And as you know, our practices in the place currently are that the travel goes through approvals informally by myself as executive director and the Commission President just to insure that it is within the realm of the ports business and accordingly, and it also needs to insure that we have available budget, and we have been insurancing that such travel and the reimbursement for travel expenses conform with the controllers guidelines for Business Travel and we also take an additional step by the Port Commission, which is the Port Commission and votes to ratify the travel of any commissioner, which is an unusual step in the city but one that i think that the commissioner has shown great leadership on. And some summarizing the written policy, we have added one more step which would be to request that the traveling commissioner fill out a travel authorization form, this is in keeping with the
S p up 13 of the past 15 sessions. We do have a fed decision this afternoon. Even initial reviews of the apple ipad air. As we monitor the hearing this morning in washington, lets get to jim. First, broad markets, weve not had a run look weve had this month in a long time. Whether youre larry fink or others, people asking serious questions about when in ends and how it ends. You keep thinking it should end and then General Motors comes out with a quarter that says, hey, listen, were back, too. You keep thinking it will end and then i sit back and listen to some of these Conference Calls and various industries. Buffalo wild wings. You can say theyre small potatoes but theyre blowing the number away. Gilead last night, a remarkable quarter. I keep getting stunned by the facts, even though the thesis should be were too far too fast, the facts keep baring out the rally. Not to mention the fed is not likely to taper any time soon, lets say. There are those like fink who are saying maybe wer
We thought it would be ready. Indeed, it was ready. I dont think we had visibility did you express concerns about writing this dcms . All of the concerns and risks we saw based on the testing that we did see and didnt see that was unrelated to our work, our work as a matteroffact we felt was on track and we expressed that to them as well. Ms. Campbell, my time is a. Would you submit those memorandum communications to us within 24 hours, please . Once again, under our contract with cms, we if we have permission to do so.

The argument been would be we will never really she because there is a risk if we release you. Thats not good criminal Justice Policy and i dont think its good counterterrorism policy.
