mr. allen, trade surplus that's a pretty good surplus how much of it is trad iitionally is military equipment or planes. is that typical year to year or is that just a bump lately. >> thank you ranking member. the trait surplus and trade works are quite volatile. last year we delivered several aircraft and that screwed the numbers. we have a number of other aircraft -- large aircraft deals in the pipe line. thus, i would consider a rising trend in u.s. exports to brunei in the foreseeable future. aircraft, oil equipment, consumer goods, food, and a good number of other commodities as well. >> the oil economy is certainly shrinking from what it was. how much longer are they looking to revive it for as long as they can. they are certainly looking to diversify. that will be a lot of your role and certainly why they have so much interest in the tpp and we appreciate their leadership and help there. i hope it's something that congress can give the president the tools to actually give affect to. in t
