we have some reduce funding.

we have some reduce funding. supervisor campos has been working on funds that could find to enable us to reduce or eliminate fair for youth. state funding for yellow school buses have been declining and is projected to continue to decline. this happens at a time when discount passes went from $10 to $20 during just the course of a few years, so putting those together has created this drives, but it does have some potential impact that may be offset by regional funds. >> the proposal, what you think the chances are of it actually going away after two years? >> if it is rhetorical, does that mean i do not have to answer it? if we were to make muni very cheap or free for the whole population, for us to jump it stack up from zero or five, it would be 25 iva-- i think it wod be very difficult. the conversation we were having with supervisor campos and grass-roots advocate sen is to advocate for and seek sustainable funding that would enable us to continue, so the two-year pilot helps us to evaluate whether the program

we'll reduce and streamline the air force's airlift fleet. in addition, the air force will eliminate seven tactical air squadrons, but we will still retain a robust force of 54 combat coded fighter squadrons, and maintain our capabilities on airlift as well. the navy, while it will protect its most flexible ships, will lower seven cruisers that have not been upgraded with ballistic missile defense capability. secondly, we felt we have to rebalance our global posture and focus on those areas that represent the greatest threats to our national security. so we will emphasize asia pacific and the middle east. the strategic guidance made clear that we must protect capabilities needed to project power in asia pacific and the middle east. these are the areas where we obviously, as you know just by picking up the newspaper, these are the places that can represent the greatest threats to our security. for that reason, we maintain the current bomber fleet. we maintain our aircraft carrier fleet at a long-term 11 of 11 ships and 10 air wings. we maintai

they reduced a lot of tax shelters from the tax code and reduced the number of tax brackets from six i think down to two, and two rates, 28% and 15%. and that passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. they cleaned up the code. somewhat cleaned up the code, reduced rates, and simplified the number of tax brackets, and it was a good reform bill. i think you can achieve that kind of consensus next year. and i think simpson/bowles is a symptom you might say or a proof positive that a lot of democrats know this has to be done. in '86, democrats got to clean out a lot of the loopholes. and i think we'll do it again in 2013, reduce tax rates, and i think you'll get a bipartisan bill on it. >> steve forbes is our guest. and by the way, we'll be using tout throughout "the washington journal" in the upcoming weeks and months. if you would like to at least see what it's like, go to tout.com/c-span wj. clearwater, florida, stella on our independent line. hi. >> caller: hello and thank you for taking my call. i'm an independent. and, you know, i think politicians ought to be given a lie detect

so our options are either to reduce revenues, increase revenues to reduce expenditures, or do both. on the expenditure side, i have done what i think you can do up to this point in terms of identifying ways to reduce expenditures. so what is left are either making reductions in service which we really would rather not do and would work against some of our strategic plan goals that could be reducing muni service, by increasing the frequency, shortening the hours, or eliminating bus lines, or it can be reducing our street maintenance and it would take longer to clean graffiti off the sign or to get striping redone in the crosswalk. these are things that we really do not want to do. the other area, a potential area for expenditure reduction is in labor savings. the unions representing about half of our employees have open contracts right now that we are currently, along with the city, negotiating. the transit workers union, they are in contracts for the next two years through the next fiscal

actually we are reducing even more of the fiscal deficit in the country. i'm talking about public debt. you can see that the average ocd -- i'm sorry, i made a mistake but the average is like 62.5% of gdp. mexico has now 32% of gdp in public debt depth by the last year so we are in good shape in macroeconomic stability and public finances. that is a very important point, investing in infrastructure in the country. on average, we were spending like 3% of gdp, which is actually very close to the average of oecd countries. in the oecd, the average investment in infrastructure is 3.4% of gdp. we increase the investment in mexico from 3% to almost 5% of gdp a year, which implies to invest roughly like more than $50 billion a year in infrastructure in mexico, public and private. and with that, we are increasing in a very important manner the capabilities of the country and the competitiveness of the industry. let me tell you, for instance, this figure that is to january, but probably we are building or rebuilding almost 20,000 kilometers of highways, country roa

also see reduced tax payment. the one sector that would see an increase payment or the several sectors that would see an increase payment would be finance, insurance and real estate, which would go from about 16% of the total to about 26% of the total. because this is a revenue-neutral proposal, that increase in taxes paid by those industries would be used to reduce the tax rate paid by other industries and as i said, that's one of the reasons why we believe this proposal is a job creator. another aspect that's important part of business tax reform is base broadening. as i said, about 7500 companies paid the tax in 2010. we think that under this gross receipts proposal, about 33,000 businesses in the city would pay tax in some form. i would point out, though, that of those, about 25,000 would pay only in tier one. so it is -- it would be an example of tax reform that would bring more businesses into the tax system but it would also recognize that small businesses generally can't afford to pay the same rates as lar

it reduces overall spending to 21.9% of gdp by 2022, and it reduces discretionary spending to an historic low of 4.8% of gdp by 2022. it builds on health reform with additional health savings, and it fully offsets the doc fix preventing a dramatic drop in payments to doctors who treat medicare patients. it calls for social security reform that ensures the 75-year solvency of social security, and it calls for social security savings to be used only to extend the program's solvency, not for deficit reduction. finally, it includes fundamental tax reform, tax reform that will make the tax code simpler, fairer and more efficient while raising revenue. here is the deficit trajectory under the plan. as i noted, it brings the deficit down to 1.4% of gdp by the end of the decade, well below the 3% level, which is this here, which most economists say is critically important to do. over the ten years of the plan, spending averages 21.8% of gdp which is below the level we experienced during the reagan administration. let me say that again. over the ten years of the plan, spending averages 21.8% of gd

because it reduces their wealth, reduces their ability to hire people to do productive items. the question is whether or not the regulation justifies the cost. i believe my time is up. so that's the kind of thing -- and as to your statement about the health impact epas numbers with regard to health benefits or widely exaggerated in my view and i'd be glad to see the documents that would justify that number. >> they are part of the regulatory analysis of the rules. happy to do so. >> i've examined some of them in the past and they do not back up what your witnesses have said. >> okay. senator sessions, when you were gone i asked the same question about the peer-reviewed studies and i'd like to get that transcript. the answer that administrator jackson has made. the point is that if we ever had a regimen that was clear, it's the sign give particular studies that look at hospital admissions. so i think we ought to look at it. >> one of the studies was some sort of polling data about whether people would pay more and it was not a real health study that they were citing. so i'd jus

man: sewer systems are installed to reduce public health problems. now what you're doing is transferring the problem, you're transferring it to downstream cities. in addition, cities and towns above pittsburgh were doing the same thing. and then they were affecting the water intakes of pittsburgh. 90% of this region gets its drinking water from those same rivers that we have overflows occurring. hecht: we have sewage overflow with as little as 1/10" inch of rain. and our average storm here is a 1/4" storm. lichte: over a year's period, 16 billion gallons' worth of combined sewage and stormwater overflows into our rivers. tarr: it's not a problem of point "x" and point "y" alone. this is a watershed problem. a watershed problem. lichte: the watershed encompasses many municipal boundaries and it doesn't know any local politics. narrator: in the pittsburgh system, 83 cities and towns use the same sewage treatment plant -- alcosan. so all 83 municipalities have to work together to address the problem. schombert: we know we have billions of dollars that w

reducing tax expenditures, or cutting them, is really the best way to reduce government spending. eliminating tax expenditures does not increase marginal tax rates or reduce the reward for saving, investment or risktaking. it would also increase overall economic firnlt sefficiency by removing incentives to distort private spending decisions and eliminating or consolidating the large number of tax based subsidies and greatly simplify tax filing. in short, cutting tax expenditures is not at all like other ways of raising revenue. we also know that we need more revenue. some of my republican colleagues have argued that revenue should not exceed 18% of gdp. the average over the last several decades. but on the five occasions when the budget was in surplus since 1969, revenues have ranged between 19.5% of gdp and 20.6%. and we will likely need a somewhat higher level in the future because the country faces an unprecedented demographic situation wit retirement of the baby boom generation. fiscal commission plan includes the kind of fundamental tax reform that i believe needs to be adopt

president garcia: reduce or eliminate? commissioner fung: i do not think he will be able to eliminate it. president garcia: can there be a combination where a burden is borne within the building to get the walked down to what is accepted by the city. what is it? 5%? commissioner fung: 4.2%. president garcia: i would like to see a combination of you take pain -- you would be paying less. some of the pain would be absorbed because i think some of the warping at 4.2% is less than the warping at 10%. >> we did do that at 11 clement. we are cutting into 11 clement, or we would have to to put a ramp inside. commissioner hillis: 11 clement is the one that has been combined. >> correct. commissioner hillis: that was what i was expecting to see, based on commissioner comments in the last meeting -- some combination of looking at both the warping and interior modifications, and even doing away with the 11 clement -- to see if we can come up with a way to avoid the split sidewalk and the gate solution. >> so, the biggest issue is, i

and the second argument is it would reduce speculation, reduce somehow this volatility. let's take both of these argument. first on the money thing. the whole theme of this morning's panel about the states was if states raise taxes, people will just move and go explanation else or companies will move. well, that logic applies probably times ten or times a hundred in the capital market because money moves instantaneously. his firm moves it like that. you put on a very, very small tax in a market where roughly 50% of the volume is high frequency trading, you will basically wipe out 50% of the market right there. in addition -- so already just do the math, you're talking instead of $150 billion urks down to 75. but it gets worse. sweden tried a transactions tax in early 1990 and found essentially its trading went to other countries in europe. my prediction is if the french go ahead with this tax in august, you're just going to watch trading go to frankfurt and to london and probably to new york and the french aren't going to raise anywhere near the kind of money they're tal

it is helping to reduce the need on the operating side. we're also -- in the maintenance area, we did have some of vacant funded positions. so we have been working with our hr folks to prioritize those positions for hiring so we get regular time bodies in place wherever we have funded vacancies. in the right away from muni, the tracks, overhead wires, signals, switches -- again, we're targeting hiring. but a lot of the over expenditure in this area has been deliberate spending for things like the eureka curve. anyone who writes the light rail line from west portal will notice that the trains slow considerably as they come into castro station but that is because the rails there are worn and are not safe to operate at full speed. at night, we send a crew on overtime to replace those rails, which is the most cost-effective way that we can do so, but it does generate overtime. in terms of the management, the street supervision for muni, we have a pretty significant mismatch between our budgeting and how we are deploying resources. we are plann

that is something we are focused on, reducing costs to deliver the services that are expected of us. he mentioned we're still looking at long-term solutions. the panel will have a final meeting in two weeks to make recommendations along those lines. where we are today is the first opportunity for you to consider the budget until we hit the service standards item. we suggest tomahawk but you will have the -- we suggest that you have the opportunity to do so today estimate by may 1. with that, i want to point out a couple of technical changes. these are pretty minor things, but just for the record, the three-day at a seven-day passports are part of the indexing as opposed to january 1 that doesn't require changes. a special collection fee should have been shown has a rounded figure that will require changes in the transportation co. that is changing of the the currently reads as $36.75 to $37. they should be $20 in the first year at 25 in the second year. otherwise known as meter backing, it has been shown as $22.50 in the transportation co. we are proposing $6 the first year at $7 in

narrator: thanks to regulations to reduce these pollutants, events like this are rare today. however, public health officials estimate that 70,000 americans die prematurely each year due to air pollution. in order to monitor these pollutants kolb and his team at aerodyne research devoped a series of revolutionary laboratory-grade instruments that could be deployed from a mobile van. kolb: we've developed some very capable and very fast research instruments that can be deployed in the atmosphere and measure right away what's there. narrator: traditionally, samples had to be brought back to the lab to be analyzed, but with the mobile van, measurements are instantaneous. the benefit of using real-time instrumentation is that it maximizes the scientific impact that we're able to have when we're out in the field. it looks like we're picking up a good sulfate plume. kolb: the mobile lab is equipped with instruments that can measure every second or so. if you're characterizing an emissions source, and its emissions are changing second by second, as a vehicle might as it stops and st

and those contracts that we can reduce will reduce, obviously, the contract employees. >> because that's the second part of my question. how do you not just reduce civilian employees but contractors so you are really just moving it over to another area. >> we have to make sure that doesn't happen. >> go ahead. >> may i briefly? from 12 to 13, the reduction in civilians is roughly proportional to military. we need to look at the -- frankly, we ran out of time. there's only so much you can do and -- >> i know that feeling extremely well. >> bear with us. that is pending possibly in another proposal? >> well, not in this budget but we'll look at -- because the 13 number is pretty reasonable. beyond '13 and we go through a five-year planning process each year. we need to look again. it may be the right number in the odd years but i'm not so sure. >> the second part of this question as well, obviously you put together a lot in this time period. you talked a lot about procurement reform. some lines going away. but also a lot of innovation that needs to occur that's a heavy technology. so i get

this despied efforts to reduce it. thinking about how to reduce the tax gap is understanding its nature. the tax gap is spread across various types of taxes, and taxpayer and taxpayer behavior. most of the gap is for the individual income tax but the corporate income tax and employment tax are also significant contributors, much of the tax gap is due to misreporting of business income, even for the individual income tax. non-business income contributes. even for a certain category of taxpayer there is a variety of misreporting behavior. for example, in a recent report we found sole proprietors misreport their receipts and expenses and some of each is unintentional while some is intentional. at one level as you heard, the cause of the tax gap is easy to understand. income subject to reporting by two irs by third parties such as employers or banks, has low misreporting. only about 1% of wage income with holding is misreported. on the other hand, 56% of rent, royalty and sole proprietor income with little or no informatio

five programs are eliminated in the forestry title, reducing authorizations by at least $20 million. and over 60 authorizations are eliminated from the research title, reducing authorizations by at least $770 million over five years. madam chairman, that is $24.7 billion, or if you're writing it in the press, almost $25 billion. and mandatory savings. at least $1.8 billion in reduced discretionary authorizations and at least 96 programs or authorizations eliminated. that's the speech i think we're going to probably have to give on the floor of the senate when we get the bill to the floor of the senate to prove to the critics that this is a reform bill. no other committee in the house or senate has voluntarily undertaken programmatic and funding reforms athe this level in this budget climate. this is not only a reform bill. it is one that strengthens our farm risk management, our conservation, our research, and our rural community programs. we have strengthened and preserved the crop insurance program. that is the number one priority of virtually every producer that testified before o

we're not going to reduce risk to zero. i think what you have attempted to do here is to provide a more balanced approach to a wider variety of risk. it is much less likely that we're going to fight two land wars. there is nobody in the world that can engage us with the naval efforts, even after the chinese somehow, some day, get an aircraft carrier or two. this is -- we need to be and i think you have done a great job of helping us think through what we need to deal with the risks of the future, the terrorists, cyberterrorism, a symmetrical attacks, special ops challenges face the right now in uniform and cia and whatnot. i am of the opinion that our military can do this. they can take the parameters that we give them with your leadership, general, and this is something that can be done. i have been stunned at the capacity of what they have done in the past. congress has screwed it up. congress has raised compensation levels, congress has refused to -- talk about entitlements. we haven't raised try care since 1990. it is l

the collapse of the worldwide economy in late 2008 dramatically reduced gasoline prices. i don't think that's the strategy we want to employ as global as that goal is. in addition, natural gas prices are lower than they've ever been. there is a north american market for natural gas. so production on this can consult prices and has. that allows us to displace the coal while still generating electricity. and finally oil is traded worldwide. there's a worldwide price for oil. and a slight increase in production in north america is not going to change the worldwide price. a couple of issues about funding small business. if we had member lending for credit unions and if the credit unions had alternative capital, without washington risking taxpayer money, we'd have capital in the hands of small business. i thank the secretary for nodding, but i hope that we get nodding here in this committee because it is a matter that congress needs to deal with. now as to iran, as you know, mr. secretary, i was disappointed early in the administration where we augmented the imf with $105 mill

the incentive literally reduces the cash the small business owner has to work with. there is not a doubt in my mind that reduced incentives would mean fewer plans and less contributions toward workers' retirement. one of the questions posed for this hearing is whether or not there are too many types of plans. the simple answer is no. a proposal to combine all defined contribution plans into a single type of plan might look like simplification on paper but in practice combining 401(k), 403 b and 457 bs into a single plan would disrupt savings for employees of state and local governments and other nonprofits. and believe me when you're talking to an employer about setting up a plan options and flexibility are not the enemy and one size definitely does not fit all. that is not to say simplification isn't needed. for example we support the small business pension promotion act sponsored by representatives gerlach, kind, and others. we'd be pleased to work with the committee on these and other simplifications. in summary, the road to improved retirement security for workin

these actions will help slowly, but surely, to reduce confidence, restore stability, and reduce vulnerabilities. we need a broader approach that means a stronger, global approach if we are when to keep the crisis at bay and push it back. in today's global economy, with interconnections, a stronger european firewall will be part of the solution, but part of the solution only, and in my view we need something stronger in which the imf can play a role, and that will put a circle of protection around each country that needs it. hear, the imf can help because it is here for all of its members, not just the eurozone, countries at the center of the crisis, but all of those countries that are bystanders. we are constantly assessing and reassessing global risks, taking into account developments in the global economy, in the economic climate, on the markets, as well as all policy actions taken around the world, particularly out of europe. the needs today might not be quite as large as we estimated earlier this year, if only because action was taken by the european institutions that i mentioned earlier. b

and i was concerned about that reduced operating. it required additional analysis before we went on reduced operating stat us. let's push on from where we are today. as i understand the '13 proposal, we're going to go from 3 to 2, and in the area we're going to take out one of the prepositioned forces is inned mediterranean, and just so people understand what areas that allows us for faster response time because we have the prepositioned forces ready to go there in terms of the equipment needed if we have to respond, that's the area of syria, egypt, israel, lebanon, ta tanisia. was it the marines' proposal to. >> senator, discussion came about the time i became what i am today. i want to put it in context. i looked at this thing, having looked for many, many years, and i said, what do i understand to be from do we have? i think we make adjustments on some of the narz you just talked. we'll have to be more questionable, no doubt about it. but my concern. let's make sure that in other word words. training, but. it was brief last night

and reduce the assessment of cost. down to $200. take a roll call? is there any public comment before we go with the motion? he and nunnseeing none, [calling roll] the motion carries it unanimously.

and probably reduced remittances. they must guard against europe especially out of europe. they will have to rebuild the policy buffers they had during the crisis. these kinds of policies will help to get growth restarted over the short term. now over the longer term we must also work towards growth, that is more inclusive, more durable and not just pay lip service to it actually do it. clearly the rebalancing of global economy from adrift in demand from external deficit to external countries is key and this is something that the imf has been advocating a long time. a little bit below the radar screen lately but that is keyed if we want in the long term to address the imbalances. we are seeing some promising finds. in china for interest for the current account of balance has moved from a little over 10% to probably a little less than 3%. that's good but it's only partial because when external factors abate then it will hike again so more needs to be done. we also know based on imf research that a more equitable distri

[applause] >> good evening. i'm the director of transportation. for me, this is not the academy awards. this is the all-star game. the folks sitting over here are truly the all stars of the city. i've had an opportunity to work with ed, harlan, and jocelyn. behalf of all of us. we are also very lucky to have a bunch of people from sfmta, many of them are here. my job is to introduce the awardees. please join me and give a hand for jay primus, george reynolds, steven lee, and lorraine fuqua. >> thank you. this is a tremendous honor. it really does feel fabulous to be recognized. one of the relief fund things about this project is that it is just complex enough and just big enough that it is truly a case where hundreds of people were required to really get it off the ground. there's really nothing -- that's the kind of thing we dream about. working shoulder to shoulder with that many people to make something happen. it has never happened before. what a pleasure. unfortunately, the mfac

and so reduce somehow this volatility. let's take both of these arguments. first on the money thing. the whole theme of this morning's panel about the states is that if states raise taxes, people will just move and go somewhere else or companies will move. well, that logic aplied in the capital markets because money moves instantaneously. and you put on a small tax in a market where roughly 50% of the volume is high frequency, you will basically mark out 50% right there. so already, just do the math. you're down to 75, but it gets worse. sweden tried a transaction tax in early 1990 and found that essentially, it's trading just went out to other countries in europe and my preduction is that if the french go ahead with this tax in august, you're just going to watch trading go to frankfurt, london and new york and the french aren't going to raise anywhere near the kind of money they're talking about. so at the end of the day, it's really just an illusion that you're going to raise this money. you're probably going to just rai

and reduce the assessment of cost. down to $200. take a roll call? is there any public comment before we go with the motion? he and nunnseeing none, [calling roll] the motion carries it unanimously. case no. 67580. commissioners come in your packet you received written requests from the appellate for a continuance, and the department does not object to this. you may want to consider a motion. >> i move continuance. >> second. first and second. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, all in favor to vote for the continuance? this item is continued. case no. 6756423, schmidt, a valley road california 952 action requested by appellant to hear an appeal #6756 previously addressed by the abatement appeals court on january 18, 2012. the department needs a minute to debate the case. >> who will be speaking on behalf of the park department? rosemary, i think we are ready for this. take out i am sorry i stepped out to help the gentleman. this is a brief hearing situation. we included the information before. this was the case just recently befor

to improve costs and reduce -- to improve care and reduce costs for medicare/medicaid beneficiaries, dual eligibles, along with the roughly equal number of medicare only beneficiaries who need long-term care, it is essential that medicare exert its leadership rather than simply shift responsibility to the states. and a major way they can do that, is as i've described, to give priority in delivery reform to people who need long-term care and to coordinating their long-term care as well as their medical services. thank you. >> thank you very much. dr. chernof? >> thank you, chairman kohl, ranking member corker for the opportunity to testify at this critical hearing today. my name is dr. bruce chernof, and i serve adds the president and ceo of the scan foundation, an independent nonprofit foundation dedicated to promoting a steady continuum of quality care for all seniors. where seniors receive integrated medical care in a setting most appropriate to their needs and with the greatest likelihood of contributing to a healthy and independent life. americans today are living longer than in

closer to the coast line, reduced visibility, same in santa rosa, drizzle. the fog is over the north bay and the coast line today. it will be 55 in daily city and half moon bay. 56 in santa rosa. temperatures will not cool much. low 60s in the inland valleys. ovnight we will see -- over night we will see dense fog and drizzle close to the coast line. tomorrow we will see cloudy conditions but sunshine in the bay shores and inland for the afternoon. we will have the rain move back in for wednesday. we will time that out coming up. >>> new tonight, a person who was shot by police officer in fairfield has died. the shooting happened at the suspect's home. this is video. the officer and the suspect got into a fight at 6:00 tonight. the officer called for back up but the suspect was shot before they arrived. details are sketchy tonight. the suspect was taken to the hospital, that is where he died. the officer has been put on administrative leave. >>> three weeks since the shooting at oikos university. today the school reopen for the first time since the tragic da

we've stream linled our commodity programs while reducing the complexity for the producer. we've updated the acreage upon which support is based to reflect more recent cropping patterns. and that's a point i really want to discuss a little bit more. in recent days, it has seemed there has been a little confusion here in the capital region that seems that some think we should write farm safety net programs and allocate their funding by commodity group organization. if all you did was listen to these groups you'd think we're robbing peter to pay paul. i understand that the elimination of direct payments is a big deal to many commodities. well, i originally authorized that program back in 1996. one of the biggest beneficiaries of the program has been wheat, especially in kansas. but the taxpayers have been clear in this budget climate, why should congress defend a program based on planning acreages established over 25 years ago? yes, the elimination of direct payments means the end of many wheat payments in kansas and other wheat-producing areas. but that does not mean kansas

take a look at the visibilities, reduced somewhat. we're only at 70% of normal in easton, maybe patchy fog northern harford county. look for the cloud deck lowering. 60s. but as we go into the delay tomorrow a big shift toward the sunny and another weather maker. we have all the details coming up. >>> he's only six. police need your help findinged person who ran him down. the child was hit by a dirt bike. >> reporter: the 6-year-old's condition has been upgraded from critical to stable but he's had severe injuries as a result of this incident. it happened in the 4200 block of 10th street across from the brooklyn homes apartment. around 6:30 last night the boy was hit. neighbors say there are a lot of dirt bike riders in the area and it's not uncommon to see them in the field. this was an incident that didn't need to happen. >> this was a 6-year-old child who appears to have been struck. we're really reaching out to the community, asking anyone with information. someone knows where the bike was kept at night. we're asking for the publi

we're using it more and more now to help reduce it, but there are several other problems. measles, polio, mumps, and chicken pox. the vaccine-preventable diseases of childhood are rarely seen in the industrialized nations of the world because of the immunization programs that exist. david bennett: measles is still a serious disease in many developing countries, especially in africa and in many countries in asia. even in healthy populations, measles will kill on an average of one per thousand children who are infected with measles, and if you don't immunize, every child would eventually get measles. it's even more serious in african populations where one has other illnesses and malnutrition at the same time, and that means children are quite likely to die, even 10% of children who get measles. in the next few years, the world health community will be targeting measles for eradication. it is next in line after polio. we need to approach diseases individually, where we have specially selected diseases that are amenable to a concentrated attack, to bring them to eradication. t
