Given its extensive record of collaboration with the DOL and the Council’s ready availability as an information resource, as well as a successful review conducted by the U.S. Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) Subcommittee in 2008 of child labor in the carpet industry, including bonded labor (See 73 Fed.

    The West Wing Weekly 0.14: Veep Guests: Gary Cole and David Mandel [Intro Music] HRISHI: You're listening to The West Wing Weekly. I’m Hrishikesh Hirway. JOSH: And I’m Joshua Malina. HRISHI: Well, we're done with season six and as a result, we're done with Vice President Bob Russell. That was his last episode last episode. JOSH: That's right. But before we start season seven, we've got a bonus episode and we could think of no better way to honor Bingo Bob, and one of our other favorite shows about politics, than with a special episode on Veep with special guests Gary Cole who played VP Russell, of course, as well as Kent Davison on Veep and Veep's show runner: Dave Mandel. HRISHI: Veep is an amazing show and you should all be watching it or you should be done watching it now that the series is wrapped. If you don't know Veep has been nominated for a total of 59 Emmys and it won 17 of them. It just ended this past May and like The West Wing, it's going to be missed. But we were thrilled to get the chance to talk to Gary Cole and Dave Mandel. GARY: This is Gary Cole and I play Kent Davison on Veep and on West Wing, known as Bingo Bob. What was his last name? I don’t know [crosstalk] JOSH and HRISHI: [crosstalk] Russell GARY: Bob Russell JOSH: I love that you had to ask that. GARY: Yeah. I did.
