california and new york, there are ports around the nation such as port of lake charles, the 12 busiest port in the country in the seventh fastest growing in america. lake charles has faced natural disasters and covid head on. the port of lake charles relies on reports as a shipping channel . its main products include aluminum and other materials. it is and energy port, and significant products move through it for the betterment and survival of all america. the port of lake charles was severely impacted by the two major hurricanes that hit southwest louisiana last year. the port and associated businesses suffered over $240 million worth of damage between hurricanes laura and delta, only weeks apart. they are still being addressed today. the impact of a natural disaster combined with covid and workforce shortages -- they affected lives of every american, and we are august on that today in this hearing. the primary issue faced by my district is the slow pace of federal funding and approval for that funding from agencies like fema. it is and unnecessary injury on top of injuries. ensuring

to congestion at the port. other smaller ports have also experienced high wait times. high risk cargo has at times taken up to three weeks to complete. however, concerns persist particularly in relation to cyber security. cyber attacks against u.s. maritime targets increase 400% in 2020. as cyber attacks continue to become more dangerous, successful cyber attack against a major seaport could cripple trade and have significant implications for the u.s. economy. in addition, appropriately resourcing our seaports continues to be a challenge. we have concerns that cbp has at times turned to seaports to fund upgrades to facilities and new equipment. cbp has attempted to alleviate longstanding challenges through programs like the reimbursable services program and the customs trade partnership against terrorism. while these programs help meet short-term needs, we need to make sure we are addressing systemic challenges. seaports are also facing significant cyber threats and are critical to the american economy and we mu

the purpose of the port's strategic plan is to set our overall vision in the mission statement the port commission's vision and mission for the water front. the plan and sets the port's allocations of resources for the next few years. i am proud that the updates to our economic section of this strategic plan demonstrate coordinated strategy to address water front. it identifies foundational issues that must be addressed. it ensures an integrated approach to financial recovery and sets resourcing allocations. it holds leadership accountable to the team. and it communicates ongoing work. next slide, please. the strategic plan is a living document. it's a working document that will be updated to ensure the port's strategy. we ensure that the plan is updating other key documents. the ten year capital plan. city policies including the burton act and we ensure that the plan is designed to recognize the shift that covid-19 has caused and the port's unprecedented financial outlook as a result. to the next slide, please. why do we need an update in our strategic plan. it's very good to report th

and the port's day-to-day operations. the structural assessment program, which includes both the rsa and firpa programs provides valuable up-to-date information on the structural condition of these facilities. and the primary function of these assessments is to identify and to mitigate the public safety issues, but the structural assessment program also provides a basis for our maintenance and repair programs, the capital improvement program, and land-use strategy. and so the restarted assessment program will be back in cycle in three years, using consultants to augment our inspection effort. i'd like to thank port structural engineer peter lohan for helping to prepare this report and the slide show and for the widespread use of the color orange in these slides. thank you. and i'm available to answer any questions about the presentation. >> vice president woo ho: thank you, for your presentation. let's open it up to public comment. >> clerk: okay, we will open up the phone lines for public comment and jenica is our operato

i had a follow up on the property and port discussion. are we getting anything from assembly member ting certifying that they're selling the parcel to the fire department for training purposes? are we getting some kind of written agreement, letter, whatever that we can then submit to assembly member ting that can be part of the presentation at the legislature? >> so they have yet to vote on it so that would have to happen first and you know s i'm not sure how that would work but i would imagine that would be an action item at their next commission meeting. >> commissioner cleaveland: okay. so we'd still have to vote to approve the sale? >> yes, and the port itself has been extremely supportive of us us and director forbes has been great in having her staff work with us. >> commissioner cleaveland: great. that was my question. you said you had a class of h-2 firefighters beginning soon. how many do you expect to begin to recruit into this class? >> well we have an h-3 level two class that started yesterday of paramedics and we currently hav

union workers at the port of oakland held a rally outside city hall to protest the project. tim johns was there. >> whirling around oakland city hall, you can workers from the port of oakland held a protest against the potential new stadium. with a long road ahead of it, the oakland city council is set to hold a key vote on the environmental impact. a decision the protesters hope will result in no vote. >> we are saying the privatization of the fort which shut it down. 2000 trucks a day come into the port. >> if approved, the development would include a 35,000 seat ballpark, 3000 units of housing and 1.5 million square feet of office space. the protesters don't want any of those things and say they worry the developments could lead to job losses in more gentrification in the east bay city. >> do we need 3000 luxury condos in oakland when working-class people are in tense? many public housing. spend 800 million for working people in oakland. >> many of the concerns will be addressed says oakland mayor libby schaaf. speaking at a news conference on thursday, she says the port

shippers would not come to oakland. >> reporter: you feel the port with still thrive along with the ballpark. >> absolutely. i know we will still continue to have a growing, world-class port, and a new waterfront ballpark district. >> reporter: it has taken 5 years to get to this about. >> would drive out the black and brown working class community. if they ratification plan is what it is. warmack howard terminal has not been used as a container shipping port for years. >> with the addition of all the former army base land on the outer harbor, the part of the port with the deepest water that can accommodate the new generation of ships, the port is gaining space, not losing it. warmack devoted to certify the environmental impact report would move along the lengthy process faster, but still allows it to vote against the project down the road, it is not a final approval or binding agreement. >> this is a 20 year saga to find a home for the a's. we are running out of time at our current facility, only through 2024, and we need decisions. >> reporter: any choice, kpix 5. >>> in less than an hour,

. >>> still had a 5:00, the port okay, it's go time. team usa on the largest gig-speed network.ch means this mega fan never misses a second. it's gig-speed wifi that's “mikaela shiffrin” fast. ok, that's fast! speed's cool, but does yours block threats? yup, even for these upstairs all-nighters rocking wifi speeds faster than a gig. can your internet do that? learn more about gig-speed wifi, or get started with xfinity internet for $19.99 a month for 12 months. click, call, or visit a store today. >>> help is on the way, that could solve the major backlog at the port of oakland and boost exports. >> kpix 5's wilson walker on the plan to fill empty shipping containers with california exports. >> reporter: do you know what a reefer is? in supply chain parlance, that is a refrigerated shipping container. one of the things they will be staging here at howard terminal as they try to clean up the mess around the port of oakland. >> the idea is basically to have empty containers in a place where they are staged so that they are readily accessible to those who need them to load them up

it looks like things are improving, but if you go down to the port of l.a., where they used to have alle container ships waiting off the shore, they've changed the rules to alert those ships further out to sea to avoid the pollution. which is a great rule but you can no longer use that as an indicator. the ocean timeliness indicator tracks the actual time of the goods and that's where we are seeing data that takes longer than ever. emily: so are you saying things are actually getting worse? what does that mean for the outlook for the rest of the year? ryan: it has been getting worse and worse every week. it's hard to make predictions about the future right now. a couple of big factors are making it almost impossible. the first is on july 1 of this year, the union that runs the port, the international longshoremen's warehousing union had their contract expiring on july 1. in years past, you get slowdowns as negotiations happen and occasionally a strike. that's a big wrench that could be thrown into the machine and is very hard to predict. july 1 of 2023, the new regulations coming from t

you literally wrote a book on this topic as well we've been to the ports. se things that are factored in together ships and trucks, whatever how is all of that being passed to the consumer? are the companies eating any of it are we eating all of it? where does it fall out >> what we've seen is i've had them overlie it. as you can see, it runs in tandem trade is a forward-looking indicator if you will of inflation and a whole variety of things we have seen through the last two years prices have, indeed, gone up. i was told earlier this week not only are they seeing an increase in the ocean freight you have trucking stock up 20% normally in january and february the trucking rates are seasonally lower not now. since 2018 for the first time you've seen rates go up. so all of this is, indeed, being passed over the consumer walmart and target said they would not pass it on, but for the smaller guys, they really have no choice. >> no, they do not i want to talk about china too we know china has this weird zero covid policy which the rest of the world is looking at

the port of anchorage had this long running lawsuit against merritt on the port. the judge rules in favor of anchorage. my own view has been, we need to settle this and move on. right? i just want to get a commitment from you, there's going to be a damages award element of this. i don't know if it will be $1 or several hundred millions. i don't want somehow if it's a significant sum that they will say, well, anchorage won that lawsuit, so we're not going to provide them any additional funds. that would actually be very unfair. can i get a commitment from you on that? >> senator -- >> i don't want double dipping. they have spent -- you and i talked about it a long time on this, tens of millions if not hundreds of millions of legal fees. what i don't want is the fed saying, they won, they got an award so we're not going to use any of the infrastructure dollars to help them, would seem to be penalizing them. >> senator, thank you for your question. we have discussed this issue. i am aware of the lawsuit and of the recent outcome. however, as i am not yet in the admini

those same people, then, are integral to response efforts when they occur in the ports. at the national level, we work through a number of different means. we've established a maritime cyber readiness branch that becomes a focal point for threat information, dissemination, technical assistance in the field. we have embedded folks in cisa, we meet regularly with the sector risk management agencies. we engage with the mts information sharing and analysis center and we look for every opportunity to continue to share information and communicate threats and understand the vulnerabilities out in this industry so we can protect the mts. >> thank you, and tsa, anything to update there? >> thank you, congressman, and to compliment admiral's information, i would like to say yes, the united states coast guard has privacy in our nation's ports, however, tsa plays an important role to support the security of the maritime transportation system. to that end, we have actually developed the tsa exercise training program which started, frankly, as a port step, security training exercise pr

the flow of cargo from overseas has slowed. >> the ports are too small, too old-fashioned. ink they are going to stay with us for a very long time. david: hannah came founded company 10 years ago. the logjam has impacted the supply of chips needed by automakers and tech companies and the supply of prescription drugs made overseas. some companies have boosted their orders to offset delays. >> i do think many companies have ordered and i think it is going to come back and bite some of them. maybe the demand is not there. maybe the demand has shifted. david: that has created another issue. as companies grow concerned about the logjam, they are ordering more goods from overseas. the problem is, as those ships arrive with the cargo, where do you put it all? that creates a warehousing problem. they are opening a new warehouse facility to store more imported goods. as you can see, this is a labor-intensive industry. they are paying $18 an hour to attract and retain its workforce. inflation is driving other costs up. so the supply chain challenge continues. >> i am not seeing that w

that reaches the port of los angeles? is always a concern, and we are keeping an eye on an everyday. the american trucking association has stated many times that we are about 80,000 drivers sort nationwide. it is not a matter of not having enough drivers. we've got over 660,000 commercial licenses that have been issued in the state of california. about 18,000 of those folks are registered to do business here at the ports. we need to make these jobs better. they need to be professional. they need to attract, recruit, and retain folks in this industry and pay them what they are worth as well. guy: on that note, there is certainly a push by some of the contractors suggesting that they should be unionized. do you think that would go some way, unionizing some of these contractors, making the employees? do you think that would go some way towards improving these conditions, allowing a better dialogue and may be improving some of those shortages you are suffering? gene: i do, but it is always a choice of the worker to see how th

monitors for example, should go to the people who are securing the ports, cvp and the coast guard. if you want to keep the biological detectors after replacing with better technology then send those to the secret service that handles national special security events and to perhaps the cisa, because they're in charge of critical infrastructure and that's where we're putting these detectors. the material threat determinations that are conducted by the department are for the most part conducted by the science and technology directorate. they don't need cwmd for mina to go on. you see where i'm going. i think if you did that and returned the intelligence element, the wmd intelligence people were taken out of the office of intelligence and analysis and sent over to the wmd office. i think if you returned where they started from and send them to where it makes sense to have those assets, i think you'll have a stronger department and a stronger biodefense program at the department than what we have right now. >> well, thank you. thank you for a very comprehensive answer. i appreciate that

dan: earlier this afternoon, community activists and a group of union workers from the port of oakland staged a protest against the howard terminal project. dozens claimed the project will eventually cause the port to shut down, prompting job losses, more gentrification, and will not provide enough affordable housing. >> do we need 3000 luxury condos in oakland when working-class people are intense and homeless? we need public housing. spend $800 billion for working people in oakland. dan: the city insists no general fund money will be used on the project. in addition, the commission that runs the port unanimously agreed to enter a negotiated agreement with the a's and the city and has stated that it sees the potential benefits of this project. it has yet to formally endorse the deal. the alameda county labor council also backs the plan, saying it will create thousands of new union jobs and will provide hundreds of millions of dollars in community benefits. ama: the city of oakland is looking to a plan to relocate that police department and replace it with affordable housing under the

the port security grant program is a key program for building resiliency into ports and funding fy 21 we were able to fund 60 project the $18 million in provide such support of l.a. the opportunity to increase her assessment. i'm happy to follow-up with a brief "after words" if desired. >> thank you very much. i have one more question but i'm gonna submit this question. my time is up and i yield back. >> that concludes our hearing i would like to thank each of the witnesses for your testimony your comments have been insightful and helpful. ask for consent remain open until eyewitnesses provided answers to any questions that submitted in writing. i ask i consented the record made open for 15 days for orders or witnesses to be included in the record of today's hearing. without objection the committee stanza during and paid family leave. this one is 40 minutes. >> the biggest issues facing women.

you said the port of dover is closed. t to be close in this way? it is unusual and _ it to be close in this way? it is unusual and there _ it to be close in this way? it is unusual and there are - it to be close in this way? it 3 unusual and there are reasons behind it. i talked about the tugs earlier and they can work when winds are really strong. even though they are tiny boats, they can work to get the ferries back into position. the port does not close very often so this is very severe it will only open when it is safe enough to do so. qm. it is safe enough to do so. 0k, josie it is safe enough to do so. 0k, josie hannett _ it is safe enough to do so. 0k, josie hannett inc _ it is safe enough to do so. 0k, josie hannett inc dover, thank you very much for that. let's cross over to gatwick and charlie rose is there. it looks a little bit calmer where you are. what is happening at the airport? this morning it looked like business as usual but in the past couple of hours ago, the wind and gusts have really picked up and it

it could not be towed to the port or as, as it would block crucial trade. the 22 crew members on board were evacuated with no one hurt according to portugal, navy, now there is at least that right car, but i know we're talking about the supply chain shorter to this is the last thing they needed for their inventory to literally catch on fire. well absolutely not only do you have an inventory issue with the actual vehicles, but the problem that this could cause, obviously now the whole region has to deal with it in getting it into out of there and into another port. as they mentioned. if they would have told it to the port of his or if it could have blocked the crucial trade route, there would have caused even further supply chain bottlenecks. that sounds about right. and kind of just wraps up the last year that we have. we've seen one bottleneck after another, and it seems to be just this cascading problem that hopefully hopefully we'll get it. absolutely, and i mean, obviously distorted to it, to a certain extent was a, it could have been much worse and luck

, the naval port bear dance. now, we're here because we got a tip off from the high naval source yesterday who told us that naval personnel, ukrainian naval personnel had left their positions. here we come, spoke with the security guards on the base. and they haven't confirmed that they said that naval personnel left in the last 24 hours or so. our source is telling us that the reason why they left is because they had been warned by the russian navy. that if they didn't, then the russian navy would show the port and potentially the city. that's what we have been told. course you can see the streets are pretty much deserted. here. we will hear about a month ago. the naval base was obviously functioning. the streets were busy, it's all change seemingly in the last 48 hours. we also know that according to the man of mary awful, which is around a 100 kilometers appear, there is ongoing for the city, the mayor mario pal, saying the tangs were approaching, saying that there was an evacuation for people who wanted to lea

i recently was at the port of l.a. and saw some of the problems there. in fairness, there is a labor shortage there for a variety of reasons and covid is still a factor, no doubt. but it is a difficult problem that we certainly need to be offering real solutions and not having hearings kind of casting blame at our free market economy. thank you. i yield back. >> the gentleman yields back and i invite congresswoman dingell for five minutes. >> thank you madam chair for holding this important hearing. i do think that this is an important hearing because we all remember how early in the pandemic, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, ppe and other essentials, saw skyrocketing prices amid consumers panic in preventing the spread of covid-19. in 2020, the michigan attorney generals office received 4522 code -- price gouging complaints. and this was the first time price gouging marked the top ten -- as we continue to grapple with the impacts of the pandemic, consumers and their family are still struggling. i agree with inflation -- but they are struggling with rising

the deepwater ports act of 1974 outlines a nine step process to reach a decision which would allow a program to move forward. should those conditions be met. the maritime administration follows the law in that process and works through that nine step process to achieve a decision working with stakeholders, applicants and a number of federal agencies. should i have the honor to be confirmed, i commit to continuing affair and equitable review of that process under the law to move processes forward to achieve a decision. sen. cruz: you gave the same answer yesterday in my office that you would follow the law. my question is if these projects meet the statutory requirements, when they be approved? adm. phillips: thank you, without being in the building or having detailed knowledge of these applications and their outcomes. i can commit that we will review them fairly and equitably, and we will follow the law. sen. cruz: so you are not saying if they meet the statutory requirements they should be approved? adm. phillips: should i have the honor to be confirmed -- >> i am asking if they meet

and that's the only major port, the only major port in the country is in savannah that's doing this without a backlog. i want to credit the common sense and innovative approaches that the state of georgia and the ports authority have taken. they have been innovative, for example last year the georgia ports authority was allowed to reallocate $8 million of their funding to allow container pop-ups. this is important. my question for you, dr. richey, what are some similar actions or innovations that states and industries can take to overcome challenges we see in areas like distribution centers? >> yeah, that's a great question, thank you very much for the question. i will say that the port of savannah has been a shining star in terms of innovation over the pandemic. so there's a lot we can learn from what's happened there. when we think about distribution centers which is an area that is also [ inaudible ], there are lots of opportunities to use different types of automation [ inaudible ] to move things along and assist with that movement. i've encouraged members of congress to [ inaudible ] c

and so last year, $17 million was allocated from the port security grant program for cyber security. these are some of the areas where things that are being done to increase the capability of the commercial infrastructure while also maintaining our operational ability. >> also admiral, assistant commandant, you're responsible for the coast guard's maritime safety security programs, what do you say, which side is winning, the increased cyber threats or increased digital based safety operational enhancements, how are we doing in this fight? who's winning it? >> congressman, it's not an either/or proposition for this. it's really an all of the above. and so as the assistant commandant for prevention policy, we make sure that we bring together the best of our ability to secure private industry, but then be able to respond as well. and so leveraging our prevention and response framework, we've made sure that we've taken a multilayered approach to engaged with the industry, sharing information with them at the local level through the area maritime security committees, and conducting complia

so at the ports, we know that the time that containers are spending at the ports is down significantly over the past few months. we know that shelves are stocked only 2 percentage points below where they were before this pandemic. we know that our competition agenda is out there helping to encourage price savings to be passed along to consumers. meat prices fell. again, a monthly number. i don't want to make too much out of one month but if you get under the hood, you see where some interventions are helping. broad picture though, way more work to do. >> broad picture. do you expect inflation to remain above the 2% target throughout 2022? >> reporter: i expect inflation to come down significantly in 2022. now, more to the point, that's not just my expectation. that's the expectation of every forecast i've looked at and it's very important. basically, what the forecast tells you is that the job market should stay tight and get even tighter supporting wage growth while inflation decelerates, while it slows. virtually every forecast has inflation growing about half as fast this year as it

of near the port of odessa. or whether odessa has fallen or not. we don't know, but certainly there is a ground operation going on there with the navy having go offloaded equipment and the troops. we were also hearing from an al jazeera team that are in the south in the southeast, and that there seems to be outgoing fire. i'm where we can't confirm that we're not sure how much the ukrainians are trying to engage. the russian forces em denise pro airports again in the, in the south that the deep re poor came under rockets attack. it would seem that there is, are also a large number of reports of, of attacks in the cock heath ah, city of our honey, which has quite a, quite a large part of it in quite a large ethnic russian population. there is, seems to be a relentless aspect to this whole invasion, such a shocking night that have been warnings to people that there could be attacks. but a lot of people have become complacent because there have been so many warnings that there will be astro. yes, there will be a gr

they say they oppose the privatization of the port of oakland. the plan to use $800 million of public funds for infrastructure near the proposed ballpark. and also the planned closure of oakland schools, which they say will affect working class communities of color. later today, parents, students and teachers will rally at the oakland state building to protest the school closures. organizers say they want the state to pay off the school districts debt. they also want the state to commit to public education and not turn over some education services to the private sector. the rally is scheduled to begin at 4 30 this afternoon. the u. s is in the middle of new and troubling developments in the russia ukraine crisis. the kremlin expelled the second highest diplomat in the american embassy in moscow. reporter lauren blanchard is in washington, where president biden told reporters today he suspects russn the next several days. every indication we have is they're prepared to go into staying attacks refrain. president biden sounded the alarm bells again a

same with in the ports and the black sea.ian military has at least 10 landing ships down in that area. they will likely gain superiority of that space as well in the coming hours. >> courtney kuby at her post. thank you so much. >>> and joining us is former cia director, director of defense in the obama administration and former white house chief of staff to president clinton. thank you very much for being with us. this is a dire situation, certainly for president zelenskyy, for the government. the stated purpose, according to vladimir putin, is to topple the government and take control of ukraine. >> i don't think there's any question that the russians are now conducting a full-scale invasion of the ukraine with all of the chaos and carnage that is part of war. and the hope is that we can try to provide sufficient arms to the ukrainians so that they can put up an effective resistance. i think the fact that the pentagon is reporting that russian progress is not to the level that everybody assumed it would be is largely becaus

created distrust, but there's a brand new program that looks to change it jane wells reports from the ports angeles. >> where are you from? >> born and raised in san pedro, california we came in 1941, and got jobs on the waterfront when the war was over, all those soldiers came back home. the blacks were displaced. >> reporter: joe gatlin says, ever since, there's been a disconnect between the black community here and the community's largest employer back then, high-paying port jobs were handed down from father to son. so he sued, opening up some opportunities, but the relationships were never that great. now that may have changed. they're teaming up to let locals know there's plenty of good jobs at the paort, and how to train for them not just dock workers, mechanics, secretaries, cooks. they're planning community meetings to spread the word. >> there's an amazing saying, you don't know what you don't know. >> the vision starts at 5, 6, 7 years old. >> 1, 2, 3 all right. >> reporter: and the state of california has committed over $100 million to build the nation's first job training facil

i know they are doing with a backlog and that's the only major port, the only major port in the country is in savanna doing this without a backlog. i want to credit the commonsense and innovative approach the state of georgia and ports authority have taken to ensure this happens, they have been innovative. an example last year the authority was allowed to reallocate $8 million of funding and facilities in the pop up container ports. my question, what are some similar actions or innovations industries can take to overcome the supply-chain challenges we seek in other areas like distribution centers? >> that is a great question. i will say the port of savannah has been a shining star over the pandemic. there's a lot we can learn and what happened there. when you think about distribution, an area where there are a lot of opportunities for automation to move things along. i encourage members of congress, it takes place once a year in atlanta and what they are in chicago. the other thing, we don't see innovation moving just for people. we see assistance and jobs easy to deal with, we don't ex
