Four years later the squadron was operational and we built nearly 3,000 of them. Compare that to the f22. In 1981 the air force established a requirement for 750 advanced tactical fighters. It wasnt until 2005, 24 years later, that the f22 was first introduced and instead of 750 of them, we bought 195. If boeing can field a new commercial airliner in five years, and ford can take a car from design to production in 24 months, then theres absolutely no reason the pentagon should take two decades to put a new fighter into service. Things have to change. We have the unfortunate tendency to fix organizational problems with more organization. Ive seen estimates that show 1 3 of the acquisition budget goes to overhead costs. This system is so gummed up it is a wonder things come out the other end. To have a military that is strong and agile means that we cannot tolerate the delays and cost overruns that have plagued our procurement system. Every delay means that technology doesnt get to the t

And say this, i have now seen the movie selma twice and i plan to see it again in this building next tuesday evening. The second time i watched it was last week and i watched it sitting with my justturned18yearold granddaughter. I didnt say anything to her about the movie i just told her that i was sponsoring the movie for members of my staff and others in the community. We rented out a theater of 120 seats, within two hours we
Harrisburg said you better approve allot. They said five. 39 charters approved. The Philadelphia School partnership said well give you 35 million, 25 toward charters, 10 million to the Public Schools now its taking its marbles and going home. Did the src having not done anymore charters since 2007 did they make the right call with that . They were in a impossible position. They did the best they could do, they dealt with the reality that additional charters impose additional cost on the School Districts which cant afford it. But on the on the other hand theres a strong constituency auto there the republican legislature, frankly a lot of parents who want more choices and they dont care what it cost the school district. He was very clear youve come to me asking for 200 million. You must be kidding. The republican ledge light tur its going legislature its going to be a fight about increasing the education appropriation, we got a Fair Funding Commission thats looking into formula to give m
Else. He was asked about the pursuit of a twostate solution. That pursuit has been the foundation of policy in the region, not just in this administration but the Previous Administration as well. I would point out that this policy is one thats strongly supported by democrats and republicans on capitol hill system of when Prime Minister netanyahu indicated a weakness in his commitment, and i think thats putting it charitably indicated his weakness to the twostate solution he was indicating a difference of opinion not just with president obama but with the policy purr pseudoby president bush and the policy thats strongly supported by democrats and republicans in the United States congress. Mark its clear that wasnt an aberration yesterday. Whats the strategy to change netanyahus behavior and could it work . Campbell i dont think they want to change his behavior. Their priority is getting a deal with iran. Hes probably the most persuasive voice they have who is an opponent to that deal. T
Case or this one. The mere appreciation are not corruption. Word for word out of the Supreme Court decision and Citizens United. The District Court refused to give a standard goodwill instruction. A gift or payment given with the general ayatollah for some unspecified nature benefit is not a prize. Here one of our principal arguments was the governor believed Johnny Williams is giving goodwill gets in the expectation he would get the access and credibility that come with it good faith was your defense. That is what you said. Our defense is good faith. We did, your honor. If the governor acted in good faith, he didnt have criminal intent and there could be no crime. There would be no crime. Because the jury doesnt understand the true scope of official acts and the jury doesnt understand the difference between a permissible goodwill gift in a prohibited bribe. If he acted in good faith it doesnt make any difference. It doesnt make any difference. If he acted in good faith then it couldnt
