missouri senator claire mccaskill is with us.oing to solve all of our problems. but it solved the major problem, and that is this town has been incapable of compromise and negotiation for months on end. so i think the shutdown when the house republicans caused the shutdown a few months ago, i think there were such political ramifications everyone all of a sudden straightened their shoulders and said we've got to get in a room and do our jobs and be reasonable. >> so many people going to the funeral and nelson mandela will not get in the way? >> i don't think so. while there are many that are going, i think most of the work will be at the end of the week and i think people will have an opportunity to return and we can get our stuff done. >> you're on the armed surveillances committee. we heard the defense secretary hagel tell cbs news it is a very real possibility that because the u.s. and afghanistan did not reach a deal that all u.s. troops could pull out. >> well we cannot have our men and women on the ground when they are not

we had the mccaskill bill -- i'm sorry, the amendments. we didn't get a chance to talk about those, but we actually have 27 specific reforms to support victims and encourage sexual assault reporting expanding and so forth. so we have done a lot, and i don't think anyone could argue that we would in any way be better off not to have an authorization bill or to just lump it together and put it on a clean c.r. that's not any way to do business. it doesn't accomplish any of the things that i just mentioned and the chairman just mentioned as progress in this bill. so with that, i'm happy to join the chairman of the committee in a bipartisan way to help to try to defend america. the first thing we need to do with this is to pass our negotiation -- negotiated bill. i yield the floor. mr. mccain: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from arizona. mr. mccain: mr. president, i ask unanimous consent to engage in colloquy with the chairman and ranking member, if necessary. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. mccain: as we discus

an amendment no one objected to unlike the july brent --gilli --gillibrand and mccaskill amendments, that and the subject was addressed in both bills in terms of sexual assault even though article 32 languages not limited to sexual assault it is limited to the use of that procedure for discovery which creates unfair problems for people who are victims or the complainants so we were able to get an agreement that we should address that but we could not get agreement that we would address either the gillibrand or mccaskill amendments but they are free standing bills. i talked to senator harry reid and so has senator gillibrand and senator mccaskill because all of us want to vote on those matters even though in these bills there are major improvements in the area of sexual assault for instance, will give you some of them again. one of them is retaliation is the crime. threat of retaliation is one of the reasons they do not report. the insults or improper context for sexual behavior. we make in this bill that will be introduced in the next couple days and the senate retaliation is a crime

the mccaskill proposal is far more moderate.keep commanders in that decision-making role but it would provide kind of a safe guard which would be that if they decided not to prosecute a sexual assault case, it could get sort of sent over to a civilian panel for review. >> do we have any idea, sabrina, how likely it is one of these two ideas will actually get passed and implemented in the military? >> i think it's very likely one or the other is going to be passed. it will be very interesting to see which one winds up getting passed. the jillibrand amendment has the backing of most veterans organizations and a lot of prominent democrats. it has, in fact, bi-partisan support. and on the other proposal, the mccaskill proposal, they have the support of the military leadership, the armed services committee, and so i do believe that one or the other will be passed. it will be interesting to see how far the military is really willing to go to implement change. >> since this whole issue blew up and got so much attention and a lot of peo

but then you start to look back on the mccaskill race and you wonder if that's a possibility.re are strange races that you are loathe to predict right now. >> in the past two election cycles, republicans felt really confident and democrats were really worried, and it turned out republicans couldn't seal the deal. >> they have a couple problems right now on the primary side, kansas, mississippi, a couple places where they have members who are being primaried and they have very serious challenges. these are older members, they have not had to run a real race in some cases decades and they are looking at somebody who is really coming at them. that will be a fascinating thing. >> the thing i will look for is the obama years have been basically a tale of two electorates. in the presidential years, '08 and '12, big outpouring of new voters, nonwhite voters that he brought into the system. those voters did not show up in 2010. can the obama machine that helped him win re-election, can he overcome the normal advantage that republicans will have in a midterm and get some of the new vot

both senator gillibrand and senator mccaskill had amendments, and we have bits out of each one of those amendments that they had. at least they are both better off than they were before. but without this, we got nothing, no changes at all. so we have made great progress in this bill in the sexual assault as well as i mentioned gitmo, too, which is a very controversial issue. mr. mccain: would the senator agree that even though there is a significant difference between senator gillibrand and senator mccaskill, they were in agreement with the many provisions that you just pointed out which, whether we address their disagreements or not, they would both agree that these are very important measures that they both agree on, that the entire committee agreed on in addressing this issue of sexual assaults in the military. mr. inhofe: that's exactly right. as you point out, they were apart on a lot of issues, but what we did was take those areas that will improve the situation and adopt them, and they are in this bill, a part of this bill, and so the whole issue of sexual harassment will not be

brothers in july brand and then also one by senator claire mccaskill those amendments were not implemented as far as i understand but there were some other measures can you talk about that's great. bill would basically take the prosecution of sexual assault away from military commanders so normally sexual assault is prosecuted the courts as it should be with a civilian jury. but in the military there are special laws that allow the commander to weigh in and a lot of victims of sexual abuse it's not fair the commander may be friends with the perpetrator and a lot of sexual saltsman punished so they didn't get that bill through the senate brad will propose it next year they did however achieve significant half measures for example if a jury convict someone of sexual assault it can be overruled by the military commander that person must go the perpetrator must be dishonorably discharged and the victim can get independent counsel and cases that are not brought are reviewed by a civilian review board to make sure that there should be brought other things that you can't retaliate against a victi

have to have a class to teach how to talk to women tweeted democratic senator and also woman claire mccaskillt a much bigger problem than the class is going to solve. republicans' problems with women voters have been a huge electoral sore spot. most recently demonstrated in virginia where democrat terry mcauliffe won women voters by 9 points. and since president obama carried women voters by 11 points in last year's presidential election, since then just 14% of women say the republican party has moved closer to their perspective. now, they're not doing much to change their policy agenda which is actually most responsible for the gap in women voters. instead, republicans keep trying to repackage, repurpose themselves and shocker, they're doing it badly. last year there was this last-minute move by house republicans to name representative candace miller to chair the house administration committee which came after weeks of criticism of boehner for filling every one of the committee chair posts with white men. and more recently, this amazing photo from the government shutdown that shows eight whi

i happen to have a good amendment, with senator claire mccaskill, democrat from missouri, and senator kelly ayotte, a republican from new hampshire, that we believe makes the provisions in our committee bill dealing with sexual assault even better, even stronger, that will protect victims. and we are not allowed to have that amendment. again, that's just -- that's just a foreign concept to me. as a senator, not being allowed to have an amendment on a bill that should have been brought up on the floor months ago, months ago. so we could have had a debate on this truly number-one priority of our country, and instead we have crisis management. now, i don't know about you, senator johanns, but i don't respond well to crisis management. i like to have time to make wise decisions, to make measured decisions, to gather information, to represent our constituents, to represent the american people. the american people demand more. they demand us to be better. i can't even imagine what folks think when they know we're here speaking to an empty chamber. when we should be talking about the big iss

in terms of the two amendments that the senator, i think, is referring to, senator mccaskill's and senator gillibrand's amendment there was about a day long debate on that and an effort to vote on them, and i think everybody wanted to vote on those two amendments but there was objection to it. in terms of what the senator i believe is driving at also is that there was a time, i think it was the 2011 or 2012 defense authorization bill where in fact we adopted the bill by unanimous consent. i think there was no debate on the bill that was finally adopted. having said that, i happen to agree that this is not the ideal way to adopt a defense bill. i have said that over and over again, and i've pointed out that the way in which we tried to at least get some amendments adopted, including about 30 that have been agreed to, have been cleared, that we couldn't even get those added. with senator inhofe's help, we were able to get much of the material in those amendments that were worked out between us and the house leaders so that they are in this bill. not all the amendments that have been cleared,

claire mccaskill is another one.ebacle disasters put their foot in their mouth and lose seats they should have won, delaware being a very good example, nevada, missouri, i could keep going, indiana. time and time again republicans keep nominating people that they should not nominate. at the end of the day it's always a contest between two candidates if you're not running in a vacuum. and that contest usually benefits democrats because republicans end up going way too extreme and nominating people that the majority of voters just can't get behind. >> if you even want to put yourself through any of that and be a candidate, that will be interesting to see who steps forward. >> right. >> guy, if the deficit is something that americans will look at, new taxes as a result of obamacare, lack of jobs, not meeting the number that we need in order to overcome the recession that we were in, there are so many numbers for voters to look at, and obamacare may effect some but not everyone, what will republicans do? what will they t

collins, mccaskill, and high can't say we -- and heitkamp refer to one where there is a lengthy security clearance. i wanted to ask also, mr. lewis, what steps have we taken -- i'm sorry, i meant to call you general patterson -- i apologize -- general patterson, what the uc as we look at this whole see ason -- what do you we look at this whole situation at the navy yard that you are already implementing to make sure we do not find ourselves in the same situation? you are reviewing the situation and understanding what steps you are taking in a positive action that you can talk about here. >> yes. within the federal protective services we are working closely with our federal partners to look at processes and procedures for folks coming and going into federal buildings. we are also looking at our communications processes as well. one of the challenges during the navy yard was the fact that so ,any of the responding agencies the level of communication and how you do that, so we are looking aggressively at how we do that, not just in the washington, d.c., area, but across the united states be
