At some point come to stumble when im assembled leaders and you typed a lot about what is going to land in what is going to use. What can lose is for structure. All the Service Chiefs are grappling with this he dilemma. How do you modernize and made team for structure at the same time . 80,000, 31,000 of them are all volunteers, coast guard auxiliary. Whatever you multiply by zero, you get zero. They provide millions of free manhours sorting Coast Guard Missions that dont involve putting themselves at risk, mostly Recreational Boating community, but i cant come for structure. Maybe make difficult decisions about operations do not cut appeared with always defined itself by love and Statutory Mission and some pages get rid of one of those missions. Each one of those has a mundane line when you divest of omission, all you have at the end of the day is a smaller coast guard. 100 years ago was when the coast guard first came into being. The first commandant of the coast guard was under attack by the Taft Commission to strip away all of this in the fall of your authorities into the navy and realized it would cost the navy 40 more of what it costs at that point, the Revenue Cutter Service to do with it it on a daytoday basis. You are not going to find it and many platforms are Swiss Army Knives that cannot read in multiple domains including working sidebyside with the department of defense. People are the most critical asset that you may have to trim operations in you may have to slow down and acquisition as painful as it is you can recover from that. When you get rid of people its difficult to bring back then absent a major contingent elected 9 11. My approach to her Human Resource capitalists to hold fast on the Human Resource capital we have an look at where theres opportunities for further growth in the cyberdomain. On Climate Change and how is it pricing a how is Climate Change going to change the coast guards job in the next few decades . That is a tough one. I used the open water verse ice cover water comparison. The clec expansion of open water. It is widely agreed that the water temperature is rising and sea level is rising. Publishers going back in the phenomenon is to have more frequent and more severe typhoons. We are just clearing out a category to typhoon that just hit saipan. Several assets here today. Two years ago supertype said if the philippines with the highest ever recorded winds of nearly 200 miles an hour. If you imagine a tornado 60 miles across. If one of those hit the United States, we might be convinced of what is going on with the World Climate today. Rising temperature in a swatter X Enterprises as well. Lowlying islands in the Pacific Islands are inundated with water. Those are the challenges we need to look at. Infrastructure built today is going to be around 100 years from now to factor in the rise of five seawater. An area that doesnt get attention as greenland. When you look at greenland as creatures and all common it is freshwater and it stinks. At the things that displays his former salt water to the surface. Youve got cold case and you have this temperature gradient that usually causes more severe when it accelerates erosion, more isps released so you cant put this on a linear model. If you dont plan for that with the coastal infrastructure, but when he did take those into account as we look at the challenges. You cant plan this and plan this in two, four or 60 windows of time. We need to think 10, 15 years out. Its very easy to delay the decision if its not going to happen on my watch. Am i watching it to make sure three commandants right now at the state attention to some of this. We are keeping a close eye on this. How much of navigable waters increased in the arctic . I wouldnt say its increased. Theres more activity appeared. It is running from the area and see to greenland carried over a thousand passengers next year through the northwest passage. There is no navigation up there. As i said earlier, much of the area is 5 charger to go because 21st century standards. The charting void that is that there is of great concern is because it does fly pentacle does fly pinnacle. They receive not named after the coast guard because they found one and rises 10,000 feet. They found that, but thats a big concern right now is to look at charting common navigation. We also look at a Traffic Separation Scheme and buried straight to assure you dont have collisions at sea as well. A couple similar questions. Should the navy take possession of the coast guard skyscrapers, what would you say to giving up the mission, also how important is said to have more than just a few icebreakers modernize what you have given russias proliferation of military assets in the arctic region now. How is the Arctic Mission changing given russias new build up . We may probably once a week see an attack. But the chairman and the other Service Chiefs and each year we have staff for fighters and like the discussions about the art and i am confident admiral greener does not want a nice break emission. What is the need to do in the 21st century . It needs to break ice. Russia is militarizing the arctic in an area of access denial. If elected an icebreaker into the future, make sure you reserve power to put the suns in a nice environment to protect u. S. Sovereignty and those are the discussions we are having. Not to pass this to one or the other. Look at the future requirements of the heavy icebreaker. Its got to do a multitude of things. Make sure that the modularity be used as an instrument. Another part of the world of the South China Sea. Some of the coast never called this a Success Story. If you hear a lot about the asiapacific, what specifically is the coast guard to locate in its limited resources, given its ranking budget, given its trying to rob peter to pay paul. What is the role in the diplomacy in South China Sea and anything else in that region . Next month i will be in the philippines. I will be in vietnam and ms. Xray discussion five other nations including russia, including china, including japan, korea, canada will be at the table as well. China has created a coast guard was seagoing services and others for appeared for the Services Come under the auspices of the china coast guard. A lot of discussion we should deploy coast guard cutters to the eastern South China Sea. Our u. S. Policy right now is nonintervention. Now youve caught the bus. What do you do with it . If i send one ship over there, china can send to my one and japan can send six to one. A numbers game ill never win. The one ship over there to me i look at the real opportunity cost. Last fall we rode out a strategy as the western hemisphere. The uss kaufman, the last of them to be decommissioned but with a perry class doing the lions share of the lot of this drug interdiction activity weve seen in the western hemisphere with coast guard lawenforcement teams embarked on those. The navy is rebalancing some tradeoffs being made as well. If they are vacating one region, i need to make sure i double down on the voip created by the navy. The opportunity cost is significant if i send one ship to the eastern South China Sea. The dog that catches the pass, what is our policy Going Forward and avoid that have left behind as well. We have written a cooperative strategy for the 21st century navy, coast guard marine corps. I look at the coast guard is feeling some of those vacuum spots created as a navy rebalances, where can the coast guard fill those requirements as a seagoing surveys . Has the coast guard has a strong ability to share resources in real times with multiple Homeland Security part is that customs and Border Patrol another spirit if not, what does help improve . Weve gotten Great Strides for the department and 1986 that goldwaternichols came to the realization we need to witness. We do not have that goldwaternichols act for the interagency partners. But we do have today is three task force. Joint Task Force East is primarily maritime, west is at the southwest border and one for Investigations Committee until piece of days. Each of the task forces have coast guard, cbp and immigration and Customs Enforcement working sidebyside. Within the department of security looks at joint requirements across in this case the army, navy and air force of the department of Homeland Security. So one of our isr platforms his minutes are that we are using a dod at a price that the coast guard is the military member saying this really works. Cbp is putting that and so were also looking at interoperability and commonality of systems makes it more affordable, parts more liable than you can also capitalize underscore houses as well. Weve come pretty far in a short time and dhs across various components. To ever see a time the coast guard returning to the department of defense . Publicly not. We can go title x which means we are military service but we also do title for it team. If you look in any campaign plan, theres probably some provision written into that bed may require lawenforcement authority in which the coast guard can bring to the table. We can just as easily do that on the fly as well. Systems are inoperable and thats a key part by systems that cant speak with dod systems. Our new platforms have openly called navy owned but fully and are operable with our navy and service brethren. When it comes to migration, do they support the policy and how do ive heard in cuba are likely to affect the matters in the region. All that you draw your conclusions but we have a new response platforms and the expectation that a migration policy will change around christmas. Didnt that that was a perception in cuba. We had a spike in migration. We were able to apprehend almost everyone of the both destined for the florida coastline but then it takes about five days to go through a screening process before the folks are brought back to cuba. Within the last two weeks we had two migrants have shot themselves and then before we met in fact to the United States. Another 4000 bleach on the ship and drank it. Others will self mutilate to do whatever it takes to get their feet dry in the United States. Meanwhile crews are trying to safeguard what theyre picking up more with the policy. Bizarre people at risk and others at risk. When you look at our policy versus what is played out off the coast of africa, we are saving lives. Many folks are in unseaworthy that might have been built around it but its a humanitarian mission as well and will go back again. The policy does make a challenge for those trying to better their lives and for those doing enforcement to be able to safeguard that until we have a clear wife to be able to repatriate them. Just a few seconds left before i have to buy the question. Golfers present you with the National Press club mug. [applause] and no country noting we are the leading organization for professional journalists and free press worldwide, i will ask you one little question. I then thats going all the way this year . 1969, dog and i meant, duncan bennett, a late acquisition was the mvp of the world series. The names have changed a little bit. They have already had the tom seaver is commensurate to his name, names like to crime and others. Theyve pitching staff in hating and the commandant of the coast guard for crying out loud. So when i threw the opening pitch tomorrow, if tomorrow, if i carry one burner and a half smashers are in the shin and is taken out for the next two weeks, [laughter] i wouldnt do that. As you know, the mets are caught up in the burning madeup scheme and they auctioned off a good part of the team. I go back to 1962 when they had no place to go but up. When you look at the coast guard, sometimes you can relate to the mets. Youve got no place to go but up. Youve got the mets destined for the world series and the coast guard doing the same thing. [applause] how about another round of applause for admiral. [applause] will see you back here hopefully august 12 with wife reverend john, id like to thank the National Press club staff and Broadcast Center for organizing todays event. If youd like a copy of todays programmer to learn more about the National Press club, please go to our website, www. Press. Work. Thank you. We are adjourned. [applause] today, bacon and Data Security experts discuss the secure credit and debit Card Transactions in the u. S. We will be live at the event hosted by the protect my Data Organization starting at noon eastern here on cspan2. What the terrorist group will direct the to put their message out on platforms that they know are accessed by the largest population possible, hundreds of thousands of people accessing the website and then bombarded with thousands and thousands of messages every day as propaganda. The messages run across the board. We are all familiar with the shocking images and its despicable what they show a public executions. They are also bombarded the same ideas with microtargeted message is the same by advertisers do. They would show a handsome young actor and one video handing out candy to children and it will be trimmed by will be trained for this will be trimmed by at the same way it might be for some other Television Show or a brand. They will show the terrorists of the gun on one hand back the other other hand he is holding a cat and other messages showed images of bucolic life here in the caliphate. So they will look to see whether or not that the largescale bombardment of images can make it someone on the hook and then start to dangle the man. Tv in prime time continues to votes on immigration. What are their origins, what do they believe . All those questions are important and addressed them in the boat. What is more important in some ways because it something they can do something about is but is the u. S. Policy regarding isis . Why isnt working . Are we doing were wrong or is there for to say there should be a war against terrorists of. Those are the questions and in some ways are the most important and will be the most useful. Next come the Senate FinanceCommittee Hearing on the Foster Care Program. Committee members heard from state health and Human Services officials of former foster child and an advocate for parents on ways to reduce the need for Foster Care Programs. This is 90 minutes. [inaudible conversations] the meeting will come to order. A proper frost one route home is the place when you have to go there, they have to take you in. Unfortunately for far too many children are foster care system that type of home is not available. Today the Senate Finance committee will hear testimony on alternatives that can reduce the reliance on Foster Care Group homes. Ive been pleased to have worked on this community with Ranking Member widened. I enjoy working with him on everything. Keep it. This is a bipartisan hearing. I appreciate senator wyden suffered to make it so. The basic premise of the hearing is simple. Whenever possible, children should grow up in a home with their family. When problems arise, tim should be made to keep children safely at home. If the child cannot be kept safely at home effort should be made to place them with fit and willing relatives. Children in need should only be placed in group homes for short periods of time. Normally when i first took place them in a safe family setting have been exhausted. Too many children in you spend years isolated and confined in Foster Care Group homes. This past may at the Committee Held a hearing on the need to safely reduce reliance on Foster Care Group homes. We heard powerful testimony from former foster youth about her negative experiences in a Foster Care Group home. The Committee Heard how expensive, and appropriate and timely gesture meant a place many times can be for many children and youths. I believe we should do what we can to reduce reliance on Foster Care Group homes. A fourth one we should refuse to spend scarce taxpayer dollars to subsidize placement that results in negative outcomes. Not only for children but other youth as well. As i sat in the past, no one would support allowing states to use federal taxpayer dollars to buy cigarettes for foster youth. In my view continuing to use taxpayer dollars to fund longterm placement in Foster Care Group homes is just as disturbed to. It is not some Public Policy to work to reduce reliance on group homes about addressing the need to support a family placement for children currently and there are frescoes one of these facilities. The purpose is to examine alternatives to
