Proposal. There is another important step we can take and all of our discussion about education and teachers, thats not going to raise a way for students tomorrow. It will be 10 to 20 years from now. We consistently hear that federal aid is decreasing and federal mandates are increasing. Can you say what they can do to improve the lives of those . We have been doing a lot. First of all, we tried to be as flexible as possible. There is a number of places where we have shown that flexibility. Going forward, they depend on what we are doing in the federal budget. Thats why that debate over how much we will invest over infrastructure and feechers and research and programs like the cops program. All of these things are contingent on this broader debate over what to do about the spending levels. Thats one that we think is very much on the side of the nations cities.

That he will act on his own some time between the election and the end of the year. And i assume everybodys here ready for me to tell them the details of that program, right . Okay. What i will tell you is this. Were going to be ready. Our agency will be shouldering the primary responsibility for executing whatever it is that the president and then in turn secretary johnson orders.

Providing weaponry to it the ukrainian government. The Prime Ministers statement yesterday mentioned that some nato partners were providing weaponry to ukraine. And i saw a list of five or six countries. The uk was not amongst them. Why not . The uk doesnt believe that there can be a military solution to the conflict in the ukraine. Ukrainian forces mad s made significant gains over a period of weeks after the incident. But we saw over the last two weeks that russia will not allow those gains to stand and that they were merely met with a response of further illegal incursion by formed russian units. We dont want to encourage the ukrainians to believe that there can be a military solution to this conflict. Other nato partners, norway, the United States, france, i think, other countries clearly take a different view. This is a bilateral issue. This is not a nato decision. Its a bilateral decision.

Overall, 95 of all removals since 2003 have fallen within let me address it this way, doris. I want to add one other thing dhs current formal enforcement reflecting on some of the things priorities, and this includes anna said. 99 of removals in fy2013. When republicans swept into power in 1994, they didnt work with bill clinton for a little more than a year. So one way to interpret t
Out to the kurdish and sunni communities. The support for the restructuring and reconfiguration, that is to reflect the balance within the securityf the iraqi forces and i suspect a significant element of retraining and Technical Advice and support would be required. Issues that secretary hagel and secretary kerry will be discussing in the gulf this to provide, in the shortterm, some of that handson training. You are right that the political solution in the end, the way you worded it is it sounds like politics are a time [indiscernible] one can understand that to a certain extent. We actually get the iraqi army to address these extremists. Am i right . The announcement that the Iraqi Government has been formed to puthat we can expect together the package of support for the Iraqi Security forces. There is an implicit bargain westthat countries in the put packages of support for this government together, they will be doing it on the basis of the program that the government has publicly s
