We will have hearing about the National Park service. 2016 represents the hundred year since the park service was founded. We find an agency in crisis. We have good, hard working people who do good service for this nation. They serve the public as attending the parks at record numbers but we are having problems.

To ensuring that you can provide separation. Its one thing to watch it. But if we have no control over it, the difference between being unmanned and uncontrolled. Thank you all. I yield back, mr. Chairman. Mr. Dolan is recognized for five minutes. Thank you, mr. Chairman. I have a question. And perhaps miss bristol, mr. Cameron, mr. Hampton and mr. Rinaldi, id like you all to consider it.

There is a preponderance of gain or movement coming from a handful of stocks. If you look at the movement, you have financials, again, counting for a lot of gains, Goldman Sachs, jpmorgan, travelers are the three top games in the dow. I also want to take a look at the average point swings. This is a look at the increased volatility. This is the average daily point swing going back one year. The past year was 209.
