. >> the chair recognizes mr. perry. >> thanks, mr. chairman. thanks, gentlemen, for your attendance. mr. cohen, i was looking at your organization's mission statement. it says the splc is dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry. among other things. and i would say that probably every member of this body agrees with you on that -- and those principles. where we seem to disagree is that i think for most of us, certainly for myself, i don't quantify or qualify, some hate and bigotry is okay if it's this organization but not okay if it's that organization. and it seems to me in looking at your information -- let me ask you this. why does it seem there are no left wing hate groups on your list. for example, on campus groups, like students for justice in palestine that have advocated for violence against jews. why aren't they on your list? >> well, i don't know about that particular group. i couldn't answer that question. there are left wing groups on our list. >> who are they? >> well, first, it depends, of course, on what you mean by left wing. but,

it's my pleasure to yield the floor to the gentleman from pennsylvania, mr. perry. mr. perry: i thank the gentleman from arizona. we've been entreated to claims of collusion with our government of people high in you are government with russia for over a year now. since the last election happening this very day a year ago. we've been entreated to this. so i thought i would bring some sense to this confusion about what we know as the uranium one deal. even i didn't know a whole lot about it so i did some research to understand the timeline and what exactly happened here. i want to talk to you about that this evening. on june 8, 2010, the russian state atomic energy corporation,al known as rosatom, the russian state, not some private organization, it belongs to vladimir putin, make no mistake about it, they announced plans to purchase a 51.4% stake in the canadian company uranium one. why do we care? we care because the -- this announcement had significant strategic implications for the united states since uranium one's international assets included 20% of our -- the united

mr. perry, when he was running the so-called perry process, for bill clinton, new negotiations of diplomacy with the said two things that are absolutely true. one, we should establish diplomatic relations with pyongyang. number two, there nuclear weapons and missiles are for deterrence. if i can do say one more thing about that, in the middle of the summer, the north koreans started saying, and kim jong-un said this, that they are building their deterrent toward an endpoint that is approaching soon. in other words, an endpoint that would allow them to feel comfortable that they have a significant deterrent, but they're not one to go ahead and arsenal of ice bm's and nuclear weapons. they want to be able to defend themselves. that was a clear signal finally picked up by "the new york times" yesterday, a signal that north korea would like to get involved in diplomacy once it feels that it's to turn to secure. -- it's to trent his secure. they have not tested any bonds for two months. i think the

ranking member thompson and my colleague from pennsylvania mr. perry was speaking about the crossing of the state lines for rioting and matters that you're facing now. i'm always concerned about people using disguises and masks like they did at the berkeley riot riots. we are a legislative body that is charged with creating laws to help you protect our nation. and i've always asked witnesses at hearings what tools do you need, what could this committee do, what could congress do to aid the brave agents that work for you? what laws would you like to see us create that will help you address some of these things like people crossing state lines for rioting, disguising their identities. i was the prosecutor. i was the elected d.a. of new york city for 12 years. what can we do for you to help you in the efforts to protect our nation and our families? >> needless to say, congressman, that's a question i'd love to answer for hours. i think looking down at the clock with the 45 seconds remaining, the thing i would say more than anything else, i would urge ever

mr. chairman. ms. hoffman during a hearing before this committee secretary perry mentioned that microgrids could be a solution to quickly restore electricity after future national disasters and also am interested in how microgrid technology could be used to provide power to rural areas of the country. you believe puerto rico could benefit from microgrids and if so, how? >> very much for the question. my program provides an opportunity to bring generations closer and manage supply and demand on a more local basis. puerto rico you have the generation one side of the island and the dash on the other side of the island so ultimately you'd like to be able to create a mini-grid or a microgrid that would be able to balance that in a different form but that does require a generation in the does require load management ended dance communication controls to be able to manage that on a more localized basis so you look at things such as energy storage and other generations that can be in the local --. >> would you see it as ancillary ancillary? >> ideally i would love to think about how do you build off of the existing s

mr. chairman. i appreciate it. ms. hoffman, during the hearing before this committee, secretary perry mentioned that mike crow grids could be a solution to quickly restore electricity after future natural disasters. i'm also interested in how microgrid could be used to provide power to rural mountainous areas of the country. do you believe puerto rico could benefit from microgrids and if so how? >> thank you very much for the question. microgrids give an opportunity for generation closer to the load and manage supply and demand on a more local basis. and in puerto rico you have the generation on one side of the island and the load on the other side of the island. so ultimately you really would like to be able to create a mini grid or microgrid that would be able to balance that in a different form but that does require generation and it does require load management and advanced communications and controls to be able to manage that on a more localized basis. so you look at things such as energy storage and other generation that can be meshed very well with a local distribution system. >> would you see that as exclusive of
