I have learned already in this office that the typical decisions always come to this desk. I must admit that many of them do not look at all the same as the hypothetical questions that i have answered freely and, perhaps, too fast on previous occasions. My customary policy is to try and get all of the facts and to consider the opinions of my countrymen and to take counsel with my most valued friends, but these seldom agree, and in the end, the decision is mine. To procrastinate, to agonize, and to wait for a more favorable turn of events that may never come, or more compelling external pressures that may as well be wrong as right. It is itself a decision of sorts and a weak and potentially dangerous course for a president to follow. I have promised to uphold the constitution, to do what is right. Course for a president to follow. I have promised to uphold the constitution, to do what is see the god gives me to right, and to do the very best that i can for america. And yourked your help
Should do to be on firmer legal ground and pointed to title ii. And, now, weve had fast forward, weve had discussions at the committee about it. This is all about Net Neutrality, obviously. People in our country feel very, very strongly about the internet, in not only how they e it, but how they think about it and the access to it and that it be free and that it be open and that no one, no isp or anyone should be able to interfere with that. Now, there have been a lot of problems, obviously, with court cases, lawsuits, and i think a lot of time, valuable time has been eaten up by that. So now were at a juncture. We know that close to one and a half Million People have commented to the fcc. Its, i think, the single largest response of the American People to any federal agency in the history of our country. Thats really saying something. So ive examined title ii. Now, one of the charges against title ii is that it is the oldfashioned way to regulate. In other words, its a heavy hand. And

You probably all know that the government was quite hesitant to send its Ground Troops to occupy gaza because the defense capacity was talking about the fact that we did get into gaza with quite quite an extensive military composition was because of the tunnel. So we had the decision of the government. Remember, something hamas is looking for, this is one of their goals to change or to impact or to influence the decisionmaking of the government. We also had to impact the israelis as a whole. At first at least it was to be a big strategic surprise, even though the idf knew about the tunnel, it was not in the public discourse. Apparently was not high on the agenda of ideas because our way of handling the tunnels once we got there was not very quick. And the casualties were quite high. So it was a major obstacle or major issue, major challenge for us and they didnt have any proposal on the psychology of it. Focus on the south of course. They had a major impact but also in israel in genera

On that board the board of on that date the board of consultant activities submitted work to president eisenhower on the status of the Intelligence Communitys collection capabilities. And at the strong urging from dr. Lamb, they called for a reassessment of the satellite reconnaissance system put into development by the air force. This was a complicated system based on electrical transmission of images from space. At the same time the 12 oxcart Reconnaissance Aircraft was given a careful evaluation. The board held that while both were promising programs, the critical need for intelligence at that point in time warranted an interim photo re
