how'd we make are supporting uas assets with the same footprint. some of that goes to the split operations that colonel black talked about. we perch the back and in the sanctuary area within the same theater. there's probably thinks we haven't thought of, which were looking to the industry to help us out with. colonel black talked about communications. everything about this unshared communications. we have reliable chunk of bandwidth. it's been able to get at the bandwidth at the right time. i've got to know that if they are. there are kinds of operations were conducting. you have to know. not 80%, not 90%. we have to know 100% that that availability is going to be there and is going to work in that the challenge right now. the last piece as we move into the phase where we're moving a lot out of mostly u.s. laterals direct action into the bye week group, into operations at those nations. the governments have agreements with the population and it goes back to the footprint issue, but right now the visual signature at uis means one thing. if i drown

it makes it unnecessary for us to dumb down the ua the systems that we might want to use with our partners. it might make them more affordable, depending on the financing arrangements. it avoids a slippery slope where you start to undo the main tenets of our missile nonproliferation policies, and the net stop being to share space-launch vehicles, which i think most of you know are interchangeable with ballistic missiles. have to assess the efficiency of having a central operator -- if gives us the efficiency of having a central operator. we've heard the problems of the army versus the air force on operational concepts. it is worse when you're trying to deal with international partners. it would allow, by having a central operator, for aerospace integration, which we heard about this morning. better interoperability, better band with use. band with use.

they had a high ua rate. we found that afghan soldiers go over the hill for the same reason american soldiers do. they are not getting paid very well. they decide there's a better living to be made somewhere else. we worked with them to get their pastry. as amazing as it sounds, an afghan soldier gets paid by electronic means. he does not get cash. it is transferred to his bank account. he has a plastic card just like we all have. that was the problem. so i am working with the banking industry, we were able to get bank facilities set up in the army camp so the soldier did not have to run home to pay his family. he did it electronically. that's with a fair leave policy -- everybody home at some point -- we dropped the ua rate to less than 9%. by the time we left, they conduct their own operations. they are deploying the around, they execute the operations, and then withdraw. they are not afraid to take on the enemy. the afghan soldier is a good soldier. he is willing to fight and he is tough in the field. ther

[applause] i would like to call senator in ua -- inyue to my right.ill help with the unveiling. this was not part of the script, but it makes sense. all of you cannot see this, because we had to put this together from 7:00 last night until this morning. otherwise, it would have been lifted to a place very high, but after the ceremony, we would like to invite you to see the plaque. it will be located at the world war ii memorial itself. it is a dedication and recognition of senator dole and his contribution. we are standing here on hallowed ground for our nation. if you look to the east, you see our nation's capital, where so many of you have served. if you see behind us, there is the lincoln memorial. to the south, the jefferson memorial. it to the north, the white house. this plaque will put bob dole in the wright place in history. he will live forever, in our view. he has a long life ahead of him. the installation of this plaque is very important to all of us who worked so hard. the vice president, joined by senator roberts -- if bob dole could come

policy riders that republicans feel very strongly about, defriending planned parent hood, curbing the ua. those are very important to the republicans. the deal could break down with those issues. matt? >> i think it's clear the republican and democrat leaders don't want a shutdown for the simple reason nobody knows who the american people would ultimately blame. the republicans got the blame back in the 1980s. the blame kind of gets spread around equally. i'll say one thing. the president knows that if the government is shut down and there is some kind of problem with the recovery that it affects the economic recovery, he will get blamed for that, and that's one reason the white house is working very hard to avoid this outcome. >> savannah guthrie at the white house this morning. savannah, thank you very much. it's 7 after the hour. meredith? >> the new nbc wall street news poll shows a surprising surge for one republican canned dated, and it is a name you will recognize. donald trump is in a tie for second along with mike huckabee and mitt romney. mitt romney leads. on monday we sat dow

the bottom line in the private sector has always been the bottom line, and then we have ua social mission bottom line. the public sector has a straightforward social bottom line, but the financial bottom line has become more acute over time. the private sector has only the financial bottom line. people are starting to talk about greater responsibility and a different connection. harvard is writing about corporate social responsibility and shared values. we are changing this relationship quite dramatically and we are changing the language we are using to think about how the sectors can work together in collaborative ways. i think that is extremely important. when you hear social marketing, people think that is fuzzy and peculiar. i think that is actually emerging. i think we are in the early steps of the journey, and i think it is an important one. >> at the risk of offending my host, i would like to address the german miracle, which i do not believe very much in either.
