they didn't have the cooperation of dod.we have the cooperation, we can have the top military brass come. we can have fly-overs. all kind of military bans and everything else. it will be a grand, grandpa -- grand, grand, parade. to give the women and men the recognition they deserve nothing like a parade in the canyon of heroes with the full support of our nation's defense department and all sxt tra things that that entails. >> the history that weighs heavily here for me at least looking back at previous parade in the canyon of he rose is, its the vietnam war. an uncomfortable conflict for the nation, in terms of the politicalish -- political issues, in vietnam that translated to difficulties for veterans coming home. there was no parade for more than ten years. >> that was wrong. if people disagreed with the policies i think there was as much disagreement with iraq as the with vietnam. you don't take it tout on the people the vietnam dates. they were drafted. they served. they served noble and well. why was it different? on

with regard to the workplace violence designation that was based on the dod assessment.understand your concerns but i will refer you to the department of defense for questions. interestingly chairman will then ranking member fattah appropriately use these questions with dod ended may 2013 letter letter which acknowledge acknowledged in equipment the department of defense designated the attack by an major nidal has saw this quote workplace was something that determination was made by dod as opposed to doj. >> would you mind answering my question that i asked you? had it happen that your headquarters how would would you classify that? >> again you have to look at the totality of the circumstances. >> for the sake of the question assume the exact scenario that happened in ford had in 2009 that has a person of islamic dissent shouting out at bar and he was 30 people and kills 13 or 14 of them would you still take that as a position that was able workplace violence act and therefore under a terrorism statutes? speedy's are fact specific things so it would depend on what the p

there have been some growing pains, but i strongly believe the dod must maintain a clandestine humancapability which i have to say is sometimes challenged in the intelligence committee. how is dcs progressing and improving its capabilities, refining its requirements, moving officers into places where they can be most effective and integrating and coordinating with others in the intelligence community? from a budget perspective, money above the budget control act level via the bipartisan budget act was given back largely to the services. this puts a particular strain on agencies like yours. we're going to have to make, take some risk, but there is a breaking point. as your partners on the hill, we'd like to help you avoid that breaking point and manage your risk wherever possible. we'd also appreciate the benefits of your perspective on particular cuts and other parts of the department that could impair your activities such as the co-coms. and finally and fittingly, given today's hearing on the qdr, given yesterday's hearing on the qdr, i'd like to discuss the overall defense strategy

and that's by fms contract. >> that means we're supporting that from dod budget? >> no. that is the dollars they pay. >> and my final one for you all is if you could provide me a list -- and we've talked about this -- we want to make your job the best we possibly can, but if we have lulls, redundancies, things strapping you and holding you back no different from any of us that are requiring you to buy weapon or other support from our state that you might not want or need, we've got to get serious about this. we're asking you all and i really appreciate the military department of defense, secretary hagel, for putting a budget forward to try to address what the new modern defense department would look like. could you give me any list of any lulls you would like to see us try to help changes that will give you the ability to do your jobs? >> in fact, we're working on that right now. congressman thornebury from the state of texas has asked a similar question. he's asked us to identify legal and internal regulatory burdens we've put on ourselves awith programs. we'd be thrill

in terms of the talks, i dod think it will be good if we can make progress on that issue. >> [inaudible] the honorable gentleman will be heard. what is his response. the thoughtful report published last week. >> it is really important foried the future of our country also.u but for economic future to get more women into said subjects and engineering. we're working with employers professional bodies and academic institutions of engineering skills. the most powerful thing is role models. >> [inaudible] >> identify given the best possible answer that i could about attitude.this >> through this government long term economic pride. >> don't the prime minster think that the opening of a university technical college and a new college will enhance the ability of young people to compete in the global world?able >> my honorable friend, entirely right.erm long term using -- what we need to further down unemployment is make sure the trainingth opportunities and education is there. that's why university of technical college is so important. >> thank you mr. speaker. my constituent is to lose his ope

i also have the privilege of representing the dod interagency program office or the ipo is the acting director. my job and singular focus is to provide health care i.t. solutions to america's finest that support and defend this great nation. as you are aware, in 2009 we were called upon to work together and build a seamless system of integration. to that end the department is assuming complementarity efforts and the departments are working to provide seamless integrated sharing and standardized health data among dod and private sector providers and modernize our electronic health software and system supporting our clinicians. the respect of these tuples can be seen in three distinct programs. first, in january 2013, the secretary has committed to executing several opportunity initiatives and we knew that we could not wait to modernize our electronic health record system to see your care improvement. we are currently working in partnership with the va and among these efforts are the joint legacy viewer and improved data federation which combine access to an integrated view today of dod

tobacco use cost dod $1.6 billion amelie in medical costs and lost work tomorrow.e estimate 130,000 service members will die from smoking unless we can help them quit. u.s. navy is taking the lead in this, gretchen, reviewing tobacco sales on all of its bases and ships. >> i think because they want to turn the marine corps into a job corps -- peace corps, basically. i see it, for lack of a better term, the unmanning of the u.s. military. >> that was congressman duncan hunter. he himself was a marine who served in iraq. he said the very qualities that makes a war fighter want to fight and kill may also lead them to want to smoke. he says it restricts access to a legal product that service members have a right to purchase, gretchen. >> i'm wondering, here is the big question, has there been any reaction from the troops? >> there has been reaction percolating up to legislators on capitol hill and articles written in newspapers, the military times has bun an expose on this. the service chiefs we've spoken to said they had orders from dod and chuck hagel themselves they

i'm not sure i understood the question. >> some public in dod to -- [inaudible] >> we don't know yet. we're conducting as part of the investigation. we'll determine whether there were gaps and seams. if there were any, we'll take corrective action. [inaudible question] >> those are the type of -- talking about the heroism sort of thing, and protecting other soldiers. we're gathering all that information through the chain of command to find out what each soldier did. his actions, i'm not going to comment on that because i want to see the whole thing put together. [inaudible question] >> that's not what i said. what i said was the underlying medical conditions are not believed to be the precip indicating event -- precipitating event to the annual shooting. there's a difference. the precipitating event we think was this argument that occurred. different. [inaudible question] >> fully and come mensively investigate -- comprehensively investigated to the n agreeing. [inaudible question] >> no. last question. black black.

coast guard is facing major budget cuts come as is the dod. in closing, sure the conviction that i look forward to discussing these issues with your. >> i thank the distinguished panel. and i yield myself five minutes to ask my question. my question would be for you, they are is a number of initiatives in the western hemisphere that share the objective of improving citizen security, including this initiative in mexico and central america regional security initiative. in what ways have they applied this from the very submission terms. and i know there are different nuances, but i like your thoughts. and as i know, what you have different challenges with different countries. different levels of development. what we do try to do is to take the lessons learned and i think the case of columbia, that's one case where they are such a success story and they have become our partners. so use them to train some of the forces in central america, with investigative techniques, polygraph management, interdiction techniques and we take this in one part of th

that is followed by chuck hagel on dod's efforts to recover remains. examination of the candidates in the upcoming presidential election in afghanistan. >> hello. please, take your seats. welcome back. this next event, i promise is going to be interesting. it is a skype interview on the snowden revelations. skypes.ves four that is the miracle of modern technology and it will either work or not work. it is very tricky so somebody may go down, somebody may have a time delay which is happening with one of our three guests. analogous to the quadruple somersault ringling brothers. please, bear with us. we will have problems from time to time but we have an excellent team of techies. i know because i can understand anything a say. it is my pleasure to interview -- introduce our interviewer, roger cohen. thank you. [applause] >> good morning. we are going to rely on technology to try to bring this in balance and ignore whoever may or may not be listening. i think it is fair to say that in the immediate landscape there is a before and after edward snowden. nsa

bernie frank of the dod frank reform bill said that might not be bad. >> they have toughened themselves up and even though city, while they didn't get what they want in terms of dividends, is in better shape. >> reporter: new technologies mean new hurdles for regulators, invasions in online banking and payments bring new threats. cyber security seen as major changes for the industry today. >> that's a major challenge for the industry and regulators to make sure that our banking system is resilient. >> reporter: even as washington works to protect consumers, regulation always has unintended consequences. >> it's going so far that it's beginning inpaid on their ability to focus on strategy, business operations and other elements necessary for leaders and board of directors properly guided businesses. >> reporter: here at the future of national banking conference, attendees have expressed mixed feelings how this wealth of new regulation will be. one thing both sides will agree on, we won't know for sure until the next financial crisis. for "nightly business report", i'm kayla tausche. >> d

my question has to do with dod. hold them responsible for this path that is supposed to be on track for 2017? had we support them to ensure that they have the goodwill they need to get their job done? you.will start with >> on russia -- i don't know that i have any more to say about it. i think that nato deployments are an important signal to our allies. and i assume to russia. the alliance is important to us and our partners. they do need to consider that. i think that the nonlethal aid and the national support to ukraine is important. on the to move faster association agreement. i think there is only one way that the government has handled that, not towards russia. as well, they are not asking for my advice, so i did not give it to them. any time the pro-russian asaratists take osc monitors hostages, that only helps the united states. andhows how uncoordinated amateurish and reactionary those folks are. russiat imagine that sees that as positive either. we need to leverage that in the court of public opinion. hang

inall the unmanned aircraft the dod, hours make up 86%. produced somewhere ofween 25,000 and 30,000 these small unmanned airplanes. we are terribly excited about the future because as the faa looks to deregulate the airspace , we are looking at applications and precision agriculture, geographic information systems, public safety and border security, critical asset monitoring. the market could be worth as toh as $82 billion from 2015 2025. we are in a leading position to take advantage of that. >> you have something at the global observer that is a position to take pictures of the earth in a way that we have never really seen. observer is the latest version of what we have been working on going on 20 years. a stratospheric satellite system. developed a series of systems for nasa in the late 90's and early 2000's. because of the solar limits in the northern and southern hemispheres during the local winters, there isn't enough solar energy to power it all day long. it weighs about as much as an suv and it uses liquid hydrogen with an internal

the dod asset can do everything that the law enforcement heart of it.he shooter has got to be a coast guard or someone in law enforcement. it could be as long as they go through the training. it could be airborne use of force and authorities are very difficult and challenging. we have to take that through the department of justice because we have to get their support to defend our shooters of something happens or goes wrong. as long as we take the shooter through our courses and get them certified -- we have used other than coast guard, we have used navy marksmen off of navy helicopters and i'm sure we could train other people. it's a matter of taking them through the process. >> that's all i have. thank you. great to see you and i wish you well. >> thank you. pursue thinking out-of-the-box and how we might be able to pursue the discussion and quite possibly the utilization as we were just talking here. we will leave that for the i haveand carry that on been asked by one of our friends from the foreign affairs committee to raise the issue with general k

dod has done some marvelous things. military they have done tremendous initiatives to try to create more care for our act to duty guardsman out there. 20% get appropriate help. 20%. is not goods treatment. we want an assistant secretary and mental health specifically designed as a clinical psychologist. this person's job is to go through every neck and cranny of the federal government and find every dollar can say is it evidence-based care? if not, eliminate it. if it is duplicate it. if it is great, expanded. -- if it is duplicative, merge it. if it is great, expand it. this is what this bill does. it is very comprehensive. it is not something i can explain in a thumbnail sketch. there are three things i think have happened in the last 50 or 60 years in this nation to change mental health. our changes president kennedy made with regard to how we need to close and stop warehousing people. they made sure we have mental health parity. these other reform still need to happen. the federal government finally stood up and mad

is it the dod, do you have military contract? guest: i do not believe we have any military contracts at the moment. so, our research in the past has been funded by the national science foundation, the office of naval research -- outave had some contracts of naval air systems command. we do not have any right now. this is mostly grant research focused on fundamental patrol systems and services. host: you got into this were coming out of the navy. can you tell us how you got involved in this research? i did have a navy career. my last tour was a small research and development commu nity in virginia beach. i came here to virginia tech to help them develop their navy research program. this opportunity came up and i was a big supporter. i have been a big supporter of the virginia center for autonomous systems. as a result of my interest, this opportunity came up and i said i would be happy to leave the effort. that is how i got involved. host: we have 15 or 20 minutes left with jon greene. he helped put together the proposal that was

dod was thinking about and it our customer community has worked hard on diversity and inclusion. so we all have a long way to go here but we're making good progress and i'm proud. >> so you're in your early 50s. and you have a long way to go. do you have any plans to stay for a certain number of years in your current position or ten more years or have any plans? >> i'm having so much fun at what i'm doing, i haven't really thought about that from a long-term perspective. as long as the board will have me and i'm having a good time doing what i'm doing, i hope i can continue to help create value and help support our national security. >> if you do leave, have you considered the higher calling, such as private equity or something like that? [laughter] >> gosh, no. not right now. >> okay. >> not ruth now. >> thank you very much for your time. >> thank you, david. thank you very much. >> let me give you a gift.

i know you heard dod is looking at some of those requests. we have had the good fortune of relying on incredible restraint on the part of ukrainian military. i do not think we can count on that in the long term. we are not so sure how much longer. otherularly given some protests we have seen in ukraine. moving forward the united states will have to ramp up efforts to review those requests, nonlethal and lethal, and determine if we can provide additional intel sharing and look at things like ammunition. to close, i want to say i think europe and the united states deserve kudos for the work they have done together in multiple categories of addressing different aspects of this crisis. but what they have done to eight should be seen as the opening act. we have to sustain this momentum, make sure we have a long-term strategy some and make sure that that strategy is paired with real resources and real capabilities. we also have to think through the potential scenarios that we might be facing in the future. what happens if russia goes into eastern u

san francisco downtown dod at 84 degrees. even out of the coast ocean beach in daly city. sunday temperatures coming down isolate. >>j.r.: an accident on 880 southbound in hayward just out of what will roll the really kind of the right here because the tow trucks that were originally dispatched to the st. calls called after some time to say they cannot make of the eta that we've asked us to soak the chp had to find alternate alternate means to clear up the of roadway. that's backed up all the way to washington on 880 southbound. 24 minutes to drive time now from to 38 down to 237 which is about 8 minutes longer the what it should be for this time of the morning. stop a freeway still look pretty good. a little slow in starting to develop 4101. the no. they've tried basically problem free pretty well under 30 minutes from a bottle down to the golden gate bridge. a quick bridge check for you agree that looking at your favorite to ride her it a pretty easy trip here and the westbound direction. and you're ride for highway 580 westbound three still looks good. now back up at th

georgette dod prospective u.s.government as so-called georgia is a terrific partner they are with us in afghanistan without caveat for taking risks they have committed to remain with us post to training in afghanistan they are a strong partner. be are supportive of the bishops' action plan and three have expressed that. this is the alliance decision not that we make this alone so we work closely with our partners through this process and go be a subject as we feed to the wailes summit. >> he has articulated dutifully but to say the georgians are well aware they do not have consensus in the of finance. . . n supporting them as they make this case directly to individual allies. that happens very soon for georgia is it is on track to sign its association agreement with the european union, which will deepen its relationship with many of these same countries. a are hopeful that will have positive impact on how they assess its worthiness from that. >> i will stay outside ukraine and maybe use a quick second round to talk

streamline the identification process, a medical examiner working for the new agency will be the single dod identification authority. they will oversee the scientific operations of the central identification laboratory in hawaii and other laboratories. third, centralize budgetary resources for this mission. we will work with congress to realize its appropriations into a single budget. fourth, to improve the search, recovery, and identification process. we will have a system containing all missing service members' information. i have directed the department to develop proposals for extending public-private partnerships in identifying are missing. the goal is to leverage the capabilities and the efforts of organizations outside of government that responsibly work to account for missing. these steps will help improve the accounting mission, increase the number of identifications for our missing, and include case files to include all personnel. we will continue to do everything we can to account for and bring as many of our missing and fallen service personnel as possible home to the united sta

there are a lot of technologies we will see introduced in both dod and commercial that will allow peopleve an unmanned aircraft and evil can get them in the relatively near term. the question is what is the utilization of them and how do we make them safe and certified in a commercial air market? to talk a little bit about malaysia 370. i know you are involved in the investigation and can't give us specifics, but i want to talk about black box will it sounds like it is quite outdated. why do airlines still use this technology and why not upgrade to something better? sophisticated -- the sophistication is quite high when you think about the environmental conditions they have to go through. we have to certify them through long times under water and have them survive huge g forces. other conditions you would imagine going through an impact. when we find these lack boxes, they are flawless in terms of their performance and getting the data off of stop i call you back to air france 477. we found that rocks two years after being in the water and we pulled out of a dried off and it worked flawl

address that, and this is part of what i see our secretary working with all the grouping to ensure that dodes not reinvent the wheel as the va gets up to snuff where it needs to be and dhs does what they are to do dealing with care, and not everybody has to do it on their own, but say, just like everything else, i mean, every branch the service and hhs and every community does not treat diabetes differently or cancer differently or heart disease or deliver babies differently, why not do the same thing as mental health? that's what it is for me, thanks. >> i just want to make two follow-up comments, one to the gentleman's question and murphy's comments, a response, and then coming back to patrick and c.j.'s question on prevention. first thing is that, you know, the military has taken world war i, warld war ii korea, vietnam, iraq, afghanistan, taken a few wars to sort of realize, you know, there's psychological consequences to war, not just physical consequences, and everything said is true. we also need to be, i think, honest candidly. our understanding of ptsd and how stress affects the br

i want a joint select committee so we can look at the cia the state department and dod as one unit and i want a professional investigative team to get to the bottom of this. >> you hear the critics, not only democrats, there are some republicans who say, okay, enough is enough. it's time to move on. we've got -- they have been up there. they have answered all kinds of our questions and we didn't get what we wanted to get. how do you respond to that? what is the end game here on this particular effort? >> 18 months after the attack not one person has been kurptd responsible for killing the dead americans. 18 months after the attack we finally get an email that shows the white house created a narrative completely different than the intelligence. there was no intelligence about a video. there was no cia report blaming the video causing a protest. we now have the smoking gun. so i would tell the american people 18 months later we're finally getting to the truth and thank god for an independent judiciary because this is a damning email and it were not for a court you would never know about

i was disappointed when the only thing that the dod concluded was that it would have been prevented if they had done a better job of a security background check. they should have identified when he was in the navy that he needed treatment. don't give him an honorable discharge. some areas will have a mental health court. they will work with the system. the judge knows what to do. heard from a chief of police and we don't want the people to go to jail. -- he did not know where he was. he wandered into a home and thought it was his. he needs to be in treatment. he needs to be medicated. he needs to see a therapist. he'll be much better off than where he is going to be put into jail. jails, some of these victims are assaulted. they can be more aggressive. they are given more sedation and put in isolation. they have not committed a crime that is worthy of being in solitary confinement. it gets worse. onwant to ramp up awareness how to handle that. i want to say this for the audience. pitts has announced that they are going to have a hearing on this bill. that will be this thursday. it is v

identification process and armed forces medical examiner working for the new agency will be the single dod identification authority. they will oversee the scientific operations of the central identification laboratory in hawaii and other laboratories in omaha and dayton. third, the centralized budgetary resources for this important mission we will work with congress to realign its appropriations into a single budget. fourth, to improve the search, recovery and identification process the department will implement a centralized database and case management system containing all missing servicemembers information. fifth, i've directed the department to develop proposals for its standing public private partnerships and identifying our missing. the goal is to leverage the capabilities and the efforts of organizations outside of government to responsibly work to account for missing. these steps will help improve the accounting mission increase the number of identifications of our missing, provide greater transparency for their families and expand our case file system to include all missing perso

the dod was thinking about it. our customer community has worked hard on community -- has worked hard on diversity. we all have a long way to go here. we are making good progress and i am proud at how we're are doing. >> you're in your early 50's and you have a long way to go. you have any plans to stay for a certain number of years in your current position? do want to do it for 10 more years? do you have any plans? >> i'm having so much fun at what i'm doing, have not really thought about that from a long-term perspective. as long as a board will have me and i'm having a good time doing what i'm doing, i hope i can continue to help create value and help support our national security. >> if you do leave at some point, have you considered a higher calling such as private equity?

[applause] >> in the weekly addresses, president obama notes the observances of easter and passove

and the dod separate. what happens is the dod has taking care of me when i get into the military and when i leave. they are two separate entities. if they could combine the dod and the v.a., they could work on my housing six months before i get out of service so it is an easier transition. ed from florida, what was your transition like? yes, i was in afghanistan, iraq, and vietnam. will tell you this. than.a. cares a lot better during the vietnam era. first of all, i don't think the government owes me anything. i served my country, i did it honorably and i understood that. i appreciate everything the government has done for me, and the sense that they gave me a 40-year career, and i am now retired. i have a positive effect, my transition from the military. the: do you have to access veterans administration? caller: yes, ma'am, i do. host: what is your experience like? caller: how you see it from sitting in the foxhole from vietnam to today is a lot better. host: how so? caller: they definitely meet your ap

[inaudible question] >> at this time there's no change in the dod policy i'm aware of in terms of carrying weapons on a military installation. [inaudible question] >> we have very strong evidence that he had a medical history that indicates unstable psychiatric or psychological condition, gone through all the records to ensure that is in fact correct. we believe that to be a fundamental underlying causal fact. [inaudible question] >> no specific incidents, nat i'm aware of. [inaudible question] >> i'm sorry? [inaudible question] >> not that i'm aware of. [inaudible question] >> not that i'm aware of. [inaudible question] correct. [inaudible question] , i'm sorry? [inaudible question] >> we're looking into that. trying to figure out what the trigger event was. it was mentioned yesterday there may have been a verbal altercation with another soldier or soldiers and there's a strong possibility that in fact immediately preceded the shooting, but we do not have the that definitively at this point but we have strong indications of that. [inaudible question] >> i'm not sure i understood the quest

i think it is the second largest budget in the federal government after the dod. is money -- is money really the answer to these outrageous claims that we're hearing about that veterans are dying? >> that's a typical answer from the president. i've slapped more money on the problem. that's not the solution. they have over $160 billion budget and they have 300,000 employees. where is the president for the past year? we've had had five related deaths -- unrelated deaths to mismanagement down at dorn medical facility. legionnaires' disease making 700 veterans sick in ohio's medical facilities. los angeles they deleted records in their backlogs for appointments. this is a systemic problem for the va and for the president to come back and say i'm addressing this had by slapping more money on it and this is important, what about a criminal investigation by department of justice. >> especially when we are talking about as many as 40 veterans who have died just in phoenix. it makes you wonder how pervasive this problem is. let me ask you this. what about the fact that law

not charging the entire administration because when we use that term, it means that everybody from dod to the state to the white house understood these archives and we need to help them. i am making a statement that those who gave the actual advice went to ask mubarak to go down actually favored the idea that the brotherhood. it basically began 85,000 -- that's the beginning of the resolution. very saddlers. 30 or 40,000 members at the facebook came down. the original two rear squarer will use a postfix and others. everybody knows in the arab world that the brotherhood said it, we stayed behind. they were afraid of the regime. they didn't know how it's going to end up. they didn't know if the obama administration the west in general would allow them to question. it's only when the umbrella was provided to the demonstrators, second day, third day, for a day when was brought broadly by washington, do not go. this is the beginning of the collapse of the mubarak regime. then as if it was courtney did have the brotherhood coordinated themselves and our international media. it was in the bro

suicide, unfortunately, has become all too commonplace i think in the dod and that fort hood.,ron glantz, first of congratulations on winning a peabody for your critical work about what happens to soldiers when they come back. here on fort hood, we are talking about an active duty soldier and you work with veterans. but if you talk about this issue of suicide, of soldiers coming home. >> well, we have had over 10 years of war. in 2001.n 9/11 here we are in 2014. so many people have served so many deployments. 2.6 million people have gone to serve in these wars, many, multiple times over an extended period. we have hundreds of thousands of people coming home with poster manic stress disorder, major depression. we have hundreds of thousands of people going home with dramatic brain injury, physical brain damage. huge gaps in care both on the active duty side and the v.a. side. now we are just kind of beginning to piece together how picture might or might not fit into this tragedy that we have seen at fort hood. we know the shooter was in iraq were veteran who served at the very e

but the united states is engaged migratetive program, to it away from the cia into the hands of the dodthin those lion troops. it is, it is always been the air force that has flown those missions. the cia might be the customer, but the air force has always flown it. the 17 squadron that flies, they are the can play what i'm doing but i can tell you that it is supersecret. it is area 51 isolated on a single base and he gets pretty widely known that the ca controls their mission. under robbie for her left creech, there are putting privacy fences up so you cannot even see the front doors for the parking lot. at that point you don't even know who is in there anymore. people brag. people talk about how they were so secret and that they were kicking so much [bleep] and killing terrorists. the cia label is just an excuse to not have to give up any information. it's all it has ever been. nothing is going to change. at least, nothing that we can see. >> that is brandon bryant and michael haas, both drone operators, a clip from the new film, "drone." we turn to the film maker who made the film, t

. >> given the fact that the dod seemed -- or our reporting from jim miklaszewski and pete williams,g out radicalism or jihadism. it feels or sounds like that they have more of a clearer picture of what went down in that motor pool? >> right, and most likely, it is just a lone person with psychological problems. as the doctor said, sadly another day in south texas. it doesn't happen every day, but somewhere in the country this happens way too often for no good reason. it seems to be what it is. terrorism is very rare, it's unlikely, and you can very quickly rule it out if it's just someone who is doing something he shouldn't do. this is a horrible tragedy, but it doesn't need to be political. >> when we talk about preventing something like this, this is an army base, the largest active duty army base in the united states. 50,000 military personnel. it is a city, effectively, and securing a city is a very close to impossible task. >> you really can't. what they did there was the best they could, respond quickly and effectively and that's all you can hope for when it's a lone nut case,

of information acts constantly, and these envelopes are coming back from nsa, cia, d work d, dia -- dod, dia, and if you get a rejection, it's like this, and if you get a, be you get information -- if you get information it's like this. and they're like, mom, look what came. [laughter] thank you. >> is there a good set of guidelines for filing foia requests? >> i'll give you my card after. >> good idea. [laughter] >> could i just add one quick -- you know, as scott was saying, people will come to you on their own time. i mean, i find that doing my research and getting to know people is really just like life itself. you don't know when people will feel comfortable enough to open up and tell you their stories. most people feel that no one listens to them, and they're right. [laughter] and once they -- well, right? [laughter] see, people are leaving, they're not listening to us. [laughter] once they're ready to talk, there's really almost no stopping them. and i really, i mean, i'm honored when people do that. during desert reckoning, i waited years for some of the friends of the son of th

we have got our outstanding dod civilians. and we have our wonderful u.s.assy staff here as well. yes! good job! in the house! and i know, and i know, we have got some outstanding spouses. [ cheers and applause ] and, and, family members, kids, in the house. and i want to -- and i want to thank you as well because you bear the burdens of service as well. whether it is separation from a loved one or transitioning to a new country. i just want you to know that america is grateful for your sacrifice and your service. now president park and i attended a briefing, led by -- general scaparatti with combined forces command. and i signed the guest book that sits on top of a table where the korean war armistice was signed. and, and -- both of those moments drove home the truth that after more than 60 years, our alliance is as strong as it has ever been. and as effective as it has ever been. and nowhere is that more evident than in the professionalism and interoperability of our militaries. even when he had to travel to washington to testify before congress last mont
