I think we will go ahead and get started or good morning. I am the Vice President here. I am delighted to welcome you to todays important and timely event. Many of you know, we were founded 35 years ago by members of congress as an independent, nonpartisan National Institute charged with the vitally Important Mission of preventing, mitigating, and resolving violent conflict abroad. Odays topic is near and dear we have had an office since 2002 and are working closely with the afghan u. S. Governments and others to address underlying causes of the stability and violence. Dedicated considerable effort in the last care years to support research, dialogue, skill building workshops, and policy analysis both here in washington and afghanistan.

We recently held a workshop in istanbul with work leaders from afghanistan, most of whom participated in various a couple of mon
Of the government today. His time in the military is part of the collection being in the military, one day i was a distant person who wanted to be met. They said that the soninlaw is such and such a person. I said its fine. I took the phone and told my dear Office Manager to ask them to have dinner. You did this. If he is your soninlaw and you support him, you should know that we are dealing with him. If we share your criticism , they did not do it.

To us. Hes gone on still on the campaign trail, still working through. Republicans have not waited to solve this problem. Congressman is going to struggle with the numbers as mitt romney did during the debates. They dont add up. If you dont increase the tax rates on the highest 2 , you cannot generate enough revenue for deficit reduction.
