Video Clips of CFSAC Meeting, Day 1

Last week (was it only just last week?), I attended the Fall 2012 CFS Advisory Committee Meeting at the Department of Health and Human Services.  I was only able to be there for a few hours, and I gave my testimony during the public comment period.  The HHS has posted video clips of each section of the meeting on Youtube, so I thought I'd share the links here for everyone who wasn't able to attend the meeting.

I think I will post the clips from Day 1 here and the clips from Day 2 in another post, so it's not too long.

Welcome and opening remarks:
