The National Freight Advisory Committee had 81 recommendations that they gave to us. A lot of those we can act upon with an existing authority, including thinking about freight multimodally. Our National Freight Strategic Plan really takes that tack. Some of the other things is that theyve recommended to us is figuring out where our data gaps are. Thats where youll see in our conditions and performance report thats upcoming a real emphasis on where our data gaps are. Also theyve aggressed theyve asked us to look at the work force issues. We have a partnership weve been working with the department of ed and department of labor to figure out what the work force needs are in the freight industry and how we can address them.

Do you believe this broad of interpretation, does that leave us anything with take care clause or is this just an orphan clause in the constitution . That has no meaning if we take this broad of a mission . I think it is what the court and cheney said.

That doesnt mean he cant negotiate a framework agreement. I think the president does have authority to negotiate an executive a formal executive agreement with cuba which would provide a framework for cuban guarantees to american investors who voluntarily subscribed to the terms of these arrangements.
