Secretary Roche, if there is a plan to re-station airmen to the continental United States, will they be based at current Air Force bases or is it possible they may be shifted to the Air Force Reserve/Air National Guard?

I appreciate the specificity that you have presented here and we will certainly follow up on that.

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

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Can you explain in more detail, what are the problems, the obstacles, the resistance on the part of our NATO allies?

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.

Mr. Secretary, I am also impressed by the recently announced task force that you have compiled to work with the IAEA to locate, identify, and assess the risk of RDDs.

I am also concerned about the continuing coordination between the DOD and the DHS.

I cannot imagine any more important work than our efforts to understand how to detect weapons-grade materials, and to me this reduction seems short-sighted.

the fiscal year 2004 budget for the DOE's Office of Electric Transmission and Distribution (OETD) has apparently been reduced by nearly 35 percent.

Is Turkey one of those five countries?

It might very well be something we consider in the authorizing process, because I really applaud you for what you have done on RDDs.

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

And also the State, too.

I appreciate that very much, Mr. Secretary.

I am very focused on our continuing vulnerability and the fact that we remain such a high target.

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

Now, can you tell me whether there have been any changes to code orange or code red with respect to DOD and NORTHCOM?

I personally think that it's not going to lead to General Miller.

We are a Nation that abides by the rule of law, and we are a Nation that understands not only the necessity of adherence to our Constitution, but that due process is one of the great inventions of Western civilization.

It is not just in the nature of ensuring that our conduct is held to a higher standard, but that we safeguard the rule of law.

We deplore the barbaric conduct of those who murdered Mr. Berg. We deplore the extraordinary cruelty that they have evidenced with respect to our civilians and military personnel.

The United States Congress is a full and equal party in our government.

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