peace corps is a great brand. people love peace corps. many people feel it's the best face of america overseas. this is just really exciting? >> the application process, what do you look for? you talked about skills. but what overall do you look for as far as if a person is a goods candidate for it ort: not? >> we look a lot at their motivation for service. the way we look at that is whether or not they have ever done community service, if they have studied a language, have d indicated an interest in helpin others. to see evidence that they are resilient, that they were able to work through a tough problem.ce can b peace corps service can be illse tough. and then we look at whatever skills they bring. did they have any turterring experience, have they served ine a food vibank? we're just looking for evidencee that they would ber. successfuls a volunteer. i would also say that we have ae excellent training program, very strong. even mor e rigorous because of the reform effort that we have been under going over the last few years.aboratio i

the corps' failure to defend the public safety is because of a serious lack of leadership by the corps, in my opinion. one such project in my congressional district is the ridge road extension. a much-needed route for hurricane evacuation. for over two decades -- two decades this project has been the permitting process because of the bureaucratic paper shuffling and duplicative environmental studies. during this time of scarce taxpayer dollars and economic uncertainty, we have pending infrastructure projects that can create jobs and protect the public, but the corps often drags out the application process to push the applicant to draw up their application out of fear that the agency will have to engage in litigation. . these lawsuits are solely to kill safety public projects. i note this bill's committee report which says, and i quote, the committee is concerned that the administration has not been taking congressional direction seriously. in regards to these permit projects, there's clearly a serious leadership problem at the agency. this is an opportunity for the administration to ac

i always wanted to be in the peace corps. host: we're talking about the peace corps.dan, ohio, republican line. yes, good morning. thank you for taking my call. question one, if i want to go to macedonia as part of the peace farming skills, how much money would it cost me to join the peace corps? money-wise, i am talking about time away from my family. do you get to go home for vacation? is it two years solid? question.at thank you for that. if you want to be a volunteer in macedonia, go to our website and click on the europe, mediterranean, and asia but in, and then you could explore the opportunities in macedonia. you can see if you qualify for those programs. if you are a farmer or a businessman, i think you said skills you ever life offer, we would evaluate that and see whether or not you qualify. if you go to our website, you will see exactly what is needed for each country program. it is a 27-month commitment for the regular two-year peace corps program. it involves three months of training and then 24 months of service. calleds another program these response, w

the officer corps in the afghan army is about 40% pashtun. the nco corps is about the same. the forces are about the same. that's a slight overrepresentation of tajiks in a sense that the pashtun population represents some 40-plus percentage of the population and about 27% of the population is tajik. i would carry out those statistics by telling you there hasn't been a census in afghanistan for a long period of time. so those statistics are the best that we have available to us. but in general terms, we have the foundation of a national army in afghanistan that is, in fact, representative of not only the various ethnic groups but representative geographically. >> is this representation integrated throughout the force? in other words, are individual battalions or units balanced ethnically? >> senator, they are. they are balanced. there is a slight overrepresentation of forces from the northern part of the country, and eastern part of the country. slightly less from the southern part of the country. but the demographics in each of the units represents the nation as a whole. as

will have is to balance readiness and crisis response capability do you expect from the dream corps with the ability to modernize this and sustain infrastructure and maintain proper levels of training for those units and so forth. balancing all of those is going to be very difficult. another general has prioritized readiness and he's been forced to make some decisions that create such challenges in the future for modernization. so i think bouncing those things will be difficult. >> thank you. >> we thank the senators. senator mccain remark. >> thank you, senators. thank you gentlemen. >> this is a joke and i had to explain all of this. and it's the only appropriate mark of respect that i have gotten from my colleagues and i think the general, thank you for your outstanding service. we have had the opportunity over the past 12 and 13, 14 years, and i appreciate your service elmont. i am really reluctant to get back into this. but people keep trying to say that 2008 we said that we'd have everyone out, that we really wanted this day in iraq and the fact is that the president of the united

what are your biggest concerns regarding readiness today in the corps? >> general amos has discerned that all marines are in a state of readiness, so those forces are well equipped and well trained. having said that, we paid the cost over the years for making sure those marines that are engaged are at a cost mission. today our stations are in the greatest state of readiness. that's largely an equipment readiness issue. today as a result of the years of war and wear and tear on our equipment. so certainly one of the key things would be to ensure that we had the resources necessary to reset that equipment that will be coming out of afghanistan, and as you may know, senator, we've identified a minimum of two years as a window of time where we continue to need funding for that very reason, to reset that force and have the force be what you would expect it to be, which is not halfway ready but completely ready to do what the nation asks it to do. >> what are your top priorities for force as you come into commandant? >> i think broadly speaking, the critical t

grant, the day before, finally sent the rest of the corps along with the 19th corps which was down in new orleans. instead, they stayed on the train and went to city point. they got on ships up the potomac river this time. they got off at the old 6th street. citizens were there to greet them, including president lincoln, they gave them a icewater, sandwiches. they cheered because people were panicking when they heard the confederates were out at the gate. they then marched up georgia avenue. they went new the smithsonian. they got out here in the mid afternoon on july 11 and they took part in the fighting that happened. that fighting went into the night. after that, early held a council of war out in silver spring which is a couple of miles from here at the blair -- at the mansion called the silver spring. it was the blair mansion. they were a very prominent family. they were out of town. they had gone fishing in pennsylvania. early held a council of war that night with his generals. john breckenridge was the former vice president of the united states with james buchanan. he was a con

confirmed what is your goal with regard to combat integration into the marine corps? >> senator i'm aware of the direction of secretary panetta put forth in february 2013 and since that time general amos has outlined a deliberate and responsible measured approach. there is an analysis that went in for many recommendations for exception to the direction of secretary panetta outlined in to avoid to 13 and a memorial that recommendation would have to be made by january 2016. any recommendation would be informed by the research being done about the impact of the combat effectiveness of the rumor inquiry. >> is the research you are referring to the review of standards that meet the physical needs of the task. >> that is a piece of the research that is being done senator. >> if confirmed do you confirm to keep my office apprised and whether there will be exceptions? >> you do, senator. >> what phase of implementation is the marine corps now? what is your timeline? >> senator i would have to get back to you. i know we are prepared to make a recommendation by the deadline of

yesterday, the corps announced plans to reverse that trend.ector carrie hessler-radelet joins me now. >> thank you. it's a privilege to be here. >> ifill: tell me, 53 years, what are the changes you've announced? >> we actually started this four years ago as part of a planned reform to upgrade all aspects of our operations and really modernize the peace corps. we focused the first four years on improving support we provide to volunteers -- so health, safety, technical and program support so they can do their jobs effectively. so we strengthen our base first, and now we're ready to ramp up our application numbers. >> ifill: let's talk about the application numbers. i read today there were 30,000 incomplete applications made in nine months. why were the applications not completed? >> the former process was cumbersome and long. it used to take eight hours to apply for the peace corps. >> ifill: eight hours? f you printed it out, it would be 60 pages. now we have a process that takes less than one hour to complete. it's much more user friendly, fa

the corps of engineers and e.p.a. recent -- clean water act. the corps of engineers and e.p.a. recently had a definition of navigable waters and their review needs to move forward of the ambiguity created by supreme court rulings in 2001 and 2006. despite strong disagreements regarding the merits of the proposed rule, these issues should be resolved through the rulemaking process, not in this bill, and by preemptively stopping any efforts to update the definition of fill materials, this bill ensures that communities in coal country will continue to live with public health threats and environmental consequences of mountain top removal mining. lastly, this bill does not do nearly enough to address the incredibly damaging effects of climate change. rising sea levels, increased flooding from torrential downpours, hurricanes demonstrate the overwhelming need to invest in new water infrastructure to safeguard our communities. yet, this subcommittee can't invest in new projects because its allocation is dwarfed by the growing backlog of ongoing projects which includes projects that wi

this house unanimously passed similar language to rein in the corps last year. let us remind these agencies that we write the law, not unphone federal bureaucrats and the law applies not just to average americans but to the federal government as well. i yield. the chair: does the gentleman reserves the balance of his time? the gentleman reserves. for what purpose does the gentleman from virginia seek recognition? mr. moran: i rise in opposition to this amendment. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. mr. moran: thank you, madam chairwoman. i rise in opposition to this amendment because it is not else in. it does not achieve the stated intent. contrary to a lot of misinformation and much of it deliberate, i'm afraid, that has been circulated, farmers do not need a corps of engineers or even an e.p.a. permit to dig a ditch, to till a field, to create a reservoir, to irrigate their fields. congress collarified this issue more than 35 years ago when it passed the 1977 amendments to the clean water act. those amendments established a well-reasoned

and senior members of the officer corps. embarked upon a major project. the declared purpose of which was to ensure that in future conflicts there would be no fratricide as it was as it was called. and i think that. in essence in declaring friendly fire casualties to be unacceptable despite the fact that they have been commonplace throughout all of military history. the military itself therefore set the bar that much higher in terms of what the public would expect. from that point forward due to issues in the handling of friendly fire cases during the gulf war the army completely revised regulations regarding the casualty reporting a friendly fire regulations now require that families be informed and accurate and timely manner when friendly fire is suspected further the army must notify families within days of an investigation into a suspected friendly fire incident i think the phenomenon of friendly fire probably extends back to the invention of gunpowder war is probably the most complex and difficult to pass. such world war two. we've invented a lot of

"the attack was a feeble one, and a failure, with a loss to my corps of about 1300 men and killed and wounded." it was alls hood feeble attack and we only lost 1300 men. that inically repeats his official record, and in most books you read, hood is really criticized for complaining there were not enough casualties at jonesboro. but he was basically just reporting all that he knew, because that is what lee had reported to him. here's another one. this is a portion of a much tribute thate, came out in the new orleans newspaper nine days after john bell hood died.
