mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator blumenthal.or knell soften, i think you had -- knell soften, i think you had a question. >> earlier in my comments i noted the toxicity of the concentrated nicotine in an e-cigarette refill liquid. let me ask the two gentlemen, mr. healy and mr. weiss, in addition to the nicotine, what are the other ingredients in the liquid nicotine? >> speaking to the blu product, the five key ingredients are propose line gliokohl, glycerin and vegetable glycerin, distilled water, nicotine and natural and artificial flavors. >> and in our product it's glycerin and also flavorings. >> any of those other than the nicotine harmful sub standses? substances? >> we've tested our products, and we support the fda's hphc harmful and potentially harmful constituent testing for these products, and we've submitted our results to the fda and are very comfortable with the results that they are orders of magnitude safer than combusted cigarettes. >> but as to the substance itself being harmful or not, i didn't understand your

mr. osiecki. >> chairman blumenthal, ranking member blunt, subcommittee members, i'm dave osiecki, chief of advocacy for the american trucking associations, the largest trade association for the trucking industry. we represent more than 30,000 carrier members. thanks for this opportunity, and i'd ask that my full statement be made part of the record. >> without objection. >> thank you. the trucking industry places safety at the top of its priority list. our industry actually spends more than $7.5 billion annually on safety, and that investment is making a difference. over the past decade, the number of large trucks involved in fatal crashes has dropped by 17% even with the industry operating an additional 2.7 million truck, operating an additional 54 billion miles. more trucks, billions more miles, fewer crashes. as mentioned at the outset, however, over the last three years we've seen anen crease in -- an increase in crashes over the historic lows in 2009 during the recession. we must refocus our effort toss maintain the longer term positive safety trend. refocusing our collective effor

mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator blumenthal. senator vitter. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you both for your service. certainly, i want to express strong support for fixing this problem absolutely as soon as possible as well. i voted against the budget deal in december, and this issue was the single biggest reason why, so we need to get it fixed. and i want to express strong support for fixing anytime a way that doesn't -- fixing it in a way that doesn't increase the deficit in any way. that would be doing through two steps what the huge majority of us vowed absolutely not to do. and so that would be a failure as well. so i'm very hopeful we'll get this done. i just have one question for both of you. this provision essentially treated folks in uniform fundamentally differently and worse than federal civilian employees, all other federal civilian employees. it sort of penalized them, if you will, retroactively on this issue while the change is made for all other federal employees was prospectively only. do you think there's any justification for that diff

mr. leblanc, in your opinion, what agency is best equipped to regulate? >> as senator blumenthal pointed out at the beginning, there are a number of different entities that are involved in any cramming. there's the third party content providers, there's the aggregators and there as well are the carriers. at the fcc, we have primary jurisdiction over the carriers. we don't have the ability under our authority to reach the third parties which the ftc, for example, does as well as our partners at the state level as well. so from our perspective, we think that it's necessary that you have federal, ftc, fcc as well as state involvement to get to all three parties. >> but you, in your view though the fcc is best equipped to deal with carrier component of that? >> certainly on the regulatory side, there's no question about it, ranking member thune. we are the only authority that has the ability to prom be all -- promulgate regulations to prevent and to respond to this on the rulemaking. on the enforcement side, we have worked very much over the last four years, in fact, in particular on

blumenthal. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you for having this very important and enlightening hearing. and thank you to the members of the panel for country bidding so importantly to our discussion, and each of you has really been extraordinarily insightful in your own way based in part on the experience and research that you bring to this table. and just to add to the chairman's question, money money money is often very important. but it's also how the money is spent. and also what can be done to prevent cte. one of the areas as education or the core eastern institute at the university of connecticut has released, as you know, a list of nine recommendations for blessings the incidents and reducing -- lessening the incident of long-term traumatic brain injuries and expense of the state and adopting those recommendations is very, very mixed. connecticut has implemented only 4. most of the states have implemented a few of them. so there is a lot of work to be done here in educating parents, trainers, but als

blumenthal. >> thank you, mr.chairman, and thank you for championing this bill which i am very, very proud to cosponsor. thank you for having this hearing which gives us an opportunity to really, not only express our support and sympathy, but also to make you a part of the crusade for this legislation which will really in a sense make something good come of your horrific experiences. and i have a family who is a constituent family in greenwich who suffered are tragically, a loss that in some ways is reminiscent of yours, and loss that still is with them. george smith the iv vanished, literally disappeared sometime overnight going into july for of nine years ago. he remains missing since the 2005. there was blood on the ship when it went into a harbor. the crime scene was never secured, let alone adequately investigated. his death remains a mystery today. much to the understandable consternation of his family. is deaf -- his death is with us still in connecticut. it is a grievous reminder that the rights of people

blumenthal. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you both for being here today. thank you both for your extraordinary service to our nation. i would agree with my good friend, senator graham, in his assessment that we are on a path to repeal the very unfortunate and unwise cola cuts in retiree pensions that were a flaw in the budge agreement. i would disagree -- budget agreement. i would disagree with him only on his reference to glide path which implies an ease and unimpeded track that is rarely found in the congress, and i think it will take some doing to have that path achieved. but i think that the debate and the discussion here this morning and your testimony's been very helpful to reach aring that path which i think -- to reaching that path which i think we have an obligation to do. i voted for the budget agreement, like so many of my colleagues. i did so with the understanding that that flaw would be corrected and that it would be corrected before the next ndaa, as soon as possible, right away for all the reasons that you've outlined so well; the effect on

blumenthal. >> thank you, madam chairman. i want to thank you for having this hearing which i think is very important. i thank mr. feinberg for your work, very challenging work in this area. i have only five minutes here but you spent more than five minutes, actually more than five hours in talking to me and my staff and we hope we can continue to work on many of these very profoundly important details. but the devil here is in the details. and in the discretion that you will have. i want to ask you about one area of what i hope is within your discretion. on june 30, of this year, when you announced the details of your compensation protocol, g.m. announced the recall of more than eight million cars hat had ignition defect -- defects, defective ignition switches. the company acknowledged those defective ignition switches. beyond the models involved in your compensation fund so far caused at least three deaths and numerous injuries. added to the list of the chevrolet cobalt and saturn ion, we have multiple other models of chevrolet, oldsmobile, pontiac cars, g.m. has now recalled more than 14 million cars in 2014.

blumenthal and i want to go back to terence moore. what does this do with organizations in the league, mr. moore? i mean, coming up on the end of training camp right now. i know that there's a lot of counselling that goes on with these players when they're new into the league. when an athlete comes to you today, they bring their agent. they bring their accountant and they bring their advertising guy and the next corporate deal that they're going to do. they come to you today as a commodity. and they're don't just come from some school, you know, this has to be managed. so what's the responsibility of coaches and teams and the way they manage these players at this point in the wake of this? >> if you are a general manager or an nfl coach right now immediately you are getting all these guys in the room and telling them to cool it it, stop it, be about business because we cannot afford to lose you for six weeks, okay some besides the fact that they'll get zapped as par as pay is concerned, you're going to hurt the team. people were talking about due process earlier and one of the beautiful things ab

mr. chairman. dr. malcolm, i know you wanted to follow up on something senator whitehouse was focusing on when his time ran out. , i am to get at the issue a supporter of senator blumenthal's bill. i think temporary restraint orders are important. let's set that aside and talk about permanent restraining orders in the federal law. they are where you cannot get a gun at all you do you support that? >> i do. >> great. i want to get at the history just as mcafee and the sheriff a big part of my bill was extending the to victims who are dating partners. do you support that piece of it? >> after there is a full hearing. >> by nature, there is a full hearing when you get a permanent restraining order. >> i think that is fair. i don't think it should be retroactive to anyone. after a full hearing, that is reasonable. >> the other thing i was thinking about was the numbers on the reduction of crime rates. i know some of the work we have done with violence against women and the word justice mccaffery , theone in law enforcement sheriff talked about what they have been doing in wisconsin under his leadership has made a difference. we have seen some reduction in those rates. i wonder

mr. chairman. and i hope that on the second round of weekend here more. >> you've been doing this a long time, senator blumenthalsenator klobuchar. >> thank you chairman. i'm a former prosecutor and i like to look at the facts and the first fact is that senator blumenthal mentioned that stuck out to me is the recent study found that almost 2 million kids have tried these e. cigarettes. that is a problem right there. have you gone to both movies? >> yes i have. >> have you been in the theaters to people that read the books for the most part are girls and i've seen this many times because i got to be about two in the morning when they do the premiere and all of the girls go to see the movie and this is a happy birthday to robert patterns and i noticed that would senator blumenthal mentioned here do you think that really appeals to me or senator blumenthal that we should wish him happy birthday. >> he is an adult and movies that appeal to kids and that is what matters to me because this is a marketing technique. the third factor that i want to move to is the flavoring issue. and i don't understand why when regular

mr. leblanc come in your opinion but dependent agency is best equipped to regulate them report wireless cribbing matters for telecommunication carriers? >> well, as senator blumenthal pointed out at the beginning, there are a number of different entities involved in any cramming. there's a third-party content providers, the aggregators as well as the carriers. at the sec, we have primary jurisdiction over the carriers. we don't have the ability under authority to reach the third parties, which the ftc, for example does as well as partners at the state level as well. so from our perspective, we think it is necessary that you have federal ftc, fcc as well as state involvement to state involvement ticket to author parties. >> putting your view, the fcc is best equipped to deal with the carrier component of that? >> certainly on the regulatory side. there's no question about it. we are the only authority that has the ability to promulgate regulations to prevent and to respond this on the ball making. on the enforcement side, we have worked very much over the past four years in particular on cramming at the carrier level and will continue to vigorously enforce in that a

mr. chairman. >> thank you, senator nelson. i apologize. you could have run for the senate ten years ago. >> i don't want to be disrespectful to senator blumenthal who i think was here before me earlier. no? >> i will ask my questions now only because i have to preside, and if you would yield for five minutes, i would really appreciate it. >> i've already been put in my place once. i will yield. >> yeah, but you're bigger than i am. so -- [ laughter ] >> let me thank you, mr. chairman, for having this hearing, which very sincerely i think is a very important one or a significant for the future of academic institutions. i want to thank all of the folks who have come to enlighten us and thank you to senator nelson. and i want to begin by saying, for what it's worth, i think the law here is heading in a very unfortunate direction. as dr. emmert and i have discussed, i think the law is heading in the direction of regardi regarding athletes at university more and more employees that is because of the growing asymmetry and energy, time, sweat, blood injury that is involved. that is classically the reason why labor law protections have applied to indiv
