the concern being that until you actually change the constitution, until you disband the ndp, until you have a bar's signed a to london and stay there, everything will go back to the way it was. until you actually change the constitution, until you disbanded the mdp, until you have mubarak's son go to london and stay there, everything will go back to the way it was. they are very much afraid that the game plan was to wait this thing out, just to stand pat, do not get too excited. do not show weakness. do not confront the crowd. stand by your guns and it will disappear. these people will get tired. they will get hungry. if he thinks that, he ought to take a look at what has bullet -- what hezbollah did in lebanon and the camping out they had for -- how many months was that? the egyptian protesters have the ability to sustain this operation so long as they have the army in a position where it is not going to go in with tanks. mubarak is wrong if he thinks this is just going to go away and he will step in and restore his position. in reality, the future will be defined by the military more

his party, the ndp has been eviscerated. the dine tse has been broken, what more do you want. but they were absolutely clear that every concession was essentially meaningless as long as mubarak he mained there. one guy said to me, look, we may have demands from one to 20, number one being mubarak's removal and then all the rest. they can give us all the rest, but it's still meaningless if he's there. and the big problem about this whole theatre, this whole weird choreography, that the regime came up with was that so long as either mubarak or suleiman who had been his henchman and deputy for a long time were there, and some people might say okay, mubarak's gone but the army is in charge, that's hardly democracy. and of course it remains to be seen how the army will use the power it now has. but what we've seen in the last 18 days here, i think, in egypt has been a very professional and restrained army. this 1.3 billion dollars a year that the u.s. has been investing in the army, i think, well, we'll see now over the coming period how the army acts. but i've been very impressed.

the ndp is history. new forces will have to come out to take its place. he controls the ndp and its infrastructure. he brings people out in elections to by the vote. the vote cost 50 pounds in egypt. that is $8.60 per pound per vote. he does not have absolute control over the military. that is a key change. the military may or may not obey his orders. they have made it very clear that they are not going to confront the crowd. they are not going to shoot the egyptians. this is the traditional position of the egyptian military. its primary interest is state. it is loyal to the state, not to an individual. it is also to the army. it is very clear that any kind of taking on a crowd and shooting people in the streets will be destructive, maybe even the conclusion of the army's place in society. the army has an important place in society. it is highly respected. it has a long history of doing things that the egyptian people support. it does not have a history of suppressing egyptians. that was always taken by the black-coated groups. mubarak is still being chal

in 2012 we requested $1.8 billion for earth science to support the launch of ndp. we took reductions in earth science affecting the speed with which we put the next generation of missions in space. i would like to make a note you will see that these are not flat for delegation the areas where we have life cycle missions costs that we have committed to we have allowed and planned for them in the budget under a top line for science that is flat. in other programs we see that it is flat because we have not made a life cycle commitment that we need to make sure to plan for. next slide. i am not going to read all of these slides. you can find them on the web at nasa.gov. they do contain some details. hopefully this will contain more details. planetary science, we have requested $1 billion, on the video we're launching the science laboratory in fall. it aligns the portfolio with those results. next slide. astrophysics, those of you familiar with numbers, these will look small. the reason is in the wake of the report, james webb telescope report, that project will be repo

the concern being that until you actually change the constitution, until you disband the ndp, until you have a bar's signed a to london and stay there, everything will go back to the way it was. to the way it was. they are very much afraid they are very much afraid that the game plan was to wait this thing out, just to stand pat, do not get too excited. do not show weakness. do not confront the crowd. stand by your guns and it will disappear. these people will get tired. they will get hungry. if he thinks that, he ought to take a look at what has bullet -- what hezbollah did in lebanon and the camping out they had for -- how many months was that? the egyptian protesters have the ability to sustain this operation so long as they have the army in a position where it is not going to go in with tanks. mubarak is wrong if he thinks this is just going to go away and he will step in and restore his position. in reality, the future will be defined by the military more than by anybody. it is not a dictatorial kind of group. it is a traditional military leadership. they have a strong sentiments o

and yet the people are looking to the military to preserve it from the ndp, the president, and the interior ministry. whereas the government and mubarak is looking to the military to safeguard its continued rule. so it is the only truly credible institution that exists. it has the faith of the people for the moment, and this is a deep concern in my view to president mubarak, it to thendp, and may have relevance to what is happening in the streets of cairo today. i think they're real risk here -- there are a number of challenges for the military in any transition. one is in coherence at the top. how long, how persistence does the leadership maintain of unified view of what is happening and what it should do? that is one question. the second is, what happens along with the military is out in the streets with the people? if the coherence is maintained at the top, and orders that are given from the top be carried out at the local tactical level? will the military fire on the people if ordered to cross a marked the military has said in statement after statement that it will not. that has to be o

the ndp has done extensive animal testing on chromium-6 in drinking water and found that it causes cancer in laboratory animals following exposure in drinking water. they have also funding university research studying chromium-6. scientists at duke university are looking at chromium-6 toxicity and expression of genes that may ultimately lead to cancer. a research group at brown university funded by our superfund research program is studying how exposure to chromium-6 modifies dna and human cell. this research gives information about though some biological response and why one person is affected when another person is not. other researchers in the group at brown are developing new methods for moving chromium-6 from water supplies. perchlorate under the chemical of concern is found naturally in our climates but it is also manufactured in the u.s. for the nation's and fireworks. we are concerned about perchlorate because they can affect thyroid function by inhibiting the transport of iodine into the thyroid glands. iodide uptake is necessary for the normal production of thyroid hormones whic
