in space or it is in the broader efforts we are doing as an agency it is clear we are, as a nation, competing in the information environment. we think at nga we have quite a bit to contribute to that. in some instances i think it is an effort to declassified but we also need to focus on how we can publish at a level that can be released immediately and can enable decision-makers to share that information as needed. in terms of our partners we maintain good form relationships with a number of allied partners and the vast majority of production we provide is at a releasable level. both at the i5 levels and others. we think we have a huge role in not only being prepared to declassify as needed but produce at a declassified level. >> this has a tremendous impact on dod. sadly, the fiscal year is set. congress could move it to december 31st which would say dod months and backlog. i think the area of space is more particularly impacted by the resolutions to give anyone on the panel to try give us additional fodder on the evils and effects in your area of continuous resolutions. >> i would say from the aspect of speaking of the s

narrator: today numerous agencies are coordinating research into tortoise behavior and the relationship between the tortoise and its environment. lovich: this is a male, so it wouldn't surprise me that he made a spectacular movement. narrator: this study is being conducted on a wind farm just outside of palm springs, california. tortoises spend much of their time in burrows and may use more than one burrow. woman: the head of the tortoise. do you see the head? narrator: radio transmitters, harmless to the tortoise, are attached for tracking. this allows biologists to study their reproduction and behavior in an effort to better understand what the tortoise needs to survive. lovich: many of these tortoises have been recaptured repeatedly since 1997, so we know that our techniques aren't contributing to any kind of problems. narrator: this project includes taking x-rays, which allows biologists to study reproduction rates. lovich: finished. the typical clutch size here at this site is about 4 eggs. we've had some tortoises produce as many as 8 in a single clutch, and they can produce up to 12 eggs a year in 3 clutches. narrator:

it's in space or in the broader efforts we are doing as an agency, it is clear that we as a nation are competing in the information environment on a daily basis i believe we have a big role and a bit to contribute to that. i think it is an effort to declassified but i think we need to be focused on how can we publish at a level that can be released immediately. how can we enable policymakers and decision-makers to share that information as needed? in terms of our partners, we maintain good relationships with a number of allied partners. the vast majority of the production we provide is at a releasable level. our five eye level and some of the other levels. every step we take is a recognition and feeding this environment and we have a huge role and not only being able to declassify as needed but to produce and collect at an unclassified level to support our policymakers. >> last question: revolutions have a tremendous effect on dod and all of our operations across our agent these. sadly, the fiscal year is set. congress could move it to december 31 which i think would save us three months of back work. i have been an advocate

it's not that the department of the environment is unique in feeling that. but we're a city agencyand we would like to see that the city can help us have some security so we're not worrying about laying people off when a grant ends or when a work order drys up. if all we solve is that, we're not going to make the progress on our action goals. we need to figure out how to get real money into climate action and i think dan flanagan is a wonderful example in prop-e, how he and the community who were interested figured out a way to go to the voters to raise funds to fund something very important to san francisco residents. now, in order to go before the voters, there's a lot more analysis that has to happen and we don't have the funds to create that analysis. to do that, bringing together the great minds of the legal experts, the financial experts, the people who -- the community members who want to shape and craft how we spend money. i have been talking with my fellow city agencies who are also thinking about going before the voters. there are ways we need to work together but we need

participants of research and technology environment and is there anything we can do to enhance those efforts? >> talking about my vision when i came to the agency which is focused on accessibility and inclusivity. i see ideas across the nation and every part of our nation the ideas that we have that we create every day domestically is fantastic how do we tap into the potential of ideas and talent how do we make it possible so he can create industries of the future? we might have the impact we desire to have a not only with those programs to have that effect to ensure we do much moree in terms of specific technology focus area but i would like to see we have talent as part of the mainstream activities pushing forward into the future at the same time i would like to make sure that the regional innovation activators are everywhere across our nation. this is why the mainstream activities of nsf will make all of these things possible in all parts of the nation. i know we can get this done because of all the support congress is providing will provide in the future and that dramatic activities for the american jobs plan it is perfect timing for what w

it is across the federal government and agency, but the epa tells the story, where you will see the biggest difference. overall spending on the environmentdgets have declined by a third , and the epa would get $11.2 billion, a 27% increase, and they could hire 7.4% more workers over the next year. it is a dramatic change he is envisioning. emily: the president has plans to use the spending to propel cleantech. how might that affect companies like tesla? jennifer: yes, but he wants to use the power of the federal government first, its purchasing power to create more demand for electric vehicles. today, he rolled out more detail on his plan to electrify the government fleet, and is asking congress to put $7.4 billion behind that initiative, buying up electric vehicles and installing charging stations they would need over the next decade, $2.4 billion for the u.s. postal service and electrifying that space. emily: all right. jennifer, thank you so much for that update. meantime in the budget, plans for cyber. president biden allocating funds to establish an office to coordinate policies across the government and private sector. let's get mo

together, creating an ecosystem of environments this is what we need in our nation.y to and this is where i think nsf is very well positioned and unique as an agency to be able to nicely synergize this. i will leave you with the last comment. they are not on only thinking o taking ai quantum which is the future, but also working on the industries of the future. what is going to be done in ai like today in 2035 or 2050 that's what nsf makes possible.. why? cades a was an investment made at nsf for the last four or five decades. and today we are seeing the fruits of it. not only what nsf is able to advance, but also what other agencies and industries are abli toqu advance. this is what makes nsf unique yd and powerful.r a nati and we should take full advantage of such an agency and hopepotential what it can do for a nation. >> doctor, a chanc i'm out of tt i'll ask a follow up question and hopefully we'll have a nd chance to ask additional ports questions later. but if we are successful, if we support, congress supports, thee senate supports additional 50% f funding t for nsf, what i see a different result then 50% of thc research funding going to t

financial crisis investors should be vested in sectors can bet from inflationary environment we don't think 1970s but higher agencyng for a recovery abroad, do you like europe here? >> right, so for the most mart we like value cyclical over growth to be tepid don't think get rid of growth you cannot because future is digital so investors should be exposed to that, but because we think we have better growth, and slightly inflationary environment europe is perfect market to go to cheaper, and four months behind the u.s. in recovery, for the market has not recovered as quickly, so the great opportunities there, european market is mostly manufacturing and financial, exactly the sectors that benefit from higher rates and pricing power. we in earnings season companies telling us go to go raise prices are able to pass it through so with that, exactly where you want to be for anything commodities, housing industrial materials it looks like the market is telling us, be composed a little bit more to reflation than reopen so rereflationary, commodities financial works very well. . >> thoughts on policy, that is coming, we ar
