[ applause ] gentlemen, your campaigns have agreed to certain rules and they are simple. They asked me to divide the evening into segments. I will pose a question at the beginning of each segment you will each have two minutes to respond and then we will have a general discussion until we move to the next segment. Tonights debate as both of you know comes on the 50th anniversary of the night that president kennedy told the world that the soviet union installed Nuclear Missiles in cuba.
