triumph of nationalism may be positioned against the failure or the frustration of was the other altmante 19th century and early 19th century. it's one reason why also i would argue that the production of the 1917 russian revolution did not to really succeed in its internationalist and. that did not triumph. it was in large reason because there was no support for the party for the war. especially in terms of the nationalist. more than tribalism. >> well, certainly the story of the first world war and so many other wars before and sense is one of the triumph of nationalism over reason, over its human solidarity and over much else. you are right to rent -- mentioned the russian revolution which in many ways was a direct result of the first world war. by the time of the revolution russia had suffered some 6 million casualties, dead, wounded, prisoners, and missing. during the year in 1917 it's estimated that more than a million russian soldiers left the front and what tom which is telling you know, what we would wish people to do in all wars at all times. the russian revolution even though

i'm roger altman. it's my pleasure to introduceodc cass sunstein sunstein, who is e administrator of the office of information and regulatory affairs were much more widely known as oira. we appreciate him taking the time to be with us this morning his actually is a really important job. he is responsible for overseeing many of the new federal regulations which are promulgated and we honor that is a very large volume. in addition the past five months she has been overseeing a review of existing federal regulations with an eye towards looking for opportunity to improve the impact of regulations on competitiveness, on employment and growth, and you can see why we are happy to have him here today because the relationship between regulation and innovation is an obvious and very important one. oira is one of those very peculiar washington institutions. if you walk down the streets of washington, and you're walking down the street and say to someone there's cass sunstein, he runs oira people say that's really

altman and i apologize if the name is not correct but after 9/11 and let me just say i have an appreciation for airlines. it brings graham us together and if you go into the airports people generally are happy because they are going somewhere. and they are going to get there quickly. i don't believe any member of congress hesitated one moment after 9/11 to bailout the airlines. i understood the devastation and the crime from the airlines. they needed a large bailout from the federal government. so the idea of paying for security is what patriots do. patriot stand up for their country and there's absolutely no other way that we can provide for security without that assessment. whether we increase it i have an open mind are going interested in not seen -- i cannot in any way except the fact that it is not the responsibility of the airlines and those of us who are passengers and we do pay it. the passenger fee is passed through to us so it doesn't impact airlines at all. but what i would like to find out is this issue of the recurrent basic training for flight attendants and the idea of this e

it's been a real pleasure working with michael and his colleague, michael altman. tom and i had quite an experience judging those virginia plans. tom is the simon cowl of -- >> and you were? >> i think that makes me the paula abdul. [laughter] i'll have to recover from that. i want to step back a bit to start and look at or think about a couple of bigger questions. this really does become -- i call it more of a wonkfest which i think is a better characterization than nerd. wonk is snow pell backwards, a more positive connotation behind it. but at the root of this, behind the competition, the viciousness, what it means for partisan balance is a broader concept of representation. and one of the worrisome elements of the way we've been doing redistricting, this was amplified a few years ago when texas under tom delay, went at this twice in a decade, creating a different precedent. but if you think about links between voters and their representatives, even beyond what's now become the most powerful critique of redistricting as we have it that voters should choose their
