Principle is underlying the concept of security must remain the same. For our constitutional protections to continue to be meaningful. One of the things we have struggled with as a congress and that we struggle with as a country as a whole relates to the fact that where we keep our papers and what our papers are has changed especially in the last few years. No longer do our papers consist exclusively of actual paper. What the founding generation wouldve thought of as papers, s often exist int the electronic equivalent. Those are not stored exclusively on hard drives with a finite loaccation. It a lot of times they exist on a cloud somewhere. These pieces of information, these papers, in many instances are something we have or reasonably should have a next rotation of privacy which is reasonable. We have to figure out how to balance these two sometimes conflicting interests associated with security. There are several ways in which this arises. We have talked a little bit today about the
National security, but including, also, the risk to public trust, risk to privacy, risk to economic values and risk to democratic self governance. So, a major task Going Forward, what our report tries to thread a needle on is to try to ensure a full set of rirkss are taken into account and we arent optimizing only along one dimension.

This is a Diverse Group as noted. We reached all of our recommendations, this is a bit of an upset, by agreement. There are no dissents. There was no ho
Again. The campaign numbers, too, if youre the president or a member of his republican party. Two things jump out at us. 21. 5 million. Thats joe bidens wednesday fund raising take. His best day of the year following the first president ial debate. The second thing is a polite but direct message of a top senate republican, condemn White Supremacy, mr. President. I think we should hear them from the president and from every american. I certainly condemn what we have been seeing in terms of White Supremacy, racism, antisemitism. I stand with senator mcconnell and senator tim scott with the comments they have made. Senator John Barrasso is not alone among republicans urging the president. That is very significant because, remember, republicans usually stay silent or shrug off the president s comments. They fear it will hurt republicans beneath the president on the ballot and every day trump refuses to do so, democrats take a shot. Speaking of violence, the proud boys, the president s frie

All hour, were going to pull back the layers here and look at how this pandemic is being affected here in south dakota and across the region and across the country.

Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Mary Schapiro express important that the action on a stock frank. Chairman schapiro said the libel make markets more transparent, stable and efficient. From George Washington University Law school, and this is 45 minutes. Good morning. I am paul berman, 19 of the law school as art said and i want to welcome you to this conference and obviously welcome Mary Schapiro, chairman of the securities and Exchange Commission. So one of the things that i think makes this law school, the George Washington University Law school distinctive and different from other top law schools is the degree to which we are integrated into the real world of law and policy practice in this country. So one of the things we are always striving to do this not be an ivory tower Academic Institution solely, but also one that is always trying to engage the practicing bar, people from corporations, people who are not lawyers in the educational enterprise and also when Public P
