Ussr to rush at the beginning. No one knows. There is a lot of love and hate. Cubans have one of the highest awareness is of u. S. Brands in the world and one of the highest preferences in the world so if u. S. Companies launching into cuba comes with less cost than some other marketplace that makes it attractive so and thats because the folks do have, the people of cuba many of them have access. We saw what no one expected with fidel. Most people, most of the modeling done in the u. S. Government was fidels speaking, he drops dead worries in his office and people drop dead and people know where they dont know but no one expected a succession and then a transition from brother to brother. I would say dont expect raul dies and its a switch. Its going to be more of a wave. Thank you. Bill lane. Good morning. Bill lane with caterpillar and first of all i want to thank you for a Great Program and great timing particularly the fact that this is two days away from the big anniversary. Some o
Good morning, everyone. My name is nirra tanden president and ceo of the center for american progress, and im really honored to be joined by our esteemed Commission Members for the new report from the Inclusive Commission a commission convened over a year and a half ago. Im very honored to be joined by our cochairs, dr. Larry summers, former treasury secretary, and ed ball shadow chancellor of the exchequer for the u. K. We convened this commission because we at cap are very focused on the challenges the middle class is facing in the United States, challenges of stagnating wages rising costs. What we recognize these were not just trends that the American Public is facing. Its really Global Trends are faking us and we can learn from other countries. So that is why weve undertaken this effort. I hope everyone has gotten our report, a very big report. And im going to now turn it over to larry and ed, and then i will ask questions of our Commission Members to get their thoughts, and then r
The idea was to similar late a cyber attack at the National Security council or cabinet level and see how the United States would react. Stuart baker who was always selling his book skating on stilts, which is a great book if you havent read it, who was playing the white house cyber czar started pounding on the table saying if the attorney general doesn have the authorities, should go and find the authorities four yearings late later, im not sure that weve gone and found the securities. But something has finally changed. The president pushing new proposals seems that maybe we turned the corner and were going to see changes when it comes to Cyber Security. I know in trying to move it it took a cyber attack on a show to get things to start changing. Youve surely read and learned from hr art kal. She knows more on cyber issues than 95 of the policymakers in washington. Its probably 96 . With that, let moe turn it over to ellen. Thank you very much, blaze. And thanks to the Bipartisan Poli

So i think that tension needs to be resolved one way with the other, and i think it needs to be resolved around a more Foreign Policy guidance. The way it works now, lets change, since my day, is we used to sit down with people from the state department usually the deputy secretary, once or twice here and say whats on your mind, what you think of the important countries we should be concentrating on . I hope that when i was undersecretary there was more conversation, but theres no real guidance. And i think that there needs to be. The second thing there needs to be absolutely is a we organization of the bbg. The bbg has now have agency. Theres no ceo eric one of the strangest organizations in all of the federal government. The board itself is the head of agency, and the chair really has no more power than any of the other governors. Its kind of a zion to run the show. And by the way, im not sure, as the chair, the new chair nominated. Nominate, thats all. This is the way that administr
