This really is a very important issue, not only because the field of forensic science is critically important to upholding our nation's criminal justice system, but also because the forensic sciences are vital in supporting homeland…
Well, that is not a history. And again, this is a real problem and this is why the American people are losing faith in their institutions.
If a person through doing this other essentially can steal hundreds of millions of dollars and there is no penalty except for some civil penalty, that is a real problem.
Today, it sounds like we all agree very definitely that accounts must be segregated.
I hope that we can talk about this again. I think that would be very, very appropriate.
We want to make sure, also, that there was not, how would I say it, just--well, for whatever reason, that the agencies did not do as good a job as they could have done in making sure that they were policing the-- to make sure that this did…
I guess I would like to know, and I think the American people would, to make sure that the individuals in your agency are actually doing the job that we entrust them to do.
We have got, you know, this tremendous mental health problem going on throughout the country especially in rural areas which is a great concern.
Mental health is just a huge problem. We can go to, I think, county jails all over the country where you have people who have tried to commit suicide, that literally there is no room in the State hospitals.

Well, again, I think that is almost unprecedented, having that kind of response, you know, from so many Attorney Generals.
One of my concerns is community pharmacy, and in much of rural America, community pharmacy, in many cases, is the healthcare provider.
You have to change the attitudes of the players and the parents about reporting those symptoms.
I think equipment is going to improve this issue, but it is not going to solve this issue.
No, I think that is excellent. And I do think that those are the little things that really are going to make a difference.
Do we have a test now that we can identify if somebody has gotten a pretty good blow? Is there an easy test to determine?
