Kid books. I got into the dr. Doolittle search. Back in my youth nobody was reading. Nobody ever heard of them until after the movie came out the dr. Doolittle, most people discovered who he was and what it was about. I think it was a british set of books. For some reason i got a kick out of the fact they were talking animals. Our military. Of course the hardy boys and all the others that followed. Thats kind of part of who we were. My mom was an immigrant to this country, eighth grade education. She was really selftaught. She taught herself everything under the sun. Cooking, shorthand, reading, art. All this. I think that probably inspired me. From with each immigrant and how did she end up in east st. Louis .

King, if i can. Ambassador, youve done a commendable job representing the north korean human rights portfolio. I also recognize the difficulties you face since the administration doesnt make the human rights issue in my view enough of a top priority. I think it best a secondtier issue behind nuclear proliferation. Even if its given sometimes lip service by calling it a top priority and constant focus. As such im disappointed that following the release of the u. N. Commission of inquiry report, in my view little has been done. No human rights sanctions no executive orders, and no move for a vote in the Security Council. Ambassador king, can you tell us what is being done at this time to hold north korea accountable for the mass atrocities described in that report . I mean it was a horrific thing to read. And why theres been so Little Movement since the reports release. And then also, are you aware that there are three americans currently detained in pyongyang and im deeply concerned par
The here and focused on whether the governments website will be ready and happy ministrations handling inconsistencies and health care applications. This portion is one hour and 40 minutes. Our last appeared before us october to testify on behalf of one of the contractors who build healthcare. Gov. Our own going concern about the of is one of the reasons we are holding this hearing today. Exactly one year ago today, members of this Committee Member we heard from the administrator who told us healthcare. Gov will be ready october 1. We were told would work and later we found out that was not quite the same thing. The contractors told us the same thing. Our reviews of the website were brushed aside. The rollout of the Affordable Care act it was an unmitigated disaster. We hope to hear from you candidly and honestly about how things are progressing. His new role comes at an opportune time. We will hear from william with the Government Accountability office. Confirming what this committee
Have now and there wasnt this consensus around doing those things. Those are two things that have come together that i hope will get carried forward in the next few years to really reach those goals. Anyone want to add on optimism or post 2015 . Let me just say that in my incoming address at the close of the Conference Also tried to share in that optimism but also back away a little bit from putting ourselves in a position where our concerns are 2030 and saying really what do we want to do by durban, which is two years from now. If we just keep the pace were going at, we should add at least, you know, 4 million or so more people on to treatment between now and then. That would be actually where we are plus a little better. And it seems to me that what we need to do with this every twoyear global convening is to start to use it more as an accountability tool and really to use it more as a formal way to measure where we are and what weve achieved. I feel just for myself the new goals, th
Say hi in you get a chance. Hes a c17 engine guy. Maybe he could build a new launch platform or something. He could probably build anything. Yes, sir, john. Yes, sir. Your title here is strategic agility, and you talk in here about taking advantage of different points. The lesson, though, of acquisition programs in the last few years seems to be dont change the requirements because that causes a lot of expense. So how do you reconcile the two . Are you going to have more frequent overhauls of the program . How do you take advantage of new technologies as they come along without dhachanging the requirements and changing the technology assertion . Our best in this is with the new programs.
