To put an exact dollar figure to that. I mention the damage caused by Tropical Storm isabel. That was well over 100 million that was more than just repairing the cost. It gave us more protections. We used that money to build berms, build some of these flood doors and internal pumps. We were able to get that money to make the Naval Academy better and safer. As you see here on the academy grounds, the majority of the structures here are over 100 years of old.

Auto exports, we have quite a strong case to make when it comes to the tpp. According to the agreement, we will this agreement will cut the 30 car tariff in malaysia and 70 car tariff in vietnam. Those are two countries where you have a large and growing middle class. That makes them good markets for selling automobiles. The United States and the negotiators who represented our interests at the table are keenly aware of that and thats why there is the priority that was placed on trying to cut the tariff so is that u. S. Automakers would have better access to those markets. And if youre going to be able to cut the 30 car tariff in malaysia and 70 in vietnam, youll be able to sell more cars and thats ultimately the goal.
