P. M. Eastern on cspan. Now, a discussion on cybersecurity and how the department of Homeland Security is changing to meet new threats. Panelists include leading experts from both government and corporations, followed by remarks from former National Intelligence director dennis blair. This is an hour and a half. [inaudible conversations] all right. Were going to kick start this. I know some are on break, but just given our time crunch, i want to make sure were able to cover enough time for panel to actually share some of their insights and thoughts. This is a bit of a, it coffers a wide range of issues from insiders threats to foreign counterintelligence to cybersecurity, but i think one of the things we hope to be able to do is show how they come together, where they do come together and where they dont. And, quite honestly, theyre treated as very pratt disciplines separate disciplines, but i thought we have a great group to shed some light on some of these issues. Firstly, let me int
Credit for having a centralized oversight. Clear transparency and accountability about how we are going about it. We are getting positive feedback from industry and improvements we are making in the process. Very open dialogue there with reverse engineering days and other things. Hopefully there is plenty of issues they want to address. We have documentation as they are Going Forward now. New people working two components. Making it easier for everyone to work together. We have to make sure it sticks in the muscle memory and people see the value. To be candid, i found it easier in private industry when i was in charge at johnson johnson. We convinced all the u. S. Marketing companies to buy their vehicles for the sales force through a common strategic purchasing. Look at the amount of savings that brought a choice of vehicle, etc. Each of the operating companies, they got the financial benefit. They got an immediate benefit of money saved they could use for themselves. It doesnt work t
Was no president has ever considered the constitutionality of but which remains on the books. Talk about the struggle. The congress has spectacularly refused to accept. He served to suggest the expansion is a oneway ratchet at the end of which lies something clearly outside our constitutional condition. A larger view is that it is cyclical. If cyclical. If the executive is saying this as having gone too far congress will eventually reasserted itself. And that reassertion could take the broadest form. And so i do not share the view that this is a oneway ratchet or linear process. This is the latest act in an ongoing constitutional drama that we have been watching unfold for two and a quarter centuries and i do not expect it to end anytime soon, nor do i wanted to. As a reminder for running at the time. I have questions myself. So please raise your hands if you have a question and then wait for the mike and identify yourself as for 5. 67 megabytes. I would agree with most of your 18. 81
Trust issue. We all know there is. But its both ways. And until we get into communities and Work Together and talk about it i mean, one of the worst things in a Police Department is you never, ever you can be accused of a lot of things, but you dont want to ever be accused of arresting somebody for because of their race. Which is an accusation thats made a lot. So i dont know a Police Officer out there that wants to arrest somebody because of color, because its just not what we do. Its just like the chief said we get the call and we respond. I think theres a disproportionate number of people of color in prison. I think the whole core issue goes back again to poverty. I hate to say it, but those who have, have good lawyers and those who dont, dont. I think thats a problem. I think the disparity in sentencing is a problem in this country. And its something that needs to be adjusted. But thats not a Law Enforcement issue. We dont make recommendations on sentencing. Most of the time we hav
Presented to George Washington. This presentation from Smithsonian Associates and the Historical Society of washington dc is about one hour. I do not have any visuals and i can claim that is because i do not know how to do it, but the truth is that i never know how i will say it until i get here. I hope you will forgive me for the lack of visuals. My title is dreams, nightmares and neglect. I will start with earlier than 1783. I will start with the european explorations the early part of , the 17th century, so it is going to be almost a 200year dream, but it will go fast, as i concentrate on what happened once the dream was realized. In 1607, john smith entered the sevenmile wide mouth of the Potomac River and headed north. Whether he got this far north, we are actually not certain, but People Living here, algonquin peoples called the place it as the place where something is brought, a training place, a place to which tribute is brought. It was a beautiful area in which the tidewater f
