on the civilian side, launching a center of excellence at gsa. this is a model we have used for other efforts where we know that multiple agencies need to move from the cloud. to the cloud for e-mail services 80, 90% of the work that needs to be done to make that transition is the same. whether you are at hyde or sba or anywhere it may be. there is no need to reinvent the wheel every time. they can at least provide an 80% solution for the five most common processes where you could use ai. .... .... an issue that unites americans. i often point out that washington is an island surrounded by reality. here inside the beltway people are obsessed

the gsa was essentially the owner of this building in 1996. they were preparing the building for sale. so, one of the gentleman that is going to be going into this building, this guy here. he's a carpenter named richard lyons. richard lyons was going into this building the day before thanksgiving, 1996, clearing out the building before the holiday. he had another partner with him. the partner ends up not going to the third floor of the building with him, he did some shopping for the holidays and richard went up the stairs alone. he goes up those stairs, up to the third floor. he hangs a left and comes towards us and walks down the long hallway. that's what the building looked like at the time, minus a lot of the lights. he's going in there with a flashlight walking down the hall. it's a spooky, spooky place, in fact he says the places crawling with ghosts. he thought the place was just dripping with them. his story, as i get to it, you will see why. he walks down this big room and gets to the room he's standing in. as he's walking down this ha
