>> sir, as i stated, dod will share the reprogramming with the congress. >> okay. all right. my time is up. madam chair, i yield back. >> can i ask staff to clarify mr. cartwright's question because i think there might be a difference of opinion on the answer. >> i think it's committee practice that -- you're talking about the counterdrug section, that is a defense bill reprogramming action that has to be approved by both the authorizers and appropriators. that has been the standard practice for a number of years. >> thank you. thank you, mr. cartwright, and mr. ryan. >> thank you, madam chair. mr. secretary, thank you. i see you have ohio roots coming from toledo. >> i do, sir. >> yes, sir. you're lucky because i'm not happy about this hearing, but i will show some buckeye love while we're in this process. i'm just -- i'm flabbergasted with this whole enterprise, not only the constitutional issues that have been raised here today and since the national emergency declaration was made. when we got on the appropriations committee the chairwoman and i, the first thing they said

dod is awaiting dhs response to that request. in support of the acting secretary's consideration of 2808, the dod is conducting a deliberate process to identify military construction projects that could be used as funding sources if the acting secretary determines that use of section 2808 authorities is necessary. we will provide you the information on affected projects as soon as it is available. in order to protect military readiness, the projects most likely to be temporary delayed -- temporarily delayed include those that pose no readiness risks if deferred. secondly, projects that were already scheduled to be awarded in the last six months of the fiscal year, and third, recapitalization projects of the existing facilities that can be temporarily deferred for months. no currently authorized military construction projects will be canceled to fund projects under section 2808, nor is the department considering any family housing projects as funding sources for section 2808. further, the fiscal year 2020 budget will include a req

does that federal land have to be deeded or transferred to dod in order for dod money to be spent on that or is it just that it has to be on federal land? >> for 2808 authorities, four milcon under those authorities there are two qualifiers. it has to be federal land and under the jurisdiction of a military department . >> so you would have to be responsible? >> to be able to do military construction, the answer is yes, judge . >> this has been part of the conversation . >> then i got the right information, thank you . >> the department of justice will start the process of taking land to turn it over to dod . >> that would be in texas. >> it's my understanding that the land to be taken will be federal land in this could last several months with significant litigation. >> this is ben illuminating gentlemen, we appreciate you very much and appreciate your service to our nation and will make sure to hold you to the transparency to which you have committed. we suggest that you take back the admonitions that you heard from the coequal branch of government for which you've appeared today.

does that federal land have to be deeded or transferred to dod in order for dod money to be spent on that? or is it just it has to be on federal land? authorities under those there are two qualifiers. it has to be federal land and it has to be under the jurisdiction of the military department. to do military construction on that the answer is yes. >> has anybody thought about this? >> that has been part of the conversation and we understand that. >> i have the right information, thank you. >> in our materials in the briefings, it says it is also during the phase that they will start the process of taking land to turn it over to dod. becausewill be in texas it is private land. >> my understanding is the land will be federal, state, and private land. there will be significant litigation, et cetera. has been illuminating gentlemen, thank you very much. we appreciate your service to the nation. towill make sure to hold you the transparency to which you committed. and suggest that you take back admissions before which you have appeared today. thank you very much. we will transition to the

it is important for the dod and very working for us. we have done a series of audits and evaluations, some classified, talking about challenges. it is not going away. we are involved with it and we will continue to be. sarah: i will open it in for -- open it up for questions. don't ask about an ongoing investigation. don't ask about the carter page investigation. as much as we all want to know what the finding will be. let's start with you. we have a microphone. if you can introduce yourself, that would be great. >> jean smith. the germans require every website that is a commercial site have a page called -- which gives contact information for the website master. my question, peggy, i think is for you. thato we get a law drafted would thereby eliminate, you know, don't contact me. let me contact you. all of those commercial website pages out there, the contact page is really me putting my name in and letting you abuse it anyway you want to. how -- who did we get support from to have real valid street address contact information on a com

before that, he was principal inspector general at dod since 2015. he previously worked at the deckard law firm and served as inspector general at justice from 2000 to 2011. last year, his office oversaw conducted and oversaw the first financial statement audit for the entire department of defense. that is a massive task. there were 21 separate audit statement that i think over 1000 auditors that were contracted for that. his office has been ongoing in its investigation of the well-known leonard corruption scandal, which has resulted in multiple indictments. you may come up now. thank you. and last but not least, if i could turn this page here, we have peggy gustafson. she has serve as inspector general at the department of commerce since 2017. she also served as inspector general at the small business administration since october 2009. prior to becoming an inspector general, she worked as general counsel for senator claire mccaskill. in that capacity, she worked on important pieces of legislation, including the inspector general reformat of 2008. wh

obviously they would in the same arena as dod and state. they did tremendous work but injury in general if there is somebody covering it personally i think resources should be devoted to them. it's difficult to set up another bureaucracy. i think your word was perfect for it because that's a lot of work and expense. you know if i were running the world i'd gief gao and the inspector general a lot more money. i know there is not a lot of to be had. i think that's a better use of money than creating somebody else if there is somebody in the space. the one thing i would note -- this is slightly anecdotal. but numbers hold it up as well. congress itself i think has less of a capacity to do the oversight. they have a crucial oversight role as well not just ungao but their committees. and my understanding -- and my experiencing has been has been there has been a lot of reduction in money going to that as well process. that's a about big loss because they have a crucial role. and there is plenty to be done. and again i'd rather the money go to the

some of the high-tech companies have shown a reluctance to work with the dod and military. do you see that as a lingering problem as something that the department needs to address? >> i do and we are really hard to work with. [ indiscernible - low volume ] it's not just heart it is expensive. for a lot of good reasons we ask people to produce their information or use certain processes but all of those things add costs and if you are someone using their own money or investors money or the opportunity port to pursue something with the government it causes people pause. i would say the secretary understands this is one of the pieces she is working on which is how do we make it easier to do business with the government? i have heard this from investors, entrepreneurs, small business owners, they are very clear we have great stuff for you to use but it is just really hard to work with you and it takes too long. >> so last question for you how are you adjusting to the new job as acting secretary and what kind of surprises have you seen so far in this new position? >> i have seen

cut red tape of the dod 5000. we are not going to do the whole space mission, but there are segments now if we leverage less red tape and the huge investment that's been made in commercial space, we can go a lot further for less, more quickly. todd: another question here. i'm getting several from the audience basically relating to the interaction between the space force proposal and nas and -- nasa and human spaceflight. and so i know from reading the proposal nasa is not part of it, may not be part of the space force. there would be no human spaceflight in it but can you elaborate on that, that there is this distinction and with this -- and would this change it in anyway? sec. shanahan: it's part of the change calculus. so if you said let's pick up nasa, let's do all the intel organizations. let's see legacy we would be , dead on arrival. this is later on as we are successful, people are going to want to hitch a ride. if we are not -- i prefer to stand on our success. we've had wonderful conversations with intell

in spite of lots of hard work done by the state department team, dod team, all the folks of energy, working with the north koreans to try and outline what a real big deal would look like, we didn't get there. a big component of what we have presented is the president refers to as a brighter future for the people of north korea. it's a pretty fertile place. it's a place with 25 million people. an economy that has enormous potential for growth and there would almost certainly be an enormous opportunity for american business to serve that

i think they have been covered by the secretary and previously by dod. the real point i would like to make on this chart is a million man army at any given day, we have 180,000 soldiers across from hundred 40 countries. that is a sizable footprint, a lot of activity. activities only increasing as time goes on. you are familiar with the strategic environment and the nds and the threats that are out there. i don't need to cover that in any great detail. the strategic approach that the secretary already covered, pretty much speaks for itself. you guys know the army budget is broken up into three components. and strength readiness -- in strength, readiness and modernization. we are on a trajectory to build readiness to two thirds, the highest state by 2022. and a modernization strategy that supports the nds. in addition, there are efforts to strengthen partnerships with allies and there has been effort in the business reforms across the department of the army. to go in detail on this but if you look at this chart, this is a simple way to look at what we have

it has to start with dod. this is not limited to people who work in the dod who happen to have uniforms. i really think we need to think long and hard. the way i tell a commander in the marines to deal with a sexual assault is different than how i would tell someone in the army, i do not see a basis for it. we want to make pervasive a culture. we need to think about comparing those. final comments for any of you on that? >> the linchpin in this decision if you break down the process is in the referral process. the standardization is there. do you have probable cause to determine whether an offense has been committed? we are more comfortable with that process because it is judge driven and all the rules that you see at a trial come out. that is where i think it is the primary, fundamental point. >> i do not mind somebody taking the lead, but you build on a best practice versus going four different ways and creating four different cultures. lieutenant commander brought up in a prior panel, whatever person in the

should this data be kept on dod networks? how do you interface with the fbi when we get into the commercial entities out there that seem to be less protected than the military networks? >> senator, the example that you cited there is one that drives the department and we are working with the department as a lead agent to ensure that contracts are written right. that ensure that our clear defense contractors understand the standards that have to be met, that we test the standards, working with the services, ensuring that there are proper safeguards in place that will guarantee that the information that they have that's critical for our nation is safe guarded better. >> are you optimistic you have everything you need from an organizational standpoint of funding and so forth to help accomplish that in. >> senator i'm optimistic if i don't have what i need i'm coming back rapidly to ask for it. >> yes, sir, you have done a good job of that. let me move to the organization. right now, in august of 2017 it was announced that the cy

i do believe that the vulnerabilities are acute. >> and what steps has the dod -- has dod undertaken already or could you possibly undertake to mitigate these threats? >> well, maybe i'll pick up on this. maybe if i could just add to the chairman's comments. so, if we look at 5g and then the environment that those systems are developed and where they come from, you're talking about a country has a clear history of cyber espionage. we're talking about country with predatory economics, talking about looking at people having to have a social credit that part of doing business over there is you have to share data. with that as the backdrop and then not having the understanding of how you can trust the network, that's our concern with 5g from a department of defense standpoint. so, in the absence of being able to verify that hardware or provider is trustworthy, the things we're going to have to do is have secure networks that keep that equipment off of that. but the real risk is we have to operate in environments where we don't know how secure that network is. and this is where we get int

march 2019 the gao reported many dod programs continue to fall short of performance goals and to be more than anticipated and with fewer capabilities. that this cause under the defense department. . >> any wine in opposition? all those in favor? all those opposed? . >> the committee did not ask for this instruction in fact, senator alexander and i are negotiating with the higher education act with the affordability and accountability and safety and to target the savings does not help us with those negotiations. to go through that resentment and partisanship reconciliation is not the approach to take to get this done required to colleagues to support my amendment for what this instruction. it is a target for the committees a lot of money is involved it isn't prescriptive so it's up to the committee how to hit the target. there is no provision against revenue. it doesn't mandate how the committee will find the savings so i ask they oppose this to see if it can be through the whole process which probably will not happen anyway. >> i ask for a recorded vote. [roll call] . >> the amendment is

i would say that the best way to answer your question is that it is a broad dod-wide effort. it's a complex threat and it requires, you know, full up all hands on deck response to it. >> for the space discrimination -- space-based discrimination for hypersonic defense, are there investments being made now outside of mda? >> absolutely. so what i mentioned earlier is that it will be a multi-mission department-wide effort to deployed the system that has more than just the missile defense mission. so we are tucked into that overall architecture and fully supportive of the department's efforts to get a multi-mission capability deployed. >> and why defeat -- why do they have a new name now, defeat and defense? >> so that's been around for a bit, but i would say it is the integration, which is important, between the left of launch operations and the actual passive and active defense measures. >> thank you. >> hi. jen judson with defense news. m test for fy 20. and you said that you are using a gbi launch from vandenberg. i seem to recall back when the big gm the d test in may 2017.

view it but more dangers for you dods because it gives me. the oddest to be able to board. up. the same burst quite an intense month for all performing artists shows are always back to back this is my new album being released. british. hit. us the battle of. the. river even if. there's an old russian saying from the boats to the ball and that's exactly what i just did but in my case it was the other way around i want a refrigerated fish transport vessel bound for the black sea some first time aboard the big fridge so that arch is now our gateway to the black sea. the channel between the pillars had to close when the arches went up but only for seventy two hours. we're fishing for ham some locals it's a sort of toad some fish residents of courage and some on will know what i mean when life was tough i'm signed potatoes were the staple foods as a crutch native i believe is the only place where you can enjoy properly salted ham some though if anything. at all. lined up by. getting a job and being good at what they set up a bit that i thought it was a man with didn't even have time

it is worth noting that the nro is one of the few of the dod that has passed the audit. that has been a 20 to 30 year process. in their sing that your own gao points out every year that the pentagon is one of the most risk prone areas of the federal government. if the marines can't do it -- it is amazing that our systems are so degraded. part of it is the latest software systems and part of it is the stubbornness that if you cannot measure it you cannot manage it. if you won't measure it, maybe you do not deserve to manage it. i counting standards are not the only thing, but they are a way of making sure that things are coherent and strong. green eyes like a shape, but the pentagon has been a standout problem. when they failed, they said that was a plus and not a minus. tell a fortune 500 company that. it shows how different the standards are between a government and business. it is taken for granted in business you keep your books. we have to do a better job of keeping the government's books. outstanding example. it is a shameful thing on our budget. with the president'

i think they've been covered by the second and previously by dod, but you can see the real point i'd like to make on this first chart is, of a million man army at any given day we have 180,000 soldiers still across 140 countries, okay? that's a sizeable footprint. there's a lot of activity and i will tell you the activity is only increasing as time goes on. you're familiar with the strategic environment. you're familiar with the nds, the threats that are out there. i don't need to cover that in any great detail and i will tell you so that the strategic approach that the secretary already covered pretty much speaks for itself. you guys know the army budget is really broken up into three components. we're on a trajectory to have modest growth in our end strength. we're on a trajectory as you heard the secretary say to build readiness to two-thirds of our bct by 2022 and we have a modernization strategy that fully -- that supports the nds to get us at an end state of 2028. in addition to that, there are a lot of efforts to strengthen the partnerships with our allies and also there has b

at 1,718 billion for dod it shows broegt of the of just over 5%. the fy '20 budget requests caps with a $545 billion base budget request. it includes 165 billion for overseas contingencies operations and 9 billion for emergency funding. the oko and emergency funding will be broken out and we'll discuss that later. prioritizes resources and shifting investments prepare for a future high end fight. we are requesting resources in the four focus areas that were highlighted by mr. norquist. i will turn it over to general e ierardi. >> i'm going to walk through the next few charts to amplify the comments that mr. norquist made with respect to emerging domains. in the space domain, the focus was on enhancing our organizational structure and improving our capabilities including satellite communications capabilities, space-base warning, and space launch capacity. we come in at about $14.1 billion of investment. and that's approximately a 15% increase over last year. in the cyber domain, we see about a $9.6 billion investment, a 10% increase over last year f

at $718 billion for dod it shows growth over the fy '19 enacted amount of just over 5%. the fy '20 budget request conforms to the budget control acts caps with a $545 billion base budget request. it includes $165 billion for overseas contingency operations and $9 billion for emergency funding. the oco and emergency will be broken out and we will discuss that a little bit later. the fy '20 budget request carries out the nds by prioritizing resources and shifting investments to prepare for a potential future high end fight. we are requesting resources in the four focus areas and the gray areas on this slide that were highlighted by mr. norquist in his opening statement. i will turn it over to general ierardi to talk about war fighting domains, innovative technologies and readiness. >> good morning, i'm just going to briefly walk through the next few charts to amplify the comments that mr. norquist and ms. mccusker made with respect to enhancing competitiveness through emerging war fighting domains, indeed contested domains. in the space domain the focus was on enhancing ou

did you or the dod do any analysis or verification of this information? >> chairman? >> congressman, we went physically to make sure there -- make sure we are not talking past each other, we went physically to the areas where the infrastructure is proposed. >> i'm glad you physically saw it, but there also needs to be other conclusive studies to do behind physically seeing it. i go to the border all the time. but there should be other information. >> there is. >> you have used that to make this determination. we have the information from department of homeland security on the challenges they faced in the race -- and the specific areas where those challenges occur. the infrastructure is tailored to the specific geographic area and the threat that exists within that area. we had that information before we went down to physically see what we had read about before we went down to the border. >> i appreciate that we have that information. i would like for you to share that information and all of the analysis and detail with this committee so we can see where the basis of t

and three has dod been given any requirements for assistance to fulfill from other agencies? >> so the use of the military for humanitarian assistance voice tall. and us think one of the reasons that we were drawn in by the state department was because we could do this so quickly. so your question regarding other plans and activities as they relate to supporting venezuela, the chairman and i have been in discussion for the last several weeks. how do we put a more regional face on our humanitarian efforts. i will be going down to southern command to meet with the admiral to have further discussions around what are the things we can do to provide support to the people of venezuela. >> your first question about was it designed to signal, we fwot the request. it went to the state department and they asked us to capacity shortfall. it was our ability to deliver a large volume over a short period of time, which troef that initial humanitarian assist request. >> let me had finish with the time i have left. is it this administration's intent to use the resolution on this issue to ach

us yes even more figures for you dod because it gives three bags and solders to be even aboard. i'd quite like a swimsuit but there's no time. to. kill people and. this is a special temp. it chills the freshly poured concrete from direct sunlight and rain . this section when be opened until the concrete has hardened enough. love on up all those little both of you look at the following you will love love love love love love really just what. the concrete mix is prepared according to a special recipe that has to be high performance concrete that's extremely stable in water. shelter is a good. partnership with. the i used to. play it. for you it will. work but i think. anyone who's ever built their own data isn't afraid of concrete. was what it was or to do or did you know what will the show for you when the book was both shirt is still. ok i know you're sitting there having a loft and thinking there was scuba divers down there waiting for my signal to release a couple of dolphins but honestly the truth is much more straightforward lots of plankton builds up around the pillows and

former boeing employee and acting defense secretary patrick shanahan now under investigation by the dodt. the dod's inspector general looking into whether acting defense secretary patrick shanahan violated ethics rules. by doing that, promoting boeing over other contractors. he worked with boeing for over 30 years. so with vadvocacy to use boeing it's being investigated by the dod's inspector general. >> keep us posted. thank you for the reporting. six days after 50 worshippers were murdered in two christchurch mosques, new zealand's prime minister announced a sweeping change proposal to the country's gun laws. >> every semi-automatic weapon used in the terrorist attack on friday will be banned in this country. >> that's prime minister jacinda arden, first proposing the tightening gun laws on saturday, just a day after the attacks by a white supremacist. now this. martin savidge is with us from christchurch. do you get the sense that this has overwhelming support? >> reporter: there is no question, poppy. this has the public support. they are still very much in shock here. of course the

drug money committed at dod can go here. after he taps into that roughly 4.45 billion, you look at some, what we call the 2808, the military construction projects, another 3 billion plus and change there. that 8 billion plus for the steel slat barrier, the border wall, the physical bearer we need so you can't go under it, around it or threw it, that is a piece, that is piece, 25% as i read it of the over all security package. also in the president's budget are the immigration judges, more border patrol agents, more enhanced technology. brian: they're doing it right now. they're not waiting to go you there the courts. real quick, david axelrod said this, the president drew inside straight in 2016 with narrow wins in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania he is vulnerable in those states and no prospect of adding any state in the 2020 column. what is your thought. >> david axelrod is very smart man who helped president obama win two terms but i disagree. first it wasn't inside straight when president got 306 electoral votes nobody

so i would say that the best way to answer your question, it is a broad dod wide effort. it's a complex threat and it requires full full up all hands on deck response to it. >> for the faith based discrimination, is there investments being made now outside of the mda? >> absolutely. it will be a multimission department wide. so we are tucked into a mission. >> and why do they have a new name? defeat and defense? >> that has been around for a bit. i would say it is the integration which is important between the left of launch operations and the actual passive and active defense measures. >> thank you. >> hi. jenn with defense news. youd a mentioned a flight test for fy20. and you said that you're using a gby. i seem to recall back when the big gmd test admiral said at the time there would be a plan to have a test of the gmb system in 2018, fall, early winter. that involved two -l interceptors. are you walking back from testing with two interceptors? can you detail that gbi test that is scheduled? >> so i will tell you i believe what you are tucking about is the ftg11. whic

he did the first procedure of that kind in the dod. i went to my unit and said, when is the right time to do this? we determined that this procedure that was going to have me unable to speak for about four weeks, the best time that i could do it that made sense was right before christmas time. know, we have christmas exodus. by doing this, i shortened the time i was going to be down because i couldn't speak over christmas leave. i just used a whiteboard to talk to my kids. in the end of january, i was ready to go to the field. i have just one more example. in the summertime, i had a facial feminization surgery, again, the first one done in the dod. the doctor afterward said that this procedure enabled him to do other procedures after the fact because of the technique he learned. i did it in the summertime. i took two weeks of summer vacation and came back and the week afterwards i deployed to the field. rep. kelly: i apologize for interrupting you. you can't cause too quick around me. hm three wyatt. hm3. wyatt: basically i was on , to

the $750 billion top line for the national defense enables dod to maintain irregular warfare as a core competency. you have prioritized modernization and readiness to compete, deter and win in any possible in fight of the future. the budget is critical for continued execution of our strategy and reflects difficult but necessary choices that align finite resources with our strategic priorities. to highlight some of those choices, this is the largest research development training and evaluation budget in 70 years. the budget includes double-digit increases to investments in space and cyber. modernization of the nuclear triad and defense abilities and our largest shipbuilding request in 20 years, when adjusted for inflation. it also increases our total and strength -- end strength by roughly 7700 for service members and provides a 3.1% pay increase to our military, the largest in a decade. now, to the specifics. the top line slates seminary $18 billion $718 billion for the department of defense which includes $545 billion for base funding and $164 billion for the overseas contingency oper

companies have voiced ethical qualms about working with dod to advanced technology.hileating relationships continuing to work with china. what are we talking about here? we are talking about google and their support to china and their lack of support to the department of defense. >> google has refused to work with the department of defense. they were under contract with a not? >> they said they are not going to continue to work with the department of defense on certain contracts. >> they are doing business in china in a way that benefits our chinese competitors. >> correct. the interesting thing and this is what china is such an important issue for our country. the fusion of commercial business with military is significant. trillion is- $5 state-owned enterprises. the technology that is developed in the civil world transfers to the military world. it is a direct pipeline. not only is there a transfer there is also systemic theft of u.s. technology that also facilitates even faster development of emerging technology. government, is that correct? i haven't heard the wo

the focus of our event this morning is iran and north korea's missile threats, and how the dod shouldespond. to explore this important and timely topic, we have an impressive panel that i'd like to introduce now, beginning with rebecca heinrich in the middle, a senior fellow at the hundred -- hudson institut, where she specializes in nuclear deterrence and missile defense and proliferation. she previously served as adviser on military matters to representative trent fraengts. david maxwell, closest to me, senior fellow at fdd a 30-year veteran of the united states army retiring in sow as a special forces colonel with his final assignment on the military fact ultimate teaching strategy at the national war college focusing on security developments on the korean peninsula. on the far end is benham ben taleblu. he has closely tracked a wide range of particularly on iran as nuclear program and i'm eager to get the conversation started. quickly, let me set the scene in hopes of providing useful context and catalyzing our discussion. as many of you may know earlier this year, the trump admin

generals and a visiting leaders from within congress and the dod can be safe. it was one of the biggest responsibilities i found myself in. every one of those missions was to make sure people like yourself home safe and that my soldiers were, at the end of 400 missions, i have to attribute every bit of success to the vigilance of the soldiers i had and the team rebuilt to come home -- we built to come home after having dealt with the trauma we had an operation anaconda, and prepared in 2014 to have so much success. it feels good to leave -- to lead the soldiers and be successful. >> thank you. chairman, the opportunity for me to serve with the first marine division, specifically to 135, those are the best highlights in my career. to be able to be a line corpsman withy marines and to work naval special warfare reconnaissance. >> thank you. ehrenfeld. can you explain how an individual's transgender status impacts medical readiness and ability to meet standards? >> certainly. scholars, medical experts agree transition related care is reliable, safe, and effective.

like, but we already how bad it will be to undermine the voting rights of so many millions of would dod what it to funnel billions of dollars into political campaign accounts. this is bad legislation for abilityho want the to speak freely and vote fairly in elections, and now, i would like to bring up the majority leader of senate, leader income college. >> for quite a while i've involved in the debates campaign over .inance reform issue that i've decades.h for obviously, blowing in politics for some time. this bill is a target rich environment, but i would give you some of the highlights that i think are particularly offensive to average voters. number one, using government to subsidize campaigns. collected money from all of us either in ands or fees or fines giving it to candidates that with. not agree they're taking government money and underwriting candidates that we disagree with. you've heard for quite a while now, democrats always claim there's no election in america. i would refer you to the carolina house election. just set aside in north of electionause fraud. the reason it wa

that's one idea that we have recommended to dod. i understand this summer they may be fielding something similar for the first time. it's a way for victims to tell their story, to unburden themselves in a certain way and potentially be connected to somebody else who was similarly assaulted by the same person. >> senator, i think there's a couple ways to go about it. first of all, commanders need to be trained better to understand that every victim is different. >> that's not you. >> i throughout it was me. every victim is different. i wanted to go to work. i focused on work. i know a victim on our ship needed a lot of time to process. the other thing is discussing our training, i don't did think when i was going through this, i'm an officer. i'm the third highest ranking person on the ship. this doesn't happen to me. the women are raped in training. the men are grabbed. they're not raped. why don't we address the problems? we're still not doing effective training. >> i believe just more of a preventative before you get to be a victi

this is about doing it at a dod level and these are once in a generation opportunities.since we must address a contested environment we are going to make significant changes, why not do it at an integrated level for the department instead of each service? >> your answers were as offensive -- efficient as i expect the space force to be. thank you very much. >> thank you. the minority leader had a question and has a scheduling problem so let's go ahead and recognize him and we will get the rest of that is acceptable. >> thank you, you are very gracious. i'm trying to clarify the debate that senator king initiated about projects at risk and i am going to take the really dangerous path for social scientist to try to break it down into simple numbers. bear with me. let's say x equals the authorized for the last five years, that is the universe. i equals the on obligated after september 30 of this year. x minus y or z equals those projects at risk of being captured for the wall. with some limited exceptions. no public housing, etc. you know what that z is right now, you have t

>> that's not my role, senator, to interpret dod's governing statutes and requirements. but my role is to provide the secretary nielsen and the white house those border security requirements that we have and the gaps that we see. >> have you ever recommended that your superiors ask for an emergency declaration? >> i've recommended that we ask for more agents, more border security barrier and more technology. >> but that's been a continuing ask. >> correct. >> nothing about that ask constitutes saying we have a national emergency. >> well, i would offer that i believe it's becoming more urgent as i offered in my opening statement in terms of the numbers of crossings, the illicit narcotics coming between ports of entry. >> but the illicit narcotics are coming primarily still through the ports of entry. >> that's where our seizures -- >> the numbers of border crossings are still at a historic low, compared to other times in our nation's history. >> no, senator. they're not. we're on pace for over 700,000 crossings this year. that's closer to historic highs than historic low

ability to move money around, to give them additional flexibility to manage day-to-day operations, dodent notification of it intends to use that process to reprogram $1 billion without congressional approval is a violation of that trust. acting defense secretary saying it is worth it. >> we understand significant downsize of losing what amounts to a privilege. i have been working to be transparent in this process fully knowing there are downsides which will have her us. >> reporter: the decision comes after the final house vote over veto override of the president, the bill against the emergency declaration to build the wall. final vote, 248-181 in favor of the override, 38 votes short of the two thirds majority. those on the border continue to ring the alarm. customs and border patrol tweeted a picture saying border patrol reported 47 applications on the southwest border yesterday, the largest single day total in a decade. on a broader scale, this from dhs secretary's march report, 76,000 illegal immigrants apprehended being inadmissible in february, 12 year high, 2000 aliens apprehend

we are my understanding held to a government standard, dod oriented government standard. my facilities organization overseas enforce those on original construction. the air force civil engineering center does oversee uniform dod standards for construction. what we have had problems is the quality assurance of repairs. that is often a manning issue and we need to address that issue base by base. who would be responsible in your service branch for performing basic inspections to make sure either new or extensive construction meets code. and the standard for repairs? if it is new construction is likely our corps of engineers that would be responsible. i think in all cases whether it is that and repairs, would be to garrison chain of command. i would be remiss if i didn't say at the end of the day, the chain the command has that -- 263 wilson's point, we are looking at the same thing as we staff up at all of our installations making sure we have sufficient quality assurance. at every step of the process are onolved either doing 100% the life health and safety work order were

the dod is looking at that for next steps. r&d, what does it mean. we've just now commenced that. >> okay. thanks very much. you are very game to let me jump around issues here. compliance is so important in all aspects of arms-control and nonproliferation. one of the issues involved, iran's compliance with the gcp way and its overall commitment under the mpp. a lot of questions have been raised with the document that is real revealed to the world and provided to the ia ea about iran's previous and possible ongoing development of nuclear weapon technology. russians have been raised have been whether these documents are being utilized with the speed and devotion that they should be, particularly by the iaea. given the family's role in clients and cooperating with the iaea can you say anything about how you see the iaea moving forward. are they moving fast enough to assess and utilize these documents in holding iran to its commitments? >> i mean, iaea, no surprise to the folks in this room, and incredible and partner to this united states. upholding st

the border patrol has some reinforcement help from dod, the personnel down there.y would like for dod to allow them to help them with the processing of some of these asylum seekers. is that something that you would support? >> that is a noncombative use for that. we need more ice, we need more immigration judges to process these asylum claims. so additional people in the entire process would be valuable. and if we have folks, let's put them in that place where they can be used the most. >> dana: let me ask you about the other news. you're one of nine republicans on the house intelligence committee to demand that adam schiff, democrat from california, resign. tell me more about that. >> 22 months, $25 million, 14 u.s. attorneys, 40 fbi officers, 500 subpoenas, 50 phone taps and bob mueller, who is probably one of the most aggressive prosecutors ever said there was no evidence of collusion. my colleagues especially the gentle man from california, mr. schiff, claiming that this access to information, he had 22 months in order to show it. this is continuing to erode ou
