Senator donnellys question about your concern about count fitted parts. And i believe you said that you do have a concern about that. I just wanted to ask you one question though. You do have a concern about counterfeit parts. I i heard that correctly. Yes. I was wondering if you are aware of any technological product that can be embedded in parts to ensure it is not a counterfeit part. Senator im not aware of any specific chip or whatever that you can embed in it. What i am aware of is that our...

Privilege of operating. Admiral greenert cannot be here due to a death in his family but im joined by the very able vice chief, admiral michelle howard. Uniquely, the navy and marine corps provide presence around the globe around the clock. The nations first line of defense. Presence means we respond faster. We remain on station longer. We carry everything we need with us. And we do whatever missions are assigned by our nations leaders without needing anyone elses permission. We have always know...

The state of colorado and the workforce men and women of for your presence there. And i thank you for that. On the Virginia Class Program along with the virginia payload module and the ohio replacement, as we faced significant budget challenges, secretary, can you tell us how is your ability to keep those programs on track at the president s budget level or if we have to drop back to bca levels or even worse, how is it impacted if sequestration goes into effect to keep those programs on track . ...

Our training, the last sequestration we had air wings that had to go down to a hard deck which meant the very minimum training. Our marines training at home station, the ones next to deploy and the ones after that all have suffered under the first sequestration and it would be, i think a fair word is devastating, in terms of the navys ability to respond to crisis, to surge to meet a near peer adversary to do the things that america has come to expect and should expect from its navy and marine co...

Those are not easy things. The last thing, theres four parts to the department of defense. There are the four services, the three departments. Army, navy, air force. But theres also the department of defense. Can i take a shot at that, sir . Whoever. Im going to defend my two Service Chiefs here. Their staffs have not grown. Were not growing. The staffs are staying steady. Were doing a 20 reduction in headquarters staff. But, again its what we call the fourth estate. The department of defense ag...

Screeria nigeria. As chief of Naval Operations and id like to thank you, admiral green ert, for your 40 years of distinguished service to our navy and i wish you and darleen all the best in the future. In the last three months, some of americas most strategic thinkers have offered this committee a clear, unified assessment of worldwide threats and u. S. National strategy. As dr. Kissinger testified on january 29 tth, the United States has not faced aid more diverse and complex array of crises si...

Employees. We have a body of law and several years at least of experience. But title 7 has been worked out perfectly but its very controversial. One of the things that developed quite late sometimes 50 years after it passes. For example, right here, weve been told that title 7 can be used in terms of Sexual Orientation and gender identity. Nobody would have thought that in 1964. And maybe thats the right way to interpret it, or maybe its the wrong way. But its wrong to suggest that the language ...

One of the Top Priorities we have is presence. You wont see a Budget Reduction in our forward presence. Japan, singapore and guam will continue to increase. We are increasing the forces in the european command as we look at how were going to deploy in the future. Strictly for the reason you stated with the instability in the africom and the ucom region. Its not dramatic, but it is there. So the asia pacific wont take a hit from the sequestration and our european presence will not take a hit from...

Numbers that might be interesting, contributions from people, and he said see if there are particularly any from castro and cuba from mcgovern, but they were looking for anything obrien might have used to embarrass him. Heres one of the interesting things about watergate. So much credence is given to the fact that how could they be so stupid and foolish . Well, they were just that stupid and foolish. And they cant believe it z s ieekognu but 5 2 it was apparent, readily apparent, within you know...

Involved. Can you help make that happen . Because the concern is the body abaddy a lot of folks are from the previous administration. And youve had extraordinary experience in the an bar area and can you help to identify the key sunni moderate leaders to make them part of this and is that what is going to you look and say we think were going to get it right this time and how do you think this turns out . Sir, to answer both of your questions, we are encouraged and we continue to encourage the le...
