If you have a question for them, and what i will do, i will take up the most objectionable ones [laughs] well proceed from there. But, so if youve got a question, write it down, and we will ask our wonderful speakers today. Weve also at the break we are going to bring in my staff and were going to have a chance acknowledge them. Our Panel Discussion is after lunch at 1 00. So, thatll be the end of our day. I really like our speakers presentation title today. Mission impossible rethinking george b. Mcclellan. After what weve heard so far in this conference, i think it is even more impossibler.

[applause] hello, and thank you. You mentioned my odyssey. My wife and i moved to myrtle beach, South Carolina, five days ago. [laughter] and if you think it is bad when the Airlines Lose your luggage, anyway, we werent able to move into the house we are buying so we are living out of boxes and crates and things. I drove up here. It sounds strange to say i drove up from South Carolina. Im used to driving down there. This is i have been looking forward to this for several reasons. One is when the theme of the symposium is generals you love to hate, i dont have to worry about what peoples expectations are. Well, because i am a big fan of John Bell Hood, even though i am not as closely related as the name implies. You are probably wondering. I am a collateral

C. , i suppose the obligatory question has to be, well start this time with you, michael, what can the government do to help or, on the other hand hinder your industry and filling out its role in the future of television and feel free to lay out any concerns you have ab
Fallen state talking about his child with the wife of uriah, the lamenting and anguish as he implored the lord to fix things that humans can mess up. Well, the lord didnt immediately answer the prayer of life for that child and after seven days that child died but david arose and went forth he sat down for bread and he praised god and he led his people into the greatest times of blessing and rejoicing that that family had ever seen.
