nsa and other elements. let's pick the best of breed and apply it more broadly. let's not waste money. everybody trying to do their own thing here. investment in the persistent training environment actually simulate the networks that we're going to defend and the networks that we're going to operate on. that's fundamental to the future for us. we cannot afford a model where we do major exercises and try to bring everybody together. it's a cost intensive approach to doing business. it shouldn't be the fundamental backbone. cyber situational awareness is another area where i would argue we have got to be able to visualize this. right now we just don't do that well. i prioritize it at a lower level and i'm first to acknowledge that. and take risks and tend to prioritize it and we need to increase the level of investment and we're taking too much risk. those are probably the three areas he to keep focused on and keep investing on. >> and the administration failed to respond because it determined that we immediate russia's help in syria. if true, the obama administrat
