mr. carter: with respect to the nuclear weapon situation in iran, a couple of things. first, those negotiations that are being conducted by us and our p-5 plus one partners with the iranians have the objective of arresting the iranian nuclear program and they're obviously -- that process isn't complete yet. the president has indicated he's looking for a good deal and there is no deal yet sewn up so it's going to take some time for secretary perry and the others who are negotiating that to see what kind of agreement they're able to reach with the iranians but we've made it clear what is necessary to satisfy us that the agreement is a good agreement from our point of view. for me here our role is not to conduct those negotiations but two other things. the first is to make sure that we have as the president says, other options on the table. and that's something we take very seriously here and we do have other options on the table. and the second thing is to continue to play a stabilizing role in the region as a whole with all of our friends and allies of which we have man

mr. carter for five minutes. >> thank all of you for being here. we appreciate the work that you do. i've got just three very quick questions for you or maybe comments. first of all, mr. clancy, thank you for being here. i believe you were here a couple weeks ago. i closed my clents withomments with saying i hope i didn't see you any time soon. here we are again. we had an incident in cannon i believe it was last week where there was a suspicious powder that was found. my staff had four e-mails sent to them during that time. yet in this situation with the gyrocopter we only had one e-mail sent to us, and that was after the fact. why the difference there? what different scenario led us to that situation? >> the answer is the systems we had in place failed and we immediately fixed them. and i certainly understand your concern. so messages will be sent immediately now and i appreciate the fact that you acknowledge that we sent them in those other instances. >> we sent them in those other instances but we didn't with the gyrocopter. >> we sent some out but clearly it was not comprehensive

secretary carter: ok. >> good morning, mr. secretary. exual assault reported cases, a jury, judge, and -- is the same person. i wondered what you thought of the efforts to make the case is outside of the military? secretary carter: good question. it has been a point of study and debate and contention. let me give you the -- it goes on. we give you the two sides of the coin here. on one side of the coin is the one you say namely that if there is a commander who isn't doing what i asked you to do today then since it is a chain of command, because militant organization depends on the chain of command, we have a problem. we are talking that in two different ways. one, there are fewer commanders who do not know what their doing what their duties are aware of what their duties should be. the second is to give an alternative to the victims and their helpers. that is what some of our counselors and special victim councils are about, to give another chain of avenue for reporting and punishment and above all, care for the. -- care for the victim. t

mr. carter. the chair: the gentleman from georgia is recognized. mr. carter: veterans continue to be one of the most neglected groups in our country. they have sacrificed our lives. yet we have people in the v.a. system that disregard these men and women. as my colleague from arizona mentioned this false guidance is wrong and completely disrespectful. the memo that was issued by the v.a. known as fast letter 1310 was an attempt to make bureaucrats appear they were delivering services and bets fits to veterans. some v.a. offices were eliminating the backlog of benefit claims with the stroke of a pen. just because you lie about it does not make the problem disappear. they disregarded every performance measure. mr. speaker i believe this brings up a large point and that problems within the federal civil system and as an employee within the v.a. stated, the dysfunctional culture of management corruption. for the time being we must address this issue. i join my colleague in offering this amendment. we must care for our veterans in a timely and effective mann

mr. secretary, ash carter talks about the future force. he's secretary of defense. millenials important? >> it's key to recruit new men and women in uniform. the service is not what it used to be. battlefield tenure is long. there's no clear start or stop to war now. people are finding that the tole on themselves and on their families is tremendous because tours get to be two, three, four, five five or more during a career. to attract millenials, i think the secretary is doing the right kind of outreach. he's basically saying we need to recognize the stress on the family, the need for young men and women to be able to pursue additional things other than just the military, and give them the time to do so. so the on and off ramps, the assistance with education, these are the outreach initiatives that i think are going to be able to bring more millenials into the military. >> you were one of the supporters. you did a brief for the supreme court that's hearing it this week. they'll make a decision probably june. why did you sign with other military leaders? >> i was hon

carter says it's a huge and growing concern. i want to pick that thought up as soon as we come back. mr. chairman stay with us. we will take a quick break. much more right after this. over 20 million kids everyday in our country lack access to healthy food. for the first time american kids are slated to live a shorter life span than their parents. it's a problem that we can turn around and change. revolution foods is a company we started to provide access to healthy affordable, kid-inspired chef-crafted food. we looked at what are the aspects of food that will help set up kids for success? making sure foods are made with high quality ingredients and prepared fresh everyday. our collaboration with citi has helped us really accelerate the expansion of our business in terms of how many communities we can serve. working with citi has also helped to fuel our innovation process and the speed at which we can bring new products into the grocery stores. we are employing 1,000 people across 27 urban areas and today, serve over 1 million meals a week. until every kid has built those life-long eating habits, we'll keep wo

mrs. reagan as well. i think she is a misunderstood character. i will leave you with a humorous response she had. she was criticized for all the clothes she brought. a dramatic change from the carter administration. the hard truth campaign i mentioned, one of the presidential libraries we went to to talk about the heart truth campaign there was an exhibit of nancy reagan red dresses as part of this advocacy and awareness. there were hundreds and hundreds of people there to see it, lined out the door. nancy reagan said to laura bush, i was vilified in the white house for my close. now they are lining up to see it. she made fun of herself in an event where she showed up wearing secondhand clothes. one of the things patricia said, which is true, was the timing of releasing the china. which id way was privately funded, but it did not matter. the fact that it was a huge price tag and came at a time we were in a recession the timing was terrible. she suffered from bad press that was very hard for her to ever recover. still referred to often times as queen is nancy. profoundly devoted to her husband's success. >> sir, in the center? >> i also want to say, fantastic panel. really enjoyed

carter: it is part of the reason. we did not talk about any specific offensive to the anbar province, while maintaining pressure north of baghdad as well. >> thank you very much mr. secretary, welcome. or i should say, welcome back. aqap is consistently described by counterterror officials as a severe threat to the u.s. homeland. with u.s. military asset out there along with diplomats a great number of u.s. intelligence resources can you articulate for the american people how much greater is the aqap to americans today due to their advances in gaining territory and due to the loss of american assets on the ground? they can target them, track them, etc. ashton carter: as imartin dempsey: our efforts have to track their character but maintain efficacy. this group, as i indicated earlier, shows determination not only to fight on the ground in yemen, which is what you referred to, but also to strike on the united dates. it is easier for us to operate against a group like that when we have the corporation against the state government. -- the cooperation of state government, as it was in the past. if we do not have a stable government as is the case in the current cir

mr. speaker, senator cornyn from my state of texas, representative carter, representative roger williams put a lot of effort into this but i also need to recognize the thousands of constituents, not just in texas, but across the country who phoned emailed, sent letters asking that this omission be made right. i'm happy to say and acknowledge their -- to their efforts that it finally has been. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentlewoman from illinois seek recognition? >> i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute. mr. schakowsky: on acknowledgment of the nurse's society their 40th anniversary, i want to thank them for oncology and cancer care. o.n.s. is an organization of thousands of nurses and health care providers dedicated to providing health care to those in the most difficult stages of their lives. since 1975, the oncology nurse society has worked tirelessly to lead the transformation of cancer care. o.n.s. is the primary source of education for

defense, ash carter, says just a couple of weeks ago itch he asked to choose between tpp and an aircraft carrier, we choose tpp. from his strategic perspective how to keep america safe and strong. mr't be able to land jets on that. ms. atkinson: he can do more than land jets on it. tpp does more than that. mr. kempe: that's a good segue to the general. how do the marines feel about the choice between aircraft carriers and tpp and that's kind of a frivolous, but underlying serious question, you gave a speech to the national defense industry -- industrial association where you said that the administration should broaden the national security council's role to encompass more energy matters. we not looking comprehensive ly enough at first how we define national security and how we use our national security tools, and to this grabs nicely off of the aircraft carrier tpp. general jones: i think this is really an exciting time. i am fully enthusiastic about what the administration is trying to do here. we have great u.s. trade rep, in mike froman, and secretary's use of commercial diplomacy is one of the bright things that really going on in our approach to world affairs. i think it reco

mr. durbin: i want to thank senator blumenthal and senator carter.i also want to thank my colleague senator lee hose a been waiting parablely wait patiently for the last 15 minutes or so. if i said that we were dealing with an industry of for-profit colleges and universities which have 10% of the high school graduates in america ad tending and 46% of all the student loan defaults it night raise some question. if i told that at least 90% of the revenue that these for-profit colleges and universities receive these is from the federal trash federal subsidies, sometimes more than 90%, the point we're making here and if i told you that many of these schools are literally exploiting our veterans and service members i think that is a clarion call for members of congress to stand up and do something to protect first the men and women in uniform and the veterans, second to make sure that taxpayers' dollars are well-spent. this corinthian college collapse is an indication of how we can lose $1.2 billion a year for a worthless college system, for-profit college

mr. kessler makes an important point that fails to report the story. >> guest: the total expenditures are probably in millions of dollars but i think that if you have a president like jimmy carter or george bush or laura bush, taken hostage by isis we don't want that. when you compare the budget of the secret service, which is $1.9 billion as projected per year a which cost about that much. it is just ridiculous. we need to prevent another assassination. that really nullifies democracy. i was in college when jfk was assassinated and i cried for days. it was such a blow to everybody. and so when it comes to money it should not be a factor. the secret service would not even spend money to have detectors to detect gunshots at the white house, that is something that the police in washington have talked about. they will not spend money to use the latest detecting intrusion or what is available from the national laboratories. anyway you look at the secret service, it is in shambles. >> host: as a result of the reagan incident, the secret service began using magnetometers screened crowds at events. >> guest: before this the secret service used magnetometers and the real reason that re
