let me ask gordon and donald strauss, should we read into these weak fdi numbers a lot or a little? i think you ought to read a little but not a lot. the july number just reported was way down from june. it always is it that's purely seasonal. it is the case that foreign direct investment this year is about 3% blow last year, and in that sense why it is a negative sign for china. >> it wasn't just july, june was very weak as well, june contracted about 7% as well. >> yes, you're right. if you take the first seven months of the year. that's voters, investors, was down about 3% from a year ago. it was down the first half of the year. so i think people are hitting the panic button here. there is more coming in than out of china. >> so should we will hitting code orange, will we benefit as a result? >> i think there is a panic button we should be hitting. the fdi numbers were not the worst numbers we saw in july for the second quarter. if you look at the balance of payments turned negative in q 2, we saw perhaps 110 billion worth of capital flight, and if you look at the electricity num

so oppenheimer who was arrogant made fun of him in the congressional hearing hancock strauss never forgot or fergie for oppenheimer. but he was a primary force behind the lobby for the each bomb so they can to opposition. he was the chief figure behind the hearing. it was his engineering that caused it to take place. the hearing was on like a trial. it was a secret administrative procedure that unlike a trial you are not allowed to confront your accuser. it takes place in secret. the rules of evidence do not apply. there is no appeal except to the commission itself as the deputy lawyer told me it is not much more than a kangaroo court but this is a mechanism that and because they did collude on this and this is clear from the fbi files this is a mechanism by which they are going to remove oppenheimer from influence and from washington. the way they do that is with -- well, next slide. the hearing goes for three weeks in april and may of 1954 the0by! his transcript but this is the climactic, and we're basically the prosecutor is hired by the occasion confronts oppenheimer with a story that
