from nineteen fifty three to nineteen sixty four no chronic diseases really kept it in him during histenure not the only solution leader removed from power for what was officially described as health reasons died at the age of seventy seven seven years after his resignation. according to his contemporaries crucial was healthier than any other civic leader unlike britain if he didn't care much for ready made scripts of his speeches and instead often improvised a doctor did accompany him during his international visits but only to be on the safe side the job was to keep crucial for medical assistance of a special kind the fact is that he was the calmest of politicians the only other person. in the medical profession and. thirty young lady a third wrote specialist but that had nothing to do with the permanent state of his health it was simply too much and too loudly so it affected his roco cords so she had to do with as your influence a stray son some stuff inside his throat. during his last year at the helm of the soviet union seventy year old crucial spend more than one hundred thirty

fifty four point five per gallon. you know fuel economy standards for twenty twenty five we're looking to double fuel economy standards by that americans are already saying well i'm out right and in fact our demand for oil right now is lower than it's been absolutely about a decade or so certainly and when you hear people say that we should be cutting the subsidies you know drilling is the highest it's been in eight years our demand it's the lowest gas prices are still looking at record highs so why. our demand is still high and you know america has two percent of the world's oil reserves and we use twenty percent of the oil you know. what do we expect these oil companies to go find it we've only got two percent of the reserves that they can go get for so it's time for us to move the alternatives that's the only way we can save american families money what's the argument that the oil industry is making for why they need subsidies and why is that a bogus argument if you think that is why i think you know if we drilled
