Actually participate and make the changes. A lot of work ahead. I really want to thank the cochairs from a team point of view. When they added this last panel im thinking another facility, work behind us, my team is going to kill me what are we doing. Quite frankly this was brilliance at its best to be able to wrap it up put a bow on it as we go into deliberations, as we close this public part for the community, as far as the hearing listening session i think theres no better way to start the next chapter. So thank you for your leadership. With that, i think were ready to close. Madam chair and mr. Chairman, i turn it back over to you.

They are not the same people dedicated to producing the light, sweet crude thats produced in the oil sector, for the most part. So if you offer discounts to asian consumers at large so that they become beholden to your type of oil and they build refineries specifically dedicated troo processing your type of oil its going to be harder for them to switch to somebody elses oil down the line. So it makes sense to keep the price a bit lower right now so that asian consumers build up refinery capacity for medium and heavy sour sulphur rich, saudi type oil, and you try and guarantee your market down the road when you will be putting on the brakes and sending prices back up. Okay, this is kind of thinking about the supply and demand side of the market, but there are other factors that we need to think about that i think people dont often like to consider.

And in fact this actually started around the area and this includes where siberia and liberia intersect.

And so nice chain of events, if you will, with transmission moving from very remote areas into urban areas. And that is one of the most notable features of this particular outbreak. And they are found to be over 8000 suspect cases and half are little but more than confirmed.

So in the democratic republic of congo, the outbreak is actuall
Good morning. Im honored to be participating in this prestigious symposium. I will say at the outset that is the director the Research Facility we are in the business of developing countermeasures for those organisms which require high levels of biocontainment and what keeps me up at night is what happens if one of my lab workers catches this experiment. We do have medical Treatment Facilities and special containment studies unit in bethesda. We will handle cases of occupational exposure from the four teacher campus. Cdc has memory and two years ago i convened a symposium with two colleagues rick davey and lisa hensley bringing the medical directors of those various facilities together to review medical countermeasures that could be possibly prepositioned in those facilities so they would be available on short notice. It was somewhat disturbing at that time that there were no countermeasures. The best we could do was to review the literature and see where things were in the pipeline an
Were working hard to make that happen so that the will of a place to come to, a refuge in case of whatever may happen. The interpreters are very much at risk. They viewed Death Threats and serious potential risk. It is the least we can do your show our thanks to them for all that the reference. And the will to say one other word about the final brother. He was in a medal of honor battle for which a u. S. Staff sergeant and special forces posthumously receive the medal of honor. And he a captain he pulled out was given a letter that said that his behavior in that battle was just the same as in a of a number. Some of these arent ordinary people.
