>>> next on "this week in defense news," an exclusive interview with the pentagon comptroller bob hale >>> welcome to "this week in defense news," i'm vago muradian. earlier this month the obama administration submitted to congress its 2013 defense spending request that includes $525 billion for the base budget and an additional $88 billion to fund operations in afghanistan and elsewhere. highlights include cutting more than 100,000 troops, cutting the global hawk -- unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and the c27j transport, delaying a new submarine and paring back on other procurement efforts. the administration argues its way is the best way to cut defense spending by $480 billion as passed by the budget control act by congress last year. the reaction from house republicans has been blistering, jeopardizing national security. here to talk about the defense budget is the man who played an instrumental role in putting it all together, bob hale, the undersecretary of defense, comptroller, sir, welcome back to the show. >> thank you for the chance to be here. >> so let's start out, when yo

hale. >> we need to arrive at -- >> we need to arrive at an agreement with japan. >> the gentlelady's time has expired. could you take that one for the record for her, please? >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. turner. >> thank you for being here. >> secretary panetta, i want so thank you for meeting with congressman andrews where we discussed the issue of a national standard for custody rights for our service members. we asked you to confirm secretary gate's and dod's policy supporting a national standard. unbelievably across the country, there are federal law court judges that will take custody away from service members based on their time away serving our country. this committee members has been active on this issue, every committee having endorsed the national standard. we would appreciate your support and advocacy to assist us in making that law. >>> sexdly -- secondly i appreciate your statement on the budget control act and the issues of sequestration. as we look to sequestration, i thi

hale, thank you very much for joining us today. i want to go back to some of the statements you made about this effort of budget reductions driven by strategy and ask you this. i know that part of that strategy is an increased operational capability and presence in both the middle east and the asia-pacific. within that context, we're looking now about an additional ssn being moved outside the fit-up. and we know in that particular theater, especially the asia-pacific, the ssn is a very, very frequently utilized asset. also, we're going to be pushing the ssbn next few years down the road. so it's not going to be operational or deployability until at least the 2020s, and we'll have a significant period of time where we have a reduced number of ballistic submarines in a time when we know it's a critical deterrent to our triad. looking where we are reemphasizing our efforts, that seems to be counter to that. and i would ask this. with that in mind, have we looked at and can you tell me from the perspective of china, you tell me how man

and he didn't like hale either i'm sorry nixon. yeah i didn't i didn't want to lay that on poor david hume's tombstone. but matthew hale was a jurist and he came up with a doctrine about that involve the question of sexual consent in a marriage and the doctrine that he formulated and it proved to be extraordinarily influential and as you said lost it for many centuries was that essentially when a woman consents to marry a man and she has to consent to that it's very important that she does consent to that that she's essentially consenting to give him sexual access to her body not just at that very moment but for the for the perpetuity of their marriage and this became a notion of basically it was called implicit consent so that throughout a marriage if a husband or a man ever wanted to have sex with his wife he essentially did not have to get her say so he could have it and therefore if he raped her by definition it wasn't rape because she had given her consent at the moment when she consented to be married and what's you know what

bob hale and your team, the ripples that your comments have made and the

hale, your accessibility to members of the committee and congress. it is refreshing. you've been the most accessible leaders of the defense department i've ever encountered and i'm very grateful for that. i also want to thank you, mr. secretary, for your comment on page 3 of your written testimony about the personal attention you put on audit readiness for the department. my friend and colleague mr. conway has taken the lead on this issue. he wrote it into law and has led a panel to try to achieve that reality. all the discussions we've had and in the next couple of mondays may be based on false data if we don't have good financial statements. this is a boring topic but critical to the hard financial choices we have in front of us. i thank you for your very personal investment in that issue. i did want to get to the more controversial question now.

. >> i'm going to start with undersecretary hale. i don't know if he's gotten too many questions today, but first to thank him on working with us on insuring that cfos around government have the understanding they deserve and conversations with me in that regard and insuring that the legislation is confirmed individuals in their various departments and agencies, including d.o.d. auditing, as we begin this downsizing, it seems to me the most critical thing so to make sure we're doing it right. whether it's the first $487 billion. or whether we have to go to something beyond that. i'm concerned we don't have the kind of sound auditing we'd like to in the department. can you give us the status of that and what you're doing to accelerate the auditing of d.o.d. considering the huge sacrifices that d.o.d. is being asked it make. >> we have a plan we set up a couple of years ago to move towards auditable statements in a cost-effective manner. focusing first on the information the department most uses to manage. particularly budgetary inform

earlier this week, general managers harrington and hale were invited to talk with cpuc commissioner simon. it was a meet and greet. they talked about the program and noted that one of the steps for being able to launch is the cpuc to take action on that. that message was delivered. we are trying all the different tools to keep getting it to move forward, although unfortunately i do not have any news to report on that matter. that is what i generally have for a report, but i am happy to answer any questions you might have. chairperson campos: any questions for mr. campbell? if i may follow up on a couple of things -- on the issue of the opt out rates, i think it is good you are doing some follow- up additional work on that. i think we should get to as clear a number as we can. i think the rate will be lower than what we have discussed. i think it is good that we are doing what we are doing. my hope -- i do not know if that is a possibility, that we can have a clear idea of what that number will be by the time we meet again as a commission. i do not know if that is possible. >> we can defin

thank you, chairman, secretary hale. secretary, excuse me, chairman dempsey, i have great respect for you and your service to the country and the important role that you play, but i have to ask you about the interview that you gave with cnn because i need to understand. when you were asked about what we were counseling our is really partners with respect to iran and you said you were counseling them not to attack iran and then you also said that he believed the administration believes i assume that the regime is a rational actor can you help me understand why you would have said that particularly in a public interview about one of our closest allies? and i'm really concerned that in doing that then you're sending the wrong signal to iran. can you help me with that? >> you beat senator gramm to the punch line. honestly i want to clear up some things. first of all i didn't council israel not to attack. we had a conversation with them about time, the issue of time canada will require a much larger conversation but on the is

we could have gusty winds and hale associated with them. it may be a severe storm, as well. otherwise, down right windy. the wind comes down by sunday. sunshine, 48. where we should be this time of year. we warmup next week. >> leveling things off. a little bit closer to normal. adam, thank you. thank you for being with us. we want to make sure you watch us at 5:00 to stay up-to-date with the weather on wjla.

barbara hale, assistant to our -- assistant power generation. we have a pretty flat budget without much change from last year. very happy to answer any questions as we go through. so, you see that we have our capital and program changes, where we are reducing our boat, if you will. by $22 million. the recall of assets from water to power reflected here as well, as mr. ritchie described. so, generally an overall modest change. in looking at the authorized positions, similarly pretty flat. look at the changes. not a lot to address their. here is my overall organizational structure. you see, from the boxes of activity, you can see where our operating funds are falling within the organization. you can see where the position loading is. notice the box on the extreme left. energy infrastructure planning and development is where we implement energy efficiency and the renewables project. not a lot of operating budget there for 21 positions, but that is where a large part of our capital program dollars go, with energy efficiency investments, renewables i

we could see some small hale with those storms as they move into tennessee. also the other area of concern, with all the warm weather, heavy rain in the pacific northwest, we have major flooding problems on some of the rivers in washington state. the heavy rain threat has shifted south. the snow levels are so incredibly high that it's raining where there's a deep snow pack. with the melting of that water and the rain, we have a spring like weather problem in the northwest with the river flooding. here's the high temperatures. we'll be in the low 60s from the carolinas into virginia. we'll be in the mid 50s even in boston with partly cloudy skies. it won't even be completely sunny. dallas today, lynn, 76 degrees. >> nice. >> incredible stuff. >> bill, thaungs so much. >>> the dow soares. netflix has a rivalries. the feds consumer watchdog has your back. >>> just call him crooner in chief. coming up, president obama since the blues. >> coming up, a pair of big upsets in college basketball but was kentucky one of them. you're watching "first look" on msnbc.

thank you secretary hale for yours as well -- >> mr. chairman, may i thank the witnesses also for your testimony and for your service to your country, we know that larger cuts already, are working diligently to achieve those in the most effective way that other departments have been asked to a chief. many have been asked to achieve not any cut s zero, that is important it is. with regard to the chart that you were showing, that is dollars not adjusted for inflation, if we continued -- you would not see a growth, i think the relative growth pattern that you showed in that chart is probably accurate. youed a justed it for inflation and energy costs go up, material costs go up. somewhat over the years so i think the sequester represents a greater threat than we would like to admit, and the way to fix it is not to give up the reduction reductions but to look at the other aspects of the government, as senator gram mentioned. we need to make sure that our men and women in uniform know we believe this them and we are not breaking faith with th
