Ambassador king, can you tell us what is being done at this time to hold north korea accountable for the mass atrocities described in that report . I mean it was a horrific thing to read.

They are what they are and we have to do the best we can with the new technologies over the years. To the extent we built open air modulars, architectures and the like, this is a way we can plug in different types of capability, different types of technology as
