Attempts by hamas to negotiate and deployed the israeli defensive. Hamas still holds hostages, soau that Group A Series of ceasefire leasing hostages might be a good first step yourd domain well, College Campusesc remain chaotic crime scenes. Cr that does not involve the squad. Per usual they side witha the criminals and not the cops. From gwu and everywhere elseh students have been vitallysted beaten without provocation.

Senator johnson good morning. This hearing will come to order. I am looking forward to this. I was telling the witnesses, i have read all of the testimony, and i generally do that to the best of my ability, sometimes the testimony can be a little dry and will put me to sleep when im reading later at night. In this case, not whatsoever. The testimony was fascinating partly because i am new to the issue. I will keep my Opening Statement brief.
