And members will remember fondly serving alongside here and the facing of serious illness in the recent years was inspiring. Today the prayers of this entire body are with kays husband chip, children jeanette, tilton and carrie and with all of their family and friends at this extremely difficult time. Now, on a completely different matter on sunday morning, we woke up to a better and safer world because one monster was no longer in it. Abu bakr albaghdadi was the founder and leader of isis, in recent years made him the singlemost important target in the fight against radical islamic terrorism. His band of fanatics has committed heinous crimes and shed an unmant un unimaginable blood in an entire reason. Isis has been part of a civil war in syria that claimed hundreds of thousands of innocent lives. Theyve run slave auctions of women and girls, and affected the genocide of the yeazidi people.

Good morning, ladies and j gentlemen. Im john allenen, president of brookings. On behalf of the institution and our partners, i want to welcome you all to this important event today.
