protect that civilian infrastructure? >> senator, it is hard for me to answer that hypothetical. what i can say is right now, particularly with the financial institution sector, we have a lot of cooperation. whether we have the authority of command and control ultimately in the event of attack, no, that would be something that needs to be looked at legislatively picket so hypothetically the government could be aware of an attack that was taking place but be unable to do anything and ask the government to respond and head off that? >> again, i am reluctant to enter the hypothetical as opposed, because in those extreme events, my experience over the last years as secretary, the world would

definitely be a better, more clear and focused place if we had a basic cyber statute to work from. >> i will leave it at that. >> thank you, chairman. >> senator whitehouse has worked a great deal on this. there is a meeting this afternoon with some of us on cybersecurity and we passed a bill out of this committee. there are other committees, intelligence, commerce, and others that have evolved. i am not as concerned -- obviously i am concerned, we have to be, but i am not concerned now that somebody is going to try to hijack a passenger plane as much as i am what happens when it it is the middle of the winter, it ranges

from 10 above to 30 below zero in the northeast and all the power grids are shut off. you are talking about hundreds of thousands of people who could die at any time. what happens if air traffic control is turned off? not only the images given to the rest of the world but the huge, huge commercial disruption, plus the very real possibility of loss of life, depending on where the planes are and where the weather is. these are things we have to look at, communications, the phones all go dead. we move trillions of dollars worth of commercial activities a day in this country and overseas. it closes down here, it's closed down overseas.

these are things we have to worry about. in the old days, you worry about someone going and being a bank robber. now they rob the bank from 10,000 miles away and get a lot more money. >> if i could add, it is not only the risk of cyber sabotages to our critical infrastructure and finance and the electronic grid and communications, the places that you mentioned, it is also the question of the private sector's intellectual property being stolen and that siphoned out through the internet by some of our major international competitors in order to avoid either having to pay licensing fees or to do their own research and development, how much more easy it is to pack into an american corporation's database and siphoned out their trade

secrets and rebuild a factory of your own. it is being done by the terabyte. we are on the losing end of the single greatest transfer of wealth through piracy and illicit behavior in the history of humankind, and we are doing awfully little about it. i hope to hear a stronger clarion call from the secretary about the urgency of passing this legislation and the kind of change it can make it could get it passed. >> remember, a lot of this -- a lot of these attacks are state- sponsored. everybody wants to dance around that, but some of it is state- sponsored. that is a form of warfare. >> i just wanted to clarify, senator, i hope my answer did not suggest to you at all that

we don't do this as urgent legislation. we do. the department has participated in 80 someone briefings about the need for legislation. we have testified 20 different times about the need for the legislation. we have participated heavily in the drafting of the legislation. we obviously believe there is an urgent need for the legislation. i was interpreting your question as what are you doing now and how are you getting pie? the plain fact of the matter is that our authorities, our jurisdiction and moving forward, the path will be much more clear, and there is an urgent need for legislation in this regard. i am hopeful now that both chambers have been addressing this that this is one area where the congress is able to move. >> it did sound a bit tepid, so

i am glad to clarify remarks, and i appreciate it. i understand that we are going to have the votes here so i will wrap this up. i will have questions for you about the security community's task force. i want to have a written response about how dhs handles cases of u.s. citizens arrested and detained by ice. i would like statistics on all u.s. citizens arrested under secure communities, the duration of their custody, and the resolution of these cases. i thank you very much. do you want to add anything else? >> no, mr. chairman, i have enjoyed being the witness here today. >> that would fall under an understatement. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman.

in washington, d.c. current and former government workers were on hand, including kathleen sebelius. he was a u.s. senator from 1969 to 1996. he served as the senate republican leader. this is 50 minutes. >> many of us wish that you were still a leader in the u.s. senate. right? [applause] how wonderful it would be to see

senator dole working his magic in the united states senate today. i remember 1983. i had just been elected to the congress for the first time. i was looking over my shoulder, wondering how hard senator dole might come at me in the next election, out in kansas. interestingly, the first tough vote that we have was the social security reform of 1983. i often think back to that time and compare it to today. the social security trust fund was bankrupt. they were saying that checks would be laid by april or may. everyone was a little nervous. and that is putting it mildly. many people were just terrified. they knew what had to be done. they knew that we would have to change the eligibility period that we would have to cut out benefits.

that we would have to raise revenue. all of which we did. senator dole, along with president reagan in speaker o'neill, in the ways and means committee, led us through that mess. one of the things that i will always appreciate about you -- yes, bob dole is a partisan leader. that was your job. but when the doors closed and tough decisions had to be made, you could always count on bob dole doing the right thing. bob dole, looking at the facts and doing what they required. i think that the reason that he did it, this man loves his country more than he loves his political party. to me, that is the sign of a great patriot. that is what i consider you to speak, bob. [applause]

-- youtube e., bob. -- you to be, bob. [applause] i do not know if i have gone over my five minutes or not, but let me just say, i salute bob dole for his work in world war ii. for 35 years to the people of kansas and this country. i also salute you for being one of the toughest human beings i have ever met. [laughter] [applause] i also want to say that i salute this man because he has a heart as big as kansas. bob, i really treasure our friendship. thank you for being here. >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome former u.s. senator, don

rickles. >> that bob was a leader in the senate today, there would be a lot more happening. -- i can tell you this, if bob dole was a leader in the senate today, there would be a lot more happening. i wanted to start with that wonderful tribute that elizabeth gave to you in the other room. we will also wonderful things and, hopefully, slightly different things, but hers will be the hardest the match. only a select few of our national leaders, in our long history as a nation, ever rose to what you would call a truly extraordinary level of public achievement in a lifetime. you have one sitting here in bob

dole. think back to the last 150 years. not a big group that she would name to put on a list, but he is one of them. i have been very privileged to serve with him in the house and senate. it was 44 years ago, hard to believe, when the u.s. house told republicans, when we started working together but i have been privileged to see his exceptional intellect in play. his leadership, his strength, his -- decency and razor wit. as well as his on going commitment to the broader public good. in fusing in other, a thoughtful

people, the need to take this democracy and make it work the way that it ought to. no one has a monopoly on all of the good ideas. learn how to sit down and talk it out. i believe that bob would have been a great president. because of his sheer talent and his goodness of heart. i think that he would have used the those things to guide this nation. whether they are in our societies with disabilities, or they are returning veterans needing our help, he personally led the fight to help a small advance and have a decent chance.

of what other work is there for any of us, other than that? i know that the passage of the americans with disabilities act would never have happened without bob. anyone able to move down the street and fossett, doing what they are about to do,. so, he cares about people. to me, that is all people. we need more critical leaders like that today, who think and act in terms of our whole nation, not just all of it -- part of it. he has supported other countries as well. his peace program has served over 3 billion people worldwide

since its region inception. his commitment to global food security was awarded in 2008, along with senator george mcgovern. marshall harris, and others. and of course, sustaining support. i want to thank all of you here tonight for thinking the bob dole institute. it is one thing to thank you to

honor the sacrifice, it was not about bob dole. those of us who know about bob dole know that he has never wanted or needed monuments to himself. this legislation is an indelible mark left for all to see. with of the world war ii memorial, he was looking to recognize the anonymous regions -- legions of men and women, dead and alive, who had served. he wanted us to remember them. more than that, to be prepared to make our own investments and sacrifices when we are called upon. he made a giant mark for the good on the history of our country. he has answered every single call to service. he deserves these owners a

former president. i urge you, when you were there next time, take a close look at it. take a look at the quotation from a former house speaker and it is a truly wonderful tribute. to gerry ford, for his great decency and effective leadership in pulling our nation the other in a difficult time. and it is so much about how things should work in our congress, between parties.

so, tonight we are all privilege today -- to be gathered here. it gives us the privilege of continuing his work. thank you for coming. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome kathleen sebelius. >>

>> thank you secretary kathleen sebelius. it is a great honor for me to be one of the guests here, not just as a guest from kansas, but to represent someone who is important to the nation and the world and to honor someone who is half of a true d.c. power couple. the diversity of kansas is proud to host the robert dole institute of politics, which honors and continues senator dole's service. he wanted to be an active place and k.u. has made sure it is that. it documents the political career of america's longest serving republican leader in the senate. public service is honorable to

engage students in a robust discussion to make sure that the young people love the next generation understand that civility and schumer and the intellect are part of what we need in this to my purse. for that we will always be grateful. i have an opportunity to thank and introduce the chancellor of the university of kansas.

i watched people screen a variety of candidates and feel that they had by friday deciliter they had at the university of kansas when they chose the chancellor. i have been able to watch her and interact with her in the 2 1/2 years she has been in that position and watched her continued to grow the university and reach high marks and make sure the university of kansas excels in all of its efforts, particularly to focus on the dole institute as a vibrant heart of a democratic dialogue in the great state of kansas. also, to take it to a new national level. the dole institute is renounce

all over the country. many people in the fact we have that kind of institution in lawrence, kansas. they do not have a bob dole in various states of the country. they also do not have a dole institute. i thank the chances for making sure that stays as a vital institution. i will introduce the chancellor of the university of kansas. [applause] >> thank you secretary kathleen sebelius. it is a great honor for me to be one of the guess here, to be a guest not just from kansas -- guests, to be here not just as a guest from kansas, but to represent someone who is important to the nation and the world and to honor someone who is half of a true d.c. power couple. the diversity of kansas is proud to host the robert dole

institute of politics, which honors and continues senator dold's service. senator dole makes i -- senator dole's service. he wanted to be an active place and k.u. has made sure it is that. it documents the political career of america's longest serving republican leader in the senate. the archive contains 34,000 separate files with nearly 7000 documents and has welcomed researchers from as far as britain and france. the dole institute has featured 146 progress. there are forums, events, seminars for students all designed to bring more people into the civic and civil discourse that the doles have committed their lives to. we have posted president of the united states like george h. w. bush and bill clinton.

and far off nations from poland to the ukraine. we have posted leaders in government and politics such as the former mayor and california house speaker and fdic chairwoman she liber -- shiela bair. she has the distinction of being both a k.u. graduate and being recognized as one of the most powerful women in the world. we have had commentators like bob woodward and david broder.

one of his last appearances was at the dole institute. we give students the opportunity to learn first hand from leaders in the field. those events are bipartisan and have included people like dennis moore and the press secretary to senator dole. i would challenge you to compare the programming at the dole institute to harvard and i know you will be impressed with the dole institute. all events are open to the public and conform to the institute's mission of expanding the dialogue. on behalf of the university and

on behalf of the dole institute, i want to thank you for your generous support. it is also possible because of the generous personal contributions of the doles themselves. of all the events i have been too, one of the most inspiring is the annual swearing in of new citizens. i make sure that whatever is going on, i get to that event. i had the opportunity to attend this events each year since becoming chancellor. it is truly fitting that the newest citizens of our nation take their oath of citizenship at an institute built by and in honor of someone who devoted his life to defending and serving this nation.

in recognition of that service, i want to personally solicit a man whose leadership has changed this country, has changed, as live, senator bob dole. -- countless lives, senator bob dole. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome senator pat roberts. >> the high road of humility is not mothered by heavy traffic in this town. [laughter] i feel humble to be here on behalf of my leader, the great center and a great man, bob dole.

i have several housekeeping duties here. senator warner, where are you, sir? [applause] he is speaking up behind you, bob. show your face. that is required. [laughter] right over there. the other note i have, the chancellor from the university of missouri. and the chancellor. we have yet to make up our minds. sorry about that. as anthony said to cleopatra, i

am not here to talk. she be applied, i am not -- replied, i am not prone to argue. [laughter] i will just give some random chips off of the block. everyone else has waxed poetic and told the truth about you. now it is my turn. my first experience with him was in 1959. i was ready to put cold steel on the enemy at any time. i was in on my father and bob leaned over to me and said, you are going to meet the greatest potential candidate you will ever meet.

out came bob. it was a combination of george clooney and tyrone power. i had a talk with him and he took time to talk to a marine. i was tremendously impressed. bob was right. you see what has happened in regard to his public career. what a great time we had. i was privileged to be the administrative assistant and served with jim and others in the delegation. we had a great time. the security was not as tight as it is today. i would always go on the floor and say, what kind of a mood is he in? and they would say, what kind

of mood is he ever in? [laughter] we got things done back in those days. we had a time when we had this crazy guy who came in in a cowboy hat from texas. he had this box with him. he said, i have to get this box to henry kissinger. sebelius said, i have demands for you, pat roberts. he is a former marine. he opens up the box and i look in and say, what is this? it was a huge ball of tin foil.

i said, i just have a top- secret clearance. this is much higher than that. [laughter] i should not be seen that. there is a guy you should go meet. that is bill katz olver in bob dole's office. >> he said, ok. bob dole? i said, you are going to see bill katz. i called the secretaries. i said, we have a guy with a big box and he is going to make a big contribution. [laughter] in he went. i did not answer the phone for about three days. i will tell you how we got things done. right in the middle of the grain harvest, they said they

would change the criteria in the way the grain goes across the stale. they had stopped the kansas harvest. by that time, i thought i was somebody. i was a member of congress. i said, we have to put a stop to this. i knew the meeting was held at 10:00. all the agricultural groups -- i told them, we cannot change the criteria. i said, i do not mean to interrupt. you are to be at bob dole's office at 1:00 p.m. he is not happy. i have never seen him so frustrated and concerned and angry as stopping the kansas wheat crop. we will see you at 1:00.

thank you very much. i would have to sheila and said, how is he feeling? they said, we have a problem. the harvest has stopped and the fds is coming up. they are going to meet at your office at 1:00. at 12:15, they called me up and said, you can tell the senator that we have waited. there is a moratorium until after the -- tell the senator that we have waived it. all of us on the house side, we would assume -- they would assume whatever i was for, bob was for. we got some things done. there is another little story and i will quit. this whole thing started when our national committee had a

great person from the daily news. huck was driving along in his ancient cadillac. he saw a light on the second floor of the county courthouse. in those days, you would stop the car, close the door, and turn off the light. you did not want to waste any energy. it is mandated now by the administration that you have to do that. huck stopped and goes into the courthouse. he goes to the second floor. there he is slaving away at 10:30 p.m. at night. huck says, i am the national committee man for the republican party of kansas. he said, you should think about

running for public office. he said, i do not know if i am a democrat or a republican. bob said, i think i will be a republican. [laughter] in honor of that tremendous first meeting, it started bob and huck -- they were the godfathers. they were coming out of the woodwork. it was a great experience. i want you to have this. this is the last three waves like ball available in the senate. [applause]

-- light bulb available in the senate. it does give off heat. they cannot detect you as the source. you know the other ones we have to buy renminbi -- buy are the squiggly things where you cannot read by it. it is like a restroom in the russell vfw. this is the light bulb that started you. that is what i want to give you. every time bob goes down to the world war ii memorial, he is a rock star. at absolute rock star. people come in from all parts of kansas. they write down the memories of these veterans who have never

talked about this before and put it in the paper and that history is preserved. you either stay away from him quite a bit or you stand right with him and you are part of the rock star group. what is it in a man that would have people come to him from that memorial? somewhat pretty slow and some do not walk. they come up to him with tears in their eyes and say, there is bob dole. bob, you have a gift. you have touched so many lives and made them better. we thank you for that, god bless you for that. [applause] >> i think i can make my remarks in a couple of minutes. i want to thank you for being here. i want to thank tom.

i have known him for a long time. i want to thank my friend who works with the chamber. it is a high position job. a lot of people in this office used to work with me in the senate and the house.

nobody here who worked with the in the kansas house. that was 1951. i have had a great experience in politics. it was all by accident because we had a democratic law librarian who passed away a few years ago who was telling me more young people should be involved in politics. she talked me into running for the state legislature and i got elected. i did not know much about politics. i think pat was right. i did not know which party to be done to until i looked at the registration. it was a great experience. i really enjoyed it. we got a law passed that gave disabled veterans a preference in parking. they could part in certain spots to make it easier for them

to get into the store and all of that. it is not a big legislative record, but i enjoyed it. i decided, maybe i will run for county attorney. they are having trouble finding anybody. i spent about 8 years in the county attorney's office. we never prosecuted anybody. [laughter] it was always pretty quiet in russell, kansas. when i was there, every lawyer in town wanted to be county attorney. i ran against seven different

democrats and republicans. they had to draft someone to fill the job when i left. a democratic friend of mine became county attorney because they could not get anybody else to run. that is how you get started. there was a fellow who nobody knows here. he was about a foot taller than me. he always had a big hat on. he was represented the sixth congressional district. we are down to four now. he was going to retire from congress. we had some good friends and its candidates. keith sebelius was one. bob dole was one of the people running. people did not know the difference between dole and dole. keith said, you drown me in

pineapple juice. i had a lot of friends in my home town. they got me started in politics. in my state, they got me started in politics. i think i learned a lot in the hospital after world war ii about getting along with people who have different problems and different attitudes. you learn if you work together, you might get something done. i remember daniel and away -- daniel inoye. he weighed 93 pounds.

he was a close friend of mine. we came to congress that about the same time. he tells the story that i told him in the hospital that we both should run for congress. i am not sure i never said that. if he thought i did, it is all right with me. and then a chance to replace senator carlson, who was one of the most decent man i ever met. they are honoring him next week, a special program for senator frank carlson. he decided that maybe i should be the republican candidate. i was a republican candidate. i was elected and served five terms.

something like that. i left the senate voluntarily. but i did not leave politics voluntarily. i kept asking clinton that there should be a recount. i feel that in some of those states, if we have a recap, i could be president. we have become great friends and we -- if we have a recount, i could be president. we have become great friends and we get along. the one word that means a lot is trust. you have to be willing to trust one another if you are going to get anything done.

if i tell you i will support this and that is all, you are not going to get anywhere. you have to have a little flexibility. i am a man of strong principle. one of them is flexibility. [laughter] sometimes you have to give a little. ronald reagan used to say, give me 70% or 80% and i will get the rest next year. he was not the hard right conservative that some people portray him as today. that was a great experience. i left the senate in june of 1996. it was kind of a tearful departure. you have a lot of friends there and staff. if you do not have a good staff,

you do not do a good job. i had a good staff and some are here this evening. they never got any credit, but they did most of the work. keeping your word in whatever you do is vital. i remember one day on the senate floor, i offered an amendment to a bill. it was not controversial and it was passed easily. we did not even have a vote. it was a voice vote. then i heard that time-so wanted to offer that amendment -- tom daschle and he wanted a promise that he could offer it. i checked and found out he was right and i was wrong. we did what we call it vitiating all of the proceedings -- voiding all of the proceedings. we watched it out and he offered it and everything was fine.

it seems to me that some of that is missing today, some of the trust and some of the friendship. i do not want to criticize the place that i was all parts of for 30-something years. i think we can do better and i believe we will. people are going to rise up on the democratic and republican side. there are going to be leaders on both sides who will say, i can i get it all, but i will take x. the other side will say, i do not want to give all of that, but i will take xy. have a meeting with all of the people working on the bill. i would say, work it out.

when you get it worked out, come to see me. it worked pretty well. we got a lot of things worked out. [laughter] i cannot read this. i know it is a great honor to be in the senate. i remember that. [laughter] oh, yeah. this old institute is a great place, too. [applause] that took care of two pages. [laughter] i will just close by making certain that if you have any doubt in your mind, none of the money raised here is going to end up in any political campaign. it will end up in the dole institute of politics.

that is where it belongs. we were all young once. it is harder for me to remember then you. it means a lot for young people to have this experience. it does not mean a lot to them if we make a b is a bob dole republican policy group. we work on a bipartisan basis -- make this a bob dole republican policy group. she is in the legislature and does a great job there. it is fitting to say the institute, i believe and the chancellor can correct me, is one of the busiest places on the campus. it is in use four out of five nights per week or something. president carter dedicated for

me even though i did not voted for the panama canal. [laughter] -- did not vote for a -the republican -- did not vote for the panama canal. a lot of republicans are going to get some of the candidates on the republican side because obama does not have an opponent before november. thank you for your long friendship. it means a lot to me. i have been recovering from a health problem, but i am getting a little better each day. i spent 11 months in walter reed hospital.

it is a great hospital. i never thought i wanted to spend that much time there. [laughter] but they got me out of bed and got me on my feet. i can walk around pretty well. i never could write well, so that is not a problem. the bottom line as i see it is, as you go through life, did you make a difference? it does not have to be a

difference for a million people. did you make a difference for one person or two person's? i tried, in my own little way, to call somebody or do something so i can say at the end of the day, i made a little different in that person's life. i talk to them on the phone. pat mentioned the world war ii memorial, the veterans memorial. we raise $195 million. tomorrow morning, there will be about 300 world war ii veterans in six states who will come at 1030. elizabeth is a great help to me. she will be there and we will try to reach as many as we can. they are your fathers and our grandfathers and the people who really made this country great. thanks for coming. we will see you at the next salute. i am not sure where it will be held yet. [applause] [captioning performed by national captioning institute] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2011]

>> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the director of the dole institute of politics. >> thank you very much. i cannot imagine a greater honor and salute to senator dole and the bipartisan leaders on the floor tonight. it shows what he accomplished in his career. thanks for your support. we appreciate it. thanks to mike for organizing a tremendous team to pull this event off. i do intend to talk to mike after tonight. i want to know why i am closing tonight after all these wonderful speakers instead of him. we will talk about that later. thanks to the university of

kansas. they have been extraordinarily supportive to the dole institute of politics. we have had some extraordinary guess -- guests. we have had a sitting vice president, a former vice president, two presidents. i hope everyone has picked up our annual report that will tell you what we did over the last two years at the dole institute. i hope you will pick that up to show how far we make your dollars goal. i hope you have had a chance to meet my team. if you want to know who they are, they are the individuals who passed out when senator dole said we have programs 80% of the evenings. senator go has a remarkable legacy.

it makes our job at the institute easy. it makes out a job an imperative. we feel strongly and passionate about it. thank you all for coming out. thanks for a great evening. we appreciate your support. [applause]
