Have now and there wasnt this consensus around doing those things. Those are two things that have come together that i hope will get carried forward in the next few years to really reach those goals. Anyone want to add on optimism or post 2015 . Let me just say that in my incoming address at the close of the Conference Also tried to share in that optimism but also back away a little bit from putting ourselves in a position where our concerns are 2030 and saying really what do we want to do by durban, which is two years from now. If we just keep the pace were going at, we should add at least, you know, 4 million or so more people on to treatment between now and then. That would be actually where we are plus a little better. And it seems to me that what we need to do with this every twoyear global convening is to start to use it more as an accountability tool and really to use it more as a formal way to measure where we are and what weve achieved. I feel just for myself the new goals, th
To how one gets to a closing guantanamo . I dont think it is that complicated once we decide the we are going to do. The argument been would be we will never really she because there is a risk if we release you. Thats not good criminal Justice Policy and i dont think its good counterterrorism policy.

There are many, many Public Policy arguments over the course of my great that a frustrated me. Its amazing how people lead to incorrect conclusions and then the same irreversible. But the notion that we cannot hold dangers people safely in the United States to me is patently absurd. And yet, it drives the debate. The reason that we have not close guantanamo, keep in mind, it wasnt some big liberal goal, gates, john mccain, george w. Bush said we should close guantanamo. Why havent we . Well, ill skip the political argument for the moment
With that, i yield to the chairman emeritus of the full committee. Thank you. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to make the Affordable Care act work. I remind my colleagues the last perfect law came off of the top of mount sinai with moses, written on a stone tablet. Nothing so good has happened since. I urge us to use our best efforts to see that this law goes into effect and works and that we carry out our responsibility to the American People. To see to it that we do everything we can to defend the laws of the u. S. I have heard some unfortunate things on the other side. They said we have to do everything in our power to prevent obamacare. Obamacare, get rid of it. Our friends on the other side have forgotten that. I hope they will continue to forget it. We have a chance to see to it that the American People get health care as a matter of right, not financial privilege. I am very frustrated, at least as frustrated as anyone else in this room, about the problems facing healthcar

Colleagues to work with us and work with these witnesses to get it right. Thank you. I yield back. Thank you for being here today. I have a series of quick questions i will like to get to. How many change orders have your received by estimate, either formally or informally leading up to the launch, and what function do they want you to perform . We have received approximately eight change orders. When was the most recent . I believe as recent as august of this year. Ok. I dont know the answer to that, but i think was a low number. Ok.
