Cong, and for part of that course i have the students play a member of congress, and they try to get a bill enacted through their house of representatives. And thats a great experience for the students and for myself, if for no other reason than at the end i get to play speaker. And then i also teach a course called power in american politics where we learn about different aspects of power in the United States, power of interest groups, power of congress, power of the president , power of people, power of voters.

Chairman. Thank you, general campbell and thank you to all that serve under you for really hard stuff that they are doing every day. Ill be looking forward to the investigation over the tragedy of the Doctors Without Borders hit as it develops. Corruption continues to be a major, major challenge in afghanistan.

French president hollande has said. He says there are many injured, dozens killed. Hes mobilized all forces to neutralize the terrorists calling in the army. He has called an extraordinary Cabinet Meeting at midnight french time. He also says we know where the terrorists criminals are coming from. He did not elaborate on that yet. He says that we must show compassion and solidarity, unity and cool heads. He says terrorists want to scare us. France is ready to defend itself. We also know, kelly, as we have been telling you that one of these incidents took place just north of france at a stadium. Initial reports had said that mcdonalds was the site of one of those explosions. We can now confirm that mcdonalds was not not the site of the attack. Mcdonalds said two of our restaurants are temporarily closed as local Law Enforcement officials have cordoned off the area. So now at this point, we do not know what the site of those explosions were. But we have it from mcdonalds that it was not
