>> we can, sir. i just met with officials of the american jewish committee last week who are very complementary of the relationship that we have with the jewish community in this regard. as i think i mentioned to you, congressman, my great-grandfather was a baptist preacher in southwest virginia near roanoke little town on the virginia-tennessee line called bristol. and back in the turn of the century 115 years ago a lot of that being a baptist preacher in that part of the world meant breaking up the occasional lynching attempt. so i appreciate the importance of your question, sir. >> and i appreciate your service. thank you, sir. i yield back. >> chair thanks the gentleman and recognizes the gentleman from arizona mr. king for five minutes -- i mean mr. franks for five minutes. >> you've insulted both of us mr. chairman. thank you, sir. secretary johnson, a report from the national academy of sciences places, quote, an estimate of $1 to $2 trillion during the first year alone for the societal and ec

>> yes, sir. >> so your challenge in costa rica is quite different than kabul, afghanistan? >> not only that, but our challenge in kabul afghanistan, is different from month and month and has changed substantially in the course of our mission. >> speaking of which, when mr. lynch and i traveled together to kabul several years ago, we stayed on the compound, but i think there were like little wooden buildings that we stayed in, but they certainly weren't reenforced. we were on the embassy compound. at least at that time we weren't overly concerned about our personal security. there had been some lobbing of grenades or rocket shells into the compound as i recall, but not while we were there. we weren't, as i said either that or maybe the embassy wasn't overly concerned about members of congress being overly secure. i don't know. has the situation deteriorated such that we are now concerned about that in kabul? >> i'll start and ask mr. starr to continue. the security situation in kabul has substanti

i'm aware of that sir. >> we're losing. we're losing for reasons of the due process clause of the constitution. >> so maybe you need us to help out a little bit. >> frankly, we were losing with a lot of the jurisdiction passing laws saying thou shall not cooperate with i.c.e. which led to something i think we are correcting now. >> well if at any time you need the legislation to help you in that direction please contact us. i want to switch to another situation here particularly in my direct but it is happening across the u.s. last year, the u.s. censusing commission promulgated a amendment 782 which reduce the base offense level for drug trafficking by two levels. the amendment was made retroactive and as a result more than 10,000 drug trafficking offenders will be released early from prison beginning on november 1st of this year. and i have in front of me just this -- this pertains to the middle district. there will be 68 people released between november 1st, 2016, and december 31, 2016, and many more after 2016. and as t

is that correction sir? >> no, nuth toog do with that. >> my apologies. >> that's fine. our community has serious concerns regarding the relocation. since the dda was approved by the board sev sl years ago, sirs it was determine we would only move once the land was cleaned bought and handed over as a single unit from the navvy. now we are city residence and we'll move back to to federal land and moves all these right because we are moving city jurisdiction back to federal jurisdiction and then on top of that we have the housing affordsability crisis which makes the relocation payments inadequate in the cernt time for most families. then we also have concerns in that we do not rights as a community to return to where we live today and that is distressing as a community. we would like the right to return to affordable housing that we have today and in the future when the island is redeveloped. ; so to summarize please we would like to see if you can provide temporary relocation as well as a right of return for the residence of [inaudible] to our island when it is redevelop

>> no, sir. we found that they degauzed tapes before, they degauzed the lerner 424 tapes, and they degauzed tapes afterwards. and they were degauzing tapes up until about june of 2013. >> now you mentioned a little earlier there was some type of directive that they did not know about. is that what you said? >> yes, sir, i did. >> so you're saying this was not something to obstruct our investigation or block information intentionally from getting to us? >> the directive was issued by the irs chief technology officer. >> right. >> and in his directive he was advising his management team to stop destroying -- in essence stop destroying electronic backups and evidence. he issued that directive in may 2013. >> uh-huh. and you never answered my question though. >> i'm sorry. >> the people who actually did the degauzing, you're saying that they did not -- they weren't intentionally trying to stop information from getting to us? >> as far as -- absolutely correct. the investigation did not show they had

>> no, sir. they found it is of significant concern. >> does it contribute environmental problems for instance, damage to plants and visibility and other effects. >> no. we have not realized how much damage it actually causeses. >> so if anything, research over the years has confirmed that o zone is a health risk and an environmental problem. is that correct as a statement? >> yes. have past standards been criticized on the basis of their projected costs and benefits? >> always. >> i think your testimony points out that we have been able to achieve cleaner air and grow the economy as we have strengthened the standards, is that correct? >> that is correct. >> any reason to believe that we cannot keep that record going? >> none. they have the flexibility and discretion to determine how they might meet new standards in the most cost-effective way. >> that is exactly the choice we're giving them. yes. >> the climate change has the potential to exacerbate existing health conditions such as asthma and

>> yes, sir. i just want you to understand been pretty busy over the last year but my strategy going forward is to really start looking out and having some more conversations with the airline industry, airline ceos, some of the law enforcement association groups and things like that. so more discussion but i am going to look into that and make sure if that is happening -- it needs to be reported. that's misuse of position and it shouldn't be happening. >> it does need to be reported. and in your position a lot of us come from different backgrounds, ministry, law, business. and a general manager doesn't necessarily know how to do every specific position underneath the scope of the country but as an overseer, are you able to get caught up on all the different things going on or are you overwhelmed with the specific tasks you should be accomplishing? >> i assure you mr. congressman, i am not overwhelmed. i've got the right staff. >> okay. >> i'm not immersed in the day-to-day business. to the degree

>> well no, sir. i support what we have proposed and what we've been -- >> but you just said it's helpful. >> yes, sir. clarity is always helpful. but cooperation and working with our state and local partners something i've always done, i will continue to do it and i'm committed to see it through with respect to these jurisdictions that haven't been working with us. >> it is difficult to work in an administration where you're required to take a position where although something would be in your own words helpful, you nonetheless don't support it. let me shift to a different topic. in the year 2013 how many criminal illegal aliens did the obama administration release? >> in '14 it was a little over 30,000. >> how many murderers? >> in that year sir, i can't remember the number right now but i know that we had the statistic that was said earlier, the four-year period from 2010 to 2014 that there were 121 persons who committed crimes afterwards. but i can provide you the exact number. >> how many rapists

>> yes, sir. >> these fluctuating staff levels must have exacerbated the space challenges experienced by the kabul embassy. is that correct? >> sir, that's absolutely correct. as we noted the department has tried to be flexible to surge our number of both state and other agency colleagues when the pill tear surge took place and now to draw down to a sustainable level. we have been looking at environments in afghanistan we have tried to find the best diplomatic diplomatic. >> what about the overseas building on oh radiations? how did that go into building the kabul embassy? i'm curious to see your answer on that. >> i would say it impacted the -- >> can you put your mic up? >> i would say it impacted the project pretty dramaticalliment ta said we knew we were operating in an environment where we would be trying to adjust to changes. given the constraints, the time we had, we moved forward with awarding the ro project as quickly as we could and incorporate aring changes as quickly as you could. in a

jordan: yes, sir. -- secretary johnson: yes, sir. rep. jordan: and then it was an action that blocks what was outlined in your memo. is that correct? secretary johnson: yes sir. rep. jordan: then your counsel represented the court saying that no application would be accepted until the 18th of february 2015. is that correct? secretary johnson: i do not know exactly what the cola liquid was g. rep. jordan: regardless of what it was, the representation that no applications would be accepted until the 18th of february turned out to be wrong. is that accurate, mr. johnson? that representation made and from the court was not accurate. secretary johnson: like i said i do not know exactly how was said. we began issuing three-year renewals consistent with the policy. it was on the face of the policy. rep. jordan: let me read what the judge said. your counsel actually filed an advisor with the court clarifying that even though you said he would not accept applications and it would not be revised that they, in fact, were up to 100,000. here is what

sir arena beat her sister to get here. first set tied at four, williams with the great shot. off balance and then smashs. the volley. she wents first set, 6 to 4 here for the champion point moves, gets her running but can't finish her off. out of bounds she wins and completes the slam. she now holds all four majors. won 20 straight matches and slams for 21st title of all times. sixth wimbleton and may be the best ever at this point. >> the moment is still setting in a little bit. i'm just really excited about it. i didn't want to talk about this this slam and honestly wouldn't have thought last year after winning the us open i would win the slam at all. i knew i wanted to win wimbleton last year out of all the grand slams. it was the one i hand we want. i really wanted to win wimbleton. it happened, just amazing. feels really, really good. >> reporter: the teams in flea stink. the only team had that can make anything interesting is the eagles, but we're a couple months away from football season. what's going to happen in the football the philadelphia soul only good team in th

yes, sir? >> with cnn, were the guns purchased legally? have you been able to determine that? >> again, we -- we are continuing to explore those possibilities. some of the weapons were purchased legally and some of them may not have been. we will examine that. yes, ma'am? >> since this is now considered an act of terrorism, do you -- to the area and be concerned? >> okay. let me clarify your statement. and the question and i probably need to repeat the questions. i think the question is since it's classified as an act of terrorism is there any concern for others in the community. we have not classified as an act of terrorism. what we have decided or what we have determined is that we'll treat it as an act of terrorism until it is determined one way or another as to whether it was an act of terrorism or some other criminal event. we don't believe anyone else is in danger in the chattanooga community. we continue to explore all options as far as other individuals who may or may not be involved. h

>> no, sir. they found it is increasingly of concern. >> does it contribute less to other environmental problems? for instance, damage to plants visibility, and other effects? >> no. we're realizing just how much damage it actually causes. >> so if anything research over the years has confirmed that ozone is a health risk and an environmental problem. is that correct? >> yes. have past standards been criticized on the basis of their projected costs and benefits? >> always. >> i think your testimony points out that we have been able to achieve cleaner air act grow the economy as we have strengthened the standards. is that correct? >> that is correct. >> any reason to believe we cannot keep that record going? >> none. >> will the states have flexibility to determine how they might meet new standards in the most cost effective way? >> that is exactly the choice we are giving them. >> climate change also has the potential to exacerbate existing health conditions such as asthma and impact vulnerable p

>> yes, sir. >> so why do we need -- >> why do we need what? >> why do we need nepalese then? if they're all proficient in the language, why was this an issue? >> let me just say this. it's a requirement and not every nepalese gerka on our post can read the washington post from first page to the back page. i think that as a matter of policy and procedure and human rights we should have the posting of passports in nepal. i don't question for a minute we should have it from day one. we will now going forward. anything we communicate to the nepalese we do it both in english as well as the nepalese including their contracts, their employment contracts >> thank the chairman for additional time, and i yield back. >> thank you. now recognize mr. cummings for five minutes. >> thank you very much mr. chairman. i'd like to discuss the examination of two construction contracts at the kabul embassy. the first one was in 2009 and the second was awarded in 2010 to a different contractor, that's correct? >> that

yes, sir -- triad, yes, sir. mr. reed: thank you.one of the other areas which gives us an edge is the labs and the test facilities and the intellectual infrastructure of the navy. it's all over the country. we have the warfare center in newport. but there's so many criticals a ects -- aspects of -- critical aspects of this. particularly in these difficult budgetary times, do you have any concerns about appropriate funding for the laboratories and will we lose out in terms of their contribution to national security? mr. richardson: sir, i think it's absolutely crit that we -- critical that we maintain this intellectual capital to inform our decisions today and into the future. addressing your concern that programs like ohio replacement replain -- remain tuned and relevant going forward. it's absolutely critical that we fund this so that we can re main relevant. also look forward to participating in discussions that can make them more agile and competitive with their private sector counterparts as well. mr. reed: a final point. i think

>> i stated in my verbal testimony, sir. the issue with fisma the old 2002 law was that tchsit was really around technical controls that would be then checked every three years. given the environment we live in, that is just not even close to being appropriate. and we're moving to a continuous diagnostics kind of model, which is the correct model where you're monitoring all of your systems and monitoring your complete environment, looking for intrusions looking for improper behaviors. but i would even echo the point that even that is not enough in today's environment. you need to bring in the data protection like the encryption capabilities, and you need to upgrade the capabilities to better understand who is actually accessing your system. those are all critical necessities in order to protect data today. >> was it -- would it be reasonable for us to have expected opm could achieve a data security given the resources they currently have available to them? >> i'm not sure i'm in a good position to answer that question. i'll

>> no, sir. >> -- in the outcome -- >> no, sir. >> -- without knowing the raw data -- >> no, sir. >> that went -- you're not asking us to trust that? >> no, sir. what i am -- i -- clearly, i read about instances where science has been manipulated. >> correct. >> and that is why we work through an independent peer-reviewed body to be able to provide us advice. they don't have -- >> what about us? i mean, we are elected. your peer review process are not elected by the people to watch out for their interests. we are elected by -- >> you just -- >> excuse me one moment. >> i am sorry. >> we are elected by the people to make sure their interests are being watched out for. you are asking us to trust that someone who is appointed rather than trying to look at whatever data is used for these decision makings yourself. and -- >> there's no trust me about it, sir. you've given me a job that this government has provided the structure by which i do my job, including looking at science. >> the structure that

. >> thank you, thank you both of you i'm not concerned about who is right or wrong sir, you mentioned you're all right short a significant amount in salaries can you reiterate what that number is. >> right if you - here i'll put it up on the screen here all right. as you can see here that we if our attrition is increased our salaries are decreased and if look at those are the 9 positions of individuals resigning retiring or leaving the department and as you can see our targeted amount of attrition is $706,000 plus the projected deficit before the budget analyst recommendation is going to be $400,000 plus so day one july 1st i've already got to begin to save that $400,000 i will but if you add again the 2 hundred 6701 to that state will increase you know is deficit in salary savings i don't want to come back we've work hard with kate howard and the mayor's office mayors budget analyst to determine the correct amount of savings supervisor farrell was the chair of the committee and told me you better not be back here for a supplemental we've at the time e set the attrition and i'm here t

>> yes, sir, i would. i agree that the common thread through these things is the oxford staged technology. however, i would say -- i mean we've worked on methane, we have worked on mathain since the 60s and built a number of different devices, none of which has flown yet. methane is probably important for mars missions when you are dealing with landers and things like that where you want to make your propellant in space. in terms of the difference though between a methane and a kerosene engine for a booster, the oxford is the same but the fuels, kerosene is characterized and the ability to run kerosene in an ox rich environment is characterized. the russians have perfected this technology over decades. i'm confident we can do that with methane but it will take time. it took russians time to get where they are and we understand that. and we have built off of that and studied that technology for 20 years and i believe this can be done for methane but i think the time frame is quite a bit longer. >> can anyon

>> yes, sir, we did. >> okay. when was she informed that the tapes had potential e-mails of interest from lois lerner. >> i believe she had already departed the internal revenue service when we obtained the e-mails off the tape. >> did she take any action to stop the destruction of tapes? >> not to our knowledge, she did not. >> but she knew the e-mails of interest were there? >> she could have known and she certainly should have looked. >> you just said she did know. was she reprimanded in any way. >> i'm not aware if she was reprimanded, sir. >> do you know if -- you said a moment ago she is no longer with the irs. do you have any idea if she stepped down from her position willfully or pressured in any way or potentially running from criminal charges herself? >> i don't have that information other than she left the internal revenue service. >> on her own? >> on her own. >> thank you mr. chairman. >> now recognize the gentleman from north carolina, mr. walker, for five minutes. >> thank you mr. chairman.

secretary saldana: yes, sir. senator sessions: i think we have a serious problem here and i believe it's directly from the top of this administration and i believe you have been directed to carry out administration policies. when you are asked about the sanctuary city reform, senator grassley said, you said absolutely, amen. and the next day did you have a conversation with someone and decided to change your statement on that? secretary saldana: as i said before, senator, truly, my response was a straight out law enforcement response. what i did the next day was to clarify. i am not going against what we have, all our efforts in establishing and now implementing the p.e.p. program. we want to work with those jurisdictions. that's what i have always done is try to set up relationships with -- senator sessions: i agree. united states attorney, you gave a law enforcement response. which is this is unacceptable. every jurisdiction in america that i know of participates in a detainer policy that honors detainers from
