a water kiosk financed by the us development agency usaid. asha says people still have to walk far and pay a lot for water. the tank doesn't solve their problems. >> usaid is very powerful. instead of throwing their money at projects like this, they actually throw their money, or their efforts, into government to bring in policies that can bring and water for our people because if you help people, the government's supposed to do that, not usaid or anything like that. >> asha lives in kibera herself. she grew up here and knows kibera and its people. it troubles her that her community is besieged by organizations from around the world. they claim to only want to help, but asha say they're really competing for publicity and donations. >> my demand is for them to leave. i am 22 years old so i've been in kibera for 22 years. i've never seen any change. it's still a slum. people don't have running water, the people are living on less than two dollars a day. >> asha shows us the offices of kcoda, a local aid organization. kcoda's goal -- political e

rf i-16 request that you mentioned, the usaid piece of it of the $735 million, the usaid demonstrates that commitment. four years into this conflict, syrians see no end in sight to the violence. isil's abuses have been layered on top of the regime's indiscriminate killings. our partners are heroically working through all channels often at considerable risk to reach those in need, including in regime areas of opposition. for over three years, we provided emergency care to nearly 2 million patients and 300 u.s. supported facilities throughout the area. i saw some of those patients myself last week at a hospital in jordan. thanks to aggressive vaccination campaign, by the way the number , of polio cases in syria is now down to zero. we have improved water and sanitation for 1.3 million syrians. repairing water networks installing latrines and bathrooms in camps. these help prevent the spread of the disease. for the third year we are working tirelessly to help the most vulnerable cope with winter, especially those living in makeshift homes and tents. so far, we have distributed blankets,

international federation of the red cross and of the ngo usaid play a very critical role. and then to establish their teams. but then they have to answer but why aren't they doing this on time? >> did he say get works very well. respond with the lessons learned. working with the international partners again. to have an agency called the foundation now with operations central to liberia but we are working with them to bill prepared this and response. we are leveraging to rebuild the health care system. is fairly highly effective. and very much moving flying from liberia into china in into the region in kidney and ghana it into the market of liguria guess what happened? with that ebola crisis because everybody was afraid of ebola. in venice some point that it made a social impact. but many died. that is a critical problem. working together things up are working very well but also that others are hurting from and the fact that there is pressure from guinea to put pressure on organizations by supporting this country. so we're learning from each other to move forward. and also

he has been a really effective and dynamic leader to usaid.he is pushed forward innovative efforts like see the future and empower africa. his response to on expected responses and we are really going to miss you. president obama said if there's one thing the new century has taught us is that we cannot separate her work at home from the challenges beyond our shores. that fact was deeply understood by secretary kerry in the men and women of state and usaid. we see it in action every day and our fy16 budget request makes critical investments in diplomacy and development that will secure peace and stability for the american people strength in the u.s. economy and global markets and supports u.s. citizens and our diplomatic and presence overseas. the state and usaid budget request totals $50.3 billion which is roughly 1% of the federal budget. our base budget request is $43.2 billion. this will allow us to address ongoing and emerging national security challenges carry out our global diplomatic and development mission, dance and present signature

he works for the taliban and on the base there were filing cabinets full of usaid documents. there was a sort of equipment from russia and equipment and it was just sort of a graveyard of that type of situation and you could see they were not convinced him of the british were sort of saying to me privately we don't know either. we need an answer to this because you know we can't keep on peddling this line if we don't know if it is true. there was a lot of dismay when the withdrawal date was announced because a lot of the troops felt that their dealings with the afghans had been so dishonest because they were not really for it in the long haul in the domestic political timetable though it was a pretty complex relationship. >> host: at the time there were a couple american marine units and a couple battalions in other places in helmand to hear debate. did you hear or see anything like they are dealing with this? you get into a situation where you are in places like that and it can seem like a world away. >> guest: there was the welsh guard unit that described it like the famous

he had worked for the taliban and on the base they were filing cabinets full of usaid documents. there was equipment russian equipment with trucks from a walkie there so it was this graveyard of empire type situation. you could see what the afghans that they weren't convinced in the british were saying to me privately we don't know either. we need an answer to this because we can't keep on peddling this lie if we don't know that is true. there was a lot of dismay when the withdrawal date was announced because a lot of troops felt that meant their dealings with the afghans had been somehow dishonest because the americans weren't really in it for the long-haul and moved to a domestic political timetable almost. it was a pretty complex relationship between the british and the afghans. >> host: at the time in 2093 surge there were a couple of american marine units and you mentioned anglico and battalions in hell month. did you hear or see anything in terms of oh man they are doing this. you get into a situation where you are in places like that where three miles, five miles can seem

conversation, part of a conversation like this and on that base there was a caretaker who had worked for usaid in the sort of 1960s and 1970s. the then worked for the russians at the same base and he worked for the taliban and on the base there was filing cabinets full of usaid documents that were sort of equipment from russian equipment, trucks from milwaukee there, and this graveyard of empires type of situation. you could see with afghans they were convinced -- they weren't convinced and the british war saying to my privately we don't know either. we need an answer to this bus we can't sort of keep on peddling this line if we don't know that it's true. and it was a lot of dismay when the withdrawal date was announced. i think a lot of the troops felt that meant that their dealings with the afghans had been somehow dishonest because british and americans weren't really in it for the long haul and would kind of move to a sort of domestic political timetable almost. so it was pretty complex relationship between the british and the afghan. >> host: at the time there were -- 2009 presurge, there

where he heard a conversation like this him on that base there was a caretaker who had worked for usaid in the 1960s and 1970s. he had been worked for the russians on the same base and he worked for the taliban. on the base there were filing cabinets full of usaid documents and there was equipment russian equipment and trucks from milwaukee there. it was this graveyard of empires type of situation. you could see with afghans they weren't convinced in the british were saying to me privately well we don't know either. we need an answer to this because we can't keep on peddling this y if we don't know it's true. there was a lot of dismay when the withdrawal date was announced because i think a lot of the troops felt that meant their dealings with the afghans have been somehow dishonest because british americans weren't really in it for the long-haul and i moved to a domestic political timetable. it was a pretty complex relationship to the british and the afghans. >> host: at the time in 2009 pre-surge there were a couple of american marine units. there were couple of battalions. did you he

did sign an agreement that will nearly double usaid to jordan to nearly $1 billion a year. that still has to be approved by congress. >> for more charlie d'agata joins us by phone. what's been the reaction to jordan and the execution of the two al qaeda prisoners. >> reporter: you have to start out with how many people were angered and how many were talking about revenge and it came quickly. nobody would say they're happy to see two people executed but that's exactly what people were demanding after witnessing that video. you know the people of jordan when you see somebody pop up on isis video, you don't expect this person to be released but nobody expected this pilot who's got so much respect, reverence for the military here in this fight against isis and then you see him burned alive. it just galvanized the people of jordan. they are angry. they're saddened of course and they're angry and they're demanding vengeance and king abdullah is due to arrive here in fact, within moments, and there will be pressure as susan said in that report. there's a division between whether o

everything we do abroad within the state department and usaid is within that 1%. everything. all the businesses we try to help, to marry to economic opportunities in the country, all the visas, the consulate work, the diplomacy, the coordination of dhs, fbi, atf, i mean all the efforts that we have to engage in to work with other countries, intelligence organizations, so forth, to help do the diplomacy around that is less than 1%. i guarantee you more than 50% of the history of this era is going to be written out of that 1% and the issues we confront in that 1%. and i ask you to think about that as you contemplate the budgets. because we've been robbing peter to pay paul, and we've been stripping away our ability to help a country deal with those kids who may be ripe for becoming part of isil. we've been diminishing our capacity to be able to have the kind of impact we ought to be having in this more complicated world. now, i'm not going to go in to all of the detail because i promised i'd summarize. but i believe the united states is leading extraordinarily on the basis of t

usaid was there, cdc came with epidemiologists, we had the u.s. military moving in with logistics which was done in march or april. we would have lost 3,000, we would have lost 8,000 lives in the region, 20,000 people would have been infected from the ebola virus disease today. they came late, they came huge and supported us and we appreciate that. >> tolbert, i think that's a very resounding, compelling, conclusion to our 90 minutes together this morning. thank you so much for being so compassionate and candid and detailed and taking on all of these multitudes now issues with such clarity and sensitive and thank you for the leadership that you have demonstrated and sustained over many months. your contribution is just enormous and the story that you tell is a very positive story at the end of the day and so thank you so much for being with us. congratulations on the results. [ applause ] >> thank you. >> we look forward to having you return again to pick up this story in the next phase. >> i'm announcing today i will resign as governor of the gov

so first the state and usaid budget request totals $05.3 billion. our base budget request is 43.2 billion. this will allow us to address national security challenges, carry out our development missions, advance the president's signature policy and development initiatives honor our commitments to allies and partners and carry out peace keeping activities around the world. we've also requested $7 billion in overseas contingencies operations funds to respond to immediate and extraordinary national security environment. oako funds will support critical operations in afghanistan, pakistan, and iraq. as well as exceptional costs related to our fight with isil, responses in syria and support ukraine. as vice president biden pened in an op ed our budget invests $1 billion in central america. these funds will address the underlying social governance and economic factors that drove last year's crises in child migration while helping mexico secure its southern border. our goal is to partner with our neighbors in central america to mitigate these underlying fac

usaid has another program as well, their other divisions of the government that execute this as well. i was part of the team that helps manage those trends. one way used to describe my job as an article became a couple of years ago that said that the nsa is trying to break [inaudible] while the [inaudible] is supporting it. >> host: has this been a successful endeavor? the internet freedom initiative? >> guest: i would say it is making success and it's making progress. but yes, it is a top fight. internet freedom is very much in jeopardy on being attacked on a number of fronts all around the world and you can look at some of the freedoms that are not dealing with this in a longitudinal sense over time. internet freedom is not a great place right now from i actually think it's been a good place but in many other countries people are not free to say what they want to say online and not free to access the internet and the website they want to get to and use the applications and services. so i think we have a lot of work to do but i think we're making progress. >> host: what about the iss

usaid was there cdc came with epidemiologist epidemiologists, we had the u.s. military moving in with logistics which was done in march or april. we would have lost 3,000, we would have lost 8,000 lives in the region 20000 people would have been infected from the ebola virus disease today. they came late, they came huge and supported us and we appreciate that. >> tolbert i think that's a very resounding compelling conclusion to our 90 minutes together this morning. thank you so much for being so compassionate and candid and detailed and taking on all of these multitudes now issues with such clarity and sensitive and thank you for the leadership that you have demonstrated and sustained over many months. your contribution is just enormous and the story that you tell is a very positive story at the end of the day and so thank you so much for being with us. congratulations on the results.

everything we do abroad within the state department and usaid is within that 1%. everything. thank you the businesses we try to help, to marry to economic opportunities in the country, all the visas, the consulate work, the diplomacy, the coordination of dhs, fbi atf, i mean all the efforts that we have to engage in to work with other countries intelligence organizations, so forth, to help do the diplomacy around that is less than 1%. i guarantee you more than 50% of the history of this era is going to be written out of that 1% and the issues we confront in that 1%. and i ask you to think about that as you contemplate the budgets. because we've been robbing peter to pay paul and we've been stripping away our ability to help a country deal with those kids who may be ripe for becoming part of isil. we've been diminishing our capacity to be able to have the kind of impact we ought to be having in this more complicated world. now, i'm not going to go in to all of the detail because i promised i'd summarize. but i believe the united states is leading extraordinarily on the basis o

and even the other day when i was speaking about yemen, somebody from usaid noted how much we have increased our economic assistance to yemen over the years. but described it as fully integrated in supporting our counterterrorism effort. so our development work, our governance work was all put within the context of counterterrorism. so are we looking at yemen as a compliant partner in a proxy war? or are we willing to go back to as was described looking at the various stresses on the state and on the society that over the last couple of years really have undermined the legitimacy and efficacy of the government and allowed the extremist narrative to become the operative one. we used to be very much engaged in governance and development projects in yemen. we are never the largest donor, but we were an active donor. and yemen was at one point an emerging but indigenous democratic experiment. in fact, the first community of democracy summit held. i think what washington has been doing over the last several years as we opted for the first, the first alternative that we have seen yemen solely with

if you take just the parts of the usaid and state department which is about, you know .3 billion, that represents a 6% increase i guess. the point i'm making is are you prepared to give us what within about if we institutionalize oco, a large increase? that's how simple it is to if you want to institutionalize it please do. and while you're at it up into the mouth we need to do the other things i've talked about. >> and if we were to do that then no more oco funds would be requested to? >> no. look, you are always good have an emergency. senator, no way for me to come in front of you and tell you -- >> i understand that but speed is that's going to require a kind of oco. so i think it's important to have come i don't want to be flippant about this i do think it's important to have an overseas contingency fund. >> we have always dealt with issues like that with supplemental but the problem with oco, i think all of us recognize, it's kind of just and off-line, you know budgetary and not that we do with him would just increase oco funds. switch later we shouldn't have. >> the way to deal

shaw he said that afghan was allocated or appropriated a billion in foreign aid through usaid but they can't account for 300$300 million and as you are going through taking our aid and i would feel better if it was branded. that is the american taxpayer's money and i agree with these other people if we are sending our money over there, i think they need to know where it is coming from. and i know that is an issue in itself because that causes resentment but as you go into those areas what are the biggest obstacles you are going into to make sure we have accountable of the products or whatever it is you are taking in there, that it is not falling into the wrong hands. >> that is something we take issue with. it is less about the resentment and more about the protection of our partners. if they are seen as working for the americans, then that can put them in danger. so that is the real issue rather than the resentment issue. >> how do other countries handle that. and this is another question. we've given $3 billion since the beginning of this. are the collection of other countries, have

at the time, the world health organization country offices our development partners at usaid, these organizations were focused on development work. so the measure of this to give that emergency support to look at this as a threat to humanity, had not come, we did not receive the international support by march, april, may, june, july. and so we were calling the world attention that this was a global public health problem. that needed the international community's support. so the world health organization general did announce margaret chen, that own la in the region was to be elevated to extreme of disease dynamic global international public health problem. then my very, very good friend tom frieden who i must congratulate here, the head of the centers for disease control sent in some very strong epidemiologists and the rest of the cdc folks to visit liberia, and then we sat down and established the incident management system in august which the president of liberia asked me to lead. and so i chaired the management system put in place, call it incident management structure. with key key areas. thos

at the time by country offices, our development partners usaid these organizations were focused on development work. so the emergency initiative of these to give that support to look at this as a threat to humanity have not come. we did not receive that international support by march april, may june, july. so we were calling the world's attention that this was a global health problem that needs the international community support. so by august the world health organization director general did announce that ebola in the region was to be elevated to face three of disease endemic as global international public health problem. then my very, very good friend tom freeney who i must congratulate your, the head of the center for disease control visited the liberia in august, said in some very strong epidemiologist and the rest of the cdc folks visited liberia and then we sat down and established the incident management system in august, which the president of liberia asked me to lead. so i cheered it, put in place what i will call incident management structure with key areas. those structures did exi

the committee, now it's been expanded to authorities beyond the department of defense but also to usaid state department, and how is that -- hozz that -- how has that worked in afghanistan? i know senator mccaskill asked about contractors and we had money going to our enemies, money going to people who were misusing our funds to work against our interests. so how is that -- the task force to implement that working? >> it's been a game-changer as well. probably about 7 -- 700 or 800 contractors, only about 100 plus have been able to are the through. it's denied insurgents probably $8 billion in money where we haven't put toward those contracts where the enemy would have access. we continue to work that. most of that for me is what we call over the horizon, so i don't have them on the ground but we reach back very quickly with that. based on that success nato has also adopted that methodology to work the contracting piece. >> thank you, general. >> senator donnelly. >> thank you mr. chairman. general, thank you for meeting with me yesterday, i appreciated your time. i agree with that ther

cdc experts are tracking cases, nih teams are testing van vaccines opinion usaid worker, on the field and countless of maeshz on the front lines. while i take great pride in the fact that our government organized this effort, and i it can larry want to thank secretary burwell and her team at health and human services for the outstanding work that they did, we weren't working alone. i just had a chance to meet with some leading philanthropists who did so much and are now committed to continuing the work and finding new ways in which we can build platforms not only to finish the job with respect to ebola, but also to be able to do a more effective surveillance prevention and quick response for diseases in the future. other nations have joined the fight and we're going to keep working together because our common security depends on all of us. that's why we launched the global health security agenda last year, to bring more nations together to better prevent and detect and respond to future outbreaks before they become epidemics. this was a wake-up call. and why it's going to be so import

he certainly is somebody that led the agency at the usaid extremely well and we certainly are sorry to see him leave the administration that my guess is that at least for all of us in this room it's not the last time we've heard. [inaudible] depending on what the house and senate to do and is there any sort of conversation plan? >> there currently is no plan to make a public statement about this but if we've learned anything about the cliffhanger moment in congress over the last few years it's that the unpredictable can happen and it may necessitate a statement. so stay close and we will keep you posted. >> i will give you the last one and then we will do the week ahead. >> i want to ask about the back-and-forth going on between the white house and the trade issue into a blog post from the white house in the comments to politico. is that to make sure that she feels the trouble in the trade deal and very concerned i will make a couple observation i didn't see the comments in politico so i can't react to anything that she may say. they have and will continue to work very closely with the

at the time to country offices usaid, these organizations were focused on development work so the initiative of this to give that support to look at this as a threat to humanity we did not receive that international support until march april, may june, july so we were calling to attention that this was a global health problem that needed the international community support. so by august the world health organization director announced that ebola in the region was to be elevated to phase three of disease pandemic as a global public health problem and my very good tom franey the head of the center for disease control center in liberia in august sent in some very strong epidemiologists and the rest of the cdc liberia and then we sat down and established the incident management system in which the president of liberia asked me to leave. i chaired it and put in place and incident management structure with key areas. the structures did exist before the meeting was established. whether you had to make it strong combined with international experts. so with that the ims system was -- because if you l
