15 marines, one sailor perished.i would like us to keep their families in our thoughts and prayers as we conduct our business today. thank you, mr. chairman, members of this committee. 36 years ago to the month, i was driving in california. my trustee steed at that time was a beige 1968vw bug that carried me out of the gates for the last times aended a tour with squadron 161. headed to the pacific coast highway, i could tell you that the thought of me sitting before this group being considered as secretary of the navy was not to be found even in the most remote parts of my mind. however, during those 36 years, i was educated in financial and operational management, increasing as scopes aprogressed through my career. the leadership skills developed in the marine corp continued to grow. i was respectful of industrial science. the journey has, i believe, provided me with the knowledge and the skill set to tackle the issues at hand. it truly is a great honor for me to appear before you to seek the confirmation as secreta

the impact on the lives of our sailors and marines. i find comfort and excitement on the fact that everyone is leaning in on this issue. there is a lot of heavy lifting that has to be done. there is a lot of cheese moving that has to be done. we have to address capabilities. we have to streamline the process, and i believe that is the one on the issue. my priorities, they are people, capabilities, and process to address these and provide, and apply the resources we have for the down payment on readiness and move forward into building out the fleet. senator mccain: on the third one, the process, probably the greatest source of frustration to members of this committee on both sides. a few years ago in 2013, i asked a former chief of naval operations who was responsible for the $2 billion cost overrun on the uss gerald r. ford. he said he did not know. i asked a former chief of staff about the f-35 cost overruns. he did not think anybody had been fired. what are you going to do about this now? two years in a row now, we have held people a

even when marin cilic got his serve in, there was federer. set down already. what now, what next? 3—0 down in the second set, marin cilic seemed deeply troubled. whether physical or emotional, for a moment or two we wondered whether he would continue. marin cilic baton, but federer breezed through the second set. whatever your view, it is only fun to watch if it is a match and that depended on marin cilic digging in. in the third set, there were signs of that, and the crowd appreciated. marin cilic had treatment on his blistered foot, it did not help, but the key factor was federer. federer has won each titles, in the final marin cilic 18 games. so he took the trophy on its familiarto, he so he took the trophy on its familiar to, he knows the way by now. they will be waiting beneath the balcony. as we watch roger federer back at the summit, let's rememberjust last year he had months away from tennis. it was knee injuries, surgery, recovery, it was knee injuries, surgery, recovery , we we re it was knee injuries, surgery, recovery, we were con

at the moment, marin cilic looks like he has no answer. court. we're not sure if he can muster any threat from here on. it isa from here on. it is a grim prospect if this match between two such dark performance redound as a result of injury. —— such star performers should end. it would be a bit of a downer. it would be the first retirement by a player during the finalfor over be the first retirement by a player during the final for over a century. yes, edward. and definitely not what we're expecting today. marin cilic and roger federer met each other in the quarterfinal last year. cilic took the first two sets and that went five sets. roger federer one—eyed. we expected this to be a close match indeed. it has not materialised at this point. roger federer playing so well this year and he is yet to drop a set in his six matches so far. and obviously he w011 six matches so far. and obviously he won the first two today. very heavily the favourite. cilic is still out fighting. he has been victorious in a grand slam before and beat roger federer

yesterday -- 15 marines and sailors yesterday. i appreciate your comments on the need to keep a robust industrial base active in order to achieve the 355 ship navy. we have to have consistent workflow through our navy yards. there are many others around the country who are facing the same situation. let me ask you one question about testimony that admiral lesher gave to the committee two weeks ago, i believe. we must increase our procurement of helicopters like the seahawk to meet the needs of a larger presence. do you share this view? can you tell the committee if you are confirmed that he will take a close look at our helicopter structure? i know helicopters are of particular interest to you. mr. spencer: senator, i will commit because we have to look at all resources necessary to fight the wars, yes. sen. strange: thank you very much. i would like to thank you the best in the time i have as you take on this physical position. assuming your confirmation. your previous comments on sequestration budget caps, i share the concern of

we don't have confirmation that this is marine one. we have seen a lot of helicopters come to where air force one is right now in hamburg, germany. with support staff. we've seen them get off the various helicopters, they clearly did not look like marine one. as you can see, there's a whole different look to this particular chopper. of course, they have several choppers that look similar to marine one. part of it is for security reasons and part of it is because there's so many people that went with the president on this particular trip. we'll keep that picture up while we talk about other things, but there is a look at air force one, as you can see, people loading in the back. again, a lot of that is the support staff travelling with the president. well, it's not just what trump is doing in europe to create u.s. jobs. my next guest says it's also what he's not doing back home that keep jobs coming. we bring with us now, former heinz ceo bill johnson. bill, it's fair to say that when you look at what the president did in saudi arabia,

it is called marine one. no more so than at norfolk which is the home of one of the biggest naval operations in the world. perhaps the biggest. general, one thing as we're talking about cost, the president now i assume has landed on the deck of the gerald ford. we're talking about costs, and you in particular, a lot of times bureaucracies have a way of just building on top of themselves. and the pentagon is a bureaucracy. it may be more efficient, more vital bureaucracy than any others but it is a bureaucracy. you yourself have been critical of some of their spending -- that may be marine one. it is usually the last helicopter to arrive as a couple of helicopters with support staff arrived before. does this bureaucracy of the pentagon itself need to be -- are they spending money in the wrong places perhaps in perpetuating their bureaucracy instead of building beautiful ships like this? >> what the united states military does very well at and the american people see it all the time is we know how to fight and

this marine unit pulls back after a week. marines are leaving, but this is only supposed to be a short mission. they come, they go, they come back again. each time hoping the afghan security forces they leave behind them to do their job, to hold the taliban back. the question is with only 300 here, the marines this time, what has changed? >> that is the question. nicking, thank you for going there and getting the story. we are waiting for the white house to give the latest iteration of strategy in afghanistan, a place with good reason known as the graveyard of empires. on the ground do you believe anything has changed that offers new opportunity? >> reporter: sadly, not at this stage. the options ahead of president trump, none of them are particularly new or sparkly. they could send many more troops in. the obama administration tried that. it didn't radically reduce violence and couldn't last forever. they want to talk to the taliban. frankly, the taliban at this point seem to be winning to some degree. the leader is radical

this marine just died in the last month. he encouraged me to tell the stories and his wife shared with me some things he had written including something 10 or a dozen years ago when he was writing a diary in sharp detail about this young marine that had been killed on that ambush in that day. he didn't forget. i tell the story of a young massachusetts man who joined the army. he was drafted coming out of boston college and talked to somebody at the army recruiting office to ask what his options were, you are a college graduate, you can apply to ocs and be an officer. he said why what i want to do that? i would have to serve for two more years. the recruiting sergeant that i will tell you why. you could either be inside the officers club drinking a cold martini or you could be outside the officers club walking on guard duty for those who are inside drinking a cold martini. what would you rather do? he decided he would be an officer. i don't know if he ever had a cold martini in vietnam. i don't so. i know he had warm beer tha
