Cyber espionage. The hack of opm is the latest example. Do the chinese steal our Naval Technology and apply it to their navy, and as a corollary to that, are you aware of any evidence concerning china stealing u. S. Civil Nuclear Technology and diverting it to its nuclear navy . Sir, im not personally aware of any instances of another nation stealing our Nuclear Technology and applying to their navy, including china. That may be happening, im not briefed on any intelligence that would implicate that. I think its wellunderstood that there is Cyber Espionage that occurs. We have concerns from time to time about our cleared defense contractors for example in their Cyber Security. I think Frank Kendall and at l is working hard to tighten that up as best we k. I was reflecting on this earlier we talk about Nuclear Matters. As a sort of graduate of the Navy Nuclear Propulsion program. One of the things that has intrigue said me intrigued me over the years, the element of Human Performance th
Its going to predict how it would react under a stress event. And so was the key one of the key issues is what how are investors anticipating this . Is this part of their Investment Strategy . And do prices reflect it, and do practice Risk Management practices reflect that . I think that there are two issues we have to separate as we address the questions you offered. Is there a liquidity crisis . The first is are we in the midst of a transition from one type of market to over.

But what will happen afterwards, the banks will sell their operations to hedge funds to other companies, to the employees themselves and theyll get reorganized to find the capital and make money, because there are opportunities to make money when people demand liquidity, by the way, theres no such thing anywhere of free liqui
Wouldnt a level Playing Field as you said from your testimony, we have concerns about things like there is a some Data Retention obligations and we think you could do it differently. There is a best interest contract framework and weve heard feedback from folks saying it is clunky and there is a more streamlined way to do it. We have a point of sale disclosure requirement and people have said that that is not necessary. And so what weve done in every circumstance when someone said that the best interest contract is clunky, our response is tell us how to do it better. How do we retain that north star of enforceable best interest contract and still get it done and that is the feedback weve been getting and it has been helpful. And youve incorporated it. We havent made final decisions yesterday. We wont put out a rule until weve gotten all of the comments. Im confident if history is a guide the final rule will be materially different than and better than the proposal because you have to b
Can we do this better the biggest thing that i iran into. When i was engaging in the larger thinking community and larger academic trinity is this challenge of getting past iran. That we can ironically to go to understand as well as the idea that iran is irrational. What i consider the mad problem is that iran is too crazy and both of these ideas really handicap us. A train and been able to understand what iran is thinking about and how it looks at the us and formulates its foreign policies. Thats the heart of what i am trying to do in this monogram is take the face off that confusion and say you cant understand this and its what im trying to do. Its not so much provide a whole bunch of policies policy prescription with this administration or for future administrations but basically, provide analytic framework and models, if you will, for understanding how iran develops its foreign policies, how iran develops its approaches in particular to Security Issues and how it goes to war, how i

With that, let me turn the floor over to colonel hoy who will introduce the program. Thank you very much for hosting us today. Good morning to everybody. I will explain a little bit about where we come from and why we are sitting on this table. What led to this. First of all, we are five or six students from the u. S. Army war college.
