one is the smithsonian is . ening an outpost in london do you plan to take smithsonian special exhibitions from washington to london? and would you like to take more exhibitions elsewhere in the world or in the country? and the second part of that is if the smithsonian adds new museums, is there any thought to putting these new buildings in other parts of the united states instead of washington, virginia area? >> great. so i think at its most fundamental level the question really has to do with whether our responsibility as the stewards of the nation's largest or the world's largest museum and research complex -- whether those duties are satisfied by working hard, broadly, and deeply. but at the places where we have our 19 museums and galleries and the national zool onlycal park. so the answer is absolutely not. doing just by doing some of the world's best work in some of those locations. that's the reason they want tot start to broaden it. that's the reason that the 206, i ian supports think is the number, affi

a few month as the the smithsonian, that institutions like the smithsonian that are large, broad, well-knowno say respected, well for the foreseeable future, should and will have a foot in both worlds. we need to preserve the objects that we recognize as part of the american tradition and culture. and yet, as richard and others have been doing for some time, begin to push the boundaries of what could be done. my predecessor, formerly president of georgia tech and very creative person began the process of more aggressively digitizing those parts of the collection that can easily be digitized. the collection breathtakingly is 138 million things. and some of the museums -- the verb he used us to democratize the collection. you don't have to be among a small number of people that will get to the mall. even in our city there are people who don't get to the mall, who don't share in the riches directly. that's one theme that sounded. a second theme that sounded which resonates with me is the issue of diversity writ large. diversity in the audiences that we're serving, diversity of the employment, w

they work with the smithsonian latino center and with other units of the smithsonian to produce exhibits, of which there are many. finally, other activities are done to bolster the whole field, such as a training program for latinos and latinos who would museum studies. i had the great joy this past summer to have a graduation luncheon with the latest cohort of these people. the idea of a museum itself is above my pay grade. the idea of telling the story of latinos in america is not, and we're doing it and will do more. drags the national portrait gallery and american art museum share the same building. do you favor combining them into one administrative structure? skorton: i really do not. i do favor doing everything i can as a cheerleader and manager to make sure each of these two juveniles and our crown have a chance to continue to grow and develop. you might think, how can something grow and develop that is been there for generations? it can't because the country, the world is growing and developing and these are two really good examples. very good examples of institutions that have

and understand though that the smithsonian is a special case. when james smithson wrot broke e terms of the bequest at the then very young united states, place had never visited, he was a british chemist, he said that his iq was the increase and diffusion of knowledge. the diffusion is what you're talking about, the interface with the public. but increase far, the research part at a special twist of complexity because it is when a researcher in some. is going to want to get access to the think? it doesn't mean it couldn't be elsewhere and you could get access but that greatly complicates it. so there's an enormous amount of scholarly activity in the sciences come in the arts, anthropology and communities going on at the smithsonian. that's a set of imperatives that we also have to meet. >> give a shout out to jim smith and it was a pembroke college study thank you. i'm a health writer who's also a poet and i will be sending you a poem spent i'm going to write down claudia gary. sent a little bio information age would because what i'm doing is on

the smithsonian touches the gamut.imenger is a long friend of mine and a .ifetime washingtonian he said, let me give you a discretion of the smithsonian, it is everything under the sun. that is what it is. here is an institution that absolutely, posit sibley -- positively needs to make sure we don't focus on the stem disciplines despite we think about it in vocational terms, economic terms, world leadership terms -- all of that is important and necessary, but not efficient to work our way through a troubled world. mr. isaacson: you seem suited for that because you have a science background as a cardiologist, yet even in your cardiology, what you are most renowned for is your imaging. you have also been a flute player, you love the arts. instead of seeing things like the arts or the stem disciplines, you have stood at the intersection. is there a way to make sure people can get to that combination of the two cultures? mr. skorton: i am a cheerleader for that, i'm not in a part in making it happen. what you do collective

he said do you know what the smithsonian is? i can describe it in forward to -- everything under the sun. everything is at the smithsonian should be an honest broker of discussions of difficult issues. that may explain why he declined to pull items from an exhibit that came from bill cosby's collection. be one ofd we should the places in washington and in the country where we can convene conversations on issues where we don't agree as a society and years the convening power to bring together people of varying points of view and let the public decide what they think. ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm national press club welcome to the 13th secretary of the smithsonian institution.

i would say the national zoo is actually owned by the smithsonian, has always been, and as a regent ofhe smithsonian when i learned the pandas needed funding to keep them here, i decided i would help them with that. but my view is patriotic fi philanthropy is a bit of a phrase. if you are doing any, you are helping the country and the community. what i was trying to do in defining that phrase is say things that particularly relate to helping the u.s. government and things it can't afford to do anymore or helping to remind people of our heritage and tradition, so that's really what i was referring to. in that case i was helping with the smithsonian, it gets 60% of its budget from the federal government but 40% comes from contributions and philanthropy and so forth and it was in that conte context. >> some of your projects are a great success like the pandas. how is it doing to educate members of congress about history, your library of congress dinners? >> well, what you're referring to is this i thought it would be a good idea to get members of congress to come together in a nonpartisan
