Dozens of Different Missions for decades are simply shocking and unacceptable. It is the u. S. That is footing most of the bill for the peacekeepers who are committing these atrocities against men, women, and children. If the people who we are funding and supporting to the peacekeepers cannot be trusted our support for peacekeeping is at risk of doing more harm than good. Listen to act, not just to bring an end to Sexual Exploitation. Simply providing peacekeeper and police does not fulfill a Member States obligation. It is the responsibility of Member States to oversee the appropriate units. It is a struggle. Contributing countries are deploying in order to get troops paid we are not attracting the best, most capable forces from around the world. Before we make progress, we have to institute meaningful accountability for nations and their peacekeepers that connect these crimes. Ive been forward to exploring ways we can help the u. N. Push for accountability that is meaningful to and t
Resources into all the stations and as youre going through the process. The organizational span of control, we know is too wide, as you noted in your in the meeting we had yesterday and its not mission focused. So i appreciate particularly what youve been highlighting on the customer focus of metro and the need to have a much more customer focused work force and to have that be certainly a top priority. I was able to go up to the rock recently, the rail operations control center, and i know one of the biggest concerns that i had had when i read articles like the washingtonian back in december, was the training program. I noticed in the recent audit that they identified training as a key problem area. Any way we can help you as you go through that process of revitalizing and changing that training so we have the best people available and get the most value for the money and resources were putting in here. I thank the chairman for allowing us to join you here today. I thank the general m
Program should be reformed in that direction, and i have also argued for a wage enhancement credit that would allow an individual to receive an extra 4 an hour because at least theyre working. The longer you are unemployed the harder it is to give reemployed again. We have offered a number of Innovative Solutions to deal with that. The government obligation is to create systems for individuals have fallen on hard times can get back up and try again. In some cases it is a lifestyle and in other cases system that traps you. We need to cure poverty and are not doing that right now. Thank you for your emphasis on innovation. I can tell you firsthand startups have trouble. Our local universities train a lot of foreignborn students, some of whom are undocumented, like i have been since the 1st grade. As president what would you do to help foreignborn students and dreamers like me who want to stay in this country and work in this country . I believe we need to pass immigration reform. I just
There have been open source pictures of the extensive nature of the buildup there your conclusion, i think, is right. This is not about simply propping up the assad regime but i think thats a component of it. This is a fundamental shift and i believe mr. Putin understands political math the same way i do. I view it as having to suffer for 15 more months, he views it as an opportunity for that same period of time. And hes heck bent on changing the dynamic. They will now have a foothold in the Eastern Mediterranean for the foreseeable future. Our secretary of state holds a meeting to deconflict airspace when the russians attack in the middle east. That is a remarkable change from whether it was eisenhower but you dont to go to a republican. It was a change from a consistent u. S. Policy, democrat, republican president s alike that said the soviets, now russians, will not have a foothold in will not be the Regional Power inside the United States and we now have the iranian russian axis th
We have a lot more time and more maturity in the airplane we have upgraded that list. The 80 number you heard at eglin, which was accurate, for the entire fleet today is about half that now. Thats not the best part of the story. Thats the whole fleet. The best part is the lot 6 and 7 airplanes were fielding today were improving today because of the things in the last two years, they are only seeing a handful of 1s and 2s everyday. And that 40 includes the 80 includes all the older airplanes that until they are upgraded, they are going to still have that issue but the newer airplanes, much better. The general has experience with the new airplanes at Hill Air Force base that they have been using. He might be able to tell you more. Those airplanes, maam, we have three of them up there. They have not lost a sortie since they delivered them. As we have delivered these newer airplanes, they are performing really well. Eglin still has older ones and struggle with the older systems the Program
