[applause] good morning and welcome to the center for American Progress. My name is carla martin. Im the the Vice President for policy. It is my honor to welcome to this exciting event. Our lineup today is a real testament to the importance of this issue to this administration and to president obama. Nearly one in three americans has some type of criminal record that creates barriers to employment, housing and many other pathways to opportunity. Some americans with criminal records are even barred from casting a ballot which denies the right to participate in our democracy after they have paid their debt to our society. The impact of these barriers goes beyond those previous convicted of a crime. Criminal records are a family sentence.

Good morning, everybody. So we will shift gears now building on the remarks from representative pose and representative crowly. We want to do three things.

Woel we will go down the row and have time for dialogue between the panel and questions and a

And im wondering if you could comment and perhaps its better now, and what impact this has on the current sense of trust among Public Officials regarding their sure. So i would say the failures are just as bad or worse in terms of government contracting, i. T. , healthcare. Gov and the electronic records archive, expensive yearlong projects that largely failed, with healthcare. Gov until it was rescued, big, massive failures. Whats changing is there are a number of people that have identified tractable, fixable problems with the contracting and the i. T. Contracting system, and so if you look at the u. S. Digital service or at 18f, these are new governmentled groups of people that are trying to change the way the government buys technology and to change the way the government builds technology
