Association manufacturers association. Remember the ipad wasnt invented when adsb cannot. There some type of lower cost of ice that could be like our cell phone. General scovel, the faa seems to be behind on issuing rulings on drones and integrating uas, uab, whatever want to call them, integrating them into the airspace. How far behind on the no . Are behind. They are behind the mandate established by congress in the last reauthorization from 2012. We should say we really mean it this time. Well, yes absolutely. And it would certainly help everybody if the agency listened. Faa was slow in designating its sites, six of them. They were finally designated, again for switzer congressional authorization or mandate, but we have found that the agencys plans to develop data and to learn from the results that accrue from operations at these test sites have not been prepared to the agency satisfaction.

Negotiators with iran is how many good ideas they have come up with. And i would simply note to our audience that even david has come up with very interesting ideas that he slips in in the middle of paragraphs in his testimony. For example, when he testified last week before the house he said a sounder strategy involves including disablement steps with the destruction of a limited but carefully selected set of equipment. For example, the deal could include the destruction of certain key equipment such as vowels and pressure or flow measuring equipment.
