Not necessarily accomplishing what we really need to accompli accomplish. So i have an urgency, an im in my management style. We need to be sure that the successful. Is how did it get off track and when . Good question. Back, its decades and decades of problems that havent been dealt with for a long time that essentially the solutions were difficult, so from ot pushed off administration to administration administration. Theres a natural progression of these problems developing until clearly. Hem now so and you cant go back and change things, but if you could, you have changed . Its a matter of not putting decisions. When there are organizations outside of government are taking and modernizing, government cant afford to fall and keep its head in the sand. These are Management Issues that been important to address and now well tackle them head on. You consider yourself a doctor first and foremost . Absolutely. Patients, but its who i am.

Its hard to imagine anyone more suited to the topic of a career in intelligence than mr. James clapper. Its a great treat to have him here this evening. As you can see from his background, hes had over five years of experience in the Intelligence Community, in the military side, on the civilian side, inside and outside government and overseas as well and maybe its not listed in his bio but maybe someone can ask him a question to tell you about his 2014 visit to north korea to rescue a couple of americans who got caught up there.

And said to ourselves what do we need to do better . And we will ask you later after we wrap up to dwif us your feed back for this year. Last year we were going through that, a cup of things were apparent to us quite quickly. One was as tish likes to remind me, we need to always be thinking about diversity on the panel. And well continue to do better on that. The second thing that we thought about was you know, this intelligence business is increaseingly an international business. And so we knew we wanted to do something that brought an International Flavor to the summit. This year. I wont preach, but the business of intelligence is no longer about just secrets. Its a Global Business now. And no nation can maintain the Global Awareness that they want in the Information Age without corporation. We gt a got a go
I know were out of time but could you address the question with you would take a fresh look in terms of fbi regulations about other parts of market coverage . Thank you for your letter which i read last night and i agree with you that we need to look at those other important venues in our equity market system to see if they should be reporting on the same basis and as you raised in your letter, whether the public has enough information about which entities are subject . Important we get the information out because responsible entities can vote and move to areas that have this minimum protection in place. Rounds. Good morning. Some of my colleagues have raised the issue of cyberattack, the Electronic System filing corporate disclosures. This incident occurred before your nomination and confirmation but i would like to hear your thoughts on what this incident might suggest about broader posture regarding cybersecurity. It is difficult for any one agency to protect against these intrusion
