mr. sullivan: this team is focused really on o.n.s. and alis and things like that. mr. bogdan: can i make one or comment? if you went to eggland air force base today or if you want to luke air force base, what you'd find over the past year is, not all but many of the maintenance work-arounds and burdens that we placed on the matt: daners over the last few years -- over the maintainers over the last few years are systemically getting improved. we're not anywhere where we need to be with alis but i think what you get from the maintainers, if you talk to them today, is the fact that they do indeed see an improvement each and every time we put out a new version of software. which means the trending is going in the right direction. we just have a long way to go. mr. turner: thank you. one thing we know is that consumers weren't given iphones until they were done. you have to however put planes in pilots' hands while you're still developing them. we all get to look over your shoulder as you're doing it and we appreciate both the work of the g.a.o. and others to ensure that we

mr. sullivan? >> yeah. i think depending on the mission scenarios and things like that, certainly it's a critical thing. i don't know if i'd want to be a pilot and watch the screen go blank. but it's a spec -- i assume it's a spec the contractor has and it's in development and we've talked to the program office about this. and it's very serious problem but 2-b had issues and they worked through those and i would hope that they can do the same with 3-i and i think it will be the same thing with 3-f. so eventually i would hope that they will work that out and get it to whatever the spec is which i think will support the war fighter. if they do that -- that's why the timing is so critical. because you'd want that done by iocs, obviously. you'd want to be able to go to iot&e with problems like that under your belt as opposed to adding that to the burden of the operational testers. >> i'm going to ask mr. stackley to follow up but considering this is our last day for votes, i want to be, you know, sensitive to m

mr. sullivan: mr. president, today i know we've been focusing on a really important bill, the cara bill that has been led by senators like senator portman, senator ayotte, many others; very, very important bill for our country, for states like alaska that are seeing this explosion of opioid use, heroin use, drug addiction, that is impacting so many families. i had the opportunity to talk about this when i was home in alaska last week down in juneau in front of our state legislature. this work is showing bipartisan work, very important to the country, very important to states like alaska. and i'm certainly proud to be a cosponsor of that bill. we're going to continue to try and get that over the goal line. mr. president, i also think it's important to focus on issues not only domestically, of course, but issues beyond our borders as well. and what i want to talk about in terms of these kind of issues this afternoon is the issue of american leadership in the world today. now, a lot of us in the senate ha

mr. sullivan: i want to summarize fife of the major points in that statement and my oral remarks. first the department is planning to add new capability known as block four to the f-35 beyond its baseline capability and is planning to manage that effort as part of the existing program rather than establishing a separate business case and baseline for this new work. this has significant implications as far as congress' role in oversight this modernization effort is like a new program with estimated costs of about $3 billion over the next six years. the price -- that price tag alone would qualify it as a major defense acquisition program in its own right and it should be managed as such so that it is subject to the same statutory and regulatory reporting as any other program its size. the f-22 provides precedent for this. it began its modernization effort as part of the existing baseline program and it eventually established a separate business case and developed into a major acquisition program with its own milestone b in order to better track progress and cost changes. second, tho

mr. sullivan? >> good morning, mr. chairman. members of the subcommittee.leasure to be here to discuss a program and f-35 program today. i have a written statement i'll submit for the record. i will summarize five major point in my oral remarks. first the department is now planning to add new capability known as block 4 to the f 35 beyond its baseline capability. and is planning to manage that effort as part of the existing program. rather than establishing a separate business case and baseline for this new work. this has significant implications as far as congress is rolling oversight. this modernization effort is like a new program with estimated cost of about $3 billion over the next six years. that price tag alone would qualify it as major defense acquisition program in its own right and it should be managed as such. so that it is subject to the same statutory and regulatory reporting as any other program its size. f-22 provides precedent for this. it began its modernization effort as part of the existing baseline program and eventually established a se

mr. chairman. >> senator sullivan, senator blumenthal. >> thank you, mr. chairman.verybody on this panel has provided very distinguished service to our country. thank you for that service and for you being here today. and all of you i know are familiar with the abuse of cramming, which is the unscrupulous practice of wireless carriers allowing third parties to add charges on monthly bills without authorization without even consent or knowledge sometimes of consumers. commissioner rosenworcel i want to thank you for your visits to connecticut, your native state in hartford to join me several times to discuss this abuse and to announce refunds that are going back to consumers as a result of the commission's good work. at the fcc hearing about a year ago i raised the mobile cramming issue and asked several of you if you would commit to an fcc rule making to apply the conditions to the whole market, which i think are very important to protecting consumers long after the consent decrees expire, the consent decrees are good, but all carriers should be required to protect

sullivan? >> thank you, mr. chairman, i want to thank the panelists for their testimony on a very important topic. i think it's very clear on this committee we're all very committed to clean water, clean air, there's been a lot of focus on the flint issue. certainly nobody wants to have our drinking water have poison in it, so the issue of clean water certainly has come up because of that. i am really interested in having to work with my committee members in my state. we have entire communities in alaska that don't have running water, that don't have flush toilets. thousands of alaskans, americans which i think is outrageous and i certainly want to work with this committee on not only addressing flint but other places that don't have any of the benefits that most americans just assume they have. we don't have that in my state in a lot of communities and it's something we need to fix, not just in other places in the country. but mrs. keogh, i want to follow up on your -- i think your statement sums up frustration

. >> on behalf of the chairman, senator sullivan, please. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you, gentlemen, for your service and testimony here today. i particularly appreciate both of you outlining the five strategic threats. i think that's very clear. i think the american people need to hear that. i think senator graham's comments about -- or his question about how you think those are going to continue is also very important testimony. you know, those threats in how to counter them include the aggression of russia, which is as you know, mr. secretary, general dunford is in europe and the arctic. the ability to rebalance our asia pacific force posture in light of our challenges there with china. in light of those serious threats, you may have seen that general millie decided to reverse the army's earlier decision made last year to disband the 425 which as you know, mr. secretary, is the only airborne bct in the entire asia pacific. the strategic reserve that's very -- that would be very involved in any kind of conflict in korea. the only arctic bct that'

mr. huffman, do you have any thoughts? >> senator sullivan, we have to cut it here. >> ok, mr. chairman. there was no one else here, so i was wondering. >> senator boxer wants to have the extra time. >> usually, in most committees, if there's no one else here and we had questions, it doesn't seem to be a big hassle. i will submit questions for the record. >> ok, thank you. senator boxer, take whatever time you need. >> that is very sweet of you. my colleague, senator sullivan, raised the issue. we looked it up. epa has won 70% of the cases before the supreme court. as a matter of fact, in the 30% they lost, sometimes they lost because they were not doing enough. we can send you the memo on that. i think that is important. i also think it is important to clearly, thatct, should be in evidence. this is one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. we know that. to think that the federal government would not be an important partner to the state is wrong. i know some of you say it is time for them to be a partner. i want to pick up on what mr. pirner said. th
