This is very different times, but i never quite imagined or expected might be. First on my list to kick off, five or six things. First on my list is the challenge of doing strategic analysis. Strategic intelligence by which i mean, intelligence that tries to put pieces together, say how important issues are relating to each other. Often looking forward in time. That was the Traditional Mission of the National Intelligence council when i was vice chair. As scott said i was vice chair 20 years ago. So i am a very slow rise are, 20 years to become chairman.
