Io at risk this evening, and the threat is just beginning. Poisoning risk. The alarming rise in children accidently eating these products, with potential deadly consequences. And is lemonade sweet or sour for music fans. Beyonces new album, and more controversy, does it call o [cut husband jayz for cheating. Night announcer fro rim nbc news world headquarte in new , this is nbc nightly good evening. If you cant beat him to the finish line, then just move the finish line. That seems to b t sum up a deal republican ma candidates ted cruz and john kasich have struck with each other in an effort to deny donald trump the nomination. It has trump fired up and firing back tonight against what calls a rigged system. Agreed to concede states to the other to keep trump from reaching the delegates needed to clinch it.

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.

Thank you very much. Thank you for calling this hearing, mr. Chairman, and trying to get to the bottom of some of these questions. I appreciate the line of questions.

So it is virtually impossible in your opinion. Thats my opinion, yes, congres
Problem after problem after problem and nothing we seemed to do seemed to be able to fix it. Moving antoine there was the right call. Hes dramatically improved production in almost every aspect of baltimore since hes been there. Its kind of like if you want to replace an infantry commander at ft. Riley, kansas, you dont go out and look at a bunch of applicants, you say who is my best infantry colonel or general promotable that i can put in that position. Antoine was the person in that case. If you could go back in time would you still have signed off all the moves highlighted in the Inspector Generals report . If i could go back in time i still would have made all the moves, yes. Thank you, mr. Chairman, i yield back. Mr. Pummill, is there any reason why you could not inform this committee of what the proposed actions are . Im sorry, congressman . Is there any reason you cant inform this committee as to what the proposed actions are . I was told by our Legal Advisers right before this
