Hold two hearings that focus on the two major pillars of our agenda. Tomorrow well hear from the Service Chiefs on repairing and rebuilding our military. Today, however, well concentrate on the other pillar, which is defense reform. Weve done a lot of reform over the past two years. That includes acquisition reform, a new military retirement system, major changes in military health care, commissary reform, a rewrite of the uniform code of military justice as well as significant organizational reform. While a lot has been done, however, a lot more needs to be done. The world around us is simply moving too fast for us to sit still and assume that the organizations and processes of the past will suffice for today and especially for tomorrow. Yes, we all have an obligation to see taxpayer dollars are spent as efficiently and effectively as possible, especially in fulfilling the first job of the federal government which is to defend the country. But we all know from the news and from our In

Is fire. And fred inglis is here, and fred this is not a surprise. No, dennis allen was not going to turn this team around. The silver and black have gone now through seven head coaches since john grudden left in 2009. And in this weekends game in england, dennis did nothing to show the team was making progress. And the players said dennis allen never resembled passion and the teams passive play reflected his penalty. The team will hold a press Conference Tomorrow at which time they will likely name sporano as interim coach until the end of the season. I can tell you everyone felt this firing was only a matter of time considering that during allens tenure the team is eight wins and 28 losses including 10 in a row was almost past due. When you say that was not a surprise it would be an extreme change. And the beat goes on. Its year after year. Game after game. And theres got to be some direction and upward mobility in it. Lets hope so. Well talk to you in a little bit, mark. Thank you.
