Day on fears that a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff may actually be a lot further away than we thought. More sparring today. Deal, i dont know. If you listen to what they are saying today, scott wapner in for bill griffith. The president calling for compromise in a News Conference today, but here on wall street there is a bit less optimism for the deal than weve felt in recent days. See where we sit right now. The dow is down 56 points. Nasdaq and s p under some pressure as well right now as we there you go. Nasdaq is down six and the s p, maria, selling off as well. Mr. Jobs, more jabs being exchanged on capitol hill today. What was supposed to be a president ial press conference on gun control quickly transformed into a discussion about the fiscal cliff. With the majority of questions focusing on the issue. Washington correspondent john harwood at the white house right now.

Like that happening for a period of time. But i would hope it would be a limited period of time, doctors, theyll come back and say for the rest of our lives we have to wear masks. The road map also talks about doing gps for social distancing, and hotels for isolation for people, giving them free hotel rooms. Are those ideas youre looking at . The gps, thats a very severe idea. Ive been hearing about it. Gps, what happens, a siren goes off if you get too close to somebody . But he was with me for a long time. He did a great job at fda. So were taking a look. I just received it a little while ago, he sent it over. So very good. Go ahead, lets give it a shot.

Recent developments in north korea most notably the february 12, 2013 nuclear test and the december 12, 2012 missile test highlight the growing threat that north korea poses to the United States, our allies and friends in the region, and the increasing dangers of severe instability on the Korean Peninsula. Given this growing threat i believe that this committee needs to take a close look at current u. S. Policy towards north korea; evaluate its effectiveness; and identify any midcourse corrections or new measures that are required to get our north korea policy right. I understand that as we convene this hearing this morning that up in new york the United Nations Security Council is sitting down, right now, to consider a resolution that imposes additional sanctions on north korea.

China draft, includes tough new sanctions intended to impede north koreas ability to develop further its Illicit Nuclear and Ballistic Missile programs. T

Earlier this week i was joined by senator collins, senator durbin, gillibrand, and senator kirk in the introduction revised legislation to combat the straw purchasing and trafficking of firearms. Others have joined us in that bill including senator clow chew char, senator king, and ill plan when we get on it ill offer a substitute we find the provisions with the text of the leahycollins bill. I reach out to the senators, t
Is right, and that we, from this particular committee, provides oversight that if has in the past, and i imagine will continue to do. In our role, it is to continue help agencies in terms of their of violating their progress and making recommendations where appropriate. One last question, and im interested in knowing what is the most common cyber attack that your Company Faces and how that threat could best be alleviated. If you look at the higher risk ones, these numbers sound bizarre, but when you look at the things that used to be a big deal like viruses, there are hundreds of thousands of those, and we protect those pretty well. What we are challenged with the most is threats from highly resource to organizations today that are targeting us and persistent with us. The concern is because those are developed that they end up going down and get learned and can migrate down into less sophisticated hands to work through. I think the fact that we have a Large Organization and by my readi
