Problems in a number of ways. But quite often address them in ways they dont address the underlying problem itself but deal with the symptoms. And i think there are many examples of that. There are many i think if we think about International Tax broadly. What does the International Tax do. We go back to the 1920s compromise. Dividends, royalties, interests now that might seem like a good idea in the 1920s but causes problems. We have to figure out what royalties and dividends. And many of the problems of trying to allocate profits between different jurisdictions combined to those kind of problems. Weve already talked, for example, about how we is it corporations that plays effective management control and those kind of issues. So actually, as an aside an aside in five minutes, be quick, but the oecd, for example, is taking the existing system as a given.

Chair will now recognize members from lists submitted by the majority and minority leaders for morning hour debate. The chair will alternate recognition between the parties with each party limited to one hour and each member other than the majority and minority leaders and minority whip limited to five minutes.

This is because the 1908 law specifies that they directly support local schools and road activities in National Forests. Unfortunately

Weve interviewed three crew members today and i want to point out, im going to recapture some of the things that they have said, but i want to point out that these crew members have been traumatized through this accident that they were in. And theyve not fully recovered from their injuries. We did interview the engineer today. Its been widely reported hes 32 years old. He had his f. R. A. , federal railroad administration, required physical just last month. Our investigators found the engineer to be extremely cooperative. He was accompanied by his lawyer which is not at all unusual. And the engineer told us to contact him if we needed anything else. So again we found him to be extremely cooperative. He recalls ringing the train bell as he went through the north philadelphia station, thats not a normal station stop for him, but hes required by regulation to sound his bell. May have said horn. Hes required to sound his bell
