>> this is the heart of the pentagon, in washington, d.c. since the early years of world war ii, this building has been the home of america's department of defense. it's one of the largest office buildings in the world. about 23,000 people come here to work every day. a good many of them are not even members of our armed forces-- many are civilian employees from all walks of life. all of them, though, are mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. the men and women who travel these halls every day come here for one purpose only: to help defend our nation and the cause of freedom around the world. it's been that way for nearly 70 years. the story you're about to hear today is a story i hope will reach every american, because it's really a story about america, about ordinary american families, about how we face the perils, uncertainties, and tragedies of life, and about how we, as individuals and a nation, come together to heal the wounds of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for all that we hold dear. it's a story

soless so let's unshackle the pentagon. empower those within the pentagon to get the most bang to their bum and this will be the best thing for our entire federal government, for fiskfis stability and i yield back. >> gentleman yields back. the chair now recognizes the gentleman from illinois, mr. schilling for two minutes. >> thank you, chairman. one of the things that i like to point out is we definitely need to proeceed with caution with this. the largest concentration of swirls is in the, in the army material command and the biggers concentration is found in the arsenals and depots, which is our organic base. these workers keep our war fighters safer and the civilians tend to be often less expensive than the contractors. during this time of fiscal constraint, we must choose the best value route for organic base that fits the bill. the arsenal is in my district, rock out on arsenal, a great example of a value. this amendment would lily be detrimental to it and one of the things i use use as an example, back when our war

pits pentagon versus the poor and house votes to spare pentagon from automatic budget cuts trims domestic programs instead. so why is it that elected leaders and the american people don't see eye to eye when it comes to defense spending to talk about this i'm joined by retired retired arnie army colonel douglas macgregor hey douglas so it seems like everyone across the board can agree that you know we need to cut the pentagon why is it that the pentagon is not being cut were a couple reasons the first is this sort of support for bloated defense spending is being a roading for some time the american people have simply walked away from these interventions so this new data is not surprising but there's a second problem and that is that defense spending doesn't necessarily equate to real military capability defense spending is really involved with a lot of redistribution of taxpayer income to various states and districts across the country so while collectively people say by all means cut defense when you begin to look at what's likely to go away people say well wait a minute that's going to

press corps is just that they're the press corps for the pentagon and i know that sounds overstated well they serve the pentagon and they're scared to hurt the feeling that we're getting to step on the toes of the. well after mcchrystal was relieved of his command he was hired by yale university to teach a graduate course and mcchrystal transparency issues didn't end there you see a two thousand and ten documentary about pat tillman the professional football player turned soldier who was killed reignited interest in the crystals role the pentagon covering pentagon cover up surrounding his death now instead of pressuring recruits to be more open about the tillman case and the role that he played with torture squads in iraq while he was commander of jaison yale establishment organ sat on their hands the yale college democrats with through their sponsorship of the tillman story screening when it emerged that the general would join the school's faculty and stanko then the president of the college democrats made a statement that would make any hack blush he said quote the yale college de

i was also surprised by the media's response that it was it was a portion of the media the pentagon media the nest security media there was still this really intense you know hatred among among a few of my colleagues and i think what in the sort of insight i had or what i kind of realized was that the pentagon press corps is just that through the press corps for the pentagon and i know that sounds overstated well they serve the pentagon and they're scared to hurt the feeling that we're getting to step on the toes of the bank. well after mcchrystal was relieved of his command he was hired by yele university to teach a graduate course and mcchrystal transparency issues didn't end there see a two thousand and ten documentary about pat tillman the professional football player turned soldier who was killed reignited interest in the crystals role in the pentagon covering up at the pentagon cover up surrounding his death now instead of pressuring rechristen all to be more open about the tillman case and the role that he played with torture squads in iraq while he was commander of j. fox ya

gain more access to one takes place on the web here's a headline in the washington post today the pentagon expands a cyber security exchange essentially as many as a thousand defense contractors may volunteer to share some previously classified information with the pentagon to try to crack down on cyber threats and according to the washington post this new relationship is being hailed as

is engaged in to oversee so essentially you have and they're also being with the pentagon who really want to get rid of dismissed months amendment which is the original regional kind of law that this is overturning so you have a descent of assault on the u.s. population one could describe it by by these two branches of government that traditionally should be focused or are supposed to be focused on our national defense and overseas both using the resources on on the home front. now you know some people would say that maybe this isn't that big of a deal anymore they say that in the internet age what does that really matter because you can go look online and probably read something that is meant for foreign audiences but you can read it from here at home and then people start to get all confused because you don't necessarily know who it's intended for and in that case if it's propaganda which i want to get into that i'm going to how do you know if it's true and so you know does the internet make bands like this obsolete. well that's part of the argument the proponents are making is tha

pits pentagon versus the poor and house votes to spare punt pentagon from automatic budget cuts trims domestic programs instead. so why is it that elected leaders and the american people aren't seeing eye to eye when it comes to defense spending to discuss this i'm joined by the man who wrote this book michael o'brien is the author of america's failure in iraq and he's here to help me follow the money. michael you know it seems like americans all across the board can agree that cutting the pentagon is really something they want to see why is this not having i mean our congress completely bought out by defense contractors and that's probably the main reason. there's a lot of reasons but that would have to be the biggest one. you know the term the military industrial complex. we've really heard it for the first time when and why eisenhower gave his farewell address to the nation in one thousand nine hundred sixty one right before he with the white house and it was because he was afraid of the strength the power of a companies that had built weapons and supported our military during the

and his departure from the pentagon in 1968, as much i think as lbj's march 31st speech of that year marked the glorious end of an era once bright with promise. as the war provoked increasingly nasty divisions in the united states, mcnamara became a target for critics from both left and right. unaware of his muted tightly constrained and largely internalized descent, doves viewed him as the technocrat as his blind faith in technology and statistics plunged the united states into a destructive quagmire. hawks, on the other hand, announced with growing venom his alleged refusal to give the military the freedom and the means to win a war, in their view, imminently winnable. in my experience, talking with veterans over the last 40 years, only the name jane fonda is likely to provoke more anger than that of robert mcnamara. the publication of his memoir in 1995, and his admission that in his words we were wrong, terribly wrong, ignited the war over the war yet again. for both sides once more raising the issue of how the secretary of defense could have stuck with a war he had come to see a

it's waifl and would be really hard -- waysful and would be really hard to the pentagon. we could do tradeoffs to get efficiency. >> i don't think sequestration is going to happen. i may be an outlier in this group by saying that. i think it's unlikely. what is likely is that moving this agenda to the right each year on defense is that defense will go down significantly more than the $500 billion secretary panetta thinks he's put out over 10 years. that's the bottom line. whether it's fast or slow, it's going down. >> primarily military leaders will tell you that their expectation is that there's several hundred potentially significant reductions, you know, $300, some suggest, more to come, it's just that they want to do it on their terms and not have it shoved down their throat. >> i think that's what will happen, but it'll only happen in the context of a bigger agreement. >> i want to give todd an opportunity here. >> the other thing too is even if sequestration does happen, it can be reversed by congress >> so it's not an all-or- nothing game here. it could be a tempor

and there is no guarantee the pentagon is going to necessarily do what we say. we've been talking with them on all kinds of different things. we found the helicopter problem with our medevac helicopters. you can talk to them and say you want a report and you want them to do this and that. they don't do it. so this thing has no teeth. the proposal i had was simply saying by march if they don't have something by march of '13, this is december of '12, then it's going the start cutting into their funds. what you're doing here is effectively just saying well, we really want this and you really should do this, but there is no real teeth in it. and as far as hurting the perception of the program, i forget what your phrase was, that it's undermining confidence in the program. it's just simply saying we need to have some specific dates so we know how to run what our requirements for joint strike fighters or different fighter aircraft, we need some sort of thing to plan on. and you're not doing that. but anyway, i understand that this amendment will probably pass. i just

the budget for the pentagon calling for $554 billion plus $88 billion for the war in afghanistan. the budget would cut the service by -- cut military personnel by 21,000 and give service member as 1.7% pay raise. committees in recess for lunch and votes on the house floor. live kov rouge when they resume. we spoke positive a reporter earlier who has been covering today the markup session for details on what's happened so far and what's ahead. >> joining us is mark oliveri, a defense and foreign policy reporter with congressional quarterly. what are some of biggest issues the committee has to deal with in this 2013 programs bill? >> well, i'm sorry. i didn't hear your question. i think you asked the big issues they're dealing with. what they've actually dealt with, pretty big things. congressman turner was able to get an amendment passed or adopted here that essentially would provide $160 million for the execution of what's called a chemistry and metallurgy replacement over los alamos. it's a program that the obama administration would like to delay, because it's a significant amou

the waste, fraud, and abuse at the pentagon, the wasteful weapon systems at the pentagon. i will tell you, i don't care what leon panetta says, there's savings to be found in the pentagon budget. we ought to go after that. we ought to make sure that donald trump pays his fair share in taxes and ought to close these corporate tax loopholes that allow corporations to get away with paying no taxes. middle income families can't do that. this is about fairness. that's what we are looking for. fairness and balance. this is a tough time. rather than following the european model which my friends seem to love of as you taret and cut, cut, cut -- and austerity and cut, cut, cut, we should invest in a robust highway bill to put people back to work, investing in education making sure our young people are compared to compete in the 21st century economy. and yes, investing in a social safety net and investing in programs that provide a circle of protection to the poor and most vulnerable. there is nothing wrong with that. we should be proud of the fact that we are a country that cares .

the pentagon papers was a very indicative moment. i tried to find some way to some of their relationship in the book. they go back and forth and people are expecting that kay graham was in love with ben bradlee. ultimately, that's not the case, and it was their contract and it worked. in 1995, kay threw him a book party when his memoir came out, a good life. it will make you see how much i had to leave out any 472 page book. at the end of the party, he realized that he hadn't given ka book yet. kay graham, his boss, the woman who paid him and maybe we'll wealthy man out of him. he wrote her a note and he wrote this. catherine, you have been the most important force in my life. you have been a joyous partner who makes my heart weep every time i see you. there's nothing i can change that. not even my own momentary selfishness. the party with such a generous gesture. your words were so graceful and welcome. we everything about you comes across to me. love, then. i think that is a wonderful foundation and dissemination of who they were a

they are gathering at the pentagon and will roll into d.c.on. >>> the police found the body of a man and his afternoon and two children. police suspect foul play. right now they are looking for the suspect. >>> there's a memorial in front of the building with pedro hernandez says he killed the 6-year-old patz. the body of the boy has never been found. >>> firefighters were able to contain the blaze, but are looking for hot spots now. the fire forced the florida highway patrol to close the state patrol for a few hours on friday. >>> tornado season is in full effect as kansas dealt with six twisters ripping through the state. crews are working to restore electricity, and it went out friday night because of the storms. one person was injured, and other than that it appears everybody else in the area is okay. officials are still assessing the full range of damage in the area. despite summer not officialy starting for a few weeks, temperatures are already here. a marching band had to stop early because some were suffering from heat exhaustion. >>>

so let's unshackle the pentagon.et's empower those up in the pentagon to get the most bang for the buck and this will be the best thing for the entire federal government for fiscal responsibility and also hope to use the economy. i support mr. train for his amendment, cheney met for readership in this area and i yield back. >> gentlemen yields back in the chair recognizes mr. schilling for two minutes. >> thank you, chairman. one of the things i like to point out is because they need to proceed with caution with this. the largest concentration of civilians in the army is the nature of command and the biggest concentration is found in the arsenals in the depots, which is our organic base. workers keep or fighter safe and civilians hurt -- tend to be often less expensive than the contractors. during this time of fiscal constraint we must choose the best value for the organic is that fits the bill. the arsenal and manchester prufrock island arsenal is a great example of the value in this amendment would be detrimental t

the pentagon has gone an enormous eating spree over the last decade and has grown enormous. and this conversation about what is it for has not taken place. yes, we haven't had a conversation among nato allies about why we should be cutting this or cutting that. but we also haven't had a conversation about why we ever spent this money in the first place. that i think is the question that we should be -- the conversation we should be having. right now, here in the united states, we have basically throw approaches to the obesity problem facing nato and u.s. spending. and the three options are basically this. and they were alluded to in the last panel, and i'll just go over them very briefly. essentially, the republicans have laid out various options for eating more. in other words, the house has offered a proposal to add $4 billion on top of what the pentagon has asked for. they have put forward an alternative to sequestration. i won't go into that. mitt romney says we should spend $2.1 trillion more over what the obama administration has laid out. $2.1 trillion more. not cutti

. >> i talked with thomas, his wife was killed at the pentagon on 9/11. he said he stayed behind because the trial hasn't even started yet, and he says none of the court proceedings will bring his wife back. >> it's not going to change anything. >> thomas's wife michelle was on flight 77 that crashed into the pentagon. she died just of their 30th wedding anniversary. >> not just a lover, but my best friend. >> a long legal process. >> we're now in many respects having to relive that day. you've had 3,000 families who are having to relive the months, the days, even the years of pain and suffering. >> the trial could still be months away. >> i would be naive if i said it didn't affect me. it affects us all, whether you lost somebody that day or whether you didn't. >> after the loss of his wife, he helped build a pentagon memorial as one of the projects board of directors. since 9/11, michelle has missed their daughter's marriage, the birth of their grandchild and other milestones. he has also remarried. >> on a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. i think

they met here at the pentagon. they met of course in israel last fall, and they have met in canada. so they have a very good working relationship. and the clear message that these meetings send is that we have an unwavering commitment to the security of israel. that's reflected across the range of challenges that we both confront, and of course you saw the announcement on iron dome today which signals our continued commitment to israeli missile defense capabilities. while i can't get into the specifics of their discussion, i can say that they over the course of their dialogue over the past several months have discussed global and regional security challenges. and i think that reflects their discussion today. on the issue of pakistan and the discussions we're having with the pakastanis on the ground lines of communication, those discussions continue. and i don't want to get into the specifics at this stage, but we remain hopeful that the ground supply routes will remain open. and of course that's very important we believe to our effort in afghanistan. our supplies are sound, and the

so if we were to force the pentagon to do this, we can set the date. so we're not actually accomplishing a great deal with the underlying amendment. so this is a simple way of saying, yes, the committee is still very focused on making sure we get to initial operating capability. but hopefully do so in a way that doesn't send the wrong message about the program. we are, for better or worse, committed to the program. we have to keep up the pressure and make sure it gets delivered and keeps the capability. continue to say we need initial operating capability. this eliminating the threat and continues to make clear to get back on schedule. i yield back. >> i agree with everything that the rank members say. this future will be 95% of our air fighter force. it's important we get it right. is there any further debate on the amendment? >> mr. chairman, yes. i would like to talk about the substitute amendment. >> well the substitute amendment, essentially if you take it at face value, it's saying we're going to get an ioc date not later then 2031. i'm requestin

the fact that pentagon can't be expected to deal with this problem by itself. there must be much more radical surgical solutions to this problem. it's not just a partisan thing. of course, you know, tom colburn, republican, rather conservative republican came out way proposal over the summer to cut $1 trillion in military spending. which i thought was quite remarkable. we, at the institute for policy studies where i work put out the unified security budget where we come up with a detailed list of not only the cuts that we think can be made without endangering the security. we have to repeat that. without endangering the security of the united states, but also where the money could be usefully applied to promote non-military approaches, to resolving conflicts. beefing up, in other words, various existing structures within the state department and other parts of the u.s. government. and, of course, i haven't heard anybody refer to the poll done recently, just a week ago, maybe, but a project for international policy, attitudes in several, and two other polling fi

so we're now in a situation where gao is telling us that the cost of 2005 was tripled with the pentagon projected when they came out with their initial proposal back then that the saving won't be until 2018 outside of the fit-up that we're dealing with right now and i think mr. whitman's proposal is totally justified in terms of the fact that we still have not been given any coherent explanation about how a brac round fits within the budget control act with any reasonable horizon of savings, and the hearings that we held as a committee to try and illicit that information basically came up with zero. so this idea of another brac round, frankly, requires a lot more, well, study and also feedback to this committee, which i think has the responsibility in the wake of 2005 not to just issue the green light and allow another process to go forward when, again, i think the confidence level of many of us and certainly the public is very low, based on the experience that we just went through and, again, i just want to say that the folks who sat on that commission in 2005 were, again, shielded fro

pentagon officials say they don't need it.emocrats argue at an estimated $5 million it's too costly -- a billion dollars in this economy. new approved u.s. defense budget that includes money to build this missile system. the question is, why now? by now we have all seen the video of the smifl shield test on the west coast. this is new video of what we are told was a successful ship based test that happened yesterday off hawaii. the east coast system would be land based. the chief supporter of this plan is the ohio republic congressman mike turner. he argues we need this shield. to protect against possible threats from north korea and iran. at the pentagon they are unusually happy -- they are usually happy to see budget increases but today not really. jennifer griffin is at the pentagon with more. what are the arguments for and against this east coast based missile defense shield. >> republicans say they are worried the president has plans to cut missile defense in light of his hot mike moment at the russian president recently

. >>> here's a live look at the pentagon briefing room where we're expect defense secretary leon panetta and join chiefs of staff martin dempsey. this is expected to get under way momentarily and we'll have it for you live here on c-span3. >>> also, jicht so you know, a little later today at 5:00 p.m. eastern here on c-span3 we'll have a conversation on u.s./russia relations. president obama shoefting a g-8 suchlt at camp david and russia's newly sworn-in president vladimir putin is skipping the meeting busy stabilizing his new captain and is sending medvedev in his place. the center for strategic and international studies will begin live here on c-span3 at 5:00 p.m. eastern. >>> and while we wait for the pentagon briefing to get under way, another capitol hill briefing from house minority leader nancy pelosi. this morning she sent president obama's endorsement of same-sex marriage, filled my heart with joy and doesn't think it will hurt democrats in november. >>> good morning. yesterday was quite historic. all of us, america's children and families and workers saw history being made rig

taking bogus defectors the information from him giving him to the pentagon and the iraqi national congress then giving him to the journalists and they said if you don't believe us iraqi national congress call the pentagon so you have the circular reporting and you had the new york times admitting that it was using one source for all of its information and weapons of mass destruction and it was you know self affirming by going to the pentagon which to put this stuff on paper it was. a lot of exaggerations partial information sometimes the whole information but on balance a very one sided view of iraq's w m d program and a lot of these stories the journalist didn't want to look into because the editors told them to run with it we're going to be supportive of the administration it's the patriotic thing to do i think that there was on the part of the media too much of of in a sense getting into the upcoming war and not enough look at do we really need to go there were some journalists out there raising the alarm bells the seymour hersh is the walter pincus of the world but unfortunately those

no immediate confirmation from the pentagon on that which usually does not publicly acknowledge that strike said he would. give fox a little bit of props for at least spending ten seconds bringing it up but of course is only because we supposedly got eleven bad guys which the pentagon won't even really confirm i didn't see any of the other cable networks even blink about this story today and if you ask me that's a problem and it's a problem because we've learned increasingly especially over the last few weeks about the growth of our shadow war in gamut from the cia signature strikes being approved by the white house to this whole underwear bomber plot two point zero fiasco but it's no coincidence that just weeks after the cia's drone program is expanded we suddenly see a lot more drone strikes happening and don't forget that think interest rates are the ones where they don't even need to know exactly who they're targeting it just has to look like suspicious behavior the point is that yemen is now a hot spot it's turning into the new was era staton everybody just kind of takes it in s

billion from medicare medicaid food stamps and other welfare programs are you think of the pentagon might actually be pleased by this measure right after all secretary of defense leon panetta warned that sequestration would be devastating he even called it a dooms day mechanism but as it turns out panetta says meant maybe it wasn't exactly what republicans had expected take a look. the department of defense and i believe the administration are not going to support the dish will fund them at the expense of other critical national security priorities. and if members try to restore their favorite programs without regard to an overall strategy the cuts will have to come from areas that could impact overall readiness. there's no free lunch or. there is no free lunch. that's right not only could republican politicking harm america's most vulnerable but is throwing a wrench in carefully crafted pentagon plans and adding to the national debt even panetta pointed out the deficit the deficit could harm national security in the long haul and he was particularly upset by these pet projects thin

>> my recollection is that mcnamara started to work on the pentagon papers well before he left, that he got him to run the show and it was intended an examination of the history of the vietnam war, essentially. and i think the papers themselves are pretty honest and straightforward attempt to get at that. the way they've been used both by opponents and defenders and it is another matter. yeah, it was part of the same sort of thought processes that animated his trips to vietnam in 1997, to learn what things went wrong and what might have been done differently. i think the exact date, in the spring/summer '67, wasn't it? >> yes. and it's for the reason that secretary brown, mcnamara wanted to know how we got into this mess. and the one problem with the pentagon papers, the documentation, the department of defense documentation, you don't really know what the white house is saying. and you are missing the key strategic level, and you really need that component to appreciate what defense is saying. because a lot of times, defense is making recommendations that no one in their right mind
