that come from usda. we're talking about highly qualified laboratories. >> sew theo the point is, we could improve this model. we could have destroyed that flock of chickens within a day or two, within your guidelines, 24 to 48 hours, rather than seven days. again, just increases the likelihood these outbreaks won't be contained. from my standpoint from the usdaf we have to write a law or improve regulation, there's a real top priority of what we ought to do as federal government to speed that process to limit the damage. would you agree with that? >> yes i would. >> i have plenty of other questions but i'll turn it over to senator carper. >> you'll see our colleagues are coming and going. we serve on three four five committees and others have hearings going on as well. i'll be slipping in and out today. senator tester from montana has asked to use a little of my time. i'll yield to him and recover my time. >> appreciate that. very quickly dr. clifford, is there a vaccine for the avian flu? >> yes, sir, t

working together with the usda we follow the guidelines the usda outlined for eliminating this diseasel 110 farms were warned teen, appraised -- were quarantined and appraised. turkeys were composted in the barn and when that compost material was taken out of the barn the barnes had to be cleaned and disinfected, which is quite a job. then the environment had to be tested before we could release quarantine. neighbors with poultry and to be identified and tested, and we tested during the outbreak over 1000 flocks for high path ai. over the past few years, the development of a scientific system to allow for movement of poultry in control areas during the heightigh path ai outbreak. the economic impact could have been much greater if we hadn't been able to move poultry and poultry products out of the controls zone. minnesota issued 4000 permits within minnesota and out of minnesota. we are working hard with our partners to get all the effective farms back in business as usual. of the 1010 10farms depopulated, 45 are no longer infected, 38 have been restocked. all of the control zones have

working together with usda we followed the guidelines that usda outlined for eliminating this disease. all 110 farms were quarantined, appraised and depopulated. after depopulation turkeys were composted in the barns and when the compost material was talk n out of the barns they had to be cleaned and disinfected, which is quite a job, and then the environment has to be tested before we can release quarantine on the farms. neighbors with poultry had to be identified and tested and we tested during the outbreak tested over a 1,000 flocks with high path ai. over the last ten years, usda funded development of a scientifically based permitting system to allow for movement of poultry and poultry products in control areas during a high path ai outbreak. they did this and the economic impact could have been greater if we had not been able to move poultry and poultry products out of the control zone. minnesota issued 6,000 permits of movement of poultry and poultry products within minnesota and out of minnesota. we are working hard with our partners to get all of the affected farms back in bus

what actions is usda taking to address this? >> the first thing we're doing congresswoman is trying to make sure people understand precisely what is and isn't the rule relative to matching and what power the usda has in potentially waiving the matching requirement. the 50% match requirement i think that the misunderstanding is that it has to come from the state. it doesn't have to come from the state. it can come from other sources and i think that is part of what we need to get information out to the 1890s to make sure they understand there are other options relative to the matching requirements and then on case-by-case basis to determine whether or not a waiver is appropriate, which we do from time to time. so i think if people understood there is a multitude of ways in which that match can be reached, then that might aleve some of the concerns and open up some of the additional resources. the only thing we're attempting to do is we asked the 1890s to put together in light of the 125th anniversary of the act creating them what

we have four response teams within usda. we are probably in a worst case scenario probably needing ten response teams to prepare and maybe even more. >> outside the current research that is being done what additional research is needed in order for the industry and government to combat this virus long term? >> there are other threats around the world besides just the h-5. for example in mexico in the south ongoing outbreak in the central part of the country, high path virus and also throughout a large part of the country a low path. those are continual threats that could enter the u.s. our laboratory as part of a global effort to control and eradicate high path works with the mexican government on these. to coordinate this research with our partner to the north. on research that is needed there is a wide variety of research needed for control programs. right now we are highlighting having vaccines prepared and ready to use. also there is research in other areas which is maintaining rapid diagnostic tests that are sensitive a

more than 400 usda staff and over 2,000 usda contracted personnel have been working around the clock to control the spread of disease and help them recover. all told usda is committed over 500 million an amount more than half of the yearly budget in responding aggressively to this outbreak. we can and will request additional funds should we need to. we have carefully studied and assessed the epidemiology of this virus as well as response efforts in conjunction with state and industry partners. we know that wild birds brought this disease to the western united states in late 2014. as the birds and the virus moved into the midwest we saw point source introductions as well as farm to farm spread of the virus. although we cannot pin point a single specific practice that caused this, our epidemial report we talked at length with state and industry partners about our findings and the need for all of us to think more comprehensively about virus security. we agree we are in this fight together. we have a shared interest in eradicating the disease and getting the poultry industry back on its

i know that usda deployed people up there quickly. by iowa, my numbers from 47 locations are positive before it spilled over into two, and then from there it hit the large laying operation. that's when i think it became such a large epidemic that it was for a time out of control. i wanted to speak with you about the things that need to be prepared for another event that may happen. the focus on the east coast i'm glad to see that here. i think it's very appropriate they do that. but the resources that you have had i think you testified here that they are at least adequate to this moment. and i'm happy to be supportive if you need more resources. i would want to bring to your attention some of the things like the emergency response component of this. the level of urgency that i thought i should have seen. more in line with a flood or natural disaster or hurricane perhaps tornadoes tornado's too small a magnitude. i thought the urgency should have been hire. the chain of command so we know what that order of command is and who we can co

reed left the employment of the usda. >> thank you. i believe that the overall investigation led to a recommendation by the agency to refer to justice department. can you visit with us about that and why, if you know why, justice chose not to pursue a criminal actions? >> mr. chairman following the -- mr. reed leaving the office, then the oig continued its review of activities involving 2501 and strike force involving mr. reed. and they took a good deal of time, obviously, to complete the report. when the report was completed, we basically requested the department of justice to take a look at this. i believe it was referred down to the department of justice in arkansas. and the u.s. attorney in arkansas chose not to -- not to prosecute. i can't share with you today because i don't know the specific reasons for why he chose not to prosecute. but that decision makes it difficult if not impossible for us to take any further actions with reference to mr. reed because of the code of federal regulations. specifically, 180.21.10 and 470.2110

i know the usda deployed people up there quickly. by the time it hit in iowa my numbers are about 47 turkey locations were positive before it spilled over into two turkey locations in iowa. from there it hit the large laying operation near harris, iowa, and accounting. that's when i think it became such a large epidemic that it was for a time out of control. so i wanted to speak with you about the things that need to be prepared for another event that may happen. and the focus on the east coast i'm glad to see that here. i think it's very appropriate that they do that. but the resources that you've had, i think you testified here that they were at least adequate to this moment. and i'm happy to be supportive if you need more resources. i would want to bring to your attention some of the things like the emergency response component of this. the level of urgency that i thought i should have seen more in line with a flood or hurricane, i thought that level of urgency should have been higher. the chain of command so we know what that ord

usda, the u.n. food and agriculture association, the american medical association, national academy of sciences, the american association of the advancement of science world health organization. nearly every major scientific organization agrees that foods produced with bioengineered products are as safe as their non-g.m.o. counterparts. even opponents of g.m. foods admit they have failed to have unhealthy effects but objective science proves the contrary. those opposed to these foods simply reject science. . along the with bill's co-sponsors, i stand with the science. that's why i worked with my friend mr. pompeo, and the bill's co-sponsor in advocating for a federal framework, a federal framework that puts the f.d.a. and usda, our nation's foremost food safety authority, into the driver's seat. 1599 is a balanced approach that reduces confusion by providing conconsumers with labeling uniformity across state lines. it also addresses the concerns of those opposed to g.m. foods by establishing a progr

that's where usda summer food service program comes in. it's a federally funded, state administered program that reimburses providers who serve healthy meals to children and teens in low-income areas at no charge during the summer. local sponsors serve meals at community sites on set days and times. sites may be located in a variety of settings such as schools recreation centers, parks, community centers, day camps, housing projects and indian reservations. my summer food rocks tour began at cozell elementary school in ware, massachusetts. we had the opportunity to serve breakfast and speak with kids and their families about the importance of summer meals and share our -- and we distributed sunglasses which they all loved. the second stop was orange hill elementary school. we met children attending day camp who receive breakfast through the summer meals program. we got a chance to play basketball with the kids. the kids were definitely better than us. then we were off to a spanish american center where we were hosted by the center's execut

the usda restricted total fat done sum togs a recommended 30 to 35% of daily caloric intake.. this year's guidelines could break a 40-year tradition with the current draft proposal calling for no limit on total fat intake. has the government gone too far? >> i think there needs to be some amount of guidelines. if you give people free range, they're going to go to the maximum. i do think that it's going to create long term problems. >> to separate the best practices from the bunk. we turn to sharon wagner, a professional chef and nutritionist in san jose. >> that's a good omega three fatty as it. >> all fats are not created equal. the good ones come from sources like olive oil, nuts, and avocados which can be creatively. >> so with avocados, can you use these and make your own salad dressing. so i would mash them up and add a little lemon juice. >> you won't be surprised to know the bad fats come from common cull pretties like saturated fats found in pizza and cheese. scientists believe raised cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. so we have healthy fats a
