Appropriate review for congress. It allows us to take action, or we dont have to take action. It recognizes the fact that the sanction regime was passed by congress and that we have a role to play in regards to implementing any agreement as we now see in the jcpoa, that congress has a role to play. So its set up an orderly process. And this hearing is part of that process. It took you two years to negotiate this agreement. It took you two months in vienna to get to the final details. Were on day 4 of our review of 60 days. I have not reached the conclusion. And i would hope that most members, i would hope the members of the congress would want to get all the information allow those who are directly involved to make their case. We have hearings set up next week and the following week, and well get outside experts. Many of us have taken advantage of that opportunity in the past. And i would hope that weve all used that opportunity before drawing a conclusion. This is a very important agr
Come to order. I want to thank the witnesses for being here today. And we look forward to a fulsome hearing. I want to thank those, also in attendance. I know there was a little bit of an outbreak prior to us convene convening. We thank you for being here. We do hope youll respect that now the meetings in order. Outbursts of any kind are unwarranted and will respect the democratic process that is taking place here. So, again, we thank you for beg being here. We also thank you for your courtesy as we move ahead. I know the witnesses have agreed to be here as long as we wish. So well start with sevenminute questions. I do know based on last nights presentation, theres sometimes a tendency for witnesses to want to interject. And what i would say is, obviously we conduct our meetings with a lot of respect and courtesy. And i would just ask the witnesses if they would to respond directly to the question from senators on both sides of the aisle as if they ask when you ask it directly to a wi
Thank you very much. Thanks for inviting us and thank you for coming. I would associate myself completely with the excellent textual analysis and i would agree with evans prediction that this could add some momentum, not a lot, but some momentum in their relations and also the relations and also the prescription about what the u. S. Government could do. I never had any expectation or should anyone have any expectation that this would resolve this issue within japan were korea or china or the u. S. For that matter. They famously said in the 70s it would take three generations to resolve this issue. Around the same time they said we leave this issue to the next generation which would be wise. Apparently that wasnt the case. In some ways its gotten harder. But i start with this premise it was never intended or have any chance of resulting the history issue. A lot of the criticism is promised on the need to resolve this and i just would put it to you that that was never for any Prime Minis
Middle class. Hope if it continues to be middle class how long of the crisis because middle class wants better, goods and services and expensive and that will, drive, that is driving politics more and more. The fact leaders have to address the concerns, discontent in the streets. I think that will drive the economy even more. There is a lag effect there. Doesnt matter where it comes from but they need better services. I said this before, it is not a matter anymore access to goods. There are 250 million cell phone lines in brazil for 200 Million People. It is matter of access to phones that actually work. The debate shifts from the goods to the services that makes those goods useful. I think that will be a key driver for Economic Growth going forward. That leads opening up with the economy with the debate that is happening. On the Prosecutors Office and constitution, i dont think the constitution is bad thing. There were excesses to some extent. In hindsight, the company came out after
I know there is some concerns about privacy of seniors with the web camera and video monitoring may give challenges to want to ensure the privacy of seniors and their dignity using this technology. But we also want to make sure we are looking now for their safety. I know using privacy techniques such as old the silhouettes on video monitors to ease some of the privacy concerns over adults but the challenge for those is to maximize safety with the minimum invasion of privacy they get to the chairman and witnesses to be here today and i look forward to learning from your testimony. That is an excellent statement. We have been joined by senator perdue, a senator cater and senator casey. Thanks for joining us this afternoon. Now we will turn to the panel and first year from the up Tech Industry veteran and the founder of aging in Place Technology watch. I a understand she also has the of wisdom to have her seventh home in the state of maine. That did not mean that is where you are testifyi
