As a significant as it was during katrina . Holy cross, it came and went. Here it stayed and stayed for weeks and weeks. Was this middleclass . High net worth. You can see theres a little mentioning even in a house leak that, actually a house like that was 250,000 which is a lot, and you know, considering. These nights maybe these newer ones and closer to the lake, the more expensive. But yeah, these are 350, 400,000 houses. And some of you know, the two story ones, the pool.

Its hard to imagine anyone more suited to the topic of a career in intelligence than mr. James clapper. Its a great treat to have him here this evening. As you can see from his background, hes had over five years of experience in the Intelligence Community, in the military side, on the civilian side, inside and outside government and overseas as well and maybe its not listed in his bio but maybe someone can ask him a question to tell you about his 2014 visit to north korea to rescue a couple of americans who got caught up there. I first met mr. Clapper in the 1990s when i was a baby bureaucrat in the pentagon and he was head of Defense Intelligence agency.

Begins with an intelligence update so it was almost like a ritual prayer. Mr. Clapper would intel be intoned the latest update on whatever heart problems were at the table that day. Its been my pleasure over my entire career to work with a talented members and in particular and the white house who worked with mr. Clapper directly. For legions of intelligence professionals noting the integrity and humanity with which he has led the Intelligence Community from and he truly personifies the leader. And so its a special honor to introduce you tonight. The other thing that shows the humility of that is i did a little bit of surveying some of his former teammates and they said a favorite saying of his is that their job was to be in the engine room show boring shoveling the cold so i am sure we will have more than coal from the conversation he offers us today, so it is my distinct honor to invite mr. James clapper to the podium. Thank you very much. [applause] thanks very much. Its great to be
