and yesterday in massachusetts, we took a landmark step. our governor, governor charlie breaker, declared a public health emergency in the commonwealth and put in place an immediate four-month ban on the sale of all vaping products, both nicotine and thc, both in retail and online. this ban on vaping product sales will enable our state to take a much-needed pause, to take a pause and gather more information and data to inform our next steps, to protect our public's health. we can't stand by and watch the industry hook another generation on these deadly products. it's up to us to confront the facts, sound the alarm and protect public health, particularly in our youth. our goal is simple. we do not want another generation of children to become addicted to nicotine. thank you for commitment to your issue and i look forward to working with you. thank you. >> thank you so much, doctor. thanks tore the entire panel. chair will now recognize herself for five minutes for questioning. last year, the surgeon general declared the use of e-cigarettes a

[inaudible conversation] >> who the wampanoag in massachusetts, basically inhabited the area around massachusetts bay. they were very close allies with the markdowns, when mayflower arrived. again, the mayflower and the rival preceded by an epidemic between 1616 and 6019. on the terrible damage to native peoples beginning in the north, at the river main, all of the way southward to the east shore of the bay. one of the reasons that it passes between the wampanoags and the massachusetts people is that they are in close [applause] with each other. one of the reasons it doesn't pass to the west side is that the orthodox were at odds. and therefore the contacts weren't as intense. two people spoke very closely related dialects and the intermarried. they were military allies with one another. and their fates were intertwined during this early. >> just like the massachusetts colony and the others, i, the dates in the 30s. >> and many ways, focusing on points are missing. kenneth always remained a marginal lively lightly populated prickly and important colony. it didn't attract an awful lot of migrants.

it was always 1/10 the size of the population of massachusetts but massachusetts attracts between 15-20,000 migrants during the 1640s and you might focus on this detail. the women of the great migration at on average eight children over the course of their lives and those children tends to live healthy lives. on average more than 6 of them lived to adulthood. they lived into their 60s, 70s and 80s, this is the recipe for a population explosion. these people swarmed native people still trying to recover from the epidemic which leads to a critical point. for those of us who are familiar with arguments of jared diamond, there's a tendency to place too much process on epidemic disease. i am not discounting how important it was. it did devastating work among native people but if we concentrate on epidemic disease as an accident of history we take colonists off the hook and the fact of the matter is they took advantage of native american depopulation and prevented native people from recovering from that tragedy. that was certainly the case in massachusetts bay. once the colonial period begi

the gentleman from massachusetts. madam speaker, let me just say briefly that this resolution provides better protections for the president than what presidents nixon and clinton received. just like under nixon and clinton in the judiciary committee, the president's counsel can submit additional testimony or evidence for the committee to consider. the president and his counsel can attempt all hearings and raise objections, they can question any witness. this going beyond nixon and clinton, this resolution allows the president's counsel to ask questions at the presentation of evidence. under our procedures, the ranking minority member of the judiciary committee and intelligence committee may issue subpoenas if authorized by a committee vote. these are the same subpoena powers that the ranking minority member was given during clinton and nixon. it allows for greater member participation than under past procedures including a robust process for the minority to propose witnesses and issue subpoenas if authorized by commit
