Csp csp cspspan. Or cspan. Org. Next, a look at hacking attempts by russia which may have targeted as many as 21 u. S. States. We heard yesterday from the person in charge of Cyber Security for the Homeland Security department janet manfra and other intelligence officials. From capitol hill this is a little over three hours. Hearing is in order. Today the committee convenes the sixth open hearing of 2017 to further examine russias interference in the election. This is an opportunity for the committee and the American People to drill down on this vitally important topic. In 2016 a hostile foreign power reached down into the state and local levels to touch voter data. It employed sophisticated cyber tools and capabilities and helped moscow to potentially build detailed knowledge of how our elections work. There was another example of russian efforts to interfere into a democracy with the goal of undermining our system. In 2016 we were woefully unprepared to defend and respond and im hope
Convenes the committee to examine the russian interference in the u. S. Elections. This is an opportunity for the American People to drill down on this important topic. In 2016, and hostile foreign power reached down into the state and local levels to touch voter data. It employed relatively sophisticated cyber tools and capabilities and helped moscow potentially build detailed knowledge of how our collections work. It was another example of russian efforts to interfere in a democracy with the goal of undermining our system. Were woefully unprepared to defend and respond, and i am hopeful we will not be caught flatfooted again. Our witnesses are here to tell us more about what happened in 2016, what that tells us about russian intentions, and what we should expect in 28 team and 20 in 2018. If we do not work with the states to secure our elections, we could be here in two or four years, talking about a worse crisis. The hearing will feature two panels. The first will include expert fbi
Internet caucus taking a look at internet privacy and personal data protection. The chair of the Federal Reserve, janet yellen, testified on the u. S. Economy and Monetary Policy appearing before the House Financial Services committee on wednesday for about three hours. The committee will come to order. Without objection the chair is authorized to suggest a recess for the committee at any time. This is the annual testimony on the Federal Reserves supervision and regulation of the Financial System. I now recognize myself for three minutes to give an opening statement. The dodd frank act requires the Federal Reserves vice chair of supervision to testify before our Committee Twice a year regarding the supervision and regulation of Financial Institutions. Regrettably, five years after the passage of dodd frank, no such person exists. President obama has been unwilling or unable to follow the law in a point at vice chair. We can no longer wait for the president to do his job so we can be al
If its my friends at the fcc, first of all, i wouldnt be shocked. And second of all, maybe thats a pretty fair thing. Have you done what you need to do to get this regulation, required by law, simply to allow us to know the incentive that is are involved and to prohibit inappropriate incentives that did help lead to the 2008 debacle. Have you done your job . We have tried to work constructively with the other agencies. I love when chairs never give answers. We have done i think the fed has done a pretty good job. Im not complain 00 the fed. But this is long overdue. Each regulator that comes before me, im going to ask. I dont say do a specific item, i dont care how much they make. Do it so the american person doesnt get on the hook again. On an item that we have already identified as a problem that everybody agrees was a problem and that should be relatively easy to fix. I agree with your assessment, that it was an important problem, that it is essential to address it. And as i said, i
In the maritime revenue. So for operating expenses the drivers of our future expense are primarily labor, a lot of it is what we have and paying for increases in fringe benefit costs and cola adjustments, et cetera, and the other part is from adding new resources and positions that we believe are critical to meet operating efficiencies, protect our revenue and respond to who we are today. Also in prior years we had that noncash adjustment for pier 70, the reduction of that environmental liability that we dont project having into the future. So this graphic just shows the main drivers, personnel expenses in the dark blue, charges for other city departments, other expenses, professional services. So Expense Growth is projected to outpace Revenue Growth resulting in a negative net income position throughout the projected period.
