It is not putting legislation on the floor to draw attention to it, again, is not something that happened when president bush was president. And this happened repeat dwli. And do you identify the error as bringing this piece of legislation today as opposed to the error being failure to bring this piece to the Bush Administration.

That is why development of nonfossil fuels is also important and and all of the above Energy Strategy will be critical, whether we are dealing with the conflict today between russia and ukraine, or some other issue down the road. Caller one issue host one issue that did come up today was human rights. What biggest what are our biggest Human Rights Concerns in china . Guest probably most people have been heard about what is going on as well as in hong kong and the National Security law and the elimination of the one country, two systems model.
