maurer, for your testimony as well.nt to back up a little bit because one of the problems i see on day-to-day basis, i'm up to my neck in this stuff in my district is the power of oxycodone and i've got, i can tell you some horror stories about young people that we've been dealing with, that you know, one young woman had tooth extraction and got a prescription of oxycontin. and then she falsely, tells me now, falsely complained of persistent tooth pain. got another scrip of oxycontin. two scripps later she is fully addicted. started complaining about other teeth, having other extractions. this young woman was having teeth pulled out of her just to get the oxycontin. when people are doing that that tells you this is very, powerful, powerful drug. because of the tolerance what it does to the brain and because of tolerance that develops and resistance that develops, greater dosages are needed. so using that as just one example, and i could give you a bunch more, why is it we're allowing drug companies to produce these powe

maurer, do you have comments?>> we've done some work looking at the federal prison at gao and the bureau of prisons has expanded the amount of resources specifically for the drug treatment programs in the federal system. one incentive for the inmates to take advantage of the programs they can have a reduction in their sentence if they successfully complete those programs. >> i thank the gentleman for his insight and well informed questions and so the chair now recognizes the gentle woman from the district of columbia, my friend, ms. norton. >> i appreciate this hearing, mr. chairman. we've heard -- we've heard from mr. maurer about the increase in use. and i certainly am not going to blame that on hida or the drug administration. nor does he. in fact, staying ahead of the drug du jour has become such a challenge that i think we ought to concede that it will always be a challenge. if we concede that, then looking in to what we can really do would make sense. i really have a question on the drug du jour in the distr

the maurer tied to proliferate in your environment and telefind something of interest and now it's harvesting the different data storage come to different files in different pieces of information i would be of interest to his beloved adversary is. now need to get that information out in a way that is not detected. it takes a long in one huge file alarms to go off this has had a white is kind of get in the slipstream of traffic? you're busy sending out i was between 9:00 or 10:00 in the morning they will go on times. so it gains it out. now it's gained information outside of your environment. now has to get back so it's got to go to some drop server that says dump all the files onto. now it's got to get it back to their host location without it being traceable so there are ways to clear its track and try to go to the navigation piece. before the malware is issued is a spear phishing campaign. at this something that's going to create the malware? the bad guys to grade out their own tools. who am i going to host it was so i've got to drop it. since you click on that spear fish eye of the a serve

. >> listening to the san bernardino police department to the questions of the press that what maurer details than what the police can provide and certainly that is understandable because they have been under an intense manhunt and shootout with the suspects over the course of the past hour. we want 2.0 with the timeline of the last five hours of the for shot as many as 200 people in the regional center in 14 people are confirmed dead and the police chief cautioned everyone that the numbers may rise. one critically wounded in the shooting that happened around 11 local time and a social services center they helped to disable there that was rented out to a health care provider i cannot tell you what company that is or what was assembled reported the there having a christmas luncheon the shooting lasted just three 1/4 minutes according to the police the shooter used to long guns likely semiautomatic rifles. coming from eyewitnesses' some of whom witnessed the shooting or some fled the building and shots were being fired. police are not saying anything and that is likely because they don'

what you guys asked for, maybe maurer. if you prosecute locally what do the federal prosecutors ask for? >> i do not what the standard sentences are. a lot of facts go into sentencing. mandatory minimums weigh large particularly with heroin. >> is there mandatory heroin if i have given enough heroin i am apparently not using it for personal use? >> function of prosecutorial discretion and what actions they choose to take but there are mandatory minimums associated with heroin. i don't know what those are though. >> okay. do you know how many people are in federal prison for selling heroin? >> i don't know how many are in federal prison. i do know over half the current federal inmate population is serving a sentence predominantly based on drug possession and drug trafficking. >> the reason i say this, there is big difference between heroin and other drugs. marijuana being illegal, but nobody dying of mayor one overdose. this heroin thing is a whole new thing. much worse than the cocaine thing. much worse than anything. that
