The countrys resources, especially oil, led to renewed civil war in december 2013. Tens of thousands of people have been forced to flee their villages. Countless have lost their lives. Conditions there are catastrophic. Today south sudan is a failed state. For many, the only medical aid available in conflicttorn south sudan comes from these two women. Betty oli and and Rosina Imolong and their bicycle clinic. Every day the two nurses pedal from village to village in eastern equatorial state hours of arduous effort in the burning heat. They work for avsi, an International Ngo headquartered in italy. It supplies their medications and bicycles. We are very active people. We like our job. We need to work to serve our community. Then sometimes there is heavy work on the side of logistics. There would be no transport. So the idea came out with the bicycles is a very good idea. The government has little to offer its people. Theres no electricity; no water supply; no decent roads. The scant me

Back i could only respond through that email. But what i meant to say is we couldnt find out who was sending it. It was obvious that they were english speaking, however, because, you know, of the commander language. Was there specifics about a ransom number or conditions . When they initially reached out to us, yes. It was ridiculous. Like they wanted 100 million euro or all muslim prisoners kind of thing. And you know, fbi, you know, of course we right away sent tight the fbi and they just said keep them talking, keep them talking. But within a few emails when they realized they were just talking to the family, they had absolutely no interest. And so they cut off discussions until the only other time, sir, was when the french came out in march of 2014, they came out with another very specific offer to negotiate for all americans and all of the british.

As ms. Macdonald just noted, president obama has directly tried to attack his own fbi director for observing that Violent Crime and homicides are increasing. We saw a
From her Previous Post that new yorks department of Public Health and Mental Hygiene and the u. S. Department of health and human services. And dr. Hamburg, we thank you for sharing your expertise with the committee and being here today. Your statement which is an extensive statement, which i got through yesterday, last night, it will be a part of the record in its entirety. Id like to ask maybe, giddy up to 10 minutes to go through that, if youd like rather than just five, but maybe, however close you can keep it but below 10 minutes. Im going to request the record remain open for 10 days for senator smiths statement or questions for the record. A couple things, at 10 30 i have to leave. You probably do, too. Both of us have to leave. [inaudible conversations] good. And then i think, well, we have i think senator franken said he will take over at that time if we continue on beyond that, beyond that time but we are managing a bill on the floor that we have to leave four at 10 30. So ag
