Strangle the Nuclear Program in the cradle as often as we could, including throughout the 1990s and beyond that. From the iranian perspective, they could not sign onto a deal that didnt enshrine their deal to have an indigenous Nuclear Energy Program Including enrichment. While that certainly would not have been my preference going into this conversation, i started my job as the guy going after iranian enrichment efforts. The practical reality is we faced a country that was not relinquishing thi...

Approach to cyber warfare between the public and the private sector. Can we say all private sector and the Public Sector goes one way and are there any differences in the approach to that . Thank you. You want to take that. And i have a little bit of a different perspective than my panelists so this should be a interesting discussion. 85 of the networks in the United States are private. And contrary to popular belief the National Security agency is not on those networks. Not unless they have a w...

Been completely unhelpful. In may of this year the Enforcement Bureau says they intend that the broadband providers should enemploy Privacy Protections. What does that mean . I have no idea. I sp prks isps have no idea. I have no idea. I would rather have let the experts who have protected consumers handle this issue based on law that you have given them. They have the expertise to handle these issues, correct . Expertise and legal authority, yes. The chairman talked another issue about privacy ...

Credibility and accountability and will tip to do so. Do you have another question. Im going to make a quick note on that. And see if dan agrees. Afghanistan is going from a fairly corrupt patronage system to a system which will be professional, transparent and noncorrupt. That is a long hard road to travel. And if president ghani moves too fast he will break his politics. And he will cause so many groups to be disgruntled with him and organize against him. So we have to be patient and recognize...

But there is a potential and we have participated in this way. And there are many online interest in these issues. So should there come a day when we can engage with them more transparently. And i think that the government has done some important things from their symbolic first few days in terms of reopening this investigation and trying to continue this from that. Including what others are taking in terms of procurement to try to constrain corruption. We talked about it quite openly and transp...

In a natural relationship. But that being said, you dont want to create the government has a responsibility to the taxpayer to be fair and to be transparent. You have to do that. The question becomes how can you do that but at the same time give industry the flexibility to do what they need to do . I dont know there is a good answer which is why acquisition reform has been a buzzword for decades and continues to be something we continue to strive for and continue to struggle with. But i would sa...

Policy. It was emerrill rogers not that long ago said just as much as that, that we dont have a good cyber offensive policy. We talked about it ad infinitum in classified settings for the entire ten years i was on the Intelligence Community and we could never get consensus to move to the next place on what that cyber offensive is. And by the way just as a personal note i just saw that the Administration Says theyre going to make china pay for the consequence of the opm hack. I cant wait. I canno...

Hamiltons vision is alive and well because his letter to those commanders resonates with each and every person in the coast guard. Ill now read my notes no, actually im done with that. And what id like to do is open it up to question and answer. [ applause ] and now the fun part. Some of the questions have been quite interesting, admiral. Lets see. Senate Armed Services Committee Members are concerned that russia has 40 arctic icebreaker ships and america has one. Is that going to change and whe...

Are moving away from a hardwareladen approach to more software to having digital things early in the cycle. Thats kind of like maybe a crude summary of what you said, but can you elaborate on what you need by that and implications for how the u. S. Does business in that field . Because the three questions were put so succinctly. There was one more hand and ill bring that into the mix and then well just wrap up. Hi. My name is steve barron. Im a soldier and defense fellow though my remarks are my...

What were talking about. This is a field of lettuce. The interesting thing is this is after the harvest. What is appears about to get filed under. Why would be plowed . What happens is they go out and measure when the average head of lettuce is the exact right size. Why . Most romaine lettuce is grown for a bag. You go to the store, to trader joes or whole foods, and if you notice, the top is intact. As a result, nature does not grow things perfectly. Some are short, some are tall. The only thin...
