Happy birthday. I am 35 years once again. Me too. We had here today to examine Trump Administration policy towards iran. Welcome to members of the public and the press as well. We had hoped to hear from secretary pompeo today as well. He announced he would instill he would instead be in california. That is unfortunate.

I recognize myself for an opening statement. Under the Trump Administration, we have seen tension. It seemed we were on the brink of war. Iran bears much of the blame for this escalation. Believe the destabilizing behavior strengthens them. It is what we expect from iran. U. S. Does not behave that way.

The house passed hr 3 last year. What is it and what will it do . Its the first attempt since the passage of Medicare Part d 20 years ago to reduce drug prices for americans. We hear again and again drug prices and Health Care Costs are the Biggest Issue for americans right now and this would allow the United States Government Health and Human Services to negotiate drug prices.
