The transcription process for this event that has received a lot of attention in the media as well as my attention in entries below was complicated by the fact that the New America Foundation (in which I have a fairly substantial role) has unbelievably low quality recording and taping equipment. Thus, we were unable to send this out for standard transcribing.
At long last, our team — including Jennifer Buntman, Jerry Irvine, Swati Pandey, Joanna Lederman, Robynn Sturm, Katie Willers, and yours truly — have finished this monster.
The transcript of the presentations was already posted below, but here it is again. And the Q&A of transcripts is available now here.

David Sanger, another attendee at the lunch, wrote this in the New York Times today — again referencing Scowcroft’s cautionary comments.
