this money is funded under fta and so we are now, working with both fta and fra on this project. and the next thing that we did was to look at the budgets because the last time that we did the budget was 2008. and that time, the board approved a 2.6 billion budget for the utx. and which is a student, a design, a full design, bidding process, and then building. this is still the bay line and so what we, we revised not assuming that they actually stopped the construction next year which is obviously not going to happen and so we do advice, the budget and if we can stay with the design bid and, that budget is adjusted to three billion dollars. and just quickly, and we actually changed the escalation from three to four percent, it is a slight reduction, and i will come to that in the next slide. and the train operations to start from 2020 to 2024. and right? >> and we would love to get it ready by 2020 because cal train is going to be electrified by 2019 and we can have no delay but it is funding dependant. and we added a couple of items in the 25 million, and part of the configurati

the fta could re-examine their 1986 grasdetermination. generally regarded as safe.one of the reason we're in this mess is because sugar is generally regarded as safe. this is something determined in 1958 with no data. the results were inconclusive in 1986 that a mean dosage of 50 grams per day. our current dosage is 80 grams per day. we did not do it at that dose. and the issue with -- is intended use. no one intended for sugar consumption to be this high. the sugar industry took that information and so the government gave them a clean bill of health when it was only inconclusive. there are lots of problems with this document. it was based on a 1978 survey at 53 grams, no data on excessive consumption. no data on high fructose corn syrup back then. and fruit juice was considered fruit, not sugar, which it is. so who knows what the real story is? that this is what the 1986 document said, and the person who wrote that document is now a consultant to the corn refiners association. and there is no dietary reference intake for sugar. there is the nutrition facts label. t

about two years before the last days of the caribbean fta talks according to the peterson institute numbers the most undervalued currency in the world, significantly more undervalued and the chinese. as they were negotiating, this is what countries do, of course, they reduced to that from a 50% under evaluation to five. now they are under heavy pressure from the export industries, very powerful in korea, under pressure to increase the under evaluation, the same dynamic in japan. when the yen hit 79 to the dollar there is a great outcry from the export oriented industries in japan. in response to that by one means or another the government has moved when the rate to about 101. that is to benefit the export industry and it kills our exports. that dynamic is left unaddressed by any trade agreement and i think she is correct. i check on the hill all the time the treasury and the u.s. tiara have refused to raise this issue , which is supposed to set the basic rules for trade agreements for the rest of the century. so not to do it now is really to commit not to do it for a long time. if there is
