That isnt to say moving away from the funds and theres approaches to having both on the portfolio works pretty well and some of those diversified managers have proven to be good at pivoting from one sector to another and much more nimble than we could in terms of allocating a specialfocused fund.

Some the emerging markets exposure comes through asia and latin america. That brings me to the next page, 17. On the coinvestment front, spurs has been active. Though measured in gradual and in the implementation. Spurs made the first coinvestment in the private equity portfolio in 2014 and since has made an additional 11 coinvestments.

So i certainly hope they would be but i have no confidence as i sit here right now that they will. Senator nelson when, mr. Secretary, when you look at a map like this, a map of syria that i assume you handed out, somebody did thats a mess. And maybe it is the only solution is the solution of a political exit for assad so that we can go after these extremist elements. By the way, i had to leave the committee to do an interview on cnn, and the whole focus that they wanted to jump on was your statement earlier in the hearing that we had only trained up 60. But i pointed out to them what you said was the vetting is very difficult and in fact we are vetting some several thousands additional and the vet is a lot more tore tuesdayous because you certainly dont want to have a guy trained up and then you ends up aiming his gun back at us. In iraq, do you think that this new Prime Minister has the capability of getting out of his shiite mold and does he have the capability of bringing all the s
