And just delighted Susan Page will be leading a discussion with secretary Jay Johnson and Phil Zeliko who can share some thoughts about where the process takes us going forwards. The bipartisan Policy Centers efforts here really began over a decade ago when Tom Kane and lee hamilton, the chairs of the 9 11 commission came to bpc and led a series of discussion groups and recommendations and papers trying to advance the core findings of the 9 11 commission. And i am reminded by todays events that much of our work focused on the fact that there were really two types of recommendations
