>> that i could -- if finish has questions first, you could search cromo-s, and you'd be able to find this stuff because it's open. but i'll be happy to take some questions if we have time. and then if we go to the next slide and i'm going to go through these real quick to let you look at them. sound boosting, process elimination. the idea of not trusting what's going on in your machine and trying to, frankly, what we're trying to do with the machines
7:01 am
is take a little bit of the ability to isolate privileges away from the user. someone asked well, isn't this just like having mainframes and having we gone full circle than what we were a decade ago. i would say not necessarily. one of the differences you have a lot more information about what's going at that local device. whatever it is. and you also have the ability for that device, if you lose your connectivity to do things on its own. we're doing a lot of flash and so the internet is not the same. you don't always have connectivity and so the ability for you to have smarts there locally is important so i wouldn't call it necessarily a dumb terminal as much as a restrained genius if you will. 'cause the network knows what it's doing. next slide. this is just some stuff on verified boot. go to the next slight. i'm sorry. two images and if something goes wrong with the binary or changes
7:02 am
and we're doing things with the firmware to make sure that is bubbled up to the user. first off things are being rendered in a sand box if it escapes from that we want the whole machine to go off. first off go to the secondary, if that doesn't work, we want the shutdown. we think it's better for you to know something is going on with the adversary going on there than to reboot and do it for a verified reboot than to keep going forward. and so, you know, on the security side, this is just an example of a lot what we're doing on google on this cloud. next slide. okay. and again, the bigger thing with cloud it should just work. so we're trying to make it work easier for you. next slide. okay. back to open. i'm just finishing up here. i think one of the biggest things about cloud is to look at how you could push forward with some of the tough challenges that you have and a way to be open within the community. how are you training the way
7:03 am
that you fight? how -- are you turning enough cycles with machines? learning from what happens in the real world with tests and again, what's been accomplished already in missile defense is astounding. any science that's sufficiently advanced is indistinguishable from magic. there's three great laws you should check them out but that's going on but how are you actually using the resources that are there? i know one of the barriers is security. concern about how much can we go into the network? so that's a tough problem. that i think is job 1 but there's a lot of advancements going on. and i would take a look at what the private sector is doing. not that we've got everything right or foolproof but we do have intense motivation to try to help solve this problem and we're working on it every day. a quick note again, vince surf, one of the true fathers of the internet is a googler. but he's also a national resource. he's in our office. he's also in dc a lot. he would beat me about head and
7:04 am
shoulders if i didn't underscore ipv6 and how important that is for the transition. and i know there's a lot of ipv4 resources that are available to the government but one of the key points is about innovation. if we don't make that transition now and really push forward and figure out how can we kick the tires ourselves on u.s. systems and to really tap into the security benefits, the ability to do device to device, all kinds of things that we're missing an opportunity and we might be surprised. so ipv6 is really critical and finally the future stem education. we're doing a lot on that but for stem we're just not teaching kids enough. there's a local middle school for math and science at howard university. google is involved with stem education across the country. but that place that's got kids from -- you know, they're eighth graders there. sixth through eighth grade. and 300 kids. they have computers in every classroom. but here's what's important.
7:05 am
they're not just consumers. in other words, they're not just looking up something on a computer. it's not good enough. they're actually learning how to do computational thinking so they're learning how to code. they're looking about how to think about those processes. they're using apps. they had robots there and flying robots there with a smart phone. it was amazing. there was a kid who was 5 years old. he was there with his brother. and he was flying robots around the room. even if kids aren't going into this we have to really push forward on math and science and we are, unfortunately, falling behind on that. stem education is a very critical piece of this because this is where you get the future innovators. the future folks who can figure out problems and hopefully, you know, they'll want to come to missile defense energy and join in and roll up their sleeves and figure out how to push even further beyond, you know,
7:06 am
shooting the bullet down with another bullet. what was it 150 miles up. 170 miles per hour something the size of an ice cream truck and you're trying to hit the engine. that's amazing. but we got to do better so the question is how can you leverage cloud? how can you have this culture in place that allows people to push forward to come up with those new ideas and to actually go out there and win. a lot of it we'll never know about. the point is you've together set that culture in place. you've got to focus on people. and you've together realize that we should not be the folks who gets surprised. thank you. [applause] >> you're not going to believe this but you've answered the questions i've got. how can it be more secure. information security effort that we're making, is google making it secured from hackers and how
7:07 am
do you say it's not like assessing the mainframe. unless you have a different question, harry has answered them all so thank you very much, sir. [applause] him >> ellen is the undersecretary of state for arms control. her remarks covered the obama administration's missile defense policy and how the issue affects the diplomatic relationship with russia. this is about 20 minutes. >> our next speaker is no novice in dealing with the area of missile defense. in fact, she has some of the greatest insights i've seen both the political, the operational insights, the international insights and the technical -- the programmic. i think she has a very clear
7:08 am
vision of the challenges we face and the opportunities that missile defense provides us. undersecretary of state ms. ellen tauscher is the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security. it is my pleasure to introduce you to her this afternoon. she serves as a senior advisor to the president, the secretary of state for arms control, nonproliferation and disarmament. prior to her current appointment, ms. tauscher chaired the house arms services subcommittee on strategic forces where she was an ardent supporter of missile defense. ladies and gentlemen, please help me welcome the undersecretary of state for arms control and international security, undersecretary ellen tauscher. [applause] >> good afternoon.
7:09 am
it's great to be back. general o'reilly, let me thank you personally for inviting me again today. i've been working with pat for many years now. pat is a great patriot and his work has made a real difference to our country and to the missile defense agency. speaking for all my colleagues in government, pat, i want to tell you how much we appreciate your advice and your very, very hard work. i also want to thank you for your patriotism and for making our country safer and more secure. i've spoken at this conference for several years now. when i was in politics, as a member of congress from the california's tenth congressional district, i was a member of the house arms services committee for 14 years. when the democrats took the majority in november of 2006, i became chairman of the house arms services strategic forces subcommittee, and then i left
7:10 am
after the election in 2008 to go into the department of state. i guess you could say this is one of those cases of no good deed goes unpunished. when i was in the congress i represented, as i said, the tenth congressional district. the only congressional district in the country that is the home of on two national labs and so it was important for me to launch myself like velcro girl on the arms services committee. and it was a really great perch to represent not only my constituents but to learn more about these very, very important issues. this conference is important because it gives all of us who were involved in developing and implementing our missile defense plans a chance to reflect on what we have accomplished and to take a fresh look at the challenges going forward. nearly two years ago, the obama administration undertook a series of reviews to update and upgrade our defense plans. we conducted the alphabet soup
7:11 am
of reviews. the npr, the nuclear posture review. the bmdr, ballistic missile defense review. the spr, space policy review. and the qdr, the quadrennial defense review. the state department for the first time embarked on its own state characterize on the ddr, the quau drennel dren diplomacy review. one of the reasons that i accepted this job is that i wanted to support the obama administration's efforts to get our defense policies right. in the ballistic missile defense review we set forth a new approach to missile defense that i've been working on as a member of congress. then as now, i want our missile defenses to be both operationally effective and cost-effective. president obama added a third component that i also agree with.
7:12 am
they must be able to adapt to new threats. i know that there's been a lot of partisan debate over our approach. but as a former politician i know as well as anyone policy details often get lost in the media coverage of political debates. it's much easier for the media to write about the politics of an issue rather than the details of policy. that's what happened at the end of last year during the debate that included missile defense over the new s.t.a.r.t. treaty. missile defense became a political football. opponents of the treaty raised all kinds of red herrings. and they created all these scenarios and they were imaginative as they were anyways as secretary clinton said in munich last month, we have made it absolutely clear we have not accept any constraints or missile defenses. the united states government will do what is necessary to protect america, our forces, our
7:13 am
allies, and friends from attacks from countries outside of europe. not only has secretary clinton made the point, so has secretary gates, admiral mullen, general o'reilly, vice president biden and president obama. and i have said it before and i'm going to say it again, we will continue to develop and deploy effective missile defenses and to develop a budget even in these difficult times to implement our missile defense strategy. now, let me turn to europe and russia since our plans for a european missile defense architecture have gotten so much attention there. the united states has no more important security relationship than we do with our nato allies in europe. that relationship continues to grow. when i first started working on missile defense issues around 1997, our nato and european allies were very skeptical, to say the least. but there's been a huge change
7:14 am
in europe's attitude. and particularly nato's attitude toward missile defense. i've been impressed with my counterparts and the discussions with them in my european and nato meetings by how much and how quickly they have embraced territorial mission defense as a mission there are more key components to our approach that we are applying to our missile defense architecture in europe. we want to protect all of europe, not just some of europe. we want our european allies and friends to buy into the european phased approach and it's not something we want to impose on them. that's not just what friends do. finally, we have discussed potential missiles defense action between united states and russia and nato and russia. we want russia in the missile defense tent rather than outside the tent. last year in november, in lisbon, allied leaders endorsed
7:15 am
president obama's european-phased adopted approach the defining future of this plan is that it makes our nato allies true partners. the plan gives our nato allies a stake in our collective activity. europe is no longer just a place for us to stage a defense system. i know that those who are speaking after that will go into that detail much more. he'll also tell you as our nato ambassador to -- you are u.s. ambassador to nato you can find him on twitter and i can assure you that you will not find me on twitter. [laughter] >> this year we will be taking missile defense off the drawing board and if you got into action starting with the deployment of radar systems on land and ships in the mediterranean. as you know, one of our aegis ships the uss monterey arrived this month to begin the first
7:16 am
sustained deployment of a ballistic defense missile ship to defend the eppa. by the end of the fiscal year our regional missile defense capabilities will consist of 26 interceptors and 107 sm3 intercepters. and romania and poland have agreed to intercept. their support allows the united states to base our systems closer to the iranian threat and provide a permanent missile defense capability in europe. these plans create a synergy and reduce the cost and burdens of a european defense military architecture. finally and most importantly i want to talk about missile defense cooperation with russia since some think we are holding secret talks and cutting secret deals. nothing could be further from the truth. secretary gates is in russia as we speak. resetting our relationship with russia has provided momentum on numerous fronts including getting a new s.t.a.r.t. treaty ratified, increased cooperation
7:17 am
on afghanistan, and putting into place stiff sanctions against iran to curb hopefully and thwart its nuclear ambitions. the reset also provides a path to seek an agreement on missile defense cooperation which would enhance our national security. missile defense cooperation with russia has the potential for enhancing the capability of the european phased adapted approach which is why allied leaders reaffirm this in lisbon. and president medvedev has embraced the idea of missile defense cooperation as well. if we can work this out, there is an opportunity for a missile defense partnership that continues to move our relationship to one based on mutually assured stability, not mutually assured destruction and one that enhances our collective security. russia has assets it can bring to the table like their early warning radars. we are eager to begin a joint
7:18 am
analysis, doing exercises, and sharing early warning data that can form the basis for a cooperative missile defense system. we will work together to ensure that our missile defense systems are mutually re-enforcing. but in the end, nato will defend nato. and russia will defend russia. moving missile defense from a negative to a positive factor in our relationship could facilitate cooperation in other areas as well including talks on further reductions on strategic, nonstrategic, nondeployed nuclear weapons but reaching an agreement is not easy and will take time. beyond europe and russia, there are challenges and tough questions ahead of us. there is much more work to be done so to implement new regional approaches outside of europe. we need to think through what a phased adapted approach would look like, for example, in the middle east and asia. when the various political and military dynamics are factored
7:19 am
in, they might look different than our approach in europe. our allies in the middle east and areas have their own missile defense assets and each brings different advantages to the missile defense table. we need to figure out how we can leverage those advantages to provide the best protection for the united states, our forward-deployed troops, our allies and our partners. we also have a chance to forge closer relationships and develop more capable systems with countries like japan, france, israel, south korea and australia. we can work with our allies and partners to upgrade their warships to enable them to conduct missile defense operations. and we can work with them to deploy sensors around the world to provide the data necessary for our interceptors to take out ballistic missiles. i want to conclude with a note of reassurance. i know there's a debate at home over missile defense can be contentious my former colleagues on both sides of the aisle feel
7:20 am
very passionately about this issue. and i do too. but the lesson that you can take away is one that should reassure our allies and send a message of resolve to those who threaten us. missile defense is a national and bipartisan priority and nothing is going to change that. our country and our allies and our partners depend on missile defense agency and that's why we're so appreciative of your hard work. i want to thank you very much for your time today. i want to thank you for your hard work and patriotism. and i'll be glad to take a few easy questions. [laughter] applause >> i'll screen the easy questions out for you, ma'am. 15 your remarks on russia, what political actions will be taken to mitigate russian fears with the deployed elements?
7:21 am
>> i'm very optimistic that the united states and russia can reach agreement on cooperative missile defense systems. we've reached an agreement with nato as i said in november and we need to make progress on that cooperation. we have two different channels. one is the bilateral relationship between the united states and russia and the other is the nato russia council and we are moving in both of those channels. secretary gates is in moscow tomorrow. and i will meet with my russian counterparts this weekend in brussels and we have met -- i was in moscow last week so as you can see, we're looking forward to moving forward on these issues. the time to move is not infinite. we have great momentum coming out of the lisbon meeting in november. having all of our nato allies on board. a new mission for nato and territorial deputies so we hope that we can come to an agreement on cooperation with the russians
7:22 am
soon. but obviously it's important that we keep momentum to what we're doing. while we're leaving the train in the station for the time being it's important that we act so that we can have both of these channels the new russia channel and the u.s./russia channel move forward on its defense cooperation in a very reasonable but i think a quick way. >> of is the concept of the missile technology control regime still viable given the proliferation of missile technology and nonstate actor isn't it so >> well, as you know, the does he want manages the mtcr and i think it's important that we know that we have international agreement on the controls that we would like to have for -- to prevent the proliferation of these issues but once again i think it's important to look at president obama's position. president obama is very clear on proliferation. not for it and very interested in strengthening nonproliferation regimes. so we are working hard to make
7:23 am
sure that these regimes are relevant and that we are doing everything we can to highlight the importance of preventing proliferation especially in the missile area. >> i'll take one more. as concepts like the pa advance will there be concurrent changes in policy that might enable wider cooperative program development? >> yes. as i said, we're looking at not only the epaa which is the cornerstone of the new kind of architecture that we're looking for but we have many different kinds of allies that are looking to leverage our capabilities, their own capabilities, their future defense system buys and the kind of training cooperation that we want to have both on sensors and on early warning data so i think that this is a very big basket of opportunity. i know that general o'reilly travels the world. we're either coming out of a meeting and meese he's going in or vice versa. sometimes we go in the meeting
7:24 am
together but i think it's safe to say that there's a big future for missile defense in the world arena. we are at the lead in defensive systems. and it's very, very important that we continue to maintain that lead not only by having systems that are proven capable by making sure we have the investments for that kind of cooperation. thank you.

minister jim flaherty delivered the annual budget statement. all three opposition parties have already said they plan to vote against the budget. this could lead to a vote of no confidence and force the government to dissolve parliament and call an early election. courtesy of the canadian public service channel, this is a half hour. [applause] >> speech, speech, speech. >> mr. speaker, today our government presents to canadians the next phase of canada's economic action plan, a low tax plan for jobs and growth. [applause] >> since 2006, our government has worked hard to deliver real benefits to canadians, real support for the challenges of
7:26 am
the real world. we cut the gst twice from 7 to 6 to 5%. [applause] >> we introduced the $1200 per year universal child care benefit. we established the tax-free savings account. we removed more than 1 million low-incomed canadians from the tax rolls. the list goes on. we delivered these benefits to support the financial security of canadian families while protecting health care and pensions. in good times and challenging circumstances our government has made responsible choices. when times were good, we paid down debt. we strengthened our already-strong financial sector. we delivered more than 120 tax cuts for canadian workers, families, and job-creating entrepreneurs. we also rejected calls from the opposition to impose a
7:27 am
job-killing carbon tax. [applause] >> mr. speaker, most importantly, when the global recession hit, canada was able to meet the challenge head on. through canada's economic action plan, we delivered further tax cuts to help stimulate our economy. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: mr. speaker, we enhanced unemployment benefits and expands retraining for those hit hardest by the global recession. we also made historic investments in roads, bridges, public transit and higher education. creating jobs across the country and building the foundation for long-term growth.
7:28 am
>> canada is emerging from the global recession as one of the world's top performing advanced economies. [applause] throughout the recession, the world has looked to canada as a model and an inspiration but still there is more to be done. the global economy is still fragile. the and you say other trading partners are facing challenges. compared to other countries, canada's economy is performing very well. but our continued recovery is by no means assured. many threats remain. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: in this period of global uncertainty, our government is focused on the number one priority of canadians. we are focused on securing our economic recovery. we are focused on improving the financial security of canadian
7:29 am
workers, seniors, and families. we have a plan to achieve these goals, a plan that is working and we need to stay on track. >> the next phase of canada's economic action plan is critically important. to secure our recovery from the global recession, canada needs a principled, stable government. [applause] >> now is not the time for instability. it would make it harder for canadian businesses to plan and to expand. it would drive investment away to other countries. it would jeopardize the gains we have made. our government will provide a steady hand needed to secure our recovery. and strengthen the financial security of canadians. we have a balanced plan, to
