Introduce and moderate second panel. Let me begin by introducing myself briefly. My name is bill galston. Am a senior fellow here at brookings and delighted to be a small cog in the institution. People,o introduce two bell, for working tirelessly to bring about, and also, our president , john allen, for letting his vast experience and moral authority to our enterprise this morning, and i think it is a sign that brookings is spiritually aligned with the National Service movement.
