they have been nothing but proactive. i was incredibly impressed when i met joe and i spoke with them about what they were trying to do to get theirlicense back, be able to have this permit. they not only make sure that they are doing policing of the patrons themselves, but we have actually come to be so concerned about them getting this back that we self-police while we're back there. weear anybody swearing loudly or doing anything inappropriate we will tell them as patrons not to do those kind of things because we even have that much respect for what they're trying to do because they care that much about their community and being respectful to the people around them. like i said, i've been nothing but impressed. as far as anybody going outside and urinating or breaking bottles, i have never, ever once witnessed anything of such nare. nothing leaves the building. there is no glass that walks out front. like i said, they've done nothing but try to be as proactive and polite as their community as possible. thank you. >> th

rather than let's say as a fire inspector who helps and proactive. i want to point out items that i'm concerned about. one is how much can the epa be proactive in working with people to help them get to where they need to be. instead of saying what they must do. when we get down to it, we may be talking about nuclear reactors taking aquatic life, but how many times do we look at gas cool reactors that eliminate those issues? these kind of proactive approaches, things like that looking at why don't we open up more lands for rare earth extraction. i yield back. mr. chairman. >> thank you. i think that concludes today's opening statements, so, i will recognize myself for five minutes for the purpose of asking questions. i'm so anxious to ask questions, i guess i should let you testify first. i would like to recognize you for five minutes for an opening statement. >> thank you mr. chairman and thank you for inviting me to df to budget for the epa, i'm joined by the agency's chief financial office barbara bennett. we focused on fulfilling the core mission

he has been very proactive and good talking about developing a regional transit authority in southeastern michigan that we're now asking state legislation to move forward on that. because detroit and metro detroit has been lacking in that for decades. so there's an opportunity to partner on that. what i would also say is, again, i would make the approach that there are better ways to do things than we currently do things with the prescriptive measures that you can find in some of the highway bills, though. compared to giving us more flexibility. we still have multiple situations where we may be making a great investment in a rest stop that we don't really need as opposed to a bridge. and the ability to have flexibility in making those decisions would be helpful to

the diplomatic efforts you know are you know put into two segments a the segment who wants to be proactive who wants to find a solution to the segment who is interested only in regime change now what we have called for from the very beginning is that you know the regime or the syrian government is strong by the way president assad still commands a comfortable majority in syria according to a recent opinion poll by a conducted by hugo fifty five percent of syria said they did not want him to go now faced with that fact you cannot force the whole country like syria to change its president so the only you know constructive way is used to be proactive about this we have factions and let's see how we can mediate a let's see how we can guarantee that no more bloodshed all little block is going to be allowed so i think the russian approach is the basically the right one because you know raising the finger or rick sharing syrians on how to conduct their business and how to go about running their business is not going to help at all it is only when you mediate i've heard. opposition figures key syr
