The saints play and the title game was two years ago. It was built at public expense. After Hurricane Katrina was damaged, hosting the Football Games was a national feelgood story and rightly i would say so. Of thelic paid for all repairs. The leak put in a token amount. Billionic has put in 1 for the mercedesbenz superdome. The man who owns the new Orleans Saints keeps on most of the revenue generated. Why dont people rebel . One is many people do not understand it is taking place. Feel it isis they nothing they can do about it. It is based on insider deals. The most recent was a vote in miami on whether to use public money to renovate the place where the Miami Dolphins play and the residence of voting against doing that. More with the king of sports author. Spent a lot of time dealing with the fcc in my life. Important that the agency make the decisions and make him in a timely fashion.

Needed to achieve to move our state forward. Now listen, i know that if we can do this in trenton, new jersey, maybe the folks in washington, d. C. Should tune in their tvs right now. [applause] see how its done. [applause] listen, were new jersey. We still fight. We still yell. But when we fight, we fight for those things that really matter in peoples lives. And while we may not always agree, we show up. We show up everywhere. We dont show up just in the places that votes for us a lot, we show in the places that vote for us a little. We dont just show up in the places where were comfortable, we show up in the places where were uncomfortable. Because when you lead you need to be there. You need to show up. You need to listen and then you need to act. You dont just show up six months before an election. You show up four years before one. [applause] and you dont just take no for an answer the first time no happens. You keep going back and trying more because when i was elected four years
Institute to present a book that i fear may seem from its title like im bringing coals to new castle, why government fails so often. This is, after all, the Cato Institute. And so this message will be, i think, affirming to you, but what i hope to suggest is you may not fully appreciate the reasons why government fails or the magnitude of the failure and how it might be, those failures might be remedied.

Im also delighted to be on a panel with wally olson with whom ive worked for, my god, its almost 30 years. He edited a book to which i contributed way back in the 1980s. And also to be on a
Say hi in you get a chance. Hes a c17 engine guy. Maybe he could build a new launch platform or something. He could probably build anything. Yes, sir, john. Yes, sir. Your title here is strategic agility, and you talk in here about taking advantage of different points. The lesson, though, of acquisition programs in the last few years seems to be dont change the requirements because that causes a lot of expense. So how do you reconcile the two . Are you going to have more frequent overhauls of the program . How do you take advantage of new technologies as they come along without dhachanging the requirements and changing the technology assertion . Our best in this is with the new programs. They are what they are and we have to do the best we can with the new technologies over the years. To the extent we built open air modulars, architectures and the like, this is a way we can plug in different types of capability, different types of technology as Technology Changes over the years. We can
