Than we hoped to get you in this role, were glad to have you at the helm. We look forward to helping you get a full complement of folks there at the Budget Department as well. The budget approach takes a different approach this year than weve seen in the past. This is portion of the department that falls outside the scope of our committee here. The administration has also requested robust fund frg the cleanup of Nuclear Waste left behind by our countrys cold war legacy. The budget request proposes deep cuts to research and development for energy and science. It also proposes to phaseout innovative programs that have had demonstrated success. I understand what drove this proposal, but im also concerned by certain parts of it. The United States is the world leader in science and energy. We like it that way. We want to keep it that way. And at the core of that is the work done at our National Labs and universities by the men and women who dedicate their careers to further science. Members

Public knowledge. Im the director of ipk. I am happy to be here. Andrew and i were talking about the fact that academics spend many years writing good books. And are reluctant to celebrate. We publish our books and then we want to be criticized and even condemned by panels of smart people. Some lively conversation and debate, but a touch of celebration. Which is why there is wine and cheese outside. Participate in the event fully. We like to do a lot of book launches here. The real reason we are here tonight is because for the last several years ipks been doing a lot of programming and research on issues about climate and cities and sustainability. And so, this work, while historical, very much speaks to the most contemporary and emergent problems of our time. Were excited about the conversation tonight. So, to get things rolling, we have a journalist visiting at nyu, but also someone who has done a lot of work on environmental issues, contributed to npr and the atlantic. She will mode
