Sooner. In the letter i submitted the National Conference of mayors pointed out that the Clean Air Act required federallysupported transportation activities are consistent with state air quality Implementation Plans and the largest rail hub in the country.

We are still in internship. To have a digression you have your American University in beirut for more than 100 years. And you have American University in cairo. We even dont have many confucius institutes there. So you can help us for that. The third one is there are emerging, new overlapping interests in cooperation.
