Statement. On october 18th, f dardai s announced its independent lab detected talc in johnson and johnsons baby powder. They issued recall for one lot of its talcum powder. I sent an invitation to alex gorsky requests he appear before our subcommittee to discuss the Public Health concerns regarding j and j baby powder. Im disappointed that j and j has refused to comply with our request. While hes not refrained from making multiple public statements on this topic including offering written statements and speaking with media outlet, he has now avoided voluntarily testifying under oath before congress. In fact, this subcommittees very first hearing earlier this year examined possible carcinogens in talc based products. Johnson and johnson objected to the hearing claiming it had not been invited to participate. In a Media Release subsequent to our hearing johnson and johnson stated the subcommittee did not hear the preponderence that supports the safety of our product. We wanted mr. Gorsky
To discuss that im now joined by peter mauer president of the International Committee of the red cross mr maher its always good to talk to you thank you very much for finding techniques for having me now you are now in moscow to take part in the warshaw that deals with what essentially are the laws of wars the Geneva Conventions but this is not how this event is officially called instead it makes reference to International Rules governing military operations is it just me quibbling over semantics or has they indeed been a shift on the battlefield from the loss to the rules with the letter i assume being last restrictive. Well i think there have been many shifts in the battlefield over the last decades and recently we have seen that it is more important than may be just to teach the generalities or flaws in try and in the Geneva Conventions to look much more in detail at the ground rules and the rules of engagements that militaries have in the battlefields to compare notes to look at go
Of crimes for which people are held, which is we have the population lets see, we were going to build a jail for 380 and we look at the jail population today with all of the work around bail reform and the psas and we have a population of about 313 based on this one date that the bla gave us and i look at these. I look at the crimes upon which people are being held and we know that we have the psa and i see crimes like murder. 30 people held for that, attempted murder, firstdegree robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping to commit another crime, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, sexual intercourse or sotoomy with a child 10 years old or younger, kidnapping by use of drugs. Weve developed a whole entire office to deal with rape that victims in this town are not treated well when it comes to whether or not their prosecutions will go forward, not just by use of drugs. I look at these, mayhem, torture, these are crimes that nobody wants to happen no any of their loved ones. An
Thank you all for swrojoining u today. The subcommittee will come to order. The chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time. The decision to deport children with critical illnesses, a decision that was recently reversed following public outrage and pressure from the subcommittee. I will now recognize myself for five minutes to give an Opening Statement then turn to the Ranking Member. We are here to get to the bottom of the administrations mysterious campaign to deport critically ill children and their families. It appears that this policy has thankfully been reversed. They rose up in an outcry at the cold humanity on display. Im going to treat this hearing not only as an honor to Elijah Cummings, but as a hearing in direct pursuit of a policy objective that was close to his heart. The threatened deportation of Sick Children was such an outrage the to chairman cummings that his last official act before his death was to issue subpoenas to hold the administration to his account.
Could it be satisfactory if there were an alternative masked the same as the proposed project but had a different design on the facade . They can respond more theyre architects and they know what im talking about. [ laughter ] so it sounds like you would be ok with not having a partial preservation but changing the design in more of the direction you designed. It can still be contemporary. Jusjust the massing and articulation can respond. How about if we leave the option with the project sponsor to continue. Here is what im worried about, is what if it gets to the Planning Commission and they have better drawings and a better understanding of all of the agen adjacencies and someboy complains about a cast shadow. If you want to pursue a partial as a way of communicating different impacts, then i would say we leave that up to you. Or just leave it in the way it is and follows the project. Yeah. Thats clear. That would be clear. I wouldnt want do we have concurrence . Just concurrence tha
