Good afternoon and welcome to todays hearing. Will hear about how these capabilities have been leveraged in response to the covid19 pandemic. I want to thank the Ranking Members, members of the subcommittee and witnesses for joining us today. Members of the subcommittee are enthusiastic about the Energy Innovations coming out of the nation. Given the labs providing our country, the materials pioneering power lines, and discovering 22 elements, the periodic table would be much smaller. As a covid19 pandemic begins to unfold in the u. S. , its apparent the does operatory programs are well positioned as we respond to the virus. Its perhaps not well known research is not in a lab. In fact, scientists developed neutralize chemicals and biological agents. This was used to cleanup the Office Buildings and anthrax in 2001. Sc

On nick spicer thanks for joining us the american president ial race has taken on a new turn following comments allegedly made by the commander in chief of the u. S. Armed forces President Donald Trump is reported to have disparaged americans killed in battle in europe the atlantic magazine broke the story said trump refused to visit an American Military cemetery in france because it was quote filled with losers.

Shelter, education and healthcare. Please invest in these resources by keeping us all safe and invest in the community. Thank you. Next speaker please. Im born and raised in the city.
