people that could use it for nefarious purposes. is that concerning to the white house? i think, as i mentioned, we have a statement of administration policy on that bill. we will have further updates and when we do, we have have further updates why. earlier today, and testified that the u.s. government believes that russia is supplying i wondered if the white house has any response to that. who was testifying? it is a constructive effort on russia in that region. there are several entities looking into this, and i will say that d.o.d. s response speaks for itself. we understand the intelligence on this. the president has been berearie on it, so i m not really sure
what you re i think the commander s testimony speaks for itself on that. another topic for you, about a month from now, the government will run out of money the president talked a lot about it on the campaign, funding for a border wall. is that a detail breaker if for the president in any sort of government funding measure. on april 29th the cr expires, the continuing resolution. we re working on congress with that, on the fc 2018 budget. i know if you saw the budget they put out, the fy 17 for the beginning of that, and there is 2.5 or i think that is our
