The u. S. Institute of peace. Thank you very much. Hello, everybody. Thank you very much for the commission and its cochairs, for hosting this very timely briefing on the political and security crisis in the democratic republic of congo, or drc.

As it turned out the low bidder presented a schedule that was a year less than what we previously scheduled so that improved the schedule for the bus ramps by a one year period.
