Grow Jobs by Accelerating Invention Time to Market
For the US to be globally competitive in manufacturing, the up hill climb needed to turn an idea into a safe, manufactured product must be changed to a down hill slide.
To accomplish this, each step from invention to shipping and retailing product must be examined and the cost of effectively meeting all local, state, and federal government standards must be reduced. Today, an inventor in the US can create manufacturing jobs in China faster and easier than he/she can in the US. This is because the time and cost to turn an idea into a new product in China…

Align Tech Strategic Objectives Holistically Over all Agncys
Too Much redundancy exists among all Fed Agencies today. Hundred of millions of dollars can be saved by reducing the redundancy as this will reduce dispartiy and lead to improved results from the Feds to the people it serves. This is a big deal. Why shouldn't the Fed not run like any other business?

Create moon-mission for renewable energy transition
History has proven that when the American people have sufficient will, they can achieve amazing things. The Manhattan project and moon mission were both great examples of this.
Completely weaning our country off non-renewable energy sources is a problem that will require an equal level of determination. If we expect to do this, we should dedicate an unprecedented level of resources to the problem. The transition will not be easy, but it will create a huge number of new jobs and will reestablish the USA as a technological leader in the world.

Instead they work diligently to create creative solutions for industry and government. The large IT contractors may team with the small businesses and thereby give the buying agencies the additional confidence they may desire.

establish clear judicial guidelines about piracy
The RIAA and other private entities currently pursue piracy cases in civil courts with little or no precedent as to what sums of money are reasonable to take from defendants, what levels of evidence are required to convict, and what evidence is admissible in court.
The CTO should work with the Justice Department to set in place clear judicial guidelines, so that the RIAA cannot sue for overly large sums from defendants, and force them into settlements. The statue of limitations should be clearly defined, so that every lawyer and citizen knows exactly what to expect in a piracy case…

Seriously look into cyberwar
With terrorists and goverments continually getting more sophisticated, we need to protect ourselves on the internet front. We aren't prepared for an attack on our systems and no one's going to take it seriously until it happens. We don't seem to learn.
