Of social media and its impact on politics. Good evening. Welcome to the 30th anniversary celebration of the cspan archives. I am Robert Browning, the director of the archives. It was 30 years ago this month that we turned on the vhs machine. [laughter] robert i have to explain what those are. They made a lot of noise as they wound and rewound. It is all digital recording. Today, it is all digital recording. Our original goal was to record everything on cspan, index it and make it available for public use. It is fun 30 years later to look at how those goals have been met , which is what our panel is about. Back then, the internet as we know it today did not exist. Digital recording was unknown. The cloud was something you watched in the sky. But we had a vision, a vision of what could be if we kept this material, not knowing how it would be used and we are creating the future of american democracy, the history of american democracy. Before i turn this over to mitch daniels, were going

Good morning. Thank you for being here. First, i want to thank our last panel and the Mccourt School of Public Policy for cohosting our discussion on bill clintons vision of america. We are looking forward to continuing the conversation as we go a little more global. I am the executive director of the institute of politics and Public Service here at the Mccourt School. We could not be more proud to be hosting this symposium. Before we begin the next conversation, much has been said about our former president and his decision to come to georgetown, to enter the school of Foreign Service, the only school he applied to as a high school student, in part because he wanted to expand his horizons and get a more global view. Some other schools would allow him to. So, as we have a conversation about his global vision, we thought it would be fun for a few minutes to reflect on bill clinton and his time at georgetown. Enjoy this walk down memory lane. We will continue the conversation afterward.

It may provide context for this discussion. Sap sanctions are key. They should be designed accordingly. That means calibrating sanctions relief based on achievable actions we wish to see from a foreign actor. Tailoring sanctions is important for secondary sanctions given how banking restrictions have less predictable effects. They reported and the full house overwe o
