our bill makes room for researchers not just at federal agencies but across research institutions to get to work. i believe our bill would save lives. house democrats should help us send it to the president's desk. but this bill alone will not solve the problem. it helps, but it will not solve the problem. we have to use all the tools available to us. we need to increase the number of border agent we was, particularly on the southern border. we need to give them the tool they need we ged knead to give them more drug thrs electronic surveillance in the air with need to give them more dogs to help sniff out drugs when they can. it's coming across in small amounts. here you see it. two milligrams, legal dose, for most -- lethal dose for most americans there it is compared to the penny they need more dogs at the border. they need more horses because some of that terrain is not suitable for motor vehicles. and last but not least, mr. speaker, we need to finish building the wall. i yield back. mr. johnson: could not have said it better myself, my friend. i thank you for those comments. mr.

research . the federal government estimates more than $225 billion worth of intellectual property stolen every year from china. much of it at institutions of higher learning. last year we shutdown confucius institutes institutes that are public tennessee universities to cut ties with an organization that's working for the chinese party. the state of tennessee has to remain vigilant with regard to countries and foreign entities who do not have our best interest in mind. so our administration is strengthening our vetting approach to ensure we do not spend state dollars or incentivize any company doing the work of foreign adversaries. [applause] we are doing this to protect our tennessee economy, our tax payer dollars an hour american security. now, our state will be and continue to be a destination for other c global companies who are honest brokers and we welcome them to the table good faith partnership is core to the p american spirit. and while we welcome foreign investment we also welcome individuals from other countries who have legally made america home. that is something we should always value. it has been said that americans by bi

research institutions. even though they are actively nearing that point. more federal investment developing and billing capacity at hbu's will allow us to expand our work in response to national need. in president biden's joint families and infrastructure plan, hbcu's, tribal colleges were set to receive $90 billion in investment in research and related infrastructure. this is essential. another point is to forgive the balance of the hbcu capital finance program debt for the remaining hbcu which are excluded from that forgiveness. we understand that this should not be routine. however there are numerous opportunities in the ignite hbcu excellence act, including xavier. last but not least, we as a community of institutions are still processing the cowardly acts of terror which disrupted so many hbcu's. i anticipate representation and representatives of universities will put forward funding and policy recommendations to the appropriate committees in the coming weeks. i hope the members of this committee will support these recommendations, mitigating threat and safeguardi

they're the universities the land grant institutions among santo is able to handpick researchers to you know, confirm or deny their allegations. there's the federal government that is also incredibly compliant to this corporation, even when it is caught, you know doing the wrong thing. there are courts that are very sympathetic and juries of working people even that are sympathetic to monsanto. and so i think that what you bring to light is how our ideas of corporate access how it's enabled and facilitated not just by consumer need but all of these institutional structures that you know, i would say don't step up to the challenge. yeah about those relationships. i think you said it better than i could i mean i think one of the big takeaways of the book one of the things that kept coming up over and over again, and i should be clear i started with a clean slate. i i knew that monsanto was known as kind of mon satan in fact my brother in alaska sent me this bumper sticker when i started this project that had a it just said mons satan on him. he said good luck, you know and from the very beginning i wanted to say. okay. well we know this but let's s

federal government behind it. my gosh, they have all the research labs, the access to all the great institutions, the medical institutionsthe great scientists around the world. yes, of course, we definitely need the federal government to get involved with this. i'm glad to see it. really am glad to see it. host: that is robert in alabama. national cancer institute are operating under a continuing resolution for their budget through february 18 of this month. operating at a level of $6.7 billion. you should know that the continuing resolution excludes funds of the beau biden cancer moonshot. here's more from president biden yesterday. [video clip] >> this can be an american moment that proves to ourselves and the world that we can do with a big things. we have made a norm's progress since president nixon signed into law the national cancer act and declared war on cancer. we learned cancer is not a simple disease. at that time we thought it was a single disease. there are over 200, as you all know, different types caused by different genetic mutations in ourselves. we discovered new medicines, therapies, early detection pr

about nta's lab, institution for telecommunication sciences i know it conducts research for technical issue and see using it efficiently, and it's one of the advisers for freeing up federal spectrum for commercial use. can you please speak to the importance of i.t.s. and what you envision it doing for the next three years? >> i'm glad you raise it. it's not necessarily always a well-known part of ntia and i've been learning a lot about it. it is really a national treasure. we have this lab that is based out in boulder that has capabilities, engineers, computer scientists, people who model spectrum interference and understand it, people who can do testing around spectrum and real research, and i will say, it's never been more important. i think the recent months and the kinds of conflicts we've had over spectrum have made it clear how important it is for us to have real resources to come up with a common source of truth about where there is, you know, kind of data that shows there are problems and where there isn't. so my hope is that we can really build up those capabilities, both within, you know, the spectrum team here in dc and also our lab out in colorado to do that

research. we followed that up. federal motor carrier was just the third one in all its administration. we reviewed another review of the federal highway i.t. infrastructure. we're doing to determine whether the department has instituted the proper controls over their own policies they have in place. we identified this persistent security weakness that has provided us with a path to actually compromise the department's i.d. infrastructure. >> did the federal highway administration fair better? >> we just initiated that review. it will only take about seven to ten months to complete our review. what we've found in the past is persistent weaknesses in basic things such as a lack of strong passwords, unpatched or what we consider to be software that is not updated in various operating systems. we found a lack of in krip shun and data. that's how we were able to penetrate the infrastructure. >> thank you, sir. mr. schecter, you said you've been there for three months. certainly 11 years in the city of new york. i guess i'm just -- i would like to ask you how would you -- what grade would you give yourself at this particular point? an a, b, c, d, f? how would you grade yourself yourself? >> thank you for the question. i do
