mr. carter, for five minutes. mr. carter: thank you, mr. chairman. i want to echo your comments earlier about what an outstanding panel this is. thank you for the important work you do. it's extremely important to our country and we appreciate it very much. dr. bright, i want to start with you. being, of course, from georgia, i am somewhat concerned, even still, about the move of the strategic national stockpile, the management of that from the c.d.c. to aspr. i just want to be assured, again from you. i met dr. redfield and think he's doing a great deal. dr. schuchat and i worked together. i can't say enough good things about the c.d.c. and outstanding work they do for our country. i just want to make sure they're still wanting to have the opportunities to stay involved and to be involved in the medical countermeasurement, development, everything that goes along with the c.s.n.s. dr. bright: i echo your comments about the c.d.c. and the great work they're doing. many people don't know, i got my first start in science at the c.d.c. as a fellow. i com

mr. carter: hello. buddy carter from georgia. currently the only pharmacist in congress. i have a unique perspective on this particular situation, having practiced pharmacy for over 30 years. i saw this epidemic evolve. i saw it evolve over years. i've seen the impact it has had. i've seen lives ruined. i've seen careers ruined, families ruined. i know the impact that this can have. i want to applaud chairman walden and the committee for the work that they've done on this particular subject because it is important. i've always described it as being two different components. one is, how do we control the drugs? how do we control the number of pills, prescriptions? secondly and perhaps more importantly, what do we do to help those 2 1/2 million people out there who are addicted? i'm here to tell you today, if you hearing the sound of my -- if you are within the sound of my voice and have an addiction problem, reach out to your physician, pharmacist, rent, family member, tell them i want to get better. i need help. we need you and we want you to get better. this legislation,

particularly whilst still it says have not ceased in afghanistan mr ahmed the time in the incidents that mr carter is talking about two years ago was when tensions and tempers were running high following deadly attacks in pakistan and both you and mr savant have spoken about how afghan refugees have been used as a political tool between these two countries how can you make sure that this doesn't happen again. there is a road there could be this is not a new situation if you have been the better at it from various parts of the world and that as it is a method to do it the issue is that how do you can take it as it is that a road map on the afghanistan stable and how it managed one wants to get it implemented on its site if one government gives losing security of its districts and districts keep falling today short taliban every now and then in a month like three to four how would that framework be implemented so the primary question is is afghanistan safe enough for any refused to come back and the second to question is that whether pakistan is financially is strong enough to deal with the presence

there i am at the end -- you have mrs. carter. and mrs. ford. and my mother. i was the chair of the president's advisory committee for woman. i got up on the podium two. it was very exciting. i knew we were doing something great. that me tell you i was the first lady of virginia later. i asked hillary rodham if she would join the committee. we had talk about women. hillary said she had just had a baby. and thank you so much. i just think i have to stay home and take care of my little girl. and i thought she has -- mind you i had been chosen for this job. because guess what. i was safe. i was -- president carter had had to shuffle off the position. but i had just had a baby too. so they couldn't accuse me of being any mothering. my husband was lieutenant governor. his staff came to him and said you know this will not be good for your chances running for governor. if your wife heads up this women's board. then to make it even worse i got involved with era. which i'm sorry to say did not pass it did not make it. and virginia. we almost did. in the last minute thi

mr carter is supposedly here on a private visit...a to build a deal in 199a. bill clinton visited 15 years later, seeking to improve relations. the result on both occasions, false dawns. don't forget also that north korea has a record of breaking agreements, of concealment. to put it bluntly, of cheating. but i would argue that the desire to make north korea great again will mean that kim jong—un will want to have that opportunity to find an opening, and that's why i think international leaders, including donald trump, would be wise to take that opportunity and develop it. since the korean war itself, of course, so much has changed. and yet the problem there has just festered. time and again, efforts to resolve it have come to nothing. one thing the archive does show us, though, through its absence, is any picture of a serving us president meeting a serving leader of the democratic people's republic of korea. as this summit approaches, we're entering uncharted, unpredictable territory. david eades, bbc news. an investigation by the vi

mr. carter: mr. speaker, i rise today to recognize savannah, georgia, police department patrol officer anthony christy who lost his life in the line of duty on may 25 at the age of 37. he's remembered as a passionate person who was deeply devoted to his fellow officers and community while simply loving his job. before joining the police force, officer christy served in the united states navy where he earned a number of accolades, including the navy good conduct medal and the global war on terror service medal. he carried this excellent work with him from the navy over to the police force. in one mission he rescued a child who was abducted and abandoned in the woods. his fellow officers always wanted to work with officer christy because of his calming presence and their respect for his work. officer christy's passing is a reminder to us all of the danger officers must endure when they go to work to keep us and our families safe. i encourage everyone to thank our first responders on a daily basis. not

michelle obama, mrs. carterthe first ladies going back to eleanor roosevelt, she's weighed in as well. what is going on here? >> well, a real exaggeration. and nazi germany, they were keeping the jews from leaving the country. this is a serious matter. we need to think it through and be rational and thoughtful about it. we want to allow asylum for people who qualify for it. >> what do you make of the response. it struck me as odd that the only difference he would come up with between this policy and nazi germany is that nazi germany was trying to keep jews from leaving the country. >> the nazis created unjust laws and accused the jews of breaking them and jailed them and shipped them to concentration camps. i found that fairly nonsensical. but this is what happened in nazi germany, to some extent. the dehumanization of people, and the creation of unjust laws, gave them permission to put people in concentration camps or in this case in the cages. and so i found that statement bizarre. >> father martin, i apprecia

mr. carter: thank you very much.
