Cspan campaign 2014. More than 100 debates for the control of congress. Now a discussion on federal science policy and the use of simulation to address national threats. The chief scientist for the National Nuclear Security Agency and a special adviser to energy techtary. He addresses the university of tennessee Howard Baker Center for publictoba÷ policy in knoxv. This is about an hour. Thank you. That was an overly generous introduction. Thank you, again, taylor. I think the hospitality here at the baker center, the university of tennessee has been remarkable. Its a wonderful place, and im happy to be here. You know, as an academic who ended up in washington for some reason, i wanted to give you my personal take on computational science, what we do and kind of how i view this. I think its an interesting story, i hope youll find it interesting, too, as a beta tester, i guess this can fail and still be successful as part of your learning so we can look at it that way. So i have some fr
A look at some of the political ads running in that state. A few years ago, things in minnesota werent going very well. So we got a new coach. He made the tough decisions. And now, things are looking up. We added over 150,000 new jobs and have one of the Fastest Growing economies in the nation. Cut taxes while increasing our Rainy Day Fund and investing in education. Darn good record, right . Darn good coach. Im jeff johnson. As governor i will audit every state program. Im thorough. All done . I dont think so. Done with your homework . Lets doublecheck that. Did you eat this . Mark dayton should be held accountable for wasting our money. His Luxury Office and bonuses prove that hes out of touch with middle class minnesotans. Its time for a governor who gets it and gets us. Jeff johnson for governor. In a state plagued by specialists, a team of extraordinary candidates has stepped forward to restore minnesotas Government Back to its people. Together, they are the independents. Coming n
Which as my colleagues have said, right now its difficult for industry to have access to air space for the purposes of research and development. We believe the test sites offer them the perfect opportunity to meet those Research Needs here in the u. S. And thats why were working with the test sites to expand the ability for them to attract that kind of research. Again, if faa Research Needs can be met at the test sites, we will certainly look to Fund Projects at those test sites as well. So when you say youre working with the test sites to expand that opportunity can you tell me a little bit more about that . Again, were trying to keep them well informed about what they are able to do under the agreements that they have with the faa we now have individuals actually from the test center who will be traveling to each of the test sites to work with them more closely on what it is that we might be looking for to be able to get Research Data through the test sites. And then the designees we
Internet and if we cant if our regulations cant keep up technology and theres so many of them out there were really going to have a dangerous situation. Is there a sense of urgency . Yes, sir. There is within the faa. As i commented in my opening remarks, our small uas rule has been delayed beyond what any of us think is acceptable but we believed our balanced proposal will be out shortly and well start to get comment and finalize those rules. Thank you very much. I see my time has expired. Mr. Massey. Thank you mr. Chairman. Ms. Gilligan, you mentioned that a rule would be coming out short ly and mr. Hampton youve documented the ways that were kind of behind schedule. I understand that things rarely go according to schedule whether youre in the private sector or the public sector, but when you say a rule is going to be coming out shortly, to quote a colleague, is that in a geological time scale or an Internet Speed . The proposal is under executive review at this point sir, so i reall
Economics. My question really has to do with the relationship between the Gates Foundation and the world they. When i started to think about questions for you, i looked at the world banks budget and i saw a bed with a layout in between 40 billion exceed billion dollars a year on a wide range of topics. So when you entered this field, did you believe, you probably did, but how did you think about approaching a . Would you be catalytic with respect to the world bank . In other words, to do things yourself that they are not doing . For example, the reduction in infant mortality, which is certainly a big success dori really was not underway for a lot of the time the world bank had substantial resources. Was that something that attracted you . Do you think that you can be more flexible than the world bank in terms of moving from one priority to another . How do you match the world they . Thanks. We do a lot with the world bank. I had dinner with john cannon come a long dinner last night bec
