105 in iowa, that is a lot for us. Just a couple of hours ago i was on a call with iowa state leaders who are at the state Emergency Operations center. Let me say that again. Emergency operations center, an e. O. C. You just dont set those up for fun, folks. You set them up when your state is in crisis. They gave us a picture of whats going on with our workers and our Small Businesses on the ground in iowa. Within three hours the state received over 11,000 calls for Unemployment Insurance. 2,000 of them are selfemployed. They wont qualify for Unemployment Insurance. You know what would relieve their hurt . This package, phase three. Meanwhile my democratic colleagues are holding this bill up that would actually deliver the relief that is necessary for these workers that i just mentioned for things that have nothing to do with a crisis. Senate democrats are stalling funding for hospitals and Small Businesses until they get to jam through their Green New Deal. Mr. President , you tell me
Irans government in the dialogue on postindependence political issues such as boundaries, terms of recognition and economic issues. Our recommendations to the International Community include understanding that i Iraqi Kurdistan is moving towards independence. Work with the Kurdistan Regional government and iraq and other neighbors to support the development of a transparent roadmap and timetable for the possible decision by the iraqi kurds to separate from iraq transparency would enhance stable postindependence relations. We should also provide direct assistance to Kurdistan Independent High Electoral Commission so that the design and conduct of any referendum on independence beats in the national standards, and we should dispatch monitors to verify that the referendum is a free and fair. Secondly i wanted to touch base on the need for a stronger effort against isis in the region. The kurds are key to the fight against isis both in syria and iraq. We were all impressed by the u. S.

Thanks to the exceptional work of the people in this room, more than 14 million americans and counting have received Health Coverage through the marketplace,head cade, and chip. Medicaid, etplace, and chip. Give yourselves a round of applause. Despite an unexpectly rocky start, you all made history by powering through some negative news cycles and keeping your eye on the ball. You stayed focused on educating consumers because they were hungry for the facts about how the law could benefit them and their familiesful you connected consumers with free, inperson help from persons in their communities. You made sure they knew about the opportunities for Financial Assistance, which finally made Health Insurance a reality for millions who couldnt afford it in the past and you stood ready to handle the surge in signups as the deadline approach
Sticking point for the russians. Spent thank you very much, ambassador. I think we want to quickly get to your questions and comments so get ready. Before we do that id like to give ambassador issued your an opportunity to respond to dr. Brzezinskis remarks. First, in the way, and i mean this half cynical, we can say thank you to Vladimir Putin for reminding us that at least a good reason for having nato. Nato was in the process of getting off the radar screen a little bit of the major european and transatlantic debate. Now its back on the radar screen. Thats good. Second, president putin has also, by doing what he did, reminded europeans that there is an overwhelmingly good reason for trying to get our act together in terms of speaking with one voice for the eu to be a political actor that can exercise a significant role, as it should, from dissenting 500 Million People.

If someone understands it is not excluded they are receiving a different date is set. Have you heard him say that, change your view that this scheme, as you put it, creates an inherent conflict .
