of national parks after covid-19. also testifying at the hearing was filmmaker ken burns, who produced a 2009 documentary "national parks: america's best idea." >> good morning and welcome to the first national parks subcommittee hearing of the 11 7th congress. let me thank the witnesses for appearing on the state of our national parks. our national parks play a huge role in what we think about when we think of america. from the national mall in the east to yellowstone and glacier in the west, they hold a special place for millions of americans. they connect us with our history and the national world -- the natural world. they inspire and recharge us at a deep level. this has been a difficult period for the national parks system. frontline park employees had to change how and even if they could interact with the public. many parks services and visitor centers were forced to shutter. many seasonal employees were not hired and gateway communities completely lost their 2020 season. some of our biggest and most famous parks suffered significant

it was the minnesota national guard first armored brigade combat team who completed the first national training center rotation in a covid environment in july of last year. in january in response to the attack on the capital, we mobilize and blue over 26,000 national guardsmen to washington, d.c. in less than two weeks. using organic national guard air support and logistics, soldiers and him and from every state and territory arrived to help secure our 59th residential inauguration. while the past year has provided countless examples of the national guard to extraordinary work, today i would like to highlight just a single weekend. labor day of 2020. that week and while many were on holiday, or than 64,000 national guardsmen were on duty around the world. roughly 20,000 of the soldiers and airmen were deployed across 34 34 nations in support of our combatant commanders. more than 18,000 18,000 g their communities fight covid-19, manning testing sites to cleaning long term care facilities to working in food banks of fellow americans would not go hungry. or than 1500 for protecting the r

that so you know it's lower than what the nations in the region and the iranian nation deserve to know how i mean that's. i believe that all nations should be friends who if the relations among the nations in the persian gulf region and especially between iran and saudi arabia. are founded on justice respect brotherhood and friendship. the situation in the region will totally change when i believe that under such circumstances the regional nations will get the chance to play their historical role. of spreading peace brotherhood and security worldwide. intra regional competition and conflict will harm everyone. there will be no winners inside the region. the only winners will be the enemies of the regional states. which as a basic strategy. well you know i think the persian gulf literal states the heart. should be totally united. and their unity is quite vital for the region and the world. tell you of course the meddling of extra regional powers. has always caused some problems. and i hope the leaders of the countries act more astutely and overt differences in conflicts among themselves

work that the national park service does. i'm very grateful to the committee for asking me to come this morning to offer thoughts about the historical perspective of how incredibly democratic this institution is. >> thank you very much. senator dance. >> your documentaries helped bring to light the beauty of so many of our parks. when visitors come to montana and visit some of our great parks, often times will look at a yellowstone and glacier itinerary. as the chairman pointed out earlier, we have congestion issues in our parks and need to find ways to relieve some of those pressures. one of these ideas is to encourage visitors to think about our lesser-known parks when they look at their itineraries. how can we use your tools and knowledge to highlight and drive visitation to some of these lesser-known parks? we had a field hearing there a couple of years ago. little bighorn. >> this is a wonderful question. i'm grateful for the chance to try to answer it. i spent my entire professional life working in public broadcasting. i

so what have we done to curb the wasteful appetite, the abusive government that happens at the national science foundation since 1972? not a damn thing. here's one of my other favorites from williams proxmire's days. the f.a.a. was named for spending $57,000 on a study of the physical measurements of 432 airline stewardasss. this included knee to knee sitting and length of the buttocks. $57,000, your money being put to good use. fast forward and we spend about $8 billion a year with the national science foundation. is it getting any better? are they doing a better job at overseeing their money? i don't know. this bill is going to increase their funding by 68%. there's $29 billion in this bill for the national science foundation. so don't you think the american people deserve to know where their money is being spent? this was from their sister agency, the n.i.h. but we can't get started without talking about it. this is over $800,000 to study whether or not japanese quail are more sexually promiscuous on cocaine. i'm not making this up. $800,000 of taxpayer money to study whether japanes

cyber command and the national security agency. we built on lessons from earlier operations and honed partnerships with the federal bureau of investigation and the department of homeland security cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency, sharing information with those who needed it as fast as possible. we also worked with the national guard bureau to create a mechanism that enabled guard units to share information about incidents quickly, easily and uniformly. u.s. cyber command conducted more than two dozen operations to get ahead of foreign threats before they interfered with or influenced our elections in 2020. i am proud of the work the command and the election security group performed as part of a broader government effort to deliver a safe, secure 2020 election. cyber com is building on recent guidance from the department seeking to promote readiness, improve training and attract high-end talent. the cyberspace environment has changed significantly over the past years. to your point, chairman, even over the past 14 mon

the dc national are - - card act would give the dc mayor control over the dc national guard. we know the governors of the states and territories control their national guards. but the president controls the dc national guard. if the dc mayor had control over the national guard in january 6, do you believe the dc national guard word have been deployed to the capital earlier than it was on january 6 quick. >> yes. i do believe that. >> i think we see that in your deployment when things got out of control and the mayor was unable to send you to the capital. chief my adc rule act overrules and then federalize is the dc police department. they have the authority to federalize any other state for local police departments during protest in dc after the murder of george floyd the trump administration threatened to federalize the dc police department. chief . . . . and i thank you ad back. >> the gentlelady yields back and we are now recognizing the gentleman from georgia. he recognized for five minutes. >> thank you, madam chair. i would like to take time to comment. let me new to thi

the downtrodden. liberators of nations. americans stand watch around the world, often at great personal peril. war, conflict, death, loss, are not relics of american history. they are part of america's story. here in arlington are heroes that gave what president lincoln called the last full measure of devotion. they did not just die on the fields of gettysburg, but the mountains of afghanistan and deserts of iraq. when i walked through, it reminds me of the cost of war. hundreds of graves. hundreds through recent conflicts. hundreds of patriots gave their all. each of them leaving behind a family to live with the pain of their absence every day. i want to assure each family that we will never forget what you gave to our country. we will never fail to honor your sacrifice. each day, starting when i was vice president of the united states, i carry in my pocket a number of troops killed during the war's in afghanistan and iraq. not prox -- not an approximation or rounded off numbers. they each leave behind a community and fami

you are the richest nation in the continent of africa.question, why are you failing? well, we're not failing at all. we have got very strict health regulatory requirements in south africa. we began with the astrazeneca, though that it didn't work in south africa. we had to donate that, or hand it over, or sell it, to other african countries. what do you mean, it didn't work, minister? what do you mean — it didn't work? because a certain variant had developed in south africa and the astrazeneca from the serum institute could not work. and then we had to rely on thej&j and also the pfizer doses, and you know, the problems with thej&j. i can't talk about that because i'll get into legal problems. but now we've got the pfizer doses in south africa, i can't talk about that because i'll get into legal problems. but now we've got the pfizer doses in south africa, and it's the pfizer one, for example, that i'm going to be jabbed with. yeah, but i'm looking at a quote here from professor shabir madhi, who was involved in the astrazeneca trials. he

we recognize the national security. in my opinion, the creativity, ingenuity, and innovation of the american mind is one of our greatest assets. we must leverage that fully in this endeavor. our people, our guardians are critical to the success of the space force. we are adapting new and innovative capital approaches for both civilians and military members alike under the authorities granted by congress. in addition, the recent release of the service seeks to build the fluidity of that workforce and prepare and posture them in the service to be more agile and innovative in the future. the u.s. space force will partner with other agencies in the executive branch to support responsible behavior in space. in a secure and stable demand acceptable to all of our peaceful purposes. our service is an unprecedented opportunity, our success today not be possible without a passionate and energetic group of guardians, a partnership with the air force and defense. on behalf of general raymond, thank you for this opportunity. i look f

currently they have a little more than across the nation. from our perspective that is simply not sufficient. we encourage congress to support the funding to ensure that it can hire, train and deploy the number of personnel across the nation. the more than two thirds of all of the funding that supports the fusion centers comes from state and local budgets and they funding is another source from the initiative and grant programs. some are almost entirely grant funded. some provide operational support at the request of public safety partners including the joint terrorism task force but in some cases they have limited or denied the ability for the fusion centers to use the funds to provide the support. we should find better ways to reduce the bureaucracy and the timely manner. ina should be empowered to communicate with the grand personnel to ensure the funding is closely aligned with the needs of federal state, territorial and state partners. access to the information is critical to the successful operations of the fusion centers. they still la

she was instrumental in the passage of the national literacy act of 1991 and the establishment of the national institute of literacy to track the disparities across the country. in her words the national literacy act put into policy my belief that education is a civil right? no matter one's age. indeed. she had a particular focus on adult literacy believing their needs were so often overlooked. and that it lies at the core of multi-generational cycles of poverty and it's consequences poor health food insecurity housing insecurity civil rights issues, which have enormous potential to improve the social and economic well-being of families communities and our nation as a whole the founder of the national center for family learning said and i quote it was a hidden secret in this country until barbara bush elevated it. she raw barbara bush later launched the barbara bush foundation for family literacy in 1989 a public charity now headquartered in washington dc that is laser focused on breaking the cycle of low literacy through technology innovation mentoring and research the next slide ple

the most vulnerable. we are also at a pivotal time in our nations history. for the first time in decades the united states leadership is facing intense global competition. other nations especially china are investing vast resources into industries of the future like artificial intelligence quantum science and next-generation wireless. the united states needs to take a comprehensive approach to r&d investment in science and engineering and technological innovation to market much more rapidly. doing so requires creating engines of economic development across entire nations and more tightly integrating curiosity driven research and youth inspired outcome. the scientific pursuit of knowledge and understanding cannot be separated from the development of new technological capabilities and the capacity to breakthroughs to innovate to cultivate the industries we cannot even imagine today and inspired the domestic take challenge needed to power a country forward and strengthen the scale. we have captured a bold vision for the agency. we must advance the frontiers of e

space force and addressing the challenges the nation faces in space. year one of the space force's existence has been standing up the new service. the collaboration of congress, space force has made strides in the first year. establishing the organizational blueprint for the service, moving aggressively in the area of human capital, acquisition and integration and provided the foundation for a service. executing our missions around the clock and without fail. year two will be the integration of space force into the inner agency and with our allies and partners as we build up the service. we have completed the requirement to establish a service within 18 months, we will take several more years. we have established the first field command and completed the organizational design of the remaining two. with anticipated stand up those commands later this year. space operations command will give forces to u.s. space command and other combat commands. space systems will build world-class capabilities for our space forces and drive speed into the acquisition pro

then you get into how has the nation historically approach this. one very basic criteria that we always apply to our strategic forces was the idea that we could lose an entire leg of the triad for any reason. we tend to want to postulate sort of adversary actions, but there are also technical and operational things you consider such that right now have to be able to achieve all presidential objectives albeit with loss of flex ability with the complete loss of the leg. that's a choice that we made to -- made. to honor that standard and i have to have a triad. so that would argue for that. then it is the idea that, i'm not sure how well it's understood and might be getting a little operational, but we don't have a triad day today. what we have is a dyad, and that was a decision that we made and it's one of the most postured decisions as the threat changed at the end of the cold war so the bomber leg is not available to us, and it takes some amount of time in a presidential order to bring that back. so now what do you need day to day to deter? michael,

before being quelled by the oklahoma city national guard. in less than 24 hours, 35 city blocks were destroyed by fires, 6,000 african american individuals were detained, up to 300 lives were lost. out of the 23 churches that were located in the greenwood area prior to the 1921 massacre, only 13 of the churches survived and only three churches were able to be rebuilt after being destroyed. paradise baptist church, mt. die john and vernon a.m.e. church. it was a horrific day. and 100 years later, the residents and businesses in the greenwood district still carry on the legacy of resilience and determination. for the past few years i've been working to tell the story. for some, even some oklahomans, it's a story that they had not heard before. five years ago i started telling the story in washington, d.c., and when i told it, hardly anyone knew about it. now everyone i speak to is familiar with the story. we've pulled this story out of the dark pages of history and lifted it up for our nation to be able to see and our nation is looking at it. i

narrative by the early 1920s segregation had hardened and spread across the nation. rising nativism against immigrants non-protestants and people of color resulted in the rebirth of the ku klux klan which enjoyed a huge surge in popularity and membership in the 20s. in 1922 the tarot couple was directly confronted by white southerners idealized views of their enslaved mammies. robert terrill received a letter from mrs. j douglas chaney of virginia after the death of her 92 year old father robert's former and slaver like other whites cheney thought nothing of waxing nostalgic to her dear old mammy's biological son about how much his mother had loved her white charges cheney referred to robert's mother louisa ann coleman terrell as aunt louise anne and as my dear old mammy whom i loved as well as i did my dear mama. she was a dear old soul, and she did love us children so dearly the popular myth of the contented plantation slave was supported by whites conviction that enslaved people had no aspirations for their children if they did they were not taking seriously. thus

i understand the role the national science foundation and the department of energy and national laboratories played in the broader landscape and i support this organization. i want to focus my question the relationship between the d.o.e. and the nsf. with the birds to research and development. i think i can ask if you agree that the department of energy and national labs played very critical role in technology research felt meant and commercialization and the endless frontier act. >> before he walked in i was just talking about the partnerships we have with the department of energy in the areas of quantum and the high-performance and ensuring high-performance areas are available. so we might combat the a.c.t. to make -- the pandemic. the fantastic facilities that we have rather thin switzerland are chile. we partner with them and we look forward to those partnerships. i spoke to senator van hollen and i reached out and i said i'd very much like to talk to you and extend my partnership even more. she and i are talking about how we might work together. >> madam chairwoman if you allow me the a

you have the national mall. you have all those monuments what we call the monumental core of, washington. on the other side of pennsylvania avenue leading up to the north. is where all the people who live and work and visit and shop in the district of columbia. that's where they exist. so this site. straddles the federal part and the city part and so it has to be not just a memorial but also a park. so the commission's goal in this project was to transform this site from a park that happened to have this memorial tucked into one corner almost as an afterthought to the overall park. and make it a memorial located within a living breathing, urban park. so we walk over here. i'll tell you a little bit about what i mean. so i'm walking over toward what we call the belvedere, which is a circular area. and it occupies the original footprint of what used to be a visitor kiosk. so we'll see that in the center of the pool of the park is a large pool of water. and that's the original pool that was here. and originally that

there's $29 billion in this bill for the national science opfoundation. do you think the american people deserve to know where their money is being spent? this one is from their sister agency. but you know we can't get started without talking about it. this istu over $800,000 to study whether or not japanese whale are more promiscuous on cocaine. i'm not making this up. 800,000 to study whether japanese quail are more promiscuous. you think we could have just pulled the audience. you think we could have just said what do you think because that is sort of the answer. the answer is yes. and yet your government spent 800 grand on that and then when we pointed out no, they are here today to give the agency more money. another one that i think is quite revealing is this study is about the frog calls. half a million dollars and they wanted to know whether or not the call is different in the country than it is in the city. coming frome a state like kentucky i can tell you it is different in the country than it is in the city but nobody in kentucky wants a half mi

army reserves and my step son in law serves in the national guard. while i have not served in uniform i chose to serve in a different way as a career civil servant in the department of defense and later serving as undersecretary for defense policy. it is by the privilege of my career to work alongside and seeing firsthand the sacrifices of their families were made as well as all they have achieved when answering the nations call time and again. i cannot be more humbled and proud to have the opportunity to serve as secretary of the army and to ensure that we continue to provide the army with what it needs to succeed. title x gives the secretary of the army many responsibilities but fundamentally the job of the secretary is to lead the army, to the changing the army, to be a strong advocate for the value of land power both inside and outside the department of defense and to build strong relationships with you, congress who ultimately provide the army with the authorities and resources and needs to fulfill its mission. if confirmed, i will focus each and

my onobligation to the nation w to prevent a crisis. civil rights and even in the case of the kent state protests for the vietnam war tragic deaths. i fervently believe that they should not utilize such scenarios other than as a last resort an only when all other assets have been expended. 8,000 local and federal law enforcement officers were on due it in the direct of columbia. i was told during sessions that such a course routinely managed it's demonstrations well north of 100,000 demonstrators. many commentators misguided and contributed to the inability of the guard to respond or that those instructions would somehow enable the mob to enjoy an easy path to the capitol. that is completely false. we did not disarm the guard. the request from the mayor was for unarmed support of local law enforcement. we authorized the sporgs they requested. at about 2:30 it became clear to me that local and federal law enforcement personnel were insufficient to great the situation at the department of defense required to play much larger role in reesta
