Thank you, David [Blass].  I’m very pleased to be here this morning to kick off today’s discussion of a timely and critical topic: the evolving role of compliance professionals.  I’d be remiss if I didn’t begin by expressing my thanks to the team responsible for today’s event: Mike Stone, who suggested the event in the first place, our panelists Howard Plotkin and Jerry Baker, and David Blass [and Steve Benham] from the Division of Trading and Markets, who worked with our panelists to put together today’s event.  It’s very heartening to me that there are people like Mike, Howard, and Jerry who are willing to so generously volunteer their time to help the Commission better understand the myriad and complicated challenges facing today’s compliance professionals.  I often speak of the scoundrels and miscreants in the securities industry; it’s a genuine pleasure to be here today with folks from the other end of the spectrum.
