Action . Thank you. And i understand your involvement in the establishment of the act more than ten years ago, and i can understand the disappointment you feel by the shortcomings that have been evidenced by our company, and i want to explain to you what happened. The problem that we had with underreporting in the act is a systematic problem that began at the the outset. As you know, it went into effect in 2003.

It is a messy process with the location resources done by things allocated by criteria that might not always be rational. That is the reality of the democracy and the testing of the responsibility and the political executive branch. You mentioned in terms of how to fix it in rationalizing the democracy i think that we could agree you suggested this Public Health czar or official. Any other specific ideas to lead from the federal level on how we can make that process a little bit more rational and Going Forward . Well, i guess i would start at the top. I think the president staff and the cabinet have to come to ....
Just a big nothing burger. A separate video of cnn help producer calling the russia story ds. This, despite the networks nearly nonstop coverage of the investigation into possible collusion between the russians and then candidate trumps campaign. Thats not all.
