To Houssieni - What is the short term problem with relocating and will there be more refugees? Reintegration is a challenge as they before the 30 years of conflict were near the bottom already - and war destroyed much of what they had. Many refugees face lack of all basic services. The era of voluntary return is likely over. Low absorption capacity, lack of employment conditions (many in Iran better there), lack of security (many in Pakistan) and also many elsewhere no longer think, live like Afghans.

Asked about the draft on the metrics the Obama administration just wrote - Craddock says he didn't see them - but says they need to measure things that define how successful they are - rather than just measuring what is easy to measure. Calls for pulling a lot of analytical people together.

Hearing ajourned.
