Comply with new regulatory mandates than it is for a larger institution . A very small institution, we recognize there are burdens involved. We have often tried to tailor our regulations so that there is less burden and fewer rules applied to smaller institutions. There has been an increase in capital standards that apply to those institutions but most of the things we discussed today, stress test and other things, liquidity regulations apply to those institutions and tried to make many efforts. To simplify the Regulatory Regime and capital regime for those institutions. The number of changes negatively affect the community to offer products and services to consumers more than it has affected larger institutions . I dont know that it has affected smaller institutions more than larger institutions. I would submit that it has because to be honest i dont know how you started this. I dont know how you start business in this economic environment. Dont know how people could secure capital or
Attracted to the ideology, on the second question, the relationship with russia has been very complex and not to beat around the bush about it, russia is a player in syria and went in there to preserve their interests and at least to preserve it temporarily. But the russians will be key in moving him out at a certain time. Were in Constant Contact with the russians here and we have channels in geneva and people talk to them every single day about the ceasefire and in very extensive and detailed conversations. Our intelligence people work with them to resolve issues of fact. It is challenging at times. Very challenging at times. But i think it is fair to say that the ceasefire has been held in important areas in the country and it is always being negotiated in other parts of the country as well. Secretary kerry has been the best to say, he will not taken in by this and the proof will be in the results. For that matter, the rest of the International Community to advance the ceasefire. Ka

This year, we are seeking to bring 85,000 refugees. So, an increase, and also to g 10,000 Syrian Refugees [applause] anne r. i get criticized from the right and the left on this one. Because friends in one direction say that is not enough and friends on the other side say we are worried you would let terrorists sneak inside the program.

Right now, we have over 40 of the Syrian Refugees and we will see larger numbers in the coming days. We are all over halfway to 85,000. Stay tuned. We have done a lot to try to meet the targets. I mentioned central america
Offer for monsanto in what could be the largest merger of the year fit goes through. The acquisition would create a global giant in agriculture technology. Monsanto traded well below the offer price of 122 a share, a sign that shareholders are skeptical and may not be that enthusiastic about signing off on that deal. But the ceo of behr says the combination makes sense and hes not concerned about regulatory issues. The beauty of this combination is that both businesses are highly complementary. And its very much a growth story that is behind the combination. The products complement each other perfectly. The regional fit is really great. And while there will be at one point or another some discussions with regulators, we dont see this as a major issue. Behr said it decided to make details of its proposal public after reports surfaced last week. Tribune once again rejected a sweetened offer from ginett. The board of tribune which owns the l. A.
