Supply to the demand. My time is about to expire. Are there other manufacturers that manufacture an equivalent airbag product that you could institute for your air bag and repair these cars that have already been recalled . Or is that just not technically an engineering wise feasible b . Its required some tests. I would suggest that you look at that. Because the sooner the cars that have already been identified are repaired, the better off youre going to be, in my opinion. With that, mr. Chairman, i yield back. Thank you very much. The chair recognizes the gentleman from kentucky. Thank you, mr. Chairman. And thank the witnesses for their testimonies today. I wish i could say i felt better about this situation now than i did when i walked into the room, but i think i feel a little bit more uncertain than i wish i did.

Action . Thank you. And i understand your involvement in the establishment of the act more than ten years ago, and i can understand the disappointment you feel by the shortcomings that have been evidenced by our company, and i want to explain to you what happened. The problem that we had with underreporting in the act is a systematic problem that began at the the outset. As you know, it went into effect in 2003. They did not properly Program Computers and set up systems that would at accurately let data flow and feed into treasury reports. It is difficult for me to say, sir, but that setup continued unchecked until 2011, 2012. You are right that an internal honda associate did mention a concern, as well as a discussion with nhtsa. They asked about the omission of certain incidents in our tread report. We did look into that, sir, in early 2012. We did not look at that effectively. We took action to address that one problem, but sir it did not complete our compliance requirements. Can i
The life, it creates an immense amount of insecurity among the driving public and obviously my view the burden has to be on the manufacturer and our governmental agencies to take the appropriate steps to revive and restore public confidence. Thank you. Thank you. Now, its the appropriate time to introduce the panel. Ill introduce the panel as a whole, and then well start with takata as the first speaking witness. So today our first panel representing takata, Hiroshi Shimizu. Shimizu, sorry. Yes. From honda, Rick Schostek. From bmw, chris westbrook. From toyota, abbas saadat. Appreciate all of you being here.

Shimizus first language, and while the committee will allow mr. Shimizu to confer with the translator for the purpose of clarification, he will be required to answer the committees question in
Of booknotes. Richard perle appeared on booknotes in 2004 to discuss his book an end to evil how to win the war on terror. Mr. Perle argues the u. S. Should sever ties with saudi arabia disregard the opinion of our european allies and overthrow the government of iran. Cspan Richard Perle, coauthor of an end to evil how to win the war on terror, you wrote on page 195, ultimately the blame for our failed terrorism policies of the 1990s belongs to the weakwilled leaders who could not muster the nerve for decisive action. Who are you talking about . Guest im talking about the Clinton Administration for sure, and i dont think the Previous Administration was as robust as it should have been. Cspan you mean George Herbert walker bush. Guest thats right. Cspan why are they weakwilled . Guest they failed to respond in a manner that the terrorists would recognize as as a real defense of this country. So there was one attack after another.

Tonight we will look at all of it, her life, her jurisprudence, the fight now before us just when you perhaps thought our politics could not get any more poisonous or toxic, its about to. Donald trump had already started a rally in minnesota when word of her death arrived. He was informed only after leaving the stage en route to the flight home. She just died . Wow, i didnt know that. I just youre telling me now for the first time. She led an amazing life. What else can you say . She was an amazing woman. Whether you agreed or not, she was an amazing woman who led an amazing life. Im actually sad to hear that. And just a few minutes ago, the president issued a statement saying, quote, today our nation mourns the loss of a titan of the law. Nicolle. Look, if you are a woman, you live in Ruth Ginsburgs america, and she has been this towering figure in american jurisprudence and has affected our country in more ways than we can describe in just an hour. Even if she hadnt served on the cou
