10:06 pm
that the right thing to do? >> it is an interesting idea. a compassion fund. i'm assuming that it would be funded by private donors, not the government. i think it would be all private donations. whether privatecitizens want to donate money toa general compassion fund in their own community following the tragedy like newtown or boston, it remains to be seen. i'm a little dubious. sounds like a good iea. as apractical matter in terms of funding, i don't know. >> i think idea is to make it specific to the events of the people know what they are getting to >> you're absolutely right. that's what happened in boson. as soon as the bombings occurred, the mayor of boston and the governor of the

were there. gerri: so they tried to corral people? they tried to shut them down we are discussing how we are going to distribute everything, we have a draft protocol and the individuals went to walk everyone through it and then we will take comments. for the record, we fee it would be inappropriate for anyone to comment on or ask questions about anything other than this topic. how we got here, whether it's the right amount of money, it is out of our purview. there is a sort of collective moment of, are you kidding me? that is what we were talking about and those are the questions that need to be asked. gerri: i think this is the money question. they were originally the people
