The noble prize in journalism education, so i am really glad that she is here. I will tell you more about diane in a moment, but first as i traditionally do, we will discuss the discussion. An underlying theme we have been having, the background for all of the discussions in the amphitheater, has been, how the news business, and the Civic Society can do its part. To give us the information and the values and the perspective that we need, as a Democratic Society to find our way. I was thinking of that this morning during nancy gibbss interesting conversation with david andreli. I will have a brief quiz based on this discussion.

In the last two months, texas, florida, puerto rico and the u. S. Virgin islands have been devastated by hurricanes. I first want to express our heartfelt sorrow for the millions of americans impacted by these devastating storms, and say that all members of this committee on both sides of the aisle stand with those affected by these hurricanes. I would also like to thank dr. Burgess and dr. Ruiz who each recently visited puerto rico to assess the impact these hurricanes have had, and continue to have on our fellow americans. This committee has been conducting oversight of the federal response to the recent hurricanes since shortly after harvey made landfall in texas.
