senator bozeman and i pressed her very hard about both the operational and managerial challenges andhallenges. in order to fix the i.t. problems that they already identified, they're asking for tens of millions of dollar more. i do think there are legitimate concerns and questions that i've raised and other senators have raised as just played. b. the forthcoming nature of opm's responses and about the scope and timing of the breaches. so there's going to be a lot more investigating to do. and a lot more hearings to come. >> thanks so much senator coons. building aircraft, the likes of which the world has never seen. this is what we do. ♪ that's the value of performance. northrop grumman. ♪ kraft barbecue sauce's new recipe is made with sweet molasses, cane sugar and no high fructose corn syrup. that's not how most leading barbecue sauces do it. but that's how it's done at kraft. when the moment's spontaneous, why pause to take a pill? or stop to find a bathroom? cialis for daily use is approved to treat both erectile dysfunction and the urinary symptoms of bph, like needing to go fre

senator john bozeman of arkansas has the government's response and talks about defense spending. john: hi everybody. president obama: we declared in health care it is not a privilege for few but a right for all. this week after more than 50 votes in congress to repeal or weaken this law, after a presidential election based in part on preserving or repealing this law after multiple challenges to this law before the supreme court, we can now say this for certain the affordable care act still stands. it is working. and it is here to stay. on thursday, when the court upheld the critical part of the affordable care act it was a victory for hard-working americans all across this country whose lives are more secure because of this law. this law means that if you're a parent, you can keep your kids on your plan until they turn 26. if you're a senior, or an american with a disability, this law gives you discounts on your prescriptions. you can't be charged more just because you're a woman. and you can't be discriminated against just for having a pre-existing condition. this

it is chaired by senator john bozeman of yeark. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> the hearing will come to order. services and general government is intended to elicit further information about the recent opm data breaches. it is also a time to discuss the enormous challenges facing the federal government as it attempts to ensure this does not happen again. the government spends approximately $82 billion a year on information technology. given the cost of these projects and the impact on our economy and the national security members of the subcommittee have an ongoing committee -- commitment to conduct oversight. we must ensure that hard-earned tax dollars of millions of americans are being spent wisely and effectively. just last year, the subcommittee held a hearing with opm director arculetta, steve van roykle, dan tangerlini and david panner. given the enormous resources and important security issues at stake, the subcommittee considered it imperative that omb and federal agencies appropriately managed these projects. we're all well aware of examples of projects that ended in sp

speculation chairs, hustle me down the stairs and then we had a 60-mile drive over mostly gravel roads to bozeman in the airplane. i was not in the best shape mentally but i do remember one of them was my gps system. okay. in others railroad tracks. it will be a little bumpy. there not that far away. he away. he got me through the trip and i got to the mayo clinic they are of course, i was in the best as possible. i was then transferred to new york and was handed off to a brilliant's oncologist and a group of senior positions came in. what happens is that they want to be reassuring they said nine months from now there going to be back out. that was kind of uplifting for me and it was dead wrong it turns out. i went through a really difficult time. had four compression fractures in my spine that the dr. had missed. repaired it was something called type of plastic. those of you in the medical field no what that is. they put is. they put a needle and your spine and fill those fractures the cement. and that was tough enough but when i came out a set your remember when you used to be 6 feet and 511. s

chairman bozeman thank you for , holding this hearing and i'm eager to work together as we consider the needs of our federal agencies and combatting cyber threats. >> thank you, senator. >> mr. chairman. may i just have a few comments and observations? >> you can comment all you like. >> first of all, mr. chairman, i really want to thank you for your leadership and convening this hearing. i think america wants to know, certainly our federal employees want to know what happened and what is the impact on them, and what is the impact on the nation? i would strongly recommend to the chair that after this hearing and then also the briefing we'll receive this afternoon, the chair and the ranking consider having a classified briefing because as a member of both the intel committee and someone who has been involved on this, there are things that are best discussed that you need to know for your responsibilities in a setting. and we would be -- and senator cochran and i would be happy to cooperate with you in establishing that. center: -- senator: it needs to be -- you'll know more this afternoo

it was coming down highway 12, just outside helena, montana, between my town of bozeman. i drive this all the time. it was during daylight hours. weather conditions were fine. and this fire truck veered into incoming traffic and the volunteer fire chief in the truck was killed in a very violent head-on collision. and there was a family of five mom and dad and three small children in the back in a pickup, that were also killed. so, when i drive back and forth -- in fact i went by that accident site just days after it happened. you could see the marks coming in -- the tire mashgsz in a straightaway where this horrible collision occurred. there are six white crosses standing by the highway where that occurred. this particular navistar front drive shaft has been recalled in approximately 500 vehicles with notifications being mailed this month. this accident occurred on june 19th of last year. so, the notifications went out just in the last ten days. a year after the accident. and it turns out this exact component was a nhtsa-approved solution to a previous recall that occurre

in fact, it occurred in my hometown of bozeman. i went to kindergarten through college in bozeman. because on may 29, 2013, u.s. army private first class wade christensen took his own life. he was 23 years old. private first class christensen served this country as a paratrooper in the 82nd airborne division and was deployed to afghanistan with his unit in 2009. during an ambush, he sustained severe injuries to his face, to his arms. after his return to montana wade struggled with both the physical and the mental healing process. wade's brother matt talked about how wade's mood would change when he wouldn't be able to take his medication when the v.a. failed to give him the meds on time. i wish i could stand here and tell you that wade christensen's story is unique. unfortunately, he's just one of the many veterans who committed suicide in my state that year. in fact, between 2004-2013 there were 566 suicides by montana veterans. in montana and across the nation, too many of our veterans struggle with ptsd, they struggle with depression. and veteran depression not only affects the
