And how did you do your job, its funny, took me a while to figure out the parameters of the job what are the things i came to the conclusion was the way we tell our story is will be to our store to ourselves with american media, newspapers, magazines, tv. Rather than produce content ourselves i used to do during the cold war i thought lets show people how they cover ourselves. That was one part of it. The other part was the more strictly Public Affairs things where people are standing in front and you have to have the government line. Its safe use of your stance on issues, heres our policy, make
