goldwater nichols was perhaps the most consequential defense reform since the creation of the department of defense. and while the world has changed profoundly since 1986, the basic organization of the department of defense, as well as the roles and missions of its major civilian and military actors, has not changed all that much since goldwater nichols. it must be asked, is a 30-year-old defense organization equal to our present and future national security challenges? i want to be clear. this is a forward looking effort. our task is to determine whether the department of defense and our armed forces are set up to be maximally successful and our current and future national security challenges. we will be guided in this effort by the same principles that inspired past defense reform efforts including goldwater nichols, enhancing civilian control of the military, improving military advice, operational effectiveness, and joint officer management, and providing for a better use of defense resources among others. this oversight initiative is not a set of solutions in search of problems. we w

companion bli bills the defense appropriations bill. i've included language in the appropriations bill that instructs the air force to look at private-sector led training. my hope is that between that language and what we're passing in this authorization bill, the air force will find a way to leverage the private sector to enhance what the air force can do with its r.p.a. fleet, meaning a higher ops tempo and at the same time training new pilots and bringing them into the system. finally, i would like to highlight a couple of items that are important to north dakota specifically. one is an amendment i offered during floor consideration of the ndaa here in the senate. this language directs the air force to determine the feasibility of partnering the air national guard with the active duty air force to operate and maintain the global hawk. similar to what it does in support of the predator and reaper mission, i believe the air national guard can provide a valuable contribution to the global hawk missions. i'm very grateful that the confere

first, the defense brought up the original suspect, abbass esfehani.l recall he was the victim's former boyfriend, described as hot-tempered, who made a hasty return to iran in the days after the murder. esfehani's fingerprints were found on the banister leading up to the murder scene. >> i'm telling you straight out, the guy was cold about it. >> and the exchange student's former roommate remembered a strange reaction when esfehani discussed cheryl miller's death. >> i remember saying to him, you're acting as if nothing even happened. >> okay. >> it was really -- it was shocking to me that he could care less. >> what do you think really happened to cheryl miller? >> well, i think the most plausible theory, in my opinion, is that abbass esfehani was the one that committed the crime. they were lovers. they had just broken up a week before. she had called her parents -- this is in police records -- a very bad blowout. >> what do you think happened? >> well, miss miller was not only beautiful, but she was very bold. and mr. esfehani was from a country cul

the defense authorization bill that we're considering changes the emphasis of the department of defense from administration to operations which will help ensure that our military personnel receive the training they need and are ready to meet any threats that arise. this bill also overhauls our military retirement system. the current miment retirement system -- military retirement system limits benefits to soldiers who served for 20 years or more which does not apply to 83% of those who served including veterans of the wars in iraq and afghanistan. the national defense authorization act replaces this system with a modern retirement system that would extend retirement benefits to 75% of our service members. mr. president, no time -- no time is a good time to veto funding for our nation's troops. but with tensions in the world where they are, the decision by senate democrats and the president to block this funding authorization is particularly unconscionable. as we speak, isis is carving a trail of slaughter across the middle east. russia is becoming increasingly aggressive and iran is con

there is no line item in the defense budget. o getting the unnecessary overhead spending without harming the important functions is extremely hard work. it's like a huge easter egg hunt but it can and must be done. a brief word here on resisting the usual approach of reducing budgets with across-the-board cuts. i have seen countless washington reform efforts over the years resulted in mindless salami slicing programs and organizations. that is not reform. managerial and political cowardice. true reform requires making trades and choices and tough decisions. recognizing some activities are more important than others. it's hard to do that essential if you are to reshape any organization into a more effective and efficient enterprise. further the congress must contain its own bad behavior such as insisting on continuing to be unneeded programs because of parochial interests. preventing the closure of roughly one quarter of all defense facilities deemed excess. burdening the department of excessive id frequently expensive it frequent

said the process to move forward at the defense to part request but has not met the nine defense increases because we are already in debt so we borrowed the extra money. it is a difficult time be your correct. history teaches us conflict comes back we don't know what it is like kim and i thank you for your vice this be back that we as a nation and our allies succeed to develop a strategy to buteo adherent can we do that? rebecca a. fink we face a generation of conflict in the and though easter girl least for simultaneously. she is lot of and reformers person libertarians and the islamist forces secular is the in the artificial countries like iraq and afghanistan and syria is comprised of the adversarial ethnic and religious groups if they could hold together at all. it has become the epicenter of all that so to reach that strategy on the part of the united states of how we intend and one of the benefits of containment and there are a lot of disagreements but i will always believe that critical to our success in the cold war is a broad strategy called containment practice by a ninth success

and this is the only defense expert and all of them contradicted dr. d vass. >> throughout the trial, prosecutors keep hammering at casey's behavior after her daughter disappears, the infamous 31 days when casey did not report caylee missing and instead went out partying. for baez, other than a lack of physical evidence, one set of circumstances is the most telling about what went on with casey anthony. >> this is really my favorite exhibit and i call this one casey's imaginary friends. these are all of the people who she made up in her life, long before caylee died. this nanny that she talked about for two years, this imaginary boyfriend that she had who had a son named zachary and then his mother's name was jewels. her boss at universal, tom manly. another boss, thomas frank. caylee's father. raquel ferrel and zani's mother, zani's sister. and this is the world that casey lived in. and this was long before caylee died. cindy anthony testified to each and every one of these individuals and with great detail and what i found fascinating was that cindy s

joining us for a discussion on the defense budget issue. m donnelly we just heard from his from the american enterprise institute. larry corbett is from the center for american progress. let your tony in fort worth, texas. democrat line. morning.ood you look sharp as usual, pedro. my comment is that every time i hear sequester, it makes me angry. self-inflicted. you cannot have it both ways. if you want to cut all federal funding--you cannot go around and try to sequester by china fund the things you want to fund. is trying toaller make this an obama thing. this is not an obama thing. this is a thing where we cannot come together on anything. maybe vetoing the bill was the right thing to do? you cannot pick and choose what you want to fund. the sequester something the government did to us. we now suffer from what they have done. that's my comment. host: to that point, mr. donnelly, what is the stands bef the sequester? we need tocuts -- make sure we are speaking accurately when we talk about the sequester and the budget control act. ped budg

the problems. defense budgeting needs to be based on long-term military strategy which requires the department of defense to focus at least five years in the future, one year plus does not provide dod with the certainty and stability needed. just a highlight how this approach excuse defense spending consider the amount of troops deployed. it is a useful metric. they evolved when we were deploying troops overseas. there is a correlation between efforts overseas, troops engaged, and the size. in 2008 the height of our nation's troop commitment, approximately 187,000 total troops deployed, we spent approximately $1 million for every service member deployed to those countries. under this bill we would spend approximately $9 million for every service member deployed to iraq and afghanistan, roughly about 9,930 people. so this increased and has gone someplace. it has not gone overseas directly to the men and women who are fighting, but it has gone to other accounts. in addition to this phenomenon, within the nex

the defense budget is over half of the discretionary budget system of unfortunately, the defense bill is about the budget and about the appropriations process. and as long as we have those budget caps locked in place, we will be at the ragged edge of what we can do to protect our national security. we shouldn't be there. we should lift the budget caps. this ndaa locks in those budget caps, uses the oco dodge which as i pointed out the senate isn't agreeing to the $38 billion isn't going to be there and even worse, what secretary carter has also said is that the oco funding perpetuates the five years of budget cuts and uncertainty of c.r.'s of government shutdown, of threatened government shutdowns, of not being able to plan. secretary carter has been very clear. he opposes this bill because the oco funding is not an adequate way to fund defense because it is one year money, it is a budget gimmick, it doesn't give them the ability to plan and do what they need to protect our country and take care of our troops. opposing this bill because of oco funding is enormously important to our tr

sean: tristan wolusky took the stand in his own defense yesterday. he says he wants to take responsibility for his actions. he was there with zachary pinette stabbed wilkinson to death and sent a text to the victim later to make it seem like he had left. both pinette and tatum pleaded guilty for testifying against wolusky. >>> state leaders are urging anyone that needs treatment to use the web site of nhtreatment.org. they say there's a problem to access the treatment even when it is available. they say the state should be putting pressure on insurance companies to cover more treatment services. >> we have a kid here that's been hanging out with us for a couple of weeks and living in a tent by the river. he wants recovery. he doesn't qualify for any. sean: the new hampshire providers associate says the most important thing someone can do is get an assaysment to determine the level of care they need. >>> nashua police have arrested two dozen people over the last six in the sale and possession of drugs. the arrest follow several investigation over the l

process we move forward met the defense department's request and the president's request for defense. but it has not met the nondefense increases. all of which on defense and non defense. because we are already in debt. so any time we spend more we borrow the extra money. it's a difficult time. but you are correct. that y teaches us conflicts just don't go away. they keep coming back. we don't know what it will be like and we need a strong national defense. i thank you for your real good advice. do you believe that with regard to the extremism we are seeing in the middle east that we as a nation and our allies in europe and nato and other places should seek to develop a strategy bipartisan in the united states worldwide to deal sophisticatedly with that threat over decades to come? and can we do that? >> senator, i think that we face a generation of conflict in the middle east. i think we have four at least four conflicts going on simultaneously. shia islam led by iran versus sunni islam led by saub, reformers saudi arabia, islamists versus secularists. and then the problem whether t

a loss of whispers and tcu and the defense. they came out and put it on texas today. >> gus: second down and three. starks again. picks up the first. >> joel: you know, i know this was an unranked team playing the all week, didn't feel that way. this asu team better than the 2-2 record. within seven of texas a&m with four minutes to go in that game in week one. four turnovers last week, a great win for todd graham. >> gus: how about todd graham? a signature win. his biggest previously, he beat number 8 notre dame. now he beats number 7 ucla. a snap-back moment for the coach that got blitzed last week against s.c. 38-23 the final. ucla losing for the first time this season. bill's got a very tough lie here... looks like we have some sort of sea monster in the water i believe that's a "kraken", bruce. it looks like he's going to go with a nine iron. that may not be enough club... well he's definitely going to lose a stroke on this hole. if you're a golf commentator, you whisper. it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percen

`prosecutors and the defense both `agree that he planned to rob the `victim, but the defense contends s star `witnesses that actually murdered `aaron wilkinson. `wmur' s ray brewer is live `outside the courthouse, where `closing arguments are wrapping `up right now. `ray: adam, there is scientific `evidence to consider in this `case, such as the number and `nature of stab wounds, and the `testimony of the medical examiner. but both the prosecution and defense are asking the jury to consider who told the truth when they took the stand. 19-year-old tristan wolusky faces a number of charges, including first and second degree murder. at the beginning of the trial, the defense conceded that he planned to rob his friend aaron wilkinson for money and drugs. was his co-conspirators in the robbery, michael tatum and zachary pinette, that actually killed the madbury teen. tatum and pinette testified against wolusky in exchange for a plea deal. while the prosecution said in closing that wolusky is convicted by his own words of second degree murder, the defense said it was the words coming out of

it is not enough for our troops or the defense of our country. this is more, this is about more than just the short-term damage of a temporary shutdown. it is also about the acute relating and lasting damage that comes from a paycheck to paycheck approach to budgeting for the defense of our country. we need to innovate. we need to continue to attract the best people. nexted to develop the generation of capabilities and meet the current generation of threats. again, we face the real risk that political gridlock will hold us back. budget a negotiated solution in which everyone comes againer at last, we will returned to sequestration level funding, reducing discretionary spending to its lowest real level in a decade, despite the fact that members of both parties agree that this result will harm national security. the alternative to a budget deal , a long-term continuing resolution is merely sequester level funding under a different name. the continuing resolution is, the worse it becomes. a $38ally resulting in billion in resources for military if co

rob taglianetti was merely the puppet, the defense would argue. was his wife, mary, a cunning and manipulative woman who had pulled the strings. >> all she wanted was to be with keith reed, which means she's got to get rid of rob taglianetti. she's got to get him out of the picture. >>> coming up, an angry husband, or as the defense argued, a scheming wife? >> this is the story about manipulation and exploitation. >> who was really behind keith reed's death? i would kill for something sweet. i know... we could have one of those. one? are you kidding? we'll end up eating like thirty. wanna split that? ughhhh...no, so much fat. don't fight your instincts. with each each for 150 calories or less try our chocolatey brownies, tangy lemon bars, and new creamy cheesecakes. fiber one. go on, have one. >>> a little more than a year after the killing of popular superintendent keith reed, rob taglianetti went on trial for second-degree murder. he pleaded not guilty. >> ladies and gentlemen of the jury -- >> reporter:s the procuter told the jury that this cas

now, my area is the department of defense. i know how it's impacted them. they basically from one week to the next barely know what they can spend money on. one of the criticisms is that there should have been more security. but if you don't have a budget, if you don't have an appropriations bill, how does that complicate your job as secretary in trying to figure out what money you can spend? >> well, it makes it very difficult, congressman. and this is a subject that we talked about all the time, how do you plan. how do you know -- you know, you have so many diplomatic security officers in so many dangerous places. how do you know what you're going to have to be able to deploy, and where are you going to have to make the choices. that's why the prioritization, which shouldn't have to be, in my view, the responsibility of the officials in the state department or the defense department, to try to guess what makes the most sense. we should have a much more orderly process for our budget. i would say again, as secretary of state, the kind of dysfunction and fai

the q.d.r. has for our defense department and military services. mr. gowdy: the chair would now recognize the gentlelady from alabama, mrs. roby. mrs. roby: secretary clinton, my colleagues have focused on your relationship with the ambassador, chris stevens, and why you sent him into benghazi in 2011 as part of your broader libya initiative. but it's not so clear from everything that we have reviewed that you had a vision in benghazi going forward into 2012 and beyond. it appears there was confusion and uncertainty within your own department about libya. quite flangely, secretary clinton, it appears you were a large cause of that uncertainty we have seen all the day-to-day updates and concern early in 2011 and i heard what you said to my colleague, mrs. brooks, i'll get to that in a minute. showing that libya and for that matter benghazi belong to you in 2011, it was yours, so to speak. from your own records that we have, we saw a drop in your interest in libya and benghazi in 2012. not only do the records show your drop in interest in ben gazzy, it wa

mcmorris rogers: this week the house and senate sent the defense bill, as you've heard, to the president's desk. it was bipartisan and it is legislation that we pass every year to fund our military. this legislation is essential when it comes to providing a strong national defense that keeps us safe, that equips those that are in harm's way and also supports the families of those military service men and women. for the men and women at fairchild air force base in eastern washington as well as bases all around the world, our priorities should be to give them the equipment and the resources that they need. i also co-chair the military family caucus, and i hear regularly from military families concerns about whether they're going to be able to make ends meet at the end of the month and whether or not they're going to be able to juggle the demands when someone is deployed. when someone joins the military, it's not just a job. it is a family commitment that they make to our country. sacrifices, they surf us. it is our responsibility to make sure they get our support. military families rely on t

you and your colleagues in the secretary of defense dealt with c.r.'s. you dealt with sequestration. you dealt with furloughs. you dealt with threats of all of the above. you dealt with brinksmanship over debt ceiling limitations. you dealt with a high degree of uncertainty as you're planning what scenario do i run in terms of the resources that i'll have? will i have -- we have to absorb the full sequester, budget caps? talk a little bit about the strategic challenge that it presents to the entire defense mission of the united states when you're dealing with the degree of congressional budgetary uncertainty that we have seen in the nation in the past number of years. dr. gates: as i said in my comments, we have an appropriations bill at the beginning of the fiscal year, twice in the last 10 years, and believe me it was, i think, probably in the ninth and 10th year ago. i submitted through the president five budgets to the congress as secretary, and never once had an appropriation at the beginning of the fiscal year. the problem is you then have to straig

four, it ensures the defensive measures are properly limited. the bill allows a company to take measures to defend itself as one might expect, and the manager's amendment clarifies that the authorization to employ defensive measures does not allow an entity to gain unauthorized access to a computer network. fifth, it includes the secretary of homeland security as co-author of the government-sharing guidelines. the manager's amendment directs both the attorney general and the secretary of homeland security rather than solely just the attorney general to develop policies and procedures to govern how the government quickly and appropriately shares information about cyber threats. that should be a no-brainer. sixth, it clarifies exceptions to the department of homeland security so-called portal. the manager's amendment clarifies the types of cyber information sharing that are permitted to occur outside the d.h.s. portal created by the bill. specifically, the billionaire owes communications outside of the department of homeland security portal regardi

the key defense strategy -- racism. >> this is not just any city where an allegation of a racist cop being made. this is the lapd. >> and simpson's attorneys know they can strike a chord. with secret knowledge of scathing recordings about to surface, they seek permission to ask mark fuhrman if he's ever used the "n" word. >> i'll use the word, because i'm quoting him, "all the niggers, put them together in a big group and burn them." >> but prosecutor chris darden wants no part of it. >> it is the filthest, nastiest word in the english language. it will upset the black jurors. the test will be, whose side are you on, the side of the white prosecutors and policemen, or the side of this black defendant and his black lawyer? >> cochran fires back. >> not every african-american feels that way. it's the meaning to our jurors to say that african-americans cannot hear these offensive words. >> the battle lines are drawn, and race will now determine this trial's outcome. january 24th, 1995. the trial of orenthal james simpson gets under way. >> there was a forest of satellite trucks, satelli

>> mike: this game has already lasted 3:30. >> ed: for the defensive players in this game it feels a lot longer than that. the amount of energy you have to expand as a defensive player than an offensive player is the pursuit to the ball. >> mike: this a huge series, indiana desperately need a stop and they desperately need it now. >> ed: and ohio state needs a drive to feel good about themselves as they go in for the rest of their season. >> mike: time-out, ohio state. they were going to lose five yards. as the play clock was winding down. >> ed: we talked about -- we have seen ohio state twice, you know, it looks like to me they have a championship-caliber defense, the offense obviously has some work to do. but what about for kevin wilson and indiana? this is -- this is, when we saw them last year, they were down to their fifth string quarterback against michigan state, they didn't have a chance that day, but zander diamont came in, got better as the season went on, he wasn't ready to play against michigan state. you can see in the line of scrimmage. indiana has gotten so much better

fully funding the defense department without breaking's imposed by the bca on defense and nondefense. however, it provides no relief. that includes many agencies critical to national security. force a bipartisan compromise her ongoing budget difficulties. emergency funding is outside budget sure reason. an unacceptable use of this important tool for war fighters in the field. it complicates the dod's budget problems. it does not provide the certainty instability it needs building its five-year budget. it is a useful metric because it evolve all they were deploying troops overseas in response to afghanistan and enduring freedom than with respect to a rack and there is a correlation in the minds of most people between our efforts overseas the troops engaged approximately 187,000 soldiers deployed. roughly 930 people. so this increase has gone someplace. had we gone overseas directly to the men and women who are fighting, but has gone to other accounts. in addition to this phenomenon within the next few years services will begin procuring new weapon systems. 10.6 million. as the capture

drew not only the defensive end but the safety across the entire field. then mike bercovici who is not going to be confused with a running quarterback. takes it the distance. gus, we call this a trip game at the start. ucla takes the cheese. >> gus: well-put partner. mike bercovici a terrific night. ballage popping it through. first down. that will do it. look at him go. ballage still running holy mackerel. touchdown asu! >> joel: you get the sense that all the frustration from a disappointing opening four weeks of the season was taken out on that one run. carrying the ucla defense into the end zone. >> gus: extra point up and good. what a run by caleb ballage. >> joel: obviously helps out because ucla is not worried about getting him to the ground. they're trying to rip the football out. how tough and strong is ballage? going. all 23 yards after contact. mike norvell. his game plan in particular in this fourth quarter gave asu a chance to win. the drive that didn't end in points but took ten minutes off the clock allowed the defense to rest. they got the

they have a hard time holding the defensive pass rush off the quarterback. jim: so the saints had lost six consecutive home games and last time out at home they beat dallas in overtime and win again tonight against atlanta and a really great crowd here tonight. they really got into this game. fumed by that blocked punt there in the first quarter that was recovered and taken in for a touchdown. phil: well, the saints did a great job of keeping their crowd into it. a little bit for a while but then the defense made a play, they'd cause a fumble. they were the aggressors tonight. jim: next thursday night we're going to be in santa clara for the 49ers' hosting of the seattle seahawks. not a lot of love when those two square off. phil: no, no, i think that's a big understatement and i think we've learned something here tonight. don't go oh, that's an automatic win for the seahawks. i think we're noticing right now, the nfl, from the first team to the 20th team, there's very little that separates a lot of these teams. jim: this weekend we'll be at lambeau field fo

we can't do that in the defense authorization bill. we can take it apart, we can put it together, we can put the pieces back a different way. we cannot fix his basic problem in any defense authorization bill because his basic problem is he wants to spend more money on other stuff. now, i might agree on some of those other things that we ought to spend money on, but we can't fix it in this bill which is why the washington post says vetoing it not for anything that's in it, but because of this broader budget disagreement, using it as a hostage would be historic. >> we will stay here in the front row -- or second row, and then we'll work our way back in just a moment. yes, please. >> john harper with national defense magazine. my question for both of you. you've talked about the differences with the white house over oco versus base budget funding, but are there any substantive policy disagreements, and if so, would you be willing to negotiate on any of those in order to preserve, you know, acquisition reform in the white house is willing t

the d. of defense. i know -- the department of defense. i know how it's impacted them. they basically from one week to the next barely know what they can spend money on. one of the criticisms is there should have been more security. but if you don't have a budget, an appropriations bill, how does that complicate your job as secretary in trying to figure out what money you can spendsome. >> well, it makes it very difficult, congressman, and this is a subject that we talked about all the time, how do you plan? be how do you know, you know? you have so many diplomatic security officers in so many dimples places, how do you know what you're going to have to be able to deploy, and where are you going to have to make the choices? that's why the prioritization, which shouldn't have to be, in my view, the responsibility of the officials in the state department or the defense department to try to guess what makes the most sense. we should have a much more orderly process for our budget. and i will say again as secretary of state, the kind of dysfunction and failure to make decisi
