chairwoman: i recognize representative burgess for five minutes. congressman: thank you. thank you for holding this hearing. i apologize. we have another health hearing going on upstairs one of those days you have to toggle between important issues. mr. hurwitz, let me start by asking you, and this is a little bit off-topic, but it is important. in 2018, the u.s. district court for western pennsylvania indicted seven russians for conducting a physical cyber 2016ing operation in against western targets, including the u.s. anti-doping agency in response to the revelation of russians state-sponsored doping campaigns. these hackers or members of the russian military, the gru. the stolen information was publicized by the g.r.u. as part of a disinformation campaign designed to undermine the legitimate interests of the victims. information included personal medical information about u.s. athletes. fictitiouskers use -- we know hackers use fictitious identities. we are talking about largely the context of deceiving voters and consumers. the harmful potential effect is quite large

burgess: i thank the gentleman for yielding. this is -- i'm going to speak . support of s. 3 it --3201 it's critical re-authorization that's imperative to maintaining our nation's efforts to fix the opiate epidemic. in february of 2018, the drug enforcement administration used its authority, not legislative authority, but administrative authority to place nonscheduled fentanyl-like substances temporarily into schedule one for a period of two years. we are now up against that deadline and it is important that we do not let this authorization lapse. as feptal and its analogues are still and imminent threat to americans. drug enforcement administration testified before the senate judiciary committee in june of 2019 that the positive impacts and the 15 months since this administrative scheduling change were significant. prior to this action, d.e.a. observed a rapid and continuous emergence of new fentanyl-like substance each time its scheduled fentanyl-like substance into schedule 1. we really cannot return to that reality. let me just speak a little bit what that

maria: joining us michael burgess. how did you vote yesterday?> well, i voted the concurrent resolution because actually it wasn't war power's resolution it was a resolution designed to damage the president and i think that was pretty obvious, if you listen to the debate yesterday afternoon, it was on the minds of the party that freight -- brought the resolution to the floor, we got 40 minutes before it was introduced the night before, there was very little chance to debate, that in the rules committee, many of us felt for some time that, yes, congress does need to reassert its authority with regards to authorization for military force, there has not been a legitimate vote on an authorization like that since i came to congress, congress and the administrations have been operating under 2001 and 2002 authorizations, yeah, i agree with representative gaetz in that regard, this is our obligation, this is something that we should do but the bill yesterday, concurrent resolution yesterday was not and we ought to be supportive of the things that are go

diana burgess has a personal question: i have been given settled status in the uk, but without any documenteligible for free treatment? the way the uk government has decided to apply the scheme is that there is a code that you can share with releva nt code that you can share with relevant government departments, hospitals or when you are applying forjobs, to prove that you do have settled status, so you can access that code through the government website, if you have the relevant documents, that is one of the keyway eu citizens will be able to prove their right to stay here. there was a bit of debate and a lot of people wa nted a bit of debate and a lot of people wanted to have more physical documentation, physical proof, but thatis documentation, physical proof, but that is how the government chose to do it. check on the website and you will find that code you can share. talking about citizens living abroad again but not in the eu, this is some hazlewood, who lives in barbados, and she asked how it affects citizens residing overseas. passports include the eu, so will we have a stand—alone

i appreciate that mister walden and mister burgess have asked for a hearing and we should continue to investigate. we should know how to help people who need medical marijuana and how greater access to recreational marijuana will impact our communities, families and users however, expanding access to marijuana without the benefit and guidance of the facts and sound science is of grave concern. this is incredible concerning because we have an addiction crisis in montana. methamphetamines and now opioids devastate our communities and tear up our families. meth accounted for 86% of drugs, trafficking in montana in the past five years. montana has worked hard to support people fighting addiction through drug treatment courts. these courts help people get clean and get back on their feet and stay engaged in their communities. all at a fraction of the cost of incarceration. consider making any drug legal or more readily available without adequate research of this place priority, when addiction continues to ravage our country. we should focus on combating addiction, building on this committe

host: pond burgess everett, a reporter on capitol hill tweeted yesterday senate minority leader chuckchumer says majority leader mcconnell has not shown anyone his organizing resolution . this is how the proceedings would occur. at this moment, we have not seen it, but a handful of republicans have and he says he expects him to force the witness votes on tuesday. forcing votes on witnesses, that could occur on tuesday, when the proceedings begin at 1:00 p.m. eastern time. our coverage on c-span 2, gavel-to-gavel uninterrupted. schumer wants to see the text first before specifying their next move. cited the 19ll has 99 clinton impeachment rules as a precedent he would like to follow. what happened then was the impeachment managers and the clinton defense lawyers had 24 hours to make their case. following that, the senators were allowed to ask questions for 16 hours. they had to do that through the chief justice and then there was a vote to dismiss. it was not dismissed, so then they voted to subpoena witnesses. senators deliberated behind closed doors and took a final vote. then there

[video clip] >> i supported mueller looking into all things tom -- trump. i bleated -- i believe the country needed someone to resolve this. but here's what a stunning, that the impeachment managers are telling the united states senate and potentially the whole, that the biden allegations have been investigated, that's a flat untruths. has done an investigation anywhere near like the mall or investigation of the bidens. and i think they should. and when this is over, congres

and diana burgess says that she has been given settled status but without any document to prove this,nt website, so i would urge anyone who is concerned by that to look at the website. do you think there is still a degree of uncertainty among many people? eu citizens living in this country about what the future holds? possibly, but the government has put up possibly, but the government has put up lots of advice. i think there are a lot of questions for british citizens residing in the eu and what happens after the transition period. but the government has put out a campaign. there are over 2 million eu citizens who have now applied for settled status and if they have any questions, they should definitely visit the website. thank you for answering these questions. let's take a look at the business angle now of this story... susannah streeter is in high wycombe for us. over to you. yes, iam over to you. yes, i am at this origins factory, they are the largest manufacturer of bespoke aluminium windows and doors in the uk behind me. finished products here are going to be exported to countr
