Industry. Now, we are finally responding to years of chronic trade abuses by defending our workers with tariffs, and anything else that is necessary. Because nobody is going to steal our businesses, nobody will close our factories, and nobody will close our plants anymore. They are all coming back. [applause] host peter liebhold, President Trump has popularized the debate over tariffs in our country once again. But how long throughout our history have tariffs been a subject of political debate . Peter tariffs have been the topic of discussion from the beginning. Tariffs make great rhetoric. Really power people up. One could argue that the United States was founded on a tariff battle. Not american tariffs, but opposition to english tariffs. Susan were going to spend some time we started asking questions about the tariff debate and we thought we would bring the audience along to learn more about the role of tariffs and American History.

Enormously exciting era, advances in genetics and neuroscience are giving us new tools that will enable us to take giant strides in understanding human behavior, human societies, policies, and economies.

Nice to get started. This morning we will consider the president s budget request for the u. S. Forest service for fy 2021. Chief christiansen, its good to be able to welcome you back to the committee, thank you for being here. We say around here that the president s budget request is just that, it is a request. It does start the annual budget process. It gives us here in congress the opportunity to learn about the administrations priorities and how it would carry them out. But ultimately, it is up to us to determine what programs to fund and what levels. Although this years budget request is far from perfect, i agree that the priority must be on Wildland Fire Management and improving the health of our forests. Im encouraged that the administration is proposing to invest significantly in hazardous fuel reduction and other active Forest Management activities. We know such investments pay dividends in reducing the risk of severe wildfire. Hopefully we will see this important work planned
