Of course one of the most famous College Professors in american history, had agreed that when all the way into the end of the century, in his book is a chapter called the american octopus come his way of signaling his continued disagreement with what when james had 30 years prior, made all the same point. But by that point it was much much too late really for the University Organizers of model to change. Theres sort of a wellknown phenomenon where once organizations become a certainly they become more like one another over time, just basic organizational theory. The question that interested me was why it has persisted for so long. These kinds of things happen all the time. Organizations form in certain ways and eventually some comes along with some new way of doing things and the world changes. And get virtually everything that robert said about university in 1934 you could say about universities now 80 years later. Why . I believe it has a lot less to do with the virtues of a model an
Exercise that kind of intellectual leadership on technological questions that deal with future threat. I think its part san that the pentagon is much larger. It has ever service dealing with new dock frin. I dont think congress is that inclined to challenge fundamentally the kind of weapon 178 that Defense Department proposes. I think you know, congress clearly does say we dont like certain things. But its often at the margin. We dont want this, we do want that. Its too early to cut the a10. Im not sure we see too many cases. So theres certainly the possibility for events to dramatically change thinking. It might act through the Defense Department and through the military to step up to the plate. Im not a defense expert, but my experience in agencies across the government is congress is much more likely to cement adherence to the past and change things to the future. All of those members have districts. Its more common than forcing in business. Other questions . Yes, sir . Yes, i have
We have these two binding obligations. To make sure that when they go out there, they have the best equipment. We want to satisfy both all of the time. But were increasingly at the point where its muscling out those other parts of the budget. At an event, recently, undersecretary of defense for president obama. You know she talks about it through her own personal experience. The benefits there are important. And she says that concerns me far more. Im much more worried about having all the right equipment and all the things they need to accomplish the mission and survive and i am about a marginal decrease in the benefit. Thats not often what a congressman is going to hear because theres a huge amount of pressure. They dont want to have their benefits cut. Well leave it on that provocative note. Thank you for getting our conversations started today. My colleagues fpi s around to all of you for joining us. [ applause ] i believed in you. I believed in the power of millions of courageous c
President. Let gccc countries have the operation. And this operation became legitimate. And in principle, we supported this operation. And we announced that we can, if they need, we can support, we can give them a Logistic Support and intelligence. So far, we havent received any demand from the coalition. But at the end, turkeys political solution and immediate ceasefire. And humanitarian aid, we are sensitive in that. And broadbased political dialogue. Meaningful dialogue. And possibly National Unity administration or government in yemen. That is what we need. And that is turkeys position. And i was with him in tehran, and he was straight with our iranian counterpart that what iran is doing, their sectarian policy ambitious in the region is not helpful. And not helping their interests either. We were very clear with iran, but we can aaron should also be involved in the process. In this process that i mentioned in yemen. They should also use their influence that they shall withdrawal a
Has only 40 inspectors. West virginia has 56,000 active wells and as of 2011 just 20 inspectors. Pollution of Drinking Water whether from fracking or flawed construction of the well, or from surface waste from the site moving into aquifers has occurred 248 times between 2008 and 2014 in pennsylvania. We actually do not know how many incidents in total there have been because the state did not start collecting statistics on incidents until 2014. If we had more transparency, more accountable and more oversight, local communities would be able to make well wellinformed choices. However, building an oversight hearing around Public Relations campaigns to dismiss those concerns of local communities not only does a disservice to members of this committee, it also does nothing to increase the trust of the fracking industry in those communities. In closing, i would argue that it is not some hypocritical Smear Campaign by. The federal government, but rather repeated attacks against epa and campa
