The committee will come to order. I thank all of our witnesses for returning this morning. We appreciate the recognition of our interest and oversight responsibilities. This is a crisis that is evolving quickly. Since our hearing yesterday, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a global pandemic. Cdc has now reported that we have almost 1,000 confirmed cases. That is up from 100 reported cases a week ago. A 900 increase. Americans are worried. They are scared. It is essential that we are able to hear directly from the Health Officials leading this effort with just the facts. Im going to go to the republican side first which is where we left off. Before i do that, without objection, the following three letters we sent on march 3rd to hhs and cdc requesting basic information including about t t testing are entered into the record. We have not gotten any response to those letters. And with that, i recognize mr. Higgins. Thank you, madam chair. Gentlemen, thank yo

From the state department but from Valerie Jarrett in the white house who is essentially a political adviser not a policy person. I think that says volumes about how this administration is run. Host mr. Klein the cover of your book features but cut coupled bill and Hillary Clinton and michelle and barack obama. Talk about how they Work Together as a couple but also in the political sense. Guest how they Work Together . That would take us a long time but basically i would say that as quickly as i can say this, that the clintons have a marriage that is somewhat similar to the marriage of Franklin Roosevelt and eleanor roosevelt. Its essentially a working relationship. They have gone their separate ways in many ways. They dont live together often.

The obama side, we have a first lady in Michelle Obama who is best friends with Valerie Jarrett and who is a behindthescenes adviser

I will seek authorization for the use of force from the American Peoples representatives in congress. For the last several days, weve heard from members of congress who want their voices to be heard. I absolutely agree. So this morning, i spoke with all four koe
0 israel. did anybody ask senator kerry or chuck hagel or president obama if in fact israel is the victim of retaliation for whatever strike he makes? what effort he will put into defending israel? his comment was israel told them they could take care of themselves. i want to make it less. i think israel can. i think israel has a strong natural defense and they can do well in any battle. i don t want to involve them because they have so many enemies around them i m fearful it can spin out of control. my first choice would be to not involve israel in a battle if we don t have to. the president didn t feel, even when he spoke on saturday, that he necessarily needs to go to congress, although i believe the constitution is clear that in fact he does. and i think awe degree with me on that. but there have been many examples, i ll put them up on the screen. i want you to respond to this, of how the president has bypassed congress since he took over. more recently with the mandate and oba
