This includes the National Fish Habitat Conservation through partnerships provision, a bill i championed. This title establishes a National Fish habitat board that supports a successful Publicprivate Partnership to restore fish habitat. I would like to thank the Ranking Member of the Natural Resources committee, rob bishop, and the Ranking Member of the subcommittee on water, oceans and wildlife, tom mcclintock. I would also like to to thank my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for their ceaseless effort and commitment to making sure we do everything we can to conserve prork tect and enhance the resources that we are in charge of taking care of.

Committee. In the heat of the 2016 election, as the russian hacking and dumping operation became apparent, my predominant concern was that the russians would begin dumping forged documents along with the real ones that pistol. It would have been all too easy seed forgedto documents among the authentic ones in a way that would make it almost impossible to identify.

Three years later, we are on the cusp of a technological revolution that could enable even more sinister forms of deception and this information by malign actors, foreign or domestic. And machineai learning have led to the emergence of advanced, digitally doctored types of media, enableed deepfakes that malicious actors to film and disrupt entire campaigns including that for the presidency.

Bill with spending measures for next year, whats in the first package and what is behind the democrat strategy and approaching the spending debate this year . The package includes the department of labor, health and Human Services and education, the Energy Water Spending bill and the state and operation spending bill, its quite a bit of money, it was a little under 1 trillion and these bills would cover a variety of departments.

America alone in 2017 ordered 17000 people died of drug overdoses. 2006 mexico seen 1,150,000 people murdered in the course of the Cartel Violence associated with the market share and real estate and comes to the International Drug trade. Reflecting on those numbers, it bring me think about other efforts we undertake. Only the threat of terrorism emanating from afghanistan, the war in iraq and the idea that we would somehow lose 70000 americans in one year alone to drug overdoses is not consider this a matter
