[indiscernible conversation] good morning and welcome. I would like to thank our witnesses for their testimony and staff for preparing todays hearing, and thank you to the commissioner, it is an honor to cochair with you today. While this Commission Deals with a variety of issues in the u. S. China relationship, todays hearing focuses on a topic that has rightfully emerged at the forefront of the policy debate in both chambers of congress in recent months, technology. While much remains uncertain about the 20 20s and 20 30s, recent events have made it unmistakably clear that technology will be the indispensable precondition for american prosperity, security, and National Sovereignty in the years ahead. President eisenhower once observed there is only one thing i can tell you about war, and it is this, no war ever shows the characteristics that were expected. It is always different.

The conversation was very polite; the dinner was, apparently, impeccable. Relationship, of course, as between people who understand each other well, and therefore the conversations, both in the expanded format and in the narrow one, were very deep.
