Can you hear me . Somebody say rolled high. [laughter] come on. You dont insult a guy when he shows up. Thank you so much for taking the time in your busy lives for what i think is an important topic in this time in our nation. What brings mike rogers to spend some time with you today . As the commander of the United States Cyber Command, three primary missions. Like many of you, responsibility for defending networks, in this case, the department of defense. A pretty large operation. Second mission for United States Cyber Command is to generate the cyber dedicated workforce. That workforce will work from the defensive side to the offensive side. That is about 6200 people. We are halfway through the process of creating that workforce. The Third Mission is one directed by the president and the secretary of defense, to defend u. S.

I want to read briefly from the hearing transcript. In 1954, senator mccarthy accused a woman named diana hogue of being a communist. She worked at the Westinghouse Company in a small town in new york, making 1. 71 per hour. The similarities to the hearing today are striking. Ms. Hogue said this, i have never engaged in espionage or sabotage. I am not so engaged. I will not so engage in the future. I am not a spy nor saboteur.

A far greater priority. Even with the organizational boxes come if you do not fix the cultural problem, those organizational shifts will be meaningless. You have to really address some of these cultural issues. That is the secretaries challenge. That made you have to incentivize and have people have a positive solution oriented to start over. That is a very daunting prospect and that is when it comes to. Couple ofn to a specific questions. President obama made clear in his speech and identify that priority of strengthening operation and making progress on Nuclear Arms Control and sustaining a strong deterrent. Is a load the president above the nsa level. Mind, part of the government appointed at, there is that capability. The capability will need strong backing. There is always resistance to change.
