However, based on the historical precedence of man's aggressive track record, development of enforcement policies and a means of ensuring enforcement may become necessary. Much like air and sea power in the not so distant past, increasing dependence on peaceful access to the air and sea led to a code of acceptable behavior for its common use. It also led to attempts by aggressive nations to deny access to the air and sea to others. As food for thought, I'll leave you with a quote attributed to Shelley Winters. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes the problems.
Partnerships are absolutely no different.
This is a very enlightening point when it comes to our future development of global partnerships between the military, civil, commercial, and international space sectors. Agreeing to partner is only the beginning. The relationships will take a lot of work if we're going to resolve the paradox of cooperation and competition in favor of the greater needs of our nation and our world. Thanks for hearing me out this morning and giving me a chance to speak to you on such an important issue to our future.
