programs work and by the way i am a huge proponent, i signed a very first fogle agreement with david hensonas by the way was having the thing among my colleagues at alpha at the time but i think we found is proven to be in incredible source of gathering data coming trends and spawning things but by mandating in by legislating it we need to be careful that we maintain that immunity because my concern is a lot of people will put their hand up anymore. i think the idea of a spot check on the voice recorder has even been recommended i heard it first from an alpha group. why couldn't we do a spot check like we do this to make sure that we have a sterile cockpit and occasionally. but my concern is the same thing. again we want assurances that this is not discoverable data so well the paragraph cutter i several, i but when we look at that we need to make certain that anybody all the interested parties on unduly exposed or we don't do unintended consequences but damaging another program and so we will work as closely as we canñr with congress and of course, with representatives from out what two ma

first of all, i want to thank david henson. personnel is policy. when you see someone like him selected to lead an effort like this, it shows a level of seriousness that we have to make sure that we actually begin to meet some of the goals we have long had as a country to grow equal opportunity for both federal contract and all our federal activities. i want to take a moment and give david hansen a round of applause. he is doing an incredible job. [applause] we are lucky to have him. i also want to thank ed deseve. he is our general. when it comes to meeting our goals in the recovery package. he is a modest man. i want to point out a couple of things -- let's not forget that when the president signed the recovery package in mid- february, people were still talking about the great danger, not of the great recession of the great depression. let's not forget that when the president was sworn in in january, all the economists, right left and otherwise, were fearful that we were headed into a deflationary respire of from which no one could figure out ho
