That more accurately was able to define this program in an ongoing manner, what would that look like . Ideally, if every vehicle on the road or at least a large sample on an ongoing basis were equipped with sophisticated Data Collection equipment, including cameras, that would give us a great deal of insight into many of the intervening factors of crashes, including drowsiness. Short of that, i would really like to see in the National Data , which i believe is the only ongoing data system that has the means to make a reasonable determination of andher a driver was drowsy whether fatigue contributed to the crash, not in the same way but much better than simple investigation of police reports. Collection system and to be beefed up in size a number of investigations were to be done each year and of ,ittle more depth were added analogous perhaps to the Motor Vehicle Crash Causation survey, which was a one time ever done to 2007, with not only the drivers but their families, their employees

Nice to be here again. Nice to be here with you, lynn, as well. The American Cable Association is unique in the fact that we represent many smaller Cable Operators across the country, and everyone always asks me, are there still small Cable Operators left . In fact, there are nearly 900 of them in every corner you can imagine, rural areas, small towns. Many of them are providing Competitive Services even against some of the largest providers today. And whats great about these smaller companies, its a terrific story because theyre providing broadband, highspeed broadband in rural areas that desperately need Broadband Service.

States are already participating in their own market based programs to cut pollution. From carbon. I should make sure that everybody says when i mean carbon, it means more than 35 states have clean energy targets. More than 25 have already set Energy Efficiency goals and have cut their energy waste and over 1000 mayors across the country have signed agreements to cut Carbon Pollution. Clearly, states and local communities are doing their jobs as incubators of innovation leading the way to cleaner, more affordable, more sustainable energy.
