Sitting around, and we were writing regulations for i dont remember if it was the Fair Housing Act or the housing part of the americans with disabilities act, but anyway we were there and we were deciding you know what the rule should be for employers when it came to ramps and door knobs and sunken living rooms and all kinds of stuff like that. And it was appalling. You know, none of us knows at that table knew anything about the business of how to build an apartment complex. Why were we sitting around, you know making up all these rules . It was just very scary. Hes another part did i hear you say earlier in your testimony that you didnt have to have a familiarity with something in order to do the job . Well, no, i didnt say that. I said that you didnt think you had to be to put it bluntly, i dont think that you have to be a black person in order to be able to sell pepsis to a black person. And this notion that only members of a particular group can effectively market to members of th
Crisis is to get as much aid through as many channels as we possibly can. Whoever is best placed in certain circumstances are the ones that we ask to deliver. Obviously to the extent that they are comfortable delivering given all the challenges that are actually there. You asked, in particular, about the crossing lines and crossborder Ranking Member deutsche. Since the resolutions have passed in the security council, weve had about 54 of those aid shipments reach about 600,000 people in terms of the crossborder efforts. That doesnt mean that were keeping up with need though. So i dont want you to be left with a goodnews story. The needs are vastly outstripping the humanitarian aid that were able to provide. Tom mentioned the enhanced monitoring. We, too, on the u. N. At least the u. N. Refugee agency and others that we support have asked for enhanced monitoring plans. Thank you. In terms of diversion my time is up. And we have okay. Votes on the floor. But would you like for me to reco
Employees. We have a body of law and several years at least of experience. But title 7 has been worked out perfectly but its very controversial. One of the things that developed quite late sometimes 50 years after it passes. For example, right here, weve been told that title 7 can be used in terms of Sexual Orientation and gender identity. Nobody would have thought that in 1964. And maybe thats the right way to interpret it, or maybe its the wrong way. But its wrong to suggest that the language is not going to be a problem, because its not a problem now. Thats not the way statutes work. I understand that but i think its more important in your considerations to address what is the real problem now that we are trying to ameliorate. I think thats the wrong approach. We have a problem we have to deal with it right now. Lets go with whatever good language we have. We want good language. That wont be abused in the future. We want it to cover only the things we want it to cover. Do we have th
This being as secretive. It is very hard for us to give good advice to refugees or Asylum Seekers about the best way to manage this travel. Thats why and then ill stop, we focused on the need for states to introduce structures. Transparent, predictable structures that address the needs of Asylum Seekers and to give them legal alternatives through creative and flexible visa arrangements settlement programs, humanitarian admission programs in order to be able or safe points of departure in order to be able to address their protection needs. Megan, external reconciliation . Thank you for a really interesting question. You know it is certainly true that historically reconciliation process, transitional processes are nationally bound, so havent taken into account the regional cross border dynamics of refugee flows and the ways in which refugees can be as we say in Political Science spoilers in the context of peace processes, which is to say if their needs are not met they can potentially un

That said there have been interesting developments on this front. One of the report coauthors has done Extensive Research on reconciliation and dialogue processes in the arab spring countries which in some cases have had an International Dimension to them. In libya in that case particularly there have been individual
