Was talking about. So that made the conundrum period youre talking about much easier for our crowd because, we had the agenda in a 300 page book that people had internalized. People those who had worked for the campaign. We had the game plan set out for us and the reason i say that is a blessing, that we were blessed and having to run the campaign is that it made the george w. Bush administration unusually well prepared to govern and the said development and a lot of and are campaigning now is that policy does nothing to be that important and i think what we need to find is a way back, i dont think a particularly helps of the country thinks it is candidate is not bright. We need to find a way back to a mode of campaigning and politics where the candidates with the agendas and the agendas that suggested people, and what the people do in the first hundred days is what the country wants done. I think that is good be critical for our politics Going Forward. You could say that the most impo

You know, china has demonstrated some advanced capabilities on cyber. They havent conducted anything that might resemble warfare, per se, but they have stolen military secrets from the United States. That starts to see an area thats moving closer to offense than mere security and espionage. Russia has devil straighted a real cyber offense capability if you look at the war in georgia. There was a demonstrated capability to go on that kind of offense. And another looking to do a good job of that, if they want to is israel. If you look at the joint effort of the United States and israel to create the stuxnet worm that went after the Iranian Nuclear capabilities thats another major area. There might be some terrorist organizations interested in developing that. But those are the big players on the international scenes, the nation states to have any kind of real severe ability to conduct attacks. The nsa with north korea a lot of countries would probably have that capability. Its easier to
If you post an immunization rate and they are lacking, they will come up. I suspect if you did that for elementary schools, we are going to post the rate of the children immunized here, so what are your comments on that . First, i would like to agree with your last comment about posting rates for schools.

If a pediatrician pushes immunization, she is more likely to convince someone to vaccinate them if she is passive, thats ok, i will sign a no. To what degree are we posting individual clinics or to individual schools . It seems like you should be doing that in santa monica. The rates for School Vaccination are Publ
Capital gain, youre going to end Chuck Grassley up with much higher, generate. And indeed, thats whats happened when president clinton came in. Capital gains went back in and the rates went to 39 . And seems to me that theres a lot more coherence in a bill with a lower rate that treats capital and labor the same. Thank you, senator. Thank you, both, for coming. I want to start with something you both touched on in your opening statement, but to get more specific, and so ill start with with senator packwood, but ill ask senator bradley the similar question. It deals with the robert bob w. Packwood process of president ial reform. Do you think tax reform would have happened if president reagan had not made tax reform a priority in his administration and a follow on and then isnt it going to take at least that much commitment or involvement from president obama with with his own party in congress to get a tax reform bill enacted and then for senator bradley, could you share your thoughts
