When Congress Last debated opening anwr to oil and Gas Development, people made arguments about the use of new technology and how it would minimize the impact on anwr. Since then a lot of the claims have borne out in the industry. We will share some of them today. A couple are directional. Extended reach Multi Lateral drilling techniques that allow wells to be drilled in all directions from a well pad kind of like spokes on a bicycle wheel. Directional drilling has been around since the 1970s. But at that time it was did not allow the reach that we can now. And so you could drill a few square miles around a pad. I have a figure thats been shown before in the hearing today. You can see a couple, three square miles using technology from the 1970s and fast forward to the run on the far right, 12acre pad where a rig can reach out and cover 125 square miles. That means that you can space pads in modern development up to ten miles apart and that there is little to no surface impact between t
And what the u. S. Could do to have a greater influence on the north Korean People. This hearing is two hours and 15 minutes. Is one of the highest ranking officials to ever to defect. As a former deputy pastor to the United Kingdom, he wanted his family to be free. It is where we have the opportunity to hear from someone with such unique insight into the most repressive regime into the world and one now threatening us with Nuclear Weapons. Thank you for speaking before this committee today. I wanted to acknowledge that it takes courage for you to do this. I met with you in august and soul along with mr. And mr. Snyder and barra. Your observations and recommendations to the committee will not only help them form u. S. Policy, but its my hope that your message including how we can peacefully denuclearize the Korean Peninsula will reach the ears of every north korean still suffering. As i know you agree its crucial we get information to North Koreans so they can better understand the sel
Saber with regard to korea, not because they have an atomic bomb but he wants to get this war over with but its never it wasnt really a real threat but he rattles the saber a little bit.

Bomb, five to six bombs, by january, february of this year. Has iran accomplished that mission . Do they have enough material to do that . I dont think we see that. The sense is no, they do not. The concern was when they had 20 purity and enough kilograms up there to have maybe one but yet we dont have all the information. So we cant say with certainty they dont have that, correct . Were just looking at the declared facilities, the facilities were aware of. There may be undeclared facilities, as the iaeas indicated. And mr. Lauder and ambassador detrani, you were saying that its very difficult to monitor and verify irans compliance with the iranianu. S. Jpa agreement. Do you believe these details should have been worked out prior to any agreement starting and releasing sanctions . If you go into a negotiation, you should have everything on the table.

So, you know, it is one of the challenges that i believe the United States faces in dealing with russia, the fact that i think Something Like 30 of european gas consumption is russian gas and, you know, theres an effort to you to build a pipeline across turkey and into Southern Europe ideally to be filled with gas and the iranians would be happy to put their gas in the pipeline if they were allowed to do that. I think its a central tentative u. S. Policy. We dont want that to happen. But the Energy Equation is a complex one and, you know, iran as a government is guilty of gross financial mismanagement and so, you know, their Energy Resources are relatively undeveloped compared to what they could be with better management. Okay. We go now to mr. Randy weber of texas. Thank you, mr. Chairman. Our colleague down to the left, mr. Meeks said that negotiating with iran is not easy. And i think you is mr. Rademaker .
