Policy stance with having a Good Relationship military to military with egypts military and our military. Think that when a government or a country with which you are allied does something that you do not like, i think there are different ways of reacting than simply saying were going to punish you or cut this off or that off. We have very Close Military to military ties. Lets use it. I think you have to look at the biggest picture. When mr. Morsi was in power with the Muslim Brotherhood, we had no assurances that the alliance between our two countries would continue. We had no assurances that the peace treaty with israel would continue. We had some assurances but it was lukewarm and halfbaked. Tunnels forof instance going from egypt into the hamas terrorist carry out. That was not done under the previous administration. I think you have to temper it. Mistake. T was a i think it should not have been done. Family. T things in a there were times it you have disagreements with your spouse

The committee will come to order. On january 27, 1838, a young state legislator named Abraham Lincoln spoke before a gathering in springfield, illinois. At the time, america was a deeply divided nation. Lincoln warned that the greatest threats to the young democracy were internal. He said, quote if danger ever reaches us, it must spring from up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. For the nation of free men, we must live through all time or die by suicide, end quote. The actions of the past few weeks, the the extremism of a small core of pens in the house of representatives have put our nation on a very perilous path. For more than 200 years, t
There has been a minority that is held up the ability to go to a budget conference. Quite frankly, the majority needs to speak at some point. Im not talking about democrats or republicans. Im talking about a majority in this body that needs to speak to stop this kind of craziness. Lets get down to real life. Agriculture is pretty big and oklahoma pretty big in oklahoma. Operating loans are a pretty ommon thing. If we default, can you tell me what the impact will be on somebody going to get a oan . We still have to beat. Hopefully the lending will be available in the borrowing will be available. Any time there is the chill, the panic of uncertainty, there is a pullback. There will be a pullback. We will all scramble around to try to do the best we can to find quality borrowers and quality lenders. You will have commercial ctivity.

You know, were going to be talking about box filing and i look at that offering and i say or drop box, too, i say, these are the kind of companies that are putting a lot of pressure on the rest of the companies.
