a mission we've best, that's why the german worship that we were on is, is part of this mission. and the other countries are also contributing different kinds of, of ships and in airplanes to, to monitor the baltic sea. and this mission is going to be coordinated by a also a relatively new task force that is based in nicole stuck in northern germany from the city from which we set sail on the worship month to book. and the important aim of this mission is to gather, to gather and share among allies, a big amount of data concerning c routes concerning important traffic junctions in the baltic sea, but also monitoring any suspicious activity. it could be ships that aren't signaling their presence. it could be ships that are taking a curious route to zig zagging in the sea, and these are all things that the allies are going to share and try to paint the picture of what exactly is going on in the baltic sea and body. what on board the ship did the crew notice any suspicious activity in the water? as you know? so i, in my colleague hanging onto a film, those a nice pictures that we sa

they want to stay and support the mission. we are not going to pay the way google pays, that's fine, because we offer other things. but we have to offer a fair compensation package to make things work. the last piece is focusing on the employee experience. all of these new employees need to learn about us, about what we do and why it is important, about the kinds of missions we support and the kinds of opportunities they have to build a career in our environment. we have put a huge effort on teaching people about the mission and being much more purposeful and how we talk about our work, and engage with all of these new employees so that from early in their career, they really feel a part of the work we do and they understand this bigger picture of what we are trying to accomplish. mr. longenecker: thank you. tom? mr. mason: our focus has been shifting away from the rapid growth that we experienced and the addition of new staff to more attention and development of the staff that we have. our peak hiring year was 2023. we hired

that is the objective of the mission -- a mission that we will continue to support., we must understand that the mission needs to be broadened for it to be able to eliminate these gangs. if that can be achieved, we need to discuss the future of haiti -- the opportunity they have to become a place where so many industries that are located today, now that there are continents like manufacturing and textiles, those that already exist, could be expanded. they could reach more people. they could give rise to jobs. they could be an investment opportunity. but that is impossible if there is no security. so the first issue to tackle is the violence and insecurity because we see this large territory ruled by gangs. as you know, as a senator, i worked on hope help. i was one of the sponsors of that draft bill. now another senator is working on that. the idea is to continue with that law so that those opportunities can be there for haiti and its future. it's an issue of great importance. it's a matter you cannot ignore and you haven't ignored. finally, i'd like to say that the

i want to hear from the folks on this border mission, what is your mission. are you being utilized. it adds to readiness and doing a real world mission and how does it affect those aspects. i think we have seen it already in the recruiting numbers. we have seen an enthusiasm and excitement from young men and women who want to join the military actively because they are interested in being a part of the finest fighting force that the world has to offer and not doing a lot of other things that divide or distract. it's about readiness and focus. you have seen it from the executive orders that the president has issued. there can be confusion about that. but from our perspective, why you got rid of something like d.e.i., because from our perspective it has served the purpose of twieding the force as opposed to uniting the force. and i have said it quite publicly and i want to be transparent with this building and everyone who serves hearsay the same thing that we say in public. i think the single dumbest phrase in military history is our diversity is our strength. i think our strength is

as far as our mission, you have to explain to folks. i was at a student activity at the university of tennessee, a student came up to me and said we like you but we don't like your mission and i said expand more. they said the oppenheimer movie. i said ok, explain more. their perception was the movie ended with the dilemma on the use of nuclear weapons. the ethical dilemma. what we are about is deterrence. we do not ever want to be in a position where someone uses a nuclear weapon on us, or where we are in a situation where we might have to use a nuclear weapon. we do what we do because it is the foundation of our nation's security and i know you will hear from general cotton on wednesday. he is a big advocate for this is essential. what we do is foundational to our nations security and i think it is helping people understand that, that it is not that we are a bunch of folks who are planning to go out and use nuclear weapons easily, we are about nuclear deterrence. dj: thank you. in the last two minutes, i will give you an opportunity t

and coast guard's primary missions. right now for this incident remain to ensure the safety of the public and first responders. and we will do that by ensuring no one is in this security zone excuse me, in the safety zone. like i say, we have about 200 personnel in addition to those vessels that's on the waterway to include active duty civilian and auxiliary coast guard personnel. that's all involved to make sure we can support our partners in this effort as we aid in the recovery and salvage efforts. and like i say, we just want to support the national transportation safety board, the army corps engineers and and navy supervisor of salvage to ensure we we clear the wreckage and recover everyone involved in this incident. any questions? i'll stand by and pass back over to captain john daly. so now we're going to take some questions. i'll start over here and work my way across 1 to 3. just wondering if you attended the memorial. so so i did not attend that. we did not have a this is a family event and it is something sma

but to be on one team together, achieving our nation's mission. [applause] there is more. nnsa also reached two major benchmarks related to plutonium activities. the first was the completion of our reserve rigs up tens of -- for the life extension program. the second was the production of the first diamond stamped plutonium pet, another accomplishment that took the enterprise working together. next i would like to touch on updates to nnsa infrastructure. tomorrow you will hear more about nnsa's enterprise blueprint, the combatant -- the culmination of a timeline of specialized facilities and capabilities we need to meet our mission deliveries on time over the next 25 years. the enterprise blueprint specifically links stockpile modernization programs with a need for new specialized infrastructure. i want to note that nnsa remains committed to the modernization and recapitalization of our production and scientific infrastructure in parallel with our weapons modernization. our aim is threefold. substantial increase -- introduce modern and efficient t

as we have repeatedly stated that their mission is no longer justified. all the m 23 fighters having dictated a ceasefire. you have to sort of pave the way for dine, no, but most importantly they have side to, to retain concerns. that's and also when coming in, after several days, a fighting between the government forces advocate between the city and the case of the regional, the d. c. it might be to 80 to say debris to in the, to the didn't. because remember, the in between the city essentially is doing this on his own, or it's not even putting out which is not driven altitude combat. so they may lie a say to over optimism. but in the off the flight to urge the static missing in the seats to would vote for. and one can stop thinking of the timing of the c sly. and also we, because present the pull senses to yesterday said, members of the south african national defense force deployed in the region as part of that 2nd mission and missed school. and that's, that's because to station in the east and jesse would only be majority was a ceasefire, has been rele

what is its mission around the world? why does it have such a massive budget and why is there no accountability for what it does around the world? and we heard sen, joey banks, there who was specifically talking about this issue and said, when she is tried in her congressional oversight authority to get an answer from usa id, she was threatened by the organization out there. you ask us questions congresswoman out there you ask questions of this organization? we should do whatever we want. sen. let's just delve into one of those big recipients for a moment. ukraine, because a lot of years lensky says he doesn't know where around a $100000000000.00 of us money at went. where did it go? i'm sure. american taxpayers would like to know. we haven't been in this process of this ukraine war now. almost 3 years. and all this time zalinski hasn't questioned where the money is, because he knows that the united states is dedicated almost $300000000.00 to him. there's almost 300000000000 us back here. dollars that data into your cause

when any military it's about the mission. for me if i'm confirmed the v.a. will be my mission.it would be the mission to take care of her veterans and make sure they get the benefits that they deserve. i'm going to -- i met iraq war veteran.n. i understand burn pits because i slept next one for many months. i understand this generation that went for time and time again in a different way than we've seen many times before in her past wars and the needs that they have. but also being that i think i bring something that is unique to this position almost since it became a cabinet position, the first member of this field house was in and to serve if confirmed by this body which brings a different perspective to my service here. over the years we've all had our body, differences in his body and ranking member i appreciate with differences but we can agree because i have worked across this file to pass major legislation thanks to president trump and this body we passed the first that at giving criminal justice reform in the house. the modernization act which senator cramer mentioned,

be my mission it will be the mission to take care of our veterans make sure they get the benefits theydeserve important to write i understand vern pitts i slept next to one for many months. i understand this generation that went for time and time again deployment after deployment in a different way that we have seen it many times before in our past wars in needs that they have. also being a veteran i also bring something that is unique to this position, since it became a cabinet position with first member of this hill house or senate to serve if confirmed by this body which i think brings a different perspective to my service here because over the years we have all had our differences in this body and i appreciate mentioning we have differences but we can agree i've worked across this aisle to pass major legislation things are president trump in this body we passed the first step active group criminal justice reform with hakeem jeffries in the house modernization exiting center kramer mentioned these are the kind of things that make a big differences when you cross and give good ideas.

there is no other mission. we trust people right-sized this agency and set it back on course, and i am proud to support you. mr. patel: thank you, senator. chair grassley: is there any objection from the committee a request to add certain things to the record? i hear now. so ordered. now we start our second round. three minutes each. i have spoken on this issue many times, i may have even discussed it with you in my office, the fbi's foreign influence task force inappropriately briefed me and senator johnson. that briefing was later used to falsely tie our batted in family investigation into russian disinformation. our investigation was based on records from both the obama and the biden administrations, along with various bank records. over 4 years later, the fbi has yet to provide us the underlying intelligence that they said formed the basis for the briefing. so, if confirmed, i want you to work with me to get to the bottom of what happened here, including providing me and senator johnson with related records

my mission endures forever. my true mission is be a an ambassador of the hope. i found of being a united states senator was the way that i was going to be able to do that. and then that was fine. but that was just a vehicle. writing this book something that i amy and i kind of struggled. i wrote a little bit of the reason why. it was it was a tough undertaking. do in the midst of a senate campaign, some of you have been around politics to know just how demanding that is. but we wanted this to to happen from the campaign. i actually totally segregated the book writing part of my life for my for my campaign life, my political advisers didn't even know that i was starting this project. and when they asked if they could read the manuscript, i told them no, because i wanted this to be pure. i wanted the purpose of this book to be unmarred by politics. and so it's was great that. i get to stand here knowing that i lost a senate race, but that my purpose endures and i hope that you all have a chance to read this book if you find anything redeeming it. i hope that you s

so this particular mission is actually a requirement to do once a year a training missions in general, pilots need to stay current. they need to make sure that they have enough flight time in. and without a mission to be able to keep their skills at the highest level possible. >> these missions right now are being suspended. i mean, because the investigation is ongoing. at the same time, um, you know, what's your point of view on whether this is a serious setback? you know, for these missions? uh, what's your feeling? >> i think that mission wise, uh, right now, they have to do a reset. they have to look at everything that's going wrong. is 200 too low? we don't know yet where the pilot's too high because of a mechanical issue. the altimeter setting. or was it because of pilot error? i have no knowledge, and we won't know until we get the data. the. actually, the voice recording should tell us a lot, as well as the data recording of the settings. so we really don't know what happened. so in in the absence of information, we need to proceed at the safest way possible. >> makes perfect

that's the opportunity. >> secretary noem says sisa has gotten far off mission.int, every administration has policies and priorities that they go in, they review, they sometimes do it rapidly, sometimes do it slowly at the beginning of the biden administration as scott was talking about. they took down some of the department of justice china task force. china is obviously a huge threat. there are elements of sisa, the election security missions specifically that was clearly spelled out in project 2025 as a distraction and something that was not core, and i will say that having worked with those people, they are patriots and work in public service and they will work elsewhere because they're effective and there are other things we have to continue to be doing. >> want to drill down more, but i come back with everything these days, jan, to the fundamental questions. is this legal? as our legal expert, some of these buyouts are tied up in court. is it legal? >> then we'll have a hearing this week, tomorrow, on whether or not these pauses can remain. i think the judg

but the mission is not only to share information between the ic, but also with our allies.here's no legal requirement that our allies share intelligence with us. it is all predicated on trust. trust that our allies will protect each other's secrets. it appears to me you have repeatedly excused our adversaries' worst actions, instead often blaming them on the united states and those very allies. for example, you blamed nato for russia's 2022 invasion of the ukraine. you rejected the conclusion that assad used chemical weapons in syria despite it being the unanimous assessment of the then-trumpet ministration's dod, state department and ic as well as the assessment of our european allies. instead you blamed the united states for supporting terrorist groups in syria. now i don't know if your intent in making those statements was to defend those dictators. or if you were simply unaware of the intelligence and how your statements would be perceived. in either case, it raises at least for the senator serious questions about your judgment. it also leads me to question whether you

it's it's unbelievable what one drug can effect a community mission. maine, as this development is called, is a tough beat. drugs are sold. law enforcement is stretched. there are only 26 housing authority police for all of boston, but it doesn't have to be way. just down the street on the site of the old mission hill extension the rebuilt and renamed alice taylor apartments seem part of another world. the renovations were pushed by a tenants task force at a cost of roughly $20 million. one of those tenants was hattie dudley. you have to take on attitude that says we're not going to take it anymore and that we're going to do what we have to do to make a difference. and we brought about that change because, first of all, it with one person and then everybody else said, well, yeah, i can go along with that. and then the residents formulated a group said we could stick together on this. we all can come together and we have made a difference because we stuck together looking at something is in development talking about the design all. curtis jones was mana

the access standards enacted in the mission act are clear. mva is responsible for educating its employees on the law and veterans rights to access community care when v.a. cannot provide needed care in a timely manner or due to distance from a v.a. facility. in cases where it is determined to be in the best medical interest of the veteran. we also continue to hear about delays in scheduling community care appointments once a referral has been made. due to the lack of an interoperable health records system v.a. struggles with transmitting records to community providers and integrating those records into the patients' electronic health record. additionally community providers for complications with transmitting health care information and test results back to v.a. there were also complaints from veterans regarding billing issues associated with referrals to community care. v.a. must find an effective solution to ensure that patient records are transferred in a timely manner and provide the tools and procedures for transferring records back to b
