Perpetuating the problems of the looking more or just that what we think we can do and not looking squarely at what the country needs to do. Those can be two different things. Does the department do any recalculation of revenues on the chance we could go a bit longer if congress tales to send the president the bill and are there any contingency steps the department is taking in case that doesnt happen . Them when we think about the impact when we think about the impact, it is not a small impact. Internal to d. O. T. , probably 4000 of our employees that would be furloughed. They range from folks on the federal Highway Administration who do permitting work to federal motive carriers. Those are primarily the agencies that would be impacted. External to d. O. T. We send out letters to all of the states and the territories, explaining what we would do in terms of Cash Management in the event that we started to go below the balance. Hes sensually portion of those states and percentages of t
The below listed as an employee. But they do. This does present all the way is to look at this. But im just not sure how large those are. Thank you. Good to see you again. Can we connect a couple of big picture items with a challenge to drive that . To the extent that these are connected a very big issue that has arisen to focus some of the shortterm. Corporations somehow have capital that should be enhancing the technology to show better quarterly results. There are two different issues. Ive tried not to get too obsessed but lets get though longer term trend so i certainly tried to take a prospective to understand what is going on in in the economy. Which is at the heart of the question is an important thing to be had and i was talking before with basic research that we would under invested in but the business will still not investing enough. But that is by finding funding is so important. If you put that into research and development that is terrific also. Led to think the longer run
The availability of drones and the use of drones, and we are scouring our authorities to see what, if anything, we can do as an agency on and well hear more to say about that in the future weeks and months. Are you hoping to meet the september target date . I think hopefully we will meet that deadline or come real close to it, in terms of getting the rule over to onb and hopefully soon thereafter having the rule out there as final. Heres the last one from me. A lot of talk this week about car hacking as result of wired magazine report on the Entertainment Systems in jeep cherokees and a chrysler products where you can get control of steering, brakes and transmission. I want to know your view of the proposed legislation and also where what the department is doing on the subject. Hacking. Look, this is a place where the government and the private sector have to be working very closely together. And we have urged the out toy all Auto Industry to start a roundtable of sorts to focus on iss
Nuclear related sanctions as the grounds to cease performing. But they are clear, and we are clear, that we have all other kinds of authorities. And let me be specific on that because it is important for this whole debate to be clear. Even with the lifting of sanctions after eight years of missiles or five years or the u. N. Sanctions, it is only the u. N. Sanctions. We still have sanctions. Our primary embargo is still in place. And, i might add, for those things that we want to deal with in terms of their behavior, for instance, has below, has below hezbollah, prohibits the transfer of any weapons to them. That will continue. Mr. Flake i think we got that. I just want to make sure that if we say, ok, what was effective on iran . The sanctions on the central bank because it is more difficult for russia and china and other actors to help them upgrade the sanctions. If we decided we want to impose penalties to deter them from terrorist activities, and reimpose sanctions on the central b
Pardon me . My hard pains for congressman, what you need to think about is our security. We are better off with iran not having a Nuclear Weapon. No question. Our primary objective here was to have a negotiation because they were already at 19,000 centrifuge already with enough material for 10 to 12 bomdz, already enriching at 20 and they were a step away from a plutonium react thats true could produce enough material for one to two bombs a year. How we stepped into that. I get that. And we rolled that back. You said that. How long before we knew about fordau. We discovered it. We blew the whistle. How long was it there before we discovered it. I dont know a precise amount of time. Ten years . But congressman, we discovered that and we also im sorry, you let me just say, in 2003 we discovered they were actually trying to make a bomb and we did it without inspectors, without this regime. Youve said all that. This is about the trust you keep saying were going to have. No theres no trust.
