You will keep this committee informed as it goes forward?

It is not in the 2005 budget?

Is Turkey one of those five countries?

We just have to get a better grip on what we need to do with technology.

Will you direct the Corps to provide this committee with information on how it decided to award that contract to Halliburton?

I continue to be concerned about the medical and dental readiness of our Guard and Reserve.

The report also says that no plans exist to assess the effects of severe weather on the system's performance.

I think that we should inquire further on the basis of that.

I appreciate that caution. It is my understanding that is a different document.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The other point raised in the unclassified GAO report refers to the reliance on tracking data from an old surveillance radar called Cobra Dane.

Do you need legislative authority or any additional appropriated authority to do this?

Secretary Roche, most of the focus for the Global Defense Posture Review, in conjunction with Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) 2005, has been devoted to how many Army divisions or brigades may be redeployed to the United States.

The GAO report I am referring to is going to be publicly released today.

The report warns that the test plans through 2007 do not include sufficiently challenging targets and decoys.

I would appreciate having some written response to this, because I am frankly concerned about moving high-level technology research into the DHS.

But obviously the coordination with all of you is equally critical.

And also the State, too.
