Our friends at csis for the outstanding job they did in preparing the home field. Our first panel was an excellent discussion of high policy, and we had two outstanding presenters and one outstanding moderator.

So thats the thing that we have to pay very close attention to. So of all the measure, the mild measures that china may undertake against taiwan, i think the harbinger of communication between the two are the most important one. Even more

To the matts thing, theres a way to land a man on the sun, and thats you go at night. I feel that is what we are being asked to do, to land on the sun at night. The thing that you are talking about with corporate access, is in fact the easy part of the problem. And there are present solutions to that.

And i shut down an email system because we were a provider that was usi
