You. I want to get both statements in and then we can make a decision. Mr. Patterson, how important is it to you that we lets say, for example, we were to offer you another continuance for x amount of time and not uphold today, how important is that to you . I want to give you your fair share at that. I think it is important because i want to commend you for coming back with a good step forward, and i want to keep that spirit going. Maybe you could explain to us why it is so important that we dont uphold today and give us reasons as to why we might consider that. Thank you, commissioner. I guess there are really two reasons. One is the issue of fines and penalties that may accrue during this time when we cant move forward. And the other is financing for construction.

Witnesses on the impact of guns in their lives, the effect on communities, and what steps could be taken to curb gun violence. This is just over an hour and a half. We are here today because 203 days ago, the house passed bipartisan gun violence prevention legislation and the u. S. Senate has done nothing. After every mass shooting that makes the headlines, leader mcconnell says it is too soon to talk about policy. Unfortunately, there have been more Mass Shootings this year than there have been days in the year. If we wait for a day without gun violence to talk about it, we will be waiting forever. The Senate Leader mcconnell hopes that if he waits this out, it will just go away. Well, we are not going away.

Over 2000 kids between the ages have been killed or injured by someone using a gun. Al
Brian doug mills, your last visit in 2013, you were photographing a lot of barack obama. What has changed in your life since then . Doug the American People elected a businessman who is now the president of the United States and things are drastically different for us. It is a lot of work. We work nonstop. The president drives a new cycle hourly. Therefore, it affects us everyday. The white house is quite an exciting place to work right now. Host how is it different . Doug from a photographer standpoint, we have a lot more access to the president. I see him more on a daily basis than we did with president obama. Sometimes three or four times per day. Sometimes five times a day. We are able to photograph him in different situations. Some meetings, will science, executive orders, things like that. There is a lot of travel involved. Not a lot of weekend travel other than to maralago or bedminster, new jersey. It is exhausting. It is great. It is very exciting. I love what i am doing. I ha
