i believe strongly we should do so in berlin, i believe strongly should do so and -- i believe we should meet our commitments in every country or securities guarantee. but i do not believe that that line, in the case of a war should be drawn in those islands -- . as long as they are not essential, and my judgment -- the time of the -- -- >> duster vice president. >> i disagree agree completely with senator kennedy. i remember in a period before the korean war. south korea was supposed to be independent as well. general testified to that. and secretary action made a very famous speech at the press conference early in the year before the cream or started. indicating to the fact that south korea was to the united states. i hoped that when he made that states and we wouldn't get into a. war but it didn't mean. that we had to go in when they came in. -- the question is not been too little -- it isn't a few people who live on it. it's the principle involved. these two islands are in a area of freedom. the nationalists have these two islands. we should not support and give into the communist. w

i believe strongly we should do so in formosa and i believe we should meet our commitments to every country whose security we've guaranteed. but i do not believe that that line, in the case of the war, should be drawn on those islands but instead on the island of formosa. and as long as they are not essential to the defense of formosa, it's been my judgment ever since 1954, at the time of the eisenhower doctrine for the far east, that our line should be drawn in the sea around the island itself. mr. mcgee: mr. vice president. mr. nixon: i disagree completely with senator kennedy on this point. i remember in the period immediately before the korean war, south korea was supposed to be indefensible as well. generals testified to that. and secretary acheson made a very famous speech at the press club, early in the year that the korean war started, indicating , in effect, that south korea was beyond the defense zone of the united states. i suppose it was hoped when he made that speech that we wouldn't get into a war. but it didn't mean that. we had to go in when they came in. now i think as far

i don't believe it is. i don't believe our relative strength is increasing. and i say that not as a democratic standardbearer, but as a citizen of the united states concerned about united states. i look at cuba, 90 miles off the coast of united states. in 1957, i was in havana. i talked to the american ambassador there. he said he was the second most powerful man in cuba. and even though ambassador smith and ambassador gardner, both are public and ambassadors, both castro and marxist influences, thatof them have testified in spite of their warnings to the american government, nothing was done. our security depends on latin america. looking at the situation in latin america pekin tended with what is going on today -- content with what is going on today? in order to pick up the support of the castro supporters in brazil? at the american conference the summer, when we wanted them to join together in the denunciation of castro and the cuban communist, we couldn't even get the inter-american group to join together in denouncing castro. it was rather a vague stateme

and i believe it is a mess.roblem, and i believe that donald trump and joe biden should make a commitment, and we know it's going to be either the first question our last question in the very first debate, will you accept the election results ? and i pray to god the answer is yes. what if it's not? then god help us. barack 0bama said this just a few weeks ago, he said, "this trump administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that's what it takes to win." is there a part of you that fears, despite all your connections over decades to the republican party and republican presidential candidates, is there a part of you that believes barack 0bama is right? yes. and you should be so surprised about that? 0r put that question in a way that you — i mean, this is classic hardtalk, which is why i wanted to do this — absolutely! to me... stephen interjects. ..hold on, hold on. to me, the health of democracy is more important than any one candidate. the belief, the faith, the confidence that people have in th

i do not believe we should have either compulsory arbitration. i think the moment you give to the union on the one side and management on the other, the escape hatch of eventually going to the government, most will end up being settled by government and that will be wage control that will mean price control, all the things you do not want. i do believe we can give to the president of the united states powers in addition to what he presently has any fact finding area that would enable him to be more effective than we have been in handling these. the record in handling this has been very good during this administration. we have had less man hours lost in these last seven years then we have in the previous seven years by a great deal and i only want to say however good the record is, it couldn't be better -- in this time in the 60's, we got to move forward. all americans must move forward together and we must get cooperation between labor and management. we cannot afford stoppages when we are in the terrible competition we are in. >> senator, your co

i believe we must meet our commitments to formosa. i said more boarded in the tuscany or islands. the treaty does not include these two islands. mr. nixon suggests that the united states should go to war if these two islands are attacked. i suggest that it formosa is attacked of the past doors or the any military action in any area which indicates an attack on the pass could or's then of course the united states is at war to defend it. now i must say what mr. nixon wants to say is commit us so we can be a clear to the disagreement, he wants us to be committed to the defensive these islands merely as the defensive these islands is free territory, not as part of the defensive formosa. the admiral of the commander of the idiotically, it's not worth anything to the united states. president of the united states is indicated they're not within the treaty area. they were not within the treaty area when the tree was passed in 1955. we've attempted to persuade shank check check, this is a serious issue and i thank you out and understand completely if we disagree and if so where. >> mr. cat

and in building on this record, i believe that we have, we know the way to progress. i think first of all our own records prove that we know the way. senator kennedy has suggested he knows the way. i respect his sincerity of which he says that, but on the other hand, we look at the various programs offered, we do not seem to see anything new. they are re-treads of a program of the truman administration which proceeded. i would suggest that during the course of the evening he might indicate those areas in which this program are new. what kind of programs are we for? we are four programs that will expand educational opportunities, that will build all americans and given their equal chance for education and all of the things that are necessary and dear to the hearts for people. we are four programs that are for medical care for the aged, and they are much better handled than at the time. may i indicate that senator kennedy and i are not in disagreement as to the aim, we both want to help the old people. we want to see that they do have adequate medical care, the question

i believe that we need to go to washington, reach across the aisle and get things done and i am thaterson. thank you. >> an opening statement from republican victoria sparks. >> hello my fellow hoosiers, thank you for being with us tonight, thank you jim and think you christina, i hope we have one more debate, joe biden has two so we can do three. i know there are a lot of things happen the ho in our country, at of debates, a lot of discussions, we can disagree on a lot but whether you are republican, democrat or independent, we can agree on one thing, or government is broken, it is full of career politicians, servant specials interest in empty promises. i was not chosen by the party establishment with a candidate that is very accomplished and a business woman and assure them by the people, i have enormous appreciation for everything in this country that has given to willing to fight for you to deliver real results, i'm not looking for a job to do a job for you, i'm looking for a solid debate and discussion. >> thank you and now questions in the wake of the death of supreme court jus

i still believe that. i also believe there are elements. some people say it is about 10% on fox but i believe it is closer to 20% or more. if you have 20% of your officers engaging in patterns and practices that demonize the community, profiles the community, then we are paying the salaries of law enforcement officers that are destroying communities. many neo-nazis and white supremacist organizations have infiltrated law enforcement, so if that police officer is showing up to me, i mean no harm to anyone, and they are going to either kill, destroy, or figure out a way to destroy me, i don't think we should be funding them, and they are a liability to the american public. host: dwayne bryant joining us, book, and youhis can call us on the lines. (202) 748-8000 for the eastern and central time zones, (202) 748-8001 mountain and pacific time zones, and if you are a member of law enforcement, (202) 748-8002. you can also text a set (202) 748-8003. i'm sure there have been a lot of books and studies on this issue. what made you, and why did you

and then i believe we should indicate our desire to live at peace with the world. i hope that before we do meet, there will be preliminary agreements on those four questions, or at least two of them, or even one of them, which would warrant such a meeting. i think if we had stuck by that position last winter, we would have been in a better position in may. mr. howe: we have time for only one or two more questions before the closing statements. now walter cronkite's question for senator kennedy. mr. cronkite: senator, the charge has been made frequently that the united states for many years has been on the defensive around the world, that our policy has been one of reaction to the soviet union rather than positive action on our own. what areas do you see where the united states might take the offensive in a challenge to communism over the next four to eight years? mr. kennedy: one of the areas, and of course the most vulnerable area is i have felt, has been eastern europe. i've been critical of the administration's failure to suggest policies which would make it poss

i believe in the balance budget. the only conditions in which i would unbalance the budget is for a national emergency or serious recession. mr. nixon and mr. rockefeller in their meeting said 5% economic growth by 1962 would bring $10 billion extra. whatever is brought in we can finance programs within a balance budget. >> i think what he is referring to is not one of senator kennedy speeches. i think too it should be pointed possibleit is not either to cut the national debt or reduce taxes. it will be necessary to raise them. senator kennedy points out, as far as the one proposal is the one for medical care for the aged would be financed out of social security. he points out that he would make pay-as-you-go be the basis for our natural resurgence development. whenever you appropriate money you have to pay now and appropriate the money and while it pays out, it does not mean the government doesn't have to put up the money they share. in all these proposals they will result in one or two things. either he has to raise

>> general, you know that i do believe they are necessary. you know that i do believe at the same time, the further example of your great virtue is to believe that e pluribus unum means that a difference of opinion ought never be a difference of principle as an american and that we should continue to code join and compromise and resolve our differences. you know that i sincerely and deeply believe in that, and you know it was very difficult for me to maintain my assignment after you took your second oath of office and convene your cabinet meetings. however, general, i do believe that our creator has created a reminds free from any temporal restrained and that therefore to try and announce, or if we, will suppress the liberty of one's opinion in matters of politics, which ought to help continue to improve a, little lone, the progress of politics to improve the condition of mankind, we must be free to express, that even if it means he may be disagreeable to our fellow americans. and so therefore i think that political platforms are necessary, in

i believe in the balanced budget. d the only conditions under which i would unbalance the budget would be if there was a grave national emergency or a serious recession. otherwise, with a steady rate of economic growth -- and mr. nixon and mr. rockefeller, in their meeting set of 5% economic growth would bring by 1962 $10 billion extra in tax revenues. whatever is brought in, i think that we can finance essential programs within a balanced budget, if business remains orderly. mr. nixon: yes. i think what mr. novins was referring to was not one of senator kennedy's speeches, but the democratic platform, which did mention cutting the national debt. i think, too, that it should be pointed out that of course it is not possible, particularly under the proposals that senator kennedy has advocated, either to cut the national debt or to reduce taxes. as a matter of fact it will be necessary to raise taxes. as senator kennedy points out that as far as his one proposal is concerned -- the one for medical care for the aged -- tha

i believe we can bring these folks fighting for racial justice to the table. i have worked with police in this country for many years. i know that most cops are good, decent people. i know how they risk their lives every time they put that shield on and go out the door. and i am confident that i can bring the police to the table as well. i would make sure that every mayor and governor had the support they needed from the federal government. but, i would not be looking to use the united states military against their own people. if i were president, my language would be less divisive. i would be looking to lower the temperature in this country, not raise it. i would be looking to unite the nation. but look, if donald trump wants to ask the question of who will keep you safer as president? let's ask that question. first, some simple facts. when i was vice president, violent crime fell 15% in this country. we did it without chaos and disorder. and yes, we did it with democratic mayors in most of the major cities in this country. the murder rate is up under -- up 26

i believe it is possible to fix. hope that by me speaking out today, and with god's help, we can start stitching this wound in america, and stop just putting band-aids on it. breonna taylor mattered. black lives matter. thank you. >> thank you very much for your testimony, chair napier you are now recognized for your testimony. >> good morning, i appreciate the opportunity to appear before the subcommittee this morning. i thank you for that, my name is martin napier i am the sheriff in arizona. the law enforcement profession shares the concern that any bad actors may infiltrate its ranks. moreover, we set share community outrage of conduct a very few members of our profession when they act out with violence in racial animist. however these are the actions of a very few members of law enforcement. every day, and communities large and small, thousands of law enforcement officers make over 1 million contacts with the problem that result in no use of force. or give rise to the appearance of any racial bias. in point of f

no, i believe that that would be the case. i mean, i think that here, you know, when you're dealing with the rent board, these units are subject to rent control and there's significant evidence that they are. i think that this is just maybe another level of security. >> okay, thank you. i will just say to the commission that i am still not convinced this is a good idea because it feels like will beginning -- we're setting a precedent here and i'm reluctant to do that without a lot more thought about what the consequences are of doing this. with the exception of the rent control condition, i am otherwise in favor of taking d.r. and subject to all of the conditions that mr. winslow laid out. >> if i might suggest a compromise position. you could als

i believe they now refer to it as arlington. i hope it's not forgotten because that is one of the three where the british actually surrendered. i think they lost about 25 souls that day, but overall amongst the three villages, 500 british lost their lives. i was here at monticello. i started on my way to williamsburg. from williamsburg i was then going to journey to philadelphia for the second continental congress. i had been very much, at that time, and the spring of 75, considering to remain an englishman. i was proud of it. i did not care for independency. i desire to continue dependency. great britain provided us safety and defensive, particularly on the frontier. but, it was that day in april of 1775 which i will never forget. you cut all the sense and the concerns for reconciliation and in its place caused a frenzy of revenge which was seized by all ranks of the people. that was the day, if you will, that i decided to cross the rubicon. i think so many of us as well decided here in virginia we would ally ourselves further w

>> i believe you are muted. >> we can hear you now. >> okay. and for some reason it's having a problem. i want to congratulate all the businesses. i have spent many an hour at farley's and two of the businesses are 80 year old and cruising to another 20 for 100 years old and the gentleman who spoke about the lgbt and the comment about the sacred duty to doing this work could sum up everybody's responsibilities and feelings about their own businesses as they present to us, and i heartily endorse all of these. i will certainly vote to approve them. >> clerk: i apologize to interrupt. we have a late request for public comment and should take that caller. >> go ahead, caller. is the member of the public prepared to submit your testimony? you should mute the television or computer. there is a delayed broadcast. >> hello? >> a yes, i run val de cole. >> can you hear me? >> yes, we can hear you, sir. >> should i speak about the store or what should i say? >> this is your opportunity to address any of the legacy business applications. ed you have less t

i believe we already possess it. what we are demanding is that the right to vote be guaranteed and protected. well it's fascinating that , you say that. i would definitely agree that women are people. you obviously believe this to the point that in 1872 you voted rochester, new york election. i know this because the national archives at new york city actually has a copy of that arrest record as well as your conviction. can you tell me a little bit about your arrest and the trial that followed? a scene,it was quite as you might imagine but i was , hoping to gather publicity for the cause when i went to , register to vote, the young man at the barbershop who were in charge of the registration work, when i arrive for some of my neighbors in sisters asked me what made me think i had the right to vote. i said i read the constitution. i thought well, i seem to have a point there. they could not go against the constitution. so they allowed me to register, not supposing i would dare to go vote. they did not know who they were

you know i sincerely believe in that. you know it was very difficult for me to maintain my silence after you took your second oath of office and convened your cabinet meetings. however, general, i do believe that our creator has created our minds free and free he desires it to remain incapable of any temporal restraint. therefore, to try and denounce the will, suppress the liberty of one's opinion in matters of politics, which ought to help continue to improve us, let alone the progress of politics to improve the condition of mankind, we must be free to express that, even if it means it may be disagreeable to our fellow american. so therefore i think that political platforms are necessary, and in our nation there has never been a greater opportunity in human history they can reign free, not as monarchy but reign freely on behalf of the people. that represents a people, when they have that liberty to express their concerns, particularly for that government in whose hands they are entrusted to hold the rains. the raines. the

i believe it is oewd.org/constructionmitigation and i believe that owed.org/vannecessary. there is supporting business documentation that should not be hard for folks to pull together. >> supervisor peskin: thank you very much. that was super helpful and important. back to you, sir. >> thank you. so she has been helping -- got a lot of things on her plate, including the ongoing outreach process. we're publishing a forecast to help people know what construction will be close to them and what work is going on. >> supervisor peskin: if i can say, peter, on that, i read those every friday afternoon religiously. but the one thing it doesn't have in that e-mail is what you're actually presenting here which is the final substantial completion is estimated to be the fall of 2021 and that -- it's good insofar as it tells people along the corridor what to expect next week and the week after, but it would be helpful -- i think i said this in other hearings -- if that e-mail could also say, by the way, you know, if you can slog through for one more year, we will be done-done and you'l

i believe your pandemic called it to be rescheduled. thoroughly enjoyed that book and made it very helpful been very difficult times we are in currently. i did want to ask you about john loose his relationship with james baldwin. i had read Ãband i saw in that book there was no mention of john lewis and i wondered if you could talk about what his relationship was like with james baldwin or what their relationship was like. >> sure. i'm doing a virtual event for the library to fill in when i didn't come before so it's coming, you will get more of me than you can possibly watch. you might want to turn this off now, c-span wouldn't like me to say that but i'm delighted to do that. i'm not aware, eddie would know better, eddie usually knows better than i do whether there was any personal relationship, baldwin knew medgar evers pretty well, they were certainly in the same ethos, the same orbits. where i see them as connected is less personally and more philosophically. baldwin couldn't really write about sentence. he wrote something that i t

i wouldn't have believed it.d to be a part of this campaign and glad to be, you know, obviously listening and able to be helpful within this issue of electing joe biden. but let me say, if i may, first. i pray for the community of louisville right now. this is a perfect example of why it's so necessary to listen to our communities, listen to people of color, of different people that are different, people that are the same. we have got to -- we have to sit down now and really try to mend this. and joe biden's the one person that can do that. >> in announcing the endorsement of biden, you wrote, quote, there's only one candidate in this race who stands up for our values as a nation, and that is joe biden. what values are you talking about? because obviously you're a longtime republican. i know you disagree with joe biden on a number of things. what values does he stand up for that you support? >> well, integrity, character, courage, empathy. you know, things that make a person a good president. it's been -- for me

>> i don't like being told how to think or what to believe just because i am gay and a lot of that comes from the left even outside of that with peer politics and peer policy there is a push for illegal immigration that has been documented to these communities the most. black americans are always left last. but also as a gay man. it was devastating and mortifying and i expected for the left to have my back and defend me but they did the exact opposite. i would not call myself conservative or republican in any capacity but i saw the response to this terrific on - - horrific act of terror perpetrated on gay and lesbian americans and i need to look more strongly into this because i feel like the left sometimes is so into being politically correct that they missed out on the rights of interest on the american people. >> how did you join turning point usa and what is the goal? >> they found me on instagram. when i decided to come out as an conservative there was a lot of press and i basically started making videos to say how i really felt about the situation. at that point in time at turning

do believe care i've spoken with her many jobs and i do believe her believe it's a very terrible situation. and that and i have no idea. it's and it is just like me no one wanted me there back in 99 or 98 getting me to change anything then if this kind of a cloud is hanging over presidential candidates in 2020 meter is there actually believe that meat ad was never a part of me to meet your wanted nothing with the clinton victims and i experiment that they turned their backs on so many other conservatives women in me and that that talked about sexual assaults i think me too strictly a political organization for liberals. and and that's why me too is we nigel act in a way to be somehow pro by maris even though i should say rose mcgowan comes on this show and says. actually that me too has been hijacked by different forces. i actually believe there was some of my far worse to show doubts at one of the tirana. oh probably back in 200-6007 asked why not some were big boobs you know when they were taken in. ok obviously members the me to move on to say

that this points prepared to sanction countries like france germany and the united kingdom well i don't believe and i hope it won't come to that i believe that france and germany and other nations that are very close to the united states will sit down with president trump and we'll discuss this issue and hopefully support the position of the united states any leader of any country will be looking out for the best interests of their people their national security and therein lies the platform on which president trump has consistently stood on he's looking out for the best interest of the american people that is his job they will look out for the best interests of their people and hopefully president trump will be able to negotiate with them and bring them on board he doesn't like nothing ever negotiation though if you're saying that they're one saying france germany the u.k. to agree with america an adult it's position well it's either side where the highway and i. well well well well not not we're going to tell you what maybe maybe not but i believe that at the end that if they do you side with

i do not believe the people of this nation will stand for it. president trump has already made it clear this is about power. pure and simple. power. the voters should make it clear on this issue, as so many others , the power in this nation resides with them, the american people, the voters. even if president trump wants to put forward a name now, the senate should not act until after the american people select their next president. then next congress. congress.ext their next senate. the senate should move on donald trump's election and weigh the nominee he chooses fairly. if i win this election, president trump's nominee should be withdrawn. as a new president, i should be the one who nominates justice ginsburg's successor. the nomination should get a fair hearing in the senate before a confirmation hearing -- vote, after a confirmation hearing. we are in the middle of a pandemic. we are probably passing 200,000 deaths to this virus. lost tens of millions of americans are unemployed. health care in the country hangs in the balance before the co

i believe in the liberation theology. that's the context of which i come. so, that's what i tried to promulgate. >> and interesting discussion was that we talked about the text in the context of people's lives. some people wanted to talk more about the context of people's lives. we had a very long discussion about that. some say no, we are here for the text. what are your thoughts on that? >> i think it has to be a combination. i don't think that literalist studying the tax without context without making some applications this text will not serve us. the bible is not merely a history lesson. and when it is looked at like that, that allows us to not think that we have to act out what the bible is asking us to act. it is almost apart from us. which outside of us. but the word of god is going to be within us. and we are supposed to plan our lives and actions based on the truth and the heroes within the bible. now, if a hero does something that is not godlike. you know, we are not to replicate that just because it's in the bible. the text has to be challenged.

i still believe that. i also believe there are elements.ople say it is about 10% on fox but i believe it is closer to 20% or more. if you have 20% of your officers engaging in patterns and practices that demonize the community, profiles the community, then we are paying the salaries of law enforcement officers that are destroying communities. many neo-nazis and white supremacist organizations have infiltrated law enforcement, so if that police officer is showing up to me, i mean no harm to anyone, and they are going to either kill, destroy, or figure out a way to destroy me, i don't think we should be funding them, and they are a liability to the american public. host: dwayne bryant joining us, book, and youhis can call us on the lines. (202) 748-8000 for the eastern and central time zones, (202) 748-8001 mountain and pacific time zones, and if you are a member of law enforcement, (202) 748-8002. you can also text a set (202) 748-8003. i'm sure there have been a lot of books and studies on this issue. what made you, and why did you want to

[applause] i believe in righteousness and justice and i don't believe in fighting for justice alone butre must be righteous and i believe in fighting for righteousness alone and there must be justice. i believe in the economic ability of this man to accomplish economics for all people but black people as well and he is proven and i believe that his record is proven and if we compare it to 47 years of nothing and i shouldn't say nothingness but i should say destruction. if you have to prove a history i have three years of history that is an opportunity zone. you have education opportunity and you have prison reform and i believe in police being reformed and not eliminated. ... he's going to keep his word. [applause] god bless you. [applause] [cheering] >> i fully support and expect donald j trump to be the next president of the united states. [cheering] i know a bit about his background, one of the greatest revivals we know in history came from those islands. they are noted for his calvinism. calvinism says there's a manifest destiny over your life. this man and his forefathers had said

i don't believe in filtering, i don't believe in trickle-down economics. but i believe that the funding question has become so opaque to the public that we need to have a more intelligent conversation about rhna allocations and about how much of our funding for subsidized housing is unfortunately currently determined by market-rate high-end luxury housing. before we can have a meaningful conversation about how to change that. and so i really hope that people think about how we change that. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next caller, please. >> madam clerk, that completes the queue. >> clerk: thank you. mr. president. >> president yee: thank you. thank you for the comments. seeing no other speakers, public comment is now closed. okay, madam clerk, let's call the reference in item 16 through 19. >> clerk: item 16 through 19 were introduced for adoption without committee reference, a unanimous vote is required for adoption of resolutions today on first reading. any supervisor may require a resolution on first reading to go to committee. >>

no, i believe that that would be the case. i mean, i think that here, you know, when you're dealing with the rent board, these units are subject to rent control and there's significant evidence that they are. i think that this is just maybe another level of security. >> okay, thank you. i will just say to the commission that i am still not convinced this is a good idea because it feels like will beginning -- we're setting a precedent here and i'm reluctant to do that without a lot more thought about what the consequences are of doing this. with the exception of the rent control condition, i am otherwise in favor of taking d.r. and subject to all of the conditions that mr. winslow laid out. >> if i might suggest a compromise position. you could also include the rent control as -- in the findings as part of the discussion in the findings here, instead of making it condition of approval. we have done that in the past for similar situations where the commission was interested in imposing something but didn't feel that it quite rose

i believe we must meet our commitment. i support it. that is the present american position. the treaty is not include these two islands. mr. nixon suggests the united states should go to war if these two islands are attacked. that if there is any military action in any area which indicates an attack, then of course, the united states can defend itself. he wants us to be committed to the defense of these islands merely as a defense of these islands, not as part of the defense. the commander of the idiotically has said that these islands are not worth the bones of a single american. the president of united states has indicated they are not within the treaty area, they were not within a treaty area when the tree was passed. we have intended to persuade shanghai in january of 1959. issue and weious also understand completely if we disagree and if so, where? >> the next question is for senator kennedy. >> senator kennedy, last week he said that before we should hold another summit conference, but it was important that the united states feel its strength. modern weapons take quite

no, i believe that that would be the case. i mean, i think that here, you know, when you're dealing with the rent board, these units are subject to rent control and there's significant evidence that they are. i think that this is just maybe another level of security. >> okay, thank you. i will just say to the commission that i am still not convinced this is a good idea because it feels like will beginning -- we're setting a precedent here and i'm reluctant to do that without a lot more thought about what the consequences are of doing this. with the exception of the rent control condition, i am otherwise in favor of taking d.r. and subject to all of the conditions that mr. winslow laid out. >> if i might suggest a compromise position. you could also include the rent control as -- in the findings as part of the discussion in the findings here, instead of making it condition of approval. we have done that in the past for similar situations where the commission was interested in imposing something but didn't feel that it quite rose

i believe we can both prosper. freight railroads are making an important contribution to our economy broadly and so does amtrak. so i think if we could have standards and metrics in place, clarify the ground rules there, obtain the right of private action, i believe we can sit down with the class 1 railroads and absolutely work out a situation that will work to an operating profile that allows for high quality on time operations for both our passenger operations and our host railroads freight operations. >> mr. flynn, thank you very much for taking the time to be here and please pass along our thanks to amtrak employees for their frontline workers and being out there and god bless them and stay safe and healthy. mr. chairman, i yield back my remaining time. >> thank you. >> the chair will now recognize mr. lowenthal for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chair, and to all and to the ranking member and thank you to all of the panelists on this very interesting issue on talking about amtrak and future of amtrak. i'd like

do i believe gold prices will go higher the answer is yes. equivocate a little in the time frame i will say we are in a perfect storm for precious metal prices going to higher levels the height of gold price is what occurred in 1980 i believe it was $820 an ounce it sounds inconsistent in adjusted dollars that puts the gold price at $2,700 to $2,800 an ounce. i certainly think the gold price has not reached its peak and will reach the adjusted height of 1980. >> two final questions for you to what extend will the gold price be core related to the fed policy going forward and what happens to the gold price if and when we get a vaccine? >> first of all, the when we get a vaccine is important but in addition to that is the implementation we are talking billions of people in the world. this will take time. independently to that, it seems the cake is already baked in many respects. we have unprecedented levels of fiscal and monetary stimulus this is sort of like a drug. once one is on it, it is very difficult to get off it. given that level of sti
