i will be significant thing that has happened in dod and the last 30 years. tohave got to figure out how work together. no top line in the word -- world is going to satisfy requirements if we do not deal with these costs drivers that are there and present every day. >> yeah. to pick up on both what they said, if you look at the big downturns in defense spending korea, inld war ii and each instance, we were able to generate considerable savings. the size of the strength of the force had grown considerably in each of those conflicts. , savings could be derived by cutting the size of the army and the air force, etc. what is different about the current situation is over the last 10 years, the strength has increased that much. the expense of the force has. that does mean that rudy is right. we have to get at the embedded costs. it is a microcosm in some sense of entitlement problem we face as a nation. it would be difficult to do politically. personnel costs over the last decade has grown at 4.2% and adjusted for inflation. if you project that out, i think in 2024

i want the dod today to put those civilian dod employees back to work, as is clearly in the law. there is historical precedent for this all the way back to ronald reagan times with tip o'neill and their six close downs, that the employees were paid to reimburse for their time off. so we should be for this effort. this is bipartisan. the president said he would sign this. i urge my colleagues to support this effort. i yield back. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from maryland. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i yield one minute to mr. van hollen from marilyn. >> chair recognizes the gentleman from maryland. >> thank you. no one should be made to suffer for actions that are no fault of their own, so i'm very pleased we are taking up this measure to ensure that dedicated federal workers, who are among the many innocent victims of this government shutdown, will be held harmless in the long run, but this important measure simply highlights the sheer folly of keeping the federal government shut down for one additional minute. these are public servants who are paid to do what they love

dod personnel are participating in both the joint security committee led by the somali government and the somalia working group led by the united nations. moreover, we have made a concerted effort to increase our engagement with officials. ,his summer the commander general rodriguez made his initial visit to mogadishu. visited thegel president on somalia and his chief of defense at the pentagon. these face-to-face engagement have been critical in identifying and better understanding somali needs and concerns. in conclusion, somali will continue to present a set of challenges and opportunities. with sustained assistance from the united states and other international partners tom somalia's national security apparatus will be better positioned to fend off the al- shabaab insurgency and transform the fragile state into a success story. thank you for your support to our men and women in uniform and our dedicated team of civilian officials from the old look forward to working with you on somalia and the other. >> assistant secretary nancy lindborg. thank you. i really appreciate the opportu

hagel said the law allows the dod to eliminate furloughs whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well- being, and readiness of service members. over the weekend, the house passed a bill including backpay to workers who have been furloughed. no work on when the senate may vote. >> the dod decision means if you were furloughs for lockheed martin employees. to company now plans furlough about 2400 workers. lockheed originally planned to furlough about 3000 employees because of the shut down. the number is expected to increase if the shutdown continues. lockheed employs more than 5000 people in montgomery county alone. >> the supreme court began a new term today. several high-profile cases to consider. it includes campaign i nantz, or vented action, and public prayer. they will hear arguments on whether the president has ll keyive power to fi positions without recess appointments. >> the animals from the aquarium will arrive at their new home today. they are transferring 38 animals to the main facility in baltimore here at each animal will be checked out before going on display. ani

that pushes into the dod and they further the attack. >> last question. now supposedly this guy al-liby is bringing back to the united states. how is that being accomplished? are they strapping him to the wing of the airplane? how do you bring back someone that you catake from another country? >>> oo when we do that first we try to get whatever type of information we get before we bring them back in country. what was the real mission? was if more political? >> i want to know physically. this guy is now on the way back here. he is out of libya. where is he? >> what happens is the military will do the attack and then the hrt dukes over. >> hostage rescue team. >> quickly what is your take? >> our take is we don't have a path to dealing with them right now. we normally would take someone to guantanamo they want to try them in new york. i don't think there's a clear path for that. >> tony and jonathan thank you for being with us this evening. coming up, more on yesterday's daring terror raid. now that we have got al-liby what do we do with him? we are going t

if sequestration continues, dod investment will be impacted. that is expected to grow in fiscal years 2015. this hearing will focus on those impacts. for the end of fiscal year 2013, the government accountability office has reported to the subcommittee that approximately 30% of sequestered funding for investment account has been taken from prior year unobligated funds. additionally, some funding requirements for fiscal year 2013 have been pushing to fiscal year 2014, creating must pay bills during this fiscal year. these actions have allowed the government to delay the affects of sequestration on-- investment. the situation will be different. although sequestration is an approximate 9% decrease, the military pay and wounded warriors program am not be subject to sequestration decreases. this means that investment accounts are likely to see an approximate 40% decrease in in fiscal year 4.1 if this continues, the combined impacts will continue to increase and affecting every acquisition program and severely impacting future readiness and leaving t

. >> this is an exchange between the dod and congressman kaufman. let's roll that. >> you chose to do an interpretation to dismaximize pain. you've compounded the problem by your conduct and how you've misinterpreted this law. >> i resent your marks. i acted on the advice of attorneys and our best reading of a loosely worded law. we did our best. it was not a political judgment. >> that is outrageous. what is that congressman's name? that bum. why didn't you write the law clearer? you didn't. now you want to come back to get these people. chuck hagel is a veteran and you're not. that's the worst politics i've seen in this whole thing. >> bob, he did respond. i acted on the advice of attorneys. that's courageous. why didn't you say i acted on behalf of the fallen troops. >> i understand that. dana's formulation was right. attorneys reacted to what was a badly written law that did not specify this. it was a republican law. what are you going to say? you should have caught it. >> i don't think you can call it republican law. they all took credit from t

and it is saddening, depressing and embarrassing that dod would try to stick by this. because every day they wouldn't admit they're wrong, families are getting dismissed. >> and i know as you say, you could say them in your letter of inappropriate judgment, you say they're deflecting responsibility for this. why would they? one would think the department of defense would want to honor them as the rest of the country does. >> why would they send back bodies in rented cargo planes that were not even military planes, why do they buy $80 toilet seats? the reason is they make bad decisions sometimes. and this is one of those decisions, instead of admitting we got this wrong. we're fix it. for some reason they are digging their heels in. i'm not sure why, frankly. it is very easy to say we have three other lawyers here, we can do it, let's just pay it. they can could do it tonight. literally tonight, this money could be wire transferred in the morning to these families. it is that easy for them to fix this. they don't have to wait for congress. >> you know, sergeant patrick

if you project that out, i think in 2024, it becomes the entire dod budget. that will not happen obviously. what highlights is the danger of that crowding out of other defense investments and acquisitions and capabilities that we will need in the future. brad talk to lead a bit -- talked a little bit about how we make sure we have the right mix of capability that we want in the future? there is a question of who you trade off current capacity for readiness for future capabilities? even if we are looking at only the $500 billion in cuts over 10 years, money has got to come from somewhere. there is a limited number of places where you can generate that from. secretary hagel and the vice chairman, when they announced the results of the strategic choices in management review back in july, they want to prioritize and emphasize the feature capability and we are willing to take some risk in current capacity. i think in an ideal world, all of us would say that. i would say that there is a bit of a danger. one of the things we have not talked about as a panel put on t

all dod civilian employees who were included in the act which is now law.hat there would be furloughs starting immediately. despite acknowledgment of the new law grade media sources reported the secretary of defense had a change of heart. no doubt due to the multitude of letters he had received from me and my colleagues on the subject and decided to bring these furloughed employees back to work. shame if the thousands of dod civilian employees who were needlessly furloughed were not paid for time they could have spent working had the secretary given the same level of a party to tos issue that needed college football. thank you and i yield back. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from maryland. i yield 45 seconds to the congressman from new mexico. >> the chair recognizes the gentleman from new mexico. >> i rise in support of this bill which is important to new mexico.oyees in it's also important for contract employees who work at our next labs and it's clear congress intends to provide vital services. treat labs sought to employees the same as federal em

i don't think anybody in our dod would do that.t past, at least some people in the administration. jenna: you have said it's a boneheaded decision. there is still a question about who is the one that made this decision and who is enforcing it. who is it? >> we don't know. bet me show you. this is the actual law. it is two pages. it is not complicated. it says such sums as are necessary to provide pay and allowances to the members about armed forces. that is what the dod is saying does not provide for these families of the fallen. we say that they're wrong. moreover, we checked with them before passing this to explicitly make sure this stuff was covered. congress is a lot of things but you have smart people here. we're not all stupid. we checked on this last month preshutdown and dod said this works. for them to now come back and say it is on congress again is total baloney. jenna: baloney. we'll take the baloney. thank you, sir for that. we know your sentiment. that is all right. talk to me a little bit the timeline. i want to nail

i will be significant thing that has happened in dod and the last 30 years. we have got to figure out how to work together. no top line in the word -- world is going to satisfy requirements if we do not deal with these costs drivers that are there and present every day. >> yeah. to pick up on both what they said, if you look at the big downturns in defense spending after world war ii and korea, in each instance, we were able to generate considerable savings. the size of the strength of the force had grown considerably in each of those conflicts. largely, savings could be derived by cutting the size of the army and the air force, etc. what is different about the current situation is over the last 10 years, the strength has increased that much. the expense of the force has. that does mean that rudy is right. we have to get at the embedded costs. it is a microcosm in some sense of entitlement problem we face as a nation. it would be difficult to do politically. personnel costs over the last decade has grown at 4.2% and adjusted for inflation. if you project that

earlier this year, in our strategy choices and management review, dod explained how the continuationf these abrupt cuts put us at risk of fielding a force that is unprepared due to a lack of training, maintenance, and the latest equipment. dod has a responsibility to give america's elected leaders and the american people a clear-eyed assessment of what our military can and cannot do after years of sequester-level cuts. in the months ahead, we will continue to provide our best and most honest assessment as congress works to establish the nation's long-term spending priorities. that is my statement, and i'd be happy to respond to a couple questions. thank you. lita? >> mr. secretary, you mentioned consequences. as you look down the road -- i think mr. hale addressed this at one of his briefings -- there already are some reviews of how many civilians and how much force reduction overall there will have to be, reductions in force. can you talk a little bit about, as you look ahead, what are you warning congress and the country about in terms of the number of forces that you're going to h

the language was not specific enough to give the dod lawyers the ability to pay these $100,000.n what makes matters more complicated, the dod was not allowed to go out and solicit charities and others to fill the gap. that would have been an ethics violation. but when fisher house, who works with veteran families, came purdue and eaverred, they were able to make sure the families would get paid, and that's when the president stepped in -- excuse me -- congress unanimously passed a new law, the president signed it last night, and it all became a moot point. >> i'm glad the got it done. now just get the rest of it fixes. >>> the airline that managed to lose a woman's dog. and then the spokesman's response. be careful when writing e-mails. if you mean to send something kind of behind closed doors so a colleague, don't accidentally send it to a television station. it's quite a thing coming up. animal lovers unite. eh. it's a growing trend in business: do more with less with ss energy.hp is help. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the

public that the department would be legally unable to pay death benefits were there to be a lapse in dod appropriations and unfortunately, said the administration, this issue was not explicitly addressed as part of the pay our military act, which congress did pass last week. the president was very disturbed to learn of this problem and directed dod to work with omb and his lawyers to develop a possible solution. well, this, of course, is counteracted by duncan hunter and other republican members of congress and the military branch who say that they believe that the pay our military act did cover it. so you've got this additional dispute between both ends of pennsylvania avenue as to whether the congressional fix worked or didn't. in any case, it obviously didn't work because the death benefits aren't being paid. now the house is voting this afternoon. then it will go to the senate. there could be unanimous consent. the senate could take it up quickly as the house has. jack, the larger issue is the role of the military in our society, they are -- you and all of your fellow veterans are in

i announced department of defense is resuming operations now that congress has restored funding for dod and the rest of the federal government. while all of us welcome the fact that the shutdown is now behind us, i know its impact will continue to be felt by all of our people. all of them in different ways had their lives affected and is trusted during this time of tremendous uncertainty. in particular, i am deeply aware of the harm the shutdown infected on so many of our civilian personnel. all of our leaders, civilian and military alike, regret what the shutdown has done to our people. and we will work to repair the damage today. echoing what president obama said earlier today, i want all of our civilian personnel to know the work they do is critically important to this department and this country. it matters to this department, and it matters to the country. the military simply cannot succeed without our civilian employees, and the president and i appreciate the professionalism and patience of them throughout this trying time. not that this crisis has become history and we have come

the weekend announcement that ended the furlough for most dod employees put some other people back to work. it's led to united technology to bring back workers. it's in a division which builds black hawk helicopters. lockheed martin, however, is continuing with today's layoff of 3,000 employees until it can confirm hagel's announcement with the pentagon. >>> asian markets were lower amid rising concerns about the u.s. debt ceiling. tokyo's nikkei fell more than 1%. hong kong's hang seng lost half a percent. a strong ending to the week on wall street wasn't enough to undo the damage to the dow as investors worry about the ongoing government shutdown. the dow shed 259 points last week while the nasdaq finished the week up 20. >>> japan airlines announced this morning it's ordering a dozens of new jets from airbus. they're ordering a-350 jets worth $9.5 billion with an option to buy another 25 of the planes. it's to defeat boeing which has long dominated the japanese market. >>> good news for commuters this morning if you're stopping by the gas station on your way to work to fill up. the
