From the strained relationship with russia to the bitter divide between israel and palestinian, u. S. Secretary of state john kerry has a lot on his agenda, he met with Sergey Lavrov, who is raising seriousness about the prospects of u. N. Sanctions. Im appreciative of foreign minister Sergey Lavrov changing his schedule and travelling on short notice to be here. I look forward to our conversations. We have more from rome. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry are and russias foreign minister Sergey Lavrov met here in roman sunday, a time when u. S. And russian relations reached a low, particularly after last thurks the u. S.

It is up to this congress they have been given the mantle we are giving them the game plan on how to proceed and prevent the transformation of this great country. Thanks ve
Is so key, i would like you in your very eloquent way explain to us why certainty is so critical. And if you didnt have the certainty of this federal bill, how it could impact you back home. Again, i know its repetitious, but its important. Thats the message i would like to see go out of this hearing. Again, let me say, i think certainty is the most important thing that we have to deal with. And over the last five or six years, we have not had that certainty obviously. And so we need it to plan.

So were using future federal dollars. And so the certainty is so important for me because i signed a billion dollars in bonds and i want to make sure we pay it
