The Foreign Policy initiative was established in 2009 as a Nonprofit Organization dedicated to educating policymakers about the importance of American Leadership and engagement in the wo
I think that in and of itself is problematic. I think in 20122013 the position of our country, our administration, and our defense department, as well as our allies was to remove assad and i think it is still our position to remove assad. I think it is clear the position of the russians is to keep him in power. My concern is creating a voice in the region and i dont know what the answer is today. But we will look at it over the next weeks and months. Prior to president peutins airstrikes he went to congress and requested an aumf and got hundred percent approval for airstrikes with no ground troops. Here is what i can is pore an important point and maybe i should not say a hundred percent but the president came before us months ago with an amuf, i always said the president shouldnt be using old aumfs to continue what is happening in the middle east and he did. And congress to this day is not acting on it. It has been sitting in our committees for the past three months. We need to make a
Has such an impact on disease and in addition the issue of ecigarettes where we do not know what either the short term or the longterm impact is from the cigarettes themselves, nor do we know what the implications are for behavior. And, therefore, the nih in conjunction with the fda is conducting research to investigate these critically important areas. Thank you very much. Thank you, senator. Senator cassidy. Thank you all so much. As a practicing physician sometimes still i am so aware of yalls good work and i think we should double your budget because i understand the impact that would have upon my patients. Among which when i did my residency in 1983 in los angeles the epi center of hiv, im very aware what was formally a death sentence is now something you live with. Let me ask because dr. Collins i have been concerned that 20 years ago gia that nih rebalance its hiv spending from the 10 to diseases such as alzheimers dementia which are more important now. If you receive the 7 incr
There have been open source pictures of the extensive nature of the buildup there your conclusion, i think, is right. This is not about simply propping up the assad regime but i think thats a component of it. This is a fundamental shift and i believe mr. Putin understands political math the same way i do. I view it as having to suffer for 15 more months, he views it as an opportunity for that same period of time. And hes heck bent on changing the dynamic. They will now have a foothold in the Eastern Mediterranean for the foreseeable future. Our secretary of state holds a meeting to deconflict airspace when the russians attack in the middle east. That is a remarkable change from whether it was eisenhower but you dont to go to a republican. It was a change from a consistent u. S. Policy, democrat, republican president s alike that said the soviets, now russians, will not have a foothold in will not be the Regional Power inside the United States and we now have the iranian russian axis th
Think i would have voted for tpa. But its a fair point. I think its unfair to say the critics were entirely protectionist or unfriendly to free trade because, of course, its a funny kind of free trade deal. Im old enough to remember that free trade deals were simple everyone got tariffs and they were eight pages long and they were free trade deals and now they are 500 pages and i dont know if its a free trade deal. Its a new version of managed trade and one can make a responsible argument perhaps that its not clear on net its actually freeing up that much trade with all these countries, but i guess that will be a debate you all will have in congress. Theres more transparency requirements in this tpa than in any previous tpa vote in congress. Its required to be public for 60 days so that the American Public has an opportunity to weigh in so that different stakeholders can share their views and i think youll have a robust discussion on whatever the final tpp is presented before the Ameri
