1979 when we had 14 inflation. So thats my tame on it. Amity, please. I would be a little more cautious than steve there and say maybe our problems are monetary, because the prices dont seem to accord with what the government is saying. So, if a certain price is way much higher, and we were told nonetheless we have no inflation, thats confusing. We need another data set. We need another philosophy.

So the fbi doesnt have any authority to go to court on its own . No. We do take them with us, howev however. I am confident of that. I want to make sure people understand and respect the roles of different agencies within the Law Enforcement community, the fbi and the doj. What i intended to start with is your comments on gun violence and let me come back to the other issue in a moment. Do you believe Mental Illness plays a role in some of the incidents of mask on violence we have experienced in america in the last years . I think with respect to specific cases where its been adjudicated we can say that. Otherwise it would be speculation but i will say that i think Mental Illness is the issue i find cutting across Law Enforcement issues today. Both from how we police to overlook a Violent Crime to how we manage our prisons. Circa as relates to how we manage fire arms in this country, essentially making sure we continue to have the right to have responsible firearms owners and yet balan
Detainer to answer to state charges which we do take very seriously, in situations where those jurisdictions have indicated they would not return the person to us at the end of a state proceeding or would not provide us information, in fact we madam attorney general my time is winding down. First refusal there. One last statement. I think if you read the policy words matter, and its laid out in black and white in clear words, that thats absolutely wrong, part of it says the nop about. D, Police Department, shall not engage in assist or support Immigration Enforcement except as follows, in response to an articulated direct threat of life or Public Safety or when services are required to safety execute a criminal warrant or court order issued by a federal judge, close quote.

Important topics. That is coming up in october. We have a giant delegation, both government and civil society, planning to go. If youre interested, youre all invited. Certainly lots of topics important to us will be discussed. So back to open data and the United States. I mentioned that in 2013, president obama issued an open order eo, executive order, for default information.
