I made good choices, a lot of people do, we pay for people to make bad choices, what are you going to do cut some of that out . We have now and the numbers came out we have 50 Million People in poverty in this country. You look like you are doing well in fairness. We have 50 million. 46 Million People getting food stamps. We talk about how well we are doing. Almost 50 million between poverty
Enforcement, technology, and intelligence to detect, deter, and interdict potential threats. Treaties and agreements with foreign governments to conduct corporate enforcement efforts at force overseas. The last five years to successfully enter for attempts by criminal gangs with suspected russian ties. We can talk about that either in this panel on the next. The successful disruption of the sale was a positive result, however the desire to obtain materials for a dirty bomb or the extreme materials for Nuclear Weapons are growing. Due to the the iranian deal, no matter what you think about it one way or the other and the reaction that the other middle Eastern Countries will have to iran having at their facilities, there will be more Nuclear Material out of the market which is just the way that it will be going forward. You will have more countries with more Nuclear Capability then we have probably ever seen in the world. Thats one of the reasons we will start this series of hearings up
Devices to alert the team to the prejudic presence of radiation. In 2004 we developed a maritime Radiation Detection program and maintain a close relationship to standardize the equipment and enhance the National Capacity for detection with multiple levels of capability including the ability to reach back to scientific experts for more information. We do this in conjunction with cbp and with tsas visible intermodal response. Many of our units including our coastwide sectors and our Deployable Specialized forces and our major cutters are equipped with the devices that can identify specific isotopes distinguished between manmade and Natural Sources and reach back for assistance. Specifically our Maritime Security Response Team or msrt provides the nation with the unique maritime capability for Nuclear Detection, identification, selfdecontamination and routine or hostile situations. The msrt is specifically designed and exercised to integrate with other inner agency or dod response forces

It was warranted reaction based on the tragedy that occurred on 9 11 is but we what we all know, whether from a Civil Liberties standpoint, there was problem overreach in some cases because of operational things, that were just flat out impossible to get to and in other cases from a cost standpoint they didnt prove that effective in deterring whatever it was that we were trying to deter in that particular sfreer. And i guess as i listen to this my question would be along the same lines. If you look at the briefing material it says with a dirty bomb theres not enough
Proposal to restrict the free speech of certain groups of americans by rewriting 56yearold rules governing the activity of 501c4 social welfare organizations. The irs subsequently went through them after widespread bipartisan opposition. I know we disagree on the need for changes to the rules governing c4 organizations and i know that youve committed that no new rules will take effect before 2017. But this leaves open the possibility that the irs will make proposals this year or next year creating confusion and uncertainty regarding the free speech of certain groups and their ability to engage in 7 00 activities like nonpartisan Voter Registration or candidate forums. Can you tell the committee whether any new proposals will be released before 2017 . And if so, when you expect that to happen . We are as i noted following up on a recommendation of the Inspector General who said that the facts and circumstances standard which has been used for the last years is confusing and was part of
