the report like this >> certainly changes in terms of how they inspect aircraft before they leave rentons a given. we already see faa inspectors on the shop floor checking the work at key points and making sure boeing is doing what it is supposed to be doing you will see that. in terms of fines, it is too early to know if we will see something like that, frank this is the faa realizing that what happened during the max after the crashes in 2018 and 2019 and the faa was really criticized and rightly so in many ways for being too slow to act with boeing. they are not doing that this time around. mike whitaker realizes their job is to be a regulator that's what they are doing they are making sure all of the rules and regulations are followed and that this doesn't happen again you can't have a piece of a plane fly off in mid flight. >> phil lebeau, latest on boeing phil, thanks >>> we turn to d.c a news alert from washington the biden administration announcing billions of dollars in fresh infrastructure spending the president and other administration members are on the road today to promote

meanwhile, in renton, washington, in one hour, at the plant where they build the 737 max, they will beolding an employee town hal. this will be led by boeing leaders. they'll be talking with their employees. basically reiterating, safety culture, a culture of accountability, quality control, all of the things that we have heard from dave calhoun and his top executives for some time. but clearly that needs to be driven home once again, whether or not new initiatives are announced that remains to be seen. as you take a look at shares of boeing, all comes on a day when they actually improved their monthly deliveries. in december, they delivered 67 planes, improvement compared to november and the fourth quarter year of year was better. deliveries for all of 2023, 528 planes. their delivery targets for all of 2023, they hit them. and that's important because there was some speculation a few weeks ago they might fall short of their delivery target for 737 maxs, but they hit those as well as the targets in terms of their guidance for the dreamliner as well. guys? >> couple quick questions. th
