Global look at what was happening on a global i mean in all their air bags, i dont think this would have happened. So to you, mr. Shimizu, and that is a november 6th New York Times article stated takata secretly conducted tests in 2004 at your auburn hills location pin response to the rere lease of metal fragments issue with the honda accord. According to the article, the steel inflators allegedly cracked during the tests and takata ordered the testing data deleted and the air bag inflators destroyed. Takata has disputed the report saying the report was based son some misunderstandings. What specifically about the report was inaccurate . Yes, senator. Again, its regarding the incident of honda vehicle in 2004 according to my knowledge it was informed to takata in may of 2005. There is no way we can do any test relating to that unfortunate incident before hand. And also the series of incident happened in 2007, and at that time we actually started investigation about the to identify the
And where are we going from here. Last august 2014, i traveled from damascus to washington, d. C. , with a fortune of maps and photos. I thought it might be a good idea to share with you ten out of them today. This is the first one. This reflects the situation in syria in summer 2013. We are talking about july august, 2013. The red color refers to the areas controlled by the regime, and his militia supporting him, like hezbollah in syria, and so on and so forth. The green area referred to the areas controlled by the rebels. And then the black spots refers to the areas controlled by isis at that time. So this map tells us two things actually. First of all, that the balance of power on the ground 15 months ago was almost 50 50. This is not the situation right now. This is an important thing to come back to. Second, that at that time isis was very weak. Very scattered. Not controlling a lot of areas. The areas are not geographically connected, which is very important from a Military Point
And theres no reason why the auto makers covered by this notice should not be required to take the same kind. I think it is absolutely imperative in view of the fear that has gripped the public by virtue of what has already been said and what will be stated in in hearing today that a loaner or rental car would be provided for someone if they cannot get their replacement of their defective airbag on the recall list done immediately. The owners should have a right to expect that the cars that they drive are as safe as possible. So thats going to be what were going to be facing in the next immediate future, as we dig into the question of what in fact is the problem. Ive written to secretary fox urging him to impose Civil Penalties up to the full extent of his law on any company that refuses to provide drivers with an alternative form of transportation. If theyre going to have to wait to have their car repaired. The American People have a right to know about the story behind this airbag re

If we begin to work as a country the coalition building. We cant just dialogue and walk away and say, we had a great evening. I would hope that notes are taken and we can begin to talk about how to build on the takeaways. Otherwise, we are going through the motions, the processes of coming together. Although this can become more of an aggregate, if we would put it in writing and declare in new orleans, cincinnati, atlanta, across the country. We would have more discussions like this that are purposeful. Again, we walk away with solutions. I go back to shortterm, longterm. This will not happen overnight. There are things that can be done immediately in every community with a great leadership, visionary leadership. Inquiring of the lord as to what we need to do. It doesnt take everybody doing it. If we can entrust not only the elected leaders, but as i said earlier, people on the ground. People every day who have voices that are never heard. If we can begin to process ways with which we
