You're welcome, Salanieta. By the way, the original Washington Post article Michael forwarded has either been moved or may no longer be available.<div><br></div><div>Here's a link to the entire hearing - 160 min. of Bills Clinton & Gates testifying March 10, 2010 to the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations about "Building on Success: New Directions in Global Health." I didn't find the apology to Haiti yet. If someone does, send us the time log for that part, okay? <a href="http://foreign.senate.gov/hearings/hearing/20100310_2/">http://foreign.senate.gov/hearings/hearing/20100310_2/</a> From the parts I watched so far, this is a breathtakingly expansive discussion worth listening to in full.</div>

security issues in Asia Pacific - with "rice shortages" and have to<br>
deal with balancing food imports.<div><div class="h5">
