Defense Writers Group

December 18, 2020

DWG: Our guest today is Dr. Will Roper, Assistant Secretary for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics of the United States Air Force. No stranger to most of the people on the call.

Dr. Roper, thank you for joining us today at the Defense Writers Group. We’re going to be recording this session and we’ll put the transcript up in a day or two. Those who are on the call, however, will have a bit of a lead on those who are not.

DWG:  Thanks, everyone, for joining us today for a conversation about nuclear weapons and technological change which is made possible by Carnegie Corporation of New York, for which we thank them.

The incoming Biden administration has made clear that it will take up President Putin’s offer and renew for five years the New START Treaty prior to its expiration in February.  Then President Biden should just have time to do that before the expiration date in I think the second week in February...

DWG: Ladies and gentlemen of the Defense Writers Group, welcome to our session today with Admiral Craig Faller, the Commander of U.S. Southern Command. Admiral, we had you once before I guess under more pleasant circumstances with breakfast and so forth, but here we are in the middle of a pandemic and very grateful to you for taking some time right now to talk with the journalists of the Defense Writers Group about Southern Command.

DWG: Thank you General Kenneth S. Wilsbach, Commander of U.S. Pacific Air Forces for joining us today with the Defense Writers Group. Our format is strictly Q&A and it’s on the record. People do a question and if they want to, a follow-up.


I start, and I’m going to throw you a softball and just ask you, because you’re new, how do you see the job? What are your priorities? How do things look from where you sit at the moment?

DWG:  Good afternoon everyone.  Welcome to this session of the Defense Writers Group.  We’re honored to have today Vice Admiral William Galinis, the Commander of Naval Sea Systems Command.  Sir, thank you very much for joining us.  We’ve got one hour.  It's all questions and answers.  It’s on the record.  And there will be a transcript but it won’t go out for a day or so onto our web site if anyone wants to see it later.  So those of you who are on the call have the initial advantage for news cycles.

Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to this conversation today between the members of the Defense Writers Group and Assistant Secretary of State, the Honorable R. Clarke Cooper. Mr. Cooper’s responsibilities are in the Political-Military area, and he’s the primary contact or one of the main contacts between the State Department and the Pentagon that so many of our members cover regularly and intensively. So we’re very grateful to you, Mr. Cooper, for finding time again for us to talk about what’s going on.

Thank you very much again for finding some time for the Defense Writers Group to speak to us from Hawaii. As you know because of the pandemic all our sessions are on-line right now which in some ways makes it inconvenient and in other ways makes it easier for people like you, Admiral, to speak to us even when you’re not in Washington.
