That seems to be something we could fix. These are fulltime positions. They were off moving to a fulltime position. These are fulltime, very demanding tough positions, but they are not at a level that they were asked before. Okay. Thank you. And is it typical for all to be directly even when they volunteer for position, and im sorry you may have covered this country is about im curious about the direct assignment compared to volunteering. Though, scs can be volunteer or directed. I dont believe that weve ever directed somebody inside out eba. I think thats something we need to change. I think that our ro directors, part of the problem is they remain in position for too long.

Have the forward air observers that would make it more efficient than what youve got today. Can you share with us a little bit about what youre doing to try to improve that situation and how you would like to see that handled .

Like people are married to their work or whatever but they destroy the word. Host anne is waiting in greenville, carolina. Good morning. Caller good morning. I think it is interesting that to say ishis topic the Supreme Court becoming too political. When the Supreme Court made decisions that say the andblicans disagreed with they are very vocal about it, the Affordable Care act and samesex marriage and those things, they were not vocal or had any concern when the Supreme Court took away part of the Voting Rights act. There was no protest about that or when the Supreme Court decided that corporations were people and not all of this money could come into the system without any question. Those are two cases that republicans had no concern about and were very happy with the Supreme Court wri. Host do you think democrats have brought this up . It has become an issue on the campaign trail that Bernie Sanders has talked about hillary as talked about that Hillary Clinton has talked about. Call
For giving us another day. While members come to the end of a long weekend of constituent visits, bless them and those with whom they consult, among those they represent, with wisdom, patience and generosity as they seek law and policy that benefits not only local interests but, where possible, the greater common good of our country.
