Community of 60,000 people, midway between philadelphia and trenton, new jersey. With a giant Shopping Center, winding lanes named for flowers and trees, it is fairly tip kohl of communities all over america, where families are pursuing the American Dream to give their children a better chance in life. Levittowners are people of modest means. Nearly all are young people. A large proportion are veterans. There are a few social agencies, and while many religious groups have established churches, they have not yet had time enough to develop programs to adequately serve the community. Most levittowners are proud and happy in their new environment. For many, it is the first house of their own and it represents a major financial investment. Social life is mainly confined to visits with the neighbors. Occasionally there are communitywide events.

A place that we can afford. The right place for us. And even from the car we try to
Good day. Welcome to the Hudson Institute. Im todd linberg, a seen the yor fe senior fellow here. Were having a conversation today with peter burkowitz, the developer of planning at the state department. Peter is on leave from the stanford university, peters undergraduated years, he has an m. A. In philosophy from the Hebrew University in jerusalem, and then a j. D. And ph. D. From yale. And so hes obviously rather overqualified for any position he finds himself in. But were glad hes able to join us today to talk about this report. The elements of the china challenge. This is a report by the policy planning staff in the office of the secretary of state. Ill just say a word or two about that office. The policy planning staff is an office within the secretarys office. So it is tasked principally by the secretary to undertake such research and policy planning, indeed, as he zeem deems fit and this staff is, of course, a political appointee and has led the office since early in 2019.
