we want to do and that is not the case with the situation in okinawa, japan, mainland of japan and guam. we do not have that report which we're waiting for. and it's a report which we believe very strongly we should get as to what the future requirement is in that area and until we get that report, our feeling is we should not be committing large sums of money to improvements in guam or to other pieces of that puzzle. >> thank you. next question. >> compromise always willing to talk. >> go ahead. >> general cartwright, to what extent do you think that emerging u.s. cyber capabilities will offset spending in other areas and i was wondering if you think all this reporting about olympic games and other u.s. cyber operations against iran could actually enhance the u.s. deterrence posture. i know in the past you talked about the need to focus on offensive cyber capabilities versus defensive ones and also if senator levin wants to comment about that, that would be great. >> i think on the emergence of cyber capabilities, both defensive and offensive, part of what we're trying to make -- what

mainland of japan and guam. we do not have that report, which we're waiting for. and it's a report which we believe we should get as to what the future requirement is in that area, and until we get that report our feeling,we should not be committing large sums of money to improvements in guam or to other pieces of that puzzle. >> thank you, next question. >> compromise, always willing to talk. >> yes, go ahead. >> john harper. general cartwright, to what extent do you think merging u.s. cyber capabilities will offset the need for defense spending in other areas. also, i was wondering if you think, just reporting about olympic games and other u.s. cyber operations against eye ron that actually enhanced the u.s. deterrence posture. you talked about cyber capabilities, versus defensive ones. and senator levin wants to comment on that. that would be great. >> the emergence of cyber capabilities, both defensive and offensive, part of what we're trying to make -- what i had, at least advocated for was that like missile defense, like the conventional capabilities that th

that is not the case with the situation in okinawa and in guam. we're waiting for a report on that, as to what the future requirement is in that area. until we get that report, our feeling is we should not commit large sums of money to improvements in guam or to other pieces of that puzzle. always willing to talk. >> next question. >> how will emerging usip capabilities offset the need for defense and other areas? and in tehran, you've talked about the need to focus on offensive capabilities vs defensive capabilities. >> on the first, the emergence of cyber capabilities, defensive and offensive, part of what we are trying to -- what i had at least advocated for was that, like missile defense, like the conventional capabilities that this nation has in the kinetic sense, airplanes, ships, etc., that the balance and the utility of those activities and how they are put together an integrated against the problems we actually have, not the ones we wish to have, are critical. and so, to ignore the emergence of the capabilities of missile defense, to igno

that is not the case with the situation in okinawa and guam. we do not have that report which we are waking -- waiting for. we believe very strongly we should get what the picture for crime is in that area. our feeling is we should not be committing large sums of money to improvements in guam or other pieces of that puzzle. >> general cartwright, to what extent do you feel that our capabilities will offset the need for spending in other areas? also, i was wondering if you think [unintelligible] against iran could actually enhance the u.s. posture? >> on the first, the emergence of cyber capabilities, but the bids of an offensive, part of what we are trying -- what i had at least advocated for was that like missile defense, like the conventional capabilities that this nation had in the kinetic sense of airplanes, ships, etc., that the balance in the utility of those activities and how they are put together an integrated against the problems we actually have, not the ones we aspire or wish to have, are critical. to ignore the emergence of the cap

guam me brownguam me brown is -- kwame brown is expected to have a second plea to answer a charge levelled at brown today, a misdemeanor involving his campaign spending back in 2008. today we spoke with voters in dc, and you could see they were surely disappointed. >> it's really sad. dc got to go through this time after time and they say we're not finished yet. there's still more people involved. >> well, brown can face several months in jail on both charges. but we are hearing tonight that he may do no jail time at all. it's all part of the plea deal with the prosecution. >>> well, we told you last night about the street and sidewalks along dc popular u street corridor are all about to get an upgrade. construction takes place on u street between 9th and 4th street beginning next monday. but not everybody is all fired up about the start of this construction project. our ken molestina is live down on u street with more on what the residents down there say about all of this. ken. >> reporter: yes, derek, this is just one of those neighborhoods that has seen so much. it's endured so much fro

marine presence in guam, going to make that move now so green corps increasing also. finally, we sustained or launched new capabilities specifically for the region. i mentioned the new bomber. the girt pay load. prompt strike and a host of upgrades in radars, electronic warfare. new munitions of various kinds and on and ond. all not only protected but enhance it going toward. i wanted to give you some of those particulars. i'll take one more. then that's it. the other one derived from the president who had a very good instinct in this regard. he kept saying to us make sure that you don't follow the last in first out rule. that you don't pull up the things that are most shallowly rooted, namely your new things. i want to see that we are enhancing the capabilities that are going to be part of our future. and what are they? well, cyber, for example. we'll spend more on in the future. we have lots of opportunities there and we will. certain aspects of our sigh yens and technology base, we continue to invest in the future. special operat

not from the left but he should not taken colonies or extend protector status for cuba and pr and guam and the philippines. he's against it from the right because he sees it as racially dangerous. he says it's dangerous for the assets of america to incorporate a subject population of spanish americans with all the mixture of indian and negro blood and malays and other unspeakable asiatics. sent your note new york is the very immigrant destination. it is far from being immune from our racialist and ethnically discriminatory rhetoric and ideology. there is a long-term something had a little bit chronologically repercussion the company's role and new york's role in particular in 1898, certainly any number of new york businessman wanted to sugar, they wanted to be able to have a captive market for banking capital and so on. you also have, as a result, more and more destination for break-ins under the projector and then in 1917 there made u.s. citizens and new york becomes the great, even before the 1940's, the great hesperus city the largest jewish speaking in the country you have in the 1

the man and his wife, the pilot and his wife, the wife finally gets to guam where he's just been stationedover he's been now sent to berlin across the world. but there are also things, the candy bomber. >> right. well, the woman you were talking about was mary widmar, and she was actually at an event i did in denver. the candy bomber was a man named gale halverson, later became provost of the university of utah, who like any -- he had an .8 mm revere spring-loaded movie camera. and he was nuts to use it. and the first time he landed in the berlin as a pilot he went around the periphery of this great bowl taking pictures of it. and when he came to the end of the runway by these apartment buildings, there were a whole bunch of kids standing there watching the planes land. the kids loved seeing that, watching it. and he talked to them for a while. he actually spoke a little german. and then when he was walking away, he realized that they had never asked him for anything. he had been serving in the pacific and in europe and, of course, kids were always asking for candy, money or whatever. and

nobody ever went to a ball guam to see the umpire. >> reporter: this opinion did give heart to many courternment risked becoming just as much of a hyperpartisan free-for-all as the rest of american politics has become by joining the courts' liberals, the chief justice seemed to have stopped that. terry moran, abc news, the supreme court. >>> terry moran doing a fantastic job on the story. the high court's decision handed president obama a major victory in the middle of a very close re-election race. experts say it also gives republicans a rallying point as we head toward november. the gop is worried about the impact on small business, and mitt romney called the health overhaul bad law. >> it is time for us to move forward to implement and where necessary improve on this law. >> what the court did not do on its last day in session, i will do on my first day if elected president of the united states. and that is i will act to repeal obamacare. >> now a major conservative group americans for prosperity announced a $9 million campaign against the health care plan. they pointed out on world ne

the left that we shouldn't take colonies or extend protect rate status to cuba and puerto rico and guam and the philippines. he's against it from the right because he sees it as racially dangerous. he says it's dangerous for the united states of america to incorporate a subject population of spanish-americans with all the mixture of indian and negro blood and malaise and other unspeakable asiatics. so even though new york is the great immigrant destination in this period, it's far from being immune from a racialist, an ethnically-discriminatory rhetoric and ideology. there's a long-term, um, jumping ahead a little bit chronologically, there's a long-term repercussion or ramification of the country's role and new york's role in particular, um, in taking over parts of the spanish overseas empire in 1898. um, certainly any number of new york businessmen wanted the sugar, they wanted to be able to have a captive market in the spanish caribbean for banking capital and so on. but you also have as a result new york becomes more and more destination for puerto ricans under the protectorate, and

i always wonder, if you were going to take it to the logical conclusion, if you were born in guam or, are you somewhat exceptional, because you know, you are not a full citizen with full rights, but it is something to divide us from many of the immigrants who are increasingly hispanic, and not what we typically think of as the face of america. >> and anthea, is this what birtherism is about, and saying that i just can't believe that this guy is an american because of literally what he looks like? >> yeah, exactly. i will put it one step further and it is what it is, because he took the american dream and made it happen. so i think a collective tourette's gasp of oh, my god, we have a black president and went to harvard what my white kid would have and we have all of the brown people crowding us out and completely freaked everybody out and that is why he is having problems with white male working class voters, because those are the people who feel like they have been exceptional no matter how much money they made, and now the rest of the population is telling me that i'm not so except

i found out that puerto rico and guam, all of those areas that are territory, they don't get a full representative because they are not states. they are not required to pay any federal income tax. they filed a bill that would allow residents of district of columbia never have to pay any federal income tax until they have a full voting representative. i filed another bill the legislative way, to deal with the tyranny. that is to draw line description around federal buildings, non-resident and then cede everything back to maryland. that happened in 1847 and '48. people in virginia said you're not using everything west the potomac. that's when you see the map of d.c., it's not a perfect square anymore because everything west of potomac was ceded back to virginia. unfortunately i couldn't get norton to support any one of those bill. she wanted to push representative despite what the constitution says. i wanted to do it legislatively. it didn't look like it was going to happen. host: representative louie gohmert joining us this morning. i want to mention one thing. this is from a blog run by dave. the

there that we claim for america, more than any other nation on the the face of planet because we have guam because of hawaii, because of the aleutians and is so forth. we have the most extensive, and i'll bring a map in one today. it's extraordinary. the to sit here and think that we're not going to take advantage of that and stake our claim and have our claims legitimate so our companies can go out would be just astonishing. the companies want this. they, they're ready to pay the royalty. because they want the profits that come from the other 93%. >> we've established the royalties. i just have to say, and i'm afraid i'll cut you off before i respond -- >> no, i won't. i've never cut you off, senator. >> about a tax. money that would be coming to the united states that by virtue of this treaty would not come to the united states, i call that a tax. most people outside of washington would call that a tax. >> well, senator, you're entitled -- we will, as i said, make it crystal clear in the ratification document, and i think the companies will be quite upset that you are protecting them fro

i found out that puerto rico, guam, you know, mariana islands, all of those areas that are territories, they don't get a full-voting representative because they're not states. but as a result to avoid tyranny they're not required to pay any federal income tax. libby, i actually filed a bill that would allow residents of the district of columbia never to have to file any federal income tax or pay any income tax if they're residents here until such time as they have a full voting representative. i filed another bill that would be a legislative way to constitutionally deal with the tyranny, and that is to draw line description around all federal buildings, nonresident, and then cede everything else back to maryland. that happened in 1847, people said you're not using everything west of the potomac, let us be part of virginia, which we really are. that's why when you see the map of d.c., it's not a perfect square because everything west of the potomac was ceded back to virginia. so why not do that to make it fair for the residents of the district of column ya? unfortunately, i could not ge

rico is being level funded it seems grossly unfair that the only the united states, virgin islands, guam, and the commonwealth of the marianas are singled out for cuts. why cut $10 million? or it could have been spread out over the entire blip and not raise a blip in the district and puerto rico. for us small economies it's a big blow. it could have been worse. discretionary and not secure. so while all the cuts, i have to thank the senate for hearing our pleas and keeping our funding in the trust fund. after all of the time, though, that we have waited for even this two-year infrastructure and transportation bill, i could not in good conscience oppose the bill before us today. what is being done to the territories is unfair. it seems deliberative and unnecessary for us loyal americans to shed our blood just like every other in the defense and love of our country. fairness will demand that it be restored. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. the gentleman from florida, mr. webster, is recognized. the gentleman reserves. the gentleman

. >> you pmentioned guam and japan. speaking generally over the next few years, how much of the think things will shift? will it look a lot different from the past couple of decades? or are we talking about modifying around the edges? >> we have been looking at this with our allies for some time for a number of years. we are in discussion. nothing stays the same in the security environment. basically we have taken a look at making sure that our posture is operationally relevant. it has to be resilient enough for us to be able to support the top operations that we do. it has to be sustainable. in has to be politically sustainable. you cannot deny that any one of them are important. take a look at our force posture in northeast asia. it has a historic basis to it. there are some changes we need to go president obama with. we have an agreement with our allies were those -- there are some changes we need to go forward with. we have an agreement with our allies. we have a world globalization where we have a massive amount of
