Conjugations of aid and assistance. More, however, is needed coming and we are committed to putting in place medical help required to stop this in its tracks. Measure to head off a recession. Is there any concern to the whitehouse that the Global Economic recovery is at risk . I think my first observations is the conditions you are sighting make the American Economy look good. I saw the downgrading of the Global Economy and they were advising upedwards of the u. S. Economy and that is showing the economy is resilient. I am suggesting the United States is showing resilience and other countries are desperate for that. A lot of that is due in no small part to the policy the administration put in place but the bulk goes to the america workers and a bunch of credit goes to innovators that are the strength of the American Economy but there is no doubt the economic policies in place are envied by the world. Is there no concern . We are hoping the economy of our allies and partners around the
Average person couldnt have done. He was a very articulate person even though hes not known generally for that and hes a very likable person and a decent person. And eventually he was appointed to the court of appeals to for three years after i had been appointed. And so we find ourselves being often competitors to megatrends. We have conversation about it. Kind of hard to do your regular work without knowing what is going on here. And so we agree to it. Each of us agreed to tell the other one if we heard anything about the nomination. Our opportunity to get the job. So about three or four days after we had that conversation, the friday after text giving, president ford called me up. My secretary was not there. Explain the was going to nominate me. Was very pleased and told himself. He talked for a minute and then he said were going to announce this about 5 00 this afternoon here in washington. He said i asked you not to tell anybody about it. I would like to, mr. President , but i hav
Thank you very much for that question. I absolutely believe, we as an organization believe it is an important incentive. It puts a spotlight on research and children. It they risks it at a certain level because there is an incentive and that becomes a very important issue as Companies Look across their portfolios and decide where to make investments to battlers la health of the nation. That in my mind is a big deal. How it could be made better, right now is it is provisional or temporary trial. It could be a stronger statement if it was permanent. We the people want to invest and make incentives and opportunities for research with children. While i have the money there is one of the eighth thing i would like to comment, particularly impressed with the comment about the voice of the patient. And i think as do many of my colleagues within shire and across the industry, though rare disease world, is hugely informative. Often times patients and organizations who represent them know more ab
Thank you very much, senator mcconnell, for being here. He had to work harder than you know to get here because its washington and it rained. And, you know, washington doesnt cope with many things well, including rain and so, thank you for percent veering. And you won the senate. Congratulations. One of my better months. Exactly. You know, let me start with the 10,000 foot level if washington. I think the words dysfunction and congress have gone together a lot in the last few years. Youve talked from the minute you guys won the majority about fixing the way the senate works. Talk a little bit about how youre going to do that and what you have in mind when you say that. Rarely does an issue like functioning resonate with the American People. But it clearly did. There were two things that we heard all over the country this year.

Over the past several years in the administration of attorney general eric sniderman. During this administration, we have had 22 cases that we brought criminal charges in, including two cases announced just this morning. And they are in a wide range of industries. Prevailing wage contractors, tortilla factory, home health agencies, its been a pretty broad range of different types of employers.
