mr. rogers: mr. chairman, i'm pleased to yield two minutes to my friend and colleague from colorado, mr. lamborn. the chair: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. lamborn: thank you and i thank the chairman of the subcommittee for the great work he's done and his leadership on this issue. i do agree with my colleague from california. yes, we need to do modernization. if you'll remember, president obama pledged to modernize a nuclear -- our nuclear forces in return for the senate passing the new start treaty. the current national posture review, which has been endorsed by scureltings -- security officials from several administrations going back, both democratic and republican, says this, maintaining and operating our current aging nuclear force now requires between 2% and 3% of the d.o.d. budget. the replacement program to rebuild the triad for decades of service will peak for several years at only approximately 4% beyond the ongoing 2% to 3% needed for maintenance and operations. this 6.4%

mr. rogers. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you all for being here. i wanted to ask, you talked about having 50 more canine teams this july than you had last july. how many do you need? >> again, right now we're authorized 372. we've seen about 180% increase in program over the next couple years, so we've really been doubling down on our efforts to make sure we have adequate training and kennel space. it's something we look closely at as we start getting new technology, number of officers, how we balance that against the canine, that will be an important part of what our future budgets look like. >> do you have enough to cover the category of airports? >> yes, sir. >> and what is next as far as your expansion of that capability? >> right now, one of the areas we're focusing on is third-party k-9 for the cargo operations. we think that shows a lot of progress and we've been working very close with industry on that. and again, looking at the precision of our model it how we incorporate how k-9s ca

mr. rogers? >> thank you, i regret that i have to oppose the gentle ladies amendment, our friends on the other side of the aisle agree that aviation readiness is a serious issue, but it's amendment is not the way to tackle it. this amendment is trying to structure a false choice attempt to undercut our nuclear deterrent. i read my colleagues -- urge my colleagues not to take the bait. three successive secretaries of defense have said the nuclear deterrence is the high-priority mission. this committee has been told time and again that our nuclear monetization program is on the edge of being delivered on time. that they cannot be delayed, and really they must go faster. on the need to avoid delays, president obama's last secretary of defense bob work said quote now that this modernization, we have delayed and we cannot do further any delays without putting the safety security and effectiveness of our forces at risk, so the choice that we are facing quite frankly is modernizing or losing deterrent c

mr. rogers of alabama. the chair: pursuant to house resolution 900, the gentleman from alabama, mr. rogers, and a member opposed, each will control five minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from alabama. mr. rogers: thank you, mr. chairman. though i plan to withdraw this amendment, i seek to into enter -- seek to enter into a colloquy with mr. conaway and lking about the c.r.p. program. mr. conaway has been a leader of farmers. c.r.p. is a well intended program in protecting sensitive lands. however, the program should not be expanded beyond levels currently authorized in the agriculture act of 2014. the agriculture act of 2014 reduced the c.r.p. acre from 24 -- 27 acres to 27 acres million acres. this bill will increase the acre each one to a maximum of 29 million acres by 2023. usda farm data reveals for 2016 fiscal year, 23.9 million acres were enrolled in c.r.p., representing approximately 7% of the u.s. cropland. rental rates and leases offered by the federal government are often much more lucrative than farming would be. while congressional directives and a favorable far

mr. rogers: i yield two minutes to my friend and colleague from tennessee and maybe of the strategic forces subcommittee. the chair: the gentleman is . cognized mr. desjarlais: the nnsa's mission is arguably one of the most critical national security roles from across the government and as my colleague from alabama pointed out, after years of insufficient funding, our nuclear security enterprise is now facing a myriad of infrastructure problems and potential failures. to quote los alamos lab director, charlie mcmillan, one of the things that keeps me up at night is the realization that essential capabilities are held at risk by the possibility of such failures. the amendment offered by the gentleman from colorado would only exacerbate these problems. most of the cuts made by this amendment would come from high-priority deferred maintenance and infrastructure repairs, with a $3.7 billion infrastructure maintenance backlog, these cuts are unacceptable and pose a serious threat. not only to the nnsa mission, but to the occupational well-being of its employees as well. under the leadership of c

mr. rogers. >> thank you for being here. talk about having 15 more canine teams in july, how many do you need? >> right now we are authorized 372 d.c. 108% increase so we have really been doubling down our efforts to make sure we have adequate training and camel space we're looking at that very closely looking at technology and officers balancing that with the canine that is an important part of future legislation. >> to you have enough to cover the airports? >> yes or -- yes sir. >> what is next as far as your expansion? >> right now we are looking at cargo operations we have been working very close with industry with that looking at the model to incorporate think that is important so from my perspective how we staff airports including that i canines to sit down to make sure we are projecting adequate for the future budget year. >> some 1047 that includes the stakeholders tell me how use of state and local teams. >> as you pointed out two thirds of those are from our state. >> are they trained in a similar program? >> they

mr. rogers: thank you, mr. chairman. i rise to offer my amendment to allow snap users to purchase multivitamins. i would like to thank chairman conaway for his hard work in this farm bill process. h.l. 2 is a bill to strengthen the farm safety net for america's farmers and ranchers and give folks on snap a path out of poverty with work force training programs. the multivitamin can serve as an effective bridge between what americans should eat and what they actually consume. repeated studies have shown that americans do not consume essential nutrients at recommended levels through diet alone. low income and older americans are more likely than others to have insufficient and nutritionally inadequate diets. multivitamins aren't a replacement for a healthy diet but the supplements can help fill the nutrient gap. safe, convenient and scientifically supported multivitamins support a low-cost solution for those looking to make sure their family receive adequate intake of vitamins and minerals. it's my hope that by empowering o

mr. rogers, mr. pompeo and mr. coats? what did you do in reaction to the news of the appointment of the special counsel? again, tried to get to the president's actions, but also what he's thinking, his head, his intent. >> also important to note that mueller would be asking these questions if he does go forward with this interview after i've heard answers to these questions from other people around the president. so he's going in with top advisers like reince priebus, michael flynn, paul manafort. they've already gone in and talked, to these questions are not coming out of nowhere. mueller would have trumps's answers from people he's already collected them from in the room. >> mueller understands something very important about trump which is sometimes when you ask him, what were you thinking when you did x? he answers honestly. he doesn't answer like a lawyer, he answers like a person. he was simply asked, were you thinking about ending the russia investigation when you fired james comey, and he bakesically answered the q

mr. rogers, pompeo and mr. co coates? >> this seems new. as noted here by michael schmidt at the time. what was the purpose of your call to mr. comey on march 30th, 2017? that's what the times said about that. while the white house says mr. comey was fired for breaking the justice policies and discussing the hillary clinton e-mail investigation. mr. trump expressed no suquorumn the interview. he said, director comey was very really good to hillary clinton, that i can tell you. if he were not, she would be right now going to trial. clearly that indicates they're trying to get the president's mind set there. if comey was fired for mistre mistreating hillary clinton then why did you say comey was very good to clinton. mr. comey describes his handling of the clinton investigation in details. he was fired son after. regarding the decision to fire mr. comey, when was it made and why and who played a role in that? what did you mean, firing mr. comey have taken the pressure off. that was his remarks to two government officials hosted in the oval office the day after he fired comey in that meet

mr. rogers, mr. pompeo and mr. coates? these are just some of the questions.now with our panel, john dean, michael hayden who is new bok is "the assault on intelligence." jeff zeleny, anne mirgram and also legal analyst carrie cordero. i think one of the most interesting things when i first saw the questions, i kind of assumed that these were actually the worded questions. it seems like all of our panels are saying they don't think whether they are word for word what the questions would be and there would be sub questions and that these are opening salvos per topic. >> i tend to agree, anderson. i think that these are, you know, could be potential questions but they really are headings that would govern further detailed questions beneath each one, and so what i think these questions were was the questions that the special counsel's office gave to the president's legal team for purposes of saying here is what -- the contours of an interview would take. this is all the things that we want to ask about, not necessarily these are the specific questions, but this i

mr. rogers, mr. pompeo, and mr. coats? and on michael flynn, what did you know about phone calls that mr. flynn made with the russian ambassador, sergey kislyak, in late december, 2016? what did you know about sally yates' meetings about mr. flynn? how was the decision made to fire mr. flynn on february 13th, 2017? after the resignations, what efforts were made to reach out to mr. flynn about seeking immunity or possible pardon? we'll cover the questions on jeff sessions just ahead in our broadcast. keep in mind that right now, it of course remains an open question as to whether the president will ever sit down with robert mueller. it's been reported that rudy giuliani, the president's newest addition to his legal team, has been trying to work out terms for that interview. well, without delay, let's get to our leadoff panel on another very busy monday night. michael schmidt, matt apuzzo, both of "the new york times," both pulitzer prize winners. it's their reporting that has given us our lead story tonight. also with us, b

the chair now recognize mrs. rogers from alabama for -- mr. rogers from alabama for five minutes. >> thank you. thank you all for being here and thank you for your service to our country. i understand that you all may have talked about in the opening statements. i was a little bit. i apologize for that. that in march nearly 1500 person caravan, mostly hondurans, started on a mission to make a 2,000 mile trek to our border that was organized by some sort of radical advocacy group. is that accurate, the characterization of that caravan? and they came through mexico to get to our southwest border. and under the pretense that they were in danger. was there evidence that they were in danger once they were in mexico that you all are aware of? do you know how many of that group made it to the port of san ysidro. >> our records indicate we arrested crossing illegally between ports of the entry. >> do you know of any of those individuals that caravan petition from mexico for asylum? >> in discussions with mexico they did resettle some of the original gr

mr. rogers, mr. pompeo, and mr. coats? hmm. this seems new. as noted here by michael schmidt in the "times," it is not clear whether mr. mueller knows something special about trump's reaction to these interviews. but the question shows that mr. mueller is keenly interested in how trump responded to each step of his investigation. that is fascinating. another question, what was the purpose of your calls to mr. comey on march 30th and april 11th, 2017? what was the purns of your april 11th, 2017 statement to maria bartiromo? hmm? this is what the "times" says about that. while the white house ultimately said mr. comey was fired for breaking with justice department policy and discussing the hillary clinton e-mail investigation, mr. trump expressed no such qualms in an interview with maria bartiromo of the fox business network on april 11th, 2017. he said in that interview, "director comey was very, very good to hillary clinton. that i can tell you. if he weren't, she would be right now going to trial." clearly that indicates that they're trying t

mr. rogers trying to be john wayne? and said how are you doing? so i'm fine mr. president he said i'm fine. he said i read your letter to jackson. i thought you know the old boy is losing it he's 92 in the hospital. he thinks i'm writing letters to dead people so i said mr. president, thank you it's great to hear from you you know actually it was a letter to trump about jackson. and he said yeah. jackson will pay more attention. [laughter] so he's fine. if you're worried you'll hear he's home you'll hear from him again. >> i'm sure so the question a lot people are asking now is -- if you look over the horizon to the post trump era. whether it's three years like seven years or whatever it is, how do we put this thing back together and because you write about how others have put it back together when it felt like it wasn't going to be put back together and running to ideological corners and calling each other names we've never because of politics how do you bring it back together after trump? >> i don't to mario cuomo here but i want to pick apart the premise a lit

[laughter] [applause] so he's fine. if you're worried. he's home, you'll hear from him again, i'm sure. >> that's right. >> so the question a lot of people are asking now is if you look over the horizon to the post-trump era whether it's three years -- >> like planet of the apes -- >> -- seven years, whatever it is, how do we put this thing back together? because you write about how others have put it back together in america when it felt like it was not going to be put back together. when we're running to our ideological corners, when we're calling each other names because of politics, how do you bring it back together after trump? >> i don't want to mario cuomo you

mr. rogers from alabama. >> thank you, madam chairman. it was obvious from your first remarks in your opening statement that you recognize that the most valuable component of your border security system are people. and we'll talk about that more in a minute. but aside from that, when you look at border infrastructure, what do you think is the most critical component that you have to have to secure that border, the southwest border? >> for security? so, it's not coming from me, it's coming from our agents and our chiefs on the ground who through a process every year called a capabilities gap analysis that's then analyzed by our headquarters operations team tell us what they need to secure that border, and they've consistently identified four master capabilities. the first is impedence and denial. that's the ability to stop someone from easily crossing and disappearing, we call it vanishing time, into the united states and infrastructure on the u.s. side. the second is situational awareness, being able to see what's happening on that border

mr. rogers? >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you all for being here. dr. griffin, as you know, i have a very high opinion of you for a long time. and i'm proud you're in this position. this new nda that we just completed, gave you some pretty broad and sweeping powers. i know you've only been in it for two months now, but can you tell me how it's working? >> well, sir, in fact, i've been in this two months today. eight weeks today. and thank you for your kind comments. actually, i have to say, the broad and sweeping powers that the ndaa 17 allocated to us are more broad and sweeping powers to offer advice. i don't -- usdr doesn't have much in the way of specific directive authority to control what is or is not done. so it's more the power to persuade. i hope i'm an effective persuader. >> good. i hope you're effective too. conventional strike hypersonic development needs to be accelerated. can you tell me what your thoughts -- and coordinated better. can you tell me what your thoughts are about that. >> you have hit my number one hot button, sir, as i may

mr. rogers, is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. and madam secretary, thank you for being here and thank you for your service to our country. on a parochial note before my questions, i want to personally invite you, now that you're settled in, to visit the center for domestic preparedness in alabama. as you know, it has done a stellar job since 9/11 in training first responders all around the country, hospital personnel, and it has the only live agent training facility for biological and chemical agents, so i think you would find it interesting. the last secretary to be there was janet napolitano, and i'm sure you'll be as impressed as she was. in your written statement, written testimony, you stated that, "investments in our layered defense at the border would include 65 miles of new border wall construction in the highest traffic zones along the southwest border." yesterday, we had the sbp commissioner testify before the transportation security subcommittee. and he talked about in addition to the wall itself, the importance of tec

mr. mueller's investigators. >> roger stone weighing in on the mueller investigation. former aide sam nunberg will join me with reaction. >>> plus the rolling narrative from the president's attorney and the one thing rudy giuliani says the president should hold out for before agreeing to sit down with the special counsel. >>> but we begin with a live picture of the white house are the president is lashing out at the justice department. and also at the "new york times," this over a new report about a previously unreported meeting at trump tower with a foreign country. now, the president in one tweet earlier about the report sz that the world's most expensive witch hunt has found nothing on russia and me, so now they are looking at the rest of the world. two democratic lawmakers in charge of the russia investigation on capitol hill are weighing in on that "new york times" report today. congressman adam schiff and mark warner. >> if these facts are accurate, it demonstrates just how not only willing but eager the president's son and trump campaign were to solicit to recei

mr. stone is trying to steal his dog, that is a form of aggression. and rogertone has made several statements that seem to be contradicted by the e-mails that he sent, and that may get him in trouble in terms of the perjury. for instance, he has said publicly that he didn't have advance knowledge of the hacks, and then we have sam nunnberg and another unnamed source saying that he did. then he constantly stated that he was only trying to confirm the existence of e-mails not that he -- and never suggested that he was specifically seeking specific types of e-mails and what this exchange seems to indicate is that he was looking for particular information -- >> so you are saying are from the investigative view that the particularly of the view here could be bad for stone? >> correct. and add to that, remember that donald trump during the campaign was saying that he did not support the attacks in libya and going after moammar gadhafi, and hillary clinton said it is a lie, and ymade those statements and then a period between him and hillary clinton and and the sequen

a listen to roger stone who said something very unusual, even for him and for anyone in this situation on "meet the press" this sunday. take a listen. >> it is not inconceivable now that mrmueller and his team may seek to conjure up some extraneous crime pertaining to my business or maybe not even pertaining to the 2016 election. >> how do you make sense of what roger stone is doing and saying? and what mr. credico alleges after speaking to house investigators, after believing mr. stone is threatening him? >> well, i think mr. stone is threatening his dog in a communication with aggression. i think it is very clear that roger stone has made several statements that seem to be contradicted by the e-mails that he sent and that may get him in trouble in terms of perjury. for instance, he has said publicly he didn't have advanced knowledge of the hacks. then we have sam nunberg and another unnamed source saying he dud. but then he constantly stated he was only trying to confirm the existence of e-mails, not that he -- and never suggested that he was specifically seeking specific types of e-mails. and what this exchange seems to indicate is that he actually was looking for par

i did not know about rogers i did not know about other self trained or john clark when i was in that bookstore. i learned about mrs. houston. i learned about people like rogers because i would supply books to people in jails. people in the jails would send their relatives to the bookstore. they would say to have this book and i would have no idea who the author was. after doing research i would find them. they would say you're probably not can viola find it because they don't really want the truth out there. so sure enough i did find the book and the truth was there is no economic basis for anybody to publish the books. it wasn't that the white people that want the books out there, there's no economic model that would support the publishing of the specs on that then became part of the mission. recognizing there was material that people that know about, the idea that it cannot be product to press frustrated me and let me from the bookstore into the publishing of these books. i've been doing this work now almost 40 years. i had not come close to scratching the surface of the books i would like to publish. i just hav

mr. martinez from el paso, texas. agent martinez known as rogerave been reading about so much lately and apart that we are doing a lot with. agent martinez took immense pride and joy in serving his country as a border patrol agent and he was extremely proud of what he did. everyday he would go to work and risk his life to keep america safe. roger said he wanted to prevent terrorists and drugs from coming into our country and we all do. we will get it done. but that is exactly what he did. he bravely confronted the cartel and the smugglers and the human traffickers in the gangs that threaten our communities. one night last november agent martinez died in the line of duty. it was horrific and violent and he was brave. to agent martinez's mom, his son and the entire martinez family, rogers profound and unselfish love of country is an inspiration to every american and everybody here and everybody here and to me i can tell you is a great inspiration.
