A group of industry stakeholders spoke and outlined recommendations for lawmakers. This is about two hours, 40 minutes. We will come to order. I recognize myself for five minutes. Opening statement. Todays hearing marks the health of subsidy public discussion on modernizing the Current System of the United States fda to review, approve and update. This hearing provides us in the American Public with the opportunity to better understand the fda regulatory frame work for overthecounter drugs and consider a proposal to reform the monograph system. I would like to commend all for their efforts in offering their insight to the committee. Theyve set a strong record of bipartisanship on Public Health issues such as 21st century cures, the fda reauthorization act and i hope to add to that record of success with todays hearing. Overthecounter drug products provide a wide variety of ailments. Pain relievers, eyedrops, cough drops as a firstline treatment option before going to see the dr. And ge
Monitor. We are only three days into the Summer Season and poor air quality is possible today. As alexis has told us, take mass transit and lets find out what else she has for us about the morning commute. A live look at the golden gate bridge, and we may have visibility issues as the marine layer comes in and starts to cool off, but today no problems with that. We are wide open and clear. Drive times are clear as well. And just seven minutes, westbound 92. Westbound 84 across dumbarton bridge, you are also in the green at just nine minutes. We will take a closer look at the south bay coming up next. Developing this morning, parents and teachers are emotional in a fight over splitting a School District in the east bay. If some parents get their way a new smaller district, you see it there in red, would be carved out. Amy hollyfield is live in walnut creek. Reporter hi, reggie. Theres another Public Meeting about this issue tonight, and they also had one last night. This issue is bringi
Question from one of our multinational partners. Im from the british embassy. Just following on from a point you made that and with the recent events in europe and the repositioning of some of your armored combat teams back to europe, are you confident that under the Restructuring Initiative that youve got the right assets or enough assets within europe or john, you want to take the first one . I think we spend a lot of time talking to our rsccs around the world. Army service sorry. Army Service Component commands. And sorry, with the acronym soup here. We were talking about pegs earlier. Great record on that. So we stay closely tied, and the aviation Restructuring Initiative is about adding capability, increasing capability even though were going to have less structure because it is the best step. And were going to tie that to the idea that we need to become more expeditionary and we need to proat a time forrotate force basis. We did in hawaii this summer and we put a company out of c
General, thanks for your time this morning. I was hoping you could clarify how air strikes are being conducted without any jtax on the ground in most cases and also how you assess civilian casualties in most cases, if at all . Let me start with civilian casualty piece. You know, the coalition is really very deliberate about how it conducts strikes out there. And we have some great capability in terms of precision. Whats in the balance here if youre not careful is you can be precisely wrong. You could strike, you know, tribe, you could strike Iraqi Security forces and you could create a very bad situation.

And then, when all the teeth and claws are torn out, the bear will be of no use at all. Perhaps theyll stuff it and thats all. Protecting our independence, our sovereignty and our right to exist. If we believe that one of the current problems including in the economy as a result of the sanctions is crucial, and it is so because out of all the problems the sanctions take up about 25 to 30 . But we must decide whether we want to keep going and fight, change our economy for the go through all this or we want our skin to hang on the wall. This is the choice we need to make and it has nothing to do with crimea. The russia channel is responsible for our broadcasting. Good afternoon. The crimea issue is more or less clear. The only question perhaps is how much we will have to eventually invest in its development after the difficult ukrainian past. The most urgent question for me is about eastern ukraine, which is now calling itself novorossiya. That is what they call themselves. How do you se
