Im Brian Sullivan 23 degrees in the new york area. A lot to get to this morning we begin with breaking news. The latest growth figures hitting the tape moments ago how did that work out, lets go to willem. Weve got the eurozone q 3 employment numbers thats the flash estimate.

There are good things about the policy, i would say, things like reempowering congress through the office of technology analysis.

Companies in the sector over the next year, rerun the analysis next year and present more analysis and set of recommendations. I will pause and pass it over to luke now to discuss similar analysis we have done in the Utilities Sector and what we have done here is conducted a similar analysis to identify companies to engage within the Utilities Sector over the next year. This is a separate memo attached to the same item. The way the pages are numbered it is broken up. We tend to say boards recommendation. On which page is the item. I see several items. We can make up the motion but i want to make sure we are on the same starting point. Page 36 has the summary of recommended actions. This is three parts.

I met with certain beneficiaries, plan members, sort of informally, but no formal presentation to city hall. We have not provided an update since the last time we h
