And i know that theres a lot of excitement as there ought be for this evenings conversations so thank you for taking time to be here. Were so delighted to have professor margaret macmillen with us today. Thank you for traveling to be a part of this important conversation, and who else to help us with that is better equipped than margaret macmillen and a professor of history at oxford, at the university of toronto. Serves in many varied roles. A trustee of the university and more recently at the Imperial War Museum. Might i offer that we are second only here at the National World war i museum and memorial to the Imperial War Museum in terms of history. They began collecting in 1917 and we began collecting in 1920. And were further delighted that theyre having their world war ii galleries reinstalled by the gallery designers of the National World war i museum and memorial. So theyre very wise i might say. Shes written many publications and books. I dont want to list those. One of which i
A discussion of military and civilian National Service programs, from the Brookings Institution, this is just over an hour. 30 seconds. 30 seconds was particularly effective. It is my happy duty to introduce and moderate the second panel. I will begin by introducing myself briefly. I am bill gault, senior fellow in the government studies program at brookings, delighted to be a small cog in the Service Share alliance.

Let me introduce the question this way. If National Service is the answer, what is the question . And we have heard and i think will hear three very different kinds of answers to that question. It is useful to keep them secret. The first test to do with service as an avenu
But i think the u. S. Can play a role of facilitating as marc knapper said, facilitating some sort of conversation that helps move this forward and i think that kind of technical conversation im talking about would be something reason for that he was to participate in and could help the dynamic. As you said at the end of the korea and japan had to figure out how to manage this if not resolved it. And they do agree that theres a much bigger set at stake here but im not quite as pessimistic as jim just because i think these things have come and gone. The deep issues are there but i think we have been able in most of the time of recent history or the koreans and japanese have to find a way to work on the things they need to work on and put other things in other compartments. Thats come and gone obviously, but i still am hopeful that theres a way, even if you cant resolve some of the deeper issues, to find a way to Work Together on a shared interest because there are some compelling ones.
Appropriations committee will please come to order. We are here today to discuss the u. S. China relationship and the investments that we need to keep our nations secure, competitive, strong, and maintain our leadership on the world stage. Let me make clear, from the outset, when we talk about competing against china, and countering chinese influence, we are talking about competing against its government, not the Chinese People or the millions of Chinese Americans who helped make our country great. I am great secretary austin, blinken, and raimondo here to discuss the all of government approach that we need to meet this challenge. This is our first full committee hearing, i do want to thank a vice chair collins, as well as our chairs and Ranking Members testers, coons, shaheen, tester, and moran. For working on us with this topic and others that every member cares about. I want to thank all of my colleagues with their work in the recent weeks to jumpstart the appropriation process. And
