i think the best thing they could do is to try to channel those resources -- one of the biggest weaknesses of the region is education, scienceand technology. then you are going to be able to not just get basic commodity exports but add value to those exports. that's the clear opportunity we have. not trying to challenge any u.s. interests, but with the wealth of resources the region has, why can't we have companies -- you look at national resources but add technology in education, i think that's the most sensible way of investing this money. although i think we are just going to be wasting one more time. >> that was very well said. thank you very much. we don't have a lot of time but i want to give to the audience. why don't we take a around of three questions. please keep statements to a minimum. let's go right to the questions. identify yourself by name and organization. if your question is directed to a specific panelists, address it to them, otherwise we will as soon as for the entire panel. >> i'm from inside u.s. trade. this is a two-part question for the panel. it was alluded to -- it seems that in the past couple of
