This has gripped all of us in the administration and across the country. We are doing all he can to support the Nigerian Governments efforts to recover the girls, which is obviously job one is to try to find them. They are now missing in

If we dont, all i can tell you is that these programs will not exist as we know them. Socialstion is not if security will be reformed. It will be, one way or the other.

As you would expect, your remarks have generated questions on other topics. Week you rejected the assertion that human activity is causing climate change. Action taken to curtail this activity will destroy our economy. How do you propose that the country deal with the impacts these ships could have

I believe you have the qualifications to do the job, but there is much that you will need to do in order to assure members of the committee that hhs is heading in the right direction. It is a turbulent time that lies ahead. One of the greatest challenges shoring up the exchanges and making sure that they are operating efficiently. Recent reports of the numerous issues faced by the state exchanges at something to implement the law have been cause for great concern. States are required to have a Healthcare Exchange where citizens can go and shop for Health Insurance.
