An Army Aviation Restructuring Initiative both of those combine to be 6 billion. If we dont get those reforms. Were going to have to find 6 billion, and find another half a billion for brac, thats who it costs every year for excess infrastructure. If we dont get those things, were going to have to find that money somewhere. Great thank you. For navy and marine corps, it is slowing down the growth of pay and compensation. Its we simply have to do that. We are at the point where were choosing betw...

Into harms way without necessary readiness. Im having a very difficult time in light of the six months that weve been at war in iraq and syria against isis and in light of the president s authorization for the yoous of military force or aumf that is now before congress for this krgsz. Im having a very hard time understanding what the strategy is. And i want to make sure that, as my colleagues have said, that we fund our military well beyond the budget caps in the sequester levels. I agree with t...

Hearings, there are many experts who would contend the complexity of the geopolitics that led to the u. S. Retreat from europe created an opening for putin and the ukraine. Clearly we must closely coordinate with our european friends for the sanctions against russia to work but i think without any doubt we can all agree on one point and that is that the United States must take the lead. I believe the administration the legislation passed with unanimous consent in both houses of congress. It auth...

It has become standard. I agree with you. That was the intent of the 90s act. Use a different model. That is what this proposed rule is going to do as well. Use it in a way that accomplishes the goal that will be very flexible. Let me ask you this question. The constitutionality of the epa setting standards has been published before. He upheld approaching the the 19 night independent in whitman versus American Trucking in 2001. In 2011 the Supreme Court ruled the epa has the authority to set sta...

And that also and this is very important and this gets back to the earlier discussion of sequester if its in the base budget, it is the base upon which we build our future budgets, and we need stability. We need a horizon so that we know what our budget is going to be not only this year but in years to come. Otherwise, we cant spend it efficiently, and we cant spend it strategically. We need that kind of horizon and sequester is what robs us of that, and thats why its bad in a manage yearal sens...

It comes back operationally, we do tolerate failure. The first thing in the field, this is not a zero mentality. People make mistakes. Theres fog and friction and we reward innovation and i think it exists. Constitutional ly institutionally, its a little harder. But in the acquisition realm the processes are not they grind on so its not that they dont reward innovation. Its that innovation and new ideas dont naturally arise from it because theres a risk aversion. Everybody wants a piece of it, t...

Deeper impact because you have to get the money where you have to get it. You cant shed it quickliness. You cant shed excess infrastructure quickly enough. You cant terminate contracts because of the penalties involved. Even if youre taking more than you should out of readiness. I think readiness suffers more than you think. Thank you. Mr. Secretary, i share in the terms of my colleagues and the other o if i believes in the detriments of sequestration. But im also skbresed in efficient ways. Spe...

Military level over there and things at the political level, both of which are change inging. Thank you very much. Thank you, mr. Chairman. And general dempsey, i join my colleagues in sending warm wishes your way and thank you you for your more years of serving o our great nation. Mr. Mccord, i would like to chat about the budget thats upcoming. The House Budget Committee chairman proposed boosting the Defense Budget with an increase of allocation. Is an oko dollar just as useful as a base budg...

Business to keep track of all of its transactions and all of its customers. And if the government can then just say, all right, now, give us all that information, then theyve reduced the Fourth Amendment to a nullity. The final point ill make is that dont be confused with the idea that theres Something Special about hotels. The amount of government regulation here is massive. The reason that the deputy solicitor general is here on behalf of the United States is that there are hundreds and hundre...

Forces there for the nearterm at least. But that when we rely on this, as we have since the end of the cold war, we end up with free rider problems and friends and allies that did not do not fully ante up to what they committed to. I have been arguing for a peace through strength approach, particularly the restoration on the Global Response force capability. We deal with nationstates and transnational actors. Im talking about the former not the latter. This idea of deterrence, deterrence being d...
