if i may want to add one item on the gao report and the expert major the gao. i think, hope that this court, and like to express outrage for you notice that the gao opinion never even mentions, not even mentions the determination by judge gilliam and this court about the legal issues here. i'm just astonished that a federal agency would report to describe the meaning of the statutory provision without even mentioning recent decisions by judges. the zone of interest test i think what we would like the court and again we stated in our brief, i believe judge bork provided a very good discussion in the bracy decision and i think the court was quite persuasive in its decision so i would urge the court to look at judge bork's words there. and the one other thing is again my friend who by the way is a phenomenal oral advocate, i believe what i heard the answer to i believe chief judge thomas's question was no. it's a practical manner and nobody can sue. the appropriations clause can be violated at will by the president in such a major and public way and there really i

from the constitutions i've had with the gao, the team that was here. it was the first time that they've actually made that broad of a recommendation. the number of recommendations were significant, over a hundred recommendations, and in every domain of i.t. from security to finance, to operations, every domain that there exists. the biggest progress we have made is in security. and i'm very proud to say that at this point all of the major systems within the library have now obtained what we call an authority to operate which means the security of those systems have been validated, tested and compared to nist standards who is the body that we look to for establishing security standards. >> on that topic, let me go to ms. temple before i run out of time here with first questions. on the security topic, you know, intellectual property clearly one of the things that we're with, with good reason, most concerned about. one of the big targets of cyber espionage and other things, do you feel good about where we're headed in terms of the security of the informa

so we've asked gao to take a look at this argument. i think to the extent that they agree, it will just be more evidence on top of the already mountains of evidence that this was far from a perfect call and a perfect action, and that this will represent another violation of the law. >> so we know that the gao is already looking into this. i mean, what do you hope your letter adds to that conversation? and do you anticipate that you're going to get some resolution to this before the senate makes a decision on the impeachment articles? >> well, i certainly hope so. gao began looking into this after i asked them a series of questions at a budget committee hearing. and so we're now following up on that line of questioning. and we're glad the gao is conducting this review and look forward to receiving their legal opinion. i certainly hope we have that in time for the senate proceeding because what it does is knock the legs out of even the president's argument which is still sort of a fanciful theory based on what we know. but what we're say

jennings says the gao merely found a lack of documents and electronic data, and jennings says auditors could not point to any specific case where a veteran was deported who should not have been. david: the fact that no one pointed out some glaring case that was just hanging there, i'd like to think the officers and managers around the country are making really good decisions on these. male: how can you assure that ice will consistently handle veterans cases going forward? david: so going forward, we're going to have to go with the recommendations, the training, reiterating that it needs to be asked and answered. male: partially in response to our reporting over the last 3 years, some congressional representatives have now introduced several bills that would protect immigrant veterans from deportation. among those bills, congressman takano's hr 4890 which already has attracted nearly three dozen co-sponsors. if passed, this bill would legally recognized military service as a sacrifice that demonstrates loyalty to the us and would grant non-citizen veterans equal benefits and rights as c

and again, gao has many areas that we place on the high-risk list. those are areas where we want to bring attention. one of the areas as we've been talking about is the national flood insurance program. it's been -- has its own high-risk designation and is essentially because that program and the crop insurance program were never really designed to generate enough revenues to pay for the expenses. as i noted, the national flood insurance program owes the treasury $21 billion currently. i believe that congress actually wrote off a similar amount recently. so yes, these are growing federal fiscal exposures that the federal government faces. and they're unsustainable. >> mayor benjamin, want to circle back to a couple comments from your narrative. one was, you know, you talked about how you prepare for and plan for greater climate change-related events. help me understand that. what is -- what do you and your city council assuming it's a city council, how do you budget and plan to address future climate change-related events for your city? >> sure. than
