Thresholds based on its ongoing assessment of the costs and benefits. May i ask about your interpretation of the phrase there are a lot of different interpretations that have gone on. Here is some choices. I want to ask you to pick what you are arguing for. Your original position was that any pollutant meant that was your original position. Judge kavanaughs position is it means any max pollutant. Any naaqs pollutant. Theres another position that says it is really any regulated pollutant other than Greenhouse Gases. Those are four different interpretations. I guess i am asking you which one you are arguing for. I am here on behalf of the private party petitioners. We have two arguments. The principal one of is the one i would like to focus on. And that is because and that is where i would choose an option the pst program is focused on omissions that have specific impacts. And not globally undifferentiated phenomena. I take it that the sort of ozone pollutants are not area specific. Woul
Fulfilling the Human Capital needs, the language requirements and other critical element to make sure that our embassies abroad, which are particularly high threat, highrisk positions, have the staff necessary to be able to meet those challenges. Isnt that something that youre committed to as we move forward . I certainly am, and weve taken those recommendations to heart, integrated 150 new security positions. We have created Language Proficiency programs for security personnel, particular in arabic. We are looking at using all of our hiring authorities, for qualified personnel that are retired or family members or other experts that can immediately begin contributing to this. Its our highest priority and one my top goals of course is ensuring that we have staff necessary for the 720 positions in the areas which include iraq, afghanistan, pakistan, yemen and libya.
