alan ealler, executiv director of aipac.s is quite a change from your days and the central bank. to see a you get lot of asia-pacific. what is your impression? >> gloomy look around the region, we are still really waiting to get over the global financial crisis and find out what the new normal is. hopefully 2014 will see as getting there. developed're seeing economies of the specific rim -- pacific rim starting to get back to growth. for the emerging markets, it is a story about demand and trade growing. it is domestic demand driven. in many cases, the economies are looking at how they use consumption, how domestic demand changes things. it is still very globalized. i do not think export driven trade will be quite the driver it has been in the past. >> the dynamic is changing. >> yes. of course, one thing hanging over all of this is interest- rate and how interest rates back to normal. it can lead behaviors that are hard to write. >> how much of an impact do you howk this fed tapering, dramatic will that be for southeast asi

this year's budget reposes aipac $.94 so we canl discourage more americans from smoking, saving moreives and resources. this is a two-for. the additional revenues will give us universal childhood education to children across the country while strengthening health initiatives for infants and toddlers. we will save more lives by reducing tobacco use. benefit the next generation by making the best single investment we can in their future. ultimately, these actions will be most effective if they are paired with local efforts across our country. havethe past 50 years, we been able to transform smoking from an accepted national pastime to an acknowledged health hazard. we have succeeded in driving smoking out of airplanes and out of a growing number of restaurants, bars, college campuses, and other workspaces. with the lives of 5.6 million children in the balance it is time to take these efforts to the next level. that ant obama believes tobacco free generation is well within our grasp. lesniak believes it is in our grasp and i believe that as well. the federal government cannot do this al
