Transcript

STEVEN METZ: This particular project, the one dealing with the Peoples Liberation Army, I think is safe to say it really has been the crown jewel in this particular program for us for the ten years that we’ve been involved with it.

Larry Wortzel and Andrew Scobell initially led our partnership in this involvement. Now, as they continue, David Lai has picked that up for us. And as Richard said, I think if you go back and look at the history of this particular conference and the publications, the volumes that have come out of it, you’d find that they really do represent the cutting edge on a very crucial national security and political issue. And all you have to do is use Google to find out just how important they are. The current volume, the one that we’re releasing today, has sustained that high level of scholarship, and I think it, like its predecessors, will also play an important role in thinking on this issue and will resonate among the policy community. So with that said, once again, I’d like to express my thanks to you for coming in.
