, and as such, the marine corps reserve is i integrated in all areas of the marine corps as never before. since 2001, this great nation required the marine corps reserve to be continuously engaged in combat operations in iraq and afghanistan as well as in regional security cooperation and crisis prevention activities and support various geographical combatant commanders. almost 80,000 reservists have been activated or mobilized since september 11th. this operational tempo has built a momentum among our war fighters and a depth of experience throughout our ranks that is unprecedented in the generations of marine corps reservists. this operational tempo has enabled the marine force's reserve to evolve from a strategic cold war reserve to an operational force capable of simultaneously filling both roles. both the strategic and the operational role. in the operational role, marine forces reserve has sourced, preplanned rotational and routine combatant commander and service requirements across a variety of military operations. marine forces reserve continues to perform its strategic role with

the proprietors of news corp. have the night, under oath, at a limited inquiry. >> members must calmed down, there will be opportunity for questioning. >> news corp. has denied, under oath, any type of deal. let me make this last point. we would not have a newspaper with center-right to be used to change the newspaper of the lifetime. it was bad for our country and we ought to go. while i have said that the relationship between politicians and the media has been too close, i know that none of the people opposite have disclosed any of the meetings they had with news international or other newspaper executives while they were in office. while the country wants to hear about the challenges we face, how they play one-sided party politics. instead of using it for political purposes, is its [unintelligible] [inaudible] >> mr. speaker, the reason why is essential for the prime minister to come to the house today is that the culture secretary is in clear breach of the ministerial cut. the prime minister stands by and does

corps addresses the department's language needs? as well as any plans to further develop the corps? >> yes, sir. the service corps recruited -- there's about 2,200 members at this point and about 500 more applicants. i mentioned before that this represents about 196 languages around the world. there's a national pool that looks like our inactive reserve and dedicated pool that looks like our active reserve. and what this means is it is truly a surge capacity for those emergent needs that need to be filled. that dedicated pool represents a predictable and very broad capacity for languages that are not commonly found. several geographic combatant commanders, you know, to include pay com and africom are regularly drawing from this. our nato-oriented units are drawing on these capabilities as well as key agencies. non-dod agencies and we've heard from some of them today include everywhere from fbi to fema, irs, department of justice, center for disease prevention, and several states, individual states have drawn from this service corps.

as such, they are integrated in all areas of the marine corps as ever before. since 2001, the required the reserve to be continuously engaged in combat operations in iraq and afghanistan as well as in regional crisis prevention activities. almost 80,000 reservists have been activated or mobilize since september 11. this tempo has built a momentum among our war fighters with a depth of experience that is unprecedented in the generations of marine corps reservist. this operational tempo as an able the marine force reserve to evolve from a strategic reserve to an operational force capable of filling pulp roles, the strategic and the operational. in the operational role, and they have source comment preplanned, and routine combat and requirements. they continue to perform its role with focus readiness that in abels -- enables a transition. we have almost 1500 marines and sailors deployed on five continents in support of six battened commanders including operations in afghanistan and activities by the task force in eastern africa. as they reshaped from 2001 to 182,

but in a statement, news corp fired back. "news corporation regrets, however, that the select committee's analysis of the factual record was followed by some commentary that we, and indeed several members of the committee, consider unjustified and highly partisan." still, shareholder activists are pressing for a vote to limit murdoch's control of the board and bring more accountability to one of the world's true media empires. >> the board has been saying for six months, since the annual meeting where they got the unprecedented vote against them, that "watch this space." and investors have been watching for six months and they've heard nothing. >> reporter: some investors would be happy to see chase carey take over as c.e.o., since his roots are in the fast- growing entertainment business, not the slow-growing and now scandal plagued newspaper business. >> the best thing that could happen if murdoch were to step aside and chase carey were to take over is to just rename the whole puppy "fox," because that's all that wall stree

i'm also pleased that the army and marine corps -- i'm also pleased that the army and marine corps has funded facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization at the 90% level, which is the dod's stated goal. unfortunately, the air force and navy funded this same fsrm at 82% and 80% respectively. i'd like to hear from the air force and the navy what level of risk they are taking on as a result of these lower funding levels and what steps they plan to take to avoid large bills down the road. finally, we have learned the department of defense will face at least a $1.3 billion bill as a result of the rise in fuel prices. this price increase has been exacerbated by the continued closure of the pakistan border, forcing supply convoys for our force in afghanistan to use the northern distribution network at an increased expense of about $38 million per month. given all of these challenges we face, we must strive to protect our readiness accounts, but we can also do a better job in managing funds like operation and maintenance. we can improve the execution rates and unobligated balances i

corps of engineers have expertise building these facilities. in fact, they don't have expertise in that. this building is a one-of-a-kind nuclear facility. ar army corps of engineers, this particular sect of it builds office and medical and housing facilities. it doesn't build one of a kind nuclear facilities. in addition to that, we're taking away the focus where d.o.d. is building and may take away some major projects the d.o.d. has to build. the united states army corps of engineers may not have a better records than the nnsa construction track record. for example the lock and dam that began as a $745 million project is now more than a $3 billion project. again, their expertise does not lie in this one-of-a-kind nuclear facility. but what this really brings to a head is this whole issue of civilian control over nuclear weapons facilities. i believe that's an important distinction, we should have concerns that the d.o.d. has even more of a hand on our nuclear facilities. i think that it's incredibly important that we not do this amendment. we

we say something for army and marine corps. army and marine corps are two services that are facing the most titanic transitions as the iraq and afghanistan wars wind down because they have been so deeply and wholeheartedly committed to those two conflicts. and they're trying to make a transition from this necessary focus on counterinsurgency or coin over the last decade to a wider spectrum of capabilities that we need for the future so they are the dominant ground force, full spectrum combat capability best in the world future. that's what we want. so we are not going to size the army or the marine corps for long protracted stability operations any longer. thee not going to retain large rotation forces that we have needed to constantly rotate brigades in and out of iraq and afghanistan. we're not going to retain it not because we are abandoning coin. as i said we are going to retain that important and hard one excellence in coin, but we don't need the bulk of the force structure. you can't predict the future. obviously no one w

and other corps resources. we are reducing the size of the corps to a proven leadership. we are expanding our reach to deploy experts from inside or outside of the government on a pay as you use basis. instead of keeping a large-standing staff just in case of an eventuality, we are moving to deploy the right person to the right place just in time while expanding our partnerships. for example, this is one of my favorite stories, we recently got a call from the ambassador in liberia seeking our help. the day before the presidential runoff in november, a demonstration turned violent and one person was killed and eight injured by gunfire. some felt the police were implicated. the liberian commission set up to investigate the incident. didn't have the capacity to conduct an inquiry which put the credibility and goodwill of the government at risk. cso sent an expert from the justice department and your civilian response corps who insured the investigation was on track. liberian investigators interviewed 70 or 80 peop

we should note news corp. did trip a key limit at the fcc that places a limit over foreign stock ownership in its b shares. a person familiar with the matter told me, though, its moves to strip voting power to certain non-u.s. holders did allay that problem. it will prepare to renew licenses for its fox affiliate stationings in the mid-atlantic region. >> thank you very much. kate kelly and another ceo in trouble. chesapeake's aubrey mcclendon. kate? >> aubrey mcclendon, you're right, is in the hot seat again. this morning his board of chesapeake energy announced plans to replace him as chairman with a new chairman they will find who has no previous ties to the company. they're hoping to have that person in place for a vote by the shareholder meeting, which is in early june. but that process is under way. there's no guarantee as to how fast it will happen. meantime, aubrey mcclendon remains chairman and ceo. the other thing they announced this morning, interesting development, the founder's well participation

now, right now news corp. is facing u.s.artment investigations for alleged bribery in russia, in china, and in the uk, paying off british police officers. it's facing major shareholder resolutions to break up the murdoch family control of the company. what we're looking at is close to a shareholder revolt within news corp. and this powerful language about rupert murdoch himself is going to fuel all that. it's very hard to say exactly what the impact is going to be, but especially in terms of those shareholder resolutions, i think this is going to be very powerful. >> michael, when we talk about the fact of this being very powerful, how does it then talk about the holdings and the future of news corp. in general? >> that's what i'm getting at. i think the most immediate impact is on the shareholder resolutions. the company was already facing a lot of them in its last annual meeting, saying that the revelations about widespread phone hacking in the united kingdom raised questions about the murdoch family stewardship of news co

if you want to see how news corps in the u.k. operates, the current mp and chancellors, including tony blair and gordon brown and former chancellor is one -- might want to reveal their taiex and e-mails to company executives. these people crowded our country. they brought shane -- shame on our police force. they lied and cheated, blackmailed and boley. we should be ashamed to think how we cower before them for so long. to stop requires more than to agonistic retribution. those really responsible are held to account. the rich and powerful are as low in the face of the law is the most humble and week. in the words of bob dylan, the ladder of law has no top and bottom. everyone in the world knows who is responsible for the wrongdoing at news corp., rupert murdoch. more than any individual alive, he is to blame. the deeds are his. he pay the piper and he called the tune. it is his company, his culture, his people, his business, his failures, his lies, his crimes, the price of profits and his power. >> thank you. it is fair to say --

army and marine corps is a little bit different. large numbers of the jobs, the billets both the units and occupations are closed to women because they're infantry, armor, special forces or short range field artillery. and because so many jobs are closed to women, it drives the number of women below say what the air force could take. on the other hand, particularly the army, since the gulf war began could recruit more women if more women particularly on the enlisted side wanted to enlisted in army. so they have not run out of room for women, but fewer women have actually enlisted in the army. percentage wide, the army is about 13% are now women. officers, it's closer to 16%. so there are limitations on the number that can be allowed initial entry, but it's not a formal quota. also, over the past couple of years, the service academy, west point, naval academy and air force academy, they used to artificially, i think, this is me speaking, lower the -- keep a lid on the number of women going through the academies. it was sort of not of
