Who are interested in the issue so we can act in concert thank you fl clarification. That is very substantive. One last expansion, the board adopted level 2 for social policies, in a words engagement so that is why this is relevant working with other entities such as other public Pension Funds that have the staff and resources particularly cal pers and cal stirs that have the staff set aside.

Im not qualified to judge whether the cargo preference requirement achieves the necessary National Security objective of maintaining sea lift with the goal tied to that capacity. However, we at cathly Relief Services deeply appreciate the service and sacrifice of mariners who have helped deliver food aid for the last 60 years. We welcome their contribution that did do not diminish the programs ability. Surely there are other ways of supporting the mariners and maintaining our nations sea lift capacity without penal lizing vulnerable and hungry people. Short of eliminating the cargo pref
