That concerns me a lot that the agency needs discipline, and it needs an outsider in some position there to be sure that were not jeopardizing the president s life, by taking care of people who have been our friends for years within the service. ...

Is one that i have a lot of interest in. I want to make sure were getting it right. Because ive been out in major cities and ive seen the end use that is being made with regard to our grant money.
