Were seeing in which we does not like to stick to scheduled and plans and its a little bit longer greeting with the people outside where he is staying before he moves to the white house. He is supposed to lead any moment now. Good luck from tearing them way from the crowds. It brought him from joint andrews yesterday and in the meantime were covering from the beginning and she joins us this morning at the white house. Mary, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Theres a crowd of about 14,000 or 15,000 people that are awaiting the arrival. He is outside of the vatican where he spent last night and greeting the crowd and something that he does. Both he and president obama will be making remarks. The pope will be speaking in english. Remember thats not as he put it on the plan not his forte. He is fluent in spanish and italian and converses in german. When he speaks today, he is speaking in english and also tomorrow when he addresses a joint meeting. They have been warned when he co
Parenthood who has apparently sold the body parts of aborted fetuses. That is not something the vatican or this pope condones. They dont condone the imperatives of providing contraceptives to employees that come out of the obamacare act. They dont condone gay marriage. I mean, this pope has been pretty orthodox on these fundamental values that the Catholic Church stands for and has for centuries. On the other hand, he is showing a great deal of openness and expansiveness and asking for people to be merciful and loving of all people, of all stripes and believfs. And personally, i think thats fine too. Thats christlike. But it doesnt mean that you dont have standards to which you could aspire. And those standards i think have different between the holy see and the United States currently under this president. He is making this visit as a head of state. Whats the significance of that in. The pope is a unique figure in the world. He is the head of state of one of the oldest sovereign state
Sense, its also true that lawyers for the agencies that those responders work for also play a very, very Important Role. And were privileged today to have an outstanding panel of lawyers from various agencies at the federal and local level, some now in private practice, who have served in those Important Roles or do so today. And to give us some insights about the role of a lawyer in Emergency Preparedness and response. And with that id like to introduce the panel by having them introduce themselves to you and then well get right into it. Good afternoon, im adrian sevier. Im the chief county of the Emergency Management agency. Ive been with fema for 15 years. Ive had a variety of positions at the agency starting what we called then a field attorney.

The pope is a unique figure in the world. He is the head of state of one of the oldest sovereign states in the world and hes also the head of one of the major religions were the Catholic Church that has 1. 3 billion people. So he brings with him a great deal of attention and a great deal of moral authority and a great deal of moral curiosity. And thus all the interest. I mean, you dont see the pr
Models for departments for the federal government are very organizational, departmentalspecific. When we talk about trying to understand and bring data together and consolidate, i know treasury is doing a great deal of work on this as well, trying to figure out how do you move the data between systems, but then how do you move the data not just between those systems but between the systems outside of the federal government. That becomes a cultural shift that has to happen. And its going to take a lot of buyin to make that work. But that will allow for i think a much Greater Movement of information and data across the government, which will make it more valuable for everyone. Actually just one more thing to add there. On the reretrieval side of things, theres two big things that prevent us from fully automating the work we do. One is, even if the data is available online, oftentimes you need to submit some sort of form or theres some sort of limit on how many rows of data can be downloa
