Second, I'm ordering each federal department and agency to reduce its administrative as opposed to its program costs by 12% over the next four years. With better planning and innovation, we can make better use of the money we already have. In many agencies, overhead is too high, red tape is too thick, and the day-to-day operations of the agencies have not been reexamined in a very long time.

Yeah, we are. How? We're going to have all the people from the World Health Organization and the UN and the Doctors Without Borders, Partners in Health, all these people are going to come together and talk about it. The United States has done a lot. President Obama's gotten some money through Congress and the Pentagon's committed a good bit of money and resources.

Look, this is an emergency because nobody knows how to cure this. Right. We know that almost 5,000 people have been infected. We know that more than 2,600 have died. Almost certainly more than that have been infected. The problem is, as compared with previous outbreaks of Ebola, which were in remote rural areas, this has hit in some urban areas.

And when it got into Nigeria and the Congo, there are a lot of people there. And there are just so many bodies brushing up against one another every day, it increases the risk. You have to isolate and care for. A lot of these people can survive if they get proper care quickly. And we can stop the epidemic and let it burn itself out if we can isolate everybody that's infected.

Well, we can in Liberia, where we're very active and where we've been there, you know, from the beginning of President Johnson's tenure. In other countries, they will have to work with the local health ministries.

They'll have to work with the local people, which is why it's encouraging to me that we may have an African coordinator who will have, I think, a lot of credibility working with the overall UN coordinator and the World Health Organization and everybody else.

I think, by and large, Doctors Without Borders deserves an enormous amount of credit because they have put their lives at risk and put everything into it. So many people have gone there to serve. And now that Partners in Health is going in, Partners in Health is my partner in Africa, and they've done a lot of work in Africa, and they have a very good name.
