we allocated more fund, we provided during a few weeks after that funding for nsf and others to openp their facilities in eastern dlc. >> i was told it's quite difficult to have under control and that's not the case. >> the numbers that who will be using as an indicator for this problem, including through september, it was maybe 20,000 cases. now, as you know, '15-'16, september, published results of their own in much, much larger numbers, by which time it was, because w.h.o. had declared the emergency in mid august. it was clear what had been done up to then had been declared insufficient. >> it was quite clier that we others acted earlier. it would have been cheaper and easier to solve the problem. one of the big take aways is how are we going to ensure maybe not just relying on w.h.o. it's a great degree of ability and confidence. >> can i just ask either of you to comment on this issue? about whether was it too little or too late? >> i think from our -- i would agree the nsf had been the real heroes in terms of their people on the ground, the scale of their response as well as ca

i was wondering if you had any thoughts on why there was such discrepancy between the nsf response and calling this outbreak unpress deposited in march and the whots response waiting until august to declare it an international health e members of the ju emergency. any thoughts about why they saw this happen? thank you. >> a tough question because i have always been knowing it and still am a straight shooter. i think if you look at w.h.o. , w.h.o. has suffered from chronic under funding. and one would have hoped that they would have recognized very early on that this was something that really was go to go explode. they didn't have the manpower. they have had budgetary constraints, have substantial cuts in their experienced personnel. so what msf, which is a fantastic organization, they are there. they are on the ground. they see it as it -- as it is happening and as its unfolding, and they called it correctly very early on. i believe if the who had had the strength of -- that they should have had at the time, that they probably would have been much more intensively involved in there on

nsf in the last couple of weeks released the smart city's challenge where they are looking at cities to participate with nsf, to look at this entire kind of environmental look at instrumentation and sensors within a city. so that we don't run across if we are doing point infrastructure deployments spectrum management issues, for example. or data collision issues. not only that, but as mark mentioned what are the sensors that are currently deployed that are potentially doing other things for other use cases that could be repurposed into new knowledge sets and bases? so the look around the corner sensors could potentially also be traffic congestion sensors that could tell you when traffic is lightest. and that goes back into the smart city design saying when do i bring in my big trucks to resupply? i could have data to see when that affects it the most. and make decisions under resources, energy, goods and services to the greatest effect and efficiencies that are possible. this needs to be looked at in a large mechanism to avoid potential conflicts and leverage existing systems. >> i m

in terms of drugs, we think the show a lot of promise and a lot of interest in nsf we are concerned overto use of these drugs. potentially be used of biological samples from affected population in order to develop these products. potentially a concern that has arisen for us internally. we want to ensure that these materials are being used from affected countries at various concerned about access are triggered in terms of managing the supply. we want to ensure there's affordability to products and they're available again insufficient supply for the affected countries. just perhaps to end on some remarks, and just to note also that antibodies, the u.s. has expanded the orphan tax credit to the development of these antibodies which pay for 50% of clinical trial costs that doesn't safeguard any of the access issues which were concerned upon. so demanding that they be affordable, they be available in sufficient supply. that's also the concern we have with the voucher. with all of the funding being provided it seems like none of that is being tied to ensuring access which matters to our organi

confusedde and community, ron helprin in particularly nsf at the jewish council, all of his staff andynagogues, schools, and other jewish, christian, and nationwide,nities thank you and god bless you. it was crucial to my survival knowing that i was not forgotten. your prayers and your actions have been comforting, maria reassuring, and sustaining full stop and to my extended family, especially my sister bonnie, my cousins, friends, group, bruce, our shabbat , so many others who exemplify the true meaning of friendship, thank you. . i do understand there are many others who actively participated in securing my freedom, of whom at thisominally aware juncture. i promise i will express a more direct and personal gratitude just as soon as i know who you are, but ultimately, ultimately the decision to arrange for and secure my release was made in the oval office. to president obama and the nsc staff, thank you. in my last letter to president obama, i wrote that despite my five-year tenure in captivity, i would not want to trade places with them, and i certainly would not want to trade plac

the house committee on science today heard testimony that under an nsf contract the nonprofit observatory network spent money on $25,000 christmas party on a $10,000 or excuse me $1,000 a month premium coffee service. $150 million on questionable construction costs and $112,000 for lobbying. democrats on the house science committee objected to hearing complaining that no representatives from the health science foundation were there to defend themselves is. they maintain the audits of the inspector general and defense contract agency were flawed. premature and incomplete. republicans pushed back saying democrats were attacking the messenger in a statement to fox news. knee on's board chairman james collins said, quote. knee on incorporated has always spent all funding in strict compliance with understanding both of the guidelines provided to the organization and a the law. knee on's contract offering 62 on or observatories on continent. land use and invasive species studying it all while drinking expensive coffee. >> if everything is flawed they didn't get the chance to bring them, in let'

nsf, who are the leaders in this space, were saying you need to bring in institutions. including military and state institutions. by definition, none had ever run a ebola facility before. it's extremely dangerous. we had a series of conversations with a range of potential organizations. the first organization who we thought had some able ility to this kind of thing, who were willing to take on the risk and do it at you know, safely, but up to speed to save the children, we pay tribute to them for being willing to do that. actually, the scale is on track as he said. nobody should be surprised if you've never done this before. if you face lots of problems, so, it's not our view that this has been something that is being badly handled. there have been lots of problems to fick. we would loved to have done it faster, but overall, as the figure four on my chart shows to you, in part of contribution to the fantastic -- a bit ahead of where we planned it to be on the modeling. >> how long was it when you said save the children, we're very grateful and we are as well, the first
