The carbon green coal technologies. My question is on the shortterm energies and Contingency Planning for an Oil Supply Disruption. The questions are the region prepared in terms of Strategic Oil stocks or oil sharing plans for an Oil Supply Disruption. Is the institutional architecture of the region the various International Forum such as the iea, asean, asean plus 3, as well as the east asia summit. Are they up to the task in terms of the regions institutional framework in dealing with shortterm Energy Crisis such as an Oil Supply Disruption using tools such as oil stocks or oil sharing plants .

And my mother and her family, we settled in mecca for dominicans at the time was washington heights. And so to be there yesterday was a wonderful reminder of how far weve come. And frankly, how far we need to go. And i look at some of the metrics of progress, and arne duncan probably talked to you this morning about the fact that we reduced the latino dropout rate by 50 over the last ten years. You look at the aca data, and the uninsurance rate. Latinos are the most uninsured of any population. But thats gone down by roughly 20 in the last year. Thanks to so many people in this room, thanks to the leadership of president obama, and thanks to so many folks who got out there and got the word out in our communities.
