Just a moment. First, taking a live look at embarcadero in San Francisco, this storm is going to move in soon. Meteorologist Neda Iranpour is tracking the rain. Its arrived just in time for the lunch hour across the north bay. So yes, they are getting wet across places just north of santa rosa. So let me zoom in and show you where. Strong cells in the area at a quarter inch per hour. So dillon beach you just saw a cell come through and move to tomales, bodega bay over you for the past 30 minutes. Light rain right now in santa rosa, rohnert park and oakmont. So the north bay just as expected getting rain at this hour and then heres whats to come. As we set this in motion, by 2 p. M. San francisco will see more, redwood city will see more. 4 00, widespread showers. That afternoon commute will be wet. And its coming down pretty heavily. We have been seeing it hanging over Northern California pretty much all morning before it reached the north bay. Be it has been a slow system which means
Reporter Police Rushed in just after the first shots rang out. It was just loud, like one big, loud bang, made my ears ring. I knew it was a gunshot. Reporter witnesses say a 59yearold drifter, john russel houser, stood up in the crowded theater and opened fire. He looked like he was very calm, standing there, kind of walking down the aisle and firing. Reporter two people were killed in the attack, nine others wounded. Shock. Shocked. I dont even know what to say about the situation. Reporter today, as their investigation continues, police are learning more about the man they say is responsible. He clearly knew what he was doing, clearly had some kind of a plan, because he bought the ticket, in the theater, he had the gun. Reporter a plan that according to officers, became more clear as they searched the hotel he had been living in. We found wigs and glasses and disguises basically in his room. It is apparent that he was intent on shooting and then escaping. Reporter things apparently
In a natural relationship. But that being said, you dont want to create the government has a responsibility to the taxpayer to be fair and to be transparent. You have to do that. The question becomes how can you do that but at the same time give industry the flexibility to do what they need to do . I dont know there is a good answer which is why acquisition reform has been a buzzword for decades and continues to be something we continue to strive for and continue to struggle with. But i would say that is probably the hard problem of the century. But nevertheless it is something we have to continue to strive to get better because there is a balance between letting industry innovate and letting industry take responsibility and put goods into the hands of the war fighter that meet the war fighters needs and making sure that the responsibility to the taxpayer is upheld. So before i go, let me follow up with a specific question. Is there one word, based on your current understanding of wher
Traditional and in some ways Old Fashioned area of technology, yet one of very rapid and ongoing innovation. Very central to the performance of our military forces as well. And were going to talk about software and the ways in which systems, electronic systems, countermeasure systems that have heavy electronics and i. T. Component have to be thought about today, have to be improved. All of this relates clearly to some big themes in defense, budgeting, Defense Strategy, to what extent is Technology Changing so fast that we need to emphasize pursuit of a revolution of military affairs perhaps even more than we have been. To what extent do we need to get on top of a new wave of innovation and make sure our adversaries dont do it first. Or what extent is this an ongoing evolutionary process and a lot of exciting important things are happening but we dont need to get overly excited or disruptive about our approach to defense resource allocation. And the broadest of all senses it relates to
Think of me and us as a resource to help navigate that. What i brought today for the purposes of an introduction, im glad to answer any questions about our body of work but i highlights pages to two testimonies and theyre on the table over there. One was a testimony in may of 2010 before this committee, and it was based on a report that came out in july of 2009. And we were asked to look out how much progress had sba made in implementing the Small Business Disaster Response and improvement act of 2008. Its a mouthful. Ill now call it the 2008 act. Very important piece of legislation. It was a good way to look at progress sba had made from basically the problems that incurred during katrina and rita and it was also what remained to be done. The other thing we did was extensive fieldwork looking at the response of the 2008 disasters, which were of a smaller magnitude of katrina or sandy. It was the midwest floods and hurricane ike in particular where we did extensive fieldwork and we cou
