Ladies and gentlemen, landseer of the Potomac Institute and it is my privilege to welcome you here today with the seminar on combating biological terrorism. I am proud to report for now almost exactly 20 years the Potomac Institute has been involved in the study of this issue of bio terrorism has only grown worse over time and is more threatening and more imminent and certainly those tools for dealing with this is inadequate today is 20 years ago the most political people are distracted from the threats which ships running over each other the pacific that the threats are more as long wolf driving cars to open spaces in your opinion United States and they forget the potential of a lone wolf with the biological realm is still quite possible in some would say likely in the future. The newsletter for eating less and terrorizing as the we are here to take a moment to see if we cannot refocus on the issue of biological terrorism. The works that summarized a lot of activities over the last 20
Last year in 2016 in the same journal. Both of these penetrating articles [ laughter ] sorry, deal with george kennen, soviet russia and the cold war. Now we all know that kennens longtelegraphed, which was sent in february 1946 from moscow to washington and his socalled e articex article embodied the very core of u. S. Containment policy to the cold war. These are the documents that frank focuses on and extrapolates from. But his articles are important, both substantively and method logically. First of all, he reexamines kennens motives and thinking. And in so doing he makes a major methodological contribution. He injects emotion as a major factor to think about when we imagine the formation of policy in the early cold war. Rather than the rational realist, frank portrays kennen in all of his humanity, rational . Yes. But also insecure. Anxious, frustrated. Fearful and fearful of seeming fearful. He urges us, frank urges us to ponder the interception of emotion and reason, the interse

However, momentum does seem to be building behindmost of the president s proposals. Wall street journal saying the Senate Democrats include a bill limiting magazine clips and universal background checks despite continuing opposition of the nra. Its a fraud to call it universal. It is never going to be universal. The criminals arent going to comply with it. They could care less. And factor this one in. An ad by mayors against illegal guns ran during the super bowl. It pointed out that the nra once supported closing the socalled gun show loophole. The nra once supported background checks. We think its reasonable to provide mandatory instant criminal background checks for every sale at every gun show. No loopholes anywhere for anyone. Let me bring in our political panel. Radio talk show host and ms nns contributor michael smerkonish, mar gi o may ra and republican strategist hogan gitley. I should point out the president already arrived in minneapolis.

Mayor Dianne Feinstein has been a mayor. Shes been in a shootin
