so, we have a small oss file that discusses hemingway as a potential oss operative. and the answer is, no, we don't want him as an official oss operative, and the reason is he would be too hard to control. [laughter] >> surprise. and so when i talk about his relationship with david bruce outside paris. that's unofficial. they run into each other on the battlefield and they're both headed to the same place and say, let's work together. for a week, two weeks, it was a -- they did a fabulous job of running tactical intelligence operations. oh, boy. yes, ma'am, right in the middle. [inaudible question] >> okay. so what was the oss file that i found about? it's complicated. so, his -- guess back to his third wife, martha. martha is saying, ernest, the war is in europe, not in cuba. we're journalist, we cover war we're writers, we need to get over there. and e. nest says, no, i'm returning anti-submarine operations here, and they have these really -- i mean, they have -- there's a lot of conflict between the two. and so she guess over by herself, and she runs into an oss g

democrats, bute really, the democrats of.solidated around john oss comfortable and confident that we are working as a team with the rnc, who is doing a great job on the ground game. i feel comfortable that a lot of our natural allies have come in to help on this. the congressional leadership fund, the chamber of commerce is in, other folks have been in helping in this race, and while it is uncoordinated -- it is a bad word in politics -- it is an effort where everyone that needs to has joined the fight. i feel like we did what it takes to win in kansas. we did what it took to win in montana. we did what it took to make sure judge -- georgia went to a runoff. georgiaard to keep coming to a runoff because democrats had already consolidated around one candidate, and republicans had 13 candidates. john ossof spent over $10 million in april with others joining in to help him. that is amazing spending in a congressional race. together, boths sides it will be a $50 million race. it is a record number for a congressional race, and while special elections are special, you can't build too much

does the fact that karen handel is oss opponent and she was the secretary of state who kind of you know ran the cross-check thing and threw all these folks off the voting rolls is doesn't have virtually guaranteed skullduggery on tuesday. well you have a very ugly situation in which the woman who's running against us off was in charge of counting the votes and cleansing the vote registries of people she considered suspicious which according to our records were substantially mostly voters of color and her and the current secretary of state brian kemp is your good buddy who's running for governor on the republican line you know america is one the only nations in the planet where the people who are running for office count their own votes and again asa offices you know swim upstream against this type of obvious and ugly conflict of interest as you saw just so you know by the way karen handel handel she did not give me any problems when i asked her if the democrats were stealing the election she was thrilled to have the question from me she was buddy buddy with me the minute i asked a tough

i've heard it for three years --oss the fourth district conversation will typically go something like this -- in spite of all of the stupid things going on in washington, we are still creating jobs. we cannot find people to work. this is where welfare reform is critical. i don't think you achieve 3% of sustained growth if you don't have labor force to get you to the productivity number. that is why we as a group are saying this seems to be the solution to get us to the edge in the agreement that we need to get to and get to the growth rate that we need in this country. i will just add that i agree with everything jim just said but i don't want to get anyone's expectations up. i think this room is educated on the basic numbers. $20 trillion in debt and $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities. cbo, this is the front page -- all federal revenues will go only to those mandatory and entitlement programs. all federal revenues. that means there's nothing left for military, transportation, etc.. deficit deficit is $1.2 trillion. the average deficit, what is that? the entire discretionary budget

i don't want to get into the specific oss of that. one thing the appropriations in '17 and '18, we've underfunded our parts and spares not just for the ground but for aviation. and we're working on that. the readiness is where we've expected. i met with the squadron ceo and there were some things that we didn't know about getting parts and spares in through a foreign country and some custom things. they had better readiness in alaska than we did because of their ability to get parts. they're doing better maintenance wise and operation. we're doing everything that we expected. >> maintenance is the other area i wanted to get something on the record. we get the reports that 62%, 63% of the f18s are broken, not working properly. 47% of all of the naval aircraft is having problems. critical readiness, as chair of the readiness subcommittee as i have been for years, i understand the clear role that depo is playing. i've been encouraged by the air force depo operations at tinker, have seen first hand how they're extending the service life t
