chris: certainly one of the things we saw was our ability to stay connected through technology, webexom, amazon chime. i've learned all the different teleconferencing tools. and they have all worked reasonably well for us. so, i think we learned things there that we have the ability to stay connected. i think the other thing that it highlighted for us is, we ultimately are an in-person business. we are in-person in the restaurants, we are in person in the office. so, you lose something from culture, you lose something from a connectedness by being so remote. while it worked well for the time, we are committed to getting back into our offices, getting back into the restaurants. david: one of the problems some of the franchisees were having, not just mcdonald's was getting , people to come back to work. either they don't want to come back to work for health or other reasons, or they want higher compensation for one reason or another, so how hard has it been to get people to come back? chris: it has been very challenging in the u.s. we've not seen that issue as pronounced in europe or el

webex, zoom, amazon, chime. i've learned all the different teleconferencing tools. they have all worked reasonably well for us. i think we learned things that we have the ability to state connected. i think the other thing is it highlighted that we ultimately are in -- are and in person business. we are an in person in the restaurants we are in person in the office. you lose something from culture. you lose something from a connectedness by being remote. david: one of the problems some of their franchisees are having was getting people to come back to work. either they did not want to come back to work for health or other reasons or they want higher compensation for one reason or another. >> it has been very challenging in the u.s. we have not seen that issue as pronounced in europe or else around the world -- or elsewhere around the world. but in the u.s., it certainly has been a challenge. it is a lot of -- it has a lot of different factors in it. certainly the stimulus support had some element, but you know if i asked the franchisees so september is everything go

and i think he's appearing on webex. go ahead. >> chairwoman gillibrand, and members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify before you today. my name's mike ferguson and i've operated a hosting milking herd of 150 head in mississippi for 45 years. the dairy industry in mississippi currently consists of about 60 family farms. we are considered a milk deficit state. while we don't produce as much milk as our state consumes so milk must come in from other states. mississippi is steadily and rapidly losing dairy farms. over the past five years the extremely low milk prices producers have struggled to put food in their family's tables while providing it for the rest of us. we have lost approximately 26 dareies over this time from 86 in 2016 to 60 at the present time, a 30% degree. many of our 60 family farms in the state will not be here in a few years if things do not change. i would like to focus my brief testimony today on areas of improvement that congress could review to make an impact to reverse t

as i've learned, though, and i know all of our esteemed experts here and on webex will say children are not simply little adults and one of the reasons i had to have the study for clinical trials for vaccine is to make sure that the vaccine dosage is correct and make sure that the vaccines are safe and effective. pfizer said it will be submitting a request for emergency use authorization for children ages 5-11 in early october and then as it's been noted the f.d.a. will take several weeks to adress the data and will follow and accept interesting news in johnson & johnson. i want to ask you, the f.d.a. recently said they'll work as expeditiously as possible to what was following the science when it comes to authorizing a covid vaccine for children. what safety factors will f.d.a. be reviewing in the data different for children than compared to adults? dr. beers: yes, thank for you that. i do agree the vaccine is safe and effective for 5-11-year-olds will be a wonderful thing to have and part of what the f.d.a. is going to look at is, of course, the safety data to make sure there are no a

my webex froze up on me. can you repeat the question? rep. trahan: you bet. given the high level of surveillance i am wondering, heavy duty trucking is already highly surveilled. i am wondering if you could tell us a little about the impact it has on workers in ways that congress can create policies that balance the worker's right to privacy with the fact that av technology needs quantities of image data to work effectively. mr. regan: sure. i think you can look to the aviation sector for guidance on how to balance worker privacy with the necessary safety concerns in this modern equipment. we have struck the balance before we could do it again. rep. trahan: great. i join my colleagues in my excitement about the potential of a world with self-driving car'and i believ in the ingenuity of engineers and computer scientists. i believe we can develop world changing technology while remaining committed to the safety of those working on the frontline of this grand experiment. i yield back. chm. schakowsky: thank you. mr. guthrie, you are now recognized for five minut
