Younger people, and bring younger people into the caucus. To become, hopefully the future leaders. One of the things that i certainly believe with all of my heart, and my soul, you have to know when to leave. Nancy does not feel that this is the time to leave, many of us thought that she might stay for maybe this occurring coming year, and hopefully turn the reins over to someone else, but anybodyook around, is really ready to replace her . This is a hard job. I give her a lot of credit for what she has been able to do. It is time that the leaders start looking at, who is going to fill my spot. We are all replaceable. There might be some bumps in the road but i do always believe that younger people it is time for them to take our spots with fresh ideas and new ways of doing things.

Islamic state of iraq in the levant, and on page 15 it says we reject the lie that america and its allies are at war with islam. I would disagree with the first statement, i dont think were leading, but i would agree with the second statement, that we are not at war with all of islam. We are at war with radical islam and islamic extremism. Yet nowhere in the strategy does that term appear. In fact, the only two times the word islam appears are in the two instances i just mentioned. Yet Climate Change appears 19 times. I would ask do you think the National Security strategy has enough specificity to adequately inform the documents of the National Defense strategy and the National Military strategy to actually have a positive impact on executing a strategy for degrading and ultimately defeating isil .

The homeland funding bill. I do not think the democrats did that. The republicans put that in there in order to have a fight with obama about his executive order. I feel that they are so well because the homeland funding bill should be separate from anything else. Anything else. They should not have attached that bill. I would just like you to clear it up for people, and me, to let the people know who attached that immigration bill to that homeland funding bill. Host certainly a topic that you have been writing about recently. Guest republicans did add the rider to limit any funds to be used on immigration. That has been job by some republicans. Some have said, lets do what is called a clean bill for an entire budget bill and that we will separately work on the immigration bill. Again, there are pending lawsuits.
