mr. hickenlooper: thank you. standing here listening to my distinguished colleague from alaska, it's hard not to be angry at what we as a country did and we're here today to reckon with this disgraceful part of our past. the truth and healing commission on indian boarding school policies in the u.s. act is the first attempt by the federal government to formally investigate and address this horrific period in united states history. this legislation and the truth that it will un-earth is an essential step toward healing. now, from the early 19th to the mid-20th century, the united states government established 408 federal boarding schools across the united states. now these schools were created for the purpose of stripping native american children of their language, their religion, their cultural identity. in the over -- in the over 100 years that these schools were in operation, our government took an estimated 100,000 native american children from their homes and from their families. an estimated 40,000 of these

hickenlooper: thank you, mr. chair. you covered this in terms of the cost, you know, the diagnostic tests that are leading drivers of the accumulation of this debt. so i think the health care price transparency act put forth by chairman sanders and senator braun who is a co-sponsor, but the health care price transparency act requires all negotiated rates and cash prices to be published for all shoppable health care services. i guess i'll start with the doctor el-said. how do you think transparency measures in this bill help? what role can that play in addressing the cause or creation of debt? dr. el-said: it plays an important role and i shared my story about needing a surgery for a hernia and that's the kind of shoppable health care that applies to. i do think we need to be thinking about it in comprehensive inclusion with care for the kind of health care that a lot of folks -- payment for the kind of health care that contract messak takes care of and is not shoppable and has to be done at the edge of real risk and is

hickenlooper: i appreciate that, and i would argue that process is uniquely american and critically important. mr. mills: it is. sen. hickenlooper: we do not want to eliminate it, but there are ways when we look at something like this that, really, both sides, republicans and democrats, everybody has an alignment and self-interest in getting things built more rapidly to address this energy challenge we face. i think it is time to relook at the processes, make sure people's voices are heard, there is fairness in how decisions are made. but we can do it more quickly. i yield back to the chair, the man must be respected, who always is seeing both sides of the fence. chair manchin: let me say to all of you, thank you for your expertise that you bring to the committee. i think it is something we need to continue to raise the alarm, because i can see a real catastrophic situation happening in our country in not being able to meet the demand. no matter what side of the political fence you're on, and it is a shame that politics divide it. there is one team, and every american expects to have dependable,

hickenlooper. >> thank you, mr. chair.e been looking forward all day to this is because it's such a great group appropriate i appreciate all of your time in contributions. mr. fain, great as you can. appreciate all the work you did to bring up a 40 week in negotiation but but a good f on your shoes because that sister with dr. schor whose undergraduate student was a graduate student and summer she has not aged, where i have any think there's an injustice or that need to be pointed out. but appreciate all your work and research over all these years on the lies people lead in the various types of jobs. you talk a little bit about the different ways that people have a shorter workweek, taking part of everyday or a whole day, a time each month off. what are some of the pros, and again concise because i get some questions, but rosen cons on the? >> yes, the majority in our studies, and thank you by the way, really wonderful decision, arguing full days off. so over 90% of our studies arctic fold is off and that seems to be a muc

mr. moore: we are going to continue to work with you on that. >> senator hickenlooper. >> thank you for being here, i appreciate your affection for our forest and commitment to it which i share. i want to reiterate and fixed bankers in various parts of the national forest and we have got a proposal in with the recreation that fixed anchors to remain in place. and i think we are going to get it reconciled. there are two sides to this i look at the cost to move fixed anchors and you have to go through every national park. it does president seem to make that much sense. a strong sentiment that way throughout the senate. let me ask you a question about housing. many of the smaller towns across the west and to a certain extent are having housing issues and i think local communities have asked whether we can talk to the forest service about doing joint venture partnerships housing for employees of the forest service but also local teachers or nurses, people that are not compensated to afford housing where they live. is there an opportunity there? mr. moore: absolutely. this is a crisis facing ameri
