Im not qualified to judge whether the cargo preference requirement achieves the necessary National Security objective of maintaining sea lift with the goal tied to that capacity.

We welcome their contribution that did do not diminish the programs ability. Surely there are other ways of supporting the mariners and maintaining our nations sea lift capacity without penal lizing vulnerable and hungry people. Short of eliminating the cargo pref
We will receive testimony on the protection of consumer data at Credit Bureaus. At the equifax hearing members expressed interest in better understanding how Credit Bureaus are regulated, how they protect consumer data, and whether there are gaps that Congress Needs to fill.

Especially if you can tailer the holistic view of things. Back to the removal of the expatriates, i think we spent a lot of time focusing on the message that that conveyed and i couldnt help but wonder what that had to have felt like, almost encapsulating the points we touched upon earlier which basically speak to the fact that the western world was saying you dont matter, well take out the people who do. Even if these are the people that raised you as orphans early in life, were going to separate. One of the things weve said in here in other classes, in earlier classes this xhsemester is that genocide undoes, things fall apart with genocide.

Miller pointed out that need to be addressed.
