Thank you so much Jon for that kind introduction and to Svetlana Gans and David Gelfand for their help in organizing this year’s Fall Forum. I appreciate the opportunity to address such an experienced audience of antitrust practitioners, academics, enforcers, and experts. The welcome letter for this Fall Forum raises an important question that I’ve been hearing a lot lately. Given last year’s election, it asks: “how does antitrust fare in the required reduction in federal regulations?” I certainly support limited government and a reduction in regulation. But what does that mean for the enforcement of the antitrust laws? Today, with your permission, I’ll discuss two related answers to that question.
