Sunday with more 50s on the way and when well get close to 60 in that seven day forecast in just a bit. All right pamela thanks so much. We do begin with a developing story power is slowly being restored to a neighborhood. The scene of a frightening accident around 6 p. M. A cement truck driver clipped lowhanging wires on hazelmere road. The force ripped the wires and the pole down on the cab of his truck, those wires were live which means the driver couldnt get out on his own without serious risk to his life. Rescuers were able to free him but it took about four hours. Ever source has been on scene to restore power to the neighborhood, the good news neither the truck driver nor anyone else involved was hurt. A little girl left alone on a school van is safe and back with her family this morning. Walking heard the girl crying on the bus and called 911. Police found the girl in the back of the van, she had been alone for 5 hours. The child attends the page academy in rocksbury, police ar
Them harder. I think we would welcome legislation to reform that area. But if we come in a blunt instrument, suddenly recreating the fda authorities or mandating things on the fda or looking for the department of health and Human Services to do things that theyre not equipped to do and then, of course, we dont fund them to do it, i think we have to be cautious about some of the legislation that may be proposed. More than anything we want government to be there to work collaboratively but we still have to recognize the safety and efficacy that American People and most people here would certainly think is necessary for a new product. We want those products out as quickly as possible. I remember the days when we had the first evidence of the aids epidemic and the people that brought home the reform and fda to get some of these therapies out quickly were the act up groups of the gay community. They studied the law of fda and argued you dont need to take so long. You dont have to wait till
Representatives of disease groups know more about the diseases than anybody else. They have worked so hard to try to understand whats at stake. Pressing the government to be as flexible as possible. I think its important for the infrastructure for the 21st century cures. I want to say i would be a little cautious about thinking we can solve big problems with legislation with all the unforeseen consequences that can sit inn at a panel here ten years from now and bemoan. I guess thats not a question, but comments. I thank the witnesses and particularly, my good friend and constituent mike milken for all that he has done. Thank you, mr. Chairman for convening this roundtable and thank you to the expert witnesses for your insights. Every time we have one of these hearings or roundtables, we learn a lot. We had an excellent roundtable with dr. Collins, dr. Hamburg, our chairman, dr. Burgess, frank blum were there. It was very important and meaningful. Dr. Collins, youve forcefully made the
40 years. One, putting the patients at the center of discovery, development and delivery process. More efficient Clinical Trials. Meaningful working relationships between patients. And diseasespecific organizations. One of the great advancements of the past two decades has been the strengthening and improvement of the disease Recognition Research group. Two, incentivize collaboration across sectors in the r d process. Public private partnership. Look at history books and see those partnerships between ford and kaiser and the government that allowed us to have victory in world war ii as we moved our forprofit Industrial Companies quickly to produce ships and other products we needed during world war ii. Three, encourage novel Financial Solutions that address the riskiest r d endeavors. Change this risk return ratio. As an example, mr. Chairman, all we have to do is look at acid rain. A major issue in the latter part of the 1980s in america. Movies, public hearings, et cetera, the loss o
