Im rod smith. Natalie is off tonight. First up, a woman hit in the face with a stray bullet in brooklyn. Police want to hear from anyone who can tell them who these vehicles belong to. Michael george is in coney island with more information. Reporter imagine this. Youre walking down the street minding your own business and all of a sudden bullets start shooting in all directions. An mta bus camera caught these images, a blue suburban followed by a silver mercedes. Police think these cars are responsible for a coney island shooting that left a bullet in the face. That, its very devastating because i have my little daughter here. Reporter a 57yearold woman was walking on the sidewalk when she heard the shots, then felt pain in her cheek.

Justices have set on the court. So i have sat on the court. So i have been there awhile. Brian what brought you there . Tony i went to law school for a brilliant four week career and then i went into journalism and i was transferred to washington and my editor said if i could handle the new jersey Supreme Court, i could handle the u. S. Supreme court. I have covered it ever since and it is the best beat in town. Brian why . Tony because there is such for friday that we have to cover. We have a Death Penalty case one day, samesex marriage, you know, some of the biggest issues facing the country. It is never boring. The other thing is, unlike the white house beat and the congressional beat, we are not really dealing with politicians in the same sense that they are politicians. The justices are not elected. They actually have very little interest, generally, in talking with the press. But they are trying to solve these problems and these disputes and it is just an interesting, fascinating
For giving us another day. While members come to the end of a long weekend of constituent visits, bless them and those with whom they consult, among those they represent, with wisdom, patience and generosity as they seek law and policy that benefits not only local interests but, where possible, the greater common good of our country. We again ask you to impel those who possess power here in the capitol to be mindful of those whom they represent, who possess little or no power. Finally, bless those men and a women who work faithfully here at the capitol from staffers to maintenance, to security, all who serve to enable the engines of legislation to proceed without distraction of day to day concerns. May all that is done today be for your greater honor and glory, amen.

The chair will now lead t
For you you have to start your work earlier. So when you come up to a milestone and cost estimates done and the programs Acquisition Strategy is laid out theres very little you can do. But i think the congress and this committee by getting invested in programs earlier say three years before that milestone create the expectation that you want that to come in at a high confidence level, you want the risks identified. And youre willing to either one pay for the risk of reduction like the admiral talked about or youre willing to offload some of the requirements to bring the system down. But the work would have to start earlier to position it for success. Thank you very much. Thank you very much for your extraordinarily interesting insightful testimony and for your service to the nation. On behalf of chairman cane i will adjourp the hearing. Thank you.
