Mr. Garza, welcome back to the program. Always a pleasure to be on c span, talk about the important issues that are impacting every american today. Remind people about the initiative, who you target, and particularly your political point of view. Sure. We are nonpartisan and nonprofit. What we do basically is engage, activate, mobilize the Latino Community around those issues that we feel uphold and honor the freedoms enshrined in our founding charters. And to be a little bit more detailed, we believe that we have centralized way too much power, way too much money, and too much control in the hands of politicians, specifically the federal government but also State Governments, so we work to make sure that we honor the expressions and sentiments of Abraham Lincoln that this is of the people, by the people and for the people. We have two unleash really the prosperity that we can have in the private sector. When it comes then to taking a look at the United States, give us a snapshot of th
Language their people spoke long, their familys been in the United States can achieve and lord given all the challenges in the country given the interference government in the daily lives americans. This is a resoundingly good story to tell so is a great pleasure for all of us at heritage to have mr. Hamm hear from this speaking about this other southerner is just a pleasure to welcome this rural oklahoman. Harold went work in the oil fields as a teenager and then established continental resources. At the age of 21, he built a grassroots start up into a top ten oil producer and the privately held oil company in United States as a voice for americas oil and natural gas industry, hes helped to make america independent. He cofounded and serves as executive chairman of the Domestic Energy alliance, and he is widely recognized as the person who led the charge lift americas 40 year ban on u. S. Crude oil exports. Vital of course, not just for the men and women in the energy business, but for

It takes up more room than the actual article itself. Want to introduce the subject of this next session which is this booklet here. Its called transform which is very beautiful and its about an initiative that we were privileged to fund called exploring innovation frontier. I want to give a shout out to promote the head of our engineering director at the time a few years ago when we made the decision to fund this. He has gone on to uc irvine where he is a vice chancellor for research. During this time there have been several workshops around the country and ill say a few words about that and then you will hear from two of the people that were greatly involved in those workshops more about this. Let me make now that ive kind of introduced the subject of basic research, leading to innovation and leading to engineering applications, let me make some formal remarks. I will just begin with the quote from our inspiration of the National Science foundation who believed that there must be a s
Its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk, high reward investment is all about. So if that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome, a lot of people as you might guess came and went. And it involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity for computers so thats new in the first gravitational wave was detected. And what the source was, that was two colliding black holes that were in a postbinary system. The most recent gravitational wave detection to neutron stars emerging. So its, but it was a very long tail. There are many many directors, many and its a Program Officers involved National Science board, they changed over large number of times during that interval and had to improve all the funding and that of Course Congress of course was the ultimate arbiter of appropriations and making the decision to continue an investment but nobody was quite sure what would have a result so how risky is
