the lead nation was germany. germany was the godfather. however, germany wanted to build the police. just as there were being built by another country therefore it is different country. at that time the police could arrest violators. that's why the police building of the force did not go very well. 2009 we saw that there was more interested in investment. that actually helped. that actually started to draw serious attention. who says the what you have today has many, many problems facing the police. the major question is what is going to be? it is going to become a problem of law enforcement to protect the population or a security force to protect the state? unfortunately with the upsurge of violence in 2006 there was a rush. that continued today. there was not the kind of force that would resolve the best forms of fighting insurgency. protect the population. by itself it becomes an asset. when i was looking at the challenges facing today in afghanistan i counted to ten and stopped. the first one was the number. they say 850, 700,000. it w

the following sense that the nationalist of their nation as a nation among nations, each of which have a stake in the destiny. it was sometimes put in the metaphor of a choir. the course of humanity only works if everybody sings her life. if we don't contribute our part, we can't make the great harmony that is a human harmony. so far from 19 of our nation necessarily against other nations, it is esteemed and special. it may even be from my point of view better. but it is not necessarily opposed to other nations. indeed as i say companies developing nations to make history work. they make the point that this form of nationalism is central. he makes the point in the early 20th century and he is against it. he thinks that this is a problem. he's part of the 20th century form of german nationalism, which is not so keen. the 20th century german and could be any type. you have to understand the philosophical, social contacts is one in which it could be an old. it was the natural way of thinking. but he was combined with a growing sense. i am not defending this view. my view is the understand

other nations are jockeying for position in global affairs. many of them as we have discussed here, are making their own aggressive moves to build their own science and technology capables, and then, of course, meanwhile here at home, we are dealing with constrained resources, dealings with the effect of sequestration jessica, -- sequestration but when i step back and look at what we have done over many decades in the country i would observe we have had a long and very successful commitment to investing investing in r & d as nation and when we make that investment, we are investing in two things that are deeply american. one is the kind of creativity that is sparked by the open society that is a hallmark of this country, and in this case, it's the creativity of our scientists and engineers that we're investing in. the second is this drive to create a better future, and in many ways, in a sense this is the most product kind of restlessness you can imagine. two very american things. so, i'll just say along with my colleagues i very much apprecia

challenges we face as a nation. economicd america's prosperity will depend on cyber security. the director of national intelligence has also warned of the increasing globalization of cyberattacks, including those carried out by foreign militaries or organized international crime. as has been mentioned already, we saw the department of justice indict members of a foreign military involved in economic espionage cyber crime read -- cyber crime. it appears that the doj has been working on this indictment for more than a year. doj'sutors in the national security division had to show there was strong specific evidence. there had to be countries that were willing to go come -- public against china. the array of threats facing the nation possess threats to national security commerce and individuals. threats include targeted and on targeted attacks. these sources include business competitors, criminal groups, hackers, and foreign nations. sources of cyber security threats make use of various techniques to compromise informat

and concerted action at the united nations. we will work over the coming weeks to implement these commitments. including to increase humanitarian assistance and we will work together, we will intensify how closely we work together, given the deepening crisis in syria. because we are all determined to respond to it. so that is what we have been doing this morning. and secretary kerry i know is coming down to speak to you shortly. and there's time for a few questions. >> thank you, foreign secretary. it's pretty grim time in syria as you said. the crisis there is deepening. peace talks haven't worked. president assad has regained territory. he's holding elections. the opposition, different groups are fighting each other. they seem weakened. gone are the days when you can say not just assad, moscow, but he will go. is it time to reassess your strategy based on the likely survival of his regime? and if i might a second question on ukraine. can you be a bit more clear about what it is russia has to do or not do in order to avoid dee

does it protect our national security? less so. i don't think anyone can analyze this bill and conclude otherwise that we are less secure if this becomes law because we lose 3-1/2 years of access to data that in many cases qurnl exists. and so i would again urge adoption of my amendment. it is one that i believe is well thought out, careful, not a mandate, protects our national security, our civil liberties. that's in keeping with the theme here even though i seem to be the only one bringing up the national security side of here and my state was not attacked by terrorists i'm thankful for that. i don't want to see that happen again. and i think we have to be considering the national security side of this. there is no downside, it's all upsate and the upside is in national security without diminishing the civil liberties protection. so with that i yield back. >> the chair thanks the gentleman. >> to strike the last word. >> the gentleman is recognized. >> i i disagree with the gentleman from iowa. there is no upside to this amendmen

next closest nation in the world. it's not a matter of putting resources. it's a matter of using them the right way. give everybody a health savings account the day they are born, and keep it until the day they die. and you have control over that. you sprain your ankle, you need an extra, go to your s. -- agency. birth control pills? hsa. no hobby lobby issues. very few things are coming out of your catastrophic or breach insurance. the costs of that would plummet. you make it cumulative. in other words, if you don't use it, you don't lose that he keeps a team-leading. if you have a from the time of birth and it's a team-leading each year, the vast majority of people ar aren't using substantl amounts of it well into adulthood, they are acting relating enormous amounts of money. the other kicker is you allow people to shift money within a health savings account within the family. so say the fathers $500 sure, the mother can give $500 out of first, or the sun or the grandmother or anybody in the family. every family bec
