Developing countries respond to that at the summit . I know you met with people on the side. Yeah. There are a lot of things that i saw being discussed that relate to the president s plan. We had and most of the meetings i went to were with industry, so it was really fun. Large industries as well as small.

The first thing the speaker wants to know when he is invited to speak at a Different Institution like smu, who will be in the audience . Will it be 20yearolds . Or will it be people with a memory of that election . The answer was, itll be a mix of people which were no use at all. That is to make some general remarks about the election and specific remarks and give you this handout which is a kind of the menu, if i do not talk about them in my prepared remarks and you have an interest about pursuing, you will have the opportunity to do that and the question and answer.
