mr. harper holds the, quote, terrorist organization responsible. he says, they started the conflict. and are keeping it going by seeking to destroy the jewish state. >>> let's get you the latest out of ukraine. the country is warning that russian-backed rebels have set up firing position and placed lined mines along the road to the mh-17 crash site in the eastern part of the country. international investigators say it was too unsafe to try to reach the wreckage wednesday. we know that's the fourth day in a row they tried to get there. >> very frustrating for the inspectors there. but seeing international nick payton walsh and his team did manage to reach the site. here's his report. >> reporter: the road isn't easy. past shelling, eerie separatist checkpoints. but where it leads is harder still. imputing nothing, by the horror still unresolved. 12 days since mh-17 was blown out of the sky. it remains here, a monument to cruelty. to how 298 soul, some shipped in parts away on a separatist train, have yet to find complete rest. questions left. what or who else did they love? what did t

mr. harper's question, though. when he asked about theft of an item, your inventory control is not so tight that someone could not walk dr someone could take something, rep kate it, and walk out with some, am i correct on that? >> inventory control is one of the critical controls to prevent loss or theft, but there have been, to my knowledge, no thefts reported from any of the select agent regulated labs including cdcs over the past decade. >> there was the army one in texas a few years ago. >> i'm not familiar with that. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you, mr. chairman. welcome to our panelists. the cdc is responsible for registration and oversight of all laboratories that possess, use, or transfer select agents that pose a threat to human health. responsible for select agents that pose a threat to animal or plants' health. agents that pose a threat to human and animal health like anthrax are regulated by the cdc and afis. can you tell me what gao found in the number of high containment bio labs? >> i'm not sure i u

mr. harper for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and thank you for being here today. and i have a couple of questions i'd like to ask. first of all, who is performing the role of systems integrator now? who is doing that? >> optimum. >> i'm sorry. >> my prior company. >> who has that role now? >> optimum, the firm. >> okay. i got you. some questions i'd like to ask about some reports. earlier this summer we learned there were nearly 4 million inconsistencies in the applications submitted via healthcare.gov. those inconsistents are for citizenship status or income. the failure to calculate these property could mean that millions of americans could have to pay back incorrectly calculated subsidies. so earlier this summer it was reported that there were millions of these, first of all, how did this happen? and can't the website check for accura accuracy. >> sure. so appreciate the question. inconsistencies occur because of the changes that occur in people's lives. and people that end up having more current information than government databases, so we have run last year d

mr. harper, let me start with you. where does this come down?e government right? >> let me just say a couple things. it's always important in these sorts of situations to remember that just because the government says something in a criminal indictment doesn't mean that you have proof beyond a reasonable doubt of criminal activity. >> no, of course. you can indict a ham sandwich is the old saying. >> i don't know about that, but the point is there is another side of this story and you're beginning to hear it already from fedex, one of the most important points of which i think was their statement yesterday, that whenever they got information from the government, in terms of an illegal pharmacy, online pharmacy operation, they responded immediately to stop shipping to that pharmacy. to me, the broader question goes to the effectiveness of enforcement. if you've got an illegal internet pharmacy, and i don't think anybody thinks we need those, but there are plenty of legal online pharmacies, and those ship by fedex and u.p.s., too. >> mark, let me
