Intellectual property, this is about two hours. Come to order. Well im disappointed we cant all be together in person today, im grateful to the chairman graham, and our clerk for facilitating this through web apps. I want to be clear that this subCommittee Hearing is not distracting from the full committee. Congress must address issues of Police Brutality and horrific circumstances that led to the murder of george floyd, and the senseless deaths of so many of our African American brothers and sisters. Thats why im grateful to senator graham for holding eight full Committee Hearing until the sink in america and i fully support that effort. We also have to continue to address the covid19 crisis in the impact its had on millions of americans and livelihoods. Just this morning the full Committee Held a conference on covid19 and its impact on tension. Centers im also glad mcconnell and several republican senators will take up the protection program. We are going to continue to address this
