effectively recognize in the organization as extreme russia outline for us what that verdict means for mr. wagner. supporters and his organizations, well, it's effectively made in the coffin to have political organization and the network be built around the country over the last decade. really. however, this decision was widely anticipated and electing around the team had already moved to disband that network ahead of this decision. so on an organizational level, that doesn't change anything that well, those changes to now anyone who has worked with the listing around the, in the organization, become liable for some pretty hefty possible prison sentences to seek employees. as well as extending this group and very vague idea of responsibility could extend to people who donated to the organization warranty to an event even re posted or share something on social media. one of the key issues effectively ban and al moon, anyone who has worked in the valley organization from running the office in russia . and that's crucial because it comes with paul white, a crackdown head of parliamentary elections.

speaker, designated member by mrs. wagner of missouri, i inform the house that mrs. wagner will vote yes on the motion to recommit. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek recognition? >> mr. speaker, as the member designated by mr. desaulnier, pursuant to house resolution 8, i inform the house that mr. desaulnier will vote no on the motion to recommit. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from kansas sook recognition? >> mr. speaker, as the member designated by mr. cleaver, pursuant to house resolution 8, i inform the house that mr. cleaver will vote nay on the motion to recommit. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlelady from massachusetts seek recognition? ms. clark: as the member designated by ms. frankel, pursuant to house resolution 8, i inform the house that ms. frankel will vote no on the motion to recommit. as the member designated by by ms. meng, pursuant to house resolution 8, i inform the house that ms. meng will vote no on the motion to recommit. the speaker pro tempore

mr. wagner. i guess what i would say is, when i see vaccination in '22/'23, and we're today 80% of san franciscans have at least had their first round, 70%, i think, have had full vaccination. i guess i need to understand that a little bit more from a year from now that we would still be doing vaccination. now, if that means it is followup to currently what the baseline vaccines are, and there is a response that needs to be made, it seems to me like that would be much more on a dramatic scale. if we were requiring full-scale boosters or full-scale followup, that we would be going back to a model where, you know, the federal government would be providing a tremendous amount of money in terms of fema and otherwise. so i just -- when i see $14 million in general fund reserve money -- excuse me, general fund money in year '22/'23, it seems like it is kind of a placeholder to see where we're going to be a year from now. it seems much more wise, at least for this committee, that would we be having this

mr. wagner. is at that time, and that we would make those adjustments in our budget at that time, rather than putting that money on reserve as a placeholder for something that is, as you've taught us all along, dr. colfax and dr. baba, it is hard to predict how it is going to move forward. we have done a tremendous job in terms of vaccinating our population, and we're reopening much more aggressively. and certainly it is wise to be able to adjust. i'm just concerned about putting that level on money in year two when it sounds like that is more about if this were to take a turn that we were not ready for right now and cannot predict. >> so dr. babba will provide more context in terms of the provisions -- >> this is the grant money category. i'm not talking about those. it seems like those would need some. yea, i'm sorry. >> doctor: i think supervisors and committee members, it is actually -- covid is going to be with us. i think it is like with h.i.v. now, right? sustained investments are going to

mr. wagner, to that, or dr. colfax. >> i understand the point and we'll continue to work with the committee as things evolve. i mean, we have seen with this pandemic that things can change very, very quickly as we're seeing in the united kingdom right now and concerns about the delta variant. so i think that we're trying to get the right balance here in terms of being as prepared and maintain structures within the department that prepare us to protect the community as much as possible, while also recognizing that we need to make the investments wisely and that between now and year two of this budget, um, there's a long way to go in terms of our fully understanding what it will take to control and prevent a resurgence -- hopefully prevent a resurgens of covid-19. and i think that this has taught us what we need in terms of infrastructure to be fully prepared for another pandemic scenario. >> supervisor safai: so i agree with that, dr. colfax, and i see you guys breaking it down and you have some really good categ

wagner whether she has a questions that you would like to put fall to me. thank you, mr. jefferson your birthday today. april 13th has become known as founders day referring to the founding of the university of virginia. why did you work so hard to create this institution for virginia? well, thank him is wagner. i've worked so hard in order to create finally a university of virginia, but indeed not to deny. it has been my my desire from the time. i was a young man that build that effort that report to improve the curriculum at the old world college of william and mary was started when i was 30 years old in 17 and 73 and i'm changed my mind several times in that effort. but the point is as i have worked just as hard for a universal system of education here in our own commonwealth of virginia that continues to be argued to debated and continues to to fall it continues in default. so this is what makes establishing a true university the more necessary. and yes, as of these last several years particular successful in october back in 17 to set a cornerstone stone for what's be

wagner, if you will. we'd like to hear the first questions from our friends. >> thank you. dr. franklin and mr. jefferson, can you tell us about the circumstances under which you first met and what were your impressions of one another? >> would you start with that, mr. jefferson? you seem to be jumping at that one. >> well, i cannot forget my very first impression of you, doctor, because it was long before we met. >> oh, indeed. >> i had known of you it seems from the earliest days of my youth. when i had the privilege of an education, both at the old schoolhouse at takahoe plantation, later at the reverend james murray's classical academy out here at charlottesville and finally under the tutelage of dr. william small at the college of william and mary your name remained the most consistent and that is because, well, the universal knowledge of your creativity, particularly in the field of electricity. >> uh-huh. >> you were the foremost electrician across the globe, doctor, and always at the forefront of science. myself so dedicated to that study i read extensively upon what you had achieved so

mr. chairman. >> gentleman's time has expired. i now recognize representative anne wagner of missouri who is the vice-ranking member of the full committee for five minutes. >> i thank you, mr. chairman. and over here. and thank you, ambassador thomas greenfield, for your time and service. united nations was as we know created under american leadership, to enable all countries to flourish in peace and prosperity and security. after the unimaginable tragedy of two world wars, united states built a new framework for a peaceful and prosperous future. based on universal-human rights, democracy, and rule of law. the number-one principles. human rights, democracy, and rule of law. today, it appears, and has become clear, that the people's republic of china, or prc, will exploit any opportunity to roll back america's historic achievement. prc is not only building a rival system of beijing-led institutions. designed to supplant in the existing order. but it's, also, weaponizing its influence in the united nations. to chip away at international resistance to chinese communist party

mr. volcker decided to bring it out of the bring, it almost wrung a lot of us out of existence. that said, second question, as congresswoman wagnercussed the biden administration proposed more than $4 trillion in spending for the american jobs plan and american families plan of which the administration plans to finance with higher individual and corporate taxes and a global minimum global tax rate, while we should level the playing field for businesses, some argue that global minimal carpet tax rates would be disadvantageous to u.s. companies. mr. dimon, could you comment on this concern and how feasible this proposal would be to actually achieve a global tax rate? >> america would be the only country, i think in the world, that would have what you call a global tax rate. i pointed out earlier that going to 21 to 28 isn't the issue because people halfway back with the tax cuts were, but the tax increase, because of something like that, is actually four times the tax cut of 2017. there's no question in my mind at the margin, not every decision made, but at the margin, drive capital and eventually brains and r & d and investment ov

mr hancock said... and a little earlier, the prime minister's official spokesman said the prime minister has accepted the health secretary's apology and considers the matter closed. i've been speaking to barrister adam wagnernecessary for work purposes. the sun reporting that happened in early may, only their word on that at this stage. there is a difference here between the legality and the guidelines, right? yes, so, at the time, beginning of may, we were in step two, so it was still illegal to meet indoors with more than one person. the guidelines that matt hancock has said he has admitted he breached relate to hugging and kissing, obviously, which were not part of the law and changed around the same time that the law changed around the 17th of may, whichever way you look at it he has breached guidance and probably law as well. from your understanding, what are the consequences? two things, first whether any retrospective action would be taken against him by the police. i really doubt there would be. but there is potentially a series of criminal offences that have been committed if this was something that was happening repeatedly and particularly if it was happening in different places. that was what th
