and we're demanding that it do so. >> thank you. >> thank you, chairman boozman. ms. archuleta, if obm had completed its planned i.t. upgrades would this breach have been prevented? woulds these consequences been prevent snd and if opm had been in con pliens would still have occurred? >> my cio advised me even if there had been 100% fisma compliance, there's no guarantee that systems won't get breached. and that's why an i.t. strategic plan and the implementation of an i.t. plan is so important. mitigation, risk mitigation is the answer to what we need to do. we need to be able to detect and mitigate. and that's what our plan is designed to do as we move from a legacy system to the new shell system. >> yes i believe we need to act very rapidly to move from this old decades old systems to a new system. we need to make sure we are tracking, that we're documenting and justifying all that we do. but we also need to be sure that we're acting as quickly as we can to protect the records that have been entrusted to us. >> ms. archuleta, of all the folks, the federal employees

i think -- i heard there's one amendment that senator manchin was going to be along with senator boozman they're putting together to change the -- to adopt the pilots' bill of rights to -- and go ahead and have that -- which is appropriate. it may not be as germane as we'd like to have it be, but it's still transportation. the pilots' bill of rights 1 was passed two years ago. and that was passed by -- in fact they wouldn't one take it -- they wouldn't even take it up in committee, but i had 67 cosponsors to the bill, and i was very thankful at the time. of course, democrats were in the majority. harry reid, when i went to his office and said, you know, it doesn't seem fair to me that we have 67 cosponsors and they won't take it up in the committee. and he said, well, that isn't right. they came to the floor and they passed it. when things get outrageousrageous, people tend to work together. that was on an issue that just a handful of people are aware of. but anyone who is a licensed pilot knows that in their minds that was the most significant thing that was going on. i've been flying f

. >> thank you chairman boozman. i would like to thank director archuleta and michael esser and chief information officer richard spires. we are here today as the chairman laid out to review information technology spending at the office of personnel management. as part of that review we need to discuss recent security attacks that has put employment information and national security at real risk and discuss the late breaking audit that express concerned about the opm audit. but while we conduct the over site of the audit i urge us to put this in the context of larger security challenges that face government as a society and a whole and the lack of congress in strengthening the cyber defenses and providing needed funding for federal funding and i.t. initiatives. regarding opm, one breach involved personnel data of 4 million employees. during the breach investigation investigators found another intrusion where background information was stolen. i understand that opm was only recent le made aware of the investigation --

little rock, arkansas, getting out pretty close to my area, tom cotton and john boozman are very much concerned about this, or they should be and i'm sure they are, it's structurally deficient. it was built in 1961 to carry traffic over railroad tracks. 116,000 cars a day. arkansas is delaying projects because of uncertainty at the federal level. and that's what this bill is all about. the stooral dry bridge in boston massachusetts. senators warner and mackie will be concerned. it was built in 1951. this structurally deficient bridge carries 57,000 cars a day the storrow drive bridge earned its structurally deficient rating because of the corroding support beams that support one of the many highly trafficked bridges in the nation. and i have been across that one several times. you have the u.s. 1/9 over the passaic river in newark, new jersey. senator booker and senator menendez will be -- are concerned about that. the -- herbert hoover was president when the bridge was built in 1932 with an estimated design volume of 5,500 vehicles a day. it's now up to 62,000 vehicles a day. the --

the tom cotton and john boozman are most interested in this bridge. this is structurally deficient built in 1961 to carry traffic over railroad tracks. 116,000 cars a day. arkansas is delaying promise because of uncertainty at the federal level. certainly a gap in financing for the i-30 project. the storrow bridge in boston. senators warren and, warren and markey are concerned about this. carries 657,000 cars a day. the storrow drive bridge earned the deficient rating because of corroding support beams that support one of many highly trafficked bridges in the nation. the cost of interim repairs have kept the artery open but they're just stopgaps until a solution can be reached. in new jersey, the u.s. highway 1 over the passaic river. herbert hoover was president when this bridge was built in 1932 with an estimated design value of 5,500 vehicles a day. i want to skip down now to the brooklyn bridge. see if you got the brooklyn bridge there. this bridge was actually built in 1883. now, it is a structurally deficient, of course, you know the number of c

boozman: thank you mr. president.the dangers our troops face extend beyond war zones unfortunately to within our nation's borders and it's time our policies reflect their risk no matter where they are stationed. just like the attack at little rock army recruiting station and the tragedy at fort hood the recent senseless shootings in chattanooga happened when our troops were unarmed. leaving them with no way to defend themselves, i fully support the actions of arkansas governor asa hutchison to do what is h necessary to protect the arkansas national guard by allowing members to be armed at army installations and guard installations. however, he only has authority over the arkansas national guard while governors of other states have issued similar directives. i urge the secretary of defense ashton carter and president obama to order protective measures at department of defense installations. the vicious attack at chattanooga changed the lives of gunnery thomas sullivan, lance corporal squire wells sergeant holmquist, da

just recently, i along with senators vitter, purdue, cotton i, inhofe and boozman introduced the michael davis jr. and denny oliver in honor of state and local law enforcement act, a bill named for two sheriff's deputies in california who were murdered by an illegal alien with an extensive criminal record and i thought three deportations talking to the widows of these officers recently i'm told he may have been deported four times. and an extensive criminal record. so the bill -- this bill is a companion to the bill introduced earlier this year by the chairman of the house subcommittee on immigration and border security, trey goudy. it's a good bill. our bill is similar. in addition to enhancing cooperation with states and local law enforcement and eliminating loopholes that allowed criminal aliens to obtain immigration benefits this bill would constitute a clear, strong and responsible response to sanctuary jurisdictions and other government actions. specifically it would withhold federal funding from sanctuary jurisdictions that do not cooperate with the enforcement of federal immigrat
