And countering the flow of foreign fighters and countering messages and we can build on current or local efforts being taken to counter daesh affiliates locally around the world. We must not forget that daeshs lit frp ledge legitimaty is tied to a caliphate with specific geography. This means our overarching objective must not be just countering daesh around the world but bearing down hard encore daesh in iraq and syria and squeezing and degrading and daesh there in its core makes it much more difficult for an affiliation to stand alone beyond the boundaries of the iraqsyria region. So as a coalition we cannot eliminate every rivalry, whether between nations or different faiths or those who hold power and historical grievances, one against another.

Component have to be thought about today, have to be improved. All of this relates clearly to some big themes in defense, budgeting, Defense Strategy, to what extent is Technology Changing so fast that we need to emphasize pursuit of a revolution of military affairs perhaps even more than we have been. To what extent do we need to get on top of a new wave of innovation and make sure our adversaries dont do it first. Or what extent is this an ongoing evolutionary process and a lot of exciting important things are happening but we dont need to get overly excited or disruptive about our approach to defense resource allocation.

Think of me and us as a resource to help navigate that. What i brought today for the purposes of an introduction, im glad to answer any questions about our body of work but i highlights pages to two testimonies and theyre on the table over there.

And we were asked to look out how much progress had sba made in implementing the Small Business Disaster Response and improvement act of 2008. Its a mouthful. Ill now call it the 2008 act. Very important piece of legislation. It was a good way to look at progress sba had made from basically the problems that incurred during katrina and rita and it was also what remained to be done. The other thing we did was extensive fieldwork looking at the response of the 2008 disasters, which were of a smaller magnitude of katrina or sandy.

Only figured out what the computer was for. The digital revolution. The maker revolution is really a combination of the two, digital meet industrial. It is the digitization of the Manufacturing Technology but not just introducing Digital Technology into factories because we had that decades, since the 1970s. What it is is personal computers to democratization, the introduction of digital manufacturing tools to anybody and everybody. That is when we see the web innovation mall, when we see the creativity, the energy of everybody start to come to bear on the Biggest Industries in the world. This is the Maker Movement.
