individuals you have been talking about, the big businessman, mr nacif, and the former governor, mr marining charges for their alleged involvement in you being detained and tortured, as you put it. they vehemently deny those charges and those charges are going to be tested in court. so, maybe, that is one indication that, in the last couple of years, mexico has begun to change and to take these issues seriously. yes, yes, it certainly is. although it took a big effort on the part of article 19 organisation from london, in mexico, that helped me bring my case to international courts... ..and to the inter—american court in washington, in orderfor the mexican government to react. so the international pressure has been key to solving this case and to getting these men arrested by interpol, because we have enough evidence to prove them guilty and, of course, they will have to defend themselves, but i'm sure i'm going to win. mm—hm. well, we obviously can't say whether you're going to win or not, but what does seem clear is that your story is emblematic of something much deeper in mexico. at th

mrs. kennedy's taste, but the collection is growing, and the interest in all periods is growing. so what we were able to pair with this, is this john marin painting, and that was what mrs. kennedy acquisition. she found it light and easy and was very useful upstairs. and it was interesting as a pair with the other paintings. beyond the wall you see the far left, in the green room, is a john singer sergeant fainting called the mosquito net. this was where this was acquired early in the johnson and ministration. and mrs. kennedy would've been pleased to these great paintings were donated and people who want to remember mrs. kennedy and john kennedy's contribution to the white house. this is room the carpet had been changed during the truman administration, it's an interesting room. the lower right, was how it evolved. it didn't change very much. the early 2000s, it was still the 1952 carpet. and the furniture, lincoln bed and some of the other pieces. this is one where in 2004, first lady laura bush, said could we have a refreshing of this room, and go back to the period documents and do it as right as we can. i think mrs. kennedy would've

marines would make pets of some of the stray dogs and cats or whatever. at came blessing they had kind of a friend and a rhesus monkey and the name tim mr. peepers. mr. eepers eventually would go out and the marines would go out on patrol and they had dogs that they would take with them because the dog could smell somebody before they might see them particularly if you're climbing up the mountain. mr. peepers would jump on the backs of the dogs and ride the dog. he was the funniest thing that i got to see them ride on the back of one of those dogs. it's probably not the smartest things to do in terms of getting hit that they have befriended mr. peepers and they taught them how to smoke a cigarette. but one of them ran to all grum had befriended a dog and some help persuaded the marine corps to let her take that dog back to the u.s.. she took her r&r and to that dog back home. they rather places where they had befriended dogs in their living quarters. it's kind of like a sense of normalcy whether it be a cat or dog or a monkey in the different places that we travel. >> when he left afghanistan did you go back to your previous weekends and one week a ye

mrs. carl taylor from pennsylvania. her husband was a marine sergeant, sergeant carl taylor. he charged an enemy machine gun single-handed and knocked it out. he lost his life. but in the process, the lives of several wounded marines in the range of that machine gun were saved. after i presented her the medal, i shook hands with their two children, carl junior was years -- 8 years old, and kevin was 4. as i was about to move to the next recipient, kevin suddenly stood at attention and saluted. i found it rather difficult to get my thoughts together for the next presentation. my fellow americans, i want to end this war in a way that is worthy of the sacrifice of carl taylor. and i think he would want me to end it in a way that would increase the chances that kevin and carl and all those children like them here and around the world would grow up in a world where none of them have to die. >> lawrence roberts, president nixon's words there, what impact did they have in the following days that lead up to may 1971? >> nixon was in kind of a precarious position at this point in apri

mr. hill myer, i mentioned during my opening statement my visit to the lager head marine life center. i saw the damaging impacts of micro plastics in our environment and in our food supply. do you think that biodegradable plastics would be beneficial? seems to me it could be a bit of a game changer, in addressing the challenge of micro plastics? if so, what challenges to adopting more biodegradable plastics do you see? >> congressman, thank you for the question. this is a challenging question because of definitions of biodegradable that are present. biodegradable over what time frame, in what conditions? i believe that biodegradable plastics will be a piece of the plastics develop in the toe. of plastics that can be assimilated by microorganisms either in engineered environments places like micro composting and places like that or staped into the environment indiscriminately they could end up degrading over some lifetime. the key becomes how do we understand the fundamental prois he is of biodegradation over what time frame and under what conditions that taxi place? i think we want to

mr. palmer. seeing no questions from committee members. let's move on to jessica pishko. >> good morning, thank you all for having me here. just to address the residency waiver. i'm living in marin county. i previously lived in san francisco. we are currently looking to move back to the city. i want to thank you guys for the opportunity to discuss my interest in sheriff's department oversight. i am coming to this process as a subject matter expert on sheriff and sheriff accountability for over five years, i researched sheriffs around the country, their policies on jail and harass and how to hold sheriffs accountable. i had a fellowship at university of south carolina focused on sheriff training and accountability mechanisms. since then i worked with many organizations across the country as well as local groups to both educate the public on the role of sheriffs to talk about the need for sheriff oversight. one of the things that i think is very important when looking at a board like this is to think about what members of the community know about the sheriff's department as well as what happens inside the jail. one of the activities is present information to groups so people can l

mr. chairman, and let me be clear what the 23rd amendment does. the 23rd amendment allowed d.c. residents a vote for president and that was in the 1960s. so just let that marinate for a second. before the 1960s, this is just, you know, just about ten years before i was born, we couldn't even vote for president. we couldn't even vote for president. that's what the 23rd amendment does. its intent was to expand democracy to d.c. residents and now it's being held up as a barrier. i would just ask you to look at the comments that were submitted by 39 legal scholars where professor primus has testified to today, that this -- the 23rd amendment poses no constitutional barrier to this bill's passage. d.c. can be admitted as a state. the practical concerns have been discussed and this bill also lays out practical solutions by repealing the enforcement legislation. the 23rd amendment makes clear that it is the congress by statute can enforce the 23rd amendment. must enforce the 23rd amendment and that is what will happen after this bill is passed. >> thank you, mayor. mr. muriel, i want to ask you a question related to the 23rd amendment as well. you've heard the mayor p
