i answer that i just want to say what a pleasure it is for me to be here with madeline and sandy berger and peter galbraith and especially with president clinton, because when i think back on those years there really was unified leadership in the united states government. there was a man in charge who had vision. he had courage and really took us to where we needed to go. the military wasn't really part of that vision and i mean, colin powell explained it when he was the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and his attitude came down to this. he says i tell them, i go to the meetings and i would say tell us what -- tell us what you want us to do and i will tell you what it takes. but i'm not going to help you do the policy. so the military was in sort of a reactive mode in this. i got there in the spring of 1994 and every weekend there was a crisis. it was one challenge, it was north korea, it was haiti, it was to shoot down aircraft in bosnia. i had no idea because from the outside you couldn't see any of this and inside inside the military institution we were still recovering from th

. >> christopher berger, exercise science here at george washington. i have kind of a two-part question. in the past -- i think we all agree that whole foods are probably the best way to get a balanced diet. in the past the guidelines have often recommended foods like liver and kale and foods that are probably not going to hit with the american public at large any time soon. my question is do the guidelines address supplementation in any way whatsoever? and i ask that question being from exercise science because the portion of the population who's interested in improving their performance, it's not a small part of the population. people who want to gain lean body mass, it's not a small portion of the population. i'm interested in how the guidelines address that population to a certain extent and maybe to the extent that it involves supplementation. are we addressing that at all? thank you. >> well, if you look at the report, there are sections on food groups to reduce, and also foods groups and minerals to increase. and if you look at the latter chapte
