Mr. Dillard thank you for your observation. Trauma informed care is truly something that is needed if we are going to be preventive. I can use myself as an example of someone who had traumas at the age of 1213 years old. When i was diagnosed, i had been severely depressed most of my life. One reason i self medicated was Illegal Drugs had i been diagnosed, maybe i could have been given legal drugs and avoided the criminal Justice System. The fact is, we never look at the cause, we just look at the effect. Many, many, many of these women and men who ive encountered have tremendous traumas. We are working as a Pure Organization to help them work through that. To avoid Walking Around as hurting people because we know hurt people hurt people. If we do not address those early on, further down the road after recidivism, we are still going to be paying a much higher cost. Mr. Ofer i will give a perspective informed by the fact that i spend a lot of my time in newark, new jersey. A city that is
At some point come to stumble when im assembled leaders and you typed a lot about what is going to land in what is going to use. What can lose is for structure. All the Service Chiefs are grappling with this he dilemma. How do you modernize and made team for structure at the same time . 80,000, 31,000 of them are all volunteers, coast guard auxiliary. Whatever you multiply by zero, you get zero. They provide millions of free manhours sorting Coast Guard Missions that dont involve putting themselves at risk, mostly Recreational Boating community, but i cant come for structure. Maybe make difficult decisions about operations do not cut appeared with always defined itself by love and Statutory Mission and some pages get rid of one of those missions. Each one of those has a mundane line when you divest of omission, all you have at the end of the day is a smaller coast guard. 100 years ago was when the coast guard first came into being. The first commandant of the coast guard was under atta
Be a member of the ccd, a group of more than 110 National Disability organizations that want to Better Future for disabilities. As we have seen recently, overall the Disability Community is quite good at protecting lifesaving benefits in advancing civil rights. With so many great organizations already out there and so many fantastic leaders in the Disability Movement already why is there a need for yet another disability organization.

Good morning, everyone. The committee will come to order. We meet this morning to consider opening a very small portion of alaskas 1002 area to responsible Energy Development to meet the 1 billion budget reconciliation instruction that our Committee Received last week. The 1002 area covers 1. 57 million acres of land in northeast alaska within the nonwilderness portion. You can bring it over here sean. I think its important to put this in context in terms of the areas that we are talking about. Anwr itself is 19 million acres. This is approximately the size of south carolina. The nonwilderness area is 1002 area, is 1. 5 million acres, approximately the size of delaware. The area here is designated as wilderness, federal wilderness, 8 million acres there. When we are talking about anwr itself, its important to recognize there are parts of anwr that are designated as wilderness and parts within the refuge and parts of anwr, the 1002 area specifically designated for consideration for oil
There is more brush now than there has ever been in the past they have had to change where they go. This is real. I just left and there is no snow on the ground in fairbanks. It was 30 degrees when i left. That has a real impact as well. When it ices over they have a harder time getting to their food. I hope to see that this body recognizes that. Thank you mr. Alexander. Thank you. Senator lee. Thank you very much. I want to add my support for the opening up of a coastal plain region. This proposal makes sense on a number of levels, from an Economic Perspective opening up this small small remote area will provide billions of dollars in federal revenues alone over the next few decades which could be used to chip away at our staggering budget deficits that we are guessing. And new development will be for alaska, a state struggling for high unemployment and for its own budget shortfalls. Opening up the coastal plane makes sense. Energy development meets some of the most rigorous in the en
