>> my question is to you, miss carolyn lerner.t seems to me in the great tide of government waste, fraud, and abuse, a big slices in the united states military. my question to you is what is your office planning on doing to expand your presence into the military, and i am not talking about acquisitions. that is bad and off. i'm talking about the day-to-day operations of the military, getting stories like your own, and dealing with the exploding costs of day-to-day operations in the pentagon. >> that is a great question. the department of defense, obviously has an active office of inspector general, and we have already been in touch with folks in that office, and hope to work closely with them. to the extent that our office is limited in terms of what we can investigate, we cannot just go after the department of defense. if we need to have a specific complaint, a specific disclosure. so, in order to do an investigation, where to -- or to bring the attention of a problem to an agency head, we have to be on the receiving end. so, to

most successful entrepreneur in that industry in the world it has been possible to bring dr richard lerner who is the president of scripts in research institute which is also doubtless the most successful of its kind with vast experience in building enterprises that combine academic and commercial activity so i think we have. any example of those people and others the best that we could hope for in the way of advice to god because of you driven your celebrity i think these people are better than able. to offer useful advice on the project here but even years i have read it in the press that there did russian press that last summer even you had some troubles getting the russian these are that is. true that was a mistake and even a mistake i never i never i don't know where that came from mistaken the person was thinking they would be that mistaken the president is our i never i had and i and they may have thought that i had already applied for a visit into submission of this visit and i hadn't done so i threw the reverse is true when the date for this meeting was finally settled and with my

word let me let me know lerner is wonderful live through this has been really bad for the workplace i think because they also found that basically by sitting all the time you would die faster yes or no your colleagues are killing you your chair is killing you also here in d.c. i'm pretty sure that the complete culture on alcohol which i mean none of us have anything going around that you know i'm pretty sure just since being in d.c. i've lost at least ten years just in five years of actually living here so aren't working for you unfortunately you know you just can't win because it's you can't get a job unemployment is a huge problem then you get a job that actually just killing him slowly michael. how do we do broken. so we were speaking of presidential elections earlier obviously i was going crazy over i was like i said i saw her standing obsession with i love her because her son america but let's talk about some of the candidates here rick santorum does not believe in gay marriage but this is the way that he was trying to explain to people why he doesn't believe in gay marriage whic

we had carolyn lerner as the new director. susan as the chair is also promising.re is legislation pending that is and anti-leak, pro- taxpayer enhancement act. it was introduced this year in the senate. it would close many of these loopholes that been created by the spackled decisions. it would expand -- created by these backhole decisions. it would expand protection for baggage screeners at airports and give specific protection for federal scientists. it would allow for normal access to courts. all of the private sector laws that we have had since 2002 -- those of 11 statutes allow for jury trials. a row employees who blow the whistle have been denied jury trials. the bill would allow for someone to have access to jury trials. we think is an appalling thing when the administrative process fails. it has improvements for the office of special counsel. it does everything we have been seeking. is it all we hoped it could be? no. it is a good down payment and it will go a long way to approve the circumstances of whistleblowers today. this bill passed unanimously in th
