There would have been endless congressional investigation into that what is clearly a conflict of interest. And if you would like further details on this case, i know well because it cost someone a job on the radio, and i left with her as her collaborator, but i know how this story emerged. The investigation process, what the reaction was and how its reacting now. In mexico is problem is that, and i always say this. Conflict with interest isnt even a conflict. Its a way of live. Its the way things traditionally have been done. In terms of Government Relations with contractors and politicians and with another key player in the mexican political system which is telavisa who owned the first house next to the second house that was built and she says she bought with a 10 million severance bonus because she was just an incredible actress, but the issue of conflict, and i say this in a satirical fashion, please. And this was followed by the revelation of the house owned by the finance ministe
Continued activation of the facility we are working very, very closely with the warden staff there to ensure our recruitment efforts remain on target, and were also ensuring that as we build a population, that were making sure that the inmate to staff ratio is where it needs to be so we dont have more inmates in a facility until were very comfortable with the number of staff that we have at the facility. And this is continuing to progress. I know there was a concern at one period of time where the applicant pool was not necessarily where we would like it. But with it the recruitment efforts, were starting to see that we have a very good pool for hiring individuals to work at the facility. So one followup i wanted on the applicant pool. This is an area of our state where people are always looking for more jobs. And so to get people from the area that have strong backgrounds, one of the issues thats been a challenge is the 37yearold age restriction. And has the bureau of prison actually
Coalition for criminal justice. My function behind this is to educate the American People and make them go to the legislators have called for change because at the end of the day, but the Heritage Foundation and all of these advocacy groups allowed for fighting for change in fighting for the reform. If you dont fight to change the laws you will be having this 30 years from now doing the exact same thing. The law has to change and the more the public knows about what goes on in the system and the reality, the more they will fight for change because i promise you the American Public and the legislators who saw what i saw and witnessed what i witnessed there would be in there and outrage and chain.

We ask you all to take your seats if you will. Today we hear from deputy secretary of state John Sullivan on the proposed reforms that he and secretary tillerson are working on for the state department and for the agency for international development. I dont think there are many that question the need to improve the operation of both agencies. A more efficient and effective state department in u. S. A.
