congress will approve funding from the pacific to guam. this is part of realignment of u.s. forces in japan. the house and senate armed services committees held a conference on the national defense authorization act for fiscal 2013. the committees approved a budget of $26 million for the marine's transfer. the bill is likely to be enacted later this week through votes in the house and senate sessions. congress froze funding in the previous fiscal year, citing a lack of progress and relocating the futenma air station in okinawa. japanese and u.s. officials earlier this year agreed to proceed with the transfer separating it from the futenma relocation issue. the u.s. military plans to transfer 9,000 marines to guam, hawaii, australia, and elsewhere. >>> researchers at a thinktank for japan's defense ministry are warning that the chinese navy may start getting active near the disputed senkaku islands. japan controls the islands in the east china sea. china and taiwan claim the islands. the national institute for defense studies released a report on china's security policy, focu

it just got back from its asian humanitarian assistance from guam, indonesia, vietnam, an amazing number of nations we're partnering with. those hospital ships with 1,000 beds, 12 operating rooms, they produce their own medical oxygen, they have ct scanners and they can do almost anything a hospital on the west coast can do and we can park them offshore as we did in haiti and in haiti they spent the first 72 hours once they got on scene doing nothing but repairing crush injuries and restoring life. that's the capacity we have. i like to think in our partnership with the maritime services and the coast guard and our reserve forces, i like to think of us as america's or the world's 911 when something bad, either man-made or natural happens, some catastrophe happens in the world, often times the ambassador will pick up the phone and dial 911 and the navy marine corps team answers the phone. it is our those, it is our dna it is our ability to be there. if you look at the communicate dapbt's 3 central tenets of what he believes it importance, readiness is in there. the ability to move and go

i also have a homeland defense requirement for guam and for the marianas and other states in the, in that part of the world. but i also have a supporting role to insure that homeland defense should at some point in time there be a nation that decided to attack the homeland with a ballistic missile that i'm positioned to be able to support my other commanders, northern command, strategic command to be able to influence that in a way that we control the outcome of it. >> what is the likely u.s. response, um, given that north korea will likely launch a missile in the next few weeks? >> well, you'd have to refer -- i'd refer you to the state department or to osd on that. that's not my lane, to see what that response would be. >> so we're monitoring the situation very closely? >> very closely. >> thanks a lot. if you've got any closing comments to wrap up? >> only that i appreciate all of you taking the time to come and do this. the asia pacific is, is a very complex region, but i believe that if we work this right, that we can continue to provide, to have a productive, generally-secure e

this is a threat to guam, hawaii and alaskan it's something that we in the united states need to takey, very seriously. jaime: i hear the concern in your voice. i want to ask you one other thing about africa and the al-qaida threat that exists in many nations in that part of the world and the fact that the pentagon is now taking a closer look at it, possibly even sending a brigade there to get their troops up to snuff, although that could be a real challenge. >> yeah, well these are called regionally aligned brigades. this is the second brigade of the first infantry division. it's the first in a step of a series of initiatives the army is taking to avoid what happened to us in the early days of iraq where we didn't have the cultural awareness and the cultural knowledges that we needed going into a counterinsurgency environment. this bra cade is focused on africa, which as you know, jaime, is probably the next region to be influenced by al-qaida in places like the sudan, nigeria, places like that. remember terrorists always fill a political void and the greatest political void today, a

what that means is they have the ability to build an icbm that could reach the western united states, guamourse, alaska. what they haven't done yet is demonstrate the ability to tip it with a nuclear weapon. look, the payload in this rocket was about 100 kilograms, about 220 pounds. at their stage of nuclear developments, they would -- could miniaturize a nuclear weapon down to it, but they would need to miniaturize it down to about a ton, about 1500-2000 pounds and lift that into orbit. right now they're a long way from that, but that's not the point. jenna, it's now an engineering problem for north korea and not a scientific and technical problem, and that poses a real risk to the united states. jenna: so you say they're not there yet, but again, that's not the point. >> right. jenna: so what do we do about it, general scales? >> yeah, there are a couple of things. the first thing that i think we must do is expand our psychological operations campaign against the north. we tried this about 10, 15 years ago, it was effective, and it was stopped. look -- jenna: what is that, psychological

he's over australia and guam at this hour.the kids are wondering? >> sure. we can project that. of course, there will be changes enroute. santa is a little unpredictable, but we know for sure he's going to get the mission done. we expect he'll be over the east coast starting at about 9:00 p.m. this evening and he'll be over the united states in general between 9 and midnight tonight. >> clayton: i understand, i was looking at some history of this and how norad got started tracking santa. am i right in my history that this all started with someone scrolled down the wrong phone number for people to get information, they ended up calling norad instead of where they should have been calling? is that right? >> it was destiny, you're exactly right. it was poorly transdescribed number on an ad in the newspaper in colorado springses. a young child thought she was calling to hear about santa. she got norad and norad turned to their radar scopes and picked up the mission and we've been doing it ever since. >> clayton: what about any bad

i also have a homeland defense requirement for guam and for the marianas and other states in that part of the world. but also have a supporting role to ensure that homeland defense should at some point in time, there'd be a nation that decided, attack the homeland with a ballistic missile, but i'm in a position to be able to support my other commanders, northern command, strategic command to influence that any way that we control the outcome of it. >> we will leave this briefing at this point to take you to live coverage of the u.s. senate. we want to apologize for the camera angle we had to cover the briefing. problem with a camera at the pentagon. sorry about that. you can watch the briefing began at a website. go to c-span.org. the u.s. senate coming into session. the house recessed until next week. senators continued debate today on normalizing trade relations with russia. a vote expected shortly after noon today. and not to live coverage of the u.s. senate here on c-span2. the chaplain, dr. barry black, will lead the senate in prayer. the chaplain: let us pray. god of wonder, beyo

if there is a crisis, it is the majority's guam butt of preventing -- gambit of preventing motions and filing hundreds of cloture motions to prevent debate. the second point is the unprecedented tactic threatened by the majority to limit debate even more will only further undermine the integrity of this body. some pushing in this direction have never served in the minority but all senators should be alarmed by this prospect. the majority has talked about changing senate rules to eliminate the opportunity to filibuster motions to proceed. this opportunity has been available to senators since at least 1949, and as i've mentioned, the majority leader himself repeatedly seized that opportunity when he was in the minority. i do not believe the cloture rules need to be changed. i do believe, however, that if the senate is to consider a change, it should follow the process laid out in our rules. that process exists for a reason. it is the process we've used to change rules in the past and there is no reason other than a raw power grab to do it any other way. senate rules specify that ending d

palau is a strategic ally of ours in the western pacific near guam and the philippines and indonesia. last year our defense department wrote "failure to follow through on our commitments to palau as reflected in the proposed agreement would jeopardize our defense posture in the western pacific." it's important that the u.s. demonstrate its reliability as a strategic partner in the pacific by approving this 2010 agreement with palau and meeting our commitments. i urge my colleagues to support the amendment. the presiding officer: who yields time in opposition? mr. bingaman: i'm happy to see the matter dealt with a voice vote. ms. mikulski: i move the amendment be adopted by voice. the presiding officer: if there is no further debate on the amendment, all those -- mr. cochran: the senator from mississippi. mr. sessions: i object to the voice vote. i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be. mr. sessions: on -- to speak on this remaining? the presiding officer: there is 30 seconds remaining in opposition. mr. sessions: madam pres
