Domestic co2 Emission Standards. Third, potential domestic reporting requirements for aviation manufacturers under the Clean Air Act. Epa has proposed endangerment findings focus on six key Greenhouse Gases but we concur with this approach with caveats. We agree with epa the assessment scientific uncertainties on the Climate Impact of nitrogen oxides or nox and water vapor emitted at altitude remain high enough so as not to address them in this initial endangerment finding. Science with black carbon to Climate Change on the other hand, is clear. Black carbon was identified as the second most important contributor to anthropogenic emissions in 2013 to. To reflect the latest icp should consider incorporating black carbon in its final aviation endangerment finding. Also while we do not support integrating crude nox under the endangerment finding, epa should consider expanding its existing nox reporting requirement for aircraft, Engine Manufacturers, landing and takeoff emissions to includ

But also the lone wolfs, meaning that particularly now as we are seeming to take over the people who came to watch a movie, opened fire and all that, and obviously we have to think about also the future in terms of the environment of the socalled lone wolf now to weaponize, lets say, ebola and take over, you know, entire communities hostage. Let me move on to our friend and colleague, dr. Wayne zaideman, as i mentioned, with his experience for decades at the fbi but also academically. He has a doctorate from nyu on iran, and i asked him to share with us his experiences in the middle east and elsewhere. Thank you, professor yonah. When i took a crisis hostage negotiations course in the fbi in the early 90s, it was focused basically on criminal hostages. And when i asked
