mr. smith? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'll point out the overall budget the 'president submitted contained $3 trillion in ten-year save state of georgia if the budget were passed it more than meets the $1.2 that was required to avoid sequestration so there was a plan put on the table and i share the chairman's iraqis that the sooner we resolve that overall issue the better for all concerned, what ever that plan may wind up looking like. i wanted to get more comments from you about brac. you've seen since discussion started, it has not been greeted warmly on the hill, to put it mildly. except by me, i think i'm the only one that has a single positive to say about it. i looked at it logically and said, if we're shrinking the force to the size we are, we're ng of europe, we're making substantial changes in the strategy, regardless of the debate in the budget we're moving things no wn do that without some doing some closures and realignments. i don't see where it's possible. i certainly have a large number of bases in my stat

mr. smith? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i share your concerns, and these gentlemen's concerns about sequestration. i think it's imperative to avoid it for many of the reasons stated. the big problem is, there's three basic pieces of trying to deal with the deficit here. there's the mandatory spending, the discretionary spending and revenue, all the money that comes in. in all those areas, we've seen spending go up significantly in both mandatory and discretionary, and we've seen revenue go down significantly in the last ten years, by over 30%. in large part because of the sheer number of tax cuts we've passed over the last couple of years and ups and downs of the economy. all three of those pieces have to be on the table. unfortunately as the chairman points out, the budget control act only dealt with one, and then so on a wing and a prayer said, we hope the super committee will figure out the other two, which didn't happen. i think the overall problem here is the depth of denial in this country, not just in this town, abou

mr. smith. >> thank you mr. chairman. i share your concerns and these gentlemen's concerns about sequestration, i feeling it's important that we a void it and the big problem with the budget approach, there's three pieces, man tory spending and discretionary spending and the revenue, all the money that comes in this. in all areas we have seen spending go up significantly in mandatory and discretionary and we have seen revenue go down significantly in the last ten years by over 30%. because of the shear number of tax cuts that we passed and the ups and downs of the economy. all three of the pieces have been on the table to deal with it. as the chairman points out the budget control act dealt with one and sort of on a wing and a prayer said we hope the super committee figures out the other two. that did not happen t depth of denial in the country, not just in this town about where the deficit is at and what is going to be required to respond to it is unprecedented, what we do, every elected official has their part of the bu

. >> mr. smith is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman. thank you to our panel today. it's always interesting i don't think anyone is pretending it's simple or we have an easy answer here. i do want to reflect a little bit on the interrelated nature of a lot of these businesses. i won't ask whether time warner uses fedex or ups. that's not what i'm getting at here. is there any concern that maybe the products or services that you use within your own companies and outside your own companies would have an adverse impact if we don't get this right? >> absolutely mr. smith. you put your finger on one of the pressure points. our tax code has so many different provisions that attempt to direct economic ac other. my personal affinity is we leave it up to the economy and the business community and try to minimize that as much as possible. you mentioned about 199 in effect, fedex is part of the manufacturing business as well. but we're not generatellrized a. we're in the distribution chain for a lot of manufacturers. we don't qualify for 199. why did that line get drawn quite t

>> absolutely, mr. smith. and i think you have put your finger right on one of the pressure points here, is that our current tax code has so many different provisions that attempt to direct economic activity one way or another. my personal feeling is we leave it up to the economy and the business community and try and minimize that as much as possible. you mentioned about manufacturing having r&d, or 199. in effect, fed ex is part of the manufacturing business as well. but we're not generally categorized as a manufacturer. but we're in the distribution chains for a lot of manufacturers. we don't qualify for 199, for example. why did that line get drawn quite that way? but it's those kinds of issues i think you're exactly right. >> anyone else? go ahead. >> i think you're right. i mean all of our businesses are interconnected in one fashion or another. it just depends on the degree of separation. that being said, i agree with mike here as far as the complexity and the inability to predict what is going to come

i want to bring up the fact that i have been working with mrs. smith of the public health departments for the smoke-free, and she has been there a few times, and the last time i spoke with her she said she was going to address this. here is proof that shows they are still not abiding by what they have been discussing. >> this is in front of your house? >> this is in front of our house. they come, and it is a little bit setback may be afoot, a foot and a have set back, so it has an overhang. they talk on their phone, they get away from the bar because it is too noisy, and after working with anita floras, because what they are doing is dumping their mock water into the street, and she has been out there several times to talk to them. for whatever reason, it is not sinking in this is not ok, so i wanted to share those things, and also, as my husband was saying, i would much rather have it go back to the amount of rentals to having a jukebox again. it also because of a lifetime of catching hopkinup to the good nr commission list of they are not abiding by,

that meant someone had to come to you and say, mr. smith lose it. they just misrouted it. >> reporter: we rerouted your package. oh, my. >> obviously, i was not happy about it. but you know, brian, i think the secret about management is really to make sure that the people that you work with are not afraid to deliver you bad news. >> reporter: there's one piece of very bad news fred smith still struggles to get over. the sudden death of his 35-year-old daughter wendy, a photographer and mother of two, who died back in 2005 of an undiagnosed heart defect. how did you get back up in the game after losing a child? >> brian, i don't think you ever get back up. it's the most horrendous thing that can happen to a person. she was the sweetest thing. we miss her every day. she left us two beautiful little grandsons that we see quite often. you just deal with it. >> reporter: that very first fedex jet with wendy's name on it now sits in the smithsonian air and space museum. and back to those valentine's day deliveries we went along on yesterday. one

smith. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i too, want to join you in your thanks and praise for the general and the secretary. we could not possibly have two more capable folks leading the army. appreciate your hard work on behalf of our country. we particularly appreciate all the hard work that our soldiers have done over the course of the last ten years, fighting two major ground wars and fighting them very, very well. they performed at the expectations, and i'm sure we all have for them. but still, very, very high level. we appreciate the sacrifices that all of the soldiers have made in the last ten years. and their families. and i believe the chairman laid out correctly the challenge that we face, as we've now drawn down in iraq and now begin to draw down in afghanistan. that means major changes for all of the services, but the army in particular as the largest force that was and is deployed in those locations. how do we do that responsibly, that as we change the size of the force, as we change where they're deployed, we

mr. smith. >> thank you mr. chairman. i will point out the overall budget the president submitted contained $3 trillion and 10 years' savings so if that budget would pass it would more than meet what was required for sequestration. so there was a plan put on the table. i share the remarks the sooner we resolve that overall issue, the better for all concerned, whatever that plan may wind up looking like. >> the comments of congressman buck mckeon, asking questions to defense secretary leon panetta. you heard from congressman adam smith, democrat from washington state. joining us live, jeremy herb, following us for "the hill" newspaper joining us live, thanks for being with us. what was your takeaway from secretary panetta? this is the second day he was on the hill trying to roll out this budget proposal that does include some rather sharp cut-backs for the military. i found it interesting on your website how k street lobbyists are lining up to obviously help the consequence industry dealing with some of these potential cut

. >> i want to thank you mrs. smith and senator brown for your work on these issues. i do have a statement i want to read and say. i woke this morning to read a powerful but thoroughly unsettling piece by chinese dissident yujia in "the washington post." he said chinese dissident exiled to the west today get a very different response than soviet writers received not long ago. i would go further that mr. yu. chinese defectors get a very different response as evidenced by a story that broke days ago about a senior communist party official in china that reportedly attempted to defect to the u.s. and was turned away after his request for asylum was rejected. the soft-spoken man who i recently met endured beatings and torture from chinese secret police. he asserts china is a greater threat than the soviet union ever was but now the west lacks visionary politicians such as ronald reagan to stand up to that threat. i could not agree more. in fact, just last week, along with a number of other members, we urged president obama in a letter signed by a number of members to do wh

you have been here now for over well over two hours, and i have a question that for the record, mr. smith who is also chairman of the judiciary committee had to leave this hear, and he had three questions that he would like responses to at the end of february and i submit them for unanimous consent, and i will forward those to you. and by 2011, there was a group of truck drivers who were granted authority and access throughout the united states and eventually permanent authority, and section 603 requires the secretary of homeland security, and secretary of transportation to draft guidelines for trucking no later than april of 2008. the department has yet to issue the guidelines and on november 21st of last miller and i wrote an oversight letter to you expressing security concerns about the pilot, and then your staff got back to us on the 20th of january, ab youn said that you are drafting the guidelines and so if you can get back to those on us, and can you provide a time line when you can expect the department to issue these guidelines? how has the pilot affected the volume of trucks at

and mr. smith mentioned it. and, again, many of us voted for it. some didn't. the deficit reduction act called for serious reductions in our spending. i understand the results of the last election and the people said -- you got to go to washington to get our financial spending in order. everything needs to be on the table, defense, included. and i don't think anybody would argue with a budget as large as we have in the defense department, that we can't find savings. and this is a huge, huge cut. defense accounts for 20% of our overall budget. and the tranche we voted on, 50% of the savings come out of the defense. so i would say we've given and given a lot out of defense. and then the sequestration, i mean, when we voted for the deficit reduction we were told the super committee, that the sequestration was so bad that it would force the super committee to do its work to find other savings in the entitlement programs which is where the real problem is anyway. because if we eliminated all defense spending. if we eliminated all education spending. if we eliminated

and it's a pleasure to work with him each and every day and i think as you have said, both you and mr. smith that we are blessed to have such a great leader at such an important time. while i'm on the matter of thanks i would be remiss to not thank each and every one of you. i may be biassed but i think i have a great appreciation and i know i have a deeped eddeep adm for this committee and the role it plays for building the national defense and making sure that we have the rules, the laws and the money and the processes to do the right thing by these amazing men and woman 1.1 million strong. today, our demanding fiscal environment requires us to have an even stronger partnership with this committee and this congress and i promise we will do everything that we can to see that it happens. we have a shared responsibility. one to make sure we have the right resources to defeat our enemies to supply and protect and support our alleys and make sure that our homeland remains safe, and we need to do it affordably. the budget you have before you supports these goals by laying the foundation of a gra

. >> and your brother, gary b, mr. smithbe richer than you, but you're not jealous about that. >> far from it. i would just say this, obviously, what income-- if you take the term literally, i think that people were saying that somehow that was about discrimination and that's not what rick santorum was talking about. and to the point, how many years you go to school, how much risk you want to take, and not everybody wants to make a million dollars a year. not everybody wants to make $100,000 a year. part of our system, you are free to make those decisions, this is about a meritocracy issue and that's the point that santorum makes and that, to gary b's point, is what has made america great. >> brenda: steve, has it? >> absolutely. if i'm supposed to quote from the communist manifesto and to ye he, everybody to his knees, when it's based on merit, yes. when it's based on whose womb you came out of, i don't like it. here is the problem with income inequality. gary b was absolutely right. we had income equality going into the de

for the record, mr. smith, he had to leave this hearing. three questions he would like responses to if possible bite end of february. i submit them for the record without objection so ordered and get those questions on to you. a question i have myself is that in a total of 2011 a select group of mexico based trucking carriers granting provisional operating authority allowing them access throughout the united states and eventually permanent authority. section 703 of the safe port act requires the secretary of homeland security and transportation, no later than april 2008. the department has yet to issue those guidelines. november 21st of blast year, chairwoman miller and i wrote an oversight letter expressing concerns about the pilot and january 20th, your staff got back to us, currently drafting guidelines and anticipate a timely resolution. four questions now. answer now or get back to us. can you provide a timeline when you can expect the department to issue these guidelines? how has the pilot impacted the volume of trucks at the border a

mr. smith from new jersey, the chairman of the subcommittee on africa, global health and human rights is recognized. >> thank you very much. welcome, madam secretary. let me associate myself with the remarks of our distinguished chairwoman on cuba. we had a hearing a couple weeks ago with dr. oscar bichet who had a 25 year sentence. he is out of prison but he's not out of prison. he spoke via telephone right here. and the man is unbelievably brave. he is calling for freedom, human rights and we've got to be very hard lined, i believe, but also very prudent. i would hope that the gentle lady made a very important point about not attending and i hope that will be the case. let me ask with you regards to the iranian person. we'll have a resolution on the floor later on today. if can you speak to the iranians and to the world, there is a ratcheting up of persecution against christians cha is unprecedented. i held two hearings on the coptic christians, the kidnapping of coptic christian girls who ar

i do share with mr. smith and i think you an understanding of the difficult realities of the brac process, the necessary decisions that must be made. i wonder if you could outline what some of the strategic tradeoffs would be if we don't do the brac process. you've been through it, i've been through it, i think everybody on the committee has one way or the other. tell us what happens if we bend to the easy decision and not do brac, what do we give up in that tradeoff? >> look, you all know this, the defense only has so many parts. i've identified the areas that involve savings that we can focus on. we put everything on the table. those parts are efficiencies whatever we can do to eliminate waste and cut down on bureaucratic overhead. there's a lot of that. we've added about $60 billion in savings in that area. the second area obviously is force structure. obviously that means, that involves cutting personnel out of the force. and we've already targeted about 100,000 reduction in both the army and the marine co

mr. smith: madam speaker, i yield the balance of my time to the gentleman from california, mr. lungren, chairman of the house administration committee. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california is yielded 6 1/2 minutes. mr. len gren: i thank the gentleman from texas for yielding. -- mr. lungren: i thank the gentleman from texas for yielding. madam speaker, i'd like to particularly point to staff who have worked over this last weekend, including four attorneys on my house administration committee who spent a good portion of this last weekend going through the senate bill and trying to come up with what we believe is a responsible bill, a tough bill that could pass this house and frankly did not claim -- did not include the errors that we found in the bill on the senate side. several months before the stock act debate in the senate, questions were raised publicly about the application of existing laws related to insider trading. specifically, there were questions as to whether or not the current laws applied to members of congress or their staff. as chairman of the c
