i think it's out of place as well look at it look at me look at me to look at haiti ok for a shake haiti is a good example well it turned into an industry sure you have n.g.o.s competing with how do you know there are injuries try to provide humanitarian relief. you have some competition between them for them to maintain themselves and even grow and i mean it's in that general sense you might see it as kind of an analogy might be to the corporate world but i think david's absolutely right you don't go into n.-g. o. work to get rich and you typically most people would go into it with some very moral or political goals in mind and so that's that's a distinction but yeah good place to look at how you're going to get organizations competing with one another for. growth for maintaining themselves in any kind of context and that's what's happened in places like haiti with competition over

a shape haiti is a good example well it turned into an industry sure you have n.g.o.s competing with how do you know there are injuries try to provide humanitarian relief you have some competition between them for them to maintain themselves and even grow and i mean it's in that general sense you might see it as kind of an analogy might be to the corporate world but i think david separately right you don't go into n.-g. o. work to get rich and you typically most people would go into it with some very moral or political goals in mind and so that's that's a distinction but. weber's a good place to look at how you're going to get organizations competing with one another for. growth for maintaining themselves in any kind of context and that's what's happened in places like haiti with competition over relief there or so you know. in everyone's. head david jump in go ahead i know everyone is very i know i see you mention haiti and i know i've this is about the third interview where someone has talked about haiti as if it is a great defeat for the n.g.o.s some group proof that the n.g.o.s a

is about the third interview where someone has talked about haiti as if haiti is a great defeat for the n.g.o.s some good proof that the n.g.o.s are essentially corrupt or just in it for business advantage or market share advantage i know haiti pretty well and haiti is the devilishly difficult problem and question and in the end to blame the n.g.o.s you know you're in fact it's governments including the haitian government itself that should bear the lion's share the blame again seems to be a kind of posturing the n.g.o.s it's true make certain claims for themselves that it's fairly easy to debunk but that doesn't make them the general electric corporation or an arm of the cia or or whatever i mean i think what has to be very careful with with these. sorts of claims there is competition over market share but again let's not if you want to widen the frame and talk about not just n.g.o.s in the sense of development or human rights or environmental or relief n.g.o.s but in terms of say the nonprofit sector in places where private hospitals predominate they compete with each other for ma

my parents immigrated from haiti.\ -- haiti. they had $10 in their pocket. many jobs torked try to makee ends meet. when things got tough, they tightened their belts and work even harder. the first day of college, i took my dad with me. he tends to be the fun parent. i took it with me and he was really guideiddy. not sure if it was because i was a last child he was taking to college or if he thought, might my goodness, all my children, first generation graduates. he was incredibly incited and walked around as if he's going to school himself. at one point he looked at me and said, your mother and i did everything we could to get you here today. we have never taken a handout. you will not be a burden to society. you will give back. i wasaught me growing ouup not entitled to anything that i did not earn, work for, or pay for myself.

haiti. as you know, a few years ago the haitian people suffered an earthquake and the initial problem was crush injuries. yes, infection and dysentery and water supply and all those things would follow fairly soon, but the initial catastrophe was crush injuries, trauma, and the hospitals were gone. so what did we do? the world responded as best it could. what we did, the naval maritime forces, we sent our balts group down there which was patroling the area, we sent the hospital ship comfort down. so you have the comfort on the east coast, you have the mercy on the west coast. the mercy is parked down in san diego. it just got back from its asian humanitarian assistance from guam, indonesia, vietnam, an amazing number of nations we're partnering with. those hospital ships with 1,000 beds, 12 operating rooms, they produce their own medical oxygen, they have ct scanners and they can do almost anything a hospital on the west coast can do and we can park them offshore as we did in haiti and in ha

it did go to haiti before the earthquake. >> haiti was a tough place before the earthquake. >> neil: a lot of that money didn't get spent. a lot of it did get spent to restore things back to that situation. so there you are making up for huge setback. >> neil: let's say it got more heated from there. you will see for yourself. nod nasty heat but interes interesting. i take no issue with his sin sarty. he beliefs what he says and acts on what he believes. his whole $70 billion charitable foundation that he and wis wife started proved his point and mine as well. he wanted to attack serious problems head on. poverty, you name it. i assume the existing government structure had not and could not. keep in mind, bill gates long advocated the wealthy pay more in taxes to help the government like his friend warren buf

in cold war europe, haiti, the balkans, and above all, iraq and afghanistan, as well as various other places in the middle east, i am very grateful for the opportunity to say a few words this evening. but before continuing i should note that a southern california native briefed me before coming out here on the usc-ucla rivalry. i used to do intelligence. this is asthat emotional relationship as that between army and navy its football season. theact, discussion of u.s.a.-ucla rival reminds me of a story i heard this afternoon. apparently there was very nearly trouble at a party downtown attended by some usd students a few weeks ago. the way i heard it, one of the leaned over

>> [inaudible] my experience with the haiti response. in this casey i was working at the deputy principal committee level and working at the white house. but it was really the first opportunity for this administration to work with a very complex response, and then recognizing for us the supported commander was usaid that normally isn't in the emergency response business. so, it was an educational process of how to move forces and yet support usaid and the role of the country team and port au prince. so, it was very informative there. and to back up when we had the first no fooling hurricane that worked its way up the entire gulf coast, the principal committee calls that were generated during the haiti response were then turned around and then bringing all of the governors into a conference call with the president to make sure that all their needs were being met in the advance of a hurricane arrival. so, we really had all of government, from local all the way up to the white house, fully included in that response. but the haiti response w

before the earthquake. >> i did. >> haiti, was a very tough place before the earthquake. >> absolutely. >> and a lot of that money did not get spent, a got did get spend to restore things back to the situation. you know there you are just making up for a huge setback, in terms of health, whereas you get families to be more healthy they choose to have less children, and population growth goes down, there the numbers could not be clearer, my money that goes into aids in same pot as u.s. money, it is a fairly small percentage. the money from foundation that goes after vaccines in partnership with u.s. government, it is under the bush administration that global health peace went from a tiny part of the aid budget to over half now, aids, and neglected diseases that half which is part we work in have expertise on, that part i'll vouch for, because we're in there, looking at the numbers all of the time. >> i think very smart folks, if they want to give money, to any charitable afford would right away give it to you, and right away through your foundation, because, to put this crassly, you get

my question is from my organization has seen with haiti. with the earthquake there was a destruction of documents. how do you work with providing documentation that they can resettle or integrate, how is that process facilitated so there is documentation so they can get the documentation they need to be able to do what they need to do? the head of my office would be happy to answer that question because this is his pet projects. but we do have a project in haiti and the doe minutic republic. it is one of the countries in the caribbean affected by statelessness. many of them don't have documentation. we have a project inside haiti where we work with the community and do a huge outreach drive and get people to come forward and register and it provides them with documents. so that is -- i would be happy to talk about it with you more. but that is something we're working on inside haiti and the dominican republic. >> i might add to that, that having documentation is not a requirement to be registered as a refugee. globally, it is protected that
