There is no room for the public to attend and the press is working as a pool and the hearing may be watched gaveltogavel online. Both of our witnesses, dr. Collins and Surgeon General adams are participating in person. Some are in person, some are participating by videoconference. The office of attending physician has advised that senators and witnesses may remove their masks to talk in the microphone since our chairs are six feet apart or more. That is why my mask is off and i am more than six feet apart and when i am in a hall or walking on the senate floor, i wear my mask. We are grateful to the rules committee the sergeant at arms, th

More liquid lidquidity they tend to perhaps not get what the other assets needed in the final rule. Weve been aiming at one goal and having a different result. To me it seems like its a problem for two reasons. One, more Community Banks, in particular, especially in a state like arkansas and other states like alabama and tennessee and other states represented here, its a good business. Its relatively safe assets. Two, its also that for the people we serve the consumers of those banks rather than dealing with a small bank in a place like del county arkansas. My time has expired. I want to thank you for your time. Thank you for increasing the number of our candidates we have in washington today. Thank you.

This process could keep an infringing process in place for a decade or more while the inventer is trying to find ways of getting inventor is trying to find ways of stopping that infringement. This authorizes the Patent Office director to create a patent troll database and create a strategy to teach Small Business how to d
You know, i think that its my question suggests, at least i view it, is that it is a neithernor process but equity on the low reduce the burden on low and middle class is not just morally responsible but about two thirds of the economy is fueled by Consumer Spending and lower and middle class families have a higher percentage that they need and spend on goods and services. So in that respect i think it makes sense to be looking at how the consequences of reform deal with them not just on corporate taxes as well because i think it will fuel spending that will help private sector profits. Senator packwood, at the end of your testimony, in 1983, 1900 people who earned a million or more paid no federal tax and that fact was due to a myriad of special interest loopholes clogging the arteries of the tax code before 86. And as you noted in your testimony, the product that passed the finance committee 200 and would later become law raised the taxes significantly on corporations and rich indivi
