Were seeing people who, in fact, cannot be treated with any existing therapy that we have. And i think the threat here to Public Health is we can have emerging epidemics of these organisms if they will spread. Right now they are fairly limited and sporadic but they will spread and well be in a situation where we literally cant treat an infection that is unfolding in a wider sense. In addition each year were seeing greater and greater resistance problems for ordinary microorganisms. So doctors are turning to second or third line antimicrobial agents, agents we used to reserve for very selected situations. And as that occurs more resistance to those will evolve and so eventually well be empty handed. In the case of antibiotics even slight variations in the bacterias genetic makeup, can be the difference between a drug working or not working. Understanding that back terry all resistance compounds this problem many times over yis it important for our antibiotic drug plain that we have mult

Pollution and create 33,000 jobs. Host his point about where the spent, what is eing done to ensure this money stays in the United States and doesnt fund jobs overseas . Note it is important to that the american recovery and reinvestment act which provided the resources had a buy america clause in it make sure was built inssible the u. S. I will give you an example from the wind industry. Years ago only onequarter a wind omponents for turbine were made in the u. S. Hanks to investments under the recovery act threequarters of the components in turbines are made in the u. S. Last month the Siemens Company which is a Fortune Company to have it was going the largest order ever to build 2 turbines, almost billion, to build at their plant mason, iowa.

The statement says significant underutilization of labor resources and a very modest pace of wage increases thats picked up very little i see as essentially a reflection of that. The wall street journal. I want to come back to the Interest Rate projections that put out today. The public i think would be enlightened by knowing a bit more about where you stand in relation to these projections. And with that in mind and in the name of transparency, i wonder if you could describe to us whether youre at the low end of those projections within the central tendency or at the high end . I also want to ask you about a San Francisco fed paper that came out recently which suggested that Market Expectations have been running below the fed zone projections. So i wanted to ask you if you see that as well and whether its at all troubling that Market Expectations might not be aligned with what the fed put out today. So with respect to identifying myself, the committee has had discussions during the ye
We have mobile security teams and agents on the ground with u. S. Marines that are there. Those agents are going to stay for much longer period of time, probably up to 90 days until we are sure that we have a proper security that we can then start replacing them with a permanent personnel that we are going to have on the ground. The 30day rotations as the arb pointed out were not conducive to security operations. Are there any incentives that the department can provide or can think to provide for personnel to undertake those longer assignments . I dont think its a question of necessary or additional incentives. I think its a question that we needed to understand that we are constantly rotating like that was not in our best interests. I think my agents clearly understand that. And i think it really isnt about additional incentives. Its about just knowing that is not the proper procedure and we need to change it. Not a great practice. Thank you for your forthright answers and i yield bac
