government accounting office has said there's appliance of duplications and inefficiencies in some of the grant programs. will your department work to make sure there are, if there are any duplications that they be removed and that we -- we go forward? because these are good programs but there's only so much money to go around. >>hat's exactly te have and we have to make sure the limited amounts of money to go around and make sure there's not duplication. office of violence against women regularly meet to coordinate pr activities. and i think one thing that people should not assume is because you see ta wumber of th things that we do in the department, that necessarily means that the money is being -- is being -- that we're duplicating efforts there. responsibilities, but we are working to make sure that the money we have is being used in an efficient and appropriate way.>>nd one of the things i'm very proud of, from my team here in the senate, is a bill that i wrote with then senator nighthorse campbell on bumper-to-bumper bulletproof vests. so much so that i've walked down the stree

why is it we would not want to eliminate duplication? why is it we would not want to become efficient and effective in terms of how we spend not our money, but our children's money? because 40 cents, 38 cents this year, of every dollar we spend we're tacking onto a decreased standard of living for our children. everything we do. so tell me why somebody wouldn't want to get rid of some of the duplication, wouldn't want to do the commonsense thing that everyone of the rest of us in our own personal lives do, all our state governments do, all our personal businesses and all our public companies are doing, doing more with less every year and the easiest way to do that is to consolidate and eliminate duplication. so when you see the vote today, if it doesn't get 60 votes, what should the american people learn from that? here's what they should learn. it's not about gridlock. it's not about partisanship. it's about incompetence, and a lack of thoughtful consideration for the people who will follow us. this is easy stuff to do. we have hard stu

there will be less duplication? >> there will be. >> and where does the box sto-- buck stops? >> you have my phone number. >> i'm not talking about your department necessarily. but there's duplication of work being done and when it comes to a problem that arises, there's, well, too many cooks in the kitchen. so you can't nail anybody down. would this from your perspective, would this help with accountability? >> i do. again, there's a lot of opportunities for us to improve our performance. in these lean times that we're all in, we need to be looking at every opportunity we have to improve our performance, create the efficiencies that the american tax pair are demanding a tone reduce costs because there is no new dollars coming our way. >> all right. well, thank you. that was just brought up and i'm glad senator murkowski brought it up because i think ultimately in the end, i think money is important but for us, what's equally important in my opinion, is if something goes upside down and there's more than one agency dealing with it, people slip through the cracks. that's not wh

i think we have to begin to look for a redund danes and duplication of effort. we now have a counterterrorism center, we now have homeland security with intelligence, and we also now have the fbi, and so i hope you will take a look at that, because the dollars are precious, and we're already experiencing cuts in the intelligence budget. so here's my question -- what are, in the national security area, your budget reductions? what will that mean for counterterrorism, and are there any gaps in our efforts? >> no. i think that we have adequate amounts of money contained in the budget that we have requested. if you look at the amount of money that has gone to the fbi for the national security sphere i think since 2001 about a 300% increase. i mean 300% for the justice department. for the fbi, 400%. a really substantial increase over the course of the last ten years or so. and even with the flat budget that we essentially have for the justice department and its components including the fbi, i think we have adequate amounts of money to keep the american people safe. a

it's folly for us to try and duplicate their efforts today. and particularly in a time of austerity. it doesn't make any sense to me. >> i appreciate that and it is -- i mean the whole thing is kind of frustrating and it's kind of like on other financial type things you've got the ftc and cftc having to jointly do rules making, which is hard enough among five commissioners, let alone five commissioners in three different committees to agree. where could we easily save money? so we have got seven regional offices, you want to add, you know, a couple of people in an inexpensive place in miami. so is there an atlanta office? >> yes. >> so could the atlantic office -- atlanta office close and become the miami office? >> that would not be -- i think my preference or the preference of most of the members of the commission, although i would talk with them about it. what i think we would do is we would post -- if we go forward with the miami office, we post for it from within our existing agency. my guess is we would have a lot of people doing that. m

it will cost you $20,000 for duplication and search fees. that's what i've been running into and a lot of requests have. you'll hear these horror stories in the web. there was a case out west somewhere, i want to say it was in iowa or something where a local government had filed a foia request to the post office about the closing of of the post office. they got a letter back that said we have estimated that this request will cost $462,124.38. and we'll begin processing your request. and trust us, that we came up with a good number basically. agency also do that but they'll also do something a little bit more insidious, i think, where they will do something along the lines of, the cia just did this in one of the c cases, where we filed a foia request for records which would indicate which ten requesters submitted the most requests in a couple fiscal years. we gave several options. we said you can give us just those ten, depending on how you can short your database, you can give us a daybase listing of the foia log from those ten. you can give

>> again, duplication is always a concern for all of us, i believe as we go forward during these lean times. i'm aware of two studies we're assisting with. one study by epa, and then a second study being conducted by the usgs within the department of interior. our participation is fairly limited to providing statistics and data that they are then taken into account as part of their analysis. as it relates to the bureau of land management. we are proposing a new rule relative to fraking. the components of that rule is based upon the three primary recommendations that came to us from the department of energy task force. the three components we're focused on is public disclosures of the chemicals that are being used. drilling operations on public lands. many states have such disclosure policies in place right now. and we want to make sure that the standards that are going to apply to public lands are similar to what's being applied on state lands. the second component of our proposed fraking rule will address well bore integrity. to make sure that the casings that are being used during t

north texas brain injury model system, tbi center, a centralized research approach that avoids duplication is lacking. a report released this january including coordinating authority for psychological health for traumatic brain injury activities emphasized the need for coordination of care and services in traumatic brain injury in patients in the department of defense. they have been conducting their research and there was no central location to obtain accurate and timely information on traumatic brain injury and they had to use a variety of resources to obtain their data. i believe we will not better coordinate services if we don't get a grasp and this hearing is designed to do that on funding of projects that are meant to address traumatic brain injury. hr-2600 would lead centers like the country's leading center for pediatric brain injury, to continue benefiting individuals with system and care. the money will be allocated from the fund on hand to advance our knowledge of the brain over the next several years. i'll yield back my time. >> your opening statement. >> thank you, mr. chairma
