"15 PRESENTATION OF JAY COHEN, UNDER SECRETARY OF
16 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DIRECTORATE, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF
17 HOMELAND SECURITY.
18 Mr. Cohen: Well, good morning. And thank you so
19 much for sharing your most valuable asset with us, and that
20 is your time and also your thoughts, at this workshop.
21 It’s a real pleasure to work with Hugo and his team. I
22 don't know anybody who has a tougher job in Homeland

11
1 Security than he and his people do, and they are about the
2 most diligent group that I’ve dealt with. And so I’m
3 excited about this workshop and look forward very much to
4 the results that come out of this, the recommendations and
5 the inputs, et cetera.
6 Well, I’m research man and you probably asked
7 yourself, you know, why do we have the Department of
8 Homeland Security? And so I thought I’d share with you
9 just very quickly my thoughts. After the horrendous events
10 of 9/11 and in a non-partisan, bi-partisan way, the Congress,
11 the Administration came together, and they created the
12 Department of Homeland Security, and it is this incredible
13 experiment in nuclear fusion. You know, I was a nuclear
14 submariner for decades; I dealt in nuclear fission, well,
15 this ain’t fission, this is fusion. And those of you in
16 industry who deal in mergers and acquisitions, you
17 understand the challenges of bringing together 22 disparate
18 agencies and all of their cultural differences into this
19 Department of Homeland Security. Today I would tell you I
20 describe it as the confederated states of Homeland
21 Security; we are a pre-constitutional convention, but all
22 the vectors are in the right direction."
