Said that the evidence suggests that nationwide were at the peak on new cases whats your evidence for that where the numbers well all were doing is looking at the numbers were looking at our graphs were looking at our models were getting a great response from deborah and from tony and from many of the professionals that are working we have great professionals working with us and i think based on that where were doing very well based on that it looks like were headed absolutely in the right direction but some states are looking at other states and theyre saying i cant imagine what theyre going through because theyre not in that position theyre in very good shape i would say that we have 20 states at least but you really have 29 that are an extremely good shape you have others that are getting much better and i think with almost a few exceptions you have every state that is either doing better or on the way to doing better yet place.

On the federal fuel economy standards, as youve seen in the news, the e. P. A. And department of transportation announced new lower standards.
