mr. collins. i will now recognize myself for an opening statement. we are in the midst of one of those moments in our nations history where confronting a confluence of crises, the way we respond to them will shape fundamentally who we are as a people. to begin with, we meet virtually today because we are in the middle of a global pandemic that has taken the lives of over 100,000 of our fellow citizens. pre-existingated inequalities, disproportionally affecting african-americans among other historically disadvantaged people. this impact reflects america's original sin -- a sin that is , recognized in our founding document, the constitution, and that is slavery. pervasive anti-black, white supremacist ideology that undergirded it and continued on through jim crow laws and today,nce to change even resulting in unequal opportunities and other consequences we are still grappling with. and tragic manifestation of this racist poison is the pattern of practice of police violence against african-americans and the justifiable rage americans feel. we have seen

mr. collins, representative collins earlier. what's curious about that report s it says even if the allegations are true, even if hese investigations were motivated by animus and not by bona fide law enforcement reasons, then there's still no problem, that's not a violation of rules or regulations. that's very concerning to me because it seems self-evidence sole motivation is animosity, that's impermissible. rule or is no regulation, then there is one missing because that's obviously wrong. ms. scanlon: so initially the investigation that occurred didn't address your underlying which was these investigations were politically motivated. it just found that no other laws were violated. mr. elias: i think that's more or less correct. it did say even assuming they were politically motivated, that which is a problem, perplexing to me coming from the office of professional responsibility. ms. scanlon: so it's kind of argument if a president has the power to pardon someone, it doesn't matter why he's if it's someone even an improper use

mr. chairman. senator collins: thank you, mr. chairman. welcome, mr. thompson. the firing of the inspectors general and the threats to expose the identifies of whistleblowers may have had a chilling effect on the willingness of whistle blowers to come forward with allegations. what specific actions will you take to reassure c.i.a. employees that they will be protected from reprisals both within the agency and outside of it if they do expose wrongdoing? >> thank you, senator. very important. very important question. i appreciate the question. the most ew, one of important aspects about the whistleblower program, is for the whistleblowers to have trust and confidence in the system. when they don't have trust and confidence in the system, then it breaks down, right? it breaks down from our perspective. it breaks down from congressional oversight perspective. and then it also increases the possibility of things we don't want to have happen like leaks. o strong whistleblower program actually helps prevent leaks. senator. but beyond that, to protect the whistleblowers

mr. president, i yield the floor. ms. collins: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from maine. ms. collins: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i'm pleased to join my colleagues in supporting the great american outdoors act, a bill to provide full funding for the land and water conservation fund and to address the deferred maintenance backlog for our national parks. under the expert leadership of senators gardner, manchin, and daines, 59 bipartisan senators have cosponsored this bill that will allow landowners, states, local communities, and conservation partners to plan for the future and to restore our national parks. mr. president, more than 50 years ago the land and water conservation fund act established america's most successful conservation and outdoor recreation program. there's truly nothing else like it. the fund was designed to ensure that outdoor recreational lands would be secured for future generations. i remember in one of my first years in the senate working with my colleague from colorado, senator and later sec

collins: thank you, mr. president. pr

mr. collins: i appreciate the gentleman for yielding. i agree with was said. justice is supposed to be blind to everything, race, socioeconomic status, blind to politics. a few minutes ago when confronted with an amendment they didn't like, they chose to deal with their collective bargaining agreements on things that do hinder and stop us from actually getting bad actors from going on. the democrats walked away. that was an amendment that the chairman didn't list because the chairman understands that is a problem that needs to be worked on. and we didn't. the bill does not do what it is said to do. some of the provisions in this bill will hurt police officers. it doesn't help but hurts. there are many things that do help and we can work on those. the speaker said passing a what occurred-down bill is wrong. i tell you what is wrong and saying passing this bill will change anything, because it will not. and stopping the senate bill from going forward is wrong as well, because the only way the two bodies will come together and find common ground to actually pass

mr. chairman. >>> thank you, senator casey. senator collins. t >> thank you very much, mr. chairman, and i want to thank all of our witnesses today for your dedication and hard work. it's really been important. the chairman raised a very important question about who pays for the testing when a person has no symptoms and no known exposure to the virus, and i would add another key question, and that is how are such such tests even accessed. these are critical questions for the reopening of schools and for the thousands of jobs and the tourism industry upon which maine's economy depends. in maine for a tourist to come and visit, that out-of-state visitor, one option, is to show a recent negative covid test. the problem is that when hotel owners in maine surveyed testing sites in ten states, they found that 90% of requests for tests for travel purposes were denied. now, this lack of access to tests is devastating for reopening maine's tourism businesses. one innkeeper told me that last year in the month of june she had an occupancy rate of 94%. this year gas 6%, so you can imag

collins. >> thank you, mr. chairman.this hearing is incredibly timely because just this morning the university in maine and of the college presidents issued a document called sustaining higher education and sustaining maine. so i know that they are watching this hearing with great interest. my first question is for president daniels. colleges and universities are economic engines for their communities and their states. in addition to educating students, the employee thousands of people, administrative staff, food service workers, custodians, faculty, advisers, student workers. when the campus is close to in-person instruction, this had a great impact in maine on many hourly workers in particular. the university of maine system employs nearly 4800 employees. my question is this. should there be different testing protocols for employees who are going back and forth into their communities and then back to campus, then for students who are living full-time on campus? and are you looking at that? >> that's an excellent questi

mr. chairman. >>> thank you, senator casey. senator collins? >> thank you, mr. chairman. dr. frist, it's great to see you again. we have missed you. one of lessons from the global pandemic is said our country is far too dependent on foreign manufacturing of drugs, diagnostics, and medical supplies. for example, about 80% of the basic components used in medicines, the active pharmaceutical ingredients are coming from china and india for our u.s. market. the the exact dependence remains unknown, since there's no api registry. what happened is just about the time the covid-19 epidemic hit the united states, india stopped exporting 26 apis and finished drugs. the c.a.r.e.s. act inclusions portion that i introduced with senator tina smith, the med-sac, that requires greater reporting, as well as redundancy plans interneded to deal with shortages. but are there specific incentives that the senate should consider specifically to encourage domestic manufacturing, including perhaps tax incentives or greater investment in fda's emerging technology program? >> thank you, senator. i thin

mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from maine. ms. collins: thank you, mr. president. mr. president, i want to commend the senator from maryland, the ranking member on the senate small business committee, for bringing this legislation forward this evening. i also want to commend my neighbor from new england, senator shaheen. senator cardin and senator shaheen along with the chairman of the committee senator rubio and i crafted the paycheck protection program that has literally been a lifeline to small businesses and their employees throughout this country. more than 4.8 million loans have been made under this program. these are forgivable loans, mr. president, as long as the small business, the employer uses the percentage that is established now at 60% in order to pay for his or her employees. then the loan at the end of the day is forgiven. and this has made the difference between a small business shuttering its doors forever, laying off its employees permanently, and surviving this pandemic. small businesses do not want to lay off their employees. their employees are th
