the way of our getting that. but it is in the heroes legislation, the need for the data. a couple of days ago in the financial services committee hearing, the chair of the small business committee held the secretary of treasury accountable, and he said he would give us some data by friday. but they've

the office of the director of national intelligence informed congressional oversight committees that it will no longer be briefing in person on election security issues. do you think that the dni should continue or his aids should continue to give those briefings? >> well, they will in a written form, and they're not doing it in person because of the leaks apparently. listen, i have been on top of russian interference well before 2016 as chairman of foreign relations. we held three hearings on the way russia tries to destabilize the election system of countries around the world. that's what they have done su succe successfully because they were aided and abetted by people like adam schiff. >> you just said because of leaks. my question for you is, first of all, members of the committee, people who sit on the intelligence committee dispute that they leak. but secondly, why logically would having an all written briefing -- >> surprise. >> why would having an all written briefing do anything to stop leaks? wouldn't it make it easier if you have something on paper. >> listen, i sit durin

he spoke before the congressional oversight committee for about an hour. >> this hearing will come to order. welcome to the third hearing of the oversight commission. i welcome the secretary treasury back. the commission was created by the cares act to provide oversight for temporary emergency lending of the cares act. ction 40003 authorized the treasury to spend up to 500 billion on loans, loan guarantees and other investments and provided chit to states and municipalities related to losses as a result of the coronavirus end quote. we will focus on the treasury loan program. it provided treasury with 17 billion and make loan guarantees for making national security. today treasury has made loans to 11 companies. 700 million of that went to a single trucking company. and our sole witness is the reasury secretary, secretary secretary mnuchin and we invited the department of defense to participate. the defense department responded that it is unable to come to this hearing and we will have a teleconference. d.o.d. is currently resisting making public the official and the commission urges

wide reporting on usa spending and updates to congress we're also cooperating with the congressional oversight committee, gao and others. we are pleased that the federal reserve has announced plans to boost loan information on its website regarding its facilities chair powell and i have had very productive initial meetings with four members of the oversight committee and we look forward to continuing to work with them thank you very much. >> thank you chair powell, you are now recognized for five minutes to present your oral testimony. >> chairwoman waters, ranking mcmchenry and other members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today to discuss the extraordinary challenges our nation is facing and the steps we're taking to address them we meet as the pandemic continues to cause tremendous hardship taking lives at home and arnold the world this is a global public health crisis and we're grateful to the health care professionals and to our essential workers who help us meet our daily needs. these dedicated people put themselves at risk and service to our country beginning in march t

when this thing was designed, congress could have said, and let's make sure congressional oversight committee, looks at all of this. but right now, there is no oversight committee, is there? >> that's correct. the oversight commission that i'm on does not have oversight authority over this money. to go back to what you said earlier, you're right. this is an outrageous lack of transparency. this is information that has always been disclosed as part of sba programs on the form that ppp borrowers filled out to ask for money. it said very clearly their name and loan amount would be disclosed in early april. the administration said they would disclose this money, and so this reversal is really concerning because it indicates that perhaps something happens in the disbursal of that money that caused the administration to want to keep this information hidden. >> but isn't it more than that? two weeks ago, secretary mnuchin said, any loan under 2 million, the treasury department doesn't have the bandwidth to pursue in the event there's fraud. a, that makes no sense, but, b, the other option would be,

the office of the director of national intelligence informed congressional oversight committees that it will not longer be briefing in person on election security issues. do you think the dni should continue or his aides should continue to give those briefings? >> well, they will in written form, and they're not doing it in person because of the leaks, apparently. i've been on top of russian interference in elections well before 2016. as chairman of the european subcommittee on foreign relations, three hearings on the way russia tries to destabilize the election systems of countries around the world. >> i know that. i want to get to that, but -- >> -- because they were aided and abetted by people like adam schiff, democrats and the mainstream media. but they can't real -- they have very difficult time influencing elections. >> let's focus on the issue at hand, which is the dni briefing. you just said because of leaks. my question for you is, first of all, members of the committee, people who said on the intelligence committees dispute they leak. secondly, why logically would having a

we are also cooperating with the congressional oversight committee, the gao and others. we are pleased to federal reserve has announced plans on its website regarding its facilities. the chair and i have had a very productive meetings with board members of the oversight committee and we look forward to continuing to work with them. thank you very much. >> chair powell you are recognized tare recognizedto pr. >> members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today to discuss the extraordinary challenges the nation is facing into th and ths we are taking to address them. we need as the pandemic continues in this hardship taking the livelihoods both at home and around the world. this is a global public health crisis and we remain grateful to the health care professionals for the delivery of the most important response into to the essential workers at hopeless meet our daily needs. we have dedicated people to put themselves at risk day after day and to serve the country. beginning in march, the virus and controlling its spread had the declining economic a

. >> this month, a democratic congressional house oversight committee, lack of leadership from the trumpis forcing local governments, states, and hospitals to compete for scarce supplies. >> it's not just n95s. it's everything. we really need the president to fully invoke the defense production act. so he can mass produce the things that will keep us safe. and, to this point, he has refused to do so. >> the department of health and human services disputes that account. telling cnn it has moved with deliberate and determined speed to ensure we secured supplies and equipment needed by front line u.s. healthcare workers. hhs listed 19 companies that have received orders under the defense production act, or dpa, to acquire emergency supplies, including 600 million n95 masks but experts say it's not enough, and it started far too late. only half of the masks ordered will be delivered by the end of this year. >> this is going to be a really serious, serious, and persistent challenge for the united states for several months, if not longer. >> says the trump administration hasn't used the full p

>> well, first of all, i think it's a legitimate exercise in congressional oversight. the committee made a request for that information, and i'm somewhat surprised, actually very disappointed, that the white house hasn't been as responsive, but maybe i guess i shouldn't be surprise. secondly, i think it's important though. i do think that notwithstanding whether or not they don't quite have the machines that everyone thinks they should, have i think there's an issue that we ought to put out in the public right now, and that is regardless of whether they get more machines or not, we're probably not going to know, unless one -- we probably won't know the election returns that night, and the president has consistently suggested that delay means fraud. no, it has nothing to do with fraud. we're going to need days if not weeks to count an unprecedented number of an sentee ballots, and certainly the post office has the capacity to do that if we give them the time and quit misconstruing delay as fraud because we'll get it done. it's better that we do it right than do it quick. >> the presi
