that's what doe, oe and five national labs led by oregon national laboratory are working daily to provide grid modeling tools to puerto rico. the national lab is combining their skills and capabilities in order to help puerto rico to plan, to operate and to rebuild a more resilient grid. these models help grid operators better predict where the highest risk of power disruption could be and determine the potential impacts on critical power lodes that support puerto rico's public hemalth and safety infrastructure. the hope is the island will make investments before the hurricane season. battery storage, microgrids and strategic power reserves. the partnership between the federal government, the national labs and industry has the ability to transform systems. as we continue supporting research i would like to learn more about how doe can help our understanding of systems. i want to thank our witnesses and i look forward to a positive discussion about grid modernization research. i now recognize the ranging member from texas for an opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairman, our distinguis

industry in the interests of national security. this proposal has been roundly criticized by a wide range of trusted, independent experts, including wall street journal editorial page as poorly justified and legally dubious. our utilities, states and researchers do the hard work of hardening our energy infrastructure to cyber security threats and national disasters. meanwhile, the trump administration is inventing emergencies to bail out coal and nuclear plants while ignoring the real problems. i'm sure the white house views this legal loophole that's surfaced in the leaked memos as an easy way to try to fulfill campaign promises which is very bad and very unsound when it comes to energy policy. however, the real impact has not been thought through by the administration. it would wreak havoc on our energy markets and create a number of misaligned results. as climate change becomes more intense and damaging to the electric grid, this administration wants to dress the problem by offering financial bailouts and picking winners and los

cherokee nation v. georgia -- this is a case over the seizure of indian land and removal. -- the have been cherokee nation is now being excluded from their land and being moved to oklahoma, and they are suing. the united states supreme court refuses to hear the case, because they argue that indians have no legal standing in the united states. so this is exclusion from the people. indian nations as nations are separate, they are not part of the people. nationsow the indian are created, they are placed under the protection of the united states, but in fact they cannot sue the united states because they are not members of the people. this creates a conundrum in which there is little way out legally. lands are being separated from them legally, yet they cannot access the law that is doing this. because they are not part of the people. think about the difference with adjacent. -- jason. he can go out and settle lands, and he gets legal claim to them, but native americans are classified as other nations. and

academia is also on national research. xas tech has gleam facility that works to develop power technologies and add vance next generation delivery technology. gleam focuses on when the battery storage and micro grid technologies that will all encompass the electrical grid of the future. advanced grid technologies can have a significant impact when the grid is faced with weather related event that is can threaten reliability. this month brings the official start of the 2018 hurricane season and last year communities in my home state of texas, as well as florida and puerto rico lost power. modern grid technology in texas such as the use of smart meters were able to identify power outages that could help restore power after hurricane harvey. fortunately while they have made progress rebuilding technologies, there are still communities in puerto rico without power. that's what doe and oe and five national labs led by argon have grid models tools to puerto rico. the national labs are combining their skills and capabilities in o

butan hours were nations, inferior to other nations. they are lesser nations, which are unfortunately lodged in the united states. this is going to be a conflict you're going to have to resolve. you have to somehow make indi ans go away, because their presence in the current state is not tenable. altogether because they cannot coexist with whites. ais is about race to certain extent, but think about this jeffersonian vision of the legal order. if you have this notion of a country formed on plots of land that are private property, it is harder to envision indian nations within the united states. it also makes indian presents within the united states -- precense within the united states problematic within the legal order. not on the ideas of republicanism and self-rule not extend to indians, but indians are dangers to the project of the united states. a different organization rooted within the united states is problematic, and that has to be dealt with. indian nations are under the protection of the federal government. we are moving them

and that's the contradiction common european policy is developed and decided on by the leaders of nation states over to . we've got to get away from that if we want to see a european republican group most of the officials and european commission are highly qualified to speak several languages they study to top universities and they came to brussels out of idealism because they want to work on the european project because they really are very qualified and they come up with sensible policies their comments are going to they're blocked by the heads of state and their national self-interest this bright yes and the european council to see officials draft intelligent policies commission insiders call these draft sacrificial offerings because when they were sent to the council they're torn apart because that's their view that's what has caused this crisis that's the basic contradiction . and it's also why we failed to find solutions to many of our problems and failed to create the legal framework we need to be in member states or others always against this or that out of self-interest. leaving

in cyberspace compared to other nations.not meant to be discouraging, it is reality when you consider the cyber domains. we have unique weaknesses compared to let's say russia or north korea. asymmetry, every nation has to deal with asymmetry. you would rather take the penalty shot then play goalie. i would anyway. it seemsmore interesting to do that. that is essentially it's. on offense, one person can creatework for millions of defenders. when you look at the target zone in the u.s., it is the biggest target zone of any other nation. and the most divided target rvic target service. have an economy that relies on the internet and our infrastructure more than any other country. the s symmetry is broader -- asymmetry is broader here for us than any other nation. a few weeks ago i felt guilty saying this because it was taken out of context. i have said for years. if we had in the cyber domain, war, you can go to land or sea. let's just have a war in cyber. is all the weapons worked and all russia's weapons worked, we lose beca

we use the national security issu to put tariffs on automobiles, for instance. all of a sudden another country can do the same. so my amendment is one that, by the way, is supported by 14 senators. it's supported by senators on both sides of the aisle. let's take myself out of it. these are senators that are very well-respected senators with a wide range ever ideologies. as a matter of fact, this probably is the most cosponsored amendment that has been put forth. i have been really proud to be able to work with senators who care deeply about our nation. they just want to make sure that we as a congress perform our appropriate roles. making sur that if a tariff is going to be put in place under this very unusual waiver that has never in the history of our country been used as it is now being used by this current president, that we have the ability to at least say, have a say in this. it's not unlike the president yesterday going to singapore and kphaoegt -- meeting with kim jong un. what they us is they're going to negotiate through a process that hefully cause t

be a national organization. at the beginning the national child labor committee favored state-based regulation. they thought of you exposed the problem in every state brought in child labor laws that you would get a solution to the problem. eventually the child labor committee in 1910 comes to advocate federal legislation. and they achieved lobbying successfully the couple child -- the two national child labor laws to be introduced because they believe that the longer states could compete, that would push the age that children work. those ended up being struck down by the supreme court as unconstitutional. and in the 1920's, the national child label -- child labor committee lobby for an amendment, right after the adoption of women's suffrage and provision. they are unsuccessful. it is not really into the late 1930's and fdr's second term that the federal government finds the power to pass some sort of legislation that will affect all children nationally. susan: what ground the supreme court find them unconstitut

a growing economy is key to our national security. foreign policy experts from both sides of the aisle agree that our national policy begins with a strong economy. it is important to have world class education, transportation, research, development. as michael moral former director and deputy of cia stated on february 28, 2016, health of a nation's economy is the single most important determinant in its ability to protect itself. this budget cuts education research $231 billion, cuts transportation $311 billion, eliminates block blantsz, and foreign aid by morehan $7 billion. mandatory spending which deals with veterans benefits and services and does nothing for the young people, 3 million of them, who are engineers, lawyers, doctors, people in the united states military who are daca recipients tan others waiting in line. it undermines diplomacy and foreign aid. and for example the debacle of the g7 and rude comments made internationally by our commander in chief, there is nothing that is in the budget that will have us collaborating

threats to our great nation. the dangers have never been greater. the need for this defense, particularly in areas and domains where we are potentially at a disadvantage, like cyber, is critically important. the united states is the strongest and greatest nation in the history of the world. militarily we have no peer, but other nations are rapidly advancing in many of the spaces and domains where our advantage was secure -- in undersea warfare and space and cyber and robotic combat, we must invest. and we need to invest not only in the hardware but in the people -- in the men and women who fight, who put their lives on the line, who wear the uniform, equally in the men and women who make the arms and equipment and weapons platforms that they take into combat. they should never have a fair fight and the defense industrial base requires skills and training so they can make the submarines and helicopters and joint strike fighters that we do in connecticut and in states around this country. the men and women who make

so that's our national security threat. that's why we need to hit my constituents with a tax when they choose to buy those kinds of steel that the canadians happen to specialize in and americans don't. this makes no sense at all. and finally my last point, so look we have sincerely held difference of opinions on this. why can't we vote? isn't that what the senate is here for? let's debate this. let's consider this and let's have the vote. i didn't think that the purpose of the senate was to avoid votes that people think are tough or challenging or that they even disagree with. i fully accept disagreement. i don't expect a unanimous agreement on the outcome on the policy. but why in the world is this a body that can't have a debate and vote about something as timely, important, and relevant as this? >> madame president? >> senator from tennessee. >> i will be very brief. i know the senator from ohio wants to speak, and the senator from wyoming has been waiting. people in our nation are being hurt today. americans are being t

we're a nation of refugees. we're a nation of immigrants. we're a nation of exiles. we're a nation of former an cess ancestors -- ancestors of former slaves. we're profound sum of those parts. we made mistakes. but we have answered the question of who we are. by showing our values. that's why the united states has become known throughout the planet earth as that beacon of light and hope. i've traveled around the globe with the privilege of a senator and i see the way that people look at this country. i see the way that people try to model their behavior after ours. i see the way how we talk about democratic ideals, democratic principles, how we try to talk about human rights, how we talk about human decency, how we are held up as a model. and this is why the americans from across the aisle, across religions, across the political affiliations, from across the country are speaking out. i've seen conservative christian evangelicals, conservative catholics, republican colleagues of mine, stand up and speak a moral truth about our nation that this behavior is un-american.

still nationalism is on the rise in europe and why do you think that is i need the four hundred three is the system pretty good has to do with the system as long as we only have national elections to legitimize politicians and policies it's going to continue like to listen to me of. if this is you. know that they are elected at the national level this is nuts and i value and i mean all of you just right wing populists and right wingers i mean centrist to the very least in this contest to meet the v.a. all know that they have to continue to claim that they are defending the interests of their respective countries even though that's a mere fiction because if they didn't they might lose their jobs they think and you see that national self-interest is rooted in the system but doesn't it also have to do with disruptive phenomena like digitalisation and globalization always searching for a group identity a sense of homeland doesn't that also contribute to nationalism invokes the not so good. i think that's a pretty shallow explanation for nationalism you can have a sense of belonging and ho

but this nation's transformation as an indispensable nation, a necessary nation was not crafted by military might alone. it was our efforts to build up international institutions and norms aimed at fostering democratic ideals and free market principles that truly secured the global leadership that some would now squander. i believe president reagan best described the importance of this broader american role when during an address to the british parliament in the depth of the cold war he said this, quote, our military strength is a prerequisite to peace, but let it be clear we maintain this strength in the hope that it will never be used. for the ultimate dermt -- deter nant will not be bombs or rockets, but the test of wills and ideals, a trial of spiritual resolve, the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish, the ideals to which we are dedicated. by 1945, the united states contributed half of the world's economic activity. and in 1991 we emerged from the cold war as the world's sole super power. the soviet union was in a glorious free fall. eastern europe was squinting into the light of lib

national security. this is not an isolated problem. director wray said the bureau is monitoring universities from virtually all of its 58 field offices aos the nation, not just in major cities. so it's not just new york or san francisco, chicago, los angeles, dallas, houston. it is all across the country. approximately 350,000 chinese students are enrolled at u.s. universities. 350,000. that's 35% of all foreign students in the united states as those numbers suggest, there is ample opportunity for mischief. most -- and i want to emphasize the word most -- most students and visiting scholars come for legitimate reasons, and we welcome them. we should welcome them. they come here to learn, share our culture, and contribute their talents to the united states. i think that our educational system here in america is one of the greatest elements of our soft power, where we invite foreign students to come to study in our colleges and universities and learn more about who we are and to learn about our values and to take those back home and to b

duty to authorize funding for our nation's military and update our national security policy. as part of the bill, a bipartisan amendment to reinstate sanctions against chinese telecom giant z.t.e. passed as well. although many have probably not heard of z.t.e., americans of all stripes should be cheering this news, because in the views of many experts, if we allow z.t.e. into this country, china and its government will use our phones to spy on each of us, our companies with their great technology, and our military. that's why so many people are against z.t.e. being allowed into this country, and in my view the same would be true of huawei, the other big chinese telecom company. z.t.e., backed by china's government, has flouted u.s. sanctions and lied about it. the f.c.c., the f.b.i., and the pentagon have all issued stern warnings about the national risk posed by z.t.e.'s technology. allowing the sale of z.t.e. technology in the united states could allow china to spy on every american's private information, on american businesses, and even on our military. it's a security ris

sure, he is the leader of our nation. but once he completes those negotiations, if he's going to use section 232 of the trade act, we believe it should come to congress as was laid out by the senator from pennsylvania. so with that, with that i ask unanimous consent to set aside the pending amendment and call up amendment 3091. the presiding officer: is there objection? a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from ohio. mr. brown: i reserve the right to object. mr. president, my colleague raises concerns about the effect of retaliation or tariffs on our farmers and others. i couldn't agree more. but we should not pit farmers against steelworkers. only a few days after canada -- candidate trump became president trump. one of the conditions, one of the add among missions if you -- admonitions, if you will, you don't play off one industry against another. you don't play off agriculture against autos or steel or chemicals or anybody else. but we need -- it benefits all americans. and i think my colleagues

it is our choice as a nation, as a matter of national policy, as to whether or not we allow investments of any magnitude and scope by china in this country. mr. gallego: not to cut you off, but my point i have made is that you are all describing defensive protocols and methods. it doesn't really matter to the chinese or to our foreign adversary if they know they can get around our defenses, and there is no consequences. so what are we actually doing to change the rationale, the calculations that they are going to actually do these types of things that ostensibly are illegal? what is our pushback? mr. schinella: obviously, the administration's section 301 investigation, the chinese intellectual property theft would be an example of that. i think more broadly if we think about the offensive measures we can take from an industrial based perspective, what are we doing to promote our own industrial-based capability. i think that, from a dod perspective, starts with the recognition that, going forward, we have to not only remain the sole developer for military applications but reform the acqu

this is the kind of nationalism that when you then this is the kind of new nationalism we embrace. it's not nationalism of the race or ethnicity but an american nationalism built on a commitment continuing the work of forming a more perfect union a union of many races come many faiths and many points of view by one people committed to equality of opportunity in protecting our god-given rights and american nationalism that doesn't view america just as a piece of land shared by 326 million individuals but rather families and friends neighbors and co-workers and fellow citizens with equal rights under the law but also fellow citizens with the responsibility to each other, and american nationalism in which we should always try to be our brothers helper and american nationalism that understands it is not possible to have an america that is good for some of us that is not also good for all of us. in conclusion let me say my journey over the last seven years has provided me with the benefit of the router perspective, perspective that comes from meeting with new people and learning new thi

is the national team the best of the nations playing here yet but my question was different when you have thirty eight games to play during one year you can gradually put yourself on the map but when you have three games ok and then the playoffs that you like for us pressure is a not talking of course who is a process is so condensed of course is so compact a bit and you need to deliver one or two performances to qualify best you can do the thing is. everyone how the same goal everyone have the same. how you say that and with the victory thing is the only few remain. so when i watched a football player some of them are like very focused on a pitch and then there are others like an el nino or like always smiling like little kids and within me i always say like i wonder what's more important to be like super structured like i don't know the germans or have like this kid like late in you that makes you play the one of the best what was what do you think is more important to have this kid in you or to be super structured or that he would bomb. this is the value you know that you need to

now, admiral mullin said july 6, 2010, the greatest threat to our nation's security is our nation's debt. this is an issue that deserves a better effort. we have given it good efforts. let's give it a better effort and give it our best effort. to get this spending under control. he reason, with thighs discretionary funds, we say, let's do it with the across the board cuts, because across the board spending reductions work. it has been proven by many of our states where democrat and republican governors have made across-the-board reductions in order to get budgets in balance. it's done by cities. it's done by counties. it's done by the private sector. it is done by families. it is time for us to engage the bureaucracy and say to them, find one penny out of a dollar and help us preserve, help us preserve our freedom for future generations. i reserve the balance of my time. the chair: the gentlewoman reserves the balance of her time. does any -- for what purpose does the gentleman from idaho seek recognition? mr. simpson: claim time in opposition to the amendment. the chair: the gentleman i
