And their methods for educating and offering information to the public. This is an hour and a half. All right. Well, we can begin the session. Welcome to all of you who have weathered the snow and ice to be here this afternoon. Welcome to this panel, history and Public Policy centers sponsored by the National History center. Im nick mueller, president and ceo emeritus of the World War Ii Museum in new orleans and before that enjoyed a 32year career at the university of new orleans and i will say more about that after the panelists are introduced.

And we then, the work their centers are doing in the course of their remarks. So i am going to introduce briefly each of the panelists, and perhaps you can raise your hand a
Issues. Ill ask you to complain after i go through my ill let you explain. At least understand these are complicated questions.

I think when the president elect made a comment on the u. S. Currency it wasnt meant to be a longterm comment. It was meant to be that perhaps in the shortterm the strength in the currency as result of free markets and people wanting to invest here may have had some negative impacts.
