Will come back to the auditorium. Both those president here and watching at home.

And so we thought it useful to examine how those arose, what the nature of the problems of the discovery is and how the Intelligence Community is responding to them and whether the response is adequate. So the discussion will be headed up by prizewinning port reporter, Charlie Savage. His book power wars is probably the best portrait of nast National Security policy making.
