dod's budget interest. and remember, they have an appropriation act was finalized in september of 2018, several months before. i think about five months before the dhd was -- it has to be measured with respect to the dod process concluded in 2018. >> can you clarify one factual issue for me? the notions panel said multiple sometimes in its opinion that dod was going to transfer the fund after they had been put into the counter drug dod account, was going to transfer the funds to dhs. is that correct or is that wrong? >> no, judge collins, that's wrong. ... it's a bit tedious, uses a lot of jargon , that's the nature of these budgeting and appropriations documents, but it makes clear that the transfer is within the dod accounts. >> the dod is going to be the one to spend the funds? >> >> let me go back to question because you were asking also if i'm understanding correctly about whether the approval of a low amount for dhs constituted some kind of -- >> the word on what it would spend for fencing along the s

accounts. >> the dod is going, to be the one to spend the funds? >> so let me just go back judge word want to your question because you are asking also if i'm understanding correctly about whether this approval of a lower amount for dhs constituted some kind of. >> congresses word on what it would spend for fencing along the southwest border. >> and i think the answer to that is twofold. one point i just made is that wholly apart from that. >> it's not the government. it's still the executive branch. >> if the question is whether congress in the consolidated appropriations act by approving a smaller amount, a lower amount of appropriations and was requested, the gao, government accountability office which is the legislative branch and independent watchdog agency expressly concluded and pointed out that it has reached similar conclusions. >> your referring to your 20 8j letter. how much deference to we both the gao. >> judge cavanaugh in the department of the navy opinion refer to that as an expert view and the court should give it appropriate consi

that is the kind of think that could be included in dod budget report requested member dod appreciate appropriation act was finalized in september of 2019. it was several month before. about five must be the dhs appropriation. and so, the question about whether them pursing what kind of that we are talking about l has to be measured with a dod appropriations process which was concluded in september of 2018. >> can you clarify one factual issue for me. the motions panel, said multiple times in his opinion the deity was going to transfer the funds after they have been put into the account or drug dod account. and is going to transfer the funds to dhs. is that correct. >> no. that's wrong. so the record explains and i'll acknowledge it a little bit. these a lot of jargon. thus the nature of these budgeting appropriation documents. but it makes it clear that the transfer is in the dod accounts. >> the dod is going to be the one actually spending on this bill. >> yes judge that's right. and so let me just go back to the fourth part of your question. think you are asking also if i'm underst

military families are affected and for the first time the department of defense i hope to hear how the dod support spouses and dependents affected by suicide in the future. while a growing challenge unique composition and ensuring adequate care and those of financial difficulties and access to healthcare it must be a top priority program look forward to hearing from the dod and how they are developing evidence-based suicide prevention methods to combat the rise among servicemembers and veterans and their families and also from research and methods and strategies to help combat suicide in the military. thinking to the witnesses for being here today look forward to your testimony. >> thank you for holding this hearing this is a serious and growing problem and to address the factors to all witnesses thank you for sharing your expertise your insight of contributing factors are crucial to support our service members and i appreciate as it is critical to understand the military to address those. according to the annual suicide report it has steadily increased over the last six years spiking in 2

fear the repercussions to their career if they come forward with mental health challenges of course dod must have policy that the standards are vague and go much further for civilian mental health professional or military chaplains. and for those to suffer in silence to maintain order and discipline i urge the department to review the reporting rules for mental health professionals to ensure while protecting those to be around them ever access to mental health care and then to make progress at the suicide rate mister chairman we look forward to working with you on this committee and the military and the dod to further support our service members. >> chairman to listen ranking member thank you for the opportunity to appear before you with our colleagues from veterans in menstruation and harvard university i am with my colleague director of the mental program and we are very concerned we look forward to discuss the suicide prevention efforts we are worried they are not going in the desired direction each one has a deeply personal story with each death there are families and children and t

this is not something that dod can do alone or the white house can do alone or congress. it's something we need to do together and i'm extraordinarily excited, we have such brilliant minds to bring these pieces together and bring together congress that can do incredible work on the legislative front with us at the administrative level to bring it together. >> for the last three years i've admired your clarity of expression and also your con signatures. i don't think there are any wasted words in the exec tv order. so in one word , what a.i. enabled invention are you most enthusiastic about? >> well, sounds borderline -- well issue think health care, and i think i will give a small special alaska anecdote. my father has parkinsons and i think boat the ways to use incredible technology to help americans and people all ron the world who are suffering from these debuilt tating diseases we can make an incredible and huge impact and inspiring to see our national labs working with amazing researchers and doctors and scientist across the country to use a.i. to drive the next gene

, dod, how do you plan to manage space for the future.uty secretary shanahan and many others in the air force and across the dod. we collaborate together to advance a plan, the 1601 report by which the department would seek to manage space in the future particularly with regard to the kind of development timelines we used to enjoy when we were serious about great power competition. i will stand an ancillary remark in that domain. are here now that are acquisition timelines tend toward the 15 year mark on average for statement of need to operational capability. our adversaries are using three and four your timelines consistent with what we used to do. i often quoted this example only because it is so from a certain perspective heartbreaking. when the f117 a stealth fighter was developed, 32 months after the contract was signed there was an airplane on the ramp, 32 months for something that had never in human history been designed and built. we would be arguing about the requirements for 32 months. if we can't relearn how to do what we once

we need to integrate the many systems that dod has.'m running out of time so i'll top they're very concrete, very doable. sfraflt sfln they can do this in way that other places in the country can't and i would urge you to help them do that. mr. chairman, thank you again for the opportunity to share these those for you and your subkm and i think my faf have ib instructed in but he's very much concerned with a trend up in alaska. so i've offered to have senator sullivan speak in my turn. i'll speck at the end after are in it. >> let me ask a couple of basic questions and then i'll get to what going on in my state. dr. kessler, what do you think driving the increased rate? it's very troubling does anyone know? >> gl there sfwhrm seems to be people of affluence. they're worried about starving to death don't get depressioner add sft it's clear that there are buy doll forecast are involved. there's a kol bination between individual vulnerability and things that happen in the environment that come together in a synergistic way. everyone said

, he came over from dod to the white house, but this is not someone who is just someone from the dod bureaucracy, this was a political actor who knows kind of -- you know, he knows his way around politics. >> before i let you go, daniel, i want to ask about a pete that you wrote, trump going crazy over impeachment legacy. the president has been brushing off any suggestion that impeachment is on his mind. his daughter ivanka says he's energized by it. so what are you hearing? >> well, i've talked to one former white house official and that person told me that trump is obsessed with his legacy and that he feels -- and he has said to people that if he gets impeached that his presidency is going to be tainted. he has long been concerned about his legitimacy to be president, remember he still talks about the 2016 election result and shows up that map of all the counties that he won. and so this is someone that he cares about how he will be perceived by future generations and he is not happy with the fact that this is going to be -- being impeached is one of the first facts that people wil

>> there was not a hold by dod. dod looked at the provision of aid to the ukraine. we assessed this. we looked at three things. is it important to ukraine with regard to their ability to engage the russians. have the ukrainians sufficient slsufficientlyaddressed corruptr allies also providing security assistance to the ukrainians. the answer was yes and we supported the provision of that aid. >> what keeps you up ad at nig? >> nothing. i know we're well defended by the best military in the world. [ applause ] >> i want to use this end time to talk about your -- >> three minutes, brett. >> yeah, yeah. i see you looking at that clock. >> i'm surviving so far. i may have a job through christmas. [ laughter ] >> i am not the black widow 06f interviewers, i promise you. >> i hope not. >> i want you to talk about capability as, readiness, where the u.s. is today as compared to where we were when the president took office. >> look, we've made significant strides with regard to readiness. the president has made funding our military a top priority. he has given me specific g

>> so we're actually working with the dod now on this product and related products, again, because we think that's an important use of the technology, and, i would say -- so you can sort of think of this from a value chain standpoint. all this software we write ourselves, at our headquarters in red wood city, one way down from that, all the chips. the processors come from qualcomm and nvidia, ti, st and you start getting into plastics, motors, protellers, things like that, the commodity stuff, and not all that stuff is sourced from the u.s. there is no sort of key proprietary technology that we couldn't get in the u.s., but there is a cost spectrum. >> you say working with the dod, what would they do with that? >> the basic capability and it is not just the dod, also first responders, the basic capability that drones offer is being able to keep a person out of harm's way. want to know what is happening in a potentially dangerous situation, whether a fire, explosion, or enemy combatant and you want to know he what is happening without putting a person in harm's way, use a drone to do t

dod says we need this in writing. they're skeptical.see the bureaucratic infighting play out because no one understands why suddenly the president has called for a hold on this money. but omb, as you said, was stonewalled. these deputies have not testified. the only person with omb who testified was one career official, mark sandy. everyone else is in a black hole. "new york times," cnn that have filed for four years have tried to get documents from omb. what's interesting in omb is in the white house, both documents don't have to go. at some point more and more and more is going to come out with what happened inside omb through lawsuits, through information requests, through lots of things they have to comply with that the white house doesn't. how long could the democrats have waited? what if they stalled three months, six months? how long can that process play out? i don't know that that works, either. >> it may get delayed until the president gets reelected, maybe it goes to the new term, maybe it doesn't go at all if the president d

we also talked about that jedi contract that the dod, the department of defense, awarded to microsoft about five weeks ago and that amazon is now contesting in court. he had some very sharp and specific things to say about that his first comments we'll get to in a bit and then there's the question of structure. is aws ever going to be a completely separate company from amazon take a listen. now i ask you this every year and you give me the same answer but i have to ask. is amazon going to spin out aws in 2020? >> no. i would be shocked if that was the case what i tell you every year is that i would never say never about anything having been at amazon for almost 23 years and been a part of so many things i would have never predicted. i'll never say never but there just isn't much need or incentive to do so companies spin out units if they don't want them on their financial statements or need the money to fund the growth of the new unit and neither are the case for aws i also think that customers shouldn't want to us spin out aws because what customers really want from us is they want m

necessary to ensure that dod would not be precluded from updating the funds prior to the exploration. the money was paused according to a letter pending a policy decision. what was a policy decision? your two witnesses, fiona hill and david hello testified there was ongoing global review of foreign assistance generally to ensure any risk program receiving funds were actually were the beneficiaries of our assistance. mr. hale further testified that the president skeptical views on foreign assistance guide guided the foreign affairs review. the only direct evidence for the reasons for the pause comes from omb official mark sandy who testified he learned in september that the pause was related to "the president's concern about other countries contribute more to the ukraine." he explained now that omb received information about what other countries were contributing to the ukraine which omb provided in the first week of september. the aide was released of course on september 11th. the democrats wanted to impeach the evidence that taxpayer funds are spent efficiently and responsibly. the

you know, there are some examples of interagency planning principally between dod and state. i have to tell you, it's very, very hard. we speak fundamentally different languages, have very different planning cultures and very different ways of thinking about competition and conflict. so, i don't mean to make it sound easy, but there is definitely a robust constituency on the defense side that wants to talk more about this, and it would be helpful if they were talking to experts in it as opposed to each other only. right? i'll just say a little bit more about what's happening on the military side in terms of thinking about escalation. you know, our kind of contemporary thinking about escalation has many of its roots in the nuclear space, and so i feel like that's a context i always have to offer, right, when we look at kind of expanding these frameworks to conventional military forces then even further to things like economic policy or sanctions. that not everything translates nicely, but it doesn't mean that there aren't valuable, interesting kind of concepts or pieces of con

if you looked at the budget, the dod requires 750 billion. the state department allows 40 billion. one bill of making 20% of the ships amount that you are talking about. if we're talking about distance, why not talk about the distance between the bay, vietnam taiwan to china. is there a different calculus that we should look to and increase the capability of our navy and surveillance. not only that, but to detour china. i am afraid when i heard the recent news that our assistant secretary just resigned because he is the top pentagon asia hand and he resigned because what he proposed not being approved. having direct ids to the current administration. would you give constellation to the state department, to the ally into our human resources in the defense department and the state department, especially -- it is being stressed that in the strategy, it is at the heart of it. our recent are admitting the u.s. had no presence. would that somehow undermine your work? thank you. >> government approaches have been to the question of china, for example. have been discussed at high levels of

[applause] to the dod witnesses as i've said before, these are the people who trust you, whose trust you are going to have to regain. >> thank you mr. chairman. i would like to begin by it andt again thinking of a vast number of military families have spoken out about the inadequate conditions of the privatized housing. i especially want to recognize the military families to travel today for this hearing as the chairman has done. today we welcome elizabeth field from the gao and senior civilian leadership of the military services. i especially want to thank you and your team for your dedicated work this far. the gao's finding this far confirmed the alarming trends. for example, the gao found that the often quoted 87% satisfaction rate is, quote, misleading and unreliable, and that the records for the request of the work service calls they are questionable. the committee continues to receive complaints directly from the military families. while the services have made strides since last february many problems with housing remains. i am still not convinced that the companies are doing e

or the dod took this issue serious enough in many cases, i think where we had good base commanders it was taken serious and in other areas maybe poor base command allowed these things to happen. but the primary issue that got my attention was the complexity of the landlord tenant contract written by lawyers of extremely large corporations that you represent that is then handed to a soldier, who may be, quite honestly, just out of high school in many cases. and so when you hand these service members the contracts, there are provisions in the contracts and the mediation contracts that are intentionally designed to and have the impact of financial intimidation of our service members and our families that say if they take you to mediation, if that's their only course of action where they can resolve the issue, and they don't win, then they have to pay your legal fees. and so my question is this. are these provisions still in your contracts? we'll just go down the line. >> to the best of my knowledge, congressman, >> we have been adapting the provisions to not have any forms of that type o

of areas some examples of planning between dod and state. it is very hard. we speak fundamentally different languages. we have a different planning culture. and different ways to think about competition and conflict. i don't eat to make it sound easy but there is a robust constituency on the defense side that wants to talk more about this. it would be helpful if they were talking to experts in it as opposed to each other only. i will say a little more about what is happening on the military side. our contemporary thinking about escalation has many of its roots in the nuclear space. context feel there is a that we always have to offer when we are looking at expanding this. not everything translates nicely. there does not mean that are not valuable and interesting concepts that you can work into your thinking. is very military accustomed to having escalation dominance meaning the u.s. can pursue a maximally aggressive military agenda visit of the many different -- vis-À-vis different military adversaries. that is not the case anymore. chris doherty has recentl

issue and we hope you share our view despite recent setbacks it is a valuable program after managing dod housing with that ability to deliver high-quality housing and services to the water nations deserve over the past year the company has listened carefully to the concerns of families have expressed about their housing more than 1200 employees military spouses or have member serving in the military wake up every day to serve our families and daughter and integrity it is obvious some families feel we have come up short as president i apologize to our military families for the times we have failed to live up to expectations. beginning 2017 we undertook a holistic view to explore how we could improve. we identified and implemented several reforms with two main goals to improve the quality of arms and services to make reforms that reestablish a culture of trust and dialogue with residents i'm pleased as i sit here today that those reforms are implemented first we work with a military family organization over dozens of communities in the pipeline they seek to identify issues before they beco

dod would not be precluded from on hi gating the funds prior to expiration. what was the policy decision? your two witnesses, fiona hill, and david hill testified there was an ongoing global review of foreign assistance generally to ensure any program receiving funds were actually worthy beneficiaries of assistance. that the programs made sense, et cetera. mr. hale further testified the president's skeptical views guided the foreign affairs review. in fact, the only direct evidence for the reasons for the pause comes from omb official who testified that he learned in september that the pause was related to, quote, the president's concern about other countries contributing more to ukraine. close quote. he explained how omb received request for information on what other countries were contributing to ukraine, which omb provided the first week of september. the aid was released, of course, on september 11. so democrats want to impeach the president for trying to ensure that taxpayer funds are spent efficiently and responsibly. democrats have accused this preside

and so the majority of the funding wery have is dod related funding. it just makes sense to use the army corps of engineers, the overall contractor but they are subcontracting out with companies throughout the united states just as we did, , just as we would do. that's the main driving force. to be quite honest that are better at it. they've done this before. it's part of what they do. >> is it really possible to control the border without fundamental change to our asylum law? >> that's a good question, and my answer is, there's a a difference between control of the border, so yes, we can get to a position where we have operational capacity to be able to interdict what's coming to the border. the challenge is addressing the flow. that is addressed by congress. look, if we continue to loopholes, we could can change have 1 million people to the border. that doesn't change my want or need to have that control, that operational control of the border. whether i've 1000 or 10,000 coming in a day, i.c.e. to want the same operational control and capacity to ap

>> you have to remember some of the dod funding it has to be specifically for military projects. the majority of the funding is cbp belated funding so we use the army corps but the overall contractor but they are subcontracting out with companies throughout the united states just as we would do but to be quite honest they are better at it and they have done this before that is part of what they do that's the core of the cores job. >> is it really possible to control the border without fundamental change? >> that is a good question and my answer is is it just control? we can get into position to have operational capacity to interdict what is coming at the border but the challenge is addressing that by congress if we continue to have a loophole we will have 1 million people come to the border that doesn't change my need to have that operational control of the border i still want to have that same to apprehend and identify but what we need congress to do so those loopholes drive more to come i want to have operational security on the entire border and i want congress to do their job

the dod also says it no longer uses -- >> i think we need to step back and ask the question why are weemicals that will never go away. >> reporter: it is everywhere. the head of the national toxicology program. they are used to repel water agre grease and oils and all sorts of things. >> there are regulations in many chemicals and drinking water. things like arsenics. >> in our drinking water it is not regulated. here in joanne's neighborhood, the water authority uses filtration system to remove the contamination. the women want federal regulation, something the epa promised to propose by the end of the year. the cdc will spend $1 million to study the health impact here. >> we hope some day you can turn on the kitchen faucet and you can hand a child a drink of water and know it is clean and safe. we are far away from that now. >> one of life's most essential element. anne thompson, pennsylvania. >>> always a worry when you are ordering something online. some of those thieves are braver than others. al minnesota woman ordered a package in amazon, instead of finding at her front door, sh

and at one point on august 12th, there was the dod said, we've got this hard deadline, $61 million has to go out the door. and so what the president's aid said, this is a potus-level decision. this is a decision the president has to make. so turns out that president trump was at bedminster, it was in august, it was a monday. and that morning he was out playing golf with professional golf player. the meeting that the defense department wanted to take place to get this money released did not end up happening. and the hold continued. >> and we know that ukraine was noticing it, because there was sworn testimony where ukraine officials were asking their dod counterparts where this was. did the white house react to your story? >> we got some indications that generally that they thought the story was fair and that it was accurate. we didn't hear any significant pushback, so, i mean, one thing that did become very apparent was that what was happening with the aid hold and what was happening with rudy giuliani and the quote three amigos over in ukraine was, there were two different tracks that

is svia reagan institute 1967, share of global r&d spending, united states had 61%, a big chunk was doded. flash forward 50 years the ussr was a contributor on a global basis, cold war flash forward to 2017, the u.s. only comprises 29% of global r&d spending, just a sliver of that is dod related meantime, china has emerged, in the last 25 years or so, last two decades, china has risen to r&d levels beyond those reached by the ussr during the cold war. does that mean we're going into another cold war, no it means this is part of that longer term national defense strategy, the national security debate, you talk about things like tech transfer, ip theft, state subsidies, longer term discussions that are now part of the trade discussions. you can look at this, look at how it is shaping the defense conversation this will be a big topic at the forum the next couple days, i am moderating a panel on the intersection or lack of intersection between silicon valley and washington, d.c., called harnessing and skurlg american innovation we have been talking about it on "squawk alley" all year long i

maria: so you've been asking the dod, department of defense and ona about information on stefan halperve you learned anything new? >> there is a lot of questions. where does his payment of one million dollars overlap what you brought up about the timeline and getting ahold of carter page and sam clovis and papdopoulus. maria: if you look at this timeline, carter page first met halper in july of '16. it was july of 2016 just a few weeks later that the fbi formally opens up the counterintelligence probe against the trump campaign. we know stefan halper worked with western intel before. sir, was this entrapment? >> it brings up this defense overlap? does it overlap? seems to me like e was doing. maria: i think you will agree that the fbi, when they got the warrant to surveil carter page did not tell the fisa court and the fisa judges that hillary clinton and the democrats actually paid for the steele dossier which was the essential part of that warrant? >> yeah. that is pretty well-known now, but i think it is good you emphasize it. a lot of things supposed to be the president engaging wi

working with our dod partners and support from congress, i think we can get there without going have to go through tremendously radical changes. i do believe though that adjustment in the waterfall to make sure that investment is consistent would be of benefit. >> any other thoughts or comments thank you. >> mr. taylor, i think it's worthwhile to consider everything should be on the table for consideration. but i would say that we have lending agreements that would have to be maintained such that services are paid where it's currently prescribed in the waterfall. so that being said, if we didn't disrupt that, then i think we should be having that conversation about figuring out a better way to have long stir long-term stability. >> any thoughts on that? >> congressman i support that position i think at the end it's just to make sure there's sufficient capital to undertake development. there's a variety of solutions to do that. i think in the interest of bondholders and gate holders need to be in mine. so be a complex arrangement to undertake. >> and last for the sake of time, a finis

all i can tell you is that i am absolutely in awe of the response by our sailors by our civil dod, by sheriff's adopt. there was some real heroism today, real heroism. it made me -- i'm devastated. we're in shock. this is surreal. but i couldn't be prouder to wear the uniform that i wear because of my brothers and sisters in uniform, civilian or otherwise, that did what they did today to save lives and for our brothers and sisters here with the state of florida and with escambia county emergency management and the sheriff's department. from the bottom of my heart, i thank you and thank you for the support. the days ahead are going to be difficult when it finally sinks in what has happened here. the most important thing going forward is to support the families. they are family. we're family here in the navy. so that's where most of our efforts will be going to, supporting the families and the people who have been affected by this terrible tragedy. with that, i turn it back to you, sir. >> thank you, everyone. with thank you for all of the prayers for the escambia county officers and of
