what are you doing to reform the organizational structure and the bureaucracy? >> thank you, ranking member bergman. i've been at the va for two years now. one of the things i brought along, we have to bring the stakeholders to the table. we center to define the requirement. as part of that requirement, shelby outlined what are our risks and what are the costs. we have a lot of directors and policies. one of the g.a.o. high risk items when i came on board, i mean, we had over 30 recommends that dated back to 2008, so i swiftly got the team together and even initiated gao meetings so we can meet together and look at how we can work and reduce some these and get the acquisition work force heading in the right direction. ensuring our va policies are in line, that we're not providing additional constraints and directives, that we allow that our acquisition professionals, especially those in the field, to have the flexibility to utilize the bar, to not constrain them. we have a lot of legislation, as well -- >> if this is going to be a 20-minute answer and i apprecia

we really need to try to straighten out the organizational structure. one of my observations has been that messy structure equals messy policy. that leads with the creation of a national cyber director in the white house appointed by the president, confirmed by the senate, which will give continuity to this important interest. we want somebody in the federal government who wakes up every morning with the mission of protecting this country in cyber space. finally one of the crucial elements that we try to address in the report, and frankly it's a difficult one, is the relationship between the government and the private sector. 85% of the target space in cyber is in the private sector. the private sector computers, whether in the financial sector or energy or transportation or telecommunications, they are the frontline troops in this battle, and yet it's the federal government that often has the resources and expertise and ability to pull together this information in order to protect our country. so i'll go back to, i think, one of you stated, i think rep

when a problem is structural organizational, and agency can be changed. until the trump administration, the epa was not tracking how long it took to complete a permit, grant process or state implementation plan. it had no meaningful or any meaningful task the agency had before it. when president trump said he wanted all permits done within two years, we turn to the epa to decide how long it was taking us. we realize we were not tracking how long the process chuck. you cannot improve a process and let you know how long a process takes. change.tions do when they change, it is usually for the better. as i said at the beginning, epa data points to 2020 air quality as being the best on record. here in california where the modern movement began and from where president nixon brought it to the rest of the country, it is important to acknowledge the roles states have in being laboratories for democracy and environmental policy. for environmental policy to work nationally, the federal government and states must work as partners. to do this involves a new vision an

inave seen it myself fieldwork, there is overlap on the local level, the organizational level. that does not mean they are the same organization, it does not mean that antifa is somehow corrupting the black lives matter movement. in fact, a lot of antifa supporters are very conscious of their white privilege and they are very sensitive to being portrayed as trying to take over black lives matter. they think it is very important not to do that. -- as i wasre also mying earlier about antifa, point about how people in antifa believing a variety of political ideologies, you've have got your communists, you have your socialists, even liberals, again, i'm not an expert on black lives matter but i would that very- suspect in large and diverse movement you are going to have people -- it is the same thing. you're going to have people who identify as marxist, but you're also going to have people that self identify as liberals. a lot are going to self identify as democrat. again, these are large social movements so we have to remember that you are just going to see a tremendous amount of
