And then it obviously to the pentagon and white house a very short order. It really works for the secretary of defense and the president. And the difference between what j sock does compared to what the cias special activities or paramilitary division does, what is the real difference . Guest there is certainly an overlap between those two organizations now, and you will often find the members of each organization on the same battlefield, as battlefield, as it were, or in the same embassy doing the same work. The obvious difference is the joint special Operations Command leader who has a lot more, a lot more firepower. The special Activities Division you would expect to be working and battlefields in which the United States is not at work with, perhaps, slightly shadier characters in the military. And the different authority, different Legal Authority in the military, but there is not increasingly, especially in the last few years, joint special Operations Command, special Mission Unit
Former intelligence officials from the clinton, bush and obama demonstrations spoke monday about the Government Security clearance process and recommendations for moving the system. From the Wilson Center, this is an hour and a half. Good morning welcome bright and early on monday to the Wilson Center. I and jane harman, president ceo recovering politician for many many years, too many for some of my detractors. I spent time in the house of representatives working on security and intelligence issues and numbers of people sitting here are my friends on a bipartisan basis. Im very excited that we are doing something truly useful this morning, which is to host a Panel Discussion on security clearance, and nextgen overhaul. If you dont understand what nextgen means you probably should leave the room. Todays problems are digital. Too many of our policies and politicians are analyzed. Anyone who has held a secret or top secret clearance knows what i mean. Parts of our system fit the 19th cen
Representatives working on security and intelligence issues and numbers of people sitting here are my friends on a bipartisan basis. Im very excited that we are doing something truly useful this morning, which is to host a Panel Discussion on security clearance, and nextgen overhaul. If you dont understand what nextgen means you probably should leave the room. Todays problems are digital. Too many of our policies and politicians are analyzed. Anyone who has held a secret or top secret clearance knows what i mean. Parts of our system fit the 19th century like the paper timecards we are stuck with it. Not kidding. Bottom line if we want a workforce with secure and talented our approach to security clearances needs an overhaul asap. The way we do business right now and at least three serious problems. First, we are not getting the right people in the door. More than ever we need individuals with Language Skills and cultural staff working in National Security but its too hard for a native

Theres not much doubt mcmaster has been a mainstream republican. In the last president ial cycle, he endorsed former utah governor jon huntsmanseen by many as one of the most moderate gop candidates. Consultant joel sawyer handled huntsmans campaign hereand i asked sawyer today whether mcmasters trump support signals the start of a South Carolina Republican Party shift toward trump. Well see but i think the larger thing that it presents is that there is a a growing sense of inevitability. For donald trump as the nominee. You know the idea that donald trump will not only be a serious contender but the frontrunner a year ago would have been laughable to me. It would have been laughable to probably Henry Mcmaster or anyone who watches politics. But now you have him poised to do very well in iowa, maybe even place first in iowa and nobodys even close to him in New Hampshire and South Carolina right now.
