Moderator: Welcome everyone to a really special Defense Writers Group. We’re here to roll out the report of the committee on assessing and improving strategies for preventing, countering and responding to weapons of mass destruction, in particular, nuclear threats.
It is great to have all of you here. Our panelists, an absolute blue chip group to brief us today. Stephen Flynn is the Chairman of the Nuclear Terrorism Commission; Madelyn Creedon is the Vice Chair; Michael Janicke is the Senior Staff Director; and Jessica Stern is a member. Thank you all for being here.
The ground rules, as always, this is on the record. You may record for accuracy of quotes, but there’s no broadcast of audio or video.
We’ll have the Chair and the Vice Chair give us some opening comments just to brief us on this detailed report, and then we’ll go to the group for questions. You can just raise your hand in the Zoom mode and I’ll call on you.
With that, I’d like to turn the floor over to Stephen and Madelyn to give us their thoughts on the important findings of this very important report.
Chair Flynn: Thank you so much, Thom.
