thibault. >> thank you, commissioner chase. thank you ambassador can do. thank you for coming appear. i want to make a statement. i don't think it's going to conflict with some of the questions i'm going to ask, but i want to make a statement that your department has been exceptionally responsive. it's not a perfect world. we follow up on different things, but i think for the record, every time that we really needed some information, you've been responsive, at least from my perspective. and i thank you for that. i'm going to bounce around a bit. i'm the contracting guys are going to be interested mostly in contracting, but -- and i found part of your statement very interesting, and that was you state that you're going to have an assistant secretary certify that adequate resources are available and provided for contract oversight, and to get the job done. when are you going to implement that? >> that has been implemented. >> so it starts in fy -- the end of the 11th, 12? >> the end of 11. >> her

thibault -- four minutes. i have told fox fairly accountable. >> all right. i have not even said hello. ok -- we generously guard our time so therefore i will make a couple of observations. i think you also have been candid, ambassador, and i really respect the mission that the state has assumed and i think part of the mission you have been given -- of a summation of what we are seeing here -- is wrong. those parts -- and we have given plenty of examples, where those situations that have had historically been united states and military and they are the be world, you have been asked to transition into accepting that, and the use of contract workers is the only option. you do not have an option, and many of those people could be falstaff, and i cannot say enough for them. the observation i have made, and i will sum it up, it is the year 2013, and we toss numbers around, but the d.c. a a backlog for all of those years, buy it there estimate it is going to be $800 billion -- by their estimate, it is going to be $800 billion unaccounted for. it cannot be audited.
