Ms. McGrath, how can the CMO convince the Military Services and other agencies through change management to adopt ERPs and turn off legacy systems while they continue to use their legacy system?

Ms. McGrath, shouldn't OSD lead the way with ERP implementation?

Ms. McGrath, when will OSD adopt the DAI to manage its business processes?

Ms. McGrath, please provide the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) that the Army used in determining to not implement the Marine Corps' ERP solution.

But, how are the Marine Corps and Army so different that they need separate, wholly incompatible billion-dollar ERP systems?

Ms. McGrath, what plan, if any, is there to subject those processes to BPR?

Will the Army and Marine Corps continue to maintain very different business processes for logistics, maintenance, and supply functions? If so, why?

Did they not go through BPR under the direction of your office before the adoption and installation of their billion dollar ERPs?

I don't want to get all these ERP systems deployed at great cost and in considerable time find out we're not using them in the right way.

A minimum of $1 billion must be at risk in areas such as: the value of major assets; revenue sources (e.g., taxes due) not being realized; improper payments; and contingencies or potential liabilities (e.g., environmental cleanup).

Mr. Khan, what metrics does GAO use to make this determination for high risk, both generally and with respect to DOD's financial management?

Business-as-usual would not be acceptable when it came to the audit readiness effort.

Sound financial systems and good data are critical to our efforts to provide efficient management, save money, and ensure accountability at DOD.

I am deeply concerned that the shortcomings documented by the IG in the Army's GFEBS program are symptomatic of problems with the other ERP systems.

John McCain today smacking them down, fellow Republicans. He's providing a reality check.

That is not fair to the American people to hold out and say, we won't agree to raising the debt limit until we pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution. It's unfair. It's bizarro.

The American people didn't want their taxes raised, and they wanted us to cut spending. They don't want compromise.

If Qadhafi stays, it is then a direct threat to our national security.

Given the uncertainty we face regarding how long it may take to achieve our military objectives, do we run the risk of running out of time?

Senator McCain and I are proposing consolidating that oversight under the FTC

We support the bill and look forward to working with Congress as it moves forward.

The concept is known as privacy by design, and it's one of the fundamental elements in the legislation that Senators Kerry and McCain have put forward that HP supports.

The Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights of 2011 introduced by Senators Kerry and McCain seeks to implement some reasonable standards.

The Commercial Privacy Bill of Rights introduced by Senators Kerry and McCain puts in place some standards that would give consumers more control over their personal information.

The Department's classification of 'created' tribes is fundamentally flawed and undermines the sovereignty of these tribes.
