If i could have your attention,e program on Manufacturing Society in the 21st century here at the institute. I welcome you on behalf of the institute both in the audience and those viewing remotely. I wanted to ask our president , walter isaacson, just to say a few words. Its always dangerous when your boss knows as much or more about the subject matter. That is definitely not true and that is why it is a pleasure to have tom here at the Aspen Institute because the one thing we do know about the issue of manufacturing is how important it is to americas economy and how ridiculous it is to try to think of a great economy that doesnt always have a healthy Manufacturing Sector. And so, when we were looking at the Aspen Institute and all the things we do in terms of the creation of jobs and the economy, we felt there was a huge gap because people kind of understood the reduction of manufacturing jobs in america that was happening, but nobody was as focused as they should be even though they
Will. We learned that when others are are around, we learn we wait for others to take responsibility. Scientists have attributed major explanations to the bystander affect.

Well, first of all, thank you for having me here on this show, and thank you also to cspan for the great Public Service work that you do and have done for decades. Issues before the fcc, we have a lot of them. Issues are diverse because in many ways the fcc oversees the digital economy, the information economy which by some measures accounts for as much as onesixth of the economy itself.

The ability to resuscitator rehabilitate i always give the president the benefit of the doubt. The president deserves his team. General David Petraeus is a good choice. Got remember something about the army or the service. The Foreign Service like many of you, the war is not general David Petraeuss war, it is the president s war and the military, all the people who work in the government follow the policy of the elected civilian government.

Nevertheless i am not the president. On the face of that they deserve their commanders. General David Petraeus is qualified. We will take yours and be real quick. I hope this is not too philosop
