Order. Id like to thank our witnesses for joining us here today and for your continued service to the American People. Todays hearing will examine our nations readiness to respond to weapons of mass destruction and Health Security threats. The goal of this hearing is to assess the countering weapons of Mass Destruction Office housed within dhs and its ability to combat these threats. We will also discuss the newly established office of Health Security, which will be tasked with streamlining the health and Safety Operations of Department Personnel and overseeing medical and Public Health matters all across the department of Homeland Security. Chemical, biological, nuclear and radiological materials, sometimes shortened to cbrn or seabourn, is an umbrella term to describe hazardous agents that can be weaponized and can cause everything from mass casualties and incapacitation to agricultural destruction.

Those limited days of a temporary restrange order, that restraining order, shouldnt be able to go out and buy a weapon. This isnt a denial of due process that the judge actually has to make a finding that there is a threat of violence.

Here in the meantime engineers are also busy inspecting bridges similar to this one. We are tol

Is now appointing a special council to investigate what actually happened at the Miami Dolphins. Offensive lineman Richie Incognito has been suspended accused of bullying teammate Jonathan Martin. Delia goncalves has the story from our Satellite Center. Whats the latest this morning, delia . Reporter were hearing that martin never shared these texts and voice mails with coaches rather showing them to his parents.

Thats because some fellow players say that even if Jonathan Martin chooses to play in the n. F. L. Again, he may be cost extra sized and may be ostracized and considered a snitch. But many are proud of his actions and hope it leads to change in the locker room. The coach said he championed a culture of honesty, respect and accountability but when he spo
