Okay, so good afternoon. My name is reid smith and on behalf of the Charles Koch Institute id like to thank you for joining us today or what promises to be a substantive and timely discussion about the applicability or lack thereof of existing legal authorities to use of force against iran.

I think it reflects fundamentally unprecedented nature of the criminal charges here. Cnns evan perez joins us now. Evan, you were inside of that
