To the 94 bits in these graphs were rough total of 617 billion. My question is kind of a can to a congressman fleming was acting. Does it make any difference to the department of defense if the money comes to the department of defense via the base versus overseas Contingency Operations . How does that affect your ability to do it need to be done . I think i addressed that earlier when i said for the army receiving relief there are end strength provisions above 450 provides 4. 2 billion in one year relief. Im trying to explain. Ive only got a minute and 10 seconds left to so let me move onto something more specific. Look tauro combat ships that are being built in the state of alabama, secretary mabus cannot be built out of oco funds . I dont believe that under the current fund we can do new construction. Its not as good as base money in that instance. Is that a fair statement . Can you do Missile Defense out of oco money general odierno do you now . As far as i know we are not able to d
Deployments and we ended up producing hours and getting that next set of deployers ready to go we ended up delaying the deployment of carrier. When you talk about the Global Response force our ability to train our folks and their ability to have that next set ready is very much tied to the budgetary topline. Right now we have two carriers ready to go. We always have two to go. We are building up to a larger Surge Capacity but clearly with sequestration our ability to maintain that projection force generation is significantly challenged. Sir we have a designated Global Response force out of the 82nd Airborne Division that is ready to go and prepare to go.

Unfortunately i think it goes beyond damages the ability for the second airborne to force entry operations anywhere in the world. I go back to general dunfo

Host we haveaut the agents themselves are raised and dedicated but therethe agents come is a culture for treating against those that point out th problems or threats punishing agents who questioned anything on the other hand promoting agents into management go along and pretend so it is a corrupt culture and you saw an example of that when the previous direct her claim after this intrusion that he was stopped at the door and that was a total lie. How can an agency put out a lie i cut and think they can get away with it . When it came out of that wasnt true the new director was asked about that at a hearing into whether anybody would be held accountable for issuing a false information adhesive how do and he said how do you know it was an error how do you appoint anybody like that number one, to be the permanent director and number two how can anybody on the lower le
And a half from washington d. C. Its one of the, i think you go back in the 50s and 60s when these publishers had their own manufacturing sites they wantedded to find a spot out in the country where they had some farm people. They always viewed the farmers as people that would have mechanical aptitude and that they could, you know draw them into the factories which was kind of the mindb set of, you know doubleday. To biographies of prominent political figures like laura bush and joseph kennedy. Dr. Ronald kessler is the secret Service System broken . Guest this system is broken at the Management Level not necessarily the agency. The agents themselves eidetic faded, they will take a bullet for the president but there is a management culture of retaliating against those to point out problems or threats, punishing agents who question any thing, promoting agents and to management who preached and the secret service is in vulnerable so it is a corrupt culture.
