that's why what's happened in fy-'14 could not come at a better time. it's momentum we hope can be sustain sustained. as you know, this kind of science is not a 100-yard dash. we're engaged in a marathon. the other thing about that trajectory you're asking about, it's on an upward course. i guarantee it won't be a smooth and steady one. we'll have big moments of realization that we've learned something we didn't expect. then we'll have big disappointments where a clinical trial that looked really good somehow didn't work. it's going to be jumping around a bit, but it's headed upward. and it is my hope and my commitment that with your help and with the amazing talent that we have in our u.s. and worldwide scientific work force we are going to tackle and win this disease battle. >> i appreciate that answer. again, you use the word hope. i always use the word hope when it comes to medical research. what you're suggesting is that there are reasons to be hopeful. >> yes, i totally support that statement 100%. >> let me ask about a particular set of people th

the specter ofto sequestration slated to return in fy 2016. as a result of the last few months of analysis, we were able to identify with some precision, what the post sequestration would look like over the next decade. that means significantly fewer navy ships, including at least one less aircraft carrier, trapping the army down even further to 420,000 active-duty soldiers. cutting more air force squadrons, the landmark curtailing the purchasing of .trike fighters shorting combat units of spare parts, basic maintenance, and the ability to conduct complex and realistic training. consider the kind of military and the kind of world that could follow several years of sequestration. the u.s. could not respond decisively to simultaneous aggression by two states. not respond tod disasters overseas or other contingencies that require america's leadership. some allies and partners would be more likely to hedge their bets and cuts ideals with their larger and more aggressive neighbors. finally, america would remain the world's leading military power, b

effects of the fy-'13 sequester, we were gratified nih was able to turn that corner. let me begin my report on the scientific challenges we face in alzheimer's by underscoring that all of the work i'm going to discuss is really about helping patients and their loved ones. that's what we are committed to and we know you are too. one of the most famous of those patients is country music star glen campbell. along with a number of you, i was thrilled to be on hand last spring when glen was honored at the alzheimer's association gala. here's a photo of him and me with an autographed guitar pick that he gave me, which is a prized possession since i'm a musician also. to see his great talents, a national treasure really, so compromised by this devastating disease is a reminder of just how much is at stake. we've heard the sobering statistics, and they've been already cited in opening statements by senator harkin and senator moran about the wave of diseases that will break over the united states as the baby boom generation ages. already about 5 million americans have been dia

the budget was $29.1 billion in fy 13 with 504 million tivo did to alzheimer's disease research. we are thrilled that the fy 14 omnibus includes an additional 100 million for research on the aging including alzheimer's disease but as you can see the investment pales in comparison to the cost. in our efforts to find ways to prevenprevent, delay or treat alzheimer's and other dementia we are bringing to bear all possible technology from genomics to imaging to the big data tools, but the task is an. we don't know how the normal brain from chen left alone with alzheimer's. in fact this month's national geographic provides a glimpse of what the nih funded researchers are doing to explore what's been called biology's last frontier of the human brain and i couldn't help but notice on the newsstand has the brain on its cover for the current issue. as you know the nih is leading the initiative called a brain research in advancing the latest nero technology that is an acronym and we are grateful for the subcommittee support for this pioneering venture in the omnibus. the initiative, which

it will be capped at 4.6 with estimates of 4.8% in fy '15.t was more interesting, this is the last budget that was announced before the national elections come on board is that the fy '15 will be capped at 4.1% of gdp. now most of the market will be back with that on the positive size but now there is some amount of skepticism rising on how exactly that 4.1% estimate will be met. for example, there is an estimate that there will be a gap close of 19% coming in. remember, this comes at a time when the tax estimated growth for fy '14 should have 19% but we've only managed to do 7% of the nine months of fy '14 indicating that this may be a bit more optimistic. in fact, the finance minister himself is talking about the budget. >> fiscal deficit for 2013-'14 will be contained at 4.6% of gdp, well below the red line that i drew last year. more importantly, the current deficit that threatened to exceed last year's amounts 88 billion will be contained in u.s. dollars, 45 billion. >> let's give you a look at what's on the agenda. thanks for that, ekta

got budget caps that congress put into law for defense for the next eight years all the way through fy 21. and this budget will conform with those caps for one years, for 2015 but not in the remainder of the years. there's still -- the pentagon is still planning to spend more than the budget caps will allow. so this isn't the final word on this. we're seeing a gradual convergence here between what the pentagon is planning and what the congress is enacting as budget caps but the two lines has not met. there's more to come after this. >> todd what about the wounded warriors that congress is talking so much about? >> funding for wounded warriors is absolutely protect they had this budget. they are not doing anything that would protect -- that would hurt those who have served in iraq, afghanistan and other wars who now need those benefits. most people don't realize that funding for veterans is actually not in the defense budget, that is funded in the department of veterans affairs, a separate part of the government. it's not part of the defense caps as well. we actually spend $150 million

moving on to the new budget, we essentially added a year's worth of additional costs to the fy 14-15 reimbursement schedule totaling $875,000. that covers again city attorney costs, consultant costs and some oewd costs. along with that we're proposing, there's an existing deferral in the ena for reimbursement of some of these costs that was due to expire in april of this year. consistent with the other changes in the schedule we're pushing that deferral date out a year. gsw under the proposed second amendment would pay the port $200,000 of some outstanding costs and we would see about $500,000 deferred until april of 2015. so that summarizes my presentation. i'm available to answer any questions that you may have. >> so moved. >> second. >> is there public comment? i have one dennis mckenzie >> thank you, commissioners, i'm dennis mckenzie, education. i provided you with a short update on proposal to ask the warriors to collaborate and provide a college classroom that could also serve as a field study classroom which as one -- also a copy of a letter i provided to this commission 5 y

in our report, we quantity fy a number that we can do either to the weak economy or to other factors with we quantify. so we think and we talk at some length in this report of the qualitative sense about structural changes in health care in the country. we think we have seen significant structural changes in the ways i think it's driven partly by realization on the part of health care providers. and to some extent patients that some health care does not necessarily very helpful in prove improving people's health. i think it also comes from a realization in the part of providers and beneficiaries that the cost, the amount of health care spending in the economy is really putting an incredible pressure on other goods and services that we would like to enjoy. and the realization on the part of people, as i said, in the system, that with those pressures of high health care spending they need to look for ways to provide health care more efficiently. so what we have done is to take them down considerably. so relative to our protections four years ago, around 2020, it's down between 10% and

of the fiscal year to avoid what the chair described as a nearly 100% drop in new federal funds in fy 15. the economic impact of such a drop would resonate far beyond the lack of direct investment into our infrastructure. in action would drastically disrupt the supply chain, efficiency, and cost of movement of goods and our overall competitiveness. the highway trust fund was intended to not only facilitate the unique characteristics of funding transportation but also to provide funding safeguards for the highest priority projects. putting such a structure on a sound fiscal footing will restore the stability and certainty of the trust fund that is so vital to economic growth. i have to say, some believe that for some reason it is a conservative principle to adhere strictly to our current flawed and that in perpetuity is all there should ever be to meet our infrastructure demands. i don't understand that at all and will be advocating for solutions that go beyond the. what i do understand our concerns about a net tax increase for cash-strapped middle-class family and i will be seeking a
