This lowers the threshold to $1. Any gift from any source, every gift or contract from any country--if you have some Canadian collaborators or somebody from Great Britain offering you coffee and donuts, you have to report it on a…

This is an amendment that we should be able to accept. The problem is that it is hard to imagine how the college could actually comply with it. Any association with a terrorist organization obviously should be avoided. You are not dealing…
