chairman moran: senator sinema. senator sinema: i ask unanimous consent to enter into the record a letter from the endurance sport coalition. chairman moran: without objection. senator sinema: i want to thank our witnesses for their testimony on this important topic. arizona has a vibrant economy that feeds thousands of jobs and provides opportunities to enjoy art, pewter, music and sports. these numerous entertainment options also draw tourists to arizona in addition to our excellent weather and landscape. nationwide, 85% of the industry has been furloughed. i am hearing daily from arizonans and small businesses that are struggling to stay afloat as their venues are closed or limited due to the pandemic. i am proud to be a cosponsor of the save our stages legislation, both of which can provide necessary assistance. the save our stages bill will provide $16 billion to support clubs, theaters, concert halls and movie theaters that meet certain criteria. the restart act includes a loan program to restart businesses. a

moran has a comment. >> vice president moran: i did want to hear the public comment before i did wrapup there. several things, one, i think it will be useful to provide to the commission and probably anybody else who want it, a printed version of the work sheet. that takes a big piece of paper. we have big pieces of paper that will do that. the reason i say that, when you see it all on one page, you can see some of the interrelationships in how you build to a bottom line. that's a useful thing to be able to do. one of the uses of that is kind of keep track where you are any given moment. as commissioner harrington mentioned, it helps you think about the proportion, so what you're talking about has an effect on the bottom line. i think that's helpful thing. if you can put up the slide that was the reader's digest version of it. this is only place in the presentation that shows the bottom line. it is literally the bottom line in the table. that view of the world is what i think is the before picture. this is kind of the beginning of a journey. this is where we're starting from. this is be

moran: thank you. it is my usual practice in hearings in seminole -- senator blumenthal and i conduct for any witness to add or correct anything they said. is there any witness that would like to add anything to the record before we conclude? --ould like mr. pantuso: i would like to follow-up on a question that senator lee had earlier on what the federal government can do. i will give you one example. we are hearing from national parks that they will only allow a bus with 10 individuals to come into the parks. grand canyon is a perfect example. they are not allowing companies to come in that do not already cua,passes in 2020, or a commercial youths -- use authorization permit. which means that as we get to the recovery and people want to bring more people into the national park system they will not be allowed to because you cannot run a bus with 10 individuals, one being the driver and one being the guide and only eight paying customers. if you have not already been to the park and have a cua, it means

let's get right to terry moran. and the u.s. supreme court seemed to send a strong signal today with very few words. >> reporter: this was brutal, david. no question about it. it took the supreme court just 34 minutes between the time that president trump's allies in pennsylvania filed their brief in this case and a one-sentence order from the supreme court rejecting that entire case. no reasoning, just, no, get out of here. and there were no recorded dissents by any of the justices, including amy coney barrett and neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh, all of whom appointed by president trump. there's no doubt this is a clear message from the supreme court that they want no part of this campaign in the courts to overturn the election. trump's allies were trying to get millions of votes invalidated in pennsylvania and in this brusk way, the supreme court just said no. and that should end it in the courts. >> terry moran on the breaking news from the supreme court tonight. thank you, terry. >>> president-elect joe biden introducing me

when he speaks at a committee hearing that if you close your eyes you hear paul harvey and senator moran said he sounded like jack benny once in a while and maybe that's true to what what i always heard when i was growing up paul harvey was the voice on the radio pretty much every day in her house and i hear that same sort of midwestern resident and commonsensical voice whenever i hear pat get up and talk. i will tell you, mr. president, pat may hee a great sense of humor and he does keep us constantly smiling around here which is something we don't do near often enough, particularly these days but he's also very serious when it comes to getting things doneeo for the people o kansas and they cannot have a better advocate. that said, both pat and i come from states whose lifeblood is agriculture and pat roberts heart has always beat with the farmers of this country. his advocacy for american agriculture resulted in his of serving as chairman of both the house in the senate agricultural committees during his career and has already been noted that as the first member of congress in story, f

what's interesting when i listen to senator moran's -- chairman moran's comments is that many of the things that he brought up in his opening statement i will bring up in mine. and so i guess there's bipartisan concern on a lot of different fronts here. but i do want to thank dr. stone and dr. lawrence for being here. i know the pandemic, which has stretched on for nearly a year, and experts are saying the worst is yet to come, has hit the va, just like it's hit everybody. you guys run the largest integrated health care system in the country. and during the coming weeks, you'll have the dual responsibility of caring for sick veterans while distributing a coronavirus vaccine. once that vaccine is deemed safe and effective you'll be distributing it to the veterans and staff across this nation. the fda officials plan to meet tomorrow to discuss emergency use of the pfizer vaccine. my understanding is that the initial dose can be shipped within 24 hours after receiving fda authorization. so with the first vaccine shipment potentially days away, i am troubled that va has yet to publish a

now this is because san mateo county did not follow suit of moran contra costa santa clara alameda and san francisco counties and enact the state's regional stay-at-home order early the bay area's regional icu capacity has still not dip below 15% which would mandate a shutdown and san mateo counties, public health officer came out with a statement defending hit that his position not to go through with it which states in part facing such extreme decisions on non standardized and poorly understood metrics seems fraught to me. he believes the county's hospitals are equipped to deal with the surge the icu capacity is currently at 35% here. he says he's not aware of data showing that activities that would be temporarily banned under the order like hear cuts driving cases up one san mateo county supervisor is pushing back on this decision however, and thinks it would be better if all the core bay area counties were in sync. >>look we have 5.5 million people that's around us. and we're in this little island. so we have county called santa clara. which is having extraordinary challenges me. we
