we need to cover the good and the bad, as william harlan hale said in february of 1942, just days after the beginning of our entry into world war ii, he said in the first voa broadcast, as you all know, "the news may be good, the news may be bad, we will tell you the truth. we'll cover the country honestly and fairly, its troubles and its shortcomings, but it won't be a fair picture unless we cover all the other things about america as well. its people. its energy for change as well as its force to resist change. its generosity as well as its greed. its hope equally with its despair. the striving for a just society as well as the failures to achieve it." there's an amazing amount of resources and passion and commitment inside the cohen building, and among our brave and dedicated correspondents around the world who face danger every day to bring us and the rest of the world the news of their struggles, i believe we can show the world the amazing things we can do and in doing that we can truly be the voice of america. thank you. i will now subject myself to questions. >> please wait for t
