Were going to get to tax reform because thats a very big issue set in motion by the president yesterday.

Were going to get to tax reform, because thats a very big issue. Set in motion by the president yesterday. But i want to talk about a couple of issues that are also related to the Treasury Department, because theyre an important part of what you do and the country is trying to achieve. Specifically with north korea. David petraeus was just on the stage a few moments ago saying he and others are discouraged by the recent trade numbers indicating that china is still trading with north korea. New sanctions were applied last week. What is your level of confidence those sanctions will change materially . The chinese behavior .
