cline: great.s you know, lengthily -- langley research center in virginia is the home of some of nasa's most important r&d programs that been developing and testing innovative new aircraft structures and propulsion technology. last year, congress included direction in the house and senate, nasa authorization bills, as well as in the fy 21 on the bus to move forward on a new national subsonic s plane flight demonstrated to develop technologies developed by langley and industry partners. can you share the latest on the subsonic x plane program and nasa's role in this? we lost your sound there. mr. nelson: we are talking about subsonic, not supersonic? rep. cline: correct. mr. nelson: and specifically, are you talking about the x057, -- x-57, which is the electric airplane? rep. cline: no, the subsonic x plane flight demonstrator, to demonstrate the technologies developed by langley and industry partners. mr. nelson: ok. i think what you are getting at is the supersonic, which is the x-59. that is goi

fauci: i'm sorry, congressman cline, i'm not sure what you're reading from. i don't think i wrote anything in 2011. reading something that i don't have in front of me but that is something i signed? rep. cline: this was april 2020 2011. dr. fauci: i think that was from building one, not for me. rep. cline: have you responded to the letter from congressman gallagher dated may 5, dr. collins? dr. collins: there is a draft of that letter in the process of going through appropriate clearance and should be received by congressman gallagher soon. rep. cline: have you responded to the letter from house commerce ranking committee member cathy mcmorris rodgers? she has read it, one march 18 and one may 6. have you responded to either of those? dr. collins: those responses were in the works. those were very detailed with 29 questions in 11 pages and 40 footnotes, so it is taking us a little while. rep. cline: and you have a may 20 from several senators that is waiting for an answer as well. dr. collins: we do indeed come on similar topics from senator johnson and other

congressman kline -- cline. mr. cline: i want to thank our witnesses for their diligent work in developing the vaccine for covid and for working with its distribution. i want to first start my quoting from the 2011 opinion piece that dr. fauci and dr. collins wrote for the washington post. the flu virus risk we are taking, where it includes -- concludes support for this research comes a responsibility to make sure the information is used for good, safeguarding against the misuse of laboratory pathogens is imperative. the scientists, journal editors, and funding agencies are working together to ensure that access to specific information that could be used to create dangerous pathogens is limited to those with an established and legitimate need to know. so -- when i am looking at a letter that congressman mike gallagher it sent to you back in early may, it says that funding for -- was about $17 million was directed to echo health alliance -- rather than $600,000. much of that was sent to the wuhan lab. can you account

cline: it is seven -- several different recommendations but the oig report, yes. dr. collins: i am very familiar and we have worked hard with i.t. to respond to those. i think a lot of work got done that does not necessarily get reflected in that report and that we inspired actions across the board and the actual numbers are better than what you have seen. so, yes. i think all organizations are struggling, many government agencies have been around a long time and the era of cybersecurity is challenging us and we will need resources for that as well to be sure that we are doing everything we can to keep the bad actors out of our systems. rep. cline: i was pleased to find in march 2020 a report found that they checked all applications to identified instances of duplicate grant lund -- offers. the federal government does continue to grow. this dramatic increase is of great concern, and i am reminded of a quote that said "nothing so permanent as a temporary government program." can you tell us what safeguards are you putting in place? dr. collins: we have worked hard on t

cline with regard in to timber and lumber. i am hearing that constantly as i'm down in the state of alabama and the district. i understand that there is plenty of lumber that's being delivered, but the prices are continuing to go up. i think there is an issue with production. so if you could make this a priority to find out what we can do to try to -- because it is really putting a lot of folks in a very difficult position for home building and construction projects. and so in you could ask someone in your office to make that a priority, i think that's very important. >> i promise you i will. >> thank you. i yield back. >> thank you, mr. aderholt. mr. cline, you are recognized for an additional five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you, madam secretary, for going through a second round of the questions. i want to pivot to china. something you said a month ago in a white house press briefing. i am quoting you. china's actions are uncompetitive, underhanded, they will do whatever it takes so i plan to use all the tools

cline, for five minutes. mr. cline: thank you, madam speaker. i rise today to express my unwavering support for the united states greatest ally in the middle east and region's only democratcy, israel. when i visited the reasonableon, i saw firsthand the proximity of the danger israelis face on a daily basis. with the gaza strip controlled by the iranian funded terror group, hamas, rockets are always pointing at the jewish state. and it's estimated that the militant group has more than 30,000 rockets and mortars at their disposal. for the past week, israel and its people have been bombarded by more than 3,000 rockets launched from within gaza. thank goodness for the iron dome which despite being overwhelmed saved countless lives. while some on the other side of the aisle and in the media attempt to draw a moral parallel between hamas and israel, there is simply no comparison to be made. as prime minister netanyahu said, you cannot equate a democracy that values life with a terror organization that glorifies death. israel has an absolute right to

ezra cline has this great look with research from political scientists and sociologists.political political parties used to be coalitions of industries and industry groups and you can compromise. we will trade this for that but beginning with the sorting of the parties and that after the civil rights act was passed once we get these purified parties the people in the other party are -- and that wasn't so true in the 1970s let's say so our national politics has shifted to be not even about money it's been more about identity and it said trump made it much more so and biden is has done a good job of trying to go back to a more democratic focus on the economy as opposed to the culture war stuff. this is something we are seeing on campus and now it's showing up in high schools and private high schools the emphasis on identity and encouraging people to think about identity, some are bad and some are good and this is just blowing up. i would urge our audience if you see this happening now you know it's a ship identity is really bad for diverse liberal democracy. i don't know fi

democrats have particularly in states where republicans have built super -- gop congressman andrew clinelarify. here's what he had to say, or not say to our own correspondent land caldwell. >> do you stand by your statement yesterday that when you say it's a capital tour do you stand by that statement? do you remember stay saying that? five people died, including police officers, and you are here honoring that police officer. >> if you are honest in your statement -- >> what's wrong about, that's what you just said? >> think about what you said. you didn't take what i said in context. >> can you explain it? >> you didn't listen to what i said. >> that's how that went. we can always re-wreck tapes. we are back now with -- i can't believe he's a u.s. veteran gun shop owner. in the recent history of the trump party, the attempt to brush out history we all watched on live television, the most craven of all. >> it's really bad, and, an as far as we're concerned, his career as a serious individuals override. sad to say. that i know that didn't to your question, but, you know, it's pretty bad.

this is congressman andrew cline of georgia. he's new to the congress, he's a naval veteran.doug collins seat. his first day of, work the very first day he showed up, january 3rd, and three days later, on his fourth day, i guess, he was in the capital when all this happened. yesterday, this is how he described what happened that day. >> there is no insurrection, and to call it an insurrection, in my opinion, is a bold faced lie. watching the tv footage of those who entered the capitol and walked through the hall in an orderly fashion taking videos and pictures. if you didn't know the tv footage was a video from january the 6th, we would actually think it was a normal tourist visit. okay. this is now infamous combat that's given -- including the violent bloody moments of the day with the label of tourists. of course, just hours after congressman clyde make that ridiculous claim with really disturbing body cam footage, the metropolitan police officer was showing some of the most harrowing moments when he was dragged into the mob, beaten and tased.

that's when naomi cline and i helped launch this fossil fuel divestment. to portfolios. and that's helped bring so many people to understanding that these guys can't keep going on the way that they're going. exxon is still powerful but it's now on the ropes in all kinds of ways and remember it's not just that they have to cut emissions it's that as of tomorrow, they are that much less powerful on capitol hill when it comes to lobbying in state legislatures. when it comes to exerting their dominance. these things once that weakening begins and the momentum hopefully grows. now, our problem is that we have to go very very fast behind the curve. most of the sea ice in the arctic melt. it's not like this guarantees any winds. it just is an awfully good sign that people should keep fighting and keep fighting. >> bill mccabe in, environmental activist one of the founders of the grassroots climate campaign. bill, thanks for joining us. it's a huge day, thanks for helping us understand. >> thank you. >> all right we'll be right back, stay with us. ck, stay with us

were central to the decision-making back in the day, for example the deputy attorney general, richard clines not around anymore. jared wilson, police chief of washington was around and was very generous with his time in discussing with me all of the events of those days and what was behind is this decision to ultimately follow nixon's orders to do mass arrests. he maintained that he had done the job he was hired to do that day and despite the government lawsuits that were successful against the police and against the government, he didn't express regret as for doing what he thought he had to do to keep the city open that day. i think he was a man of integrity who was caught between a paranoid white house, worried white house and his desire to keep the streets from becoming violent. >> leading up to that day, while folks are camping out in washington, d.c., what was the camping experience like? thousands of people in close proximity proximity to each other. we one of them? what was it like? >> no i was not in that camera that weekend in may. it was, from all accounts, it was like a festival.

indirect as you know, have done is clarified what each sides needs to do in order to come back into clines. we know what sanctions would need to be lifted if they're inconsistent with the nuclear agreement, but as important and indeed more important, iran, i think, knows what it needs to do to come back into compliance on the nuclear side, and what we haven't seen is iran is ready to make a decision. that's the test and we don't yet have an answer. >> finally, let's talk about the north korean nuclear program. he is meeting with the south korean prime minister on friday, saying he is prepared to meet with the north koreans under the right conditions. right now the best estimates are that the north korea arsenal has doubled in the last four years. does the united states have to accept that north korea will remain a nuclear power? do we have to learn to live with a nuclear north korea? >> we don't, and we shouldn't, but let's be -- let's be honest. this is a hard problem. previous administrations, republican and democrat alike, have tried to tackle it, and no one's fully succeed to say the l
