Other countries in the region are not spending massive amounts on defense. Although, australia and japan have committed to increase spending, particularly on maritime capability. Generally, were seeing a reduction in the resources of the u. S. And its potential Coalition Partners and an increase overall. So the task of managing this challenge and monitoring it is becoming greater. Then as i said, were seeing gaps in capability. Notwithstanding the u. S. Rebalance, there are limits to resources in terms of humanitarian assistance, in terms of amphibious capability, in terms of assets, undersea assets. The u. S. Attack submarine fleet actually around the mid 2020s will start to get smaller, not larger, for example. And gaps in cyber, Missile Defense and Maritime Security more broadly. For that reason, i really chose to focus my paper on Maritime Security and how we can take the framework of federated defense and start to actualize it in terms of real capability. In the region.

Henry thats barbershop talk. Michael when you were arrested at cambridge, did you know immediately when he answered that question this was going to be a big deal .

At that point, all i wanted was for heres what happened. We were making finding your roots, and my girlfriend and i flew out to l. A. On a friday. An
At the start, i like it. But so many things are happening. I could still change my vote. Asians, latinos and africanamericans are not monolithic. Theres varying degrees within the communities. Reporter a report by the times says more hispanics in the u. S. As legal immigrants are seeking citizenship from november. Applications could approach 1 million this year. Thats 200,000 more than the average in recent years. The Hispanic Community has not voted in the numbers they could based on their numbers in the country. I think for a lot of people who have been working within the grassroots of these communities, this is great. People are getting engaged. Unfortunately, theyre being engaged by something so negative, but the point is theres an engagement level thats occurring. Im jessica formoso, fox 5 news. Ernie thank you very much. Louis miranda of a Strategic Consulting group. Thank you for being here. Youve been working with the latino community, africanamerican community, so many minorit
Do you and arnie duncan sort of sit down and talk about how you interact and how to change what education means and what continuing education means in the labor front . I would ask the president of conversation. What the president understands, and i think the biggest adjustment we have to do is there are multiple pathways to the prosperity and apprenticeship is one of them.

But it does is end and that the collaboration between the two agencies. One more quick example weve done a lot of collaboration and redesign in high school for the career Technical Education so the sixyear High School Model that some of you in the audience and twitter may have seen is a remarkable example of how to create pathways to the middle class. At the end of which youve gotten a Frame Associates degree. I went to the academy in chicago and that school is
