it can interfere with the powerpoint and the applications that we very much appreciate you doing that. alright? okay, thank you. there will be time for professor andrew's presentation and there will be time for q&a and we will ensure there is time for a book signing for those who came for that as well, and the books can be purchased in the back. last thursday, the shooting at ft. hood royal the country and they highlighted once again the challenge we face in coping with even identifying islamic extremists. in great britain that task would be undertaken to a large extent by mi5 and for many americans, mi5 is a rather mysterious part of the fbi, part cia but in the end a uniquely british institution. there was consideration after the 9/11 commission recommendation were delivered to creating and mi5 in this country. in the end the decision was made to expand the fbi's existing national security decision. now, to mark this centenary of mi5's founding in 1909, christopher andrew was selected to write his authorized history. that is the first time this has been done by any leading intellige

i've known how long time and we qaeda him about his 92 sleight powerpoint that he develops.but it's all a not kidding because what an incredible talent that we have benefited from for many years at nea. his ability to read digest and bring to all the rest of us the absolute, incredible amount of information through all of this statute is amazing. he always -- if they put out new regulations one day the next day joel can do a powerpoint. she is that good. [laughter] he knew all of it. yeah, he's good at that. i was thinking this morning, december, 2009, december, 2008. now i don't know exactly what i expected would come during the next year, but i know it wasn't this. i never in my anticipation of what could be during this first year of the obama administration and just the environment i didn't anticipate this. this economic crisis even a year ago today what we were talking about compared to our current reality we didn't say those things. the intensity and impact on individuals and state and local government is so amazing. i would guess most of us now know someone personally,

and i literally had a powerpoint presentation. i did four town hall meetings, carney, grand island, lexington, lincoln, and i put these principles up. and one of the principles was no carve outs, no backroom deals, no special deals. and i presented that to the people that were at those town hall meetings. i did tons of interviews. i explained why i felt the way i did. and people were so irate at the possibility that nevada was going to get this special deal. now, since then i think that's fallen to the wayside. but all of these other things have come along. that's why i read the lincoln journal star editorial. this is an editorial page that sometimes likes what i'm doing and sometimes it does not. and over the years they have not hesitated to take me to task. but they looked at this and they said, since when is nebraska -- has nebraska become synonymous cynical, what's in it for me-type politics. they went on and said, it's time to hit the reset button. we're not getting this right at all. we simply are not getting it right. and t

there must be in law somewhere where you are not allowed to get a briefing in the military without powerpoint. there were command staff. there were lots of people that clearly had the military command authority in the area. but they turned over the discussion of the log cap contract to a woman, a civilian, in a room. and they turned it over to her because she was the one that was trying to make the trains run on time and knew all lot about it. she showed the contract by year. as many of you remember, the first year of the contract, it wildly exceeded the contract by billions of dollars. i cannot remember now, but my recollection was the first year was $18 billion. the original estimate was less than $1 billion. then she showed a borrower graph of the years and you shot a big drop after the first year to the next year and then it leveled out. it was a huge amount of money. she got to the presentation and you could tell she was nervous. so i was trying to help corporate i was trying to be kind. -- and i was trying to be kind. and i said to her, you left out what you all did to bring that contra

men and women carrying out this military civilian mission are not members of a list or items on a powerpointour friends and neighbors, our sons and daughters, our brothers and sisters and we will be asking them and the american people to make extraordinary sacrifices on behalf of our security. i want to assure this committee that i know it takes its oversight responsibility so seriously. that we will do everything we can to make sure their sacrifices are honored and make our nation safer. the situation in afghanistan and pakistan is serious. but it is not in my view as negative as frequently portrayed in public. and the beginning of president karzai's second term has opened a new window of opportunity. we have real concerns about the influence of corrupt officials in the afghan government and we'll continue to pursue them. but in his inauguration speech last week that i was honored to attend, i witnessed the new call for a compact with his country. he pledged to combat corrupt, improve glompb nans and deliver for the people of his country. his words were long in coming but they were welcome.
