The biggest thing it had to do with the project was where would the interstate go. The engineers worked with the possibility for a long time of running the interstate over the top of the dam. That would have required a larger dam, of course. But all of this is con verveg at the same time. The interstate planners are making their plans for which path the interstate is going to ta take. The decision to run it through Summit County the final decision wasnt made until 1960. By that time, denvers engineering of the dam had moved on. So they ended up running it along the base of the dam rather than on it. It did have some affect. Like i said, by the time the interstate was designated, it was no longer really an issue. It was essentially a water project. Yes. I think we have time for one more question. Which one of you wants to ask the question . Flip a coin. I wanted to know your guesstimate on Vacation Land of the huge traffic jams we see now on 70. How is that going to impact our economy a
And active relationships between our Computer Emergency Readiness Team and certs that are being stood up all around the world by countries. The uk has just stood up a new cert. They had a couple certs before that and stood up a new one to act as a fuller counter part. But there are certs in lots of counties with which they interact on a daily basis. And that is obviously essential. These threats i mean, its most obvious in cyber but it is true across the board, you know, Mother Nature doesnt really know borders and we saw that as we contemplating the potential consequences of the aftereffects of the tsunami in japan. Terrorism clearly is a transnational crime. We have to have that international piece. The tenyear, again, the landscape changes so rapidly that it is an incredibly hard challenge to think about what we might confront. But i will tell you my sort of utopian vision for where i would like to see us heading and where i would like to see us closer to in ten years. You know, aga
Have grown through mergers and acquisitions and that have acquired companies and later find out after they have connected all their networks and systems, that that company that they acquired did not have good cyber hygiene and was riddled with problems that have now infected the entire network. Lawyers need to help with that. Auditors need to help with that. Venture capitalists. Were out talking to venture capitalists to say if youre investing in a company, youre investing in large part in that intellectual property, and if you havent done the Due Diligence to assure yourself that they have good cyber hygiene and have taken appropriate care to protect that information, you are throwing your money down a rat hole because that intellectual property is going out the back door. Attorneys in this room and your colleagues work with these folks on a daily basis. I need your help in spreading the word. The more secure any one of us becomes, the more secure all of us are. This is a this is a jo

Thank you very much, joe, thank you for once again taking the laboring war and putting together this very thank you to all of you, who are here today who have taken the time to be here, but who also, i know on a daily basis care about and in many cases work to achieve our shared objective of ensuring safe, secure, resilient communities where our this is like a class reunion. And in many ways it is, a lot of former dhs folks here, a lot of current dhs folks here, but also a lot of you in private practice and in academia and elsewhere, all of whom contribute to the solving, addressing, understanding the challenges that we face. So thank you all of you for what you do. I bring greetings from secretary jay johnson, secretary of Homeland Security who would love to have
Transport like what eisenhower had, which was one of the things that apparently convinced him of the need for a system of defense highways. Im not aware that there was any use of interstate 70 for those purposes. It seems to have been, as far as the evidence i have been able to find. There was a lot of talk at those times about the highways being defense highways. The official name for them, for the interstate system when it was created in 1956, the National System of interstate and defense highways. Thank you. Two questions. I believe i read or heard that the interstate through Glenwood Canyon cost more than the entire rest of the interstate 70 cost total. I dont know if thats true. But i frankly would not be surprised at all. The cost as you probably know it kept ballooning as the design changed, as they ran into as Highway Builders always do, into unexpected geological obstacles. I would not be surprised, but i dont know the dollar values. Another question about president eisenhower
