all the fact-based institutions. now two years ago when i was here my fact-based institution was over here, because the other ones were yelling at us because of the way we acquire data. as you already mentioned, detentions, interrogations, surveillance. i haven't had an argument about that for two years. the other fact-based institutions are hugging us like we're long, lost relatives because they now recognize intelligence in its genuine, western democracy form is fact-based. and they see the need for intelligence to be part of this holding the ground based on fact-based view of objective reality. so i've talked a little bit about the russians, i've talked about the layer of the cake that's us. a few words on the lay yore of the cake that -- layer of the cake that that's the president and the administration. i do not have to document how distant the president is from reality. you all get that. some folks in the room who actually are good friends and i've got some professional ties to that i've talked to. we've had pr

you need institutions. you need institutions that can stand up to the vagaries, that is what courts are for. the idea that we can always rely on public sentiment to say what is most important is contrary to the historical facts. i know i am not making you happy with this answer, but it is what i genuinely believe to be true. let me give you another example. i am addressing it had on -- i am addressing it had-on. let me give you another example. i can give you an institutional example for why donald trump is the united states president. we abolished the electoral system that provided the p are reviewed. that's a system we had prior to 1968, week wiped it away in the name of democracy. as the quality of candidates improved since then? could donald trump have been elected in a smoke-filled room? except you can instruct them now? no. that is not true. that is better democracy, i am therefore it. go to the gentleman in the middle of the room. i would like that side of the panel to take the questions. >> we are j

democratic institutions remain intact.i do worry though about long-term corrosion and there is nothing, there is little that has happened over the last 16 months to make me less concerned about the longer-term corrosion. the level of polarization, partisan polarization in this country is more intense at any time. that level of polarization can kill democracies. we have seen it in other places in history and other parts of the world. give it thing that worries me is changes in public opinion. there is a lot of, those were less concerned about doldrums behavior often the fact to which of much he does is talk. it does not go beyond the twitter feed. there is growing evidence that trump talk is shaping public opinion. a number of americans now believe the media is in fact, conspiring to bring them the government. and a number of republicans are now would tolerate with support, laws to punish media redeemed to publish inadequate information has grown stunningly high. number americans that believe the elections are fraudulent an

at a smallery bank institution, we would benefit from a lot of what mr. daniels authority talked about in terms of the sharing of indicators of threats throughout the industry. as another bank identifies something, they would share it and we would automatically protects against operated there are challenges today when i talk to my service providers and asked them, are the participating. the answer is yes. are they sharing in real time the threats, the answer is often no. they have privacy requirements, all things that we all agree are valuable and essential, but from my point of view, are preventing us from receiving some of that threat intelligence that would help us to further protect the customer. >> i would like to comment on that. you can share anonymously on the portal, so it encourages your third-party processor to get in touch with me and we can work on that. we get that legal objection all we gete, a lot of times involved and we think, my name is going to be in the paper if i share -- it does not happen. we have pretty good controls around. attac

we also need to ensure the fed tailors its approach into an institution by institution basis. i'm confident you will make the critical changes need to benefit our economy and improve our financial system. i look forward to your testimony today. with that, i yield back. >> the chair now recognizes the gentlemen from michigan for one minute. >> thank you, mr. chairman and madam ranking member and mr. quarrels welcome. we appreciate your testimony today. i've been an advocate for pushing our federal government at every level to focus more attention on the struggles that america's older industrial cities, old cities and towns face, many of them that continue to be left behind even during periods of economic growth. the regional banks have done some interesting work in this space, particularly the cleveland and boston banks recently, but the philly and minneapolis banks have also focused some attention on this. what i'm interested in hearing from you are any thoughts you have about how the supervisory authority of the fed, the levers that come with that authority can be used not ju

all the fact-based institutions. two years ago when i was here my fact-based institution was over here. because she veterans were yelling at us because of the way we acquire data. you already mention. , detention, interrogations, surveillance. i haven't had an argument bolt that for two years theme fact-based institutions are hugging us like we're long-lost relatives because they recognize intelligence in the genuine western democracy form is fact based and they see the need for intelligence to be part of this holding the ground based on fact and based view of objective reality. so talk about -- about the russians and the layer of the cake, that's us. a few words on the layer of the cake that is the president and the administration. i do not have to document how distant the president off is from objective reality. you get that. some folks in the room who are good friends and i've got some professional ties to that i've talked to, and we have had presidents who lie before. we know how to handle that. we have had presi

francis collins, the director of the national institutes of health and the institute directors that are here with him today. i think the new director -- [audio difficulty] ned sharpless is here for his first appearance before the committee, and we're glad you're part of this team and look forward to the chance to visit with all of you later. but, dr. collins, glad to have your testimony right now. >> well, it's an honor to be here, mr. chairman. also with me here at the table, dr. nora -- [inaudible] at my left, your right, the director of the national institute on drug abuse. you mentioned dr. sharpless, our newbie -- [laughter] to my right. the director of the national institute for neurological diseases and stroke, next to him dr. richard hotus and over at the far end somebody you know pretty well who's in his 439th hearing or something like that, dr.ing anthony fauci, who is the director of the national institute of allergy and infectious disease. i just want to say to all of you, chairman blunt, ranking member murray and all the friends of nih here today, thank you. you have gone a

financial institutions deal with third, fourth, party risks. in addition they struggle to secure resources and talent. experience cyber professionals are in high demand. small firms turned to providers to meet those needs. there's no one size solution. a focus in three ways it can be mitigated. corporate governance, the aicpa framework and policy solutions. ultimately the board is responsible for governing the risk appetite and providing challenge. for itself protected investors and enhances the company's failure performance. banks use a risk-management model larger ones are adopting it for cyber. we consider this a best practice. regulators, investors and others want financial institutions to build cyber resiliency strategy into three lines. another challenge is understanding and communicating about their efficacy. will they develop implementation guidance there's no way to evaluate and report on effectiveness. this is subtle but significant. in response the american institute of cpas developed the cyber risk management framework. it's volunta

institution to institution basis and puts more thought into the manner which it examines. and i am certain that you will continue to benefit the economy and the benefit of the financial statement, and with that, i yield back. welcome. >> the gentleman yields back. >> welcome, we appreciate your testimony today. i have been an advocate for pushing our federal government at every level to focus more attention on the struggles that america's older industrial cities, old cities and towns face. many of them continue to be left behind and even in periods of economic growth. the regional banks have done some interesting work in this space, particularly the cleveland and boston banks recently, but the philly and the minneapolis banks have focused attention on this. what i'm interested in hearing from you are any thoughts you have about how the supervisory authority of the fed, the levers that come with that authority can be used not just for the purposes of streamlining the regulatory process, but those levers could be used in ways to increase the efficiency, the efficacy of the c

i am president of the washington institute. let me begin by thanking my good friend, marty gross, for his outstanding service and then chairman of the institute. and by congratulating jim schreiber on his election as our new chairman. i am sure that we will be going from strength to strength. five months ago i was fortunate to join with 50 of my fellow trustees on a washington institute study tour to the gulf. we traveled to riyadh and abu dhabi. we saw countries in the midst of dramatic change and we met with inspiring leaders and energized young people, women and men at every stop of course change happens in different ways and at a different pace and at a different style than it might happen elsewhere. a similar group of institute trustees visited cairo in november 2010, just two months before the revolution. that change was driven from the street. in saudi arabia change is from the top down, driven by a new generation of leadership. will it have more lasting success? time will tell. doesn't matter to america? absolutely. mos

institutions still third, fourth or fifth party risk. in addition to vendor risk most institutions struggle to secure resources and talent. experienced cyber professionals are in high demand. often small firms to to third-party providers to meet those needs. there is no one size goal solution. i will focus on three areas where we believe risk can be mitigated. corporate governance and risk management. the aicpa reporting framework and policy solutions. ultimately the board is responsible for governing risk appetite in providing credible challenge to management. by doing so boards will protect investors and enhance the company's value and performance. banks use a three lines defense risk model. the larger ones are adopting this model for cyber. we consider this a best practice. increasingly regulators, investors and others financial institutions to build cyber resiliency strategies into the three lines. another challenge is understanding and communicating about the cyber programs efficacy. while missed and others have developed implementa

this morning trump launched his most egregious assaulted on our law enforcement institutions to date saying look how things have turned around on the criminal deep state. they go after phony collusion with russia, a madeup scam and end up getting caught in a major spy scandcan dal, the likes of this country may never have seen before. what goes around comes around. believe it or not, that's the president of the united states talking. nothing could be further from the truth, however. certainly when it comes to the fbi's use of an informant in their investigation of the trump campaign. in his washington "washington post" column today it, david ig nay shish asked the question lost, isn't that what the fbi and its sources are supposed to do? ignatius adds, trump is running a circus of distraction. but at the interest of the ring remains mueller, silent and unblinking. nevertheless, the president has managed to pressure the department of justice and the fbi to sit down with his republican acolytes tomorrow. trump leading this circus parade is already out there declaring that bad things ha

speefive speefive >> education and related agencies and the institute directors the recent supportive medical research from the committee and the congress is clear that senator murray and i have worked on this committee to increase funding for the national institutes of health $7 billion above where we were tripling the alzheimer's research amounts with a precision initiative to targeted resources to those revolutionary projects without universal flu vaccine and those efforts to combat antibiotic resistance. a renewed investment is provided millions of americans and families with help they would not otherwise have the nih undid research has raised life expectancy to vastly improve the quality of life i am hopeful we can see lower healthcare costs and create economic growth with that innovation that is such an important part of dealing with healthcare issues now. both this administration and the last proposed cuts of nih funding rarely there is a straight line of success but so far we think to maintain the upward momentum everybody on the subcommittee sees at the moment with west afric

collins and the institute directors. the recent support, i think, of medical research from our subcommittee and the full committee and the congress is clear. during the three years that senator murray and i have worked together on this committee we've increased funding for the national institute of health by 23%. $7 billion above where we were just three years ago. we've nearly tripled the alzheimer's research amount, started the precision medicine initiative and targeted resources really to such revolutionary projects as the brain initiative. the universal flu vaccine and efforts to combat antibiotic resistance. a renewed investment in nih has provided and can provide millions of americans and their families with hope that they wouldn't otherwise have, nih-funded research has raised life expectancy, vastly improved the quality of life for all americans and in addition i'm hopeful that we can see ways to lower health costs and -- health care costs and to create economic growth by supporting the jobs, the research and the

the point being, these are all public higher education institutions. these two most improbable figures joined together to make the case to the -- to their colleagues in the house and the senate that higher education needed support from the federal government. and that the people -- the initial -- the whole country would benefit from this and that the principle beneficiaries would be significantly though not exclusively be persons of limited financial or political resources and often persons of color. so john will tell you what happened next. thank you. >>> the convention when you're second speaker is to talk about your predecessor that she was a rough act to follow. i'm going to break from that script. patricia graham is a great act to follow. and she has indeed set good context of the truly significant issues. so this allows me to focus on some of the deliberations of what i call history if our own time. i want to talk specifically about the higher education act of 1965, how it was signed, sealed, and delivered; or, rather, how its proponents thought

people in the east have no trust in the political institutions of the worst yeah and i think this is one of the major challenges that libya's going to have to get past you know whether it's elections or we conciliation or whatever kind of political agreement you know comes out down the road having the source security institutions under control having the militias under civilian state control is one of the priorities you can't really have rule of law or any kind of stability without the kind of accountability that comes from having these state security structures under the control of a civilian state as you mentioned the egyptian led military reunification talks have been going on the last two months have had some success and they have managed to make some western and eastern elements i think that is a positive starting that saying that can be built upon it hasn't got some of the involvement of some of some of the western militias but equally we've seen within the west some of these militias that previously fought against each others in terms of arthur who are now starting to have som

missile mccrone says that there is a need for unifying libyan institutions and at the same time. he brain then added you know. his chief of staff as two separate. delegations each would over thirteen members and they. enter osh and you're talking about unifying the legal institutions i see your point ron no the french president i'm unaware mccrone is clearly trying to inject new momentum into the french forming policy by trying to bring all the parties a libya to go shoot a settlement does he have the stature the leverage to convince key regional players who have been meddling into the affairs of libya to put an end to that meddling i think. he has. started to share the very hardworking knowledgeable. and well respected man in the in europe. in the us to live in russia the problem is that it's a very difficult task let's see if you have to for instance one of the fishes blacks. to not difficult for you to make its tissue soup from this acquired but if you want to trust for all the fish soup into and that cryo it will be much more difficult for you and it's exactly what happened w

from those institutions. >> i understand that 1% of public institutions and less than really 1% for nonprofit actually have students who felt that they had been misled by their school and i'm just wondering i mean 90% of colleges and remarks students in the nonprofit, that's a large percentage of for-profits that students are reporting on which you indicated. what do those numbers tell you? >> well, fraud in any case is not to be tolerated and i think we have to be very clear about that. we need to ensure that students that have been to frauded, but that is taken into consideration with regards to their student debt and dealt with appropriately. we need to make sure that students go into higher education with their eyes wide open about what they are buying. >> do we have a role though, does the federal government have a role in that? 200 more ended up filing those complaints. there really is a difference between these institutions and i'm wondering with the eyes on this that you suggest, do you have any idea how many people have been dedicated to this broad? what i understand as there were so

it is extremely critical that these schools offer so much to our institution.let me follow up on the comments to you and the questions, and i'm curious about what the rationale for these are. >> i'm sorry? >> the cards. he talked to you about the student loan disbursement and the cards. >> cards? >> okay, let me just move on and back up and ask you a question about the charlotte school of law because during this past year, the charlotte school of law, the students did lose out and we did send a letter asking support for those students, and i don't believe they really got the kind of support that they needed in terms of the payment and getting their money back and so forth. would you comment on that? >> if the students have madee application for forgiveness of their loans, they are certainly in the process, but if they have not made application, we can't consider that so i assume that all of those that sought relief have done so, have made application and we are working on and committed to considering each of them. >> that really has not been the case for a lot

i am president of the washington institute. [applause] but we begin by thanking my good friend for his outstanding service as president and chairman of the institute. [applause] and by congratulating jim. [applause] .. >> we met with inspiring leaders and energizing people. women and man at every stop. of course change happens that different ways, a different pace in style than it might happen elsewhere. a similar group visited cairo in november of 2010. just two minutes before the revolution. that change was bottom-up, saudi arabia, changes top-down shipment by a new generation of leadership. what have better, more lasting success? time will tell. does it matter to america? absolutely. most americans get their first glimpse of the engine of change of saudi arabia in the 60 minute interview and during a cross-country tour a few weeks ago. we were fortunate to have an early opportunity to hear him during our december visit. we had checked out of the hotel, the four seasons, not the risks, and met with the prince before our depar

who still works at the national institute has one word for it all. impunity impunity at every level he says. meanwhile your learned and one man oil had to sell their flat to pay medical bills their claims for compensation have fallen on deaf ears mexico's attorney general's office kept them waiting for eight years only to tell them it wouldn't take any action all the time you learned his health is worsening although it's unclear if that has any connection to the device. i'm frightened of dying as leaving my daughter i'm just so tired there are days in which i just think it would be better if i died. against the backdrop of silence a congresswoman and n.g.o.s have taken the case to the into american human rights commission. it's unlikely to succeed but it is a fresh attempt to get justice for the hundreds of people treated as guinea pigs over a pool to use. john home and how does it or mexico city. police in serbia have stopped returning to a village where he encouraged ethnic hatred to during the balkans war or just love scene here in the red shirt w

collins and the institute directors. the recent support of medical research by our subcommittee and congress is clear. during the three years senator maria cantwell i worked together i workedor murray and together, $7 billion above what we were three years ago. we traveled the alzheimer's research amount, started the precision mesu medicine initiative and confident resources to such revolutionary projects as the universal flu like vaccine and a renewed canstment in nih has and provide millions of americans and their families without that they wouldn't otherwise have. ni funded researchh has raised life expectancy, vastly improved the quality of life for all americans, and in addition removal we can see ways to lower health care costs and to create economic growth by supporting the jobs. yjr research so far we have been able to maintain an important momentum that everybody on this subcommittee certainly sees at the moment we are in. things like the west africa challenge three years ago with the devastating outbreak of kil

we need to allow those institutions. in the long run there will always be a place for for-profit colleges to do there a specific vocational -- to do very areas andocational online education is popular. iny are permanent players the market. whether they survive in the state they are for a very long time has a lot to do with how they are perceived in the public. their public perception has gone down. they tend to be more expensive than public colleges because they do not get state appropriations. they are eligible for pell grants or federal loans, if you are talking about the accredited institutions, but they have to charge a lot of money because they do not have endowments or other sources of income to offset the cost of education. host: is the process of being accredited different for these schools? guest: the process is the same, actually. it is a complex issue. there are regional accreditors, seven in the u.s., that a credit mostly public colleges and some private nonprofits. then there are national accreditors that do

, than the diplomacy and foreign assistance institutions. (suspenseful music) - [narrator] after the postwar demobilization, american defense spending climbed, as it refocused to counter the communist threat. (suspenseful music) - after world war ii, given this sense of a growing peril from the soviet union, this confrontation of global systems, we set up a series of bases around the world. (suspenseful music) - we needed a military that was sufficiently large to prevent intimidation by the soviet army, the soviet military, so that the political forces that we generated would have impact, like the marshall plan, the united nations charter. we created an international system that was favorable to our interests. that became the foundation for much of the defense department's planning for 35 years. - [narrator] by 1991, the soviet union, america's primary post-world war ii foe, collapsed. - world war three didn't happen, because the united states and europe were too strong. we effectively deterred any kind of soviet attack.

a significant percentage of those were from those institutions. >> from those institutions. because i under that about 1% of public institutions, less than 1% for nonprofits actually have students who felt that they had been misled by their school. i'm just wondering, you know, 90% of colleges enroll students in the nonprofits, so that's a large percentage then of for profits that student are reporting on, which you seem to have indicated. what do those numbers tell you >> well, fraud in any case is not to be tolerated. and i think we have to be very clear about that. we need to ensure that students that have been defrauded, that's taken into consideration in regards to their student debt and dealt with appropriately. we need to make sure that students go into higher education with their eyes wide-open about what they are buying. >> do we have a role, though, does the federal government have a role in that? if we're looking at 200 times more ending up filing those kinds of complaints, you know it suggests to me there's a difference between these institution types and i'm won

i work at an institute in new york city. i also worked part-time as an adjunct professor at a local college, and to me it is worth it. i think it is important for students, and i tell all my for loanis that look forgiveness programs, there are plenty, especially in the helping professions. government, and also indian reservations, if you go to the national health service, you can find jobs to repay. i know a physician right now that is paying her student loans working in alaska. i know that is pretty radical-sounding, but there are national health services in every state. usually, if you work in underserved areas with vulnerable populations, if you are willing to do that you can actually get loan forgiveness. therapist, apeech support person at work, who was really lamenting about her student loans. said, put speech therapy and a loan forgiveness programs, and now she is working in a loan forgiveness program and not having to pay her student loans back. so i think part of it is knowing how to negotiate the system. john is ca

think our institutions have been subjected, our political institutions to what tim geithner described as a stress test with regard to the nation's largest banks. i personally believe we are in the process of passing that stress test, which does not mean our institutions have been unharmed in the same way our banks got off scott free. they had been recovering and are now recovered and i have some confidence american political institutions will describe the same trajectory, but here are my reasons why. whyut the hear my reasons you will have to wait for subsequent rounds. greetings from the people's republic of berkeley. i have been living out there a little over three years and ands to me like berkeley the great blue state of california, the sixth largest nation in the world is a hotbed of moderation compared to what we see happening in our national politics. answer those three questions gretchen raised initially. how serious is the threat? i would say the threat level is the highest since the civil war. because it is presented by one of our major political parties and is now in contro

the institute was a band that most of the employees had fled during the occupation. they left the manuscripts to their own fate. but the future seemed bleak there was no work so they were forced to leave. but nobody was permitted to enter the building which was built by south africa. but nobody was allowed to enter except for the occupying forces a. lot of people everyone was concerned the head of the ahmed baba institute the owners of the family libraries the population of timbuktu the delegation was sent into the jihadi camp to ensure that the manuscripts were safe. but. what value do the manuscripts of timbuktu have to you as an intellectual. so they contain our history they are us what i'll be without the manuscripts in this institute we can't imagine a community without them they are our history our culture. so you would do everything in your power to protect the manuscripts. we don't even need to discuss this. but was he to be trusted with the jihadist really safeguard the manuscripts. after the meeting the director wasn't sure what. we can cooperate with and s

all institutions touched by the heist have denied they were told for the losses they have however taken steps to improve security. police headquarters in downtown dhaka detectives here are working with all sorts easy in other countries in what has become an international investigation they've yet to confirm how the hackers got into the system or we will fit all the data and helping us into helping us and we are trying to find out. about cancun theme. maybe some investigators are sifting through ten terabytes of data in the hunt for a smoking gun that might identify the culprits though no bank insiders have been charged over the heist police say they must fully investigate the possibility. that maybe a bank employee. yes. thank you dish bank denies that anyone on the inside was involved and also denies negligence the police have not charged anyone from bangladesh bank in relation to the heist. to find out more i contacted one of the private sector cyber security companies that have investigated the methods used by the hackers what were your thoughts when you heard that this central bank

and they worry that this institution, this democratic institution, that our government works for somebody else. and not for them. and they know what happens when a culture of corruption takes hold. they understand the consequence of special interests ruling the roost. and taking hostage their governmental institutions. when wall street calls the shots on tax policy, it has a consequence in the everyday lives of americans out there. when scott pruitt is carrying polluted water for the oil and gas industry and the chemical industry, it makes a difference to the daily lives of americans all across this country. people understand this. they feel it viscerally. and they resent it. they want to see their voice again in their politics and in their government. they want to believe that they matter. the polls keep coming back, 90%, 95% of americans think that washington works for somebody else and not for them. but we need to move on from diagnosing the problem. because we know what it is. and americans know what it is. we have to just stop talking about how money and special interests have too mu

what proportion of that came from students who attended public institutions? >> thanks for that question. students percentage of from for-profit versus not-for-profit schools, i do not know the breakdown of that specifically. inherited tens of thousands of these claims when i came into office. for the ones that were very clearly to be decided, those were able to be taken care of very quickly. but frankly beyond that there was no process and no framework in order to consider these. we have now been able to put that process together, and have been able to address these pending claims very promptly, and are continuing to do so on behalf of the students. >> if you are focusing on those, do you have any ideas of the percentages of nonprofit institutions? >> that would be primarily from two large-- from institutions, corinthian and itt. a significant percentage of those were from those institutions. >> i understand that about 1% of public institutions, less than havee nonprofits, actually students who felt they had been misled by their school. 90% ofst wondering, no

i've been involved with the claremont institute for a long time because the claremont institute, an organization might view has been more committed to sustaining the philosophical principles behind this country and in fact you are here to suggest he may be part of that mission as well. there are people that think that is a nice thing to do to sit around and talk about the constitution. i happen to agree. so very american thing to do and is one of the reasons why i wrote this book. i wrote this book because i wanted to figure out or myself how it was that we have now entered our third century under the united states constitution. it's an extraordinary thing. france a country that is like us makes false claims about having lost to the banner of world liberty has had since the timer constitution took effect five republics, to napoleonic empires one monarchy and every one of them was a different constitution and yet here we are under the same text. what i have found is it's not just the text. it's a constitutional culture of the spirit of constitutionalism, a way of doing things traditions without w
