we engage the private sector and academia as needed. we recognize it's going to be an all of the above type activity to answer these areas. >> that's a perfect marriage, if you will, we're able to do that. there by, do away with the stigma, the nonability to work with nonoutside groups and to make this as seamless as possible. still going to come back for one more. these research partnerships have the potential to accelerate scientific breakthroughs and health care delivery systems and bio sciences. should the department replicate this model in other field of research and what steps can we take to facilitate that? >> i think the answer is yes in terms of replication. our focal point now has been on the veterans health data and on the precision medicine data set because of its unique complexities. it comes with annotations with handwritten notes, with data streams and imagery and the collections of multi modal data that talks to a situation in unique ways that is going to test how we develop predictive technologies, artificially intellig

partnershipse with labs, academia and the private sector are important. a concerted effort here well lead to innovation tied to design and development of the next generation supercomputing. two better health care in our strategy for medicine. it could inform when and how to treat our veterans. they specialize in healthcare with dlg experts. and a better government within public and private partnerships. thank you and i look forward to answering your questions. we now recognize mister meek for his testimony. and members of both subcommittees think you for having me here today. on september 112001 i waspt running operations for goldman sachs. as i watch the first responders running into the courage of that day. i'm still a financial services executive.to shoulder strong as a charitable organization committed to improving the lives of our servicemen, and veterans. it started with a quest from an forward operating base. for the deployed troops. we assembled and sent over 75,000 supplies. as the words went down we contemplated shutting down. in retrospect one

so he built up his own academia and all of these organizations. maybe if the democrats feel endangered enough they would do the same. there are additional recordings. is that something you've heard as well. do you think they will ever see the light of day. i don't know about it. it doesn't surprise me as a possibility. because they reported everything. it was so meticulous in deliberate and there were scientists and doctors psychologist measuring to make sure that when they waterboarding people they measured their oxygen level so they didn't die. it wouldn't surprise me if there were other records i don't know if there are more videotapes or not. most of these people were on. there is some examples of people trying to destroy the video. water boarded 88 times. they can be incompetent when it comes to that. thank you so much. in terms of your contact we hear a lot about accusations made. in terms of your contacts with people who had worked in the state department or cia or career people how are these people doing. i think at the morale is just terr

they must work with the private sector and academia. no less important are investments in stem education, programs that develop junior talent into future tech leaders of policies that promote an environment in which global collaboration, discovery, innovation, public institutions, and industry can thrive. i had an opportunity to read dr. schmidt's statement and i want to thank you because it provides a kind of reality test for us, and how do we continue to do many of the advances that we've been working on, and you note those in your statement very clearly. but also build an architecture that is going to bring us into the future and certainly respond to the needs of the men and women who go to war on behalf of our country. i look forward to hearing your testimony today. thank you. excuse me. and i yield back. >> without objection, both of your written statements will be made a part of the record. i do want to comment, dr. griffin, that nobody's read yours because we just got it. and i think it's important. i realize that when you're an

mike -- [inaudible] with george mason university and former journalist and now in academia, doing research on college sports. first, i want to emphasize that nobody has a license on someone's ability, right? in terms of somebody being good or bad, you know? that depends on -- we don't know, right? so i want to say, having said that, the system that the soccer leagues in britain used is being used in this country in amateur leagues and stuff, and i think that could be something we could look at as a way to sort of, you know, get young people, you know -- [inaudible] players playing in the summer in those leagues. they don't get paid much, but at least it's guiding them in the right direction to become professionals. so maybe something like that could be formed in the different sports. i know it's difficult for football, but, you know, in the different sports. i just wanted to share that. >> great, thank you. other questions? yep, in the back. over here, we've got a question. >> thanks for doing this. my name is michael pointer. i was a sports writer for more than 20 years primarily at the i
