ms. smith: mr. president, in a few moments i will ask unanimous consent for the senate to take up and pass legislation i've introduced to help protect women from harm and to their health. this is such an important issue to me as a senator, as a woman, and as a mother. i am pleased several of my senate colleagues have joined me on the floor to discuss this important issue, and i look forward to hearing their remarks as well. 20 years ago this smongt the food and drug administration approved for the first time an abortion pill. it did so under immense pressure from the i clinton administration. the f.d.a. recognized the seriousness and life threatening consequences that can be caused by this drug. because of the risk of harm and even death is the fd put in place rules to protect the health of women. these are known as rims because they work to mitigate the risks posed by this drug to women. mrs. hyde-smith: these commonsense rules allow a woman to see a doctor, get the drug and see how she can get tre

ms. lyle smith if you could just briefly -- are you on?>> yes, i am. >> could you just briefly talk about the state's guidelines around the recommendations they made for the number of cases in which you need to do? >> sure. >> thank you, superintendent, thank you, commissioners, for the opportunity. commissioner cooke, you're right, our knowledge of sort of transmission and what we would do in a case of a positive, in the case of someone testing positive is different than what we would have done, what we did do back in march, so really the key issue when somebody -- when we are notified that somebody has tested positive is the first part of the contact tracing is to understand who have been the close contacts of the -- when was the person there? were they there 48 hours before their symptoms started showing? so if they were there, like, they were there and then a week later they had symptoms and they tested positive, nobody is at risk because at the time they were at the site we would not have to close the site down and tell everybody to g

ms. bass. mr. smith? >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. thank you for calling this hearing. would like to just ask maybe jamie fly or any of the others who might want to respond, back in 2014 on really trumped up politically charged that tore t. give great testimony on her behalf. i introduced a bit,s and it listed people like her on politically trumped up charges. she pointed out how corrupt and for that she was harshly punished. fast forward to right now many of us have spoken out repeatedly for decades who was dubbed for years as the last dictator of europe. for a while there, it looked like he was getting traction for europe and himself. the recent crackouts and the gross mistreatment of the opposition it calling out for democrats where are we on assist acert buy jan, and is there plans to ratchet up the effort we know that r.t. is running the media, not that the once that they replaced were any better, but truly a one monopoly. >> so, again, in order to pierce th that. >> thank you for -- and it goes out -- the ten your, we were kicked out countries from could deebia wa

ms. maccleery, i don't know what you have to say, or whether mr. smith wants to comment on that. ms. maccleery: i think the warning tool has limitations. there are unscrupulous actors in the marketplace that may disregard warning letters. it is enormously inefficient for the ftc to have to track and go after bad actors multiple times. we have seen a pattern, even in supplements tinted with drugs, amphetamines, they will issue a warning letter. the company will come back with it, a slightly tweaked product. you have a small number of bad actors, and the letter of authority is to get their attention. sen. cantwell: well, we definitely agree. we were involved in drafting a new law as a related to the same on the opiod crisis. we did not put enough oomph behind the penalties. we should look at this, while pandemic when people are reaching for solutions seems a reasonable approach. did you want to add anything to that? >> i would say, i think your question like the opiate law where under section five we bring enforcement action and are titled to equitable monetary relief, but no penalties

ms. perry: no, it is a myth. it is a myth, but it is long-standing. it is partially true. for example, howard k. smith, who was the moderator of that debate, and was sitting behind the candidates, so he really could not see how they were looking on camera, he was just listening to what they were saying. he said that after that, he thought that nixon had won and then he said when he watched the rerun of the debate, he actually thought kennedy had won. but the reason that popped up was that there had been a survey done by marketing firms of people who had listened on radio. and they had said they thought nixon had perhaps won it. so i asked the viewers, you can do an experiment. you can watch and listen and then vice versa. if nothing else, just the difference in the voices, the difference in the accents between the two men. but most people think kennedy emerged the winner from the first if nothing else because richard nixon was suffering from an infection and he did not wear proper makeup, so he looked pretty bad and pretty nervous. host: 60 years this weekend since that first nationally televised pres

smith, your successor. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back. the chair says amen. and the chair recognizes the gentlewoman from michigan, ms. stevens. ms. stevens: thank you, mr. speaker. i rise today to recognize the incredible efforts of the families who have spearheaded a conservation and awareness program for thousands of beautiful monarch butterflies that began their lives as caterpillars in michigan's 11th district. before attempting the 2,000-mile migration to central mexico every year year. a couple years ago, macy, then just 8, petitioned the highland township board to establish the milk weed mile. a beautiful stretch of land along highway n-59 in -- m-59 in highland township that provides a sanctuary for monarchs. along this stretch of road, which is designated as a no mow zone, milk weed is left to grow and thrive freely, creating an ideal environment for monarch caterpillars to complete their lifecycle. each summer these conservation efforts culminate in the highland monarch butterfly festival, an annual celebration of these amazing butterflies in an effort to raise awareness of this species that has seen their

ms. perry: the names that people would probably recognize if they are a certain age today would be those who went on to be anchors on their networks. howard k. smith was the first moderator of the first debate. we also had people like frank mcgee who went on to be a moderator. and anchorman. those who were asking questions, also some of them went on to be anchors, most famously walter cronkite and john chancellor. the others, although i have paid a lot of attention in the 1960's, were still new to me. a lot of them were print journalists from the time because they wanted to have a mix between broadcast and print, and some of them were on radio networks that no longer exist, but i would say those four names were the ones who, by that time, they were household names. host: a viewer on twitter says i remember the debates as a young person. kennedy was inspirational. nixon was not. unlike modern times, there was little need to fact check trade. how times have changed. can you comment on the role of the moderator and how the immediate responded to those debates? ms. perry: as people tuned into them or even just washed one, they are impressive. even if
