i wasn't here before to hear elliott's speech, but elliott as alys writhis. and i think the most momentous and important thing was president bush's state of the union in 2002. and he gave this little notice passage at the end, where he talked about the nonnegotiable demands of human dignity that we were going to push them, including in the muslim world. and that was a really important signal to us within the bureaucracy. to start pursuing this. we had a lot of help from capitol hill. there were large increases in funding after 9/11 for hrdf in particular, including for the middle east. in those first two years, we were able to use that increased funding to really begin some of the work in the middle east. and obviously, we were working on other issues. i mentioned china, central asia, ncc, the muslim world in general. but 9/11 really gave us an early focus. and really enabled us to begin working -- i saw gene kirkpatrick, he used to be on my board at iri, and this was some years before she died. i remember going over to see her, and she said what's different

elliott, i wanted to ask you about the northern distribution network. i guess in two levels, number one the importance of it is so apparent as we draw down in afghanistan to get supplies, equipment, and so much else through that network. i guess can you assess where we are as it relates to the role played by tajikistan, number one. and number two, how you upon confirmation will prioritize and focus on the importance of t the -- of their help for us in the northern distribution network. >> well, thank you, mr. chairman. tajikistan has played a very important role in the northern distribution network, which as you rightfully mentioned has become extremely important in getting vital supplies to our troops in afghanistan. likewise, it will play an extremely important role in taking equipment out of afghanistan as we begin to lessen our military presence there. i have worked closely with the government of tajikistan on these issues. while tajikistan doesn't have a developed rail network like some of the other countries in central asia, they have been very su

welcome back we're talking about deflation among other things with robert proctor founder of elliott wave international and author of conquer the crash you can survive and prosper in a deflationary depression and before the break mr parker we were talking about yields these record lows that we've seen for a ten year treasury yields as just one benchmark so you predict that ultimately we will see interest rates rise but in the interim how low do you think we could see these treasury yields go. well we think they're pretty much making bottom as we speak this is a different change of opinion over the past thirty years that we have many indications right now that they've gone a little bit. to the point where people are now embracing the trend you know as you know all last year and in the first few months of this year people just hated the bond more and they said this is the worst everybody knows rates are going up you don't want to know about bonds well now they're embracing them the latest figure we just saw from the d.s.i. the daily sentiment index on bunsen which is a poll of futures

is a reason why the european union was destined for disintegration he's robert proctor founder of elliott wave international and author of this book conquer the crash you can survive and prosper in a deflationary depression and he is here to tell us what he thinks is ahead and what he still believes is a deflationary coming up ahead of us deflationary period so first of all robert proctor welcome to the show thanks for being back on capital account. thanks we love to have you on so you have been talking about the disintegration of europe since nine hundred ninety eight i mean a long time ago and despite everything we've seen used to think that we have a few more years several years before we could reach a bottom so what are we looking at in terms of declines here. well you know most people. looking at these events coming out of europe and asking what they mean what they're going to cause but i think they're all results in the results of the change that you just alluded to a big change from extreme euphoria in one thousand nine hundred nine and kind of double top and euphoria in two thousa

elliott, i'm aware that alabama participates in the security program. can you elaborate more on that, mr. chairman? >> yes. and first of all i'd like to thank the state for participation in what we think is a very worthwhile program. at csx we believe that transparency is very important in building solid programs. it's a technology-based program that allows bon infusion programs and partnerships at several agencies and actually allow these agencies to see in a realtime format every train that's operating on csx transportation and to identify every commodity being transported within those trains. we think that's very important because often times states and federal agencies depend upon csx to translate information and you lose valuable time. the secure now program allows the state and federal homeland security centers to have this real-time access to all csx trains and commodities so if they get indication of a credible and confirmed threat they can see the rail commodities moving through their states on csx and take the appropriate action by contacting

elliott mentioned an issue of attitudes in greece. i think when we are on the wrong side of human rights, it ultimately catches up to us. whether it's in the short-term, medium-term, or long-term. the struggle that goes on that we continue to have with every administration -- as with every administration, how you apply the standard of human rights. should we -- we have different agencies in our government that ustr cares only about trade, maybe disagree with that. we had a recent debate on colombia free-throw. it was all about the economics, economics -- free trade. it was all about economics, economics, economics, it was hard to get the human rights part of it on the table which i regret. whether we should sell arms to bahrain given the fact that bahrain has not been treating their people well. i think we shouldn't. i also understand some people think there is a strategic military advantage to doing that. so the policy goes forward. again, there's always this struggle about what we should do. where our policy should be. it's not enou

elliott, i wanted to ask you about the northern distribution network. and i'll hold that in abeyance for just a moment. special immigration visas. basically if someone in iraq and a citizen in iraq has helped the american forces in ways that put them at substantial risk, we expedite their visas pursuant to the special visa program. and as i said, these are individuals that live under threat today. i know that the process has been expedited and that the u.s. has admitted as many applicants in fiscal year 2012 as it did in all of 2011, so there is progress. but there's still a backlog. the question i have for you, i don't know if you have a number, but if you don't, if you could get it to us. the number of cases of special immigrant visas. how many are in the pipeline for the so called principle applicants. and number two, how many cases are pending for applicants through the direct access visa process? if you could just tell us about that. >> thank you, senator. this issue is very important to me. it's a very personal issue to me. i had the opportunity t

elliott. before i get to my questions, we're joined by two ranking members. a ranking member of our foreign relations committee, senator lugar and the ranking of our sub commit senator risch. and i think senator risch has a statement? >> just go ahead. >> okay. we'll do as many rounds as we can. probably it looks like five-minute rounds. i wanted to ask you about leadership, which is a, of central concern in any confirmation process but maybe especially so for the position that you've been nominated for. there will be those who say and i want to have you respond to this that you have based upon your record broad experience in iraq. early -- several time periods within which you've served and you've been called back for service add i indicated under two administrations. but they will also say that you haven't had the leadership position that would with lend itself to the kind of experience that would prepare for such a substantial assignment. and i want you to answer that question, because i think it's an important one in terms of demonstrating in this confirm

the president has nominated susan marsh elliott to be the new ambassador to tajikistan. susan, i note you were born in doylestown, pa. i can't say that will guarantee your confirmation, but it won't hurt. certainly won't hurt. she's currently the deputy assistant secretary of state for south and central asian affair, served in russia, northern ireland, greece, peru and honduras. she also has the distinction of having been born in pa but i don't want to put too much weight on that. i would also like to welcome her son who's joined her today. curt for being with her today and acknowledge deputy assistant secretary elliott's husband mathias who could not be with us today because he is currently serving as the deputy chief of mission in our embassy in honduras and, please, wish him well for us. i want to thank all our witnesses for being here. we'll start with madam ambassador, start with you and maybe go from my right to the left, and if could you try to keep your opening remarks to five minutes. if you have a longer statement that will certainly be made part of the record.

elliott? >> i think it's fair to say that much like my colleagues on the witness stand today we appreciate a lot of the very good work that tsa does. with the increase of the surface transportation inspectors who we see with increased frequency and our yards that really all we are seeing is not just one inspector who would come to kind of review the transfer of the custody regulation, but we are seeing the multiple inspectors basically just showing up to look at the same regulations. so, i'm not sure we are seeing any commensurate enhancements in the security by the addition of more surface transportation inspectors. >> then yes or no, do you think that it has been worth a doubling of the work force from the securities and point? >> i have not seen that. >> we have 24 seconds. >> nope. >> chief o'connor? >> we've seen an increase in the canines and increase in public and employee training. >> mr. bling and chip? >> the increase is in the baseline inspection that has occurred. >> mr. morris? >>
