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.

I am so looking forward to hearing the recap of this because there are so many important issues here. Dr. Gough, such a pleasure to meet you, your leadership at ucla on the center for policing equity is something that is not only vital, in terms of what we need today, it really is the key to a lot of the issues that we face. When im looking at the agenda for the entire cbc foundation events, i see so many different panels on so many different issues, but they all come together in regards to the central issue of our communitys relationships with Law Enforcement and with our government writ large. So many of the issues that you all are tackling all this w

The for policy was supportive of every company when they want to do it a general license this when you got the same request and you up with the same result for purposes of expediency and efficiency. When a general license ultimately swallows up the congressional attempt as in the case of cuba where you are giving a general license for the purposes of travel, and where travel under the administration hosels are supposed to help purposeful elements, and a aneral license is basically good honor system, where you do not actually go ahead and enforce whether or not the person is following the criteria under the purported purposes of that license, then there is no way to know.

Why not call on local knowledge from the engineering teacher who reportedly had already seen the clock and deemed it cool . Ahmed was new to macarthur high school. Could officials find no friends
