[ applause ] good afternoon. Financial Regulatory Reform, thats certainly the most common phrase being mentioned in this town. And with the help of my panelists were going to attempt to discover and analyze what that really means and what can be expected in the months to come in terms of Regulatory Reform. Here in the u. S. But importantly, what that means also in regards to the global regulatory frame work and interaction of u. S. Regulators and firms with those of the rest of the world. One common theme that we have heard consistently from both the Regulatory Community and the industry has been that a goal to support qualities which foster Economic Growth and Capital Formation but at the same time ensuring that safety and soundness is good. So Regulatory Reform gets mentioned and im going to quote in the last couple of days and most of them this mornings, comments that have been made by the Regulatory Community on this topic. Ill start probably with Governor Carney here on this stage
Global Affairs Global Government Affairs at policy at ge. Laura fraedrich, partner at jones day and warren maruyama, so please welcome them to the stage. Well, we saved the most timely topics for last and thank you for joining. One of the reasons this is particularly interesting is because President Trumps views have been developed over the 30 years so when you look at his public statements from trade in the late 80s, he uses language strikingly similar to today. In light of who hes picked to go into the administration, karan, how do you understand the president s objectives . First of all, kristen, i would say theyre evolving. What we saw coming out of certainly the campaign, coming out of the early days of the transition was a very strident, i think a lot of people used the term protectionist tone.

District of south carolina, a beautiful district in the northcentral part of the state but also had been a part of the Freedom Caucus and incredibly well connected and a part of house leadership and administration which needs and a bit short of great congressional leadership and guidance. Of course im talking about director of the office of management and budget, mick mulvaney. If you could come out and be interviewed by kristen silverberg, my colleague. [applause] im wondering what socks i wore today. They look good, they look good. Colorful. [laughing] well, thank you for being you. You pin point 1000 miles an hour since yo he took office so were incredibly grateful you are here. I wanted to start and just ask you come he been in washington for about a decade, sort of these fights before. But you switched hats. Whats the Biggest Surprise about going from congress to your current position . We worked a lot more. 16 hour days at the white house is not at all unusual. Sometimes i joke w
That is important that they forget numbers. Do you want to focus on that issue or how you see it Going Forward . Mac thornberry i agree, i think his focus on building the military is exactly right as was the piece you wrote that chris mentioned. Numbers do matter. Part of the reason we are challenged right now is we dont have enough aircraft i will just continue with that example. We are all flying more and more hours, and that is part of the cycle of how hard it is to get things ready if you dont have enough, and what you have got, you are flying the wings off of. What else is true, i was recently in the asiapacific region, you can have more capable ships we had this debate all the time with the Obama Administration.
