congressman, first of all, i think it's important to note in all for interactions with our egyptian counterparts that the egyptian government and gerryhares the concern over the emergence of the challenges in the sinai that some extremists have flocked there and it's been used as a transit point for weaponry and so forth. and indeed our sense is the truly do take this very seriously and we can talk a bit more about that perhaps in the closed session. with respect to the multinational force and observers of the slide is my old area when i was a central commander. unless there is any change there is just one u.s. battalion and it's in the southern part of the sinai which is actually further away from this area that we are talking about and there's another battalion from another international country that is in the north. again i would refer to the department of defense on the rules of engagement of a lie can't imagine why they would need to be changed to them. they get every opportunity for self protection, force protection and so again i would be surprised if there has been any change. >> thank you, mr. share. >> thank you, mr. chairm
