Do you and arnie duncan sort of sit down and talk about how you interact and how to change what education means and what continuing education means in the labor front . I would ask the president of conversation. What the president understands, and i think the biggest adjustment we have to do is there are multiple pathways to the prosperity and apprenticeship is one of them. Community college etc. And the workforce innovation and opportunity that is a joint venture between the department of education and the department of labor. But it does is end and that the collaboration between the two agencies. One more quick example weve done a lot of collaboration and redesign in high school for the career Technical Education so the sixyear High School Model that some of you in the audience and twitter may have seen is a remarkable example of how to create pathways to the middle class.

And that seems to be the word that i am getting. And to focus on how we get the hispanic vote it is disingenuous but to be nonpartisan with the atmosphere but back to mr. Trump a and he is not a republican but it is somewhat concerning but there is actually a falling out there. Like most rubio looking in the background who was there and it is predominantly is the anglosaxon protestant per everyones right you will see an asianamerican or hispanic or africanamerican but this is the concern in texas. Everybody talks about the hispanic population with the asian constituency as well so with the firsttime voters than to the growth of the hispanic population is somewhat meaningless. If we cannot generate and excite and engage people it doesnt matter how fast in the particular segment is growing if we dont exercise the right to vote but the message that came across the College Campuses was trust they dont trust elected officials. There is a reason for that and it is ironic if you pull congress

Hamas ty government, minister declared, and i quote, that the whistling bullets, the sound of bombs and missiles exploding and the capture of Israeli Soldiers was music to our ears. By supporting the agreement youre giving hamas the opportunity to weave incitement, violence and terror into the basic fabric, just as it did in gaza. Mr. President , the citizens of israel want to live in peace. We want to see our children without d grow old running for a bomb shelter or utting on an army uniform. I hope someday we will read about attacks on jewish people in history books rather than newspapers. But that day has not yet come. For now we are forced to wage war against a terrorist group ommitted to our destruction. As we speak, night has fallen on israel. Rather than sleeping soundly in their beds, our sons and daughters are out there in the darkness standing guard over rael and the people of scrawl. In the book of psalms king david says [speaking foreign language] too long have i lived amon
The departments relationship with Small Businesses that can take part in the sbirsttr program and it encourages the secretary to enter into agreements with the program at the National Science foundation. Our National Labs have been at the cutting edge of Technological Development and we must always ensure that development is in the national interest. A discovery lost in the labs is a discovery wasted. Thats why id like to thank my good friend, mr. Kilmer, for partnering with me in this effort, as well as mr. Fattah and mr.
