uhh, uhh, umm, enviornmental,'s biotechnology. -- is biotechnology. people want to give biotechnology a bad name, but let me tell you something. we look at how we form today with the technologies we have, including biotechnology, compared to what went on in the re light years ahead when it comes to conserving soil and waters, light years. we could not have done it without biotech. biotech lets us use less water. it lets us spray less pesticides. land andus save the keep it there. we offer to use cover crops. allows us's to do that. biotech done more for sustainability and environment than anything else. i want to conclude by saying this, to bring it back to trade. want to thank you all again for what you've done to help keep this on the mind of the president. we want to make sure that we do not harm, because we want from a 2 -- $8 billion worth of trade 23 years later, now $40 billion worth of trade because of nafta. it's been a good bill for agriculture, and we want to continue to do that, but we have to tear down the barriers around the world where

when you think about crop protection and seed technology, biotechnology has been mentioned. that's a great example of where science is driving health, environment, yield innovation to help get the farmer more out of his crop that ends up getting more out into the food value chain. great example is dow back in 2005 we created a new cunola oil called omega9 oils. since that's been introduced into the market, it's taken a billion pounds of fat out of the american diet. there's a lot of innovation that's america is bringing to agriculture that's a benefit not only for our health and nutrition around the united states but around the world. we drive innovation, resource efficiency. as we look at all the great innovation and development of these products in america, we need to look at the export. as we're growing all of this, eventually people are going to want to get paid for what they're contributing. and that means accessing a lot of markets around the world. tariffs have been mentioned quite a lot. and a i'm sure as anyone studying international trade that tends to be the fist

means all of the vehicles were driving, but also includes things like, the are interesting new biotechnology on the horizon and lots of other things. so one the one hand wanting to ensure the security of that system in someone makes a lot of sense. on the other hand, where has the government been for theen last o years? then whole infrastructure got built by commercial entities. and to be fair the commercial entities should have come years ago, anybody could a scene years ago, we all bid, that broadband was coming and digital video was coming and the business model wasn't going to work. but they built the network. don't they still have some say in monetizing that investment? you could also argue that the transition to 5g has been slow in the united states that it has been elsewhere. but all off these conversations that are not really doing is a lot ofse good. because at this point everybody has got sorted heated emotions. better to have had these conversations ten years ago. before we had to make decisions under duress. so knows what the document is? >> it will get leak in a week, say that.

it's ubiquitous availability of biotechnology today. you can do a paint by numbers instruction in the province of the nobel prize-winning scientists only decades ago. it's for those that can present a real threat. >> you mentioned the nuclear test and we followed that with great interest, but something we just don't talk about a loss that was pointed out in the "washington post" i've mentioned in my remarks is north korea acquiring different mechanical pieces that potentially could allow them to develop chemical or biological weapons. we are focused on developing weapons sierra trekking that very closely and there are a variety of export controls to which we look to limit the export and further proliferation of agents of particular concern we do have concerns about the biotechnology and the ability to innovate the agency to develop an without that kind of stock. secretary or general, what we talked about in the nationstates, we know they have a capability out there. what are some of these assessments when it comes to the various terrori

we have had issues in china, for example, biotechnology approvals. you need an import license to bring in biotech products cultivated here in the u.s. as dow and dupont we have a number of innovative products that fortunateliers are looking for because they solve real challenges. hard hards, herbicides or pesticides and earn more for literal the blood, sweat and tears going into agriculture production. we want to provide to the product's to them so they can grow more and sell to their winds customer but without the regulatory approval that's blocked and stopped innovation getting into the market. chinas has made great strides in improving that system and looking to move more approvals but we'd like to see more transparent, efficient and regular system will help all of us plan with more certainty. as any business would you want to know you're going to be -- the crop you're growing now you can sell once you have grown it. looking at regulatory barriers they can be an impediment or a great opportunity, like we're seeing in nafta. >> i was going add but

biotechnology, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, partnerships with so many institutes of research andg here in the united states. taking products to market, those linkages are important, highly valued by us. we are pivoting to becoming not just a hub to the region, we are a launching pad to the asia-pacific region in medical research, increasingly in the tech sector and the cyber security sector. we are becoming a leader. an opportunity for our partners, in an endeavor's,, our oldest injustice friends, the people and their representatives in the united states. it is a great honor for us not to just sell our wares but also to learn, and to commit ourselves to a stronger partnership looking to the future. thank you so much, governor.

kristen brown is a biotechnology journalist.r is becoming something of an obsession for many techies. we do tend to see people notjust thinking of their body as a machine but talking about it metaphorically as a machine. are they actually making any progress? it's growing so quickly right now. i mean, we understand so much more this year than we did last year even, but the other thing about science is the more questions you answer, the more questions there are. the following morning, my first stop after i skipped breakfast was geoffrey woo. he's chief executive of a firm called hvmn. it promotes fasting as a way to boost productivity and increase our health span — that is, the number of years you are fully able before the troubles of old age. geoffrey promotes the 36—hour fast that i'm on and his company sells products they claim will boost your body's reaction to fasting. so when you're extending beyond a 24—hour fast, you're dipping into a metabolic state called ketosis which converts your stored body fat into a really efficie

president's advisory council on science and technology warned that -- and i quote -- while the growth of biotechnology is a great boon for society, it also holds serious potential for destructive use by both states and technically competent individuals, unquote. i urge the u.s. government's past ways of thinking and organizing to meet biological threats -- the threat needs to change to reflect a developing landscape. for this reason it's critical that fostering and advancing innovation, particularly in the development of medical counter measures, is top of mind and that we work through this reauthorization process to ensure cdc, fda have what they need to keep pace with these rapidly changing and evolving threats. this committee has worked to push the federal government and hss in particular to meet these challenges. an hss that fosters innovation in the development of medical counter measures and across papa's framework provides the greatest hope to ensure the safety of the american people. the witnesses we have before us today will be able to provide insight into the urgency of this mission and the
