They dont need any fuel for because they get from russia. Even if you wanted to make an argument that they need to have a domestic supply, they dont need of bombs worth of material for that. So i think that would be another component. I think there needs to be some limitations on the number of centrifuges. David albright on nonproliferation expert incentives among the more, most careful observers of the Iranian Program has suggested an upper limit of 10,001st generation iranian centrifuges. If they 10,000, first generation iranian centrifuges. You would have to reduce the number below that. And allows it on the enrichment aside it would be important for the iranians to we implement the Additional Protocol so that the International Inspectors associate with the iaea cannot only visit declared facilities but could visit other suspected facilities in iran to ensure that they are in compliance with the agreement and not taking a secret path towards the bomb. Which we know from the past act
It it remains to be seen whether they are going to be safety case or performance standards or what kind of regulators they are going to be. Norway is another great example. Colombia has a terrific regulator. Those are other countries that have done this well. And on the fund, i think its pretty much only norway that has done this with the kind of political independence, fiscal independence that mexico has done. I think its worth spending a moments talk about the regulator. Thats the key element right now i think in this. The question a the lot of us have is we have a very small, underfunded commission at this point in time. And in a relatively short period of time, were expectings them to either find the Human Capital or resources in mexico or bring them in from outside. And thats the real danger, i think, here. And david said it very well. Is commission going to be allowed to recruit internationally . Will it have the resources to do it . Is it going to be an attractive enough proposi
Never, i think it is fair to say, since the establishment of this government have i not known whos not. Its not clear that crown prince, can take over. You have that succession at a time when they are reaching the end of the brothers are going to have to confront the question of going to the next generation. That happens at a moment when tensions with the United States is as high as it has been certainly sent 2001 and our influence at the top in saudi arabia is i think as small as it has been in a very long time. Thats an unfortunate combination of events. I should stop there. Rate, thank you, lee. At the outset, i want to say happy holidays to you all, especially those watching on cspan on the rebroadcast. If youre watching this, you should be watching its a wonderful life. Thats what ill be doing. We hope we have a good discussion here. Second, thank you to the Hudson Institute and from the work you do. Im obviously from a centerleft ink tank, but i dont agree with a lot of what you
At a time in which theres been no cataclysmic event that forces us into reforming or renewing these institutions, but a clear recognition that the institutions are becoming increasingly less relevant and increasinglyless capable of addressing some of the very large problems and concerns that the world faces. And be so our ability to kind of reestablish momentum in the u. S. brazil relationship and to insure that it gets back on the kind of meaningful tack that i think both of our governments and our societies want is going to have a big impact on our ability to conduct this kind of long diplomacy. Because ultimately, many, many years from now as historians look back on this time, much of what we consider to be important will not be seen as important. In fact, much of what occupies our every day will fall away and become the chaff and dust of history. But i think what will be remembered and what will be judged by historians is our ability to accommodate these rising powers to transform
With that, i yield to the chairman emeritus of the full committee. Thank you. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to make the Affordable Care act work. I remind my colleagues the last perfect law came off of the top of mount sinai with moses, written on a stone tablet. Nothing so good has happened since. I urge us to use our best efforts to see that this law goes into effect and works and that we carry out our responsibility to the American People. To see to it that we do everything we can to defend the laws of the u. S. I have heard some unfortunate things on the other side. They said we have to do everything in our power to prevent obamacare. Obamacare, get rid of it. Our friends on the other side have forgotten that. I hope they will continue to forget it. We have a chance to see to it that the American People get health care as a matter of right, not financial privilege. I am very frustrated, at least as frustrated as anyone else in this room, about the problems facing healthcar
