mark johnson -- bart johnson, dhs principle undersecretary for intelligence and analysis, is leading these efforts on behalf of secretary napolitano and undersecretary wagner. bart has an incredible perspective on these matters having spent most of his career with the new york state police culminating in the state fusion center. and just as he was getting it humming, the feds hired him away. so bart's a friend. he's participating in the panel immediately following my talk. we have also seen significant information-sharing improvements within individual agencies. many of these are documented in the annual report, many more are out there waiting to be celebrated. two examples from the intelligence community that, incidentally, my office had direct involvement in accomplishing. that's the nice thing about being government-wide, you know? seriously, a core part of my responsibility is identifying and extending best practices across the ise. this is kind of a soft power, there's no authority that's specific to this, but actually it's very, very powerful. i learned that lesson when i was a

at 8:00 a.m., he held a video conference to discuss this with dod, cia, dhs, faa > at 915, he discussed the threat with the president of yemen. at 10:00 a.m., he held a phone call to discuss the threat again with director mahleuller. at 10:15, the national security director and the deputy director discussed this with the president at his daily briefing. these were efforts that recorded out of the white house. as you can see from the run down, this has encompassed activities throughout the government but agencies or also doing a lot and they have been doing her a lot since they first made the president aware of last evening. i will direct some traffic while john answers questions. this is an active investigation involving sensitive intelligence soda there's a limit to what john will be able to talk about. >> if you can talk about what you now beyond the fact that this was from yemen, there are people who want to harm us. is there more that can be established to create a direct link beyond the country of origin? >> this is an ongoing investigation and we're working closely with our partne

second goal to secure the flow of people, cargo and goods is key to cbp and i would argue the dhs successenerally. a border enforcement is not just a matter of protecting the line. instead, our goal is to look at the border as a matter of securing the flow of people and goods, cargo and things as far away from the border and as early as we can. we see securing the flow of goods and people as being the essence of border management as opposed to the traditional view of waiting for this traffic to approach you at a point of entry airport, seaport and doing the inspection for the first time at the port. the sooner we can make this assessment the sooner people we have to inspect most intensively at the border and thereby we can engage in the risk segmentation is essential to the modern-day border management theory of managing risk. we don't open up every trumpet the border. we don't inspect every one of the 12 million containers could come into our ports, but we do so based on risk assessments and targeting using data and search engines thatermit us to translate threat streams and searches in

in addition to improving its oversight of contractors and demonstrating sound acquisition practices, dhs can improve its management of grants through greater streamlining of some of its programs and standardization of grant administration. so with that, i'd like to turn it to pat. >> if we could turn to slide 10, our work is also pointed to potential tunltss on the revenue side of the house. for example, tax expenditures, pref remember shall treatment in the tax code accounts for almost $1 trillion in 2009. we listed a number of examples of tax expenditures on this slide and i'll talk about a couple of them. the first one, the research tax credit. that credit totalled $6 billion in 2005. it's the latest information that we have on that particular credit. about a billion or about half of that went to corporations that had received over $1 billion a year. in addition to looking at the tax credit you also have to look at all of the other expenditures that the government makes on research across the board. we have direct expenses, grant programs, loan programs, loan guarantee programs. we do
