Specific do you think we couldve done it within 24 hours . Then we look at the information that we had at the moment that we heard about the event and the first 24 hours, 48 hours and you watched how the information changed and you saw that most of the time the initial information was not 100 correct. And evolves over time. So you are dealing with this evolving situation, uncertainty ambiguity, yet you still need act. And i think the importance of leadership is in that type of an environment where the information is never going to be complete but its going to be inexact. Is going to be a lot of ambiguity. You will be looking through the fog. You are going to need to be able to give advice or someone is going to need to be able to give advice to leadership in terms of options of actions.

There is more pharmacies than post offices these days. I would think that we would use an existing system with a controlled mik nism rather than rebuilding one for a redistribution system. I agree i think we want to use any and all capabilities for Counter Measures. There may be particular scenarios where that may be more attractive, for example, a pandemic, where you want perhaps you want to distribute antiviral medications. That is not a attack scenario.
