omb has worked with us. >> what did they come up with?>> there is a range depending weather permits detention facility would be in its nature. there is a lot of work. the objective will let me start at the beginning to talk about transfers but there are people in guantanamo bay who will not be transferred there are not safe to transfer. those that we talk about a lot of attention and we would like to do in a way that cost less and omb has been helping with that. >> trying to determine the cost holding in the u.s. forces guantanamo. >> exactly the. that is part of the proposal >> i yield back. >> thank you for your patience. mr. secretary you said in your comments that president obama is committed to doing what it takes as the opportunities arise as the enemy adapts. billing commander in chief under our constitutional form of government but this president said he -- they are the junior varsity team and city before the attacks said they are contained. you believe every word pro when i go to the middle east to talk to leaders they say there

that costs less and takes fewer of our people -- >> i guess what i'm trying to determine -- >> and omb has been trying to determine that. >> and the cost of holding them in the u.s. versus guantanamo. i believe they've done a study. >> exactly. they have and that will be part of the proposal that's brought to you. >> thank you. i yield back. appreciate it. >> thank you very much for your patience, gentlemen, i know you sat here for a lot of questions. mr. secretary you said in your comments that president obama is committed to doing what it takes as opportunities arise as we see what works, as the enemy adapts until isis is defeated in a lasting way. the president is the only commander-in-chief that we've got, we can't be the commander-in-chief under our constitutional form of government, you have to report to me. but this president has said that isil's haa jv team. before the paris attacks he said they were contained. you're an honorable man, you believe every word you're telling us, i understand that. when i go to the middle east, when others of us go to middle east they say there's

would give up part of their territory and allow the russians to establish bases controling the b ombingforus and the dardinels. the turks refused. in greece, the communist has already started civil war. russia was sending arms to them through the neighboring satellite states to bring bitterness, despair and death to the greek people. if greece and perhaps turkey were not also to be swallowed up, help had to come from the west. at this crisis in march 1947, president truman asked the united states congress an historic speech to modify its traditional policy of neutrality. >> i believe it must be the policy of the united states to support free peoples who are resisting attempted subrogation by an armed minority or by outside pressures. >> only czech of the countries behind the iron curtain had so far preserved some independence. after the war, the russians had to reckon with the popularity of president benish and its foreign secretary. they were liberal minded men who believed it was possible to be friends with the communists ithout succumbing to them. but to the communists, gentleness is

they had stockpiled assault weapons, ammunition, and pipe .ombs this was an act of terrorism designedll innocent people. caroline: terrorism and the refugee crisis have also come regional in france's elections. according to early polling data, it has taken more than 27% of the debate. guy, back to you. more on thatt story that caroline was just talking about, the french regional elections. eurasia group researchers joins us now. .his is better than we thought how strong a victory was it and will it translate into reality? disagree, i think it was what was expected and she might be slightly disappointed. the polls were showing her at about 30%. we have to wait and see what happens. it certainly means they are now a political force that is present on every ballot. guy: what does this mean for nicolas sarkozy? this is a midterm for them and if they won a lot of regions last time because sarkozy was in power, so it is more difficult for his republican party. i think the biggest problem will be in how they coordinate a message between forming united fronts and maintaining their identity th

videod mere putin who has killed, he's jailed and murdered journalist,s political opponents,s,ombed an apartment building as -- he is responsible malaysian airliner over ukraine he provided the anti-aircraft weaponry that was used. this is a person who has done higher filing things. from a geopolitical realistic level we have to deal with him because he's leader of important country between them and us control over 09 post of the world's nuclclr weapons. he's not someone w w is going to go down in history as a great leader. >> dickerson: and donald trump mentioned those journalists killings he said, i think our country does plenty of killing also. >> i haven't heard him. of course it's outrageous. i don't know single documented instance which the president of the united states ever ordered assassination of jrnalists who issue coverage of them or taken different political line. we've entered a portion of this politics where nothing surprises me any more whether it's donald or people watching. >> dickerson: thank you so much. >> thank you. didierson: from iowa we traveled to the first in

>> so, you know, we conducted at omb a-123 financial audit. we have a smart program audit, an external security audit. the states have their own audits, legislature audits. so these numbers get pored over. >> and then how do you use them? >> well, if we find that money's been improperly classified either as a cost allocation or as an operating expense when it wasn't, we go collect it. >> and what types of independent assessments and audits are required? >> well, there's the omb audit. >> mm-hm. >> there's a large variety of audits that follow these. >> sometimes i think as you said before states do misclassify or misuse the grants. so what steps does cms take then to bring the state back into compliance? >> to give you an example, we found that in the case of arkansas, roughly $1 million and we've notified them. and we're in the process of collecting that. there's three other states that have amounts of money that we thought were misclassified but i also emphasize, congresswoman, we do a lot more to prevent these from happening. >> that was my

i am an appropriator on the relevant subcommittee and have advocated for it with the hea d of omb and the attorney general. i would be grateful for any other advice from you on how to sustain it, make it more effective. certainly the work to reduce violent crime is far from over in my hometown and other cities around the country. hopefully we'll sustain this program until we see some significant reduction in violent crime. i would like to mention another issue, if i could, about cyber security. the senate recently passed the cybersecurity sharing information act, which permits dhs to scrub personally identifying information it receives from private entities, but only after it secures the approval of a number of agency heads, including yourself in your role as director of the fbi. have you had communications with other agencies yet about how this process will work? are you committed to ensuring that dhs could conduct a robust scrubbing of personally identifying information? >> i have not had any conversations about that. but the second part is easy. we'll do everything possible to make

we have seen high profile data breaches with omb. what is the fbi doing to ensure that we don't fall victim -- a lot of information held by the fbi is extremely sensitive. are we taking the measures we need to and how can congress help to make sure the data is secure? >> we worry about this every day. we try not to be overconfident. i think we have very good systems. but we can't be satisfied. as good as your system might be, if human being have access to it, there is a vulnerability there. especially since snowden stepped up our game to make sure we understand the potential insider threat. we focus from a technological perspective and human vulnerable perblt is the best headliner i can give you. >> you've mentioned in your testimony that one of the areas of focus is focus on corruption at the border. can can you give us an idea what you are doing to combat that? >> all our field offices along the mexican border have robust squads and efforts going on there. because any time you have human paoegs in a role where there's tremendous am

the federal reserve, omb, cbo, most of the forecasting models all showed gdp going up. know, start again. gdp going up, and she began to see, we had so many false moves in this particular period that we ought to be looking and saying, well, maybe something is wrong with the conceptual framework which we are using to understand how these markets are working. and for example, the conundrum issue we discussed before was one of these types of changes. so i don't think it has settled down at the moment, but interest on excess reserves is the key variable, because remember what it has done. when they went to qe1, two and three, of necessity it would expand the asset side of the balance sheet and, therefore, you create a large degree of reserve balances, which by definition can only be depository institutions who have an account at the federal reserve. in other words, the markets will continue to adjust until the only holders of those balances are depository institutions. so that the issue of fed policy was how do we essentially neutralize them? and the way you do it is you pu

bloomberg government, former comptroller with omb. you've got some budget pressure, i know. the death star. you've got some budget pressures, so the question is, you have talked about the difficulty of the department with the technology refresh compared to the private sector. is there an escape valve for you to reach out and take advantage of stock in the commercial world that makes your job easier? >> absolutely your now, i will just point back that if you look at what happened in the interwar period, if you look at what happened in the first offset and you've looked what happened in the second offset, all three of those things occurred when defense budgeting was at its low wind. it forced you to think differently. and what the experimentation and the demonstrations in the wargaming allowed you to do is when defense spending started to go up, you would be well prepared to butcher money in the things that you thought would provide you with an advantage. that's why so you're not going to see some big, giant ship in the 17 budget. but i will argue that when you look back betwe

in fact, d ombing tson says the mexican bandits who gunned down terry were working for f.b.i. operatives and sent to the border to do a drug ripoff using intelligence gathered by the d.e.a. special agent et with the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms, explosives, said he doesn't think the f.b.i. was part of the ripoff crew but the agency was directing the rip crew. the point here, i think that is important, we know that one of the guns that this administration was pushing legitimate gun dealers in the united states to sell to people that shouldn't have been allowed to get guns, so that they could end up going to drug cartels and they could supposedly follow the weapons, we know that one of those weapons this administration pushed to be sold ended up in the hands of drug cartels who killed apparently u.s. border patrol agent brian terry in 2010, so we know there's violent drug cartel activity in the nogales, arizona, area, and now interesting report that apparently it's not just drug cartel activity in that area, it's also middle eastern activity surveilling the entry area
