People investors will have to bring their capital to the table. We also have to continue to push for the worlds highest standards in the environmental chapters of the trade agreements that we are pursuing. Just like we are doing in the Transatlantic Trade Investment Partnership and transpacific partnership. And just like labor standards and other agreements, these environmental agreements have to be fully enforceable. Finally, we have to find more ways for the private and Public Sector to Work Together to make the most of the Innovative Technologies that entrepreneurs are developing here in the United States and around the world. And this is the idea that is behind the white house announcement that they made last month, the Clean Energy Investment initiative. Its starting goal is to attract 2 billion in private Sector Investment to be put toward Clean Energy Climate change solutions. Now the good news is much of the technology that we need is already out there and its becoming faster a
Those engaged in business or on the boards of enterprise or educational institutions and you have helped to lay out how we can combat Climate Change and i thank you for doing that. Now its time to build on the pledges. Let us know how youre doing. Let us know throw the state department, through state. Gov, and how we can help you make progress, and this is the kind of shared resolve that will help ensure that we are successful in paris and beyond. In closing i ask you to consider one basic question. Suppose stretching your imaginations as it will have to be that somehow those 97 of studies i just talked about suppose that somehow they were wrong, about Climate Change in the end. Hard to understand, after 20 years of 97 , but imagine it. Just imagine it. What are the consequences we would face for taking the actions that were talking about . And based on the notion that those might be correct. Ill tell you what the consequences are. Youll create an extraordinary number of jobs. Youll ki
Are buying in order to figure out what each cost and also i would note that on the songwriter side, Songwriters Guild featured Music Coalition that have brought up issues of transparency because arbitration might lead to issues where the artists themselves dont necessarily know what the rate is or how it was decided. I think my time is up mr. Chairman. Thank you. Senator franken. Thank you mr. Chairman for this hearing. Mr. Harris and you talked about this 150,000dollar fine that could be imposed for infringing. Have you ever paid such a fine . No sir. How many times has that fine in your experience your knowledge been imposed . Well in the context of pandora. Just in the whole ego system of this .

Freedom information act, and they do not try to point any exemptions for National Security or classification reasons, it would be an unprecedented event as far as i know. The state department is incredibly aggressive. All agencies of the federal bureaucracy are incredibly aggressive impacting information that could be classified. The notion that the secretary of state, in the course of her duties, could write 55,000 pages or receive 55,000 pages of email and not one ioda of it is classified, would be very difficult for me or for anyone who is somebody with the freedom of information act to believe. I am confident it will be an interesting thing because the state department, as they process request, will have to decide they will look at an email and say, this is classified but if they try to read acted as such, they are making a liar out of the Hillary Clinton defenders. It will be interesting to see how they perceive when they hit that conundrum, but i would be shocked if there is not
