[inaudible conversations] next day here in looking how veterans are transitioning to civilian life. In a washington journal segment on the destruction of chemical weapons and later a discussion about brain injuries and the elderly. A lot of people dont know how difficult it is. I dont know one person may be in this room that can juggle the things me and my husband have to juggle every single day with having three children on medical disabilities going back and forth to work sometimes maybe having too taken under the table job just to bring in extra money. There isnt a lazy bone in my body. There are many people that live in the inner city under the Poverty Level that are not easy. We want to be a part of the conversation. We want to have fulltime jobs and go to school and go to college and things like that and i actually believe that certain people just put the stamp of sleazy on us and to put a smoke screen that could not can not be able to see what is really going on. To point the fi

T ÷gij onlyl a fewm÷tn questi that i havep about it because g that arelcyrm1bc historians and other lu÷ archi that are interested in helping language thateks wqb u they don t and i j] . Gd toukyk up k the first part involves where you say in the individual who involves such lawful duty basically can provide information on these headstones. A lot a lot of the interested parties are having trouble understanding the language of such lawful duty means. I assume it means the duty to provide a headstone.

The second is your proposed rule creates a date on the calendar. The the date we entered world war i, but as you no our archival records and procedures actually say basically anything 62 years back and further.

Current target range for the federal funds rate remains appropriate. The Committee Also updated the federal funds rate indicating that the Committee Judges are beginning to normalize the stance of the Monetary Policy. This new language does not represent a change in the policy intentions and it is fully consistent with our previous guidance which stated that it will likely be appropriate to maintain the current target reach for the federal funds rate for a considerable time after for the purchase program. But with that program having ended in october and the economy continuing to make progress towards our objectives the committee judged that some modifications are appropriate at this time.

There are other areas of our strategy that we prefer not to have. Preserves because it the president s flexibility to carry out the strategy, he intends to sign the bill.
