Moment and explain the balance this amendment achieves. Encryption technologies are critical tools for protecting privacy and the individuals personal information. At the same time, Law Enforcement and intelligence professionals need access to information to keep our country safe. As well as a parent the apple versus the fbi case, encryption, in that case of a device addressed, and in the context of data in motion, can be an impediment to Law Enforcement obtaining the information it needs. And we recognize this is a difficult balance, in the middle of a conversation were having among ourselves, including in this room. And we believe, as this amendment suggests, the best way forward is through a commission on Digital Security that brings together Law Enforcement, security personnel, experts in technology from silicon valley, to weigh the best way forward. This commission would propose solutions that both protect very important individual private also givingwhile Law Enforcement and inte

But when we see a 12yearold boy in cleveland get killed, standing still with a toy gun, offices are choosing this time and time again. To ignore the racist element and this is to live in a wonderland. The severald about dozen laws that are out there these days, to address police violence. Is there one piece of legislation you can point to out there that you think might make a significant difference moving forward . Guest president obama could signing executive order, or congress could put legislation forward. The national level, that could have a demonstrative impact, if we had a standard that highlighted the preservation of life. You think about places like baltimore, it was until recently, like the last few choke hold people. It was not against the rules. That is true in cities across the country, and that is ok.

Max richmond. This amendment deals with the cost of living adjustment. One of the most anticipated events for seniors is the announcement by Social Security of the cost of living adjustment. For the last few years, they have been disappointed with the announcement. The purpose of a costofliving adjustment is for social ensure that Social Security benefits are not eroded by inflation. This is not happening. In 2010, it was zero. 2011, it was zero. This year, 2015, it is zero.

The first part is to get rid of almost everything that weve done for the American Public in the last 3 years. They want to reduce or abolish the Synthetic Fuels program. They want to slash the solar energy incentives, the conservation programs, aid to mass transit, aid to elderly americans to help pay their fuel bills. They want to eliminate the 55 mile speed limit. And while they are at it, the republicans would like to gut the clean air act. They never liked it to begin with. Thats one part of their program; the other part is worse. To replace what we have built, this is what they propose to destroy the windfall profits tax and to unleash the Oil Companies and let them solve the Energy Problem for us. Thats it. That is it. Thats their whole program. There is no more. Can this nation accept such an outrageous program . No we democra
