complaint. >> supervisor fewer: excuse me, i'm sorry, mr. brown. so, you are telling us that actually when there has been a complaint of nepotism or favoritism or whatever, that you get the complaint, but your investigation brings you back to h.r. department and to e.e.o., is that correct? >> so, if there was a complaint of favoritism or nepotism, done as an inspection service, we would be, my staff would be looking into pulling a record from the department, who was involved in the selection process, are they related to someone else who is in the department. we do sometimes determine that there is some kind of relationship but we now have to remove that perception of favoritism and nepotism. if the department already knew it, what are they doing to resolve the issue, and so this is a conversation with the department sometimes, sometimes with d.h.r. to maybe look at other ways of removing that perception like moving somebody to another department, per se. but if there is some wrongdoing all together and that has been found in the past, where some di

mr. brown: thank you, mr. chairman. i'm a co-sponsor of the violence against women act, and i believe this is the most important bill that this congress will pass to protect thousands of women against violence and demonstrate that we value the dignity of every human being. i was proud to work with the committee to close three potentially fatal loopholes that allow abusers to possess firearms. we closed the stalking loophole by treating stalking similarly to other domestic violence crimes. currently 76% of women who are murdered by their partner were first stalked. we closed the dating partner loophole by expanding restrictions on dating partners convicted of domestic violence from buying a gun. we closed the temporary restraining order loophole, by prohibiting an abuser from getting their hands on a gun when a court issues a temporary order because this is when an abuser is most likely to lash out and retaliate. when domestic violence kills three women a day, we have a moral responsibility to act. mr. chairman, we canno

sadeeq khan says he has "every confidence" in mr brown.at since 2005 — the number of men being admitted to hospital with self—harm injuries has more than doubled. mental health charities say it's due to a variety of reasons. it might be because they are seeing distressing images online. it might be because of the relationships they are going through at the moment or the adversity or trauma in their life. ultimately, it's really important that we are starting to identify that young men are turning up to hospital having self harmed because that behaviour would have gone unnoticed before. a day after ‘extinction rebellion' activists took—over part of the natural history museum, police have placed restrictions around parliament square to stop further disruption. about 100 people lay down under the blue whale skeleton yesterday. 1,000 people have been arrested in a week of protests. the die—in at the museum lasted around an hour. district line has minor delays between wimbledon and edgware road due to a signal failure. 0n the roads, extinction

mr. cole: thank you. dr. browne. mr. barkan: yes. just wanted to -- dr. browne: yes, just wanted to add, in terms of people of color, medicare and medicaid reimbursement costs are not the same across the board. our providers are already getting a lower rate. it's not likely they are going to go out of business. in terms of employers and the amount that's being paid, many of the smaller businesses go to part-time individuals so they do not have to carry that cost. so, again, i think for providers we are concerned about, they are not going to walk out on taking care of their patients even though they are getting a lower rate. mr. cole: dr. nahvi. dr. nahvi: sure. i assume you ask a question from an implementation perspective but from a physician perspective, we are ready for this, not in two years, but two years ago. i am ready to stop seeing my patients not get good care because they can't afford things. >> i'll answer the question from the federal cost perspective, when did i my study i was dealing with a bill that had a four-year transition. dr. blahous:

mr. brown: i rise in opposition to the nomination of calabria calabria -- mark calabria. he's the wrong man for this job. you know, sometimes i kind of can't believe this place. i see these people, i see the president of the united states really never experienced any of these challenges that homeowners in cleveland, ohio, or in muncie, indiana, face. i mean he can't even get a loan from a local bank. he's got to go to germany to the deutsche bank. that's really beside the point. but i just don't understand, when we have these academicians or these people, they work in government for awhile and they go out and do these writings, and over time i look at someone like mark calabria, he seems like a genuinely nice fellow and honorable guy. but some of the things he said and wrote in his career, we start with this, he questions the need for the 30-year mortgage. a lot of members of congress, a lot of people voting on this nomination, a lot of people in the white house, the white house that looks like a retreat for wall street executives, the majority leader's office down the ha

mr. rettig: no. sen. brown: thank you the president's tax laws gave massive tax cuts to millionaires and corporations, the same corporations as we have seen in the case of general motors and jobs overseas. yet it did nothing to make sure hard-working people cannot be touched into property -- poverty and did not boost eitc for people starting out in their careers were still working hard at age 65, as so many people who are barely making it have to. let's switch to ctc. a report told us an increased ctc alone could reduce deep poverty by half. experts across the spectrum left to right agree that expanding the child tax credit critical lifting millions of kids out of poverty, while president trump and congressional republicans claimed to have doubled the child tax credit, millions of low income families are not eligible. correct? mr. rettig: correct. >> 26 million kids were left out. another question, is it true the presidents tax law makes couples who make up to $400,000 per year -- and if you are making that as

mr. brown. >> i think it's critically important that we have an overarching vision for isr modernization. that is certainly a joint effort, attack, air, and land subcommittee had a good briefing from both the air force and army on current capabilities and modernization. the air force, in open sources i have read the 76 squadrons you are looking to expand to over the next several years, 22 are c2isr squadrons. the cocom commanders have an insatiable appetite for intelligence and information. my concern is that when we are in a contested environment, that the army may not be putting its best foot forward right now in the modernization effort. when i look at the cross functional teams, i don't see isr in there. as awe go to war, you go joint force. there will be moments where you cannot rely on the air force for whatever reason, not because you are unreliable, but because the contest is too great. there will be on operational and tactical need for isr capabilities. where is that in the army modern

>> so, thank you mr. brown for raising this issue. isr is critically important and you hit the nail on the head, how do we adapt our systems or procure future systems to be effective in an environment that is very contested with very capable air defenses in other means. isr is part and parcel critical. what comes to mind immediately is long-range precision fires in order to do deep targeting. you can look in the next generation, vehicle is considering organic drones to do type of capabilities and even down to the cft where soldiers are back packing small drones to use at the tactical level. that said, we also have an isr task force that works at the organic level, the joint and the national level to make sure we are well integrated we are pushing hard on this front to make sure that we can do this. i would be remiss as well sent you were a helicopter pilot, as a part of our future vertical lift we are looking at manned, unmanned, and not fully autonomous, for we can penetrate enemy air defenses and do unmanned with our rotary ring air
