this includes the president cio. transparency, the i.t. dashboard was put in place in june of 2009 to highlight the status and assessments of approximately 700 major i.t. investments across 27 departments. about $40 billion was spent annually on these investments. public dissemination of each is intended to allow omb and the congress to hold agencies accountable for results and performance. surprisingly, recent -- what assessments on healthcare.gov, per merely show a green raging. interestingly, in march the rating was red and something was wrong of that time. agency -- ment and and are sure that they are effectively mitigated. we have each reports on tech stat sessions highlighting the importance of these meetings and the excellent results. -- merely holding, and free we are not aware that healthcare.gov was subject to attack stat review. it is important to project success the program stats have the necessary knowledge and skills. engineering, architecture, systems integration, and testing. program management. several best past practices

, federal cto, and hhs cio. mr. power, what should we take from this report? mr. powers? powner? >> clearly those are best practices. what we did, that was a report that we did. we always report on failures. so we actually went to ten agencies and we asked them for a success story. so there's seven success acquisitions in there and we asked why they were successful. none of that is a surprise. it's defining your projects right upfront, putting the right people in charge, good communications with contractors and managing best practices throughout the life cycle. so it's something everyone at this table knows needs to be done on successful acquisitions. and, you know, mr. chairman, i think fatar and where we look at the acquisition process, that's fine. that's going to be very helpful. but a lot of this just gets down to solid governance and good management. that's what the practices really highlight. >> thank you. mr. chairman, i'd like to yield the rest of my time to mr. meadows. >> thank you. >> i thank the gen

although i appreciate the cio not signing a document for a site that was not ready, at the same time, we must realize that there should have been public objection to her signing that document for a website that clearly was not ready for prime time. additionally, today, we're hearing from a distinguished panel of witnesses and i recognize that some of the witnesses, particularly mr. park, are busy elsewhere trying to get this side operational. but since we have been in a neighborhood of six weeks since the launch, i trust that hundreds, or if necessary, thousands of the right people have most of their marching orders and that it's time for ofgress on any committee jurisdiction to look over the shoulder of the administration to ask you both what went wrong and, today, not just ask if you promise on november 30 to make it right but vill you in fact commit to the changes in law that would ensure this does not happen again? i don't hold this committee i.t.ng today to sell reform. this committee has already done its job to sell i.t. reform. however, it is essential that you understand that

in terms of what we're seeing from ceos and cios, we've never been better positioned, maria, versus theer maybe five or six top i.t. players to become the number one player. when you talk to cios, where they're going to be sending their money and you mentioned the top six players in the industry, almost without exception cisco will get a disproportionate share. regardless of what the economy does, and let's use the u.s. as an example, i'll focus purely on our growth rate versus our peers and enterprise and commercial and do we gain share of wallet. i think the odds are very good. >> in terms of buybacks versus dividends. buyback has been a priority of yours for a long time. the company over the last 11 years has bought back nearly $80 billion worth of shares. talk to us about how you come to the decision to, you know, emphasize buybacks versus dividends. >> i used to have a strong view on that. that's actually changed. i used to believe that if you were paying a dividend, you weren't a growth stock. that's clearly wrong. we went to our shareholders and they said, we'd like to see more o

were a corporation, right, and truly were sort of run that way, the president who decided to have a cio, cto position, however you want to refer to it, but had a chief information officer, chief technology officer, out of omb, but every agency has its own i.t. system. do we need essentially an actual department of i.t. for the federal government that truly has control over these i.t. systems throughout the federal government rather than just sort of essentially being a glorified help desk? >> i think we need a better brain. i think we need a more centralized and more authoritative brain. the truth is inside of government that the cio of the federal government and the cto of the federal government don't have very much power over what agencies can do. they're not a regulatory body. they can't say, hey, we want you to buy this and do things that way. that's not something they have the power to do. >> should they? >> yeah, i think they should. i think that the white house needs to open up an office of digital services inside of the white house and really be sort of the central hub for both

we had a little revolution in our labour movement the afl-cio gully taster labor movement position on immigration and we got the afl-cio to make a commitment this of that there would be rid of the law and mexico for somebody to works that our papers. we would also fight to protect the workers right to organize and fight for a decent legalization problem. we should live up to the promise. we should refuse to support any immigration reform that means that thousands of people, in fact millions of people possibly are going to be fired because they don't have papers. that is what mandatory e-verify means in the bill that keeps in place f, and 287g, the parts of the law that we have today that allow local police to enforce immigration law, the racial profiling. that is why we have 400,000 people deported every year. that is where those deportations are coming from. we don't want to support that. you know, employers and the wealth the glove and reverence and ate them. and they want and need people's work the tell want to have to pay a living wage for it. what better way is there not to pay f

they're part of afl/cio. is this a works place or is this a place of camaraderie building, that's something that the nfl will have to answer for itself going forward. a lot of people with this miami dolphin story has made comparisons to the film "a few good men" ordering the code red and doing a top down vertically organized bullying to take a soft player and turn him into a man's man just like a few good men. it's worth pointing out that the marines have had an uniform code banning yo all hazing since 199. the nfl does not have anything in its rule book whatsoever that as an uniform code of conduct that has to do with hazing people which just goes to the way that far too often in the nfl it can resemble an adolescent's idea of what war is actually like where players calling themselves soldiers and quarterbacks as field generals as this is the way you build this war mentality in the locker room when other people like jonathan martin is saying, wait a minute, i just signed up to play football, not practice war

the thing with metrics points, cios and ceos have different metrics. when you go in with a set of metrics aimed at a cio, you are not going to get a sale. the ceo's metric is, is this going to make my company more money? that's the angle you have to take. what we are beginning to see is ceos do this calculation of risk. the question i usually ask now is, does your board have a risk committee? most people say yeah. does your board's risk committee consider cyber risks? the answer on that one is mixed. that's one of the metrics we can use to see how this is changing. is the board thinking about risk when it come to cyber space? different metrics, and that's part of why this has been such a hard problem. >> leonard, you have something to add? >> one brief point. i always embrace support of my colleague here, steve. one to toss out. concern about the lens that's used. that is, what we see in cyber is at this point it's just another extension of other activities of crime, of spying, but of activities that are constant, that in reality we are not going to el

it used to be if the afl-cio and chamber of commerce were on the same side of an issue, it went through fact we have that with immigration and it's still stuck. businesses continuing to lobby, hispanic groups are continuing to lobby and nothing is happening is really remarkable. >> some accounts will put some blame for this process going awry at the feet of the white house. the white house did try to remain on side stage and let all of this crafting and legislation happen on capitol hill. at the same time the white house is pushing to get the senate bill out first because it was broad, it was comprehensive. the house bill was going to be not as aggressive. in so doing, pushing for senate bill, no plan b for what happens when there's a big comprehensive bipartisan effort out there. it seems to have scared away negotiators on the house side like raoul to push it through. >> you had to start with senate that's where the support was. you had a bipartisan bill pass through. if senate republicans can't quinn their house republican colleagues to pass this bill, how is the president, who they d

you have a terrific -- you have facebook's cio talking about that. well, it's just teens, whatever, or just some guys, maybe an advertiser. but they all come back to the fact that they are selling something, and there's a customer and they look to you. why do they look to you and not their own people, necessarily? why are you involved at all? why can't they cut you out? >> well, all those businesses behind facebook that are advertising and promoting and interacting with their customers on facebook, they need tools to sell to those customers, to service those customers, to market those customers. all those companies who are tweeting on twitter, okay, it's the same thing. and again, if you're hooking your device up, you're hooking your company up, you're hooking everything up. you have to be ready to have a relationship with the customer in a whole new way, a one-to-one relationship. >> why isn't that more lumpy? why are you able -- i'm in awe of the number. i just look at numbers. i don't sit here and think, how come you didn't do point this-this. why

you're part of the afl-cio. you should not have to feel threatened when you go to work every day.not have to hear racial epithets, you should not have to hear about your sister or your mother being abused, that should be unacceptable and that occurs in far too many nfl locker rooms. now that being said, it's also pretty clear that many nfl locker rooms, that kind of nonsense is policed. in the chicago bears locker room, for example, the coaches make it very clear that hazing is not allowed, and yet in the miami dolphins locker room it is allowed. and what you have to point out to people watching right now is that these players don't have guaranteed contracts and so nothing -- they're there at the pleasure of the coach and nothing really happens without the approval of the coach and of the people in charge. and that's why i think they're going to be the people who take a fall when this is all said and done. >> omar, a former denver player, nate jackson, wrote about how rookies were hazed when he was there during training camp. quote, rookies get it the worst because they must be in

i've been a chief information officer of publicly traded companies as well as the director of the cio staff at u.s. special operations command and i know the pressures that delivering on a system of this complexity. i know the pressures that are there. i assume that you and i have a common goal here today, and that is to make sure that the american people hear the truth. is that an accurate statement of? >> correct. >> given that then, would it be okay if you and i have an understanding because this is to the i.t. guys talking to one another. if i ask you question that you don't understand, would you ask me for clarification so that we can get to the bottom of it? because we want to dig down here into some things that are pertinent. >> yes, sir. >> under fisma, i.t. systems are required to stellar security baselines, incorporate them into applications and networks and testing to see that they are incorporated correctly. the use and review of this testing plan is typically known as a security control assessment. several of these control assessment for healthcare.gov were either not com

infrastructure and the idea of leveraging and better targeting that the chamber of commerce and the afl-cio came out together to announce plans in that area years ago, democratic and republican governors held hands as they, you know, announced plans in those areas. there's other areas like preschool. i can't tell you, you know, what the bipartisan prospects are for that right now, but i can tell you the president's preschool ideas are motivated in part by the work of nobel prize winner economist james heckman, who's a republican but has done the numbers and finds that's among the highest rate of return you have in terms of investments in education. you know, finally, i would say business tax reform is something where i think there's an increasing amount of convergence in views on the topic. >> do you specifically, when you look at the agenda you're advancing, overlay kind of the reality of the political process in terms of thinking about what initiatives should get priorities? in other words, i think one of the issues we've had in terms of trying to make a difference against this middle-ski

we've had corporate lobbyists oftentimes involved in negotiating these trade agreements, but the afl-ciohasn't been involved. ordinary working people have not been involved. and we've got to make sure that our agreements are good for everybody because globalization right now is creating winners and losers. but the problem is, it's the same winners and the same losers each and every time. >> what do you suppose is the influence on president obama that caused him to reverse course on nafta and not fulfill what was a campaign pledge? >> well, i think it's the nature of politics in the united states. i mean, it's not a secret. you know, you have very powerful politically, economically people who, you know, are pushing for this. and you know, we saw this with wall street, you know, when president obama first came into office. you know, at that point, you know, wall street is on its back, meaning the financial industry. and basically president obama had it in his ability to break up the big banks, totally restructure finance. he decided not to go that route. and his top advisors, well robert r

during congress and actually, greg, even in their own words one of the memorandumss issued y cms by the ciod off on the authorization signed off on a finding that the threat and risk potential is limitless and gave cms until may 31st, 2014, to fix it. right now, that threat and risk potential is still limitless on november 30th. >> how can this be, morgan? i mean, with all the money that was spent on this thing, taxpayer money, how could it be that this thing is so flawed? >> greg, i would say two things. number one we this go fever. this is the lesson they learned from the "challenger" launch, the o rings. people were so fixed this would launch no matter what and the second problem is lack of accountability and leadership. no one person with an overall charge, was in overall charge of this. they waited to put a captain on the ship after the titanic hit the iceberg. you have to have someone with responsibility, accountability and authority to make changes and there were too many turf battles going on for that to happen. >> they didn't have the bandwidth to handle the demand and now they're

joining us onset is john biner, cio and co-head of fixed income.billion in assets. and jonathan, we've been talking about what it means for the fed. what it's going to mean for the ten-year, bond prices overall. don't you think this is going to be something that can slide into easily if they start tapering? or is the market going to have a severe reaction? >> well, i think the actual tapering itself may not cause a severe reaction. i'm really hoping they're going to do it soon so we can stop saying the word taper. i would say the market is ready for a reduction in the asset purchases. i think the market is a little bit on edge, though. because in some sense the fed's been the biggest buyer of fixed income instruments for a while now. so investors are not sure of the price they see on the screen. is that the real price? >> right. >> once the fed starts to step away, you know, where are we going to settle out? >> it's going to be interesting. what do you think? is it creating a big distortion in prices right now? >> well, we do think that interest ra
