Asymmetric strength is our economy for their asymmetric strength of some of our good ideas like these and the debate with ukraine could help with these ideas and that would go a lot further than some of the other ideas. May i ask each one of the witnesses just very briefly, dont have a lot of time on this question of Energy Efficiency and natural gas that we help with rivers flowing other issues but the real issue do you all agree this is an area we should zero in on and that will make the bigger longterm difference in any change in our Energy Market . Energy efficiency in the ukraine helping ukraine produces on natural gas is a good thing and i think we actually went that direction in 2012.

Making a statute enforceable is a real art. Part of it depends on crafting a penalty that is realistic and enforceable. My sense is that we still have work to do on the penalties under title ix first because the penalty hence the students more than anyone else. It is, right now, very draconian for all those reasons it probably will be enforced. It would be nice to have a statute that was often force in. Really this out to be an area where it should be because the universities of to be eager to be complying with the standards and expectations that title ix creates.

And the reaction that we had 9 11 that you referred to and iay be overstepped understand what you are saying, that is the way congress tends the nfortunately reaction would have been to the opinion,re we where we wouldnt be here today talking about modifying them in a softer way. We be talking about modifying them in a stronger way. Mr. Baker, you at Homeland Security, you were at Homeland Security until 2000 or yes being on the show much access you had to redo any cases that may involve the use of 215. But can you shed any light on this from the standpoint of any, number one, abuses older reasons why Even Stronger reasons why e15 should be maintain . I heard mr.
