that's an informal group of seven us of who came together because of our concern over the underr underinvestment of rnd. the names of the six members are in the written statement i'd like to provide for the record. >> very good. we'll include the entire report. in fact, in our record. >> excellent. thank you. i also should acknowledge that we received excellent technical and administrative support from the bipartisan policy council, an organization formed by four of your former colleague. today i'm not able to speak directly for my associates in this project, because we are highly informal group. on the other hand i think comments will reflect the vies of the group. we have prepared two reports, the first of those had to do with the underfunding of research and development in the energy area in our country, both by the government and by the private sector. we also came out very strongly for supporting arpa-e which exceeded our expectations to date. the second report we put out deals with the need for the government to involve itself in energy, research and development and i'll speak more to that
