mission to nato for secretary albright. she was, for so many of us, a real mentor as well as a friend, a supporter, an incredible counselor. i think we all miss her every single day, but we're also animated by her spirit, her determination, and in many ways animated by her vision of what the united states can be, should be, as well as what this alliance can be and should be. this would be her kind of night. she loved nato, and she made a huge contribution to it. almost exactly 25 years ago -- across the atlantic, at the truman library in missouri -- madeleine formally welcomed poland, the czech republic, and hungary into the alliance, and she quoted an old central european expression to mark the moment: hallelujah. [laughter] that grew the alliance to 19 members. today, of course, we're 32. at the time, madeleine and her counterparts were also looking forward to another washington summit -- that was the one marking the 50th anniversary of our alliance. she reminded the audience that day nato's strength depends on its unity.

commissioner albright, do you have? >> no comment. >> thank you so much. and in the interest of time, let us move forward to our consent calendar. so just to remind public, the consent is considered routine matters by the commission and in an ideal world it will be voted on at one time. but there are a particular items in the consent calendar that we need to separate which are items 3, 4 and 6 and so we will separate those items and discuss them vujly, but i'll entertain a motion to approve items 1, 2, 5, 7, 8 and 9. >> so moved. >> second. >> it's been moved and properly seconded to approve the items on the consent calendar 12578 and 9. we're ready for the vote. >> public. >> sorry, public comment. any members of the public who wish to make comment on these items? any remote callers. >> there is no callers in the queue, oh one caller. >> one caller. >> go ahead caller, we hear you. they hung up. >> okay, thank you. let's call the vote. >> commissioner please respond with aye or nay. chair butler. >> aye. >> vice chair. >> aye. >> aye. >> commissioner evan

i can mention madeleine albright is an excellent example. she was the u.s. secretary of state but also from prague. president biden: we know it all the time. mr. fiala: and most importantly, we share the same values, human rights, freedom, democracy, and we need to deal with challenges like russian aggression in ukraine, terrorism, difficult situation in the middle east. and in such a situation, the security cooperation between democratic country is a must. mr. president, i appreciate your leadership in support of ukraine. we are also doing our best to help you and stop putin's aggression. in 1968, i was a little boy. in 1968, i saw russian tanks in the streets of my town, and i don't want to see this again. so we must continue to help ukraine as long as possible and why we started the czech ammunition initiative to provide ukraine with hundreds of thousands of artillery shells very soon. it will happen in the next few weeks or months. and also with most ukrainian refugees per capita in europe may be in the world. the international situation is very difficul

commissioner albright? >> i want to echo that and i want to know if there is a way for provider association maybe for them to, yeah, to self report what their experience is, i think that would be a useful input for the commission. >> thank you. yes, commissioner. >> i just wanted follow-up on commissioner ge rera recommendation regarding data around deaths, a model that could be followed by the department is the child death review teams that are done in concert with medal examiner as well as general hospital and the police department and child welfare. it's a confidential model that allows also for there to be a public health approach on the work. so as we're thinking about how to understand deaths and in homeless communities, that is a model within the state law for teams to think about approaches to go forward. >> thank you, commissioner. one more. >> thank you. i, appreciate the updated work charts i saw that they were sent to us during the meeting. i did have a conversation with director mcsadden about

paul triolo from the albright stonebridge group consultancy says the us is making huge strides to bringhip production onshore. it is a huge step forward. i think one official characterised it as the biggest foreign direct investment in greenfield's facility in advanced semiconductors in us history. so it's a big step on the way to the us trying to onshore some percentage of global capacity in advanced semiconductors. right now, the percentage is zero, so the goals that the commerce department has set up for these investments is to reach about 20% of global capacity for advanced semiconductors by 2030. and this is a big step in that direction. it's notjust investments coming from the outside, in this regard, the us is investing in itself. $6.6 billion as part of the chips act. this is a significant amount of money, isn't it? you have to put this in some context, though. other countries, like taiwan, likejapan, like south korea, they been investing in their semiconductor industries for a long time, so this is the us finally playing the game of investing in this type of manufacturing which

luka mentioned madeleine albright. the three d's approach was the status quo for a long time.recently there have been shifts. they've been happening at the european level for longer but we are seeing the shifts in american rhetoric. i've heard from senior u.s. defense officials that they are supportive of a european defense industrial base. that that is in our interest. we should be encouraging the europeans. that's a tangible way for them to do more. getting away from the status quo thinking nato is nato and nato cannot have the eu's help, that change will be special. i hope it takes throughout this generation. it's been a long time coming. >> agree but for me, one particular aspect of this when it comes to nexgen leaders is a reminder to the generations that came before us about the fact that we take peace for granted. in order to make sure nato remains relevant and strong requires engaging with a new generation of people in different ways. which means nato will need to be more present on the ground, more political and visible in ways it hasn't been so far. transparency. tho

i think madeleine albright, former professor here of course and a first female secretary of state said it best when she said we know that when democracies, with the democracies of europe and america are divided, crevices are created to which forces of evil and aggression may emerge. but when we stand together, there's no force on earth more powerful than our solidarity on behalf of freedom. and that's it right there. it's our solidarity, the solidarity that makes nato stronger and is made nato one of the most successful alliances in history, and one that is made the alliance ready for tomorrow's challenges. thank you very much. i look forward to your questions. [applause] >> well, thank you, ambassador smith. thank you, everyone to beer. i'm davidson, "new york times," and just so that you understand the order of the next few minutes. ambassador and are going to talk for about half an hour, and then we're going to go out to questions for everybody. there are a couple of microphones lined up, or at least i see here, where you can stand for your questions. so thank you for this. thanks f

tell me about madeline albright. what, what, why did she appoint new director policy planning under clinton? it was a little bright, is famous in this region of west asia, for thing it was a price was paying when $500000.00 maybe children were killed by us sanctions on iraq. i'm not familiar with that. quote, i don't know why she picked me. i knew were right known her for years, and people in our staff were there were some people want us to have very close to me. and i think very soon with me. but she never said i had to call that or that will asking whether i really except to try the policy planning direction or if i was offered. and i said that would and because we have that all the right of us, we don't, we are. what did it feel like when the tent and bomb, the chinese embassy in belgrade, and i handed the total destruct break up of yugoslavia. you were there and was there a fever of intervention and costs that obviously, bombing the chinese embassy and remember cookie. i never was able to get to the bottom of wha

democrat structures during the time of boston and civil war. o'brien who was in the system to madeline albright is now in charge of balkans and the you the current investor to boston. it wasn't the system to richard holbrooke was working on the peace agreement there. charlie, who had been writing the date and peace agreement was the deputy to the state secretary. so all of them are now back to, as they like to say, finished and finish business, but only they know what the finish business is for them is still a no republican service. good credit union, terry boston hurts of covina, dominated by boston, must smaller respect to slump, respect people and countries who follow that faith and which makes this country successful. i've got nothing against them but to you were dealing with the relations between boston and her to covina. and as others are both so you have to bear in mind that the board remains of the collective west. i think that the term west is wrong, just like the impulse narrative of some western balkans on us pressure and serve it to stop making friends in the world would withdraw. t

how long ago was it the other the for the us a secretary of state, madeleine albright, you remember when she was asked about the depths of those thousands of iraq of children and she said, oh, it was old. was that meantime you and me doing odd jobs as john list were trying to uncover the uncomfortable truth. now, i mean eve, on march 18th canadian, the canadian parliament voted to and expose the israel back to the state of the country. naturally stoning on implementing this policy report, really, there are new polls in the band. i mean, did you do your thoughts on this kind of it was really interested in the resolution . all of the conflict or not, of all the canadian government is not interested in a resolution in the sense that is not willing to impose any sort of pressure on israel regarding the arms band and that motion and how's the commons. it was a small step forward, but it didn't, didn't do a number of things specific around arms. and so there's a whole bunch, there's like $300.00 upstanding arms permits, the israel and the resolution. the government, how to change from the oppo

ndi, led by our dear former chair, madeleine albright, who we miss every day, began work years ago to address gender-based violence in politics because our work around the world has shown that, even as we give women the skills and the confidence to engage in political participation, even as we remove the barriers to women's political participation, they then face disproportionate attacks on social media, physical attacks. and that deters women from remaining in the political process. if that's true for women who were not already survivors of gender-based violence, and imagine the impact if you are a survivor of conflict based sexual violence and then want to engage in politics in the post-conflict time. for us at ndi, what this has meant his building into a lot of our day-to-day program -- programmatic work. trauma infirmed -- so we can address the needs of our participants, where they are. as well as, working in our programs with local partners on solutions that they can develop in bringing survivors to help develop those solutions to combat gender-based violence so that these surviv

and then, of course, the more recent secretaries of state clinton, rice, powell, albright, yes, kissinger. we're just past. so well speaking presidents who, as secretary of state, i think our next stop is in monroe. it is. let's go. great. now, virginia hart, this is one of the smaller rooms we've been at? yes, absolutely this is one of the private rooms for the secretary of state. so this is off the tour. it at this point. how does the secretary use room? well, it's a holding room and he'll gather here before proceeding to another area to make remarks. and this is the monroe room. oh, it is. for this portrait by thomas aiello and thomas aiello, one of the great american portrait artists, the 19th century. and he was also known to flatter his subjects. so if you to have your portrait done, you would probably want solely your artist. now, we want to remind our viewers about the book america's collection that just came out because i'm seeing something that reminds me of that. well, they are a pair of vases that made in paris for the american market and americans absolutely loved porcelain.

madeleine albright was secretary at that time. i got to see her a little bit at work, which is remarkable. and then i was very fortunate to convert into a permanent civil service position on my first spot in the pentagon was with an incredible figure in national security. she was an early mentor of mine and has been someone who has been very helpful and from whom i have learned a lot over the course in my career. so i would not be here if it were not for the program. anyone interested in foreign policy or government service of any kind who are graduate students, i strongly encourage you to apply for that program. dr. ayres: this is great advice and i hope you take it to heart. here's the first question i was originally going to ask you and because we are here, we are really interested in hearing your thoughts and lessons on leadership. what do you consider the essential qualities of leadership, and how has that been manifested throughout your career? sec. wormuth: one thing that differentiates a leader from a manager, i think a le

they were killing 10, even more than thousands of people a day, the whole world watched, madeline albrights of yugoslavia, but she is the midwife of the genocide in rwanda, because she then sat on... the un security council and he is actually completely ignored what was happening, because it was spring, in 1994 , serbia was already being squeezed out of bosnia and herzegovina, what kind of rwanda, what are you talking about, that it’s not about rwanda, more than a million people were killed, then when catholic priests there too they took part in this, people tried to hide in monasteries, they were handed over to pogromists there, and so on, and so on, and so on, then when they seemed to have completed and even ... created the un, they actually provoked an even larger war in the congo, look, how they present what i’m talking about, well , not only are they to blame for all this, here is guterres, the secretary general, well , of the international day, he seems to speak out, well, there are such statements from him that they say, well somehow the world is all, everyone is responsible, not th

madeline albright used to tell wonderful stories. i interviewed her some years ago at a summit we did the lbj library on on race in america and she was talking about being an immigrant into this country. her family fled nazi germany, first went to england and then went to america. and her father would say the wonderful about america versus other places. when we settled in england, people would ask, how long are you staying? when we settled in, people would ask, when are you going to a citizen? and the fact that our our separate area of state was relating the story, her, her life's experiences is truly remarkable and a testament to our country. so one last question before we go to the audience. as i walked around the there's many themes that that struck me. but one of them and we touched upon it here in various answers is the role of resistance. so i'll just ask a simple question when is resistance justified to secure rights in a democracy democracy? it's toughie. well, for me, i like. i think it often is when there's no other option

i think of them often like my partner jimmy albright who dragged me too safety while i was unconsciousnd drove me to the emergency room though injured himself. i think that about commander renee who, like so many of us is self deployed to the capitol. who organize the defense in the lower west vittert tunnel and his rally cry do not give up the door. it echoes through my thoughts. i think of all the brave men and women, newly minted officers and those nearly retired who responded to the call of service that day in defense of our nation. those who were still the front lines each and every day to make our city safe and protect our institutions of government. i appeared today, not to give my opinion or analysis or advocate for some action but simply to bear witness. i leave whatever action needs to be taken to your wisdom. and where we go as a nation to the american people. i have no agenda or affiliation. i do not come with malice in my heart but only a deep love of this country, which i know is shared by so many others both young and old. both republican and democrat. and in the process
