in that situation, the office of security and the federal protective service share a partnership. so it could be -- it could be either the office of security or the federal protective service. just depends on who is first on scene. that is who is going assume incident command of the situation. and then it will involve from there. we will look to at that point, bring in the metropolitan police department and other support to help us in resolving that situation. >> mr. goldstein, what percentage of security guards has active shooter training? what percentage has security screener training? and if security guards do not have proper training, how would you expect them to be able to keep weapons and bombs out of a federal building or respond to an active shooter? >> mr. chairman, our study was not generalizable. so i can't say for sure how many actually do have that kind of screening today. however, what we found in looking at -- in talking to several guard companies around the company was there are pockets of guards that do not. several years ago, when we did this kind of work, we foun

so it's my understanding that the federal protective service has four alarm monitoring facilities or mega centers that monitor federal government security alarm accounts. one in maryland, one in michigan, pennsylvania and coll. the centers also have the law enforcement function of dispatching federal protective service officers on emergency call. has your agency ever done an analysis on what the overall operational cost is to maintain the force facilities, including staffing, and whether it would actually be more cost-effective for the taxpayer to move the alarm monitoring function to a commercial monitoring center? >> we haven't looked into that. but alarm monitor something not an inherently governmental function. so i think that is something that someone could look at. that goes to though the issue of response. when the pso sees something or there is a problem, they should always contact the mega center unless there is an fps law enforcement officer online. but in terms of the management and operation of those mega centers, whether it can be privatized, we have not looked at that. >> would that be something you would seek to do from a

cooperation between local, regional, and national security services to gradually reduce operational space por isil particularly in the province and finally the federal government through its new parliament and a new cabinet must work diligently on a package of reforms to address legitimate grievances from all communities and ensure adequate resources to restructure security services. these five principles can begin to address many of core grievances in the sunni areas of iraq while also importantly denying space for isil to operate and protect the shia majority and other vulnerable groups from attacks. it will require a smart, integrated approach led my a new iraqi government with an appropriate level of support and assistance. i can report that iraqi leaders have asked for this assistance in implementing such a program and general austin, commander of centc centcom, will be in iraq tomorrow to discuss concrete ways in which our assistance might be effective. this model of a functioning federalism is achievable and essential if we hope to deny space for isil within the borders of iraq. i look forward to discussing more details and once again i want

the social security has felt the same fiscal squeeze that every federal agency has in recent years. and social security has worked hard to maintain critical services. that's required making some tough decisions, including reducing field office hours and consolidating some offices to address budget and staffing challenges. ms. colvin has been actively working on ways that social security can effectively manage its program integrity work load. as acting commissioner of social security, ms. colvin has made a strong push to make social security information more user friendly and accessible to a broader swath of americans. she's made social security work more efficiently with other federal partners. and she has devoted significant time and significant resources to addressing the needs of the many disabled americans, the agency serves. and i'm very pleased that that's the case, ms. colvin, because just a few weeks ago we had a hearing looking at chronic disease and those who are disabled, and right next to chair mukulski was ms. dempsey from georgia who had done everything right in america, and had been pounded with one illness after another. and the ta
