Good morning, everyone. I am kathleen hicks. I direct the program here. It is my pleasure to welcome you to this event today. Commander of u. S. Space command and air force base in colorado. We are so lucky to have him joining us for a public conversation with Todd Harrison who directs our airspace security. I almost gave you my job. General raymond willau speak fit and then they will have a moderated conversation followed by audience q and day. Very few things that can be considered bipartisan in nature in washington. The concern over space and space threats are one of those. I hope you will join me in welcoming him. [applause] thank you. I greatly appreciate the invitation. More importantly, thank you for your leadership and wise counsel. I always enjoy coming c here. I had to apologize to the team because i always get more out of these engagements then i give. And i continue to work on. About three years ago, a little over three years ago, right before he took the commander position
