Foreign banks whose business supports the north korean regime. Whether directly or indirectly. By encompassing both the Economic Activity in north korea, these measures would represent the toughest financial sanctions yet directed at north korea. This means going after coal, petroleum, textiles and minerals as well as north korean laborers abroad. In addition, the bill would incentivize greater by leveraging our vote at the International Financial institutions were certain countries with lax enforcement go to seek assistance. This bill puts those countries on notice. This proposed legislation has been informed by the committees ongoing work on north korea, as well as the un panel of experts evaluation of existing sanctions effectiveness. Needless to say, north koreas sixth nuclear test on september 3, coupled with its repeated launching of intermediate and longrange Ballistic Missiles underlines that more must be done. As a result, the legislative draft will be looking at plays out a c
When the government turns on you and you are defenseless. They can pretty much but there government behind them self to crush you in many ways. I had a gentleman visit with me and he refused to give the Bush Administration the names of all of the clients after nine 11. He said i cant do it, so they came up with some backdated options and put them in jail. They spent 30 million defending himself. If you read it it is quite amazing to see what went on. This is the hysterical kneejerk reaction after 9 11. Its a a horrible thing of course, but why. But then on my side of the coin were talking i said yeah, gave Osama Bin Laden support, he had a 14,000,000 dollar Million Dollar count. He lived in cambridge, massachusetts. No connection. But granted you think theres a connection he might want to go down that path, but they had no interest in doing that. Then i told them when i gave the account of the middle east and geneva they set out thats in enough account. We had 7,000,000,000 dollars. We
Director of the hayden planetarium, place we all went to as a kid and i was never the same after that. I came back and actually became director. We also want to welcome cspan into this event. They are recording it for book tv. Cspan inhouse. Pan is [applause] tonights book is called welcome to the universe. I love saying that, welcome to the universe. When you go to the planetarium director school, they teach you how to speak like that. Let me immediately introduce my coauthors. First, michael strauss. [applause] these are my two coauthors. [applause] have a seat so just a bit of an introduction, i talked fori t ten years at Princeton University from 1994 through 2003, and before i transferred all of my activities here to this museum, over that time, i taught a course on introductory astrophysics and i got very popular and people liked it and we moved to vickers pace and we realized we could charge, we could energize the course even more by adding other talent that has particular exper
Frameworks over time to help us address the issue of escalation in the more kinetic traditional role, cyber is in a different arena. Do you think you addressed sufficiently and for instance this event, are there others that give you concern that it leads us down a dangerous path, that everybodys looking for ways to deter, weve seen dangers, these attacks can cause, but you do want to raise the cost but you want to see the followon sort of cycle, are you comfortable we have a handle on how to deter americas adversaries from cyberattacks without creating a further problem . I think clearly the concepts of deterrence in the cyber domain are relatively immature. I dont think we are where we need to be, where we collectively need to be. This is still the early stages of cyber in many ways. So were going to have to work our way through this. Its one of the reasons why quite frankly im interested in forums like this because im interested in a broad set of perspectives, many of which are going
We will have to work our way through it. That is why, quite frankly, i am interested in forums. A broad set of perspectives. Which will be different from what i bring to the table. I am interested in how we collectively, as a nation come to grips with this. We see what is happening with the world around us. The threats we are facing when it comes to cyber continue to grow. Jim sciutto you have iran where there is history. Russia is a source of attacks in the private and government sector. I spent years in china dealing with this or you have enormous costs to the business community. Tens of billions of dollars. And they have had success in stealing secrets. People are talking about a coming cyber war. When i look at that as an observer and reporter, and looks like we are already at a lowlevel war. These are attacks with throw consequences and capabilities. Admiral rogers history to date has shown us that you can name any crisis. Any confrontation over the last several years, and there i
