Zoe Lofgren

If I may, I question whether that can survive as a model either.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would ask unanimous consent to insert in the record a letter I have received on this subject from 52 Nobel Prize winners in favor of open access.

Well, I just--my time is just about up but I would note I haven't heard anybody cite data, and since this is the Science Committee, we are data-driven.

I think this is an important hearing.

I am a cosponsor of the Federal Research Public Access Act because I think if you take--if you really dig down into it, you have to reach the conclusion that that is going to serve us better.

I would hope--this is not the subject of this hearing, but I think it would be a good subject for a hearing.

the current model is going to fall apart.

I agree which is why I am a cosponsor of the bill, but I think even if the bill does not pass, this model is dead.

Essentially really this is a copyright exception if you want to get down to what we are talking about.

According to the judge who presided over his Federal lawsuit, the case represented 'one of the most, if not the most, egregious 8th Amendment violations the court has ever encountered.'

Do you think those things really go too far?

I would like to ask unanimous consent to include in the record the following statements.

I think it is very easy to pick on the most vulnerable people, and I think that is some of what is going on here today.

I do not think that it is a hospitality guideline to prevent rape of detainees, women who have done nothing wrong.

Throughout this Congress, we have seen elements of what I think of as sort of a Republican war on immigrants.

I indicated a willingness to write a bill that would actually work to make sure that an individual like this could, in fact, be deported.

I was deeply disappointed to learn of the title of this hearing, 'Holiday on ICE.'

the case of Mr. Boubacar Bah's death, previously articulated by Representative Lofgren, is a case in point.

If this were in place earlier, Ms. M.C. and countless other women could have been spared rape.

Do you think that really goes too far to say that the male ICE officers should not strip search the women detainees?

That individual should have been deported to Vietnam. Vietnam refused to take him.

The new reforms could have spared Francisco Castaneda from amputation of his penis and then death.

How could that be--how can that be a smart decision?

To be against birth control is a right in America. To deny birth control to American women is way beyond what is right.

I think it is important for the women of this country to have that choice for themselves, not for you to decide.
