this is what we actually spent for defense. the line here, including the blue, red, yellow, was projected defense spending over the next 10 years, $464 is the yellow. that is what has already been cut. there is the tranche of cuts that says we will take one carrier task force out of commission. it looks like we will take the george washington nuclear aircraft carrier, when it comes into charge the batteries, to rebuild -- >> the nuclear refueling. >> they will just take it out of commission and lose the last half of its lifetime. that may be one of the things. we have not seen the final yet. it is just a story. >> can i follow up on the overall issue of defense spending? clearly, you think -- you are arguing in favor of maintaining a high level of defense spending. that does not include war spending. it is just the base budget, which has nearly doubled since before 9/11. that is the baseline we're starting from. you said we should not have waste in the defense department and there are things we can cut. >> we should not have wa

i understood, at of the defense budget the size that it is, we should be able to find -- out of a defense budget of the size that it is, we should be able to find cuts. i think this is cutting more than that. -- fat. it is cutting into muscle. i have said i think we can live with that. secretary panetta says he thinks he can live with that. the chiefs have said they think they can live with that, but any further cuts would start into the bone, and that is excessive. the deal that we made when we voted for that debt-reduction bill is that we would cut no more out of defense, that the super-committee would find entitlement programs, other mandatory spending that would come up with the $1.20 trillion to $1.50 trillion. that is what i am expecting them to do. that is what i am encouraging them to do, to keep on track the plan that was already made. i have let people know that we should cut no further on defense. instead of everything on the table, defense has been half of the table so far. that is more than should be cut, especially when you're fighting a war. usually we wait until the war is

52% growth in defense spending. 95% on non-defense. admittedly, the defense spending is not high because the increases we have seen have been more recent from 2001, reflecting an increase of the cuts in the 1990's on defense, so if you used just the last decade, the defense would be higher. but let's look to 2011. on the education side, discretionary spending up over 100%. international spending up 102%. community and regional development spending up. help research and regulation spending up 56% from, and so on, so i think we need to keep both of these things in mind. one, if we do not work on these issues to get the economy going, that is tough. understanding that spending levels have been put under more constraints, if you agree with those numbers. >> senator, i would not argue with your numbers. >> again, thank you for all of your help to achieve the goal we have all talked about today, and we look forward to working with you. >> thank you, senator. >> senator kerrey. >> thank you for being here and for the working martine is doing.

from non-defense. but as far laws exist for only two years. projections go out for 10 years. are you saying the savings you show for defense are guaranteed or that is what we assume are the projections and that half of the savings will come from defense and half will come from nondefense? >> security fund his defense funding and other pieces of funding as well. you are correct, beyond the first two years, there is no cat and overall funding we looked at three alternatives, one in which the reduction from the inflated former base line with inflated amounts, one which was taken up entirely through defense-cut spending, non- defense spending and one was met through a combination. i presented the middle of those here for simplicity. we looked at the raid because it will be of two future congresses to decide. >> it really depends on what congress does where we will see the savings occur? >> absolutely. >> total of all discretionary spending whether it is for the pentagon or education, environmental protecti

the department of defense plus spending for the departments of energies, atomic energy and defense of related activities of ore agencies -- ore agencies -- other agencies. the budget control act sets caps on discretionary spending for 2012 and 2013 using different categories; security and nonsecurity. security includes most but not all of defense and also includes peeptions for the department of homeland security, the department of vet rapps affairs and the international affairs budget category. however, in 2014 and beyond the budget control act specifies a single cap on discretionary funding. there is an entirely different set of caps in the law that would come into play if legislation from this committee does not generate sufficient deficit reduction. in that case the further cuts in spending that would be required are based on the traditional defense and nondefense categories. although to make the situation truly confusing, the act labels those security and nonsecurity as well. we thought it would be most useful for this testimony to focus on the familiar defense and nondefense cat

to "this week in defense news." i'm vago muradian. britain is soon to unveil a new defense industrial policy. we talk to uk acquisition chief peter luff later in the show. but, first, the pentagon spends nearly $7 billion a year and has long been criticized as being inefficient and wasteful. last year the defense secretaryy was also ordered to serve as the pentagon's chief management officer. it also created the post of deputy chief management officer, a job filled by beth mcgrath who has 20 years of defense management experience. ms. mcgrath, thanks very much for joining us. >> thanks very much for having me. >> let's start out, you've been on the job for about a year, what have you accomplished and what do you hope to finish in the remainder of your term? >> i think that to your point about the congress establishing the role of chief management officer last year was very significant and really a highlight of some of the activities and statutory requirements they've levied on the defense department, really, since 2

so 52% growth in defense spending from 1990 until today, 95% of the non-defense the defense spending is not at the time because the increase as we have seen have been more recent from 2001 which reflected the increase from the cuts in the 1990's on the defense. so if you use the last decade it would be higher. let's look again at 2001 to 2008 the level -- 2011 up from 16% in the last ten years. international spending up 102%, federal spending up 100% and spending that 71%. health research and regulations to dig up 56% and so on. we need to keep both of these in malida. if we don't deal with of the spending issues it is the cunego and we have seen substantial increases in the discretionary spending understanding that the bca proposal under more constraints do you agree with those numbers? >> i would not argue with your numbers. thanks for helping us achieve the goal we talked about today and we look for work to working with you. >> thank you, senator. senator kerry? >> dr. elmendorf, things you very much for being. for the terrific work your doing. we appreciate it. it's my understand

i am very proud to have the support of many defense attorneys. when you are ada without experience, you do not have the discretion and the compassion that you gain with the number of years. somebody joke that roles reversed -- defense attorneys get more prosecutors -- get more hard core and prosecutors grow at heart. that is why having a defense attorney in that job is not the right approach. >> you do not believe you have hard or you do not. you do not develop it later on. i agree that they do have different roles, and they must and should be professional to one another. when i was a young d.a., some of my best friends were republican senators back then, and today, i have friends on the bar in the district asserted office here there's no way i can prove this, but i feel comfortable making this statement -- if there were a study done -- independent study done of people right now in the san francisco district attorney's office who are a deputy district attorneys, of all candidates up here, i believe i would receive the majority of votes. it is nev

first, the defense brought up the original suspect, abbass esfehani. you'll recall he was the victim's former boyfriend, described as hot-tempered, who made a hasty return to iran in the days after the murder. esfehani's fingerprints were found on the banister leading up to the murder scene. >> i'm telling you straight out, the guy was cold about it. >> and the exchange student's former roommate remembered a strange reaction when esfehani discussed cheryl miller's death. >> i remember saying to him, you're acting as if nothing even happened. >> okay. >> it was really -- it was shocking to me that he could care less. >> what do you think really happened to cheryl miller? >> well, i think the most plausible theory, in my opinion, is that abbass esfehani was the one that committed the crime. they were lovers. they had just broken up a week before. she had called her parents -- this is in police records -- a very bad blowout. >> what do you think happened? >> well, miss miller was not only beautiful, but she was very bold. and mr. esfehani was from a count

department of defense. why do you think in their mind -- just kicking the can down the road because we have fiscal financial restraints? >> i'm just puzzled by why that has persisted as long as it has. all i can say. seems to be a myth at best. perhaps it's just -- we look at the really normal parts of our industry. we think competition and innovation are very important and we just sort of assume that it's pretty much a thing of the defense industry on the one hand. on the other hand, if you look at down-select from an rfp to move into development of a program, most of the competition ends at that point, and notwithstanding essentially the direction in law from that 2009 reform act which suggested the secretary of the defense should try to maintain competition throughout the life of the program. it just hasn't been happening, and the best example is the second engine for the joint strike fighter. if you go back and review the reason secretary gates gave for not going ahead with that, it was basically the tr

third generation of patriot missile defense systems have been deployed by the u.s. into poland and now they're being put on maybe aegis destroyer ships into the black sea in mediterranean so cutting to the chase despite the old that we've heard so far as you say do you think russia has real reason to be worried about what's happening here i think russia and china do because the u.s. is now using these so-called missile defense systems to surround both countries but it's important to remember that general dynamics in the case of the aegis destroyers with missile defense systems is owned scuse me is only largely by a family called the crown family from chicago who are worth four billion dollars they are the largest stockholders of general dynamics and they gave barack obama five hundred thousand dollars in campaign donations when he ran for president in two thousand and eight they were part of the major contributors a major organizers for the obama campaign in that race for the presidency so he owes them and his efforts now to put these missile defense systems to surr

defense news. i wonder if you could comment on the lack of impact it would be if congress is unable to pass an authorization bill for 2012? audit any areas that are particularly complicated by that? >> yes, that is a complication for us. they are our authorities, in fact, i'm looking at right now, that expired at the end of this fiscal year. authorization, not appropriations, that expired at the end of this fiscal year. they are extremely valuable to us, and what we are doing overseas, and unless the congress acts to pass a new authorization bill, or expressly deals with something in a new appropriations bill, or c.r., we have real problems here and so, you know, it is the case that every time congress, instead of passing a full year's appropriations bill, passes a c.r., there are some authorities that get left behind and we have to scramble to figure out how to cope with. so, all of us hope that what we've seen over the last year or two does not become the norm. >> well, folks, i think we've had a

do you think the defense is going to call up? do you think they are going to call a lot of witnesses? >> i think they are going to have to. i don't think the cross-examination, while it's professionally done, to tilt the balance in their favor. they have to call experts to talk about the amount of propofol in their system and what would be deadly. if they can find experts to say what conrad murray did, met the standard of care, i would be very surprised, but you'll never know. very often you can find an expert if you pay them enough. >> but there is no way that they will put murray on the stand, though? >> i think there is a way. >> really? >> if they think they have nothing to lose, they may put him up there. if they thi if they think that they have established reasonable doubt, they won't put him up there because the cross-examination would be brutal, given the fact that the didn't call 911 right away, and tell the hospital things and the police things. >> when you hear michael jackson on that phone call, obviously in an altere

how about the depth on the defensive side? >> al: how about another dropped pass by roddy white in effect? >> cris: well, it was charlie peprah, a backup safety, who made the interception earlier. now it's jarrett bush, a backup cornerback who comes in and makes the play. i thought it was, to some degree, the corners and their playoff of tramon williams and sam shields and charles woodson a year ago that turned this team around defensively and maybe it will be starting after tonight. >> al: well, the falcons will go to 2-3 so they have already lost as many games as they did all of last season when they were 13-3, with a number one seed in the nfc. they start 5-0. they go home to face the winless rams. meanwhile, atlanta stays here to take on carolina and the amazing cam newton, who almost pulled one out today against the saints, but new orleans won. and the saints put some more room between themselves and last year's nfc south champions. great job, great adjusting by the packers tonight and they score the last 25 points of the

if we will be able to have a strong defense, if we will be able to maintain a strong defense, if we will be able to respond to the crises of the future, i have to have the industrial base that can respond to that. if we have to mobilize quickly, what and as quickly, i have to have an industrial base in place. if we cripple that, we will cripple our national defense. i am asking that we develop a strategy. we can go through some of these decisions and make very sure that we are affecting the base they talked about. so those skills and capabilities will always be there when we need them. it will require some decision making. we will have to be able to get the cooperation of the private sector. i met with them and i am fully confident that we can get that. on the reserve and guard, i will let the general speak to that. we have gone through a remarkable time were the reserve and the guy has really performed in an outstanding fashion with regards to the wars we have been in. we have been able to rotate them in. they have gotten battle experience. they're better. they're more capable. they're
