as commanders in chief of the national guard, we recognize the importance of having a strong national guard in our individual states, whether it is helping during times of crisis with natural disasters or helping in times of supporting our military in their crucial roles and it being an integral part of the military itself. so we are looking forward to having general frank grass, who is the members of the joint chief of staff and the chief of the national guard bureau who will join us as afternoon. governors are also continuously calling for congress to work with the national guard, especially what we see as disproportionate tests to the national guard as they look at cutting the federal exit and ways they help reduce our debt in our nation, but governor still need the national guard to have the capacity, to have the quality, the men and women and service agreement that we need to be able to stand up our national guard. we look forward to continuing to work on that issue. other findings that the national commission of the structure of the air force put out earlier this year that relat

what we have is a national risk assessment as well as a national risk register which is a document we used to try and assess these risks. we discuss that and agree and try to make sure we're dealing with risks in an appropriate way. it's very difficult to try and measure up the amount you spend on one subject with what you spend on another. i can't pretend there is an exact science in it, but i would say because all these risks and risk registers are brought together in the national security secretary, at least we have one part of government trying to measure all this up and the committee then looks at it. >> so do you look at those resource choices? >> we, we do look at resource choices. specifically in terms of intelligence. but it is quite a good example of the national security council in action. the budget comes in front of the n.s.c. and we have to -- it's a good moment where the politicians can act as inquisitors to the experts how we got it right between counterterrorism and espionage and wider broader intelligence spending. do you measure up flood on the one hand to the chanc

the national security act of course created the national security council and the defense department but the creation of the central intelligence agency really laid the foundations for the modern american intelligence community. the faults of the national security act of 1947 was that it seemed to give the central intelligence agency many responsibilities for coordinating the variety of intelligence entities across the federal government but not enough authority to do the job. so let me break that down for you if i could. the cia is of course famous for two missions you are all very familiar with, covert action in the recruitment of spies around the world. the security act of 47 also sought to make the cia to give him another mission which was to manage the community to be the dci and to coordinate the growing infrastructure of intelligence agencies that have begun to grow up around world war ii. as you approach through the cold war years a variety of task forces and commissions noted that the underlying ability of the director of central intelligence to coordinate for example the si

so national security risks are one. and they're very important to consider and they're part of the mix. but risk to journalistic freedom re also one. and that has to be considered. risks to our relations with foreign countries, including those who are friendly with us or we're trying to cooperate, that's another. economic and democratic risks that cut across territorial boundaries, that's another set of risks that might cut in a different direction from the national security risk in terms of what policies to adopt. and of course risks to privacy which are a central feature of the overall calculus. the ideas we're dealing with, risk management and the risks that involve operate along a number of different dimensions. the fourth and final principle has to do with the need consistently to focus on the consequences of what government policies are. not only before the fact, but in an ongoing way. so if it's the case that you have some policies that were adopted, let's suppose, in the aftermath of 9/11, or a year or two befor
