And reach a conclusion i think it is 90 days after the implementation of the Security Council resolutions none of us knows what is in this agreement. To my mind there are questions of if you are given an explanation that this was peaceful activity it does not mean that the activity was also carried out for other purposes. How the director general will formulate his report will be a question of artistry and diplomacy as far as im concerned. So what about these activities . If you assume that these accuracy activities were carried out and were successful it means that i run has iran has more knowledge. It would mean that the time between if there were to be a breakout would be shorter than it would otherwise be. That is an important consideration. But it is already factored into the fact that the agency will be doing inspections and gathering information on critical things on a daily basis, essentially in real time. It does not really affect what could he do other than that . That is one
He served at the Pacific Northwest national laboratory. He received his phd and was awarded the distinguished service award. Im going to have tom shea, and talk a little bit about the paper and then i will introduce or other speakers. Dr. Shea is there anyone here the new agreement . I will start off with shame on you, and get to it. Having just produce the document, was only yesterday . The article i have been working on is in a state of now trying to cope with the reality of the specifics of the final agreements. Starting off, 25 years ago the iaea system was overhauled after it was discovered that there were clandestine Nuclear Weapons programs in iraq and north korea. In effect, they compelled the International Community to overhaul that system and make it relevant to the threats of today. The efforts that took place, the technologies that have been applied, the authorities that have been given, all of those things have essentially been reinvented since 1990. Today, with the joint
We cant lose ground. The new treatments can be extremely expensive and cost as much as 1,000 a pill. I understand the v. A. Has been able to negotiate with the Drug Companies to a lower cost. And ive heard estimates that v. A. Is instead paying closer to 600 a bill, is that correct . I you may not have a answer. I would like to not have to answer that question. We work very slowly and collaboratively with the manufacturers of those drugs and have been able to reach attractive arrangements for the continued purchase of those drugs. And we continue to have those conversations. My what im curious about is if maybe our veterans are maybe choosing to go to v. A. As opposed to the private care or tricare or other options because they might get access to this medication more easily and the doctors might be able to get the treatment done in a more timely manner . I think that is certainly the case. If a veteran who is medicare eligible was to go to a private provider, he would wind up with a v
A senator mr. President . The presiding officer the senator from georgia. A senator mr. President , i ask that the quorum call be vitiated. The presiding officer without objection, so ordered. Mr. Perdue mr. President , weve had a lot of action in the United States senate which is unusual here. Id like to address that, today. You know, id like to address this to the people of texas, louisiana, and all those that just experienced the devastating results and impact of Hurricane Harvey. Obviously, our hearts go out to those people and of course were going to do the right thing and help the people of texas which is just what we voted on today. But its a bigger issue i want to speak to today. And i relate to this personally, because just last year, almost exactly to the day, my family was evacuated from our home in south georgia. And as i speak to you today, we were just notified today that my wife and motherinlaw who are there today will be well be evacuating this weekend from the south co
