“Now What” at the State Department
Five former Secretaries of State offered advice for the next President at a forum at George Washington University last week. CNN’s Frank Sesno and Christiane Amanpour moderated the forum; we heard comments made at the forum by each of the five former State Department heads, and we talked to Mr. Sesno about his perspective on the discussion.
A question from a viewer of the forum concerned US standing around the world. Ms. Amanpour posed the question to the panel.

That means their Chief Information Officer, Casey Coleman, is one of the busiest CIOs in town. She gave us an update on telework deployment at GSA. We also talked tech about cloud computing, software as a service, and green computing, among other topics.
