The United States is experiencing a crisis in government public service. Appreciation and respect for government service has steadily declined since the 1960s. Washington Post Live will gather a major statesman of the last 40 years and a significant current policymaker for this important discussion. Join the 22nd U.S. Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates and Stefanie Tompkins, the director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on Friday, Nov. 19 at 2:30 p.m. ET. They will evaluate strategies to galvanize a new generation to go into public service and instill a fresh dynamic that builds a “start-up” kind of enthusiasm, whether that involves designing the next lunar mission for NASA, deploying AI for national cybersecurity or shaping strategy at the Pentagon and White House.

While the vaccines are a great next step in fighting the pandemic, we can’t lower our guard. Not all countries have broad access to vaccination. In the U.S. people that have access to vaccines may not have been  vaccinated, and children may not be vaccinated until much later in the year. Variants of concern will inevitably continue to appear, and we are seeing areas of the world where infections are at their peak and continue to trend up. As we consider travel and move about the world again, how can we remain safe while traveling? The U.S. State Department  warned against travel to about 80% of the world only last month, as many countries continue to contend with surges of the virus. Setting up a testing protocol that is flexible and timely, and keep travelers safe, will be key. Some countries, airports and airlines are already implementing testing measures systematically with success. What does the future of travel look like? We will discuss in this segment.

As the country emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of Federal service and Federal leadership have never been more important.
