Start. We just finished a vote which i just did, and im sure that well be joined by others of our colleagues for this very important hearing. Today this subcommittee is focused on safety, particularly as it relates to trucks on our nations roads and highways. This issue is something that i have cared about deeply throughout my career, and i appreciate senator blunts commitment as well. I know he has been very, very focused on issues relating to safety. There may be some issues that divide us, but there is so much more that we have in common x be thats why were having this hearing, thats why were joined by witnesses who are really experts on this topic from across a wide spectrum.

The old world to them was the nw world, and i thought, thats it, the greater journey. They know then that they are on a greater journey which will be their experience, their spiritual, mental, professional journey in the city of paris where theyre trying to rise to the occasion, to excel in a particular field whether it was writing or music or painting or sculpture or medicine, because many of them in that day went to, as medical students because paris was the medical capital of the world.

But thats one concern. My other concern has to do with seniors who have been in the southeast on the southeast campus for quite a while and whats happening to them is theyre being pushed out because theres a lack of space.

So, what im asking you is to speak with someone about our concerns about the community and help us to resolve those issues. Thank you very much, doctor. Thank you. Mr. Kelly.
