 So, one of the things that is distinct about this project is the support both from the private sector and foundations and also importantly from our federal government and the public sector and right from the start somebody who has I think seen eye to eye in particular in conversations with Bob and with his teammate Eva Caldera in the front row Chairman Jim Leach of the National Endowment for Humanities made one of the first gifts in a Chairman's grant last year to support technical meeting we had in Washington D.C. He was there at the National Archives and made the case for this project in the nation's capital and most recently made a one million dollar award, an unusual out of cycle completely amazing support to kick off the digital hubs pilot project that we will be talking about in a moment Chairman Leach. Well, thank you John. The importance of a digital public library is self-evident. There have been prior revolutions in the democratization of ideas and we had the development of marks and combinations of letters to represent words. We've had the invention of paper and the printing press, the establishment of schools especially public schools, libraries, universities and they've all been seminal stages in knowledge development and dissemination. The concept of establishing in the public domain an easily accessible repository of a vast conglomeration of written material and created matter is a logical extension of these prior revolutions. The reason the National Endowment for the Humanities has made our largest grant in recent years to this undertaking is to accelerate the corporate organizing to reduce the uncertainties and reward with legitimizing support the efforts that have been launched by so many of you in this room. As an observer it would seem that the key is to blast full steam forward and ensure coordination not only with all other libraries and museums but all their efforts underway from the Library of Congress to the Hathi Trust from your Piana to Google. And I remain hopeful that at some point the United States Congress will give meaningful priority to this enterprise but in the immediate future it would seem that private foundations are going to have to carry the major burden. In the meantime I'd like simply to express my respect to all those committed to one of the great revolutions of our age. This is a true and worthy pioneering effort. Thank you. Chairman Leach thank you and in echoing your words I think the importance of this award from the NEH is not just the million dollars which is extremely useful but really is the legitimizing force of this award and on the day that you announced it it was a big splashy thing on the website of the NEH and we all know that so thank you. Thank you for that and all else.
