Can we have the next caller. Caller good evening, supervisors. Todd snyder for district 5. I thank you for amending this measure next week and supporting it thus far. I ask that you continue to support it today. And i want to point out that an arbitrary number of Sworn Police Officers provides no flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of our city. And this came from a Consent Decree entered into in 1979. And lifted in 1998. It has no relevance to the city today. So i urge you to continue to support this measure and to put it before the voters on the ballot in november. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Can we have the next caller, please. Caller i already spoke once and i have been unmuted. Clerk i believe this person has already spoken before per their comment. Can we have the next caller, please.

Statement. On october 18th, f dardai s announced its independent lab detected talc in johnson and johnsons baby powder. They issued recall for one lot of its talcum powder. I sent an invitation to alex gorsky requests he appear before our subcommittee to discuss the Public Health concerns regarding j and j baby powder. Im disappointed that j and j has refused to comply with our request. While hes not refrained from making multiple public statements on this topic including offering written statements and speaking with media outlet, he has now avoided voluntarily testifying under oath before congress.

In a Media Release subsequent to our hearing johnson and johnson stated the subcommittee did not hear the preponderence that supports the safety of our product. We wanted mr. Gorsky
