mrs. fischer: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from nebraska. mrs. fischer: thank you, mr. president. along with americans all across our country, i am appalled at what has happened in israel over this last week. it's hard to watch the brutality of hamas' attack on israel. it's hard to believe that the terror hamas perpetrated is something human beings are capable of doing. last week hamas militants stormed the israel-gaza border in a despicable deadly attack against israeli civilians, men and women, children and the elderly, israelis and foreigners, americans. hamas killed person after person with no regard for human dignity. the militants seized and kidnapped almost 200 hostages, including many of our own american citizens. when civilians in small israeli storms came out of hiding, sheltering for their lives and praying they would be spared, they came out to find corpses in their streets. doors riddled with bullet holes. the ground stained with human blood. houses burning and collapsing. they told journalists the horror they felt when they stepped o

allow me, as a viewer, to read exactly what louis fischer wrote then , mr.ne of 1920. many of them could have been taken outside the soviet union, they were taken at different times of the year, this can be seen by looking on plants and people's clothing, in one of the photographs trees or shrubs with large leaves, such leaves could not grow by late spring, that is, by the date of mr. walker's supposed visit, in other photographs, winter and early background, the company that took place in 34-35 in relation to the holodomor, it quickly enough , at all, because the topic of the holodomor was present in american society, in the american press, and actively began to come to the fore again after reagan came to power in the eighties, at which time it was decided to again obtain fake information from walker and hearst, that is, a very active campaign began to attack the soviet union and it was this second resuscitation of the fake information campaign on the holodomor that led to the appearance in 1987, a book by canadian journalist douglas tottle, and fraud, fami

senator fischer: thank you, madam chairman. welcome, mr. whitaker. i have heard from stakeholders that they are facing substantial delays in the certification and operational approval that could improve aviation safety. to address this i worked on bipartisan language in the f.a.a. re-authorization bill creating a new associate administrator for advanced aviation technology and innovation. this f.a.a. leadership level position would be charged with improving how the agency works across lines of business to certify advanced technologies more rapidly and break down barriers delaying the adoption of aviation technologies. drawing from your prior industry experience, do you believe that the f.a.a. places enough emphasis on the certification of advanced technologies? would this new position improve how the agency respond to the pace of innovation? mr. whitaker: thank you, senator. i think that's a very astute question. certainly to the point. i think these new technologies coming into the agency are one of the biggest challenges we are facing. we don't nec

mr. mike rudolph, the chief technology officer from youmail. thank you so much of beingff wih us today. ms. saunders, the floor issuers yours free opening statement for five minutes. >> senator fischer, i appreciate the opportunity to testify today on what needs to be done to protect americans from robocalls. i provide my testimony today on behalf of the low income client of the national consumer law center, and the consumer federation of america. the current regulatory structure allows criminals access to americans wallets, and she cited, billions of dollars are stolen every year through scans executed over this nation's telephones. at the same time the combination of scam calls, along with the onslaught of illegal and unwanted telemarketing calls, have damaged our trust in our phones and made it more difficult for legitimate wanted messages to reach us. the sec has been trying to solve the problem -- fcc -- but to date its methods have not succeeded. emmett till's when you can see a graph of the number of robocalls and telemarketing calls and scam calls over the years and it looks like unfortunately we're about today when we were in 2019. in terms of the combined number of calls.

mr. cohen's, i appreciate your comments but i think the matter that's being discussed here is not subjective complex judgments about subtle mischaracterization in public discourse. we are talking about, for example senator fischerone of your political adversaries will fully, knowingly and with extreme realism falsely depicting you or any of us or a candidate challenging us making statements we never made indistinguishable from a realistic documentation of our speech. that's the most significant threat i think we are talking about here. in your opinion, isn't there a compelling public interest to end short of that kind of knowingly and willfully deceptive content whose purpose is not to express an opinion or caricature but it's to deceive the public about statements made by candidates isn't there a compelling interest in regulating that? >> absolutely the court would recognize that compelling interest i also think there is no argument that there is a compelling interest in fraudulent speeches as the chair noted so i think what you would find here is that either circumstance where we are talking about the sort of deep fake as opposed to the conversations about did you use a computer to create the text but when yo
