so i know we want to have cleaner air. we're on a path to have cleaner air. we've been reducing nox and sox particulates for years. we can continue to do that. but to talk about a 50% reduction in 2014, a 20% reduction in sox by next year? these are huge changes. after the low-hanging fruit has already been achieved, i don't believe that's justified, i don't believe it should be pressed down on the brow of an economy that's struggling mightily to get off the mat and begin to grow again. i thank the chair and would yield the floor. the presiding officer: the senator from tennessee is recognized. mr. alexander: mr. president -- mrs. boxer: mr. president, if my colleague would withhold for 60 siegeds. mr. alexander: certainly. mrs. boxer: thank you. i would like to make a unanimous consent request that committees are allowed to meet today during today's session of the snavment they have the approval of the majority and minority leaders. i hope these requests will be agreed and to printed in the record. the presiding officer: without objection. mrs. boxer: and on

we have one air force. i do not know what impact this will have and therefore, you are sensing some of the things on our part to embrace him then. it could be that nothing changes. to be the best possible outcome. then one might say if nothing is going to change, why are we changing? i would say the decision before you is one of context. the context of adding craig mckinley to the joint chiefs, which in some ways would be a powerful symbol to our citizen soldiers. i've got that. but the other context is for me the more compelling argument about turning to rate zero dear no say in iowa soldiers from you and i don't care if they are active guard or reserve. so i don't know the answer to your question, senator, but i am concerned. let me just say the utmost confidence in all of you i know you would be in a position you are if the workers evaluated an unexpected didn't feel fulfilled and i don't expect anything different from that. the thing that i observed was truly the guard is the only visible part of our de

i can attest over my 30 years in the air force at the air guard today has the oldest legacy fleet and its history and i am concerned, as i am sure the chief staff of the air force is over future modernization plan so that we can have the balance force that is made the air force and the international guard so close throughout history. i am concerned about the future of capitalization of the air national guard. >> my time is up, but i would like for the record and writing at a later time if you would respond to three of the witnesses talked about the confusion -- the work confusion. i would like to have the respond, for the record on that particular issue. >> inks, senator. >> senator lieberman. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thanks to all of you for being here. i guess i would say on this interesting and important question in a minor member of the open-minded caucus because i am undecided. this discussion has really been very helpful. i wanted to get on the record just some basic facts. maybe you will start with you. what is the number of personnel in the army and air guard? >> we have ap

it was an air traffic controller's worst nightmare. the sickening scenario that had haunted maher's dreams ever since that grim december morning in 1960. two targets were con eventualing on a screen -- converging on a screen. each sweep of the radar saw them draw closer to a collision. but it was too late to issue any new vectors. too late for course corrections. all maher could do was watch helplessly as the targets came together, hoping that his friend was mistaken, praying that a disaster could be averted. and wondering how it had come to this. so this is how i open the book. with the sense and the realization even at the moment that the strike was still in its first 24 hours, that it por tended possible disaster not only for maher and his friends, but for the country in many ways. in the pages that follow, i explain how that moment came about and how that moment changed this country, and i believe it did. the story picks up in the aftermath of the 1960s disaster. it traces air traffic controllers' efforts to organize a union in the

the air force waited the air force waited to notify four families whose service members had body parts that were missing or couldn't be accounted for. the air force has given some shifting explanations for why they waited so long. first general schwartz, the chief of staff who you heard earlier, said that there were some constraints placed on the air force by the office of special counsel that made them wait. later he said that it was the air force's judgment that they wanted to give all the information of the families in one fell swoop instead of partial reports and that's why they waited. the office of special counsel was highly critical of this. they said that they had urged the air force for months to notify the families, that they should have been notified right away that there was these discrepancies and what happened to their fallen relatives. >> warner: secretary panetta has his review, you have your findings. where does this go from here? >> we're not sure and i i think there are questions as to how things were handled at this mortuary and for how many years. yesterday general

about 3000 air traffic comptrollers. they tried to get the government to listen to some of their concerns. it shows how in the aftermath of that conflict they cut a secret deal with the nixon administration that a boy to comptrollers jobs permanently for basically striking against the government in 1970, and in fact even won recognition for patco within a couple of years at that job action. it shows how the union grew over the course of the 1970s under a pretty remarkable union leader named john lehman who was able to balance various factions within the union and to project just enough militancy to try to get the government to respond to patco's concerns without endangering the union. but the book goes on to show how come over the course of the 1970s, the comptroller's efforts to have their voices heard became increasingly frustrating for them. and they found it, they found themselves unable to negotiate over the things that mattered most to them. they were forced to fight over ancillary issues like free training flights

to air? i think that will be tremendous cost savings developing aircrafts that can handle that because we eliminate the stuff that supports the pilot in the cockpit leaving the pilot on the ground. thank you for your comments. >> host: explain the difference there. >> guest: sure, and robert, thanks for the question. what robert said it true for combat deployment of the aircraft, it's an air to ground mode means it's aircraft dropping a weapon or shooting a rocket at a target on the ground, and air-to-air combat that's stayed a manned mission because for now the situation is so fluid and changes so fast that we rely on a person to be in the loop to decide before you pull the trigger whether you are shooting at the right target or not in that very complex air-to-air environment. we're always looking at new ways 20 improve efficiency and become better at what we do. i think that areas that require a whole lot of judgment and consideration like that air-to-air operations and like dropping bombs

even the air force, we had seventh air force, that's the outfit we have now, 13th air force in thailand where i was -- where we served. and this -- theater wasn't that big. impossible we could have had one numbered air force to manage our afoirs. it got so bad during the granada invasion and haiti that the congress had to act and in 1986 they passed the goldwater nichols act which mandated we work better together and they did that starting with education. and then before you could get promoted to flag rank you had to go through an assignment with some other service. some joint assignment. and that has paid dividends to the point where we are actually pretty good at working together today. and that's -- and that's really good because as we struggle with -- going through the budget cuts we know we're going to have, ordered $64 billion over the next 10 years, 2012-2021, there are going to be -- services are going to come down in strength and capability. we're going to have to rely on each other even more. and where this really showed was the major combat phase in iraq. the services, i mean

leon panetta has ordered an independent review of procedures at dover air force base.e was joined by martin dempsey for a briefing at the pentagon. this is half an hour. >> good afternoon. firstis general dempsey's briefing with the secretary. i welcome him to this briefing. i would inform him there is a tradition that he gets all of the tough questions. did tim used to this job. let me begin by wishing a happy birthday to the united states marine corps. i will be attending their ball this saturday. general dempsey and i have been working with the senior leadership of the department, including the service secretaries, the combatant commanders and the undersecretary of defense to implement the 450 billion in savings we have been required to do over 10 years. that translates into a around $260 billion over five years. this process, and i required this from the beginning, has to be driven by strategy. it also has to be a team effort. my hope is that as we work through this we will put the leadership of the department in the same place so that we can finalize this effort.

of its authority to protect our air from certain kinds of air pollution emitted by power plants.hat rule was put in place specifically to protect downwind states like new hampshire and those of us in the northeast and on the east coast from air pollution that originates from outside our borders. i am particularly concerned by the attempts to stop these protections because in new hampshire, we've been fighting for them for over a decade, and they are long overdue. clean air is a bipartisan matter for us in new hampshire. as my friend and colleague senator ayotte noted on the floor last night, in new hampshire, we have a long bipartisan tradition of working to advance commonsense, balanced environmental protections. i couldn't agree with her more. she and i know that even if we eliminated all local sources of air pollution from within new hampshire's borders, we would still have counties in the state with unaccept -- unacceptably high levels of pollution. that's because of the overwhelming pollution that comes into new hampshire and the northeast on air currents from the midwest. i

the light and air we get from the north side is our major light and air into our house. all we are asking is that the master bathroom window -- a small window, we could do without. but the master bathroom window, a setback or light well for that window. that gives a lot of air circulation to those rooms. that would allow us to continue to receive light and air circulation. it is not asking much. it would seem to be in the spirit of page 16 of the residential design guidelines. a few years ago, san francisco approved our bathroom remodels, which included replacement of this window at considerable cost. now the city is saying, "never mind. close up the window." for these reasons, we believe a setback or light well is reasonable. let us talk about scale and neighborhood. the vertical size of this project is out of character with the rest of this block. it is not the shortest house on the block. there are four more across the street that are the same size. there used to be five until one of them added another story. otherwise, to use mr. gibson's analogy, if you allow this p

air is very dry.lative humidity at 36%, with the dry west wind, coming in at 6 miles per hour. 30.43 is your barometer reading. the coldest spot on the map right now is in oakland, at 36 degrees. 36 in oakland. 45 in elkton. 44 in ocean city. and as you come up the 95 corridor, we're at 45 in baltimore, columbia, rock hall. all at 45. and 46 on kent island and in annapolis. winds are coming from the west now from central maryland, will start to see a uniform shift from the west and eventually southwest, as the high pressure just down to our south starts to ease a little offshore. as it starts to ease away. it's that clockwise flow around that is going to start tapping into some of these temperatures. dow is at 64. 63 in new orleans. and 53 atlanta. those are the simples -- temperatures that are moving our way this weekend. high pressure in control of the lower 48 as we'll see. but the jet stream, you can kind of follow the pat of the jet stream by following the precipitation path. you follow the line.

that is something that our air force says centered on our air force. but our marine air and naval air and even the robbery arm of the army, we have put together what we have called their dominance over the years to give our ground forces the ability to react and fight under that protection. i give you one small example that my friend from the army will chuckle about. when i was in europe during the late 1980's, we would practice for the big war on the plains of northern germany. we would go out in our brigade formation. when we came under attack from supposedly soviet force air, we would do herringbone maneuvers and all kinds of things to react to so that they could set up and defend us and so forth. we have now come to an age where we are so used to and so enabled by the year dominance that the joint team brings to the battlefield that i cannot remember even talking about a herringbone maneuver in the last few years. our situation on the ground and in the sea would change drastically if it were not for the joint air forces that bring this capability.

cold air locked in on out bottom side of the storm.ng on color coating radar. a interesting storm setup and that is pattern where cool air is locked across the midwest or in this case the deep south similar to repeating pattern we have seen since tropical storm lee. for us it keeps us mild enhancing the moisture in terms of building in showers and probably thick fog ahead of the rainfall as we go through tonight and tomorrow. so there could be showers later on in the day and towards the evening of the rain variety. and we will watch snow across the south. that slow moving storm system pinched off from the jet stream send a wave of rain our way enhancing during the day tomorrow and we get into the heavier stuff during the afternoon and evening while there's moderate to heavy snow across the north carolina mountains. that band could build up in western maryland. but we will get the rain out and cold air arriving from the south. 66 degrees with thickening clouds. a nice morning but it detier it's and tonight we are going to build in fog a
