the region is also coming along.he region has already, since we did our study, implemented some form of pricing on the bay bridge, for example. where there is a larger charge. i think we are moving in that direction. the technology is improving in terms of collection and detection and follow through and so on. and we've also been learning from the experiences of the cities that you mentioned, especially stockholm and london which have not repealed their congestion pricing programs. in fact, found them to be effective in providing funding for transit and alternatives for people who want other alternatives. so, i think this is an item that will continue to be in discussion. we have continued to keep the follow through of the study alive. and i believe that administration, the next administration will be faced with this issue at the federal level simply because we don't see in the transportation community agreement on an increase in the gas tax, the federal gas tax. but there is a clear need, as you saw in the plan, for

region to asia and to the pacific region do you do you do you agree with that i think definitely this is the case and i think the summit and actually it's very critical that it's happening in russia is it a case or a trend i mean moving the moving i think it's a trend really and if you see china's gross if you see some of the efforts of the region in the eastern part of the world to integrate and to have internal growth you see a major shift happening because whereas before for example china was exporting most of the things into the united states now it has a very robust very significant internal market and this is a case with many economists so definitely becoming a very big factor in what is happening in the world but if we keep in mind the economic difficulties and we even call it an economic crisis that that happened in the west and many western countries have have still not recovered from this from this economic crisis is it true that the asian countries they look more reliable in terms of economic cooperation than the usual western partners but is obviously really more reliable

pacific region the share is much smaller although this region is developing but it record it has to do with the different reasons first and foremost due to the fact that during our and soviet times russia's been attention to developing far east. but it was not that active in developing this region. as it should have been. as far as the us talk goes this was closed it is the base of the naval fleet and it was closed your eyes with this. and let much was developing here in vale of russia russia will be behaving differently. first of all to meet them google tried to possible raise to develop infrastructure. there's nothing new that i could see children citizens but it would be interesting for our foreign guest to find out. before the beginning of the twenty first century. pressure. developing in. such a way that when it was possible to get to go there was talk of my life when it was possible. for them to. go there whereas. during summer the only possible way was the indian ocean. there the first railways . but one thirteen zero four it was. the second row appeared in the eighty's it's jus

and another data point obvious is the western region's where we had a regional commissioner again that was out of control. so that that structure was not working. ultimately, how an agency organizes itself and how it chooses to manage itself is an agency function, and it's not really the job of the inspector general to tell them how to organize themselves. i feel like it's a bit out of my lane. >> i want the chairman to know that this happened, and it was almost as if they waited in the confusion of the transfer of administration, knowing that no one would be paying close attention, and they moved quickly and cleanly to change the supervisory authority of the appointment that congress has a role in. and i think the reason congress has a role in those appointments is it augments and enhances the oversight capacity of congress, and clearly, even though i am also for i will tell you i'm a big fan of the acting commissioner. i think he is taken really aggressive steps that are hard to do in government to clean this mess up, and i don't think we can claiming the horse when the horse is tryi
