We were telling, chastising other people. Secondly, i believe that currently, theres a system that exists that is on a bipartisan, bicameral basis, and that is that the appropriators, when they become aware of something that may be exactly what the gentleman and mr. Mcgovern was talking about, it would be a very difficult issue we should properly make sure that this country knew we were not going to find. Come back through the congress, too, and i think we do the right thing. The appropriators have another foreign account mrs. Granger has the ability to withhold match up and i think instead of an official Going Forward and holding these governments accountable on their own, i think it should come from the people who gave the money. Not the people that represent the money, so, i want to be a part of working with you. If you get to that point, also. Is there anything further from any member of this committee for this panel .

I think the fact that we have a very active Inspector General, and i think no one will criticize us for not being active, appointed by the president of the United States, reporting to the people and congress, that is the most important thing out there that may ....
Steinmeyer has had some interesting ideas. He has talked about the fact that, you know, while the Atlantic Alliance may resonate for people of our generation, we have to think about how german youth snowden is much more popular among german youth i would submit than president obama today. I mean obama was a rock star in 2008. If there is a rock star in germany today, it is edward snowden. And that is a serious state of affairs, ladies and gentlemen. And it needs addressing. Stein meyer has proposed a kind after cybersecurity summit or conference or dialogue and i think more than ttip or these far off ideas we need something in the nearer term that really addresses these issues. Because young people in europe need reminding of what, of what the transatlantic the most successful at liance in human history. What it has achieved, what it means and why its important in light of what president putin has done today. Has done of late. ....
Nothing translates to an economy with more aggressiveness we are not just talking about oil and gas. We are talking about everything in the economy being impacted in a positive way by a lower cost of energy. We discovered massive capabilities in energy and this will translate into a huge Economic Opportunity for us as a country. The second thing we have going for us is that we are still the place where great ideas come from. Whether it is twitter or facebook or tesla or, in my part of the country, biomedicine, we are the creative people and we are creating these ideas. The third thing we have going for us is that there is a massive amount of capital waiting on the sidelines to invest in these ideas. So you have a lot of people who are willing to fall and take risks with their money through Pension Funds and whatever else on people who have these ideas. And the force they ....
