you can see the numbers, 19 points a game. the best player on the top team. he deserves to be the player of the year. personally, in terms of overall consistency, game in and game out. >> marcus: i share that you have to look atkins. -- at consistency. he has been that. shooting woes continues for both teams here. 15-13. 8:35 remaining, first half. >> marcus: you have to navigate yourself through it if you are arizona. and understanding the dangers.

looking move. by anderson. struggling. >> barry: jones, all the way to the basket. great shot! >> marcus: new york city, inner city, new york playground-type attitude. get there, take the contact, take it to the hole. >> barry: a good job defensively. honeycutt lost the handle. trying to get it ahead, williams to jones to the basket but out of bounds. ben howland is going to a time-out here. this is not easy, through the contact, made the score. and a guy getting better all the time. a two-point ball game. a close game. now. arizona state could get a share of the conference championship, stanford and california.

arizona state taking care of business against ucla on saturday. washington at 9-7, they play later on. arizona and ucla, 8 up, 8 down, both can go up or down, depending on how the weekend plays out. what you don't want to do. what every coach in the conference will tell you, is -- >> marcus: impossible to win four in four days. you know, if you win three in three days, get to the championship game. anything can happen. you are on such a roll if you are that eight, nine team. >> barry: just to bring you up to date, oregon and washington, oregon state is all over washington state, leading by 18 at the half. dag vick. and put it up, and scored. >> marcus: the activity of honeycutt on the offensive

glass. tremendous job. averages seven a game in conference season. starting to come into his own. a great nose for the basketball. and you know, a lot of guys don't have the presence of mind to put the hard dribble on the floor. get to the other side. >> barry: filling up the stat sheet as you can see. >> marcus: most impressive. five blocked shot necessary that game against oregon. >> barry: nic wise this time, double clutch to the rim. horne. >> marcus: two-three zone defense, the guys put it on the floor, get to the basket. nic wise to get there. you don't want that happening. >> barry: outside. wise. >> marcus: jones, taking up the

challenge of trailing it him up and down the floor, trying to deny him. >> barry: got picked. >> marcus: take that rookie. you want to hang with me, okay, i will show you how to get open. >> barry: jones at the other end now. jones steps n. >> marcus: see what is going on with nic wise. exhausted at this point. he is not -- >> barry: forcing that pass. turnover. >> marcus: interesting with the substitutions. the kind of energy you need to see from nic wise, and jones, having a tough, tough time dealing with mike roll. >> barry: he fell down that

time. as soon as he fell down, he knocked down the three. giving the team the biggest lead of the ball game. >> marcus: working on screens, first time, you don't see them. around, he will knock it down. >> barry: were the pac 10 tournament to start today, washington state and oregon. washington state, 18 points behind. we would have the same match up watching here on thursday, california would play the oregon state hooking up with washington, and that is if things don't change by the end of the weekend. but they probably will more than likely, they will be changing. some of the matchups, teams that have problems.

oregon state, early round game. >> barry: oregon has played well against washington. i think washington would assume to avoid oregon. >> marcus: yes. oregon swept washington in the opening weekend of pac 10 play. oregon, starting to show signs of life. down to l.a., usc, team that is performed well historically in the pacific life pac 10 tournament. >> barry: it is going to be so interesting. no team in the conference play has won more than four in a row. at least three in a row to win the sa the pac 10 tournament. >> marcus: to give you an idea how evenly balanced the conference s.

bobb >> marcus: good position. i am not sure what they are looking at on the monitor. not looking at whether or not it was an offensive foul or not. there are certain things you can go to the monitor and review. offensive foul is not one of those. you can go to see who shoots free throws, field goal attempts, game shot clock. >> barry: i think they are

lee and roll, doing most of the damage, lee, roll, and dragovic. >> marcus: arizona, nic wise, who hasn't had his head in the ball game so far. >> barry: long trey, and he drills it, kyle fogg. they will get hill. >> marcus: .7 left on the clock. >> barry: he went down hard. shaking it off. ubt about it here, the two, running up and down the floor. any doubt, you have to give him more space. the worst thing you can do going into halftime, with a team with all the momentum. ucla. >> barry: lee gets the first. >> marcus: those are some of the

defensive decision that is sean miller criticized his team b not exactly, talking about their defensive mindset and decision making, defensively. >> barry: with that is correct the first half will come to an end. not a good half for the wildcats, not able to get the crowd involved in the game. the bruins have lead from the the bruins have lead from the get-g leading by the break by the bruins have lead from the get-g leading by the break by expectant moms are especially encouraged to get both the h1n1 and seasonal flu va. geth can fight the flu.

>> barry: along the baseline, and a pull-up. >> marcus: such a great guy, there was signs of life from nic wise, who had three first half assists, drew a couple of defenders. and fogg for the three-point shot. >> barry: roll misses this one. williams, playing with three fouls, wise, all the way the other way. off balance, comes up short. roll yank its out of the air. dragovic thought about that. >> marcus: they relied on the screen that get along the baseline. they -- early shot in the possession. >> barry: dragovic, working on horne.

fallaway with the right hand. third on horne. with three, williams with three. things not looking rosy for the home team here. >> marcus: senior day, steps on a basketball, sprains an ankle. and a shoulder, poor range of motion in the shoulder, it doesn't affect his shooting, it is getting it bang and bumped during the course of a game. >> barry: he gets them both. an 11-point ucla lead. again. good look for three. missed that one. long. looked good leaves his hand. and now lee will take his time.

dragovic. now, honeycutt. and roll for three. and it will be out of bounds to arizona. >> marcus: well executed for ucla, on hand-offs, not a bad decision by mike roll, looks at the defender, open look. arizona has to do a better job. allow him to do his thing. how much more you will have him on the floor. with that foul trouble he had in the first half. someone has to take the game by the scruff of the neck if you are arizona. aggressive basketball, that is the mindset the wildcats have to have. >> barry: fogg with 12, doing his part. honeycutt, and another foul.

hill, his second. >> marcus: situation like tla, play position defense. he will make that. that runner going right off balance. vision, somewhat impaired. >> barry: lavender will come back into the arizona lineup. hill will leave. >> marcus: not a good decision from the position he was in. >> barry: you saw the number that is honeycutt puts up. they aren't, normous numbers, but there are a lot of them in every category.

>> marcus: i am watching tyler honeycutt, following the baseline runner all the way to the other side, and out of here. >> barry: a hand check. >> marcus: arizona state match up principles, the shot blocking ability, the long arms, great timing. side swipes lavender's shot into the backcourt. >> barry: lavender comes out with a hitch in his giddy-up. he will go to the bench. a quick time-out. i mean, just in time. called by sean miller that time. we will take a time-out. 45-34, bruins.

>> barry: the home team taking a beats from the ucla bruins, one correction, they gave an unadvertent foul to horne, he had two, not three. the pac 10, as of the moment, arizona state a winner tonight. they can still have a share of the pac 10 conference championship if they hold serve,

stanford and california on saturday. and action in the pac 10, washington, a six-point lead on oregon, and washington state, coming back on oregon state, six-point game, after an 18-point halftime differential. the follow-up by williams. >> marcus: shooting that ball in the middle of the floor. ucla zone. left you put the nail in arizona's casket, i haten to remind they were down with 11 points with 15 minutes to play. i think that is the fourth foul. >> barry: that is a huge key. >> marcus: they depend so much on this young man. 24 points, 6 rebounds at the

stanford game. the most consistent player, derrick williams, this season. i think this play warrants all-conference mention, freshman of the year, at the least, second team, maybe even first. >> barry: and he converts that is a big play. >> barry: he sit for white a while. horne back on the floor. he has does have two fouls, not three, they changed one from the first half. horne, down low, lee, back by honeycutt after that the tenth turnover, and dragovic, long one. got it. >> barry: horne, not taking care of it. and dragovic, at the other end, from deep. putting a lot of pressure on arizona to try to come up with

consistent offense every possession to get back in this game. >> biggest lead for ucla, and jones scores for arizona. >> marcus: jones' mom, in town. first time to see her son play. you know he is pumped, too pumped at this point. >> lee comes off limping. may have crashed knees with somebody. he comes off slowly. dragovic, line tups. and buries it!

>> barry: ucla has lead from the get-g. >> marcus: a bit of everything. great nose for the ball in terms of rebounding, and the ability to find shots, a terrific answer. over defenders. and the long arms, great timing. blocked shots. his future is so bright. he is the guy bad back injury, problems, hasn't been able to lift weights at all. he is behind everybody in terms of strength development, still a major contributor for ucla,

especially in the last couple of months. >> barry: makes up for it with his ability to play basketball. >> marcus: high basketball i "q." >> barry: couldn't get it to go. all but the finish. wise, coming the the other way. they need a spark from nic wise. >> marcus: they need it. i am not sure he has it in him. rely on mo-mo. >> barry: he will go to the free-throw line he is the guy playing with the passion, with that spark that you talk about. nic wise, try to give him his props at the start of the game. so far, has gone through the motions. >> barry: fourth foul on anderson. he will have to come out. and abdul hamid will come in. more importantly, williams, with four for arizona. >> marcus: showed the lineup at the end of the stanford game, you saw the freshmen and

sophomores on the floor. anderson, with four fouls t may have to be that youthful lineup that gets the team back in the game. horne, nic wise, not theirs. >> barry: foul underneath, i think they will get lane. >> marcus: ben howland. if you move left or right to get a better piece of the defensive player. they don't mind a couple of fouls like that, if you are getting a good, hard, aggressive pick. the officials are going to call each and every one. >> barry: he has williams back

on the floor with four foul, you have to think if ben howland will try to test him. behind a williams's three and gets one. >> marcus: shaking his head like finally. finally, something positive happening for me in this game. >> barry: now, they will look at this. >> marcus: second look to see if

12:30 pacific. lan, hethar senior atcalifornia, played through serious injuries, great student, great purpose. stanford, loaded. they are big. >> marcus: pick up the intensity at the defensive end of the floor. they can smell a comeback in this game. >> barry: we mentioned earlier, down 11 with 15 minutes to play.

stanford. now, seven on the shot clock. anderson, throws up a prayer, it won't go. didn't touch the rim. >> marcus: that was an outstanding defensive sequence by the arizona wildcats. >> barry: they are on an 11-5 run. ben howland will use all the time-outs that he feels his team needs. they will take a full time-out here. kyle fogg, doing it tonight. making a career. >> marcus: got the feet set. nice job with the elevation. ucla, kyle fogg.

arizona. >> barry: had his career high against the bruins, 19 in the second half, the last time they hooked up. eight-point ball game. without question, stranger things have happened. we mentioned they came back with 15 minutes left, 12:15 remaining in the game, 11 down. trailed by four, with 2:26 left, won it on a buzzer beater by jones. >> marcus: we talk about a great defensive play, stanford. i like the fact that sean miller with the offensive and defensive positions, running them in and out. to win this game, he will need williams to play a major role down the stretch. >> barry: he already reached his career high, and his team, back in it here, with an opportunity to cut it to six or less.

>> marcus: last offensive possession, sean miller with that foul, trying to save it as long as he can. >> barry: backing out. now, jump out. and mo-mo jones, in traffic, trying to leave t threw it away. >> marcus: in trouble at times. trying to do too much. that was one of those situations. >> barry: fogg to cut. wasn't really supposed to be. that was ruled another opportunity. the crowd for the first time in this game, starting to get involved. >> marcus: the body of the offensive player, makes plays. >> barry: williams went down hard.

williams comes up gimpy as well. we will keep an eye on it.

>> barry: ucla leads it by eight. the big news right now, the condition of t.

like someone took an ice pick and jabbed in the joint. >> barry: you saw him limp off earlier. he has had problems with leg cramp, that is the issue for him. >> marcus: ucla, lee, played in this game. feverishly trying to get the main cogs back out on the floor. >> barry: anderson is on the floor playing with four fouls, on the bench with four fouls. travel. wise. >> marcus: tough, tough night for the senior, nic wise. four coaches in four years, the only senior on this club. the nba last year, put his name

n took it out after he didn't get the response he wanted. they depend on him to do so. >> barry: and on the arizona bench, williams, able to move that knee. trying to flex it. get it loose right now. roll. >> marcus: defensive breakdown. it remines me, the freshman o-- >> barry: deep corner! >> marcus: have to battle through t nic wise. you are a senior. you have to find a way to make it happen. >> barry: keeping contact now. that is effective.315z

good job, and he stepped on the sideline. >> marcus: anderson, almost. the same thing he did against oregon, in the bruin loss. nic wise, using the big foot. corner, knocked down a shot. keep it going. few and far between, roll, hard off the rim. and wise, out for jones. fogg, once more, can he do it?

yes! >> marcus: jerime anderson, he has knocked down everything, you allow him to shoot a wide open shot, at this stage of the game. >> i don't think so. fint ame. are bac >> barry: arizona as close as it has been in a long, long time.

14 points on 5 of 6 shooting, four treys in a row. and good news for ucla, lee, preparing to come into the ball game. not in the game yet. at the scorer's table. they got the cramps to subside, got some fluid into him. this is honeycutt, big possession here. dragovic, no, short. and horne, the rebound. >> marcus: how far to carry the team offensively. the responsibility of mike roll on the perimeter, a lot of wear and tear on his legs, how much he will have left down the stretch. >> barry: jones at the free-throw line. he will go to the line. dag vick on the foul. >> marcus: fouling a jump

shooter. that is all you need to do. a little extra reach by dragovic, draws the contact, it is jones to the free-throw line. >> barry: the first. williams. on his feet that time. i suspect we will see him back. >> marcus: got four fouls, you don't want him fouling out. dragging the leg around. on the floor. >> barry: now, a three-point ball game, as close as arizona has been. since six minutes to go in the first half.

23-20. >> barry: leave for lane, and loose ball, picked up by jones. here comes the cats, pull-up at the free-throw line. his mom in the stands, up on her feet! what a screen by dag vick on wise. maybe that will snap him out of it! >> barry: 9-0 run for the cats. >> marcus: three after that one. >> barry: honeycutt, down low, roll is there, cannot get it. the putback, no, and a foul. >> marcus: good defensive sequence again. giving up the offensive rebound. jones, shows off for momma.

not a good look for the bruins on that possession. >> barry: at the line, lee for a pair. both teams in double bonus from here on. wise behind the double screen. and dragovic, all the way. and foul lane out same play he scored on before.

>> marcus: that one is for you, mom a. >> barry: i love how hard he plays. >> marcus: a verbal commitment, recruiting from back east. looking for the point guard of the future. >> barry: may have him in the present. >> marcus: may already have him. >> barry: time-out situation. each team with one. unusual for ben howland. >> marcus: oregon, i think -- he relies on the television

time-outs, and the other team's time-outs. >> barry: the fellow there with the towel in his hand that is reev reeves, that eye is still black. the other eye is causing the problems. >> barry: that makes it a two-possession game. >> barry: rebound. honeycutt. a 30-second time-out. a nice job hanging in the air.

it is not off the rim. hold on, tap it n the ball cleared the rim. >> marcus: elsewhere around the pac 10 conference tonight. point out a couple of stars, quincy pondexer, a cunningham, the freshman from northern liioralnasu signee, they had to hold on to beat washington state. again, you see that in the middle. now, oregon state with a chance. we will be there on saturday for that one. right now, washington state and oregon in that game. >> marcus: you don't need a foul

here, just need to play out. arizona, take as much time off the clock as you can. >> barry: a 21-second difference between game and shot clock. the bruins -- nice pass. it was wise again!v >> marcus: defensive breakdown for ucla. >> what a great job, rifle the ball down low. >> barry: williams, might have gotten a piece of that right back to dragovic, off the window, gets one to go. >> marcus: now, a foul. ucla has the foul. >> barry: they got dragovic intentional before the ball is inbounded. >> barry: probably the ball game.

>> marcus: dragovic can't believe it. ben howland was signalling for the team to foul right away. he meant after the ball was inbounded. dragovic. he will go over, and -- commit the obvious before the ball. you have to wait for the ball is inbound, and the pass is made. in williams's direction. >> barry: williams knocks it down. they will maintain possession, no matter what happens here. that is a big one. >> marcus: a gray area in that call. finishes allowed that to help, didn't call the intentional foul. the officials got together, and cleaned up the interpretation on that rule. in that situation.

they know it is obvious, made the proper call. >> barry: the cats maintain possession, get it in to nic wise, foul him. 12.3 remaining, it is a four-point game. >> marcus: if arizona can hold on here, just a great battle back win for this team. it looked like their energy level, the way they played the first half, the body language, i had serious doubts as to whether or not they could pull it out. >> fogg had a career high, 26. beats his career high of 25 the last time they hooked up. jones tied his career high, 16. which he had the last game. 14 of which in the second half. now nic wise with nine in the second half. he got that wake-up call. >> marcus: he did. solid plays and stepped up nic wise, defensively, to find no

fault in his effort at that end of the floor. >> barry: and of course, the great pass from jones. a two-possession lead. they have been the best free throw shooting team in the conference. struggled in the first half. down the stretch, they made them. that is one of the difference was this this game. >> barry: knocked down a three. 6.3 seconds. not quite in the books yet. >> marcus: one guy you don't want to allow the ball to be inbounded to. a pretty good job by nic wise, creating space and contact. springing himself free for that entry pass, waiting on the foul to be committed. >> dave: the wildcats making a career out of coming from behind late in the second half. double digit deficit twice, deep into the second half. >> marcus: nic wise able to put together a decent game. seven assists, big one, mo-mo

jones. credit for two at that point. >> williams by 16 minutes with four fouls. very good substitution pattern for sean miller to keep him in the game excellent job. >> barry: and this one is in the books, arizona will win it. final score, arizona 78, ucla, 73. take a look at our alberto beef jerky play of the game. the one you spoke of. the pass, from wise to jones. >> marcus: a nice job,

their defense at the other end of the floor, the eight eight minutes of the game was outstanding. >> barry: that is a wrap for us here in tucson. 78-73, arizona wins it over 78-73, arizona wins it over ucla. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com

>> the model distributes a 97% of the resources i received of the health care budget. 97% is distributed out there. there is always done even this between the differences that that we come back in it go through the adjustment process of up and down. the 3% held in reserve is intended to take care of operations. but the majority is what the model has put out there. we provided the money's out

there and provide the negotiation but they are little short in it issue may be in this case there is opportunity to make trade with them. >> i just want to think again the undersecretary to work with the city of chattanooga identify and properties that may be available and the efforts to hold the property and tell which time the virginia can expand the but national secretary and the undersecretary is responsive and i am grateful to that. chairman i might slip out. nothing against mr. farr. but they do for your presence today. >> you have my thoughts on the energy committee thank you for your time. i will not do a thain by

unanimous consent that would undermine it veterans' care in tennessee of your absence. the vice-chairman of our committee is here in nine no a remembers have had multiple hearings this morning and this afternoon but they give for your leadership on the subcommittee on like to recognize you. we have to three rounds for whatever time you would like to have. >> thank you very much. with your support of your veterans of this country it is good to have the general secretary, mr. shinseki here for this year in. day sharing. i am interested in job attrition and the whole issue in the school feeding program started by harry truman to grow healthy kids

so they can be qualified to give in to the military. an incredible percentage of use cannot qualify because of obesity. we're trying to raise healthier soldiers were healthy veterans. we appreciate your leadership. we discussed a lot of the questions wondering how to get people off the streets redoing wonderful job locally paid for homeless shelters they are really helping people get back into recovery. we have had difficulty in communicating with the call center because it is in different time zones. it was mentioned in my

office have you extended extended-- considered extending the west coast office to accommodate the west coast veterans? >> who have a better answer when we have implemented it. but that is a good point* that the call center services need to address the time difference is in the large country of ours and we will do better at that. >> thank you because i do appreciate where you have done with the administrative backlog i appreciate the leadership wreck of the other that fed chairman is sick and tired of hearing about that is why they all left because they knew i would bring it up but when the largest military training base closed and two this state's largest to close in the history of the

country, 28,000 acres and 33,000 people. what we tried to do with all that land that the dod own to transfer back to the community is build a national cemetery. but because the monterey peninsula where california government began the oldest area that is still operational that exist, we have a history of military there to this day with postgrad day and up languages is two and a bunch of other service programs going on, in the san joaquin valley within seven name bios as the crow flies they are not eligible because it is a geographical restriction. we have a look at the 70-mile radius and suggest we can squeeze it looking at

the entire coast of california from san francisco because of the cemetery at the san joaquin valley has the support services the closest community is a truck stop not even the inc. community. cited a town hall meeting last night of she said my husband died 12 years ago i have his ashes in my closet. can i bury him a monterey because i don't want to go over. that is what i hear over and over. what i am asking is it did not go but cemetery until you fully build a one in existence of the plan is

ready to go we tried to a plan the state be but california is now building cemetery's. wish they were. your home state i think has nine cemeteries but california has decided not to go back route to. it is not partisan but they have decided their priority is in the housing of soldiers in retirement homes in rest homes if they put a lot of that federal money into that issue if not to maintaining state cemeteries. we're doing a plan see. i would really appreciate it if you look at this a lot of talk is been things that occurred we would really appreciate your help.

>> i will look at this burst of a very closely. looking at where we are i think you're looking at the encouragement to the virginia as you indicated i think that will not happen that will go back and look at this and see if there is a solution we can come to that doesn't have a circle on it that looks like an elliptical that you suggest limit we have the property and the master plan for the cemetery bill to federal national standards. we are shut already. if we could just get authorization and 70 we could go. >> coby on the ground in

monterey this month and will make it a point* to look at this. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you samberg go but may correct for the record of one point* will never get tired of hearing you fight for the veterans of your district and state. my mentor and this public service business was a gray world war ii veteran. and was buried at arlington national cemetery. the most decorated world war ii veteran to service the house during his hair and i know before he died how proud he was that he was going to be buried in arlington and i know those same deep emotions exist among some veterans when it comes to being buried at the sacred land of the v.a. secretary. please keep up that guy.

>> last question with the virginia health care system, anecdotally, i sometimes hear from individual hospitals that while they are passing 10 or 11 are 12% per year, vha increases nationally that the individual hospital allocations are only coming up o one, two, three, 4% hof. i know some of that answer if correct may lie and the fact we have the a programming many come about nablus like to rescue or the vha leadership if you have any information right now committee the very specific for general to tell me over the last two or three years compared to the total vha

increase 10 or 12%, what are the hospitals on average been getting? if they are not getting 10 or 12% to reflect the national increase then where is that extra money going? to follow up with greater detail in writing after this year at -- hearing is over that would be appreciated. >> for all of the leadership out there in the health care facilities cover the to assure them that the model is a starting point* 97% of resources are distributed, 3% are contained at the vha level.

the average funding growth is 10%. the average growth tata across the point*. >> what period of time? >> 2009 through 2010, this year budget. out of that 10 percent average the portion that is above or below and the lowest at 5.3% of an increase in 2009/2010 and would be happy to give more detailed and permission. and some of the businesses said received a greater plus up was because of special thing is under way.

>> you have that information mr. secretary, hospital by hospital basis? >> i am sure we can probably get it for 2010 provides a we have distributed the money but now they are doing the same saying it is put their cash to their hospitals and they will go through the process of negotiating. and they will have a lock. we will have the in the process for so that is the break up. i may have been answered or provided more it in your me should then you wanted me to provide that the b.c. if he has anything to add.

thank you, mr. chairman secretary. mr. chairman with the budget with the average distribution 2010 was 10%. that is the average. distributing the money it were the work has been so if a network has been growing in terms of its work it will probably receive more than the average and if a network has been growing less than the average will have them receive less than the 10 percent the same thing would apply to a medical center. they're medical centers in our system who is not a growing but actually declining. and there are some saying one are too our 5% with the national distribution on average was 10%.

i think the general answer is the workload of the individual medical centers. another network did not hold on too any money they have a modest reserved all of the money they get is distributed to the medical centers. and there is programs pacific many that comes as an example 5.7% was the increase in vera but other percentage that was for the other moneys. think the general point* is the money goes to the medical center's it is not captain washington or and the networks because they have nothing to spend it on particularly for take care of veterans.

the disparities that one sees of distribution of the medical centers is mostly related to the work. >> it makes sense the virginia has the flexibility to send the money to work is going on and the growth. if you have the number of veterans receiving health care, it is there a two year or three year delay in the models reflecting the actual check's going to that region reflecting the increase in the veteran population? >> the vera distribution is based on historic data i would have to turn, i think it is 18 months? correct? vera is based on a rolling average of four quote prior to that. yes. there is a delay that requires a network to give some cognizance to them when they're distributing the

money. >> would imagine end that creates challenges appear in the area of the country with a significant increase its those are real costs incurred with those that you were planning for i guess to they have reserved or cut corners or stretch in whatever way they can to maintain services? >> mr. chairman there are several ways. in the network that i came from in my prior life in minneapolis, we had new workload and set aside money each year and would fund incremental the each of the medical centers for the new workload. i know others that function that faction there is a reserve and every network and the opportunity for the medical center.

i know each network reviews monthly for the reviews and funding so there are opportunities throughout the year to see the funding is not adequate to provide additional resources. i am not aware of any facility having difficulties for the workload. we have enough money it is just a matter of getting it to the right places. you said that part of the increase of funding, does that come the first quarter, a second quarter? i heard this is anecdotal feedback and that can be dangerous. i don't want to drive to many conclusions but does that money generally that

congress designates this, does that program become sometimes later in the year and can you use the money as effectively as the formula money? for example, i wonder if the program for women health care, i can you hire physicians or a hospital hire physicians not knowing of the program money will continue? or is program many with the plus or minus is? >> we receive their appropriation in december and early february. we are selling things out that is why we're a little late in our negotiation but it is under way for rightfully said directors

are little concerned to get their hands on their funds. it is out there now and then negotiation is under way although we are a little late on the cycle for the new starts it to be up to two years as a dr. petzel indicates there are internal procedures for deepening the impact from the o model fists it makes 18 months third two years with the new set of cost. there are internal work around some dr. petzel and has great familiarity with that they need to be

sensitive that the directors are heard they're coming up to give a midyear execution brief on the funds provided so was some of the same feedback. >> certainly the virginia cannot be held responsible if congress does not pass appropriations bills on time. that is why we have those out. of the program funding it is always well-intentioned for higher priority causes, but is the more difficult to use efficiently with the individual hospital is not sure it will receive that money beyond one year? have you hire new doctors and nurses and make commitments with one-year program many of you don't know or is some of that program money basically, not

guaranteed for the future but predicted bolsa you can make some long-term commitments? >> barry -- generally speaking to years issue the opportunity to have vera kick in this new initiative. so sitting in this position now decide do not want to assume with offending with most of the new initiatives, that is an excellent example. we have rolled some of that into 2010 from 2009 because it is difficult to get it spends.

to make sure that is taking care of until vera kicks in. >> all right. mr. secretary? did you want to add to that are not? >> i think dr. petzel answer the question. looking at statistics. >> let me conclude by thanking you for your time today and especially for your leadership for the virginia. while we anecdotally hear about cases someone did not receive the care he or she deserved, my experience overwhelmingly is our va employees whether the h. j. j., or at other divisions are dedicated hardworking employees and get up every day to find and how they can support the veterans why they are in the va system.

i want to save the 200,000 plus be a employees that you represent for the hard work they do every day and the difference they make in the lives of our veterans. mr. secretary, would you like to have the final word? we will adjourn. >> simply to thank you once again for your leadership of your longstanding it with your commitment and dedication to those who have served our veterans. and your insights with the feedback you receive but not just what you received as a member of congress from texas for baller across the nation and i appreciate that.

and thank you to the comments of the 300,000 employees of this great institution called the department of veterans affairs. the little that i have learned about this organization is described as the second largest of federal government. that has some importance but more importantly in is the work force outcomes to work every day trying to do the right thing are responsible as far as i mentioned earlier $9,000,000,000.5 it is 65,000 veterans who are pursuing a dream which i think is important for the country and the veterans to be sure and important for the country. the work force in the va is the eighth largest insurance

entity in this country. $1.3 trillion of coverage for over 7 million clients. it guarantees home loans to one point* 3 million veterans to the tune of $175 billion and has 96% it has a higher response from them but the highest foreclosure rates 78 institution of this country. what this organization does with 153 hospitals angry research programs that will serve veterans four years to come. but the ability to be effective is this what from

congress permits and thank you for your leadership helping us to meet those obligations to our veterans to make it is a privilege everyday mr. secretary. were good stories aren't often told on the national level thank you for sharing some of the tremendous things that the va is doing is we're were together to face the challenges better still out there. thank you for being here and the subcommittee is adjourned. blblblblblblblblblblblblblblblbl

>> rajiv shah can you give us the status of the directive on global development policy? most specifically a plan can we receive the findings and will they be made public? >> yes. thank you, mr. chairman for those questions. the ku day d.r. has completed the first phase of work structured around day broad said of the exploratory conversations related to five core working group topic areas relating to how the united states projects is power bandits to the element capacities around the world. as we transition we're in the process of transitioning to a series of operationally more oriented task force that will address specific topics like how we improve our ability to do policy planning or develop real systems for accountability and budgeting and how we

help our country admission to develop a long-term investment strategies for development and diplomacy and have the flexibility to garner more effectively with the private sector with sources of innovation with country governments themselves. the results of those four specific operational coverage should be available in april or may time frame and at this point* we do hope to help a deep an ongoing conversation both about the content of the qddr as well as learning from the committees in congress about the range of views on the middle -- core issues and that is the ongoing process but one that has shifted from a larger strategic conversation to a more focused said of operational discussions. the presidential said the directive is making the same transition after having completed a series of work that brought together 60 near 18 different agencies

throughout the federal government to discuss ideas and concepts and a more open space related to the future development that is now transitioning into a more operational focus to come up with specific contrast to define that two of the strategy's going forward. these to come together in a number of different ways that not the least of which we participate also key individuals that are part of these that are the same individuals. >> ptsd? when do you think? you mentioned april. the national i.d.'s what about psd? >> i don't think qddr will be complete in april but have enough specifics to be a serious consultation on a set of ideas within that timeframe. on the psd i should not

speak on behalf of the national security council by think they can have a more specific timeline and we can come up with a more specific answers. >> in order to fund the haiti relief effort you had to borrow money across the globe. everyone understands the overwhelming needs in haiti, but the fact is these transfers have created some hard chips and delays on the grant a share on the ground in other countries such as sudan and congo what is being done two make sure other emergencies are not neglected in order to redress the tragedy in haiti? bereday agrees to that question and i about believe the bid is its cover has committed more than $600 million to the efforts in haiti and as you point* out, a large percentage of that has come from the account that provides flexible and rapid funding

we will seek the supplemental to a refund of the ida account is fully as possible. we have been in close contact with their other partners and have asked them not to do they are slowdown program implementation working in the assumption those additional resources will arrive prior to this june timeframe which was when we would have to start making the trade offs and we would not have to make. i am aware partners may have to do that we have tried to reach go to those to say they should not slowed down programs three expect the supplemental to reconstitute ida. >> you assume the assumption of my a question is wrong. there has not been deprivation and other areas as a result of the transfer? >> that is correct. partners have reached out asking if they should be

retried to correct the misperception right away. >> my time is expired the ranking member is recognized. >> thank you. i went to the china haiti and the west bank and gaza. with the imprisonment of u.s. citizens alan gross that aid programs in cuba may have come to a standstill of we could give a commitment from you you, doctor that paid well continue to carry out democracy programs in cuba and following up on the chairman's question in haiti, how should the cost of a recovery responds and long term developments be shared among donor countries? what portion of the overall aid effort for haiti in the coming years should the u.s. be expected to provide?

10%, 20 percent, whatever figures you think. on the west bank and gaza the administration has requested over $400 million in economic support funds for the west bank and gaza but as we have seen, there has been a lot of stealing of those funds. it has not been managed well. what kind of venting to we have a place to ensure the finding does not benefit fly lent extremist or corrupt officials but instead the intended targets? what metrics are using to see that we can accomplish what we seek to do with the funding? thank you sir. >> thank you. i appreciate those questions. on key but in particular rican strongly confirm with our commitments and priorities we have taken a number of steps to address the needs for i have been a direct contact with the partner with whom he was

contacted to work with and we've worked with other partners to ensure that given good challenging travel situation that they come up with alternative solutions to execute and implement the programs and we're giving them the flexibility to do that. we're committed to seeing through the program. on haiti i appreciate your plans there as well. we have been approximately half of the early relief effort. a large part of that is the department of defense and a large cost including some of marines and the effort to rebuild the port. we're mission critical early activities requiring others to come in and threw recovery reconstructions expects that percentage will go down significantly and working with the range of major bilateral partners but also the world bank to make sure there is a strong plan

going forward of station build-up the donor's conference later this month and the u.s. assistance is targeted and a far more modest percentage of the overall needs. it is a small percentage but the leadership will be critical and technical support and the deeper engagement will be continued and unwavering. on the world bank and gaza i appreciate the question as well. as you know, we have systems for both attracting partners and betting partners. the partner betting system involves the specific identification of names of partners in the bolsa database tracking system and we bet that very carefully that has been in place more than two years. on the cash tracking we have a system in place for more than four years earlier supporting and reauthorize specific disbursements from the palestinian authority

that resources are transferred quite closely from a big dent israel to a special treasury account and the palestinian banking system then it flows out of their matured on a case-by-case basis. there is a strong system in place to track cash-flow as well. of the budget request to win for reduced too really focus on doing specific work that will achieve real the outcomes and infrastructure and health and humanitarian support and i am happy to describe as some of the things we have done happen successful with the 60 kilometers of road, funding schools that are operational and promoting at broad-based health system in the region that is reaching many, many more people in need and we will continue to track those outcomes closely but we have special system so we work with partners and the flow of cash. >> thank you so much the emphasis should be that it

is a transparent and accountable system of aid that is not corrupted by the corrupt officials of the west bank and gaza. thank you, mr. chairman and dr. shah. >> i yield five minutes to the gentleman from new jersey, mr. payne's. >> may also commend you for the outstanding job they you have done in haiti also i wish we did not have good that i remember we have a balanced budget when president clinton left however a war in iraq that is unnecessary and tax cuts put this in the position we are in today and for today. let me say about the global fund, icu cut 50 million from that fund and wonder if you look at that because as you know, the

150 million -- although you are dealing with the most neglected such as sleeping sickness, charges from the disease in some of the other disfiguring others are not covered i wonder if they could be included in that. three governance groups quickly with some of if the transition of federal government, i wonder would there be significant increase in development aid because we have to support this government or in my opinion will be a very serious problems. if they fall all of these african nations in my opinion will go. second come three concentrating enough on the

south sudan if yen too any 11 they decide to see? how will we support the new government with additional funds? and finally liberia needs to have to have a strong institution if we have institutions that were quote like south africa and fail. looking at liberia that historical relationship is important and how remaking out with however, and the coordination with back? with that i will stops you can answer the questions. >> thank you, mr. chairman chairman, the global fund in particular that is in the context of the health initiative we're committed to the initial increases against global health and

using those resources that are more effective against the lagging indicator like newborn and obstetric care and we're working with the global fund with immunization and vertical programs do accelerate the partnerships between them and get more value out of the overall investment. the administration request of the global fund is $1 billion because it includes the treasury component and really very committed to helping the global fund this exceed. the global tropical diseases i will look specifically into those cases. that is a unique area we have been in discussions with private partners to rick's celebrate public-private partnerships to meet the overall needs as they have been delineated by the who and others and that is very much higher priority of the global health initiative. somalia in terms of the increase development's assistance most assistance

is humanitarian at this point*. we continue to be in the world food program to explore when it can be done we can use that development assistance in a strategic manner i will follow-up more specifically on what we can do too be more expansive in that context. we have $95 million for the referendum and support for the referendum and rear doing a series of with respect to capacity building in southern sudan. the mission in the region unlike other partners even multilateral partners that are trying to serve for their way, we feel we are very well positioned to play a critical role should the needs arise. we're doing contingency planning around that and also identify what type of budget flexibility we would have but we think there is an important role to leave

the avert and bringing other donors and multilateral institutions to the mission of the early outcome of the 2011 referendum. take your comments as guidance and on africom i personally visited them this summer and have to continue that conversation spirit the time has expired. this gentleman from texas is recognized for five minute. >> they key for being here. i am over here. on you're far right. first of all, i would like to commend the workers in the field of usaid. i have travelled like everyone else, all over there the greatest ambassadors for the united states and freedom that we have those people in the field.

and i know usaid is developing all kinds of things that are most recently the farmers down there at texas a&m invented the soybean that yields nine times what it used to yield four afghanistan's of that the farmers in afghanistan don't have to raise poppy they can raise soybeans ever invented at texas a&m. that is good but i am concerned about being good stewards of money. last week we had before us the special inspector general for iraq reconstruction, he said in reconstruction of iraq there was $4 billion and accounted for perk right ask him which about agencies in iraq from the united states by gas has

the worst record of accountability? he says the state department of course, the example used was the 2.5 billion dollars that went to dine corporate to train police officers and there is no records. we have no record of where that 2.5 billion dollars went. i am concerned about the accountability of money we send gasol asked about this some of that money turned up in the hands of the enemies like al qaeda and he mentioned there were 14,000 weapons that disappeared from our position to somewhere else. that troubles me when men and women are a new form overseas trying to protect us and big guns that we shipped over and up in their hands because of our federal agencies are not good stewards of the money. if you want to increase in the budget 50 million americans unemployed it

seems to be with some country is in trouble of course, they call 1800 usaid to help them out. that is what we do in this country. the government is the most giving of any in history. but i would like due to specifically address this problem of accountability. and how do we know that this money broke be accounted for? that thieves will not steelworker contractors robust do it, and the bad guys will not end up with some of that aid that we send to foreign countries? similar to a question is the ranking member addressed in other parts of the world. how about that, dr. shah? [laughter] >> thank you sir. they do for your comments about our staff and all sort

knowledge of our foreign service nationals in that context to make us awfully proud. also want to address your comments about texas a&m we're proposing and an increase in other cultural to comment to meet the needs of the priority of these countries with food security with respect to iraq reconstructions the contract to refer to, are reported to out for usaid we have a shift in strategy were really moving to supporting the election of coming in providing real support to the government and the health system meeting basic human needs and the needs of ibp populations also more aggressively pursuing matching fund requirements to make sure resources are being matched by the government of iraq and we have a strong financial accountability better track very closely in that context. >> excuse me, dr. shah.

are these accounting procedures and do? or are they the same ones? >> many of them are new over the course of the next year. there are four basic strategies we use to track it insure accountability. it is my eighth priority to make them more transparent. one of them is to have rigorous systems to make sure we only work with those partners especially in afghanistan and pakistan where we can track resources to have effectiveness in the spending. second is capacity building with management and procurement systems. 1/3 is on monitoring and 1/4 is on auditing which reduced in the multiple system. >> thank you dr. shah my time has expired. >> mr. makes it is recognized. >> i commend you for all of your efforts especially in

helping haiti with the aftermath after the devastating earthquake. you talk about how complex it is in dealing with haiti. how would first like to ask a question can you describe for us the international aspect of the effort to help haiti? i am interested in the coordination of effort, of funds come with who was leading that effort and rodrigo from here? 40 canada haitian government play and how do we support that is what has the capacity so it takes more of the responsibility? there were a number of the international committee is calling for the haiti marshall plan. i myself have put in a resolution calling for the haiti marshall plan but i would like to know the thoughts on whether not we do need to do that and whether he needs a marshall plan.

then i want to ask also in the short time that we have, about afro latinos in the western hemisphere. you know, the obama administration has finalize the signing of the west's columbia to join the action plan on racial and ethnic equality and we have one in brazil i am also asking to get the report on this weekend continue to follow that. we're still making progress. over the years i have requested our appropriated from the usaid that funds specific read directed to help marginalized communities in latin america and those are not to the indigenous populations. can you tell me about your plans to address the plight of the african totino's in the indigenous populations and heavy prioritize the plants from the budget prospective? finally, briefly, i am also concerned about trade

capacity dollars. are there any plans to more comprehensively coordinate trade capacity across the various apartments and agencies that have these funds? the proposed we have an office for coordination and i would like to know your thoughts of this function. >> thank you for those comments and questions. i will start with haiti. the international aspect is being led by the government of haiti working with the internationally recognized system of u.n. clusters established sector by sector. we played a key role in each of the clusters in directly with the government of haiti although in some cases like rubble removal for the establishment of safe places and advancing were the floods are coming in or water distribution per correct times three fell to the clusters needed more support we have stepped in to offer more capacity are directed leadership from the military's civilian partnership and haiti. that is our it is being

coordinated on the international aspect. moving for the haitian government has had a plan most recently unveiled last spring been revised and updated last fall which was based on a decentralization of the population of side at port-au-prince a creating vibrant economic opportunities and centers outside port-au-prince. we expect them to unveil of that plan in a more specific plan of the upcoming donors' conference and believe it does constitute the groundwork for a very strong reconstruction effort that will hopefully go back a more firebrand and the effective the economy, governance system and ability to meet human needs importer prince or to the majority population outside port-au-prince. in terms of your comments of afro latinos and the western hemisphere is absolutely true and complete the recognized by our agency

that those marginalized communities are disproportionately suffering on health and human indicators of well-being it is throughout the hemisphere. that is a clear and statistically straightforward point*. we'll come back to more specifically how our budget addresses that. but in our efforts to redress food security and basic health we are disproportionately targeting those marginalized populations and how that plays out in terms of budget numbers i will come back more specifically. on trade capacity building and coordination, i do believe we need more effective coordination in the context. we have been a part of that as a study directive and in the food security initiative to explore how we can improve the integration of the trade policy, investments and and high-value agriculture to get more bang for the buck and development spending.

>> the time for the gentleman has expired and mr. smith is recognized. >> mr. -- dr. shah 12 years ago i initiated the effort of the whole issue of autism at a few time when little people were paying attention it created to the centers of excellence several the provision for the cbc and we quickly found we may have an epidemic of one out of 100 children have autism zero or parts of the ass burger spectrum. on focusing of the international elements of autism and to my not shocked and other people's dismay have realized we have the global epidemic of autism. working with ngos poland comment ireland, trying to combat a deficiency of

lending. lots of thought and could expertise by lack of lending. i have introduced legislation h.r. 18781 year ago for a small program and also the teaching asking if you look at a closer look at the ngos to assist the ngos some of the people involved with the ngos there could be as many nigerians that have what is some sort ask you to take a good hard look and provide some assistance there. you talk about instability from rapid population growth and i would respectfully request to take a second look at the issue of population in places all over europe, russia and the u.n. estimates by 205025%

lower population that that that currently exist in russia the same way with all of the eastern european countries. we see a depopulation trend. the reason why there predict continues to grow israel living longer. it is not about birth but the other side of the spectrum. in south korea they are so far below replacement japan has the same problem they're looking at is serious is proportionality when it comes to workers and those of the other end of the spectrum receiving benefits. you're underlying assumption has been surpassed in many ways by 80 population trend that is very injurious to individual countries. and in china where the abortions has led to gender side as 1 billion messing -- missing girls whole other problem has developed a there. as many as 40 million then will not be able to find

wives because they are dead as a result of one jintao her couple policy. and gender selection look at the underlying selections of population growth. there's a depopulation trend very dangerous. hi push very hard at former member usaid on building of the ability to meet with israel nablus where they have obstetric this tool of getting this surgeries that are low cost and high impact giving the women heard life back. i have been to the hospital and other obstetrics hospitals can you give us assurance you will natalee continue that money come 212 million at the time but hopefully significantly expand it? i yield. >> thank you for those comments and questions. on autism, would be happy to look at the ngos you are
