We have hsbc releasing their own data this morning. Lets take a look at the shanghai drop. It is a 2 drop today. Last week was the worst week for chinese stock in over a year. That is what is happening across these markets. Disappointing data, perhaps. A lot of speculation there. And the china market, there are a lot of big movers today. Which one is down for you . A few. Obviously we are following shares from h and ashares. We are watching if there are moves down in any other banking shares. The company is saying it may be forced into consultancy. We will get more on why later on. This Steel Industry in china seeing a bit of a pitch. They are down 3 today. I want to mention. The Mining Machinery is expecting a 75 drop in net income.

Would the administration give back a naval base . That issue is not on the table would the i dont it could be on our table. Would you object . I dont know the answer to that. Let me go to mr. Smith. We have the act that doesnt allow us to deal with Certain Properties seized by americans. You have travel, credit cards, et cetera. How do you plan to make sure american travellers arent confiscated from americans or otherwise violating the cuban solidarity. That act says you cant provide a loan to further transactions about a confiscated propertiment doesnt say you cant stay at a hotel or does the Credit Card Company extend the loan when you use a credit card to pay for a hotel stay at a confiscated property .

We will follow to the letter whats in the act because we have with it in our regulations. We
It is good being with you. Let me first go on record saying i wholeheartedly agree with the president s change in direction.

Whats the strategy for effectively engaging others in the region to be partners in this work now but the policy has begun to change . The second is how can we as a congress best advance this issue of human rights . This continues to be a very serious issue. How do we play world in enforcing Real Progress in helping with the human rights issue and finally to build on mr. Sires question how do we ensure that this Economic Engagement that is intended here intended to support the cuban people does not instead fortified the government at this very critical time .
