excuse of the program. me of these delays and deficiencies are responsibility of the ship builder operating on cost plus incentive fee type of contract and slow to apply modern building techniques, such as the virginia class program. some of the problems stem from including new technologies that were not sufficiently matured into the design of ship. these immature technologies include systems critical for successful operation of the aircraft carrier, answered arresting gear, electromagnetic aircraft launch system and dual manned radar. each of these systems pose challenges and millions of dollars over budget we realize building and designing aircraft carrier is costly exercise, committee observed some of these problems could have been solved years ago. there is larger issue into this drama. the flav very was facing inevitable retirement of uss enterprise, cvn 65 was scheduled to run out of fuel 2013 or 2014. this pressurized for starting the first ship in the cvn program which would evolve what would become

the program is fundamentally on track. we remain confident that we'll be able to deliver the full f-35 capability within time and the money we have been given. as with any big, complex program, new discoveries, challenges and obstacles will occur. however, we believe the combined government/industry team has the ability to overcome our current deficiencies and deal with future issues should they arise in order to successfully deliver on our commitments. the joint program office will continue executing with integrity, discipline, transparency, and accountability. holding ourselves accountable for the outcomes on this program. we recognize the responsibility the program has been given to provide the backbone of future u.s. and allied fighter capability for generations to come. we also recognize that our sons and daughters and our grandsons and granddaughters may someday take this weapons system into harm's way to defend our freedom and way of life. it is a responsibility that we never forget in the program office. thank you,

the students. so that lower interest rate and that generous repayment program is not a part of the perkins loan program, and what we are saying, a bipartisan group of senators are saying, is that we need to replace the perkins loan with that better opportunity. now, let's be clear about who's affected by this. perkins loans are about 1% of all the student loans, so 99% of those students who have student loans are not affected by this discussion. of those who have perkins loans, you can keep your perkins loan. you can keep your perkins loan and the department of education notified all the institutions early in this calendar year and said the perkins loan expires in the fall. if you grant a new perkins loan, it will be a one-year loan. for everybody else who has already got a perkins loan, you can keep it through the end of your program. so in almost every case, you've either got a one-year loan if you have got a new loan for the first time, or if you're already in the program, you keep it all the way through to the end of your program. that's the situation. so it's important for students to know that th

on the current development program. not the case for production and the price of the airplane. fae partner or any service moves airplanes did the right or takes airplanes out, the pry of the airplane for all the other partners and all the other fmf customers and all the other services goes up a little bit. in this instance, if there are 65 less a-model airplanes in that production profile, from any country, whether it be cab dan or someone else are we have estimated that the increase in price to everyone else is 0.7 to 1%. for an "a" model today that's about $1 million a copy. for everybody else. so there is an impact to the price of the airplane for everyone else if 65 airplanes are removed from the production flow. there are other impacts. going forward, we have a follow-on modernization program and we have future sustainment of the airplane that the partnership shares in that cost. canada's share of that cost was ther 2.1%. if canada is no longer in the program that 2.1% cost of future sustainment and follow-on modern

the next one is the next am amphib program. he minimize the risks to ensure we -- at a cost we can both afford and rely pop when it delivers. we'll re -- use use technology we understand and supports the mission and then just deal with those changes to the mission that are necessary for the changes to that platform. >> so, those are ships in the future, though, retrospectively, what is the lead ship the navy delivered underbudget? >> i don't want to oversimplify this but the last lead ship was the mobile landing platform. that delivered on schedule, under budget. >> okay. ... >> discuss the issues driving the national conversations. mitt romney and valerie jerrett were speakers. on saturday night at 10 p.m. eastern, we talk about

i think that's ringing a lot out of the program already. already, with all these changes, it is at cap and we are seven years from delivery. i think cost increases are likely regardless of what's reported. i would like to put the carrier in a little context here against acquisition. i think, mr. chairman, you brought this up, as did mr. reed. the cvn-78 program is a typical acquisition. 22% increase in costs. scheduled delays are pretty typical for acquisitions. mr. chairman, i have testified before you a number of times on different things. we have think of the example, jff, fcs, f-22, lcs. i think what's different here, this program we knew all along this was going to be the case. we shouldn't be surprised by anything that's happened here. we saw it coming. it is not an i told you so moment. it is a we all knew it. ask yourself, kr does something like this happen? best practices are pretty well-known. mature technologies before you put them on the program. it wasn't done here. go with a realistic cost estimate and budget to it. we have alw

the program for what principles and bodies. if you really believe in mature technologies before you put them in a program, if you believe in fly before by, if you believe in realistic estimating and scheduling and the program comes up that does not measure up, you have got to say no. >> the jail, the forward class aircraft carriers leadership began construction with an unrealistic business case. you identified that. they talk to you? some hearing still learn a little bit more about. i appreciate your services. that is and gentlemen, we have got to change. $18 trillion of debt in the way we are funded. thank you. i would love to meet with you later on. >> i would like that. >> i thinki think the senator from west virginia for his involvement and commitment on this issue. >> thank you. mr. francis, i think you opened up your statement by saying the same story program and commented in your opening statement about the committee and the senate are congress as a whole playing a more aggressive oversight role than we have a recent year

the risk on that. that will be a fixed price program. the next one after that will be the next amfib program the lxr. we have made the decision to mitigate minimize those risks to ensure we the cost of the needs and afford and rely upon. we'll use the hull form which is technology and capability that we understand and support it is mission and then we're just going to deal with those changes to the mission out of necessary that are -- for the changes to that platform. >> so those are ships in the future though. retrospectively, what is the lead ship that the navy delivered under budget? >> i don't want to oversimplify this but the last that we delivered was the mobile landing platform. that delivered on schedule, underbudget. >> ok. secretary do you have anything to add to this question? >> no, sir. i would add one thing different though. i think the underlying premise in term of what we're having as a discussion doesn't go specific to the ship for the first in class but to that culture that we discussed earlier. >> and to be clear i'm asking this not just about the forward class carrier but all thes

since as the virginia class program. some of the problems stem from including new technologies that were not sufficiently matured into the design of the ship. these include systems that are critical for successful operation of the aircraft carrier, advanced resting gear, electromagnetic system and dual man radar. each of these subpoeystems has schedule challenges and is overbudget. the committee is concerned that some of these problems were foreseeable and should have been resolved years ago. but i believe there is a larger issue woven into this drama. if you look back at the inception of the program, the navy was facing inevitable retirement of the uss enterprise cvn 65 which was scheduled to run out of fuel about 2013 or 2014. this pressurized the schedule for starting the first ship in the cvn 21 program which evolved into what would bhk the next aircraft carrier of the gerald r. ford. the cvn 21 program was intended to evolve technologies over a two ship program. cvnx 1 and cvnx 2 and install new systems when they h

needed for the program is so we will before we launch this program have defined that cost and having taken those steps implemented that mitigation strategic we have been able to target a mitigation rating after taking the steps of 4 a moderate or low overview ratings identifying the livelihood the costs greater than our revenues having being managed we know what those are to the contracting process that gives us a sense of enterprise risk management process and the methods we're going through in putting together the business plan for you and identifying the strategies and risks and how the overview revenues collected from the program can cover the overview costs of the program i'd like to talk about the counteracting approval strategies if you're ready for me to move on to that item okay. >> so what we're going to before he can to you at our next commission meeting a request for approval of supplier pool what we're looking to do to make sure we register the competition by putting the offers out and maintaining flexibility as we gordon's we'll be asking for approve for continual autho

we have four programs set to n sunset september 30th. the eb 5 immigrant investor program where people can invest a million or $500,000 in a targeted employment area to get a green card for their individual spouse and family members, children. we have a conrad state 30 med -- for a medical doctor program for doctors who serve in medically underserved areas, religious worker bill. there are discussions going on right now, robust discussions to extend the programs. i think eb 5 has been a real focus around new needed integrity measures, making sure that these projects, the offerings around the projects are subjects to securities laws, and also the -- addressings making sure that targeted employment areas meet the spirit of the law and we don't have sort of gerrymandering and crazily drawn teas. we're looking at that right now. i guess as the term is cautiously optimistic that the programs will be extended before the september 30th sunset. i suppose another option or possibility out there is that we have a continuing resolution and the programs

and just as a reminder, the program is providing -- the cleanpowersf prow power is providing two program offerings, our default product offering at 33-5% bundled renewables, and our premium product, the 100% renewable and greenhouse gas free supply option, when we went out into the marketplace, that's the two offerings we're procuring supply for, when we went out into the marketplace, we requested bids in three different -- under three different options, our firmed and shaped energy, our renewable energy and our resource adequacy capacity, resource adequacy capacity is a requirement for all load serving entities so the iso and the california puc imposed that requirement on folks like us, we face it for our existing program offerings from our hetch hetchy power customers and we face it for cleanpowersf, i'm going to focus on bids we received for option 1 and option 2 mostly. so, on bid option 1, we received 6 bids, i'm very happy to report we're seeing some very attractive pricing, the other terms are still under evaluation, we have short listed three firms and published that on our websi

the other way is to make the programs be more efficient. and it doesn't get a lot of credit. the obama care, affordable care act, it has a lot of money invested in just that, in prevention, and actually, unfortunately, that prevention is one of the places that republicans in congress try to go to when they repeal the affordable care act to take money out of the fund. >> before the brake, campaigns - and you worked on campaigns, are they a good time and place to talk to people about big complicated issues like medicare and social security. president barack obama and hillary clinton respect didn't talk about the commission until after it was approved. you see it going into a campaign promising huge entitlement reform. the idea that was presented in the debate. rand paul would be the exception. getting rid of the payroll tax, though he said the employers would take it on. other than that, there's a lot of promises and rhetoric and not a lot of detail. you would have expected for detail. >> regular viewers know we looked at two core propositions as republican economic theory on th

i've managed large programs. so from the perspective of a nasa program manager, gentlemen, what is the difference between a target date and a commitment date? and why might it be useful to have a target date that is earlier than the commitment date? >> first of all, congressman, the difference between a commitment date and a target date is, the commitment date is, the agency is legislatively held to reporting requirements on programs' progress. when i was in the agency, we purposely had to work through the commitments, recognizing, i will be it's the nun-mccurdy act. it was subject to a cancellation provision. the agency has to worry about an commitment from an integrity, trust perspective, that it's going to do what it says it's going to do. the target date is what i used, my team used to try to keep the appropriate amount of schedule pressure on getting the work done as cost-efficiently as possible, as technically correct as we could, and maintaining the safety. it is the art of project management, in a sense, that says i

we all know that the f-35 is a complex program. it has experienced issues with cost, schedule, and performance throughout its development. the subcommittee has hold numerous hearings to understand the critical need for the fifth generation strike fighter capability and to understand the issues facing the program. most recently, the subcommittee where we were able to meet with pilots and maintenance personnel. this ongoing committee oversight have identified issues and worked to help ensure the program remains on track. for example, in the fiscal year 2014, the subcommittee learned of software development problems and recommended legislation that would establish a team to review the f-35 software development program and make recommendations to fix these problems. for fiscal year 2015, the committee recommended legislation would continue and analysis of the testing, development, and production of the f-35 program. during our visit at egeland, we learned of issues with the f-35 maintenance system known as the awe topic alis. as a resul

this office has established the program called the arch program -- access received closer to home. arch ensures that rural veterans in the pilot states who often have a difficult time accessing the regular v.a. health system can receive care closer to where they live. this has been a tremendous success in northern maine, which has one of the pilot programs in caribou, maine, in conjunction with kerry memorial hospital. this has made such a difns to our veterans -- such a difference to our veterans. i remember one of our veterans telling me about breaking his hip last winter in the height of a terrible winter storm. instead of enduring a painful and bumpy ride for more than four hours to get to the v.a. hospital in augusta, he was able through the arch program to receive the care out of his local hospital, kerry memorial in caribou, maine. he also had the benefit of being able to receive care closer to where his family and friends were. the programs that i've just mentioned, like so many that are contained within the military construction v.a. appropriations bill, are essential to en

mature technologies before you put them on the program. go with the realistic cost estimate and budget to it. weit. we have always gone with the lost cost estimate and still are. and 54 by was not done here. you ask yourself why don't we do these things. mymy belief is, it is the prevailing acquisition culture, the collective pressures that the different participants bring upon the process that create incentives for programs to overstate what they think they can do, the state technical risk, understood cost and understood schedule which is how you get funding and programs approved. so i would just like to say where does this leave us today? and i we will say, i no it's popular today photography acquisition process being broken, but i think it is in a happy equilibrium. maybe not so happy, but. maybe not so happy, but it has been this way 50 years, and i think is going to say this way until the incentives change. as the chairman said, i've beensaid, i've been in this job 40 years and have not given up hope yet. i believe that congress is the
