Down the marker for where they stand. you just said for all americans, presumably that includes the top 1%. i would love for democrats to want to help all americans. i don t know why they would ever want to be against that. certainly helping more americans have more money that they worked hard to earn in their pocket, i don t know anybody that would want to be against that. so, hopefully they will be reasonable and want to come to the table. i have a tax reform question but first, just quickly about that charitable donation, will that be coming from trump personally as opposed to the trump foundation or the trump organization? i know that the president, he said he was personally going to give. i don t know the legal part of exactly that, but he said his personal money. so i would assume that comes directly from him. on tax reform if i may, secretary mnuchin said earlier the administration is going to release a blueprint on tax reform that will go to congress. when can we expect ....
Separate and distinct from the debt ceiling. i think we have every reason to believe that s going to happen in a responsible way as well and i ll allow sarah to amplify that if you have additional questions but from my perspective now and from the planning session we had this morning, i don t think there s going to be any particular problem in our approach to the congress in this fall. that s at least my sense. can i ask you about i m just a little confused about your answer to see seon undocum immigrants. is that a yes or no? does the administration support funding. on the undocumented immigrants, eligible for long-term relief, help. what happens once they leave will undocumented immigrants will able to get eligibility standards range across a number of different programs and if you are an immigrant that has commit add crime, you re going to be removed. i guess the question is if you re looking for assistance that s eligible for citizens, you re not eligible in that case b ....
But then, lastly, the question is, do we need any additional noun shore those facilities up so i would turn and answer that a little bit differently. we re not going to get into a position of saying they re safe or not safe, or asking for more money or not right now, what we ll do is continue the controlled release. the reason a controlled release is good is it s the alternative to an uncontrolled release. if you don t do that, you ll end up with the structural integrity failure i referenced a moment ago so as soon as the water goes down, we re going to have flooding for some time, but the big, large, heavy masses of water that are going down and out right now are flowing in a way that will allow us to get in and do an engineering assessment over the coming days and weeks and if there was structural integrity problems cause bid d e coming days and weeks, we ll assess that and put together responsible number, estimate for repair, and then we ll put it forth to congress and very last on ....
there s some talk about attaching supplemental to the debt ceiling increase, some talk about rolling a supplemental debt ceiling increase into overall continuing resolution. from an emergency management standpoint, how important is it to your thinking to get a clean supplemental? well, i think everyone wants a clean supplemental, and so as we tie the hopefully we get a responsible budget, right and that the congress comes together and finds a way to take the president s requests and meet it. that would be an ideal answer. your presupposing that we re going to have a continuing resolution. that s not the best way to run a railroad but based on your question, we might have a cr. if that happens, it s fine. not fine but less ideal but nevertheless fine. to my needs as a emergency manager here looking for a drf supplemental. the drf supplemental should focus on replenishing the disaster relief fund and any other ancillary and obvious needs that might come for other departments and ....
Administration and the president have said, our job is to lay out the core principles, the primary pillars that we want to see in tax reform. it s congress s job to legislate so we want to work through that process and allow them to actually do their jobs. we re going to do our jobs and lead the conversation, set the table, set the priorities, and let them do their job and legislate, get it pass sod ted president can sign it. will we see that blueprint. i think we ve been laying out a lot of those principles. that s the foundation and we ll continue to add to that. is this push for tax reform the priority for the president and the administration right now? have you put the repeal and replace effort to the side for the moment to focus exclusively on your tax reform proposals? as the white house, i don t think you ever get to exclusively focus on only one issue. it s certainly one of the top priorities for the administration. moving into the fall. but as we ve said many times bef ....
