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 sequestration. Those will take place elsewhere . Those forces forward wont be as dramatic. As you know ive been worrying about afghanistan. General dempsey told our committee theres a terrorist network that stretches from afghanistan to nigeria. He went onto say i think afghanistan is and will remain an anchor point for that pressure. Do you agree with that. I think a plat form for which the United States can protect its swres is absolutely correct. Am i right to worry ant those are based on mo
The poor, elderly, and most of our liberal in our society pursed first. At a time when indiana is doing all it can to grow its economy the epa proposal proposed that it will slow our economic progress in raise peoples utility bills. In indiana, we are obviously concerned about the Economic Impact of the proposed rules on business and consumers, but we have also filed that he one pages of technical comments. We want to make sure the rule does not result in unintended consequences such as reduced reliability resulting in ground outs. Or not yet having all the necessary infrastructure in place to convert from coal to natural gas. For purposes of due diligence, indiana is evaluating all available responses to the proposed regulations from submitting estate plan to participating in original approach, or simply refusing to apply at all. However, the fact that this misguided policy will affect hoosiers and other people in this country while actually increasing the worldwide level of the very
Freedom information act, and they do not try to point any exemptions for National Security or classification reasons, it would be an unprecedented event as far as i know. The state department is incredibly aggressive. All agencies of the federal bureaucracy are incredibly aggressive impacting information that could be classified. The notion that the secretary of state, in the course of her duties, could write 55,000 pages or receive 55,000 pages of email and not one ioda of it is classified, would be very difficult for me or for anyone who is somebody with the freedom of information act to believe. I am confident it will be an interesting thing because the state department, as they process request, will have to decide they will look at an email and say, this is classified but if they try to read acted as such, they are making a liar out of the Hillary Clinton defenders. It will be interesting to see how they perceive when they hit that conundrum, but i would be shocked if there is not
Said they were able to legally work in United States. Very few of the people are being prosecuted for these felonies. Would jeh johnson move to prosecute them . If you did that it would be a big to turn for more illegal aliens to come into the United States and take american jobs. Now called just a civil infraction. It should be a crime. Those are the two comments. Secretary johnson has not that he willally direct u. S. Customs and immigration to go after employees who are working. What they are doing is more employer verification, everify is out there for employers to determine if your legal authorization to work. I9 in the audits of your and it verifies we are a u. S. Citizen, if your paperwork is not in order, the they are going after the employer more often. States including arizona have verify their own e requirements to punish employers and target employers. The ideas is if you take away the magnet come you take away the draw. Yes. Nt have any stats it is relatively early so we a
Stories i came across of the person who actually took the photograph. He was a white southern photographer and it was during the sitins that he actually had a change of heart. He was a segregationist when he walked into that woolworths and he was an integrationist when he walked out because he saw the quiet dignity of the demonstrators against the mob mentality of his friend and neighbors. And he realized that segregation could no longer rule. It was a very powerful story. Thats what we had in the book. You also mentioned medgar evers. How much did you get into his murder and the investigation . Well we start the book with his story. Call it, medgars mississippi. We paint the picture what mississippi was like at that time. What it was like for somebody like medgar to come back for the war where he fought for freedom in his country and not be able to experience it himself. So his story is is really woven throughout and of course with his assassination which is part of the book. It tells
