Secretary hagel, you have my first two minutes, and general dempsey, you get the next two. So for secretary hagel, theres been no discussion yet of the oco request for 15, which is 5. 6 billion. Wondering not whats in it. We have some information on t t that. But what do you know about a current 2014 oco request through the end of the c sflshgs whats in that and why do you need additional 5. 6 billion in 15 give than theres authority for you at least through the cr for 2014 money .
