But when that prisoner is counted, Mr. Groves, it is added to that community.

My hometown has 14,000 people and there are 900 in the prison. Of those 900, 800 of them are from Chicago.

I just think what Dr. Groves just said, that we should get that on tape and make a commercial out of it. That was a hell of a commercial that you just made for the people to fill out the census.

I appreciate that, because that did generate a few more questions.

What about the various activities after the census is over and there has to be an undercount, or an assessment of the undercount.

General Renuart, how effective is your joint intelligence fusion cell in providing actionable intelligence/information to various law enforcement agencies?

Keep in mind that at one time blacks could not serve with any dignity in our military.

I think it's more of that. If we can pay under the Office of Personnel Management all civilian employees under one payment system, why can't the military also exercise one payment system?

It appears that the majority of the ARNG's portion of the budget request is in the OCO and supplemental.

I applaud the level of integration of the Navy and the Marine Corps Reserves into the total force structure.

I want to commend you on your position with 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'

To fully realize a synchronized whole-of-government effort against our enemies requires continued emphasis on understanding and cooperation from all elements of our national power structure.
