VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE SPEAKS AT NATIONAL SPACE COUNCIL 0950 - 1115

0915 VP PENCE SPACE COUNCIL REMARKS FS1 79VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MIKE PENCE CHAIRS AT MEETING OF THE NATIONAL SPACE COUNCIL F. UDVAR-HAZY CENTER NATIONAL AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM IN CHANTILLY, VIRGINIA.09:59:48VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE: Well, thank you, Dr. Stofan. Thank you for that kind introduction. And thank you for your tremendous stewardship and your tremendous leadership. Would you join me in thanking Dr. Ellen Stofan for her outstanding leadership? (Applause.)To all of the members of the National Space Council, to our User Advisory Group - all of whom very quietly came onstage - I think they all deserve a big round of applause. These are extraordinary Americans that are making a difference for American leadership in space. (Applause.) Would you join me in thanking them?And to our gracious host, the Smithsonian Institution, and all of the men and women here at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, it's a great honor to be with all of you today. Thank you for your patience today. Thank you for your attendance today. And welcome to the sixth meeting of the National Space Council.You know, it was three years ago that a candidate for President came alongside his new running mate, and he said to me, "You know, this thing called the National Space Council has lain dormant for more than 25 years. And I was wondering if you'd like to follow the tradition of past Vice Presidents and chair a renewed National Space Council?" And I looked at him, and I said, "Would I?" (Laughter.)So join me in thanking a leader who is committed to securing American leadership on Earth and in the vast expanse of space. Join me in thanking the 45th President of the United States of America, President Donald Trump. (Applause.) His leadership has made a difference, and you'll hear about that today. (Applause.)You know, it was nearly two years ago - right here, at the National Air and Space Museum - that we held the first meeting of the National Space Council.So we can think of no better place to hold our sixth meeting, where we're going to reflect on the progress that we've made and how our administration and the United States is on track in our efforts to expand and renew American leadership in space.And, really, I can think of no better time - no better time to be here and to celebrate the progress of our renewed leadership. Because it was one month ago, the world paid tribute to three extraordinary American astronauts - the crew of Apollo 11 - and the 400,000 men and women who stood behind them 50 years ago. It was "one small step" and "one giant leap." (Applause.)And what a great celebration it was. So many of you were a part of it, not only here in our nation's capital, but all across the country. And I have to tell you, it was deeply humbling for me to be able to spend time with many of the men and women and heroes that made that moment possible. And they secured, in a very real sense, American leadership in space.But as we gather here today, we do so recognizing that it's been 47 years since the last American set foot on the moon. In fact, our great shuttle program, including the space shuttle Discovery behind me, was grounded nearly a decade ago.And the truth is, as all of you know, for too long America was content with low-Earth orbit, and missions focused on the Earth instead of aiming for the stars.But I'm proud to report that under President Trump's leadership, all of that is changing. As the President said in his Inaugural Address, "We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space." And that's exactly what we're doing. (Applause.) It's true.After two and a half years under the President's leadership, America is leading in space once again. This President recognizes what the American people have known for more than a half a century, and that is that our security, our prosperity, and our very way of life, depend on American leadership and American leadership in space.Now, we acknowledge that low-Earth orbit is not our final destination, but rather it is a training ground for the infinite frontier of space. And I can assure you the American people are ready for the next chapter in our nation's history in space.So at the President's direction, we've - we've put an end to decades of budget cuts and decline. And we've renewed America's commitment to human space exploration, vowing to go further into space, farther and faster than ever before.That's why, in our first year in office, President Trump signed Space Policy Directive-1, making it the national policy of the United States of America to return to the moon and prioritize crewed missions to the lunar surface.SPD-1 marked a watershed moment in America's space enterprise. And with it, the President finally gave NASA the clear direction and clear mission that it needed.As he said, we will "return American astronauts to the moon for the first time since 1972 for long-term exploration and use," not only to "plant our flag and leave our footprint," but we will go there to "establish a foundation for an eventual mission to Mars." (Applause.)Earlier this year, President Trump made it the policy of this administration to return to the moon by 2024 and ensure that the next man and the first woman on the moon will be American astronauts. (Applause.)The Artemis mission has already begun, and we're well on our way to making NASA's Moon to Mars mission a reality. You'll hear more about that today.To give NASA the resources they need to accomplish this mission, the President signed into law the agency's largest budget ever. And, as we speak, we're working with Congress to add an additional $1.6 billion to support our renewed commitment to human space exploration.The Space Launch System, known as SLS - the world's most powerful rocket that will launch American astronauts toward the moon - will be fully assembled by the end of this year.Last month, we marked the "capsule complete" on the Orion capsule. It's the spacecraft that we all know will sit on top of the SLS, and it will carry the first crewed ship designed to deep space exploration in a half a century.And just last week, we announced that the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, will lead development of our new lunar lander. And, working with Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, we will ensure that a new generation of astronauts have the state-of-the-art vessel to reach the lunar surface safely and return by 2024. (Applause.) We're going to get it done.In fact, Administrator Bridenstine told me that with congressional support that we've got, we can actually start "bending metal" on the lander in the next year. Whatever that means. (Laughter and applause.)I'm proud to report, also, we've empowered our commercial partners. In recent months, SpaceX successfully docked its automated Crew Dragon capsule at the International Space Station, Blue Origin tested engines for its own lunar lander, and Boeing is working hard to launch its first crewed vehicle by the end of this year.And working with industry leaders, before the year is out, the United States will once again send American astronauts into space on American rockets from American soil! (Applause.)So we're making great progress, but we have new ambitions in this still-new century. America is not only going to return to the moon, but we're going to return there with new objectives. Because unlike a half-century ago, this time our objective will be to establish a permanent presence on the lunar surface. And from there, we will develop the capabilities to journey to the red planet of Mars.In order for us to take the next big leap toward the Martian surface, you all here know that we have to demonstrate that we can live on the moon for months and even years. We have to learn how to make use of all available resources to sustain human life and all our activities in space, including by mining the vast quantities of life-sustaining water that's frozen in ice on our lunar poles.And once we return to the moon, we're going to develop the technologies to live and thrive in a multi-month expedition at its south pole.Using what we learn on the moon will bring us closer to the day, as the President said, that "American astronauts will plant the Stars and Stripes on the surface of Mars." (Applause.)In fact, within the last year, American technology touched down once again on Martian soil. As all of the world witnessed, the InSight mission touched down and marked our eighth successful landing on Mars. And even now, the men and women of NASA are hard at work identifying those areas of the red planet that would be most suitable for human exploration. We're not only planning to go, we're preparing to go.And much like the Apollo missions - when our space program relied on tools and methods that didn't exist when the mission was established - achieving our ambitious goals will depend on innovative technologies, including those that our panelists are going to talk about today.But unlike during Apollo, this time our efforts will not rely entirely on government action. Instead, we will go forward into that bright future with the strong support of our private partners and international allies.Already, NASA is working with industry leaders to develop plans for the Lunar Gateway: a critical outpost and refueling station that will help us develop the technologies, test the systems, and train the astronauts for the first-ever crewed journey to Mars.Our Moon to Mars mission is on track and America is leading in human space exploration again. Don't you doubt it. (Applause.)As we'll also talk about today, under the President's leadership, we've also unleashed America's commercial space industry as never before. As the President said memorably not long ago, "Rich guys love rockets." (Laughter.) And we've taken steps to make it possible for American entrepreneurs to invest and to help America develop the technologies that will carry American leadership into space.As Secretary Ross will no doubt reflect again today, we're streamlining the licensing regimes that oversee launch, re-entry, and new operations in space. We're removing unnecessary regulations that have increased costs and stifled innovation. All of that's happened over the last two and a half years.We've encouraged a more stable and orderly space environment by developing the world's first comprehensive Space Traffic Management Policy.And as we've restored confidence in the opportunities of space, we've helped drive incredible economic growth. Just two years ago, the satellite industry alone generated some $350 billion in revenue, and studies predict that number will increase to more than a trillion dollars annually in the next two decades.And more than ever, space is recognized as the industry of the future. In the first half of this year, we've seen almost as much invested in space companies as we did in the entire year before. In fact, in the last decade, more than $22 billion has been invested in nearly 500 different space companies. And I'm proud to say that the majority of those investments have been made in American space businesses. America is leading in public and private investment in space. (Applause.)But as we all know, as we lead in human space exploration, as we lead in American innovation and entrepreneurship in space, we also must lead in security. And for the sake of our security, both here on Earth and in the heavens above, at President Trump's direction we are working with Congress as we speak to stand up a new branch of our armed forces. And soon, Congress will approve and the President will sign the sixth branch of the Armed Forces of the United States: The United States Space Force. (Applause.)As the President has said, we all recognize - and it's been, frankly, true for decades - in his words, space is "a warfighting domain." And the United States Space Force will ensure that our nation is prepared to defend our people, to defend our interests, and to defend our values in the vast expanse of space and here on the Earth with the technologies that will support our common defense from the vast reaches of outer space.Next week, we will formally stand up the new unified combatant command that will be known as the United States Space Command. And I'm pleased to announce that we will recognize its new leader. Four-star Air Force General John Raymond will be the first leader of the United States Space Command. Thank you, General. (Applause.)And before I move on from General Raymond, let me mention another general who's here with us today: General Joe Dunford, who is Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He has served this nation throughout his long career in uniform with extraordinary distinction. He has played a critical role in ensuring the national defense of the United States. And he will be concluding his duties as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the months ahead.And would you all mind getting on your feet and just showing how much we appreciate the extraordinary life and career and leadership of General Joe Dunford? (Applause.)Thank you, General. Thank you for your service. And thank you for your leadership, particularly on the matters pertaining American leadership in space. It is a historic contribution. And I know the President feels, as I do, that we would not be at this historic moment without your leadership and your support.Later this morning, we're going to hear more about our administration's progress toward a new unified defense agreement to defend America's national security space assets and also ensure our collective defense.But for all that we've accomplished, the greatest triumphs of American leadership in space still lie ahead. And you'll hear about those plans today. The National Space Council today will send new policy recommendations to the President that will help drive even greater cooperation between our government, our commercial partners, and like-minded nations across the world - nations that share our values of democracy, freedom, and the rule of law.We will build on the success of the International Space Station by working with our friends and allies to support a moon landing in 2024; to develop sustainable, long-term lunar surface operations; and to build a spacecraft that will carry us to Mars.We'll also continue to unleash the creative powers of America's commercial space enterprise. This council will recommend today steps that will encourage innovation and ensure that American companies have the level playing field they need to compete and win in space.And we'll continue to transform NASA into a leaner, more accountable, and more agile organization. Isn't that right, Jim?ADMINISTRATOR BRIDENSTINE: Yes, sir.THE VICE PRESIDENT: (Laughs.) Good.We're going to make it easier than ever to recruit and retain the world's brightest scientists, engineers, and managers. And we're going to hit our goals and we're going to make new American history in space.You know, President Trump tasked the National Space Council with reigniting and reinvigorating the American space program. And I'm humbled and proud, at the same time, to say that's exactly what this team has done. And that's what we're going to continue to do with the support of so many of you gathered here today.As President Trump said, in his words, "It is America's destiny to be.the leader amongst nations on our adventure into the great unknown." And that's why the National Space Council was reconstituted, and that's what brought us here today.And while the tasks before us involve hardship and hazard, sacrifice and perseverance, we know what the men and women of Apollo 11 knew 50 years ago, and that is simply this: That Americans can accomplish anything we set our minds to. And America will lead the world back into the vast expanse of space. (Applause.)So thank you all for being here today. We're grateful to the members of the National Space Council, our advisory group, all the experts and industry leaders who are joining us here today. And I look very much forward to our dialogue and our discussion. And the support that I see in this room, the support that I hear from not only people involved in the great space enterprise across this country, but from everyday Americans from every walk of life, convinces me that we have only just begun to renew American leadership in space.So, thank you all. Thank you all for your support. Thank you for your presence here today. And let's get to work. (Applause.)(Roundtable discussion commences.)* * * * *(Roundtable discussion concludes.)How about a round of applause for this whole panel? (Applause.) This is a remarkable group of Americans.With that, time is of - is a little scarce, and so I trust that members of the National Space Council have reviewed the recommendations that have been presented to meet the President's objective on human space exploration and also encouraging and promoting private sector innovation.As those looking on in the public will note, these include specific timelines for reforms of workforce acquisition rules, management, and industrial base issues. They also create opportunities for international and commercial partnerships.And I recommend to the public's attention the public record that you will find that we are setting specific timelines for the Administrator in the next 60 days to designation of an office and submission of a plan for a sustainable lunar surface exploration and the development of crewed missions to Mars.In the next council meeting, a plan to report on the technologies and capabilities necessary to implement sustainable lunar surface exploration. And there are other very specific goals for NASA, and we'll thank the Administrator in advance for continuing to move out on those directives.We'll also be recommending that NASA facilitate the development of commercial and public-private successors to the International Space Station and set a timeline for the Department of Commerce on the Authorization of Commercial Space Operations not currently regulated by any other federal agency. And complementary to our commercialization of the International Space Station, the staff will present the councilmembers a Moon to Mars development strategy.One of my takeaways today is Dr. Clive Neal used the term "prospector" to describe activities on the lunar surface and on Mars, and it brings to mind the old West, and it's just exactly how we ought to be thinking about ensuring that we're developing the resources of space and giving taxpayers a return on investment, as you said so well.But we'll be calling for a Moon to Mars development strategy that'll take in all the technological capabilities that we have, and also, the Director will be presenting the National Space Council with a plan to modernize the workforce.With that, if we - all those in favor of endorsing these recommendations by the National Space Council signify by saying "aye."PARTICIPANTS: Aye.THE VICE PRESIDENT: All opposed, "nay."In the opinion of the chair, the "ayes" have it, and the recommendations will be forwarded by the unanimous decision of the National Space Council. And I'll be discussing these recommendations with the President later today, and we'll be forwarding them to agencies at the President's direction.With that, let me simply close by saying thank you to all of the members of the National Space Council, to members of our User Advisory Group, and invite the crowd to join me in thanking these incredible Americans for their contribution to American leadership in space. Great job. (Applause.)I also want to thank Rex Geveden, Dr. Clive Neal, Dr. Saralyn Mark, and Dr. Elizabeth Turtle for a tremendous contribution to this discussion today. And your testimony today and your written testimony will continue to inform our work. So join me in thanking our panel one more time. (Applause.)America is leading in space once again thanks to the vision and the leadership of President Donald Trump. We have redoubled our commitment to lead on behalf of human exploration with NASA at the tip of the spear to engage our private sector partners to work in new and in renewed ways with the American people to advance American leadership.And with the President's direction as Commander-in-Chief, we are reorganizing our commitment to provide for the common defense in developing the United States Space Force, the U.S. Space Command, and to develop the technologies to protect this nation going forward.I know looking out at this crowd and I know to those looking on, there is tremendous enthusiasm for President Trump's leadership in space. But I ask only today that those of you who share this passion for renewed American leadership in space, go tell the story. It's exciting to be here at the Smithsonian. We have made a point, now this being the sixth meeting of the National Space Council, to travel. And our objective is to help relight the imagination of the American people of this space program. Fifty years is a long time. I know what I'm talking about. (Laughter.)But our determination - our determination is to capture the imagination of the American people - of men and women, and boys and girls all across this country - and, really, to inspire the world.And so I encourage each and every one of you - and maybe it'll be assisted if, before you leave here today, if you take a long stroll through this historic place, if you look at these tremendous remnants of American leadership in space.But I just want to challenge each and every one of you industry leaders who are here, those that are looking on, educators and public servants, is: Go tell the story, and go tell the story of American leadership in space. Tell the story not just to those who represent you in Washington, D.C., and to leaders at every level. But tell the story in your communities, in your state, and all across this nation.And I know, with your energetic support, with President Donald Trump's leadership and vision, with this extraordinary team that he has assembled, the work of NASA, and with God's help, America will lead mankind into the vast expanse of space.So, thank you very much. And God bless you. (Applause.)

Camus, Deputy Inspector General for Investigations, Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, United States Department of the Treasury, Washington, DCThe Honorable Mike Alley, Commissioner, Indiana Department of Revenue, Indianapolis, INThe Honorable John L. Valentine, Commission Chair, Utah State Tax Commission, Salt Lake City, UTMs. Ellen M. Klem, Director of Consumer Outreach & Education, Office of the Attorney General, Oregon Department of Justice, Salem, OR1000 TAX SCAMS HRG RS1 79 09;55;00;04 10;01;20;10 Committee enters, hearing starts on "growing criminal activity" 10;03;03;47 Hatch: Let me tell you about a number that's truly stunning, $15,800. Tell the story of a family that lost that much from savings *news clip on family, about 3 min*10;06;08;23 10;06;45;15 Sen. Widen opening remarks Says scammers have been trying to rip people off since the IRS was created The one hitting Oregonians hardest is the call demanding personal info on behalf of the IRS. He talks about how big of a problem scams are, said new scams use tax software to file false returns. Introduces Taxpayer Protection and Preparer Efficiency Act at beginning of session10;11;59;14 Introduce first witness, acting assistant attorney general Caroline Ciraolo10;12;37;19 Discuss DOJ efforts to combat tax return fraud. She says crimes often involve employees with access to databases of consumer information Serf advisory board or prosecutors to prosecute serf crimes 10;17;21;00 Introduce next witness, Timothy Camus at treasure inspector general10;17;53;35 CAMUS testimony Raising awareness among consumers may help prevent the next person from becoming a victim Schemes peak during filing system They have proven to be surprisingly effective because consumers don't realize it until they've given away the money "It is the largest and most pervasive impersonation scam that we are aware of, and it has claimed thousands of victims in every state represented on this committee." Victim receives phone call from someone claiming to be an IRS agent, gives them a fake name and badge number. Threaten the victim with arrest if they don't pay back taxes, sometimes they have the last four digits of victim's social security number10;19;58;21 Victims have paid a total of $15 million, average of $5,000 per victim Reaching out via media, IRS and FTC to raise awareness among taxpayers10;20;42;54 Another ongoing scam involves telling the victim they have won the lottery Says victim must pay taxes to receive their winnings, they will pay but never receive any winnings10;21;20;45 Tax return identity they Progress has been made to stop fraudulent returns before fraudulent information is released, but continued attention is needed Third party information is not received by IRS until after the deadline for filing returns Gap in time between January 20, when people start filing taxes, and deadline in April, blocks the IRS from conducting validity checks One solution is to block accounts of deceased individuals, IRS rejected more than 338,000 electronic returns and stopped nearly 16,000 paper returns IRS prevent issuance of more than $2 million in fraudulent returns as a result of filters10;22;58;52 Work is being done on multiple fronts to address these criminal activities10;23;16;31 Introduce next witness, Indiana Dept. of Revenue Commissioner Mike ALLEY Indiana dept. created a plan that stopped millions of dollars in fraudulent returns Spent $8 million and got $88 million back10;24;55;11 Alley testimony I'd like to share three points with you today nature of problem and overall breadth steps Indiana has taken steps to further address the problem In 2014, 12 percent of requested return dollars were fraudulent stopped 78,000 fraudulent returns, saved the state $88 million 10;26;00;40 still early in 2015, but we're already seeing a dramatic increase in the use of valid IDs that have been stolen "with increase of reported successful hacks all over the United States of US companies, we believe the availability of valid stolen IDs has never been greater and the fraudsters have clearly upped their game, and we must do the same."10;26;20;13 What we've done in Indiana Worked with Gov. Pence to identify a program Pilot program to screen all returns for suspicious identities, used LexisNexis to note identity theft information Withheld returns that prove to be suspicious, sent a confirmation letter to taxpayers asking them to confirm their identity must be a strategic priority, identity theft and refund fraud is here to stay and we must address it collaboration, sharing data best practices and experiences is important prepaid debit cards are an issue that needs to be addressed, preferred tool of fraudsters to receive their returns. 30 percent of those returns are fraudulent State, IRS and software vendors each represent a unique and important leg of the stool10;30;28;49 Introduce John Valentine of Ohio state tax commission 10;31;28;43 Here to discuss a way to reduce the tax frauds that we're seeing envelop this country 1- strengthen info sharing between IRS and states 2- stricter regulation of financial industry with prepaid debit cards 3- regulate practice of applying refunds to payment of fees for filing services 4- require third party filing service to tighten front end security and measures to acquire data10;32;10;56 Several factors common in all calls 1- returns had direct deposit info changed from previous year's account info to a prepaid debit card 2- address and info differ between federal and state returns 3- returns seem to have the exact 2013 data populated in the 2014 returns 4- address in 2014 was the exact same as 2013, even when there were errors Talked with IRS and said there may be a compromise of the electronic filing system. New fraud was that someone had tax returns, not just identity theft, from the previous year 10;35;04;21 found no uniformity in numbering to tell debit cards from bank accounts, could not distinguish debit cards from bank accounts Easy fix- require institutions to have identifying numbers in card numbers to identify it as a prepaid debit card 10;36;17;12 Next witness, Ellen Klem, Oregon Attorney General's office 10;36;45;58 KLEM testimony lately stories have focused almost exclusively on IRS imposter scam, has topped the list of complaints in Oregon 10;37;49;24 Stories: woman referred to as "Diane" Lost $15,000 to an IRS imposter scam, largest loss reported to Oregon DOJ in 2014 Scammer said woman would be arrested or charged $25,000 fine unless she purchased thousands of dollars of prepaid debit cards10;39;11;38 Another woman who sent a small amount of money to scammers realized it and stopped answering her phone. They then called her work at a small business, which cared for elderly patients, at a rate of 100 calls a minute for 20 minutes Oregon attorney general has several educational tools aimed at scam prevention10;41;13;25 QUESTIONS10;41;31;06 HATCH to VALENTINEe: you mentioned you would like to strengthen information sharing between IRS and the states, elaborate on what kind of information would be useful 10;42;16;28 VALENTINE: There are a couple of places that are rub points but information is not shared in real time, very much delayed One of the things the Senate finance committee may consider is moving up the deadline for W-2s for employers, now a 2 month gap between when taxpayers file and employer deadline Another is for the Senate and House to encourage the IRS to have a more formalized sharing of information10;44;02;30 HATCH to CAMUS: Can you pledge to me that your office is doing everything it can? 10;45;01;51 CAMUS: We spend time with victims, have a very aggressive ongoing investigation at this time10;45;20;19 HATCH: one thing that concerns me is identity refund fraud. This type of fraud is usually not detected until the refund has already been issued How to detect fraud earlier10;46;01;21 CAMUS: One of the challenges is that the criminals are watching the IRS, as the IRS continues to try to advance its filters the criminals change bc it's such a lucrative environment 10;46;44;19 WYDEN to CAMUS: question of foreign governments, phone scams originating overseas. Emerging form of organized crime, talk a bit about what we should ne looking at from a policy standpoint. Initiating efforts with foreign governments? What's the role for local law enforcement to go after money runners that collect payments? 10;48;25;21 CAMUS: The challenge with offshore attacks is getting our hands on these people, agreements and working relationships with foreign governments can create issues The problem we're seeing now is spinoffs of the crime because there's been money paid We could use help with getting our hands on a foreign national and bringing them to the US to prosecute them for white collar crimes10;49;36;05 WYDEN: issues with foreign governments?10;49;45;28 CAMUS: As you can imagine not all foreign governments feel sympathy for the united states 10;50;06;30 WYDEN: Move on to Anthem case, shows industrial scale of these rip-offs, cyber ID theft of 80 million people blocking this type of tax fraud increasingly is going to fall on the shoulders of tax collectors, both IRS and states10;51;26;04 ALLEY: We're seeing a significant increase in the number of valid stolen IDs in Indiana (Anthem based in Indiana) I think many companies have not invested adequately in protecting themselves from that and leave themselves vulnerable Share information elements more readily like to see the IRS take a greater leadership role10;53;07;18 THUNE: One measure that's been recommended is for the IRS to verify information from third parties such as the social security admin 10;54;13;09 CAMUS: Our auditors look at that on a regular basis, the fact that the IRS doesn't have in its automated system a W2 to match at the same time the taxpayer files their return limits the ability to do a simple validity check Anything we can do to increase the timeliness 10;55;06;02 VALENTINE: Only possible downside is that there's more information being transferred and opportunities for it to leak out 10;55;53;58 THUNE: It's been a number of years since we enacted the taxpayers bill of rights10;56;13;27 CAMUS: We look at the victim experience, continuing to look at and recommend changes and improvements THUNE: Are additional measures needed? CAMUS: Very traumatic for victim, not ready to comment on what they're doing but I understand there's been improvement10;57;02;39 VALENTINE: In Utah we have a taxpayer services division, have to process it quickly 10;57;39;21 THUNE: TurboTax breaches, reason TurboTax has experienced this and others haven't?10;57;56;46 ALLEY: not sure others haven't fraudsters are moving with great agility, when one door closes they readily move to another open door 10;58;35;38 WARNER: The IRS doesn't tell you you're a victim of fraud if they identify it, don't notify law enforcement Is there not a way through IRS or in collab with private providers, why haven't we created a single, easy to use portal so there's a single place where you can at least check whether this is a real claim or not11;02;26;23 valentine: two issues... tried to identify those issues with real time notifications that returns have been filed or flagged as fraudulent. Have an online system to check if your return has been filed11;03;58;32 WARNER: $3.8 billion in fraud11;04;38;26 HATCH: What amount of improper payments would you attribute to fraud v. taxpayer error?11;05;45;02 CAMUS: fraudsters look at any opportunity to get at money The fact that they would use tax credits that are legally available to taxpayers is not new, don't have the facts at my fingertips11;06;14;40 ISAKSON: Came home from Washington and had one of these messages you describe on my phone fortunately being a member of this committee I realized that probably wasn't true IRS does not make any solicitations by phone, only by mail 11;07;21;45 KLEM: "It is very common and it is very upsetting when that call comes in" "We need to do a better job of getting that into the hands of the general public" 11;08;10;40 ISAKSON: One of our problems is we don't have a point man to get the information to the public 11;08;52;47 CAMUS: "I will take any television interview that's put in front of me" because I believe that if we prevent one taxpayer from falling into this it's been a good day 11;10;04;22 ISAKSON: There was one case where a member of the medical team at Fort Benning took the information of soldiers at perpetrated tax fraud against them 11;10;51;32 ISAKSON: One of the problems that exist is we have not done a cybersecurity bill, there are provisions for idea sharing in the bill "I would hope we will get the message that we're part of the problem. Our cyber laws are way out of date with our cyber criminals and the quicker we in Congress act on that legislation the more taxpayers will be safe from fraud."11;11;24;07 Sen. from Pennsylvania: IRS phone scam widespread all over the state

1970S TELEVISION SHOWS

The following is a list of David Susskind Shows possibly housed in a number off-site facilities--if they can be located at all. These listed programs HAVE NOT BEEN INSPECTED thus we cannot guarantee the existence, quality, duration or timely delivery of any of the material listed here. We offer access to these tapes on the following basis ONLY: All tapes are on their original 2" video format. The only way to verify the contents is to screen them, thus we will need to pull them from the inventory, ship and transfer them before we are able to verify content and quality. A $500 fee PER TAPE is required when ordering screening material from this collection. This fee is NON-REFUNDABLE. This fee will cover the cost of 2" tape handling, 2" Fed-Ex shipping (2-way) and 2" transfer. PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY SHOWS ARE ON TWO SEPARATE TAPES, THUS IT COULD COST DOUBLE ($1000) TO SCREEN SOME COMPLETE SHOWS. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT EVEN IF YOU ORDER A SHOW BASED ON THE CATALOG NUMBER AND TITLE FROM THIS DATABASE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL GET THE TAPE YOU ORDER. THIS IS BECAUSE THROUGH THE YEARS TAPES MAY HAVE BEEN PLACED IN THE INCORRECT CASES AND THE WRITTEN INFORMATION ON THE CASES IS ALL WE HAVE TO ID A TAPE BEFORE IT IS TRANSFERRED.WHILE WE WILL USE ALL EFFORTS TO EXPEDITE YOUR REQUEST, BUT WE CANNOT RUSH THE PROCESS, AND YOU ORDER THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The committee will come to order.The committee meets today to hear about growing criminal activity that is targeting taxpayers across the country. These criminal acts are perpetrated by thieves hiding behind telephone lines and computers, preying on honest taxpayers and robbing the treasury of tens of billions of dollars every year. This must stop, and we are here today to hear from some of the federal and state officials on the front lines of the fight to catch these crooks and protect taxpayers. But first, I want to talk about one case in particular, and one very large number, by the way. It's -- it's a -- this is a hearing that is long overdue, as far as I'm concerned, and we'll -- we'll get into it -- I think -- I have to apologize. Senator Wyden is not here yet, but he's coming.In this town, and especially right here on this committee, we often talk in terms of hundreds of millions, billions, or even trillions of dollars. Some joke about a number being referred to as "budget dust," even if that number has nine or ten zeros behind it.But let me tell you about a number that is truly stunning. It's $15,800. Now, that $15,800 saved through hard work, sacrifice and honest living. That's $15,800 saved for the down payment of a new house for a growing family. And that's $15,800 in savings that was wiped away by criminals who use fear, confusion and intimidation as their weapons.This is a story of the Dagen (ph) family from Taylorsville (ph), Utah, and I would like to play a news clip from KTVX, a Utah ABC affiliate, that tells their story.Can we do that?(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)(UNKNOWN): (OFF-MIKE) on steroids. These crooks have gotten a lot more sophisticated and a lot more aggressive. Melissa Dagen (ph) learned that the hard way one week ago. (UNKNOWN): (inaudible)(UNKNOWN): Brendan (ph) and Melissa Dagen (ph) and their three daughters are excited for Christmas, but they only have a Christmas presents under their tree. On Friday, December 5th, Melissa (ph) got a phone call telling her she owed back taxes from 2009 and was about to be arrested.(UNKNOWN): I was just, like, Well, what can I do to fix this? I -- there's no way I can be arrested. I don't have anyone one to watch my kids, and they wouldn't let me get off the phone. (UNKNOWN): At the same time, another scammer was calling her phone with the bogus caller ID 911. Convinced the police were on the way, Melissa (ph) went to the bank and withdrew $15,800, which she used to pay prepaid green dot (ph) cards. She then gave the code numbers to the thieves, and that money was gone by the time Melissa (ph) realized she had been victimized. (UNKNOWN): I haven't been able to stop crying in the last week. I can't eat. My appetite has totally changed. I am sick to my stomach, embarrassed, you know, just lost that all this money we were trying to save for a down payment on a home -- because we need a bigger home to take care of our three kids -- and just -- my heart has just been totally ripped out because of this. (UNKNOWN): The story is too familiar to Lieutenant Justin Hoyle (ph) of the Unified Police Department, which is investigating dozens of these cases.(UNKNOWN): Lieutenant coil -- lieutenant: These suspects that are calling are getting more and more forceful as they're doing it. They're demanding that people pay. They're demanding that they go and get these prepaid debit cards. And they're telling them that they have outstanding warrants for their arrest. They're sending the police to come and arrest them.(UNKNOWN): For the record, neither the IRS or the police collect payments over the phone. Melissa (ph) wishes she knew that a week ago and has a message for the people who did this.(UNKNOWN): I forgive you, but it is sick and it's wrong. And I don't know how they could live with themselves, you know? If -- I do not know how they could make phone calls and hurt people -- not any time of the year, but especially during Christmas.(UNKNOWN): Now Melissa's (ph) cousin has started a Gofundme page where people can donate to help recoup some of the Dagens' (ph) losses. Friends, relatives and total strangers are giving whatever they can to Melissa (ph) and Brendan's (ph) fund to help this family recover.We have put a link to Melissa (ph) and Brendan's (ph) Gofundme page on our Web site, Goodforutah.com. At last check, it has raised $4,000. In the studio, Rick Erin (ph) Good for Utah.(END VIDEO CLIP)HATCH: Well, that's one family out of millions of that have been targeted and thousands that have been victimized, and this is just one scam. So make no mistake, taxpayers across the country are also facing identity theft in record numbers, account takeovers and other criminal attacks.Once again, we have to stop this. Taxpayers must be more aware of the risks and better protected from attack. And these criminals must be found and brought to justice.I look forward to the testimony from our witnesses on today's panel and to hearing more about how we can accomplish these goals.Now, let me turn over the time to Senator Wyden for his opening remarks.WYDEN: Thank you very much, Chairman Hatch, and I very much appreciate the opportunity to work on these issues in a bipartisan way.Colleagues, since the day that the IRS opened its doors, scam artists have been hatching up slick new ways of stealing taxpayer dollars from the treasury. What's new is the ripoff artists are now stealing Americans' identities and personally threatening them on an industrial scale, while directly robbing them of their hard-earned money. The fraudsters are constantly dreaming up new tactics, and then they milk them for all they're worth before they start getting caught. Then it's lather, rinse and repeat, on to the next scam, always one step ahead of the law.Today, the committee will closely examine several of the fraudsters' latest strategies that are plaguing taxpayers. The one that's hitting Oregonians hardest is the fake phone call demanding money or personal information on behalf of the IRS. In fact, these calls were the number one consumer complaint registered with the Oregon Department of Justice just last year.Not everybody knows that the IRS simply does not cold call individuals, making demands or threats. So it's pretty clear from my vantage point there is a lot more work to be done to defeat this scourge. Given the sophistication of this criminal activity, and the fact that a lot of it comes from overseas, this sure looks to me like an emerging type of organized crime.So the real question is, what is it going to take to root it out and get the bad actors on the sidelines? What's the role for more prosecutions, stronger deterrence, more cops on the beat? And what's the best way of getting the word out so that taxpayers aren't tricked into surrendering their life's savings to some intimidating voice on the other end of the phone line? But even if our people manage to avoid the phone calls, you can bet that the crooks find other ways to profit. Tax preparation software has become the scammers' new fast lane. The sharks manage to acquire a taxpayer's personal data from the black market or hack into commercial databases, and then they file false returns electronically. The victims may not find out until much later in tax season, and by then it's just too late.Already, there have been thousands of reports like this in 2015. As we'll hear today, some software vendors aren't doing enough to help prevent fraud.In my view, part of the challenge is getting the states, Internet tax services and IRS on the same wavelength. They've got to communicate and work together to make sure that the criminals can't just, in a nimble fashion, slide from one jurisdiction to the next as they rip off more unsuspecting Americans.Now, some taxpayers may choose to avoid software, but not even a paid tax preparer is guaranteed to be safe. In fact, many of them don't meet any standards for competence. There are far too many of these con artists out there are willing and able to prey on the people who come through their doors. In some of the most offensive cases, they secretly falsify their victims' returns to boost the refunds, and then they pocket the difference. And once the tax season ends, the crooks disappear from the storefronts they occupied, and there's no trace on where they've gone.A few states like mine have rules in place to help shield the taxpayer from this kind of ripoff. Most states do not. So Senator Cardin and I have introduced a Taxpayer Protection and Preparer Proficiency Act at the beginning of this Congress to give all Americans the security they deserve. Our colleague, Senator Nelson, is also a leader on this issue of keeping taxpayers safe from identity theft and fraud. And all of us wish, as I indicated to Chairman Hatch, to work on this in a bipartisan way.The bottom line is there is no end to the ingenuity of the con artist, so my hope this morning is we'll get some fresh ideas for catching up to this wave of fraud and stopping it. Obviously, it cannot come soon enough.We've got a distinguished panel here today. I'm especially pleased that Ms. Ellen Klem, director of consumer outreach and education in the Oregon attorney general's office is here. I thank you, Ms. Klem -- to all our witnesses.Mr. Chairman, I look forward to working with you and our colleagues on this in a bipartisan way.HATCH: Well, thank you, Senator. Wyden.Our first witness today is acting assistant attorney general Caroline Ciraolo of the tax division of the U.S. Department of Justice. Ms. Ciraolo was appointed principal deputy assistant attorney general and deputy assistant attorney general of planning and policy of the tax division in January of this year. Prior to that, she was chair of the tax and litigation group at Rosenberg Martin Greenberg (ph) in Baltimore.Ms. Ciraolo, we welcome you to the committee. We look forward to hearing your testimony.CIRAOLO: Thank you, Senator (ph). Chairman Hatch, Ranking Member Wyden and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you to discuss the Department of Justice's efforts to combat identity theft and tax refund fraud. The department greatly appreciates the commitment that this committee has brought to this very important issue. Combating the theft of personal information to file fraudulent tax refund claims is a top priority for both the Tax Division and U.S. attorneys' offices across the country. Your efforts to bring attention to this growing and insidious crime will help educate taxpayers about the importance of detecting and reporting identity theft and fraud.Today's hearing also sends a strong message that the government is determined to identify and prosecute the individuals behind these schemes, and in doing so, will bring all its resources to bear. The department's Tax Division, which I have the honor and privilege of leading as acting assistant attorney general, has one purpose, to enforce the nation's tax laws fully, fairly and consistently through civil litigation and criminal prosecutions.Our close working relationships with IRS criminal investigation, TIGTA, the U.S. Postal Service, the FBI, the U.S. attorneys' offices and other federal, state and local law enforcement partners continue to enhance the government's ability to respond quickly, efficiently and forcefully to often changing patterns of criminal conduct.Stolen identity refund fraud, or SIRF, is an example of this type of challenge. In SIRF crimes, offenders steal Social Security numbers and other personal information. They file tax returns early in the filing season showing a false refund claim, and then have the refunds of electronically deposited to a bank account, loaded on pre-paid debit cars or mailed to an address where the wrongdoer can access a check.CIRAOLO: SIRF crimes often involve multiple offenders at various levels of the conspiracy and frequently involve employees with access to databases containing large volumes of personal information.SIRF crimes often hit the most vulnerable members of our society like Melissa (ph) and Brendan (ph). These include, but are certainly not limited to, the elderly, the hospitalized, students and members of our military overseas. While the IRS will make good on any refund due to the tax payer, there are inevitable burdens and delays while the matter is addressed, and the victims often experience a profound sense of violation. Moreover, we are all victimized by a loss of the U.S. Treasury.SIRF crimes require immediate action to prevent enormous harm to the American public. To this end, the tax division expedites its review procedures in SIRF cases, and has issued Directive 144, which delegates to U.S. attorney's offices, among other things, the authority to initiate tax-related grand jury investigations in SIRF matters, and to charge those involved in SIRF crimes by complaint without prior authorization from the tax division.The collaborative efforts of the tax division and its law enforcement partners has strengthen the response to this crime. Trough December 31st, 2014, the department prosecuted more than 1,400 individuals, and courts are imposing substantial sentences.To further leverage the information gained from each investigation, in February 2014, the assistant attorney general of the tax division created a SIRF advisory board, consisting of experienced SIRF prosecutors. The board works to develop and implement a national strategy to ensure consistent and effective nationwide enforcement and prosecution of SIRF crimes.For example, the board conducts training sessions for fraud analysts at the IRS scheme (ph) development centers. The board provides training and resources to prosecutors across the country, and it works with U.S. attorney's offices to develop local task forces.These initiatives enable prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to work together to identify schemes, and to pursue the most culpable offenders while providing the IRS with real time information that can be used to improve its filters and stop the issuance of fraudulent refunds.The prosecution of SIRF crimes is a national priority, and together with our law enforcement partners, we will continue to look for the most effective ways to punish the offenders and bring this conduct to an end.Thank you, again, for this opportunity to provide the department's perspective on this issue, and I look forward to answering any questions you may have.HATCH: Well, thank you so much.Our next witness is Timothy Camus, the deputy inspector general for investigations at the Treasury, inspector general for Tax Administration, or TIGTA. Mr. Camus has served at -- TIGTA and TIGTA's predecessor of the Internal Revenue Service inspection service for over 23 years. He has a long career of having successfully investigated cases of domestic terrorism, bribery, and fraud affecting the IRS. We certainly welcome you, Mr. Camus, and we look forward to taking your testimony at this time.CAMUS: Thank you. Chairman Hatch, Ranking Member Wyden, and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify on the topic of tax schemes and scams during the 2015 filing season.By raising public awareness about criminal's efforts to swindle honest Americans out of the their money, we may prevent the next person from becoming a victim, which is a very good thing.Each year, the IRS compiles what it sees as the dirty dozen tax scams on its website. Many of these schemes peak during the filing season as people prepare their returns or utilize the service of paid preparers. My statement today briefly outlines the top schemes and scams currently effecting tax payers as they have proven to be surprisingly effective ways to steal money, in many cases, before the victim even realizes they've been scammed.The first scam is the phone impersonation scam, which landed on the top of the dirty dozen list this year. It is the largest and most pervasive impersonation scam that we're aware of, and it has claimed thousands of victims in every state represented on this committeeHere's how it works. The intended victim receives an unsolicited phone call from a person claiming to be an IRS agent. The caller, using a fake name, tells the victim a made up badge number and claims that they owe tax, and they are criminally liable for some amount owed. The callers may even know the last four digits of the victim's Social Security number.They then threaten the victim by stating that if they fail to pay immediately, the victim will be arrested or face other criminal sanctions, such as losing their drivers license. I, myself, received one of these calls at my home on a Saturday.TIGTA has received over 366,000 reports of these calls, averaging between 9,000 and 12,000 calls coming into my agency each week. As of March 9th, 2015, over 3,000 individuals have been victimized by this scam by paying a total of $15.5 million, or an average of $5,000 per victim. The highest reported loss by one individual was a staggering $500,000. And in one particularly sad story, a member of this committee forwarded a letter to us from a constituent whose close relatives suffered a tragic death after receiving harassing phone calls from these scammers.To help educate tax payers, we are reaching out via the media in conjunction with the IRS and the Federal Trade Commission, as well as providing testimony to this committee in hopes to eliminate this type of abuse and to prevent other vulnerable individuals from becoming victimized.Another ongoing scam I'd like to highlight involves using the story that the victim has won a lottery. This is a continuation of an old scam. It starts with an e-mail or a telephone call out of the blue, declaring that the victim has won the lottery, but in order to collect the winnings, they must first pay the tax to the IRS.The lottery scam often, but not always, originates from outside of the United States. In the end, the victims pay the money, but they never receive any lottery winnings.Just as serious as these scams is the risk of taxpayer refund identity theft. The IRS has made improvements in its identification of identity theft returns before fraudulent tax refunds are released, but continued attention is needed to effectively combat this crime.For example, the IRS still does not have timely access to third- party income and withholding information. Most of this third-party information is not received by the IRS until well after the taxpayers begin filing their returns. The deadline for most information returns with the IRS is March 31st, yet taxpayers begin filing their returns, this year, on January 20th.This gap in time prevents the IRS from conducting validity checks. Of course, legislation would be needed to accelerate the filing of the information returns. The IRS has taken steps to effectively prevent the filing of identity theft tax returns by locking the tax accounts of deceased individuals to prevent others from filing a return using the departed's name or Social Security number.For processing year 2014, the IRS rejected over 338,000 e-filed returns and stopped nearly 16,000 paper filed returns through the use of these locks. Just 11 days after the filing season this year began, the IRS reported that it had prevented the issuance of more than $2 million in fraudulent refund -- refunds as a result of these filters.Other schemes, such as prisoner fraud, unscrupulous tax preparers, and phishing scams, are discussed in depth in my written testimony. Much work is being done on multiple fronts to address these criminal activities. We hope this work will reduce or eliminate their impact on taxpayers.Chairman Hatch, Ranking Member Wyden, thank you for the opportunity to share my views. I look forward to questions.HATCH: Thank you so much.I'm going to turn briefly to Senator Coats to introduce out next witness. COATS: Mr. Chairman, thank you very much, and I thank you for inviting our Indiana Department of Revenue commissioner, Mike Alley, to testify today.Thanks to the leadership of governor -- our governor, Mike Pence, and Commissioner Alley, our Department of Revenue developed a plan that stopped $88 million in attempted identity theft in the last filing season. This involved 78,000 fraudulent returns and 12 percent of all the refund dollars that were requested.The cost to that, as Mr. Alley will explain, cost the state $8 million. The return on investment was $88 million. Compared with some of the things we do around here, which is usually the opposite, spend 88 and get 8, we spent 8 and got 88 back and saved a lot of tax payers from this fraud, and -- bringing the needed savings to our state.Mr. Alley -- Commissioner Alley brings a wealth of private sector experiences in his -- to his job. He's worked for decades in leadership positions in the banking industry. He's a CPA, he -- has started businesses, so he understands the first hand -- how important customer service role is for the Department of Revenue.Again, Mr. Chairman, I thank you for inviting Commissioner Mike Alley to testify this morning, and look forward to his testimony.ALLEY: Thank you, Senator Coats. Chairman Hatch, Ranking Member Wyden, and committee members, thank you for inviting me to discuss this important topic with you today. On behalf of Governor Pence and the citizens of Indiana, it truly is our honor to be here and share our story.I'd like to share really three points with you today. The first, the nature of the problem and the overall breadth, which we've already heard here today is significant. The steps that Indiana has taken and the lessons we've learned, and then recommendations to more fully and effectively address this epidemic problem.Tax refund fraud is one of the most lucrative platforms for criminals to monetize the value of stolen identity information. And the advent of the electronic filing and processing has only enhanced the ability of criminals to utilize economies of scale in filing large volumes of fraudulent returns at nominal cost.As Senator Coats indicated, in 2014, 12 percent of the total refund dollars that we -- that were requested from Indiana were found to be fraudulent. Fortunately, we were able to stop them. It represented 78,000 fraudulent returns that we -- that we stopped that contained manufactured or stolen IDs. And, again, we saved the state $88 million in the process.It's still early in the 2015 filing season, but we're already seeing a dramatic increase in the use of valid IDs, which have been stolen. With the increase of the reported successful hacks all across the United States of -- of U.S. companies, we believe the availability of valid stolen IDs has never been greater. And the fraudsters have clearly upped their game, and we must do the same. Second, let me share with you what we've done here in Indiana. In 2012, we realized that we were suffering substantial losses from -- from refund fraud. Accordingly, we worked with Governor Pence and his team to effectively identify a program that we could begin building. We knew that we needed to take significant, systemic modifications and we needed to do it before the next filing season.Our staff reached out to fellow states through the Federation of Tax Administrators, and also our partners at the IRS, to see there -- if there were some ideas we could borrow and implement rapidly. The response was very supportive, though we noted partial solutions and fragmented efforts across the group.With strong support from Governor Pence, we initiated a pilot program to screen all returns for suspicious identities. This program used LexisNexis, a third-party commercial vendor, to screen returns and note identity theft information, such as name, address, Social Security number, and other identifier information. We processed those returns, when they proved to be suspicious, we withheld those and -- sent a confirmation letter to those tax payers to have them confirm their identities.Again, this had a dramatic impact on our ability to recognize fraudulent identities and stop those refunds. You know, the identity confirmation quiz is only a part of a larger process. It became very clear in the beginning that the department would need to make some systemic changes by making significant investment in both staff, technology, and further, we needed to change our approach to how we deal with fraud.For the 15 filing season, we have continued to make enhancements, we have implemented some new pre-filter processing platforms that include a decision matrix that will allow us to better identify those valid IDs. We have also defined greater expectations from our soft -- certified software vendors as to the information they will provide to us and the level of fraud that they send our way.We're still battling this problem, but a few key lessons have been learned. First, it must be a strategic priority. Identity theft and refund fraud is here to stay and we've got to address it. Requires a fiscal investment in leadership, staff, technology, and third-party resources.Second, collaboration. No one has all the answers, and we can't solve this problem by ourselves. Sharing data, best practices, and experiences among all of the revenue agencies across the states, as well as the federal and software vendors, is going to be important. Having access and ability to -- to communicate on a timely basis is critical. We've got to develop some targeted solutions. Fraudsters will continue to change their approaches and we've got to stay ahead.Finally, I just note that prepaid debit cards are an issue that I think needs to be addressed. It is a -- preferred tool of fraudsters in receiving refunds. We found that over 50 percent of those returns with prepaid debit cards are fraudulent. In terms of some recommendations on things we can do, we -- we consider that the solution really encompasses a three legged stool concept, which notes that the states, the IRS, and software vendors each represent a significant and important leg of the stool. Each has unique data, perspectives, and capabilities that the system as a whole requires in order for us to make better decisions.The IRS is certainly in a -- great position to help us manage highly sophisticated fraud. States must work more collaboratively together. And, finally, software vendors also have great information and can be helpful in providing us -- sharing their intelligence.ALLEY: In conclusion, I just want to summarize that, first, this problem is here to stay, and we've got to address it. Secondly, collaboration and sharing of information among the IRS and the states, reducing some of the barriers to our ability to share anonymous aggregate information is critical. Third, we've got to make investments. As Senator Coats noted, we made an investment that yielded over a 10 times return, and I'm confident providing that continued investment is the only way that we can get out ahead of this and beat it.On behalf of Governor Mike Pence and the citizens of Indiana, thank you for allowing us to share our story. I look forward to trying to any questions you may have. But thank you for allowing us to be here.HATCH: Well, thank you. Thank you, Senator Coats and Commissioner Alley. We appreciate you making an effort to be here.I'm very pleased to introduce our next witness, commission chair John Valentine of the Utah state Tax Commission. Chairman Valentine was a member of the Utah state senate, where he served with distinction from 1998 until his confirmation as tax commissioner -- as tax commission chair in September 2014. Prior to that, he was in the Utah house of representatives and was also an attorney in private practice.Chairman Valentine, we're really grateful that you've taken time out of your schedule to be with us today. Want to thank you for coming to Washington during the filing season and joining the hearing this morning. So we appreciate all of you being here.VALENTINE: Thank you very much, Chairman Hatch and ranking member Wyden. Thank you also for giving us this time.Esteemed members of the committee, I'm here to discuss ways to reduce the tax frauds that we're seeing envelope (ph) this country. There's four issues that you really ought to consider. Number one, strengthened information sharing between the IRS and the states. Number two, stricter regulation of the financial industry as it relates to prepaid debit cards.Number three, regulate the practice of applying refunds to payment of fees for filing services, a practice sometimes called in the industry refund transfers. And four, require third-party filing services to tighten front end security by using multi-factor authentication and other measures to secure data from unauthorized disclosure and identity theft.Prior to the commencement of the 2015 filing season, Utah installed a state of the art computer software system to identify potentially fraudulent returns. On January 20th of this year, Utah Tax Commission opened filing of income tax returns and deployed this system. As we began to process returns, our system started sending out error notices that said that these were fraudulent returns. We then followed up with verification letters of the suspicious returns to the taxpayers. Within 10 days after opening the filing season, we began receiving calls from taxpayers saying, We have not filed our returns yet. We initially thought that these were isolated incidents, but as the week progressed, it was clear that they were not.We found several factors that were common in all of these calls. One, the returns had the direct deposit information changed from the previous year's bank account to a pre-paid debit card. Two, the returns contained routing and account numbers that differed between the federal returns and the state returns. Three, most of the returns appeared to have the exact 2013 return data populated in the 2014 return.The next issue we found was common was the address on the returns was the same as the address on the 2013, even when there was error in the address. And finally, since most of the filings were made through one vendor, it appeared that something in their process was compromised. After communicating with that vendor and notifying other states of what we were finding, we talked with the Internal Revenue Service and said we think there may be a compromise of the MEF system -- that's modernized electronic filing system. The accounts in question that we were able to identify were immediately sent to the Ogden service center. Thirty-one returns in that first week were confirmed suspicious.We asked them in a phone conversation to confirm on their side. We're still waiting to hear from them. Many have asked what action was undertaken by the state of Utah when it discovered this attack. In short, we hurried. We stopped all refunds until we could get our arms around it.During that first week, we found five different fraud schemes, four of which were ones we'd seen before. They were institutions. They were preparers. But one was a new one, and the new one was someone had actual tax returns -- not just identity theft, but tax returns from the prior year.Now, as we continue to prevent the outflow of fraudulent refunds, we found great difficulty determining the nature of the financial institution and the account information. Specifically, we found that there was no uniformity in numbering to determine traditional debit cards from traditional bank accounts. In other words, we could not tell whether we were refunding to a prepaid debit card or whether we were refunding to a legitimate bank account.There's an easy fix on this one. The easy fix is to require the financial industries to have identifier numbers in the routing number or in the account number to identify this as a pre-paid debit card. We do that already with checking accounts and savings accounts. We don't do it with pre-paid debit cards.While we progressed the investigation, we found a practice that enables fraudsters to perpetrate fraud without having anything at all at risk -- the refund transfer. Here's how it works. The fraudster is allowed to deduct the third-party filing fees from the refund. The third party filing fee gets paid, the fraudster receives the cash, and the state of Utah is out the money.Finally, we found third-party finance services often lack front end identity security measures. Quality firewalls need to be installed by third-party vendors both for the IRS and for the state tax commissions.Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you, ranking member Wyden.HATCH: Thank you. Appreciate your testimony.Finally, I welcome Ellen Klem from the office of the Oregon attorney general. Ms. Klem serves as the director of consumer education and outreach at the attorney general's office and works to protect Oregonians from financial scams, including the types of scams and schemes we're talking about today.So we're happy to welcome you here, as we have the others, and we look forward to taking your testimony.KLEM: Thank you, Chairman Hatch and ranking member Senator Wyden. It's an honor to be here today and share my expertise and experience with you.Every day, I hear stories from Oregonians about a wide variety of frauds and scams. Lately, these stories have focused almost exclusively on the IRS impostor scam. That's because, as Senator Wyden mentioned earlier, in 2014, this scam topped Oregon's list of consumer complaints.Last year, we received more than 1,300, nearly twice the number as the next highest category. And what's worse, these victims reported losses to us totaling more than $75,000. And we know from testimony presented here today that that number is just the tip of the iceberg.And that's why I'm here to tell you -- here today to tell you the story of two of those victims and talk a little bit about what the Oregon attorney general is doing to prevent this from happening to others.The first story is that of a woman I'll refer to as Diane (ph). In August of 2014, she lost $15,000 to an IRS impostor scam. This is the largest individual loss reported to the Oregon Department of Justice in 2054. Like many other victims, she received a message on her answering machine from a man claiming to be from the IRS, directing her to call him back at a phone number with a 202 area code.She returned the call, and the person who answered read her an affidavit for her arrest, threatened her with a fine of $25,000, 18 months in prison, and told her she would be arrested later that day if she did not pay.Diane (ph) was terrified. She pleaded. She begged. The scammer said he could settle the matter but only if she paid $15,000 by purchasing a series of pre-paid money cards. Diane (ph) made the only choice she thought she had. She complied with the request and she was out $15,000.Individuals like Diane (ph) who send money to the scammers aren't the only victims of impostor scams. In September of 2014, I was contacted by Marissa Phillip (ph), a small business owner whose employee, Linda (ph), had fallen victim to an impostor scam.After sending a very small amount of money to the scammers, Linda (ph) quickly realized she'd been had and stopped answering her phone. But the scammers kept calling. And when it was clear they weren't going to get ahold of Linda (ph) at that phone number, they began calling Marissa's (ph) small business, a business that provides in- home care services for seniors and persons with disabilities.When Marissa (ph) called me a few days later, she told me the scammers had called her business at a rate of 100 phone calls per minute for 20 minutes straight, and all of these calls prevented her from providing help to those who actually needed it, the seniors, their families, hospitals, doctors and other staff. Ultimately, Marissa (ph) was forced to change her business's phone number and all of its accompanying marketing materials.Thankfully, not everyone in Oregon who receives a phone call from an IRS impostor falls victim to the scam, and I'd like to think that's because we have been working very hard to educate all Oregonians, especially our most vulnerable.The Oregon attorney general has several educational tools aimed at scam prevention because she and I both know that well-informed Oregonians are much more likely to recognize fraud and less likely to become victims if they're educated.We also know these scams can be very hard to track and prosecute. The Oregon attorney general also has invested in strong partnerships with federal, state, local governmental entities and officials, tribes, community organizations, advocacy groups and members of the media. Through these partnerships, we're able to share complaints, coordinate investigations and disseminate information to the public. Our partners give us a stronger voice to share information and keep Oregonians like Diane (ph), Linda (ph) and Marissa (ph) safe.This concludes my testimony. Again, thank you, Chairman Hatch, and thank you, Senator Wyden, for the opportunity to share these stories with you today.HATCH: Well, we want to thank you and all the witnesses here today. My gosh, it's -- I think a lot of people are going to be very surprised at how this is ballooning in our country.Let me turn to you, Commissioner Valentine. I want to thank you again for coming all the way back here to testify in the midst of filing season. And I really applaud the innovative approaches that you're taking, you and other state commissioners like Commissioner Alley are taking, as well, to protect our taxpayers and to stop criminals.Now, in your testimony, you mentioned that you would like to strengthen information sharing between the IRS and the states. I would really appreciate it if you would elaborate a little bit more on that idea just to explain what kind of information would be useful to you, and what information you could provide to the IRS that would perhaps be of use to them or useful to them.If you have any suggestions about how the Finance Committee could help facilitate the sharing of information, I would also like to have your comment on that, if you care to.VALENTINE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. There's actually a couple of places that are kind of rub (ph) points. Let me say this as a background, though, We have a great working relationship with the IRS, especially the ones we deal with. The memorandum of understanding that we have with the service allows us to share information.The trouble is this is not being shared in real time. The information is very, very much delayed. Sometimes, we're not getting the information that we could use very timely to be able to look at the returns as they're coming.One of the things that the Senate Finance Committee may consider is the idea of moving up the filing deadline for the W-2s for employers. As I think Mr. -- Senator Wyden indicated, we have a problem. Right now, as W-2s go out to the individuals on the 31st, but we have a big gap because the -- the employers don't have to have them out until March 31st. So we have a two-month gap.States are under a lot of pressure, as is the federal government, to make the refunds. So this is the people's money. They've overpaid. And yet we can't give them the refund without knowing for certain that the right person is getting the refund. That gap is a big problem for us, and that one would help a lot.Another is for the Senate and the House to be able to really encourage the IRS to have a more formalized sharing of information. I gave you the one example of 31 returns we submitted just six weeks ago. They should be able to -- be able to respond pretty quickly on something like that. We'd identified them as fraudulent returns. We confirmed with the taxpayers that returns had not even been filed, and yet we still can't hear back in real time.Those are the kinds of things that I think could really help us.HATCH: Well, thank you very much.Mr. Camus, let me ask you this. I want to thank you and the inspector general, as well, for all of your efforts to catch these criminals and educate the public about these type of scams. In my opening statement, I showed the video about the Dagen (ph) family. The same criminals who targeted them are likely out there this very minute targeting other Americans. And can you pledge to me that your office is doing everything in its power to track them down and stop them? Can I have that commitment?CAMUS: Sir, you more than have that commitment. The men and women that work at the Treasury inspector general for tax administration are working day and night on this crime, and we're partnering with other law enforcement agencies, as well.It -- it hurts us when these victims are -- are victimized as described here. We instruct our agents that when you run into a victim or you -- or you hear from a victim who has actually lost money, we spend time with those victims, hear their stories, and we attempt to get as much information as we can. We have a very aggressive ongoing investigation at this time, and I would hope that in the very near future I could come and describe to you the successes of that investigation. HATCH: That's great.Another scam that particularly worries me is the stolen identity -- identity refund fraud. A recent GAO report calculated that the IRS paid at least $5.8 billion of fraudulent refunds to identified thieves in 2013. Now, this type of fraud is usually not detected until the refund has already been issued. As a result, the government must attempt to recover funds that have already been dispersed to a criminal, which is no easy task.It would be better if we could detect more of this fraud before payments were made. Do you have any suggestions about how TIGTA and the IRS can detect this type of fraud earlier and stop fraudulent payments from going out the door?CAMUS: As -- as noted by opening statements by -- by the witnesses and -- and committee members, one of the challenges the criminals are out there watching the Internal Revenue Service. They -- they realize that $3.1 trillion goes through the IRS on an annual basis, 374 billion in refunds. It's a very ripe target for them.So, as the IRS continues to try to advance its filters in response to new approaches to the fraud, the criminals change because it's such a lucrative environment. Our audit staff continues to look at the filters that the IRS has in place and comment and recommend additional or approved filters. And we have seen improvement in some of them, but it continues to be a major challenge to keep up with a criminal enterprise. HATCH: Well, thank you.Senator Wyden, we'll turn to you. WYDEN: Thank you very much, and this has been a suburb panel, Mr. Chairman. And Ms. Klem, thank you for the wonderful work that you're doing in our state, particularly for older people. I think you know those are my roots with the gray panthers. I am really glad that you're out there on that beat. It's incredibly important. I want to ask you, Mr. Camus, about this question of the foreign governments, because it looks to me, and you mentioned it in your testimony, and it's clear that these phone scams, a lot of them are originating overseas, it looks to me like this is essentially an emerging form of organized crime. And you're conducting an investigation, and I recognize that there are some things you can't say, but let's talk a little bit about some of the things that we ought to be looking at from a policy standpoint.First, there's the question of whether we ought to be initiating efforts in terms of work with foreign governments and what they can do to assist us. The second, what is the rule for local law enforcement, because you can go after the money runners who collect the payments. In other words, the -- the ripoff artists are overseas, but they're gonna need money runners to collect the payments.So, let's start with those two, and there may be other opportunities. I know we have strike forces in terms of Medicaid, these inter agency forces, but tell us a little bit -- nothing that would compromise your investigation, but tell us a little bit about what we can be looking at that will give you more tools to fight particularly the ripoff artists that have done so much damage from overseas.CAMUS: Thank you -- thank you so much for the opportunity. Of course, the challenge when we're dealing with these attacks being launched off shore is, first of all, getting our hands on these people. And, as you pointed out, senator, the agreements or working relationships we would have various foreign governments can create issues there, and we would ask the help for that. But the problem we're seeing now is that, because there has been money paid, other -- we're seeing other spinoffs of this crime. So, although we're focused and we think we know where it originated to start, we're now starting to see indications that other criminals have ripped off the original idea, and now they're launching these types of attacks. So, it continues to be a challenge, but I think -- think we're on to something. But it would certainly be something we could use some help on down the road as far as getting our hands on a foreign national and bringing them to justice in the United States for a white-collar crime. WYDEN: Without compromising the investigation, can you tell us a little bit -- you said there were some problems in working with the foreign governments. Can you just give us a little bit of a -- of a sense of what those are?CAMUS: Well, as you can imagine, in -- in the world today, not all foreign governments would feel sorry for the United States, with our citizens and our financial -- the integrity of our financial systems suffering these types of scams. It's one of the reasons my agency takes this crime so seriously, because it imputes the integrity of the Internal Revenue Service.So, there -- there are those out there that would -- that don't feel bad for the United States and aren't necessarily interested in helping us bring these types of criminals to justice, sir.WYDEN: Let's move onto the Anthem case, because this is one that really shows the industrial scale on these incredible ripoffs, something like 80 million people, you know, cyber ID theft. And they're one of the biggest health insurers in the country, they've indicated now that 80 million Americans may have been hacked, opening the way to misuse of this data, certainly in terms of fraudulent health claims, but also this criminal enterprise we're talking about today with ID theft, including tax fraud.And I've raised this question with the inspector general in the past. And it seems to me that blocking this type of tax fraud increasingly is going to fall on the shoulders of tax collectors, both the IRS and the state. So, I would be interested in the panel's recommendations on what else we need to do to give you the tools to fight ID theft from cyber attacks. So, any of you that would like to get into it. I saw all the state officials already nodding their -- their heads. Why don't we hear from Indiana first? Just to keep things in the center, I always like to get to the center before the far right and the far left go at it. ALLEY: Thank you, Senator Wyden. Well, we certainly are seeing, in fact, anecdotally, we're seeing a significant increase in the number of -- of valid stolen IDs in Indiana, with Anthem being based in Indiana. So, we already are seeing the impact of that. I think, you know, many of the steps that -- that they are taking, that the corporations all across the country are having to take, is to -- to do it -- do more multifaceted authentication in terms of accessing their systems. And I think many companies have not invested adequately to -- to provide -- to prepare themselves for that and allow themselves to be vulnerable. So, I think that's one key thing that -- that corporate America, and all of us, even at the -- at the governmental level, need to focus on. In terms of what we can do as a group, I think it goes back to that three legged stool I spoke about earlier, and it's making sure that we are sharing those information elements more readily and more -- more rapidly. As -- as Commissioner Valentine indicated, often times we do get a great deal of information that we share with one another, but it is not on a timely basis. I would also really like to see the IRS take a -- a greater leadership role in terms of driving many of the standards or expectations. You know, we have, you know, 50 states and -- and many of them do have taxing mechanisms, the departments of revenue, all doing disparate things. And if we could have the IRS help us to -- to bring everybody together, to establish, you know, a -- a -- a coordinated, collaborated set of standards that -- of expectations from our software vendors, from financial institutions as well, too, I think that could be a -- a great deal in -- in bringing everybody together on a -- on the same platform. WYDEN: My -- my time is up.That sounds too logical, so we'll have to -- we'll have to pursue it. Thank you.HATCH: Senator Thune.THUNE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you and for Ranking Member Wyden for holding this important hearing, and thank you for panelists for being here and their willingness to testify. I think every tax payer out to feel confident, knowing that their personal tax information is secure when they file it with the IRS, and there won't be a false return fraudulently filed in their name. I think we all know and have seen the devastating impact that tax related identity theft could have on a family's financial well-being. So, I appreciate the committee's interest in the subject, and hope we're able to move legislation forward in Congress. One measure for preventing tax related identity theft that's been recommended by a number of commentators is for the IRS to verify information from third parties, such as the Social Security Administration. And I'm wondering, what your thoughts are about how much fraud that would prevent, and are there any potential downsides to that approach? And I would just throw that open to anybody who'd like to comment on that. Mr. Camus? CAMUS: Sir, thank you. Our -- our auditors look at that on a regular basis and they're -- they're in the middle of doing some audit work right now. But generally speaking, and -- and Mr. Valentine pointed it out, the fact that the IRS doesn't have in its automated system a W-2, for example, to match at the same time the tax payer files their return, that -- that creates -- that -- that inhibits their ability to do a very simple validity check before issuing a refund. And there's a great expectation to get the tax payers their refund as soon as possible, because, after all, it is the a tax payer's money. So, anything that we can do to increase the timeliness, or -- or to get the time that a tax payer can -- start filing their return, which this year it was January 20th, to jive with the time the Social Security Administration has the W-2 information, which really isn't due until March 31st, I think that would be a lot of help.THUNE: OK. Anybody else on that subject, or is that -- any downsides to that approach? VALENTINE: I'm not aware of the downsides other than the fact that there'd be more information being transferred and places for it to be leaked out, but there's actually three points that can really effect the fraud issues, and one is on the front end, which is the authentication issues, which is what you're speaking of.The next one is on the discovery phase, which is those -- transfer of information that occur back and forth between the various different tax agencies. And the third one is the method that you pay, and that's why the comments that I made, it really tried to effect all three of those.Any one of those is helpful, but to approach it, you need to approach, I think, in all three areas, because if you do that, then you can really have a better change of actually cutting the -- the frauds down.THUNE: OK, thank you.It's been a number of years since Congress enacted a tax payer's bill of rights. When a tax payer has a fraudulent return filed in his name, is the recourse with the IRS efficient?CAMUS: Again, our audit staff looks at that, how the -- what the victim experience is like when they contact the Internal Revenue Service, what type of service they get and what the IRS does to help the tax payer victim. And we're continuing to look at that and audit and recommend changes or improvements in that program.THUNE: And, I was going to say, are there additional measures that ought to be considered to make it easier for individuals who find themselves in that situation, to get the assistance that they need?CAMUS: Of -- of course it's a very traumatic issue for the victim. Anytime anybody's identity has been compromised, they are very, very upset. Again, I'm not ready to comment on where we're at, what they're doing, but I do understand from our auditors that there's been improvement and they continue to work and -- and look to make that experience better for the victim.VALENTINE: Senator, I can tell you from the state of Utah, we have a tax payers services division which focuses exactly on the issue that you're raising, and that is, OK, someone claims that they've got a fraudulent return, they got to have a way to be able to process it quickly without having to go through the whole state bureaucracy.We've done that with our tax payer services division in a quiz letter that we send out to be able to authenticate that the person who is calling us is in fact the right person. That kind of thing may be something that the service could consider, as well. Really have a way to ex -- expedite a particular complaint of identity theft.THUNE: Just, very quickly, there have been recent breaches involving Turbo Tax that have made national -- national news. Are there reasons why Turbo Tax has experienced this, but other electronic providers of tax service haven't? How -- how preventable is this? ALLEY: I'm not sure that -- that others have not also been impacted. I think it has perhaps we've -- we've realized and directly identified the particular breaches that -- that occurred with the -- the one vendor which, you know, I -- they have taken additional steps to try to mitigate. But I think we're finding in Indiana that -- that it's not just them that have been impacted by this, but I think the fraudsters are moving, I mean, they move very -- with agility.And as they -- as they impact one and they have success, and those doors close, then they readily move to another open door. So, I think it is -- is a systemic issue, and -- and really broad across the entire industry, not limited to any particular vendor or party.THUNE: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you all very much.HATCH: Senator Warner.WARNER: Oh, thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thank you for holding this hearing. We all have stories of our constituents. We had the same kind of stories in Virginia. Mr. Chairman, one of the things I think that we could do -- come to my attention, Senator Ron Johnson and I have got some legislation on this, the IRS currently interprets the law, saying that they don't believe that if they find out that you have been the victim of identity fraud, they don't even tell you as a -- as a citizen that you're the victim of that fraud.They don't notify the law enforcement, so the notion that whether -- I believe they could do it administratively, we've written them, perhaps you and the ranking member might write -- writing them might shake them up a little bit more, but if we can't get a -- if administratively one step that we could take would be making sure that the IRS is actually a partner in this effort in identification when they -- when it comes to their attention that somebody's been the victim of -- identity theft, that we notify them.We notify the victim, and law enforcement. I -- I think we see some nods from the panel there. And -- and, again, the numbers are huge, as you pointed out in your testimony, 5.8 billion in -- in 2013.WARNER: A second item that I think that we ought to consider -- and this is something I've been working on the Banking Committee -- I know Senator Carper walked in briefly and -- but some level of mandatory data breach reporting.And we now have -- it is a very gray and developing area. When, particularly on the retail side, they've got a data breach -- we've seen -- we've seen countless indications of data breach. But there is no obligation. There is no standard yet about when a company needs to report this information. And I think there needs to be such a standard.And one of the things we've heard from the Banking Committee side is that, you know, this is an area where there's a lot of finger- pointing between the retail sector and the bank -- and the financial sector.And rather than creating another interchange battle, trying to have the -- the financial sector and the retail sector actually collaborate better -- and again, I am going to get to question here -- you know, it would seem to me, as well -- and one thing that I'd like the panel's comments on, is that, you know, is there not a way, either through the IRS or in collaboration with the private providers -- you know, the Turbotaxes -- I agree with the panel's comments that this is just not a Turbotax problem.This is not something that can be simply solved by governmental entities. We need the private sector, who's got a very vibrant businesses all (ph).Why haven't we created a single, easy-to-use portal so that when Mrs. Smith or the lady who was -- the story on Utah, there's a single place where you can at least check that -- whether this is a real claim or not? I mean, do you all want to speak to that notion of how we do a better job of consumer education, and why we haven't had the IRS more active in having perhaps in collaboration with state tax departments and others, an easy-to-find find site? And frankly, what would be the responsibility, as well, of the private sector providers, the Turbotaxes and others, to collaborate with that one single portal?VALENTINE: With the remaining time left, there's two issues that you really raise, and one is the notification issue, and the second one is how does the taxpayer easily check to see if their return's been filed.Utah actually tried to identify both of those issues by having a real-time notification that, We believe your return has been hacked, or that your return has been filed. We actually tell them. We don't...(CROSSTALK)VALENTINE: We don't have the impediments that the IRS has, OK, on that regard.The second one is that we have an easy system now for taxpayers to check whether a return has been filed or not. We call it our TAP (ph) system. You go to our Tax Commission Web site, you fill out the authentication issues. Once you've done that, you can determine whether your return has been filed.And so we have been doing public service announcements saying, Please check to see if your return's been filed. If your return's been filed and you haven't filed it, here's the number to call.WARNER: But wouldn't it be potentially better to have some national education process here, since, again, the disproportionate amount of the fraud is taking place at the federal level, rather than the state level?VALENTINE: I would agree.WARNER: Commissioner, do you want to...CAMUS: Yes, I would agree, as well, too. It's just a matter of finding the resources and the funding and -- and the -- and getting all the players collaborating with one another, you know, at the same time. But I think it represents an ideal scenario that should be played out and we need to strive toward that. We just got to get it started and got to have the leadership.WARNER: I know my time's up, Mr. Chairman, but I would simply say that when we're looking at $5.8 billion in fraud -- The Washington Post says this year, we've seen a 37-fold, 37 times increase in potentially fraudulent claims -- the ability to have a little bit of resources to have that common site, number one. And two, either by administrative change or legislative change, making sure the IRS actually informs people when they know they've been the victim of identity theft I think would be steps in the right direction. Thank you.HATCH: Well, thank you so much, Senator.I might add that Senator Grassley is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and he asked that I would ask this question of you, Mr. Camus, and then we'll turn to one of the other senators.On behalf of Senator Grassley, the treasury inspector general for tax administration, or TIGTA, has detailed how the IRS needs to do more to reduce improper payments for Earned Income Tax Credit and the child tax credit. For 2013, about $14.5 billion in improper EITC payments were made, and between $5.9 billion and $7.1 billion for the child tax credit. Both of these credits pay cash benefits for exceeding any tax paid, making them a prime target for anyone looking to engage in tax scams or ID fraud. At the same time, the rules governing how these credits -- the rules governing both these credits are complex, opening them to innocent human error.So the question is this, Mr. Camus. In your opinion, what amount of improper payments would you attribute to fraud versus innocent taxpayer error? And do you suspect that at least a significant amount of improper payments are the result of fraud?CAMUS: Well, it's clear that the fraudsters, as we pointed out today, look for any opportunity whatsoever to get at money, and they're ruthless in their attempts. The fact that they would use credits that are legally available to folks filing tax returns is not a foreign concept. I just don't have that information available. But I'd be happy to meet with my audit staff and try to get a response to Senator Grassley.HATCH: If you would, I'd like to have that response, as well.CAMUS: Yes, sir.HATCH: Well, thank you.Senator Isakson.ISAKSON: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Wyden. I appreciate the opportunity.Ms. Klem, last week I returned home to Atlanta from a week in Washington. And when I walked in the back door, my wife, whose name, by the way, is Diane (ph), said, You need to listen to the voicemail I saved from the telephone this week. It was precisely the call you talked about, where a woman with a very convincing voice informed me the IRS has determined I owed them a substantial amount of money and to call 202 number as quickly as I can or they'd file suit next week.Of course, being a member of this committee, I realized that probably wasn't true, but the next morning, ironically, I was doing an free file event with the director of the IRS in the Atlanta region and gave him the telephone number to follow up on. He told me when I gave him that number, he said, Well, this can't be real because we do not make any solicitation by telephone. Every one's in the mail.And I thought to myself, I should know that, but the American public ought to know that, as well. So it would seem like that there would be more ombudsmanship on behalf of the IRS, and maybe even the IG or the treasury, to let taxpayers know that there are no solicitations by phone. They're all done by -- or not solicitation, but enforcement, they're all done by mail because that is a real problem, and it was a very convincing phone call.KLEM: Yes. Thank you, Senator. It is very common and it's very upsetting when that call comes in. And that's precisely why this scam is so successful. We do have partnerships on a local level with our counterparts at FTC, the IRS, and others, and we do share information, like this infographic that's in front of me right now, which is a really great infographic -- happy to share it with the committee -- about the IRS impostor scams. It says, "Warning signs. How will the IRS first contact you? By phone? No. E-mail? No. By mail? Yes."It's very clear to see, but this is not widely disseminated. And so we need to do a better job of getting that into the hands of the general public.ISAKSON: Well, that's the point that I wanted to make. If chairman -- the chairman would listen, or Ron Wyden would listen for a second, I want to make a point.One of our problems is we don't have a game plan or a point man to get the consumer information out there, and that's been said by a number of you. We have a department that was created by the administration called the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, which is in the business of protecting consumers.It would seem like that Secretary of Treasury Lew would contact Richard Cordray, and this would be a perfect way for them to take their investigatory and solicitation arm that tries to save -- help people who are victims of business fraud to protect them from tax fraud, as well. And I think that's something that Treasury could do.CAMUS: Yes, sir, Mr. Isakson. As a matter of fact, we have touched base with the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, and so we're going to include them. The majority of our focus has really been with the Federal Trade Commission and the IRS. The IRS has been putting out YouTubes, and I myself have been interviewed on it.I will take any television interview that is put in front of me, not because I'm a ham, but because I believe in my heart that if we protect one taxpayer from having these horrific stories. that is a good day for us.And I am so happy about this hearing because I'm hoping that this will also help get the word out that when you get those calls, please hang up the telephone.But I really appreciate it, and we are trying to work with that bureau.ISAKSON: I hope Director Cordray will be as aggressive on protecting people from tax fraud as he is from other frauds in society.Ms. Ciraolo, I represent Georgia where Fort Benning is located. I noticed in your testimony that a member of the medical team at Fort Benning stole the information and identification of a number of soldiers at Fort Benning and tax fraud was perpetrated against them.Did you coordinate with the Department of Defense once that was determined to try and get the word out to DOD that they need to watch out for those that would take advantage of their position with the government to steal the identity of our soldiers? CIRAOLO: (OFF-MIKE) I joined the department...(UNKNOWN): (OFF-MIKE)CIRAOLO: Yes. OK.Senator Isakson, thank you for the question. I joined the department two months ago, so I was not involved in those types of discussions. I don't have that information with me today, but I can certainly report back on what efforts were made with the Department of Defense. We certainly take seriously any allegations and efforts by senators to commit these offenses, and we're particularly focused on the vulnerable victims of our society, including our military members.ISAKSON: Well, as chairman of the Veterans Committee, I'm going to take the initiative to do the same thing, too. So if you would do that with DOD leadership, I'll do it with Veterans leadership, as well.CIRAOLO: Of course.ISAKSON: My last point is this. Each of the state directors made a comment about information sharing, if I'm not mistaken, and that would be a key to stopping this. One of the problems that exists is the United States Senate and House have not done a cyber-security bill. In the pending bill that we hope will be before us soon, there are provisions for idea sharing and exemptions from the anti-trust laws that protect (ph) so information can flow to the government to enforce against tax fraud and things of that nature that are used by cyber-security.So I would hope we'll get the message that we're part of the problem. We need to -- our cyber laws are way out of date with our cyber criminals, and the quicker we in Congress act on that legislation, the more taxpayers will be saved from fraud. And that's my only editorial comment.HATCH: Well, thank you, Senator.Senator Casey, you're next.CASEY: Mr. Chairman, thanks very much, and I appreciate the hearing. I want to thank the witnesses for your testimony, your presence and your commitment to stopping this crime.I'm struck by what I've seen in Pennsylvania. I'm sure this is -- could be replicated in many states, but I'm just looking at a small sampling of headlines. This is from a television station in Eerie, way up in the northwest corner of our state. The name of the -- the title of the news article about which they have -- reporting was, quote, "IRS phone scams ramp up in Eerie." Then we go to the other end of the state, literally, the Lehigh Valley over by the -- the eastern border of our state -- "IRS scam widespread in Pennsylvania reported in Lehigh Valley."And then in my home area of northeastern Pennsylvania, "IRS Phone Scam Reaching More in Northeastern Pennsylvania," so a lot of what you've heard and a lot of what you've had direct experience with trying to stop.I guess I'd start with Assistant Attorney General Ciraolo, a particular question about your assessment of kind of where we are in light of what I've seen and I'm sure others have. I was in Berks County, which is in the eastern side of our state, a number of months ago with the district attorney, John Adams (ph). And Adams kind of walked me through some of the basic challenges from a prosecutorial standpoint.He emphasized, among other things, that the perpetrators were, first, highly organized, number two, often reside in jurisdictions far away from the victims and also beyond the reach of local authorities. And he even pointed to, as you've all seen, I'm sure, perpetrators residing in foreign countries. So that's among the many challenges that much of your testimonies pointed to.I don't want to be pessimistic because I do want to get to your -- the part of your testimony where you talk about what's been happening with the Justice Department and some of the success you've had, but there's a -- I think a sense because of the scope and gravity of the problem that we're not winning.And I want to just, from a national perspective, ask you how would you assess the war or the battle?CIRAOLO: Thank you, Senator Casey. The Tax Division has a dual role in these matters. We prosecute the offenders. And in doing so, we hope to change the calculus for would-be offenders with the substantial sentences that we're receiving. And we are receiving substantial and increasing sentences.In addition, we share information we obtain from these cases in real-time with the IRS, who, it's our understanding, is working very hard to improve its filters to better identify fraudulent returns and to prevent the issuance of fraudulent refunds.So that's the Tax Division's role. These cases certainly present unique challenges, and we will continue to devote our available resources in this area.CASEY: And I guess I'd ask, starting with -- with you and going down, your colleagues in Treasury and others -- and I know much of what you might say in a short answer has to be short because of the time -- but -- is already embedded in your testimony -- but if you had to -- had to itemize one or two or three actions items that we could work on, resources or other tools that you need to do your job -- and I'm sure others who -- who may not be in the federal government, but -- but play a role in this -- what do you hope we would do by way of authority, or authorization, or by way of appropriation?CIRAOLO: Senator, I think that holding hearings like we're having today are critical to getting the word out to the American public. Our elected representatives taking the message back to their home states and making sure the information is out there as often and as loud as possible.Many of these scams can be stopped if the American public is educated. And having a centralized location for that information, I think, is a wonderful idea. I am very happy to see the representatives here on the panel from across the country. It gives me hope that we will see further information in the future.CASEY: Thank you.Maybe ask each of the remaining witnesses to do a 15 second what should Congress do.CAMUS: I echo what my colleague said. From a -- from a standard law enforcement point of view, the -- the scam is so simple. We'll never be able to prevent somebody from picking up the phone, claiming to be another person, and demanding money. It's public awareness at the top of it, because when the money dries up, the criminals will go away. But getting our hands on them and bringing them to justice in the historic way is one of the things we want to do, because we want people to pay for this.But it's not a solution to the crime. It's people hanging up the telephone and not being victimized.ALLEY: The -- the criminals are going to continue to be agile, so as we close one hole, they'll open a new one, but I think the greatest thing we can do is to ensure and require a greater collaboration among all of the groups, and -- as well as provide some funding to ensure that that collaboration can take place.CASEY: (inaudible) thank you. VALENTINE: What I'll comment is that you still have to be able to cut off the vector that is used to be able to receive the money, and I think the identification of it is something Congress can require the financial industry to do, to say, you know what, we just have to know that this series is going to be a prepaid debit card. We won't refund it that way. We'll refund it by a -- award (ph) by a check at that point.CASEY: Thank you.CIRAOLO: And, Senator, I would echo the comments about education and raising awareness around the issue. I travel the state every day and speak to mostly older adults about this fraud, and it is just devastating to hear their stories. And frequently, after they've shared them with me, they say, gosh, I wish I had talked to you last week. So, if we can get more awareness, more education, more media spotlight, that would be great.CASEY: Thank you very much.Thank you, Mr. Chairman.HATCH: Senator Cantwell, you're -- you're next.CANTWELL: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I'd like to join my colleagues who have been bringing up these issues about identity theft and fraud, but specifically to point out that the 111th Congress increased the IRS's responsibility while decreasing the funding.So, the IRS is now responsible for implementing the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and the programs in effect for calendar year 2015. So,in addition to the additional legal required task law makers will have, the IRS is being urged here, which we really want you to do, to combat identity theft, reduce errors in federal tax programs, and generally reduced tax fraud. So, I just think we need to take this into consideration as it relates to the budget this year and make sure that the resources are there to do this.I am concerned that tax payers will, ultimately -- we need to get a handle on what's been happening with identity theft. It was found that 22 percent of the identity theft cases, the IRS closed without taking the appropriate steps to fully resolve the victim's account. So, examples include victims not receiving refunds, or IRS failing to update the victim's address to receive an identity protection personal identification number.So, during F.Y. 2014, nearly 270,000 identity theft returns of this type were closed. So, if the -- that reported rate, 22 percent, is accurate, about 6,000 tax payers were burdened by having their cases closed in a premature fashion. so, what do we need to do to fix that?CAMUS: That's -- that's a job that would fit in our audit staff's portfolio. When they look and see how the IRS is -- is doing with their identity theft program, one of the things I always look at is the victim interface and how the IRS are processing -- how the IRS is processing the victim claims and the -- and the correspondence.And I know that the auditors are doing work in that area as we speak.CANTWELL: Well -- but we will have this resolved for this tax season so we're not -- we're not prematurely closing cases?CAMUS: Unfortunately, it's always in -- in hindsight, so the rear view mirror that the audit team looks at the work that was done and their particular filing year because they need to wait until the cases are closed before they can look back and see how they were handled. So, I will share -- I will share the sentiment.CANTWELL: Anybody else? Mr. Alley or anybody else have any thoughts about this? But it seems, I mean, it seems -- why would -- we need to do something better than to have these tax payers affected this way.ALLEY: I agree. I mean, it creates a tremendous amount of anxiety among the taxpayers. I mean, one of the things we also have, you know, tax payer administration services to -- to work with our tax payers that have been compromised with their identities to -- to ensure that they receive, you know, the comfort and knowledge that the -- that their return has been properly reflected in their account, properly accounted for.We need to do the same thing at all levels.CANTWELL: Well, Mr. Chairman, I know that practically every committee has been asked to address the ideas of cyber-security and move forward. And I think our committee should certainly look at this particular aspect of making sure that our tax filers are also secure, as well. So, thank you. Take you, Mr. Chairman.HATCH: Thank you, Senator Cantwell.Senator Wyden has another...WYDEN: Thank -- thank you, Mr. Chairman.I just didn't want to wrap up without giving you a chance, Ms. Klem, to talk about seniors, because I think we know how outrageous it is that seniors get ripped off this way. I mean, we've got millions of older people in this country who are walking an economic tightrope every single day.They balance their food bill against their fuel bill, their fuel bill against housing costs. They get ripped off this way, and it's not some abstraction. They really suffer.So, as we wrap up, and I just wanted to finish with -- with this, what else do you think this committee can do to help beef up the fight to protect seniors from these kind of ripoffs?KLEM: Senator Wyden, that's a great question. It is true that this particular impostor scam disproportionately affects vulnerable adults, especially older adults. They're home during the day. They answer their phones. And that's because they grew up in a time where they were taught that it's rude not to answer the phone and listen to the caller on the other end.So, I think some of the suggestions we've heard today are wonderful, but I'm going to keep beating the drum of education and awareness. I think that that is really key. I think if we can let people know that this is a notoriously awful scam, and that they should be alert to it, and it's not rude to hang up the phone in this particular case, I think that's a wonderful educational tool for people, especially older adults.It's very tough. I talk to them every day, and it's going to be a struggle, but I think the more information and awareness we can get out there, the better. I always tell people who come to my presentations or call me on the phone to share their stories with one or two other people, because I think that -- that personal story, that personal touch from somebody who maybe got that phone call and almost fell victim, or did fall victim, letting others know is important.WYDEN: Thanks for the good work you're doing.Thank you, Mr. Chairman.HATCH: Thank you, Senator.Senator Menendez?MENENDEZ: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And to all of our witnesses, thank you for your testimony.As many have noted, identity theft and tax schemes are one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States. Not only do the victims, who are disproportionately low income and vulnerable populations lose millions of dollars to these schemes each year, they're also subject, as Mr. Ciraolo noted in her testimony, months, if not years, of overwhelming paperwork, credit problems, and inconvenience.One constituent of mine, who I'll just refer to as Sandra, experienced this nightmare firsthand. She contacted my office in March of 2013 to request help in order to restore her identity which had been stolen in 2010. She didn't receive her tax refunds for 2010, 2011, 2012, was getting nowhere with the IRS over fixing the situation.Finally, after an additional two years, two years of working with her, the IRS, and the Tax Payer Advocates Office, we were finally able to resolve the situation earlier this year -- this year.So, Mr. Camus, is the IRS, by the way, that's -- your name is one of my favorite ones -- but, so, is the IRS doing enough to resolve cases of identity theft in a timely manner? Is a four to five year waiting period that Sandra experienced acceptable in your view?CAMUS: In my personal view, no, because I'm a criminal investigator and I know how horrific that type of an experience is for an individual. But I can tell based on the audit work that I've read done by my agency that the IRS has made great strides in trying to be better, faster, and more responsive to the victims.One of the things that they put in place was a -- a identity theft victim pin. In the future years, when the -- when the tax payer files, they use that pin number, and that helps validate their identity. I understand they're not always 100 percent on that either, but my observation, from reading the audit reports that my staff -- that the audit staff has done, is that they are making great strides and they're endeavoring to improve.MENENDEZ: What would you say is the status now of somebody who finds themselves in a situation like senator? What would they reasonably expect to be the period of time that their issue will be resolved?CAMUS: My understanding is that it would be much better than it was in 2010, 2011, and 2012. But whether or not it's up to par...MENENDEZ: Four to five years, was that her experience, so better is a relative question. What -- what you say is -- is -- what's the average? A year? A few years?CAMUS: Yes, sir. I -- I wish I had that information available, but I do not.MENENDEZ: OK. Well, I'd love to get it from the IRS at the end of the day.Let me ask this. Commissioner Considen (ph) testified before this committee in February about the issue of unscrupulous tax preparers. In responding to a question I raised, he said, and I quote, "the IRS is very concerned about unscrupulous taxpayers," close quote. And that there's, quote, "a percentage that are crooks, and then there are ones who are a major part of the problem of fraud across the board."Now, I know the IRS tried to regulate paid taxpayers a few years ago and was rebuffed by the D.C. circuit court of appeals which argued Congress has not explicitly authorized such legislation. I personally find it exceedingly strange and inappropriate that many states require hair barbers to have a license, but someone filing very complicated tax returns do not need a license.So, Mr. Camus, how critical is it for the IRS to be able to regulate tax preparers, and would doing so reduce the amount of fraud and identity theft?CAMUS: I think -- I think it's critically important that anybody that does such an important job in such an important area such as tax administration, that there -- there's training available and they're held accountable, and there are standards that have to be met.I know we work closely with our -- our partners in the IRS criminal investigation and the Department of Justice tax division when we come across an unscrupulous tax preparer to bring them to justice. I think it's critically important that those individuals who elderly folks and other people trust and depend on to file very complicated forms because they don't understand, that they don't become victimized by the very people that they trust.MENENDEZ: Well, let me ask you this. Can you -- you or Ms. Ciraolo, is that the -- correct pronunciation?CIRAOLO: Yes, Senator. Thank you.MENENDEZ: OK. Can you quantify for me in any way how much fraud is related to unscrupulous tax preparers?CIRAOLO: Senator, we share your concerns with respect to fraudulent tax preparers and believe that the U.S. tax payers who engage a preparer should be able to trust that person to be competent and qualified to prepare the returns and to prepare an honest and accurate return.In the last year alone, the tax division has obtained injunctions against more than 40 fraudulent preparers and promoters and will continue to prosecute those individuals who willfully assist in the preparation of filling the returns.MENENDEZ: So, do happen to have any idea how many tax preparers there are -- Final question, Mr. Chairman. How many tax preparers there are?CIRAOLO: Senator, I don't have that information in front of me today.MENENDEZ: Is that based on complaint, or is that based on the -- the 40 that you -- it sounds like a small number compared to the universe of preparers that I would assume that are out there. So, was that based on complaints, or is that based on the services own investigations?CIRAOLO: The -- the tax division works with the Internal Revenue Service in identifying fraudulent preparers, and we -- based on the evidence that we receive, we follow that evidence where it leads and pursue injunctions where appropriate against preparers.MENENDEZ: Do you have a number of complaints filed with you?CIRAOLO: I can tell you that since 2000, we've filed over 500 injunctions against fraudulent preparers.MENENDEZ: All right, thank you, Mr. Chairman.HATCH: Well, thank you, Senator.I want to thank all of our witnesses for appearing here today. I also want to thank all of the senators who participated. I think this has been a very good hearing, and hopefully we can move on from here.Any questions for the record should be submitted no later than Thursday, March 19th, so, this -- this hearing will be adjourned at this point.Thanks so much. And thanks to all of you. We really appreciate it.I'd like to come down and say hello to all of you.

LT GENERAL TODD SEMONITE HOLDS PENTAGON BRIEFING

1330 PENTAGON BRIEFING POOL FS22 72Army Lt. Gen. Todd T. Semonite News Conference on Army Corps of Engineers' Support to the Defense Department's COVID-19 EffortsLieutenant General Todd T. Semonite, Commander, Army Corps of EngineersSTAFF: (Inaudible) today General Semonite from Army Corps of Engineers to talk about their response to COVID. I'm Army Colonel (inaudible) on the record. We'll take questions from the phone, one question in the room and we got about 20 -- 20 minutes. All right. General Semonite? LIEUTENANT GENERAL TODD T. GEN. SEMONITE: Listen, I want to thank you all for coming today and for those on the -- and I'll look forward to answering questions. I'm not going to a lot of detail what the concept of or what our plan is. Most of you have heard this. I do want to reiterate though that when we got this call about two weeks to go to help the Governor of New York, we went up with what we call a standard design. And I have said several times this is an unbelievably complicated scenario here. We need a very, very simple solution. So the standard design was basically vetted through FEMA -- we are working for FEMA here -- but also vetted through HHS. And then as we continue to be able to support state governors and local city mayors to be able to site-adapt a standard design to be able to apply to both COVID cases and non-COVID cases. And as you remember, the concept was many of our facilities were going to be small room, which is hotel or like college dormitory, or larger facilities, which would be more like a field house or perhaps a convention center. The only reason I bring that up is that anytime you have any type of a AUDIO BEGINSstandard design, we want to continue to learn. And I've been on the ground in the last couple days to New York City, to Chicago and Detroit, and we have continued to see where our engineers who are actually doing this construction are being pretty innovative of how do we site-adapt that standard design to even give more capability back out to the great doctors and nurses who are going to be taking care of these patients out there. And so I think that's the main thing we want is to continue to be learning here, and then as we continue to think about how would we apply a design to a installation or a city we've not actually built out yet, how do we wrap those lessons learned back in. So I think that's the -- the main thought that we wanted to try to convey. I was here, I think, last Friday afternoon and you asked me how many requests for site assessments have we actually received, and the number was 114 last Friday afternoon. Today's number is 750 requests for site assessments, and we've actually completed 673. And I want to reassure every community, whether a large city or a small town, if your mayor or your governor needs to be able to have the Corps of Engineers come in to be able to do an assessment of a site, we have the depth and the capacity to be able to do that. So we are not resource-constrained right now, we want to stay ahead of this. And the reason we want to do the site assessment is we might get a building nominated to say this would be a great facility, but if we go into the mechanical room and it has a hard time producing enough heat or we have a -- some type of a hazardous issue in there, the last thing we want to do is to inherit a building that's got problems. So we're trying to kind of put our approval on it, first of all, before we do a lot of investments back in there. I want to show you just a couple products and we're going to continue to post these to our website at a relatively consistent time. I think we're going to do this around 11 o'clock every morning. The first one I want to show you is what we would call an infographic, and it is the Corps of Engineers. And again I want to reiterate, we are working -- we're obviously a DOD capability, but we are working under FEMA mission assignments. And I'm certainly not going to go through this, but these talks about how many different stadiums, how many different COVID beds we're going to have. And I'm going to kind of walk you through those numbers today. But anytime you want to see, this will change every 24 hours and we will continue to be able to give you assessments on what we're doing out in the field. I think the other thing that I want to stress is the criticality of what the White House, the administration, and the Secretary of Defense are putting on our mission. I get phone calls from senior leaders consistently throughout the day to say what else can we do to be able to help set the Corps of Engineers up for success, and we certainly appreciate that. But our ability to have a lot of authority and the ability to go down and work where the local mayors and governors allows us to really get this job done. And then again, the nice thing is our ability to completely decentralize this down to the colonel on the ground to be able to execute following the overall intent and the specifications, but to be able to site-adapt it, it's a big deal. The other thing I want to stress is that in the last week or so we've done a lot more on modeling, and so now we're taking several of the different models that's coming out of the Vice President's task force. And many of those models are really looking at the -- the slope of people that are getting the virus. We are putting these against two variables. We're looking at the slope and we're really looking for exponential or a higher rate of growth in the national norm, but we're also looking at bed shortages. We have some unbelievable data right now from every single state. We can click on a state and we can understand what are the bed requirements, what are the beds available, and then have some degree of an understanding. And this is arrayed along when we think the max curve is going to be for a given city. So City X right now, we might know that the 24th of April is when we're going to have a max requirement. We can see the delta, and that's why as we sit down to the city and the -- and the cities and the -- and the governors, we're able to understand their plan because this is a state and city plan. It is a federal supporting effort to be able to augment, but it really goes back to supporting state and local governors. I want to go to a new chart you've never seen, and this is kind of the rollup and I'm just going to kind of walk you through this. And I don't expect you to read this on TV, but I'll basically just walk through how this looks. We want you to understand where we actually have active contracts, so the category of this green in here and I'll just reflect over to the -- where it says "Awarded." These are awarded contracts where we already have a contractor in a convention center right now, and a couple of these I'm going to give you by example of the progress that's being done in there. We have eight facilities. There's actually nine different contracts, but two of them are in Javits, so eight facilities. The number today is 9,693 beds that we are creating for mayors and governors in these eight particular sites. This has been vetted through the governors and the mayors, and now we are very cautious not to get ahead of them. They have a lot of different pieces that they've got to work in these particular areas to walk through the mechanics of how they're going to roll this out. So there was a request a couple days ago to say "Show me your list of all 750." We're not going to do that. We clearly know to leave the mayor and the governor some decision space as to do they want to be able to execute COVID or non-COVID. And as you're probably aware on the last 24 hours, just with Javits alone, we have seen a scenario where some of these have actually changed. And the beauty of the plan that we have is agile enough that we can then come back in and either modify whether it's pressure in a facility, whether it's room configuration, we're able to stay ahead of that. I want to go to the second category, which is -- which is the orange category. This is primarily pending. These are contracts that were in the final negotiations with. We're writing the final paperwork. Perhaps the governor hasn't actually mentioned it publicly yet, and we're still working the contract scenarios. But basically, these are nine more facilities we're bringing in at about 5,039 beds. The yellow -- the white box in the bottom is another set that's just a little bit further behind. A good example, let's assume that a mayor says, "I'd like to have a facility within a mile of a hospital." That's kind of our criteria -- keep it as close as you can to a hospital. We find a great facility, but it's four miles away. The governor has to think through, "Do I want to do that or not?" So there's a whole bin. This is specifically 15 facilities, about 10,000 more beds that we're ready to start building if we get the thumbs up from the city mayor or the governor. So I just got to want you to understand this is iterative. Green are already awarded. Orange are the ones that we're actually getting ready to pull the trigger on, and then the white ones are those that are on deck and will continue to be brought in. There's a new category here of the blue, OK? And I want to be able to let you know, and again this is where the power of this idea is that the Corps of Engineers doesn't have to be the one that execute this. This is the entire federal team working together -- HHS, FEMA and us under President or Vice President Trump's direction -- I mean, Vice President Pence's direction here on the task force, but to be able to basically give a design over to a given city mayor and say, "We think that Hotel Number 3 is a great option for you. We think there's 100 beds that can go in there. Here's the specifications that we would recommend you use. You apply your city codes into it. Here's even a potential lease that you can actually -- a draft lease you can work with that hotel." And some of the states have opted to do this themselves. And that not only do take some of the workload off the Corps of Engineers, but today we're ready to announce that basically eight of these facilities have been based -- have been done by local mayors or city governors with a total of 5,600 beds. I want to make sure I condition this. There are many, many other arrangements that are done by local leaders that we are not tracking. If it's something where the city understands and they're cutting a contract with hotels, we don't track the entire domain of the problem. We're specifically asked where there's a requirement delta, we go in and we make the plan, we pass our plan that we designed, not only the specifications but the specific plan for that building over to that mayor and they build that out. The other thing we want to say today is for the contracts we have awarded, we're actually going to show you what I would call a "quad chart." And if you don't mind, can we bring up the quad chart for Detroit, so it's going to be relatively simple and you aren't going to be able to see this again on the screen, but you need to know that these are now uploaded and you can pull them down. It'll basically -- and I'm going to basically talk off of what's called the TCF Center in Detroit, Michigan. I just want to use this kind of as an example of how we would continue to go through and kind of show you what you're looking at here. So, obviously, how much money do we have? This particular one is $11.5 million, COVID or non-COVID. This one happens to be COVID. The amount of beds, about 1,000 beds. The upper right, you'll actually see our plan. And we have a lot more details you can click in and expand it, but you'll see where all the individual bed pods are, normally 10 or 15 beds surrounding a nurse's station. Then you'll see a nurse's station, then you'll see things like shower rooms, extra bathrooms, crash carts if they're needed. And then on every one of these facilities, there's normally an entry side where patients are coming in. So ambulances come in. They get processed into the facility, then they go into where that actual -- the patient area is. There's another one on the other side, which was being they were staffed. So think of it as kind of a -- you know, where people that are not affected could come in and be able to help support. And obviously, the affected people come from the other direction. And then we basically have a little bit of a heat map to kind of show when do we think the potential curve of that will be up. I think this one here we continue to -- we're working the anticipated peak, and then perhaps a picture or two of the work-in-progress. And I really want to brag a little bit on the leadership in Michigan here. I was with Governor Whitmer the other day with her leadership and just an unbelievably impressive team. The governor asked us to do this. We laid the design out. The governor then made the decision and then we went to FEMA who gave us the thumbs up. This particular one, again, is about a 10 by 10 area. It's got three hard walls with a curtain on it. And then inside this particular area, we bring in electricity for all the medical equipment. We've also got the ability to put in hot and cold water, also sewage to be able to drain anything out the sewer line. And this is one where the city of Detroit went above and beyond by saying, "We really want to have oxygen into that area right there with all those patient areas." In some of the other facilities oxygen comes in a tank and it's wheeled in and it's more of a portable oxygen. Here, the city asked us to design a manifold system where basically we're bringing all these hard pipes in in the ceiling and we're dropping oxygen down into every one of these particular pods so if that patient actually needs oxygen, there is certified oxygen to code right there in every single pod. So I guess one is we continue to talk to you in the next couple weeks here. I think right now what we've loaded up today is the nine quad charts for the nine facilities that we've got done. But we want to continue to kind of show you the different array. Every single site is custom-built. Every single site is built to the specifications of the -- of the medical plan that that mayor wants to use. And every single site is being done with a different type of a business case on who's the contractor, who provides all the rest of the support services. As I've said in the past, this is a three-legged stool, and I use the analogy of the three Ss. We need sites to be able to build these facilities. That's what the Corps of Engineers has worked in with the local officials. We need the supplies. That's another critical area and you're tracking this, but that is mainly going to be done by the local cities, the states, and HHS and FEMA. And then we need the staff, same thing. So today, if you ask me a lot of questions about supplies and staff, I would defer back to other agencies. Our job is to stay in our lane and work with the sites. So I think with that, Colonel, we'll pause right there and take whatever questions you have. STAFF: Thank you, Sir. Lita, we'll go to you first, Lita Baldor. Q: Hi. I'm going to pass to somebody else ask a question. Go ahead. STAFF: Thank you, Lita. Travis? Travis? Q: Hi, Sir. Thanks for doing this. This may be slightly out of your purview, I'm not sure, but I wanted to ask you about the pier-side testing for the Comfort in New York. The announcement this morning that there would be this new pier-side testing and it -- and it mentioned taking temperatures in a questionnaire, and I'm wondering if that is the extent of the screening or if there is some kind of quicker testing that's being done because, as you know, people can be asymptomatic. GEN. GEN. SEMONITE: Travis, I imagine that's a great question, we're working 750 facilities. I'm worried about the site piece. I would defer you back to another expert to be able to answer that question. And I'm sorry I don't have the answer, but that is not in my lane, over. Q: Thank you. STAFF: Tara? Q: Hi, General. Thank you so much for coming back to talk to us. I actually have a bunch of questions for you. So I'm at home and I'm looking at the Army Corps site with the -- the nine contracts that -- that you've listed. But I don't see, for example, the CenturyLink Center in Seattle where you guys are already -- work is already underway there. Is there a place on this website where we can see everything that is either being considered or underway? And then I have a couple other questions for you. GEN. SEMONITE: The CenturyLink is actually in the blue category that I talked about. This is where the state made a decision to be able to build this through another venue. They could either contract it or use their own laborers or perhaps their own venue so they made a decision to actually build this out themselves. So while we did the design, we basically -- in other words, how many hospital -- how many rooms go where, where are the nurses stations. We did the design for that, but we basically passed that over to the state. So it is not on our site. What we wanted to be aware of that there are some or we've done some work to be able to design it. It is not our intent to be able to roll out all the different locations that are in the orange category, the white category or the blue category, but it's something where clearly, if you have questions, I would go to that specific state and ask them questions on those sites. But we'll certainly, you know, be able to advise. I think there's only about seven or eight sites that were in the blue category -- eight facilities, but CenturyLink is in the blue category, over. Q: OK, thank you for that. Likewise last week you talked about the Sleep Train facility in Sacramento. Is that another blue? And just, in general ... GEN. SEMONITE: This is where the local officials ... Q: ... as ... GEN. SEMONITE: The city, you know, very easily can use our resources, but if they actually have perhaps a contractor in their local state that they want to use instead or they have certain workers they want to use, this is their prerogative. We are here to assist them. But Sleep Train is the same exact thing as CenturyLink. That is in the blue category where the state has made a decision to be able to build that out themselves. And -- and I'll be honest, these states are amazing at being able to do it. Same thing, the city mayors, the leadership down in some of these large convention centers and the engineers down there are just as good as ours. They do amazing work. And wherever I can take our Corps of Engineers and put them on facilities that might not have that depth in another city, it just allows us to spread the workload, Tara. Q: OK, thank you. And then finally, last week when you were talking to us you've mentioned that you would hit Chicago and probably Washington State next where you saw other hotspots. But I know Washington State fell off your schedule. Is that because you guys see the curve flattening out there and there may not be a need or do you still intend to get out there? There are still sites there that you are assessing. GEN. SEMONITE: I actually tried to use my schedule to go to where perhaps leadership on the ground can either help resolve any issues or just if nothing else continue to reinforce success. I was in Chicago and Detroit this week because those are the two biggest things that I wanted to personally see. And I was very, very impressed by both Governor Pritzker's team and Governor Whitmer's team, and so I feel very, very comfortable with those two cities. Still a lot of challenges, but I think that we've at least got those two facilities up. Because Washington and CenturyLink primarily went on their own to be able to do that the specific facility, I have diverted my -- my focus. And it is premature to say where I'm going next week, but in the back room, my staff is working two or three other cities to be able to go in probably Tuesday and Wednesday on one trip and Friday on another trip just to be able to see. And here's where I'm really concerned, if we know that the peak again is in three weeks and we know that we might need -- three weeks is 21 days. If we need 23 days to build a site, that means we're already two days too late. What I've asked my --my team to do is that if there's a decision that has to be made by a senior leader, we've got to be able to tell them, "You got to make that decision by next Monday morning. And if not, it's going to be a day for day slip." We are on such a tight time line, we can't condense this schedule anymore. So the biggest thing we want to do is to advise elected officials that this is when we've got to be able to snap the chalk line, give us the thumbs up. FEMA is exceptionally supportive here. There's been no delay whatsoever in us getting turned on, but it goes back to making sure that the local officials understand the timelines and to be able to set us on a path if they're going to choose to ask us to help before the need is identified, Tara. STAFF: Thanks, Tara. We'll go to Ryan in the room. Ryan? Q: Hello, General. Thanks. Ryan Browne, CNN. GEN. SEMONITE: Yes, Ryan? Q: A couple quick follow-ups for you, Sir. You mentioned that you have this kind of document layer or this data point laying out bed shortages and that's how you're kind of prioritizing your projects. Where are the next -- we've seen the list of eight, those -- those locations. Where are the next on that kind of list bed shortages, those critical points? What geographical locations are you looking at right now? GEN. SEMONITE: So -- and I think a lot of these, I'm taking my lead off of things that the Vice President's team said in the last couple of days. I mean, these are the real medical experts, so we're looking very hard at that. I personally am worried about Florida, OK, only because if there is -- obviously, there's an age issue here to a degree. And I know the leadership of Florida is engaged. My Colonel in Florida is talking to the leadership of Florida. We have a couple nominated sites that we're looking at. Premature to say where they are. But I think Florida is almost in a realm -- a different realm to a degree only because it's a little bit different than perhaps a standard population. There's a lot of great work being done in New Jersey right now. I think that's relatively on track, but we're continuing to work. I think right now that on the ones that are in the orange and the white, there's probably 12 to 14 states are in there. So this is not focused on a specific state, it's really focused. And the other thing we're seeing is that sometimes, these models are changing. There's actually an area where we -- there was two cities in one state about three days ago, and we thought the big problem is going to be in city number one. Today, it actually is in city number two. And it goes back to every single day our guys re-caulk the analytics and they come back and say, "Here is the threat." Now that doesn't mean we do anything different, we just go to the mayor and make sure the mayor understands your plan as of last week, is it still on track or not? And if we need to modify it, then we're more than willing to modify. That's what I said. This has got to be an agile plan. This virus gets a vote and it's trying to figure out, you know, how do they -- how does it continue to, you know, change over time. We've got to be smart enough to try to anticipate where that change is going to come and to be able to -- if nothing else -- have the appropriate amount of facilities there so that the site component is not the critical path. Q: And then I saw in the sheet of -- thank you for that -- on the sheet of projects. Javits said it was still listed as a non-COVID facility. Obviously, that's ... GEN. SEMONITE: It's just because my guys haven't changed the chart probably, OK? Q: So just -- so going forward, do you anticipate -- you know, we're seeing a lot of the original non-COVID projects being converted to COVID facilities. Are you going to -- do you think you're going to just do COVID facilities from here on out so you don't have to make that conversion down the road? Is that -- is that where you're kind of thinking now? GEN. SEMONITE: The -- the best option is go with what the mayor or the governor want. They all have different applications of this medical plan. If we are giving advice, and I had a great talk with Governor Pritzker the other night saying there was an advantage of you setting up, you know, your center COVID because if you go in these convention centers. again sometimes there's Hall A, B, C, D and you can subdivide all those out, you could theoretically have a convention center that maybe is only 25% COVID, 75% not or vice-versa. But then as the population changes in there, you could theoretically adapt and change those around. The modifications that we have to make are relatively minor, believe it or not. Inside the actual 10 by 10 POD, because most of these are almost COVID convalescence. that's what they're looking at, OK? These are not a lot of ventilators necessarily going into the COVID, this is perhaps, you know, the convalescent side. So where -- where pressure is probably the single biggest variable, there's a couple other pieces of equipment that we might need to put in there. But if we do get even a couple days to be able to modify it, I don't think that's going to be a critical issue of us having to convert. Your -- you've got a good point though. It's so much easier to design it the first time and go in, but we understand that things are going to change, and the last thing we want to do is be inflexible. We've got to be able to go with where the mayor wants to go. STAFF: Thank you, Sir. We're going to go to the phone lines again. Carla, Carla Babb? Q: Hey, General. Again, thank you so much for doing this. These briefings have been incredibly helpful. I have one question and one follow. And my question is specifically what did you do inside the Javits to transition it from something that was taking non-COVID patients to COVID patients? Can you tell us a little how you were able to bring the pressure down and isolate those -- those barriers a little more? GEN. SEMONITE: Yes, so I think we're still in the final throes of that. I did talk to my commander this morning up there. And part of this goes back to a degree of some of the equipment that is going to be changed by the Army Hospital that's there. They went in with a certain application of supplies. They have said there's some other things they need. I told you upfront that I don't get deep involved in the supply part, but I am aware that they have bring in some other equipment, either civilian equipment or some of their equipment, back in so they have more tools available to them to be able to handle the actual services provide for that particular patient. On the actual air pressure on it, right now we do not feel that we actually have to change the air pressure in Javits. Some of the different tolerances here are relatively minor, and some of it has to go back to how insulated some of these are. In other words, if you have a place that when you shut the doors, there's a pretty good vacuum and you don't have a lot of air being sucked in or out. If there's an area where you can actually walk in one door and then you have an area where you're kind of in an airlock, and before you go into the other door, there's not a lot of things we do there. So these real large convention centers have a great deal of utility. And as I was briefed a couple hours ago, we don't see any significant mechanical changes we need to make. If there are some, this is something as simple as a couple of technicians going to the -- to basically the HVAC room and to be able to make some modifications more on the controls, kind of like turning your thermostat in your house versus going in and re-plumbing an entire, you know, entire, you know, mechanical room. Q: Great, thank you. And then my follow to that question is so when were you able to realize about the -- the pressure and all of these details that you could have more of these massive convention centers be COVID? Was it when you were building the Chicago -- the McCormick Place Center? Can you give us more details on that? And then my follow about something that you said earlier today, you mentioned the 9,693 beds in these eight active facilities. Can you give us a breakdown on how many of those 9,693 are COVID and how many of those are non-COVID? Thank you. GEN. SEMONITE: OK. So on the -- when did we learn, we really got the Detroit and Chicago centers, you know, probably about a week ago. And I have to be honest with you, I was not convinced we could actually change the pressure in these large convention centers to a point that would actually achieve the desired results we're looking for. When I was in Detroit the other day with the governor talking into the mechanical engineers, they -- our guys and their guys have done a phenomenal job of some relatively minor changes, and so that really has, I think continued, to -- to show us that these are a viable alternative. So when we go in now, we're trying to make sure that leaders understand that I think COVID is an option certainly in the convention center model. There's another one, Carla, that we haven't necessarily done yet, but think about a field house without a great -- with a great big gigantic, you know, roof on. That -- it is not very easy to contain some of the airflow. So again, every single site we go to, we learn, we wrap that back into our analysis. But the convention center model, specifically Detroit and Chicago, convinced us that we are able to do what we need to do to be able to make that happen. And then tell me your last question again? Q: Thank you. My last question was on the -(CROSSTALK)sorry, thank you -- was on the 9,693 beds that are in the eight active facilities that you're building or that you've built, can you give us the breakdown on how many of those 9,693 are COVID and how many of those are non-COVID? GEN. SEMONITE: You've got the chart, but I do math in public. It looks like about 2,060 of those are non-COVID, and then you change the ones for Javits. So when you subtracted 2,060 from the 960, you're about 7,640, something like that. STAFF: All right. Our last question today, I'll go to Ellen on the line. Ellen? Q: Hi, sorry, I had to take myself off-mute. You actually just answered my question. Thank you, Sir. STAFF: All right. At this point, General, do you have any ... GEN. SEMONITE: So I would just say that we want to be as transparent as we can. I certainly appreciate your flexibility and understanding that this is evolving, I told you -- 114 last Friday afternoon, 750. I don't know what the number is going to be next week or the week after that, but what we want to do is give local officials the decision space to be able to make those decisions and get those on the street long before I'm saying it here from the Pentagon, and we want to be as transparent as we can so you're informed of what's out there. I want to reiterate a couple of big points. Standard design, every single facility we build, we learn more and more. We wrap that back into the standard design. Decentralized execution, commanders on the ground have the authority without having to call Washington, D.C. to be able to make any of these changes. And I want to give a shout-out to my team, 36,000 unbelievable Corps of Engineers. These guys are working 18 hours a day. They have been I think six weekends in a row now that we've been working, and they're in every single kind of facility. And there's nothing too small for us to look at, whether it's 100 beds or 3,000 beds, we're just as passionate about doing this. And I can't reiterate again the -- the support I'm getting from President Trump, the administration, Secretary Esper of saying, "What else do you need? Give us your requirement so we will do whatever we can." So I look forward to briefing you. I think we've got a couple more of these late next week. We will continue to put our products on. This is evolving. I hate to say it, I'm more focused on building beds right now than I am PowerPoint charts, so we will continue to be able to show you more and more. But let us know what your requirements are and we'll try to meet the media demand wherever we can. Thanks an awful lot for being here. And -- and again thoughts and prayers of all of us out to all those that are affected by this.

U.S. HOUSE FLOOR THURSDAY

PENTAGON BRIEFING WITH SECRETARY ESPER

1430 DOD ESPER BRFG FS22 72 FOX POOL Defense Department Senior Leaders Brief Reporters on DOD Efforts Regarding COVID-19Secretary Of Defense Mark T. Esper; Joint Chiefs Of Staff Chairman General Mark MilleySECRETARY OF DEFENSE MARK T. ESPER: Good afternoon, everyone. Yeah, the seats are starting to fill up. Good. Well good afternoon, everyone. I want to begin by expressing my gratitude to the more than 62,000 service members on the front lines in the fight against the coronavirus, including over 3,500 medical personnel staffing civilian medical facilities and embedded operations nationwide.Tomorrow marks the start of National Nurses Week and we salute all nurses, both military and civilian, who have served and are currently serving our nation and our people. Thanks to many of their efforts, we are encouraged to see the situation improving in several of the most impacted areas of the country.In New York City, for example, the Javits Center's remaining patients were discharged on Friday, which indicates that the stress on local hospitals is subsiding. And I'd like to note that I had a very good conversation with Mayor de Blasio last Friday. He called to express his deep thanks and appreciation for what DOD provided his city in a time of need and how warmly they were received by his civilian doctors, nurses and others. So he's very thankful and I said to pass along to the force, those who may be watching or may - may get a readout from this briefing.Over the weekend, the Comfort returned to Norfolk, Virginia, where it will be reset, cleaned and prepared to deploy to the next potential hotspot as needed. In Pennsylvania, the Temple Alternate Care Facility discharged all of its remaining patients while expeditionary medical facilities in Louisiana and Texas are returning to Naval Air Station Jacksonville over the next few days to prepare to redeploy if necessary.Meanwhile, the Army Corps of Engineers continues to execute FEMA mission assignments in concert with federal, state and local partners. To date, the Corps has awarded 36 construction contracts for temporary facilities to add more than 14,900 beds to states with critical shortages and 27 of these 36 alternative care facilities are now complete.At the same time, more than 46,000 National Guardsmen are supporting COVID-19 response efforts at the direction of their governors, to include testing and support through -- as -- as -- as well as providing logistical support through warehousing and distribution of food and medical supplies.And I had a chance yesterday to talk to a couple of governors, and as well, the Chairman and I had a good conversation with all of the state TAGs, the adjutant generals. It's been our third or fourth and we were able to review a number of issues, answer their questions and make sure that we are all prepared in the coming weeks for what -- what may lie ahead.As the situation evolves, we -- and responsive -- we will continue to remain agile, flexible and responsive to stay ahead of the needs of state and local authorities across the country. From the beginning of the outbreak, I have made protecting our troops, Department civilians and their families a top priority.We issued our first force health protection guidance on 30 January and have released updated guidance at least eight times since then. On 20 April, we extended the international and domestic travel restrictions to all DOD personnel and families until 30 June. This week, I will conduct the first 15-day review to determine if adjustments are warranted as we work to ease the burden on the force as much as possible.We've already expanded some of the exemptions to the -- to the stop movement order, including allowing certain permanent change of stations moves to proceed. As such, we are announcing new safety measures through the U.S. Transportation Command to protect our troops and their families during the packing and moving process.Moving professionals will be required to adhere to the CDC's COVID-19 health protection protocols, which include wearing face coverings, cleaning surfaces and practicing social distancing. Furthermore, DOD is requiring moving companies to provide certification to service members that their personnel have been screened for illness, in line with CDC guidelines. USTRANSCOM officials will brief the press tomorrow on this initiative. Additionally, as we continue to -- to accelerate and expand testing, I approved a tiered system that prioritizes our forces. This will ensure they continue training in a safe manner and execute non-fail missions, such as strategic deterrence.Finally, we are increasing the Pentagon's investments in short- and long-term medical solutions. As we work toward a vaccine in the long term, we are interested in advancing immediate therapeutic solutions that can protect our service members across the globe.As we continue to take care of our troops and support the President's whole of nation response, we remain focused on our national security missions around the world. Many countries have turned inward to recover from the pandemic and in the mean time, our strategic competitors are attempting to exploit this crisis to their benefit at the expense of others.While the Chinese Communist Party ramps up its -- ramps up its disinformation campaign to try to shift blame and burnish its image, we continue to see aggressive behavior by the PLA in the South China Sea, from threatening a Philippine Navy ship to sinking a Vietnamese fishing boat and intimidating other nations from engaging in offshore oil and gas development.Last week, two U.S. Navy ships conducted freedom of navigation operations in the South China Sea to send a clear message to Beijing that we will continue to protect freedom of navigation and commerce for all nations, large and small.I want to assure the American people and our allies that the United States military remains fully ready and capable to deter every threat, protect the homeland and safeguard our interests abroad. Critical to accomplishing these missions are game-changing technologies developed and pioneered by American scientists and researchers, one of those being the Global Positioning System.On Wednesday, senior DOD leaders will testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee regarding the FCC's decision to allow Legado to create a cellular network that could disrupt the GPS signals relied upon by our military and millions of Americans.The FCC's actions disregard the many objections of industry and the interagency grounded in years of hard data and science. Ultimately, this will cause harmful interference to the GC -- GPS network, jeopardizing our nation's security, prosperity and way of life.We urge the FCC to overturn its short-sighted decision and senior department leaders will provide more information on the risks to our security tomorrow on Capitol Hill. And with that, I'll turn it over to Chairman Milley for his comments. Thank you.GENERAL MARK MILLEY: Thank you, Secretary, and I'll -- I'll just take a minute or two here and I want to reach out and thank the -- all of the men and women of the Joint Force, the total force: Active, Guard, Reserve, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guardsmen. As the Secretary just mentioned, about well over 60,000 are on the streets of America, many thousands more are supporting them in this moment of national crisis dealing with COVID.They're deployed in all 54 states and territories, many of them in harm's way, and they are doing just a remarkable job. They are committed to this fight, and they're committed to this fight until it's over.As the secretary mentioned, he talked to Mayor de Blasio, I had an opportunity to talk to him as well. And Mayor de Blasio said there are words -- there are no words to describe the gratitude of the people of New York City for the support of the United States military, where we deployed not only the hospital ship but hospitals, field hospitals, and we still have doctors and nurses deployed in the civilian hospitals in the city.In addition to that, we have -- we have doctors and nurses deployed in other cities around the country, and in 22 other civilian hospitals, embedded within those hospitals, taking off some of the pressure, off some of the health care professionals.As the situation changes in the locales around the nation, we've tailored our response to meet the need of the various communities, as directed by FEMA. And as you know, we are in support -- we are the supporting agency. At the same time, we stand ready-always ready-to meet any threat on land, sea, air, space or cyberspace anywhere in the world. Additionally, I just want to close out by echoing what Secretary Esper just said. Tomorrow is the start of Nurses Week. This pandemic has made it abundantly clear that nurses have always been and always will be on the frontlines of keeping our American communities and our American people safe, and I want to thank each and every one of them-to include my wife, who's an active nurse-for the sacrifices they endure every single day.And, lastly, we start this month with Military Appreciation -- Spouse Month, and this Friday is military appreciation -- Military Spouse Appreciation Day. So to the over 1 millions military spouses that are out there, supporting their soldier, sailor, airman or Marine or Coast Guardsman that's in uniform, the secretary and I just want to say thank you to all that you do in support of our country.And, lastly, 75 years ago, in just a few days, we are about to commemorate the Victory in Europe Day, which is the half of World War II as it ended, with several hundred thousand U.S. military deaths, 16 million in uniform, and arguably, without question, the most devastating conflict in human history.We've been seven and a half decades without a great power war, and we need to recommit ourselves to ensure that never happens again.Mr. Secretary, your questions?STAFF: All right, we're going to go to the phones first for a couple. Just ask everybody, we've got a pretty full room here and a lot of people on the line, so try to keep questions and follow-ups tight. So going first to Bob, Bob Burns, and then to Phil Stewart.So, Bob?Q: Thank you. Secretary Esper, yesterday, during your conversation with Michael O'Hanlon at Brookings, you mentioned that although you don't know yet the origins of the coronavirus that was aboard the Kidd, that you thought it might have been picked up during the counter-drug operation that they were participating in.I'm wondering if you can elaborate on what you meant by that? And if General Milley would add his thoughts on, given the fact that the Kidd and the Roosevelt so far are the only two ships that have picked it up while operating abroad, whether you think -- General Milley, do you think the Navy has kind of figured out how to do this without picking it up? Are they out of the woods now?SEC. ESPER: So on the first part of your question, I'll just say this much and then maybe we can have a follow-up with somebody else. But a theory is that they could have picked it up on a counter-drug mission, where they pulled over a -- a vessel possibly carrying drugs, and they board the vessel and may have come in contact with somebody carrying the virus there. That's all there is to that story.The important thing is that the ship is -- she's back in port, and the sailors are being taken care of and all of the proper protocols are being followed to make sure that we get her back to sea as soon as possible.GEN. MILLEY: And, Bob, the protocols -- the Navy has instituted a whole series of protocols that are quite strict, and they include isolation and quarantine. Prior to getting -- embarking on the ship for about 14 days minimum, in at least one case, they stretched it out to 21 days, and in addition to that they do testing and screening and so on. So we -- you know, perfect is -- is never something that we're -- we would say is going to happen in every single case, but I'm very, very confident the Navy's instituted some very disciplined and rigorous protocols to protect the sailors on board the ship as they embark.STAFF: All right, go to Phil?Q: Thanks very much.Chairman, if you could just -- last time we spoke, you had said that there was nothing conclusive indicating whether or not the -- the coronavirus emerged from this lab in Wuhan. Have you seen any evidence since we last spoke to indicate that it may have emerged from this lab?And, to Secretary Esper, you know, there's been this -- what the Venezuelans are calling a failed coup attempt. Is there any view from the department that military or paramilitary force could or should be used in Venezuela for regime change? Thanks.SEC. ESPER: I'll take -- I'll go first and just say, the United States government had nothing to do with what's happened in Venezuela in the last few days. And otherwise, we are in full support of the State Department's policies with regard -- and the United States government's policy with regard to Venezuela.Our view remains that Maduro is a brutal, corrupt leader who has oppressed the people of Venezuela. They deserve better, and we will continue to make the case that he should step aside and allow an elected government to -- to form and -- and take that country in the rightful direction it should go, a very democratic, prosperous path that it was on, many, many years ago, before.GEN. MILLEY: And Jeff, this is on the Wuhan -- the Wuhan origin case, I'm not going to discuss any detailed intelligence, but the straight fundamental issues here, one is, is it natural or was it manmade somehow or somehow manipulated by manmade procedures.As I said the last time -- and I am still where I was the last time -- the weight of evidence, nothing's conclusive. The weight of evidence is, is that it was natural and not manmade.Secondly, is -- the second issue is, was it accidentally released, did it release naturally into the environment or was it intentional? We don't have conclusive evidence in any of that. But the weight of evidence is that it was probably not intentional.The third issue is location. Did it come out of the virology lab in Wuhan? Did it occur in the -- in the wet market there in Wuhan? Did it occur somewhere else? And the answer to that is we don't know. And as mentioned by many people, various agencies, both civilian and U.S. government are looking at that. It would help a great deal if the Chinese government would open up and allow inspectors and investigators to go there in full transparency so that the world can know the actual, original source of this, so that we can apply the lessons learned and prevent outbreaks in the future.STAFF: All right, we'll go, also on the phone, Luis Martinez?Q: Hi, good afternoon. Thank you all very much for doing this briefing, really appreciate it. When the Pentagon goes back to normal -- or semi-normal -- what do you anticipate life will be like for the thousands of employees in the building who have been working from home? Do you plan on incorporating the social distancing, like moving desks? Are you still going to encourage telework? At what point do you think the full workforce will be back in?SEC. ESPER: Well, it's good to see the press room thinned out like this, we may have to keep that.(LAUGHTER)Look, Luis, it's hard to predict at this point in time. As I said, I think that we will be in a new type of normal for a period of time, measured in months at least, and we're going to take it one step at a time to make sure we do everything possible to protect our people.And in that case, since you're with us here, you're our people, so we want to make sure we do whatever is necessary. I imagine that for the foreseeable future, we will continue to exercise social distancing, we will continue to wear face coverings, at least to the point and time that we figure out other techniques to address that.As I said earlier, and in -- and previously, that we are working aggressively on both therapeutics and vaccines, and the sooner we can get to that, that gives us the degree of confidence that we could further relax some of our practices. We are dutifully going to follow the guidelines put out by the CDC, by the White House, et cetera, with regard to how you approach lifting restrictions and things like that.We had a, what, a two hour meeting today about the -- how we do that in the context of lifting our -- our travel holds right now. So we're going to do everything responsibly and we, again, priority number one is taking care of our people and we're not going to jeopardize that.STAFF: Alright, we'll go to the phone for one more, from Missy Ryan, and then come back to the room.Q: Hi, thanks for doing this. I wanted to ask you, Secretary Esper, about the letters that, I believe it was 10 Democratic senators, that you, on April 27th including some members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and they -- they laid out a case for what they said was slow and disjointed response by the Defense Department to the coronavirus, and they pointed out or they cited things like the delegation to lower levels for interpretation about how restrictions would play out in various bases and installations around the world.And that the response to the coronavirus -- excuse me -- the response on the Teddy Roosevelt and then also the decision to withhold some details of information about outbreaks on different military facilities. And I'm just wondering if you could share with us your response to that letter and tell us if you have been in touch with those senators or any of them or plan to be in touch with them? Thanks.SEC. ESPER: Thanks for the question, Missy. We will be responding, but I will just say here that I'm very disappointed that members of Congress, particularly those who sit on the armed services committee and who receive weekly updates from us would write a letter that includes a number of misleading, false, or inaccurate statements.I don't think it is a -- really recognizes all that the Department of Defense has done, particularly at a time we have 62,000 American's out there in the streets of America who are, in many cases, risking their own health to protect the American people. I have spoken to nearly -- over three dozen governors, all governors who represent the members who signed that letter.Each one of those governors just told me, praised DOD's performance and thanked us for what we've done. Every step of the way, we've been ahead of the curve, we've met their needs, and we've done everything we can to help the American people. So the -- the -- statements in that letter don't match what I'm hearing from the governors. I'd also add that the things like we're not sharing data with -- on installations with regard to infectious cases are simply wrong.We share that data all the time with state, local, and federal authorities so we can -- we are part of these communities. There are a number of things we can go to -- go through, we will respond in due course, but I would just say, again, I'm disappointed in that letter, it doesn't reflect the facts, and I think -- I mean there's this other story that continues to be perpetrated. It's a false story, New York Times is putting it out that somehow we expressed some type of guidance; I gave guidance to the field that commanders weren't allowed to take action unless it was approved in advance. That has been debunked multiple times. The Chairman and I testified it -- about it before the Congress, the secretary of the army testified it, and yet we continue to see others, including in this letter cite a source who, anonymous source once again, who admittedly was not even in the room.So it's the -- the -- recitation of falsehoods like that that is disappointing.Our commitment is to ensure that we provide Congress complete, accurate and timely information which we are doing on weekly basis. We are addressing all these issues. I have spoken to the chairman and ranking members of the committees multiple times to include the last several days. So all the information is out there for us to have good discussion.We recognize Congress has an important oversight role, but it should be an informed oversight role, and we are committed to doing that to address any member's concerns and most importantly, to make sure that we live up to the three priorities that I've stated repeatedly; protect the American people -- protect our people. Number two, make sure that we ensure our national mission capabilities. And number three, provide full support to state and local authorities.I gotta add -- before I forget too, this continued accusation by some, not the majority, there's a minority, that say that for some reason that we have followed standard military practice that goes back decades, decades of issuing guidance to the field.The guidance that went out to senior commanders, four-star leaders, service secretaries who have extensive medical staffs, to somehow suggested that somehow the guidance went out to people who don't know how to implement it, is just ridiculous. We issued out nine -- eight or nine sets of guidance, going all the way back to 30 January, just days after the first person in United States was identified with the infection and weeks before unfortunately, the first American succumbed to the virus; that's how far back it goes, and I think the numbers bear out.At this point in time, we have 3,100 cases of active duty military. We've had fewer than 100 hospitalizations and unfortunately, regrettably we've had two deaths, but those numbers fair very well compared against our civilian counterparts. So I look at the facts, I look at how we've issued guidance in the past, I look at the skill and capability of our commanders in executing as appropriately to their unique situations.It's the same type of guidance that Dr. Fauci has said that we should be following in terms of applying it to the states and localities, provide broad guidelines and give folks flexibly to working with that. We've been applauded by other outside experts. So for some folks to continue to peddle this narrative is just troubling because it's how, those of you who've been covering on DOD for many years know, this is how we operate. This is how you are more successful, and this is why -- this is one of the reasons why I credit our numbers being so low as they are at this time.Q: So, just a follow up on Missy's question. I don't think the criticism was what was done after March once things started getting implemented by the military. But my question is, what did you tell the president, and when did you tell him about the danger of a pandemic? Because there was a time from February 1 when the first EXORD and the pandemic response began here in this building, and about five to six weeks before the White House started talking the pandemic in similar terms to what the military. When did you brief the president?SEC. ESPER: Well, I didn't brief the president on this issue. The president was briefed by his task force which is led initially by HHS Secretary Alex Azar, and then eventually by Vice President Pence, who has led the task force. And we've had now for several weeks, months, our Deputy Secretary Defense and General Hyten participating in those task force meetings. Obviously in meetings I've had with the president, this issue has come up. By going back to the early days, that's where it began, and we participated as a supporting member of this.Keep in mind, for DOD, this goes back all the way to the early days where the State Department chartered flights to bring people back and we opened up our airfields to both receive those Americans and then take care of them on our facilities. Those are the early days when we began initially sending out guidance to our forces, well before any of this really took off. And as you, I think noted, Jennifer, it really took off in this country in March. So we've been at this much longer than folks wanted to give us credit for.Q: General Milley, have you seen any signs that the Chinese are trying to steal the vaccines that U.S. companies or the military are trying to produce?GEN. MILLEY: Steal the vaccines?Q: Yeah, any sort of cyber activity that would cause concern.GEN. MILLEY: No. Specifically no. That doesn't mean it's not happening, it just means, you asked me if I've seen it, and I have not.Q: Just a quick question of Afghanistan. Sir, you spoke yesterday that there's been no reduction on -- in violence. The command U.S. Forces Afghanistan said they talked with the Taliban and during those conversations, they'd expected an 80 percent reduction in violence; that clearly has not happened. Yet the troop drawdown has continuing apace, there hasn't really been a U.S. response. Is this a sign that the situation in Afghanistan is going the wrong way? And are you worried about that troop presence?SEC. ESPER: You know, I said from the early days, rewound the tape somewhere, when I first came back after I visited Afghanistan, I said this would be a long, windy and bumpy road, and it has been a long, windy and bumpy road. I mean, it's not moved as fast as we would like, certainly. We're at the point now where we know that they've been swapping prisoners. I think the Afghan government has released several hundred prisoners. The Taliban of have released some as well.The key thing at this point in time is that the political leadership of Afghanistan needs to come together and find out a formula by which they can work together; they being President Ghani and CEO Abdullah. And from there based on that, they can form their negotiating team to sit down and begin the intra-Afghan negotiations. Those are the key things, we haven't moved quickly to that point, we're making progress.I know the State Department is very heavily engaged there on the ground. Our commitment is to live up our commitment. We want to continue to abide by -- abide by what we agreed to, so we continue to support our Afghan partners when they are attacked inconsistent with the agreement. But at the same time, we know that we can continue a reduction. We know that we can do all of the missions we need to do at 8,600, but we are not going to be blamed for not living up to our end of the agreement.Our role right now is really to focus on getting the political leadership in Afghanistan, the civilian leadership together to form the intra-Afghan negotiating team and then sit down with the Taliban and meanwhile we work with the -- we talk to the Taliban, we urge them, we -- through proxies and elsewhere to do the same, sit down with the Afghan government and let's get on with the intra-Afghan negotiations. That's the key to success. The only way this - this, a, -- conflict is settled is through a political agreement. It's not to be civil by force of arms.Q: Are they living up to their commitment?SEC. ESPER: Who's they?Q: The Taliban.SEC. ESPER: No, I don't think they are. Neither side in this case. Both need to come together and make progress on the terms that have been laid out. The best thing the Taliban can do right now is to live up to the agreement to get to a reduction of violence that is consistent with where we were just prior to the signing the documents.STAFF: Christine?Q: Thank you for doing this. Can you expand a little bit more on what you see China doing to exploit the pandemic, and what you and the department is doing to push back against that. Thank you.SEC. ESPER: Sure, I'll predicate it with, first of all, we've said -- I've said before, the Chinese have not been transparent from the beginning. If they had been more transparent, more open up font in terms of the giving us access, the reporting, giving us access, not just to the people on the ground, but to the virus they had so we can understand it, we'd probably be in a far different place right now. But where we are now is this, they need to still allow us in, to talk to early patients, to talk to the Chinese researchers and scientists and to have access.What are they doing? They're trying to capitalize on this by promoting their own image that somehow China is the good guy here because, despite everything they did, or more importantly failed to do, now they want to go out and say: "Well, here's masks, we'll give you masks, we'll provide this, we'll provide that, we'll provide you funding. Look at all the good we're doing." Yet, what we know is this, is that they provide masks, they provide supplies, in many cases it is not good. It's -- it doesn't do what it's supposed to do. It's broken equipment. They also are -- the strings attached are enormous in many cases, so they're telling a country here you can take these masks but please, put out publicly how good China is, how great we're doing, et cetera, et cetera.So there's a number of things they're doing to try and burnish their image. That's just two of them right there. They're also doing a lot of strong-arming behind the scenes. You've seen -- you guys, some of you are covering it in the open press with regard between Beijing and Australia, what's happening there, and I'll be talking to my -- I think my Australian counterpart this afternoon.So all these activities are going, it's straight from the Chinese playbook. Once again, it's just a little bit more obvious this time of what they're doing and how they're using a combination of compellence and coercion and everything else to try and shape the narrative and burnish the image of the Chinese Communist Party.Q: I wonder if you could talk a little bit about military testing and where we are. I think today is like 20,000 plus tests per day. General, you talked about the requirement by the end of May, early June, of 60,000 per day. And also, if you could talk about the supply chain, both governors, military leaders complain about there just aren't enough supplies. Is that supplies across the board or particular supplies, and then Congressman Adam Smith of Washington, chair of the Armed Services Committee wants you to -- or wants the government to do more with the Defense Production Act to crank out more supplies?SEC. ESPER: Well, I'll go last question first. We are doing a lot on Defense Production Act. We now have the authority to go after medical supplies, so our Undersecretary for Acquisition and Sustainment, Ellen Lord, has been doing a great job. She's ordered millions of masks and other items that have been out there, so we put a lot of money down, a lot of contracts that are out there, and I think she's already briefed you all on that.So we're moving out on that front and we're trying to look ahead down the road, months down the road, at what else we can do, and there at -- we're looking at some things with regard to the vaccine piece of this. But on the testing front, we know right now, we've prioritized our forces, you know, from tier zero, which are the people who show up symptomatic on a day-to-day basis.But then we have tiers one, two, three, and four, it's everything from our critical national capabilities to our engaged field forces to those who are deployed and redeploying and then the others. We know from those first few tiers, all but the last one, that we need, in a given week, at least 56,000. We got to refine that last tier.Q: Per week or day?SEC. ESPER: Per week, per week. 56,000 per week. So as we've been saying that 50,000 -- and as I told you all, I'll tell you again today. Those numbers will change as we continue to refine our techniques, our practices, and as we learn more. I think I probably told you two weeks ago it was 50,000 a week, we're now at 56. It's going to be higher because we have to flush out that tier four.Tier four is going to be the broader population by which we do what's called -- or what we're calling sentinel testing, whereby we randomly test groups of people to make sure they're not a -- to understand how many asymptomatic or carriers are maybe out there. So, it's a concept we're developing and eventually it will add to the numbers that we need to test in a given week, if you will.And then beyond that, we know we have a number of supplies on hand to do so many tests a week at this point in time. We're ordering more -- we're ordering for three purposes. One for our own testing needs. Secondly, for the testing needs of our interagency partners. And third, we got to rebuild our stockpile, so.Q: So, as far as testing the entire force, is that -- looking at summer?GEN. MILLEY: There's not a need to test the entire force. That would be -- that would not be a good use of tests. Again, when you look at those tier four groups of folks who aren't deploying, are not on a strategic mission capability et cetera, people like us, unless you're symptomatic, you probably don't need a test. Now that's where the sentinel, the tier -- that fourth group where we do sentinel testing where we say OK, well this group out there, we haven't seen anything from them, but let's test just in case.And we see if there's carriers on any -- it helps us sharpen our focus. So right now, there is not a plan to just automatically test the entire force. We'll catch the balance, that tier four, through this sentinel testing as we're calling it right now.GEN. MILLEY: And Tom, the 60,000 you mentioned before, that was an early estimate, based on testing the entire force, but also based on DOD civilians, based upon spouses and children and family members, based on retirees, et cetera, so a much larger number. We've done a lot of refinements since then under the leadership of our medical people, and what the numbers that we're looking at right now, 56, call it 60,000, 60,000 a month that would be the requirement that we're going to build to.Right now, our capacity is, you mentioned, 20, that what was actually done, a little bit better than that. 30,000 is really our capacity right now, and we're going to continue to build and build and build, but testing the entire force, we're learning as we go here, testing the entire force is probably not a complete requirement.STAFF: Alright, we're going to go back to the phone, we'll go to Sylvie, AFP.Q: Hello, thank you. Iran, it's a question for the Chairman, Iran sent a satellite last month in space. Is it your assessment that this satellite represents a threat to U.S. interests?GEN. MILLEY: I'll be candid, I'm not sure I understood the question.(CROSSTALK)Q: Do you consider it as a threat?GEN. MILLEY: Was the Iranian satellite launch into space a threat to U.S. interest, was that the question?Q: Yes.GEN. MILLEY: Well, let me put it this way, they launched a satellite vehicle, I think we publicly had stated it was tumbling. So the satellite itself, not overly concerned about it, but the missile technology, the secondary and second and third order missile technology and the lesson learned from that, that is a concern because, you know, different missiles can do different things and one can carry a satellite, another can carry some sort of device that can explode.So, the bottom line is yes, it is a security concern any time Iran is testing any type of long-range missile.STAFF: Alright, we'll go to phones, Tony Capaccio.Q: Can I follow-up?STAFF: Sure, go ahead Sylvie.Q: Any increase of activity from Iran recently?(CROSSTALK)GEN. MILLEY: Any recent, what activity?STAFF: Any increased activity?GEN. MILLEY: Well, it depends. It depends on what you mean by increased activity is. Cyber, space, naval, ground, special operations, working through surrogates, there's lots of activity. We have monitored -- we monitor Iran very, very closely, as you can imagine, as we do many, many other countries. Right now, we keep them -- we keep our forces on high states of alert and we're ready for whatever happens in the Middle East.SEC. ESPER: I would say -- it's fair to say that Iran continues its malign behavior throughout the region. It's really disappointing because at a time when the Iranian people are struggling as a result of this COVID, and not just the COVID, but their failure to act on COVID in a timely manner with the proper policies, if they would just spend more time and money and effort focusing on taking care of their people, the Iranian country, the people themselves will be in a whole lot better shape.But again, the Iranian government continues to export terrorism, continues to export this malign behavior from the Houthis, up into Iraq across into Syria, you name it. We continue to see them export trouble, and it's all we ask is that they be a normal country.STAFF: Alright so Tony, still on the phones?Q: Hey, Mr. Secretary.SEC. ESPER: Yes.Q: I have a bunch of questions for you. Under a flat budget projection, what modernization programs would be at risk of reductions? You've already signaled that nuclear modernization is the top priority of the department, so would naval ship building, tactical aviation, land systems, what systems -- what would be at risk in a in a -- in a flat budget over the next couple of years?SEC. ESPER: Well, Tony, we're going to look at those things in due course and be very deliberate about it. You're right we're not going to risk the strategic deterrent, we need to certainly modernize that in -- in all things -- and you covered my time in the Army, we prioritize programs.Frankly, my inclination is not to risk any of the modernization programs, it's to go back and pull out more of the legacy programs. We need to move away from the legacy and we need to invest those dollars into the -- into the future.And we have a lot of legacy programs out there right now. I could -- I could pick dozens out from all branches of the service. So that is where I would start. What that would mean is probably accepting some near term risk but I think that's important, given the trajectory we see that China is on and -- and we know where Russia may be going in the coming years. So, that is one place where I would begin, but we're going to be working through those courses of action. We've already had discussions about the budget, what it could be. We do this every year, by the way, it's -- it's nothing new, but it -- it is a little bit more acute because, as some of you heard me say yesterday, we -- we -- we recognize the fact that the Congress has generously put, what, $3 trillion into the economy in the past couple months and that puts a tremendous load onto the debt -- the national debt and that puts a strain on the economy.So we're aware of those things and we're taking that into our planning considerations, as well, as we consider our POM and our FYDP for the coming years.STAFF: All right, we'll do one more from the phone and then come back to the room for the last question. So Sam LaGrone, USNI News?Q: Can you theorize, why do you think FCC approved the decision, given the unanimous course of government officials, including yourself that this could engage with the GPS system?SEC. ESPER: Yeah, I -- I don't know. I -- I don't want to speculate. I -- I think that's a great question for the FCC to -- to find out, so.STAFF: All right. Sam?Q: Fair enough, thanks.Q: Yeah, hi, Sam LaGrone with USNI News. Gentlemen, the ongoing Navy investigation into the circumstances around the Theodore Roosevelt seems to be contained from the command structure of the aircraft carrier up to the U.S. Pacific Fleet.Does there need to be a broader look involving the COCOM in terms of the -- the chain of command relationships related to the outbreak on the TR? Thank you.SEC. ESPER: Well let's -- let's back up a little bit, just to give you the recitation of some basic facts here. And I know -- I think Secretary McPherson spoke to this about a week ago or so. But, you know, the Navy did a preliminary inquiry and it's important we get these -- these terms are important.It's -- they did a preliminary inquiry, it took five days, dozen -- dozen or so interviews and I think the preliminary inquiry was successful in terms of what it was intended to do. It's -- intent of a preliminary inquiry is to decide whether or not a further investigation is warranted.And I think as Secretary McPherson -- Acting Secretary McPherson rightly stated, that it raised a lot of questions -- unanswered questions and so his determination was that a -- a -- a full-up investigation is required. So we now know that is underway.I think you -- if I recall what you said, you scoped it properly, my guidance to him -- and it -- again, it was his decision, it's being conducted by the Navy, is pretty simple -- do the right thing and follow the facts wherever they go.If we reach the point where his investigation exceeds the scope of -- of how he is bounded right now or his authority, then he knows he can come back to me and I'm going to be diligent in terms of, again, following the facts.I think whatever -- wherever this investigation comes up to -- and I've said this privately and -- and maybe publicly with some of you all, is it -- we've got to be able to hold up to ourselves, to the American people, to the Congress. It has to be able to survive the scrutiny and all of the questions that are out there so we know that we know everything that happened and -- and -- and we hold folks accountable as need to be accountable and that we learn from it. The important thing is learn so that going into the future, we're a much better organization either writ large but the Navy in particular.So we'll -- we've got to let that play out and that's all I'll say to that at this point.STAFF: All right. And the last question here, Meghan?Q: So for the Chairman ...SEC. ESPER: Chairman you have anything to add on that last one?GEN. MILLEY: No I agree.Q: Do you have an update on how far through the tiers you've gotten in terms of getting all of tier one, tier two, tier three tested, how long that might take? And then for the Secretary, as some of these states lift their shelter-in-place orders, what's your advice -- not necessarily policy guidance but advice -- for garrison commanders who are trying to negotiate that in Texas, Georgia, Florida?GEN. MILLEY: Sure. So on the first question, for the strategic forces you can rest assured that they're -- they're all squared away and -- and readiness is there and they've all been tested and screened for COVID. We're working our way through tier two. Tier two is a much larger population and we're still working our way through that.SEC. ESPER: And on the -- the -- the other question, Meghan, what we're developing now -- and it's 80 percent there, if you will, is what that guidance would look like. We're going to look at things on -- at two levels. One is the states, how states are doing with regard to meeting the administration's guidelines, the CDC guidelines with regard to opening. You know that's a 14 day trend downward, et cetera. That's something that will not be made by installation commanders. We're going to have to elevate that some so it's made at a state level because as -- as many of you know, we have -- we could have an Army base, a Navy base or an Air Force base in one state. So it's situations like that where you don't give guidance all the way down but you -- you drop it to the lowest level capable and competent of making that. So there will be a level at which it'll be made -- a decision will be made at the state level.Then there will be another set of criteria -- guidelines probably be more -- more apt -- by which the installation commander will have to apply at his or her installation because as you said, you could be -- an installation in one state of -- in one part of Texas may be different than what they're experiencing in another part of Texas -- just -- I'm picking a random state.So the -- the -- at that point in time, it'll be more of an individual unit. The installation commander will have to make those decisions. Again, we'll provide clear guidelines and then those -- those two pillars, at least right now, will form the basis of how we start looking at lifting the extension -- the travel restriction orders and we'll provide that same type of criteria as we look overseas.It's a little bit more difficult but we're going to do that, as well. Again, we had a long conversation this morning with the service secretaries, the service chiefs and the combatant commanders on this to make sure we get it right and it's clear enough and it's enough that we have good confidence that we're -- we're taking due diligence in terms of protecting our people as we look at opening up this summer.STAFF: Thank you very much guys.SEC. ESPER: OK, thank you all very much. Thank you.

On the other hand, Democrats say an answer on the program is critical since those affected could face deportation beginning in early March.\n\n **TUESDAY AM LIVE SHOTS**\n STORY: Former US Gymnastics Doctor Sentencing\n REPORTER: Natasha Chen\n COVERAGE: 6AM ET through 2PM ET\n LOCATION: Lansing, Michigan\n CHANNELS: HD1 and SD1\nNatasha Chen (@NatashaChenCNN) is LIVE from Lansing, MI where former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar is expected to be sentenced for years of abusing young girls.\n\n <pi> ===POTENTIAL LIVE SIGNALS TODAY=== </pi>\nClick the link below for all of today's live signals \nhttps://newsource.ns.cnn.com/planner\n\n\n <pi> ===TOP STORIES=== </pi>\n \nWH BRFG:SANDERS READS STATEMENT FROM TRUMP\nSOTPO-114MO\n\nKEY VOTE TO REOPEN GOVT CLEARS SENATE 81-18\nVO/NATPO-85MO\n\nMCCONNELL:WE HAVE A CHANCE TO GET BACK TO WORK\nSOTPO-97MO\n\nPENCE: THE SCHUMER SHUTDOWN FAILED\nSOTPO-105MO\n\nTHUNE: SHUTDOWNS ARE NOT WEAPONS\nSOTPO-108MO\n\nCRUZ/GOVT SHUTDOWN-A LOT NEEDED ON IMMIGRATION\nSOT RAWPO-103MO\n\nGOVT SHUTDOWN:WHAT STAYS OPEN,WHAT CLOSES?\nVO/STILLPO-43MO\n\nNASSAR SENTENCING/VICTIM - #1 MOLESTING PEDOPHILE\nSOTNA-44MO\n\nPENCE ARRIVES TO DELIVER REMARKS TO ISRAELI PARLIAMENT\nVO/NATPO-17MO\n\nTILLERSON,UK FOREIGN SECY JOHNSON TAKE QUESTIONS\nVO/NATPO-20MO\n\nBOY WITH 10-POUND TUMOR ON FACE DIES AFTER SURGERY\nVO/SILNA-25MO\n\n <pi> ==ENTERTAINMENT=== </pi>\nFIONA THE HIPPO TURNS ONE-GETS BIRTHDAY CAKE\nVO/STILL EN-50MO\n\nTHOUSANDS GATHER TO REMEMBER CRANBERRIES LEAD SINGER\nVO/RAWIN-70MO\n\nRAZZIE NOMS:JENNIFER LAWRENCE,MARK WAHLBERG\nVO/SILEN-76MO\n\n <pi> ===NORTHEAST=== </pi>\nME, VT, NH, MA, NY, CT, RI, DE, NJ, PA, MD, VA, WV, OH, KY, IN, MI, Canada\n\nNY: FMR CUOMO AIDE BRIBERY TRIAL JURY SELECTION\nDONUTNE-004MO\n\n <pi> ===SOUTH=== </pi>\nDC, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN, MS, LA, AR, OK, TX, PR\n\nTX: CAR STOLEN WITH 3 CHILDREN INSIDE\nVO/SOTSE-003MO\n\nTX: TEEN SAVES PATRON AT MOVIE THEATER\nDONUTSE-004MO\n\nAL:ARREST MADE IN COLD CASE MURDER\nDONUTSE-005MO\n\nTX:5 YEAR OLD BITTEN BY RATTLESNAKE WHILE HIKING\nDONUTSE-006MO\n\n <pi> ===WEST=== </pi>\nMT, WY, NM, AZ, UT, ID, WA, OR, NV, CA, AK, HI\n\nCA MUDLSLIDE:ELLEN DEGENERES PHOTO W/ CHP OFC\nVO/STILLNA-63MO\n\nWA:AMAZON CHECK-OUT FREE STORE OPENS\nVO/SILWE-004MO\n\nCA 'HOUSE OF HORRORS':SISTER OF SUSPECT SPEAKS OUT\nCLIPNA-68MO\n\n <pi> ===INTERNATIONAL=== </pi>\nJAPAN ON ALERT AS TOKYO CONDUCTS 1ST MISSILE DRILL\nPKGIN-16MO\n\nMAYON VOLCANO LAVA FOUNTAIN (TIME LAPSE)\nVO/SILIN-69MO\n\nFERGIE'S DAUGHTER PRINCESS EUGENIE OF YORK ENGAGED\nVO/STILLIN-14MO\n \nNETANYAHU SPEAKS IN THE KNESSET AHEAD OF PENCE ADDRESS\nVO/NATIN-21MO\n\nABBAS TO EU: RECOGNIZE THE STATE OF PALESTINE\nVO/NATIN-61MO\n\nARGENTINE PRESIDENT TO MEET WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN\nVO/STILLIN-66MO\n\n <pi> ===INTERNATIONAL=== </pi>\n\n

Led by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, more than 160,000 Allied troops invaded Western Europe with more than 13,000 aircraft and 5,000 ships. On this solemn occasion, more than 3,000 miles away in a small town in rural Virginia, Americans across the country will visit the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford, Virginia, a town that is said to have lost more men per capita on D-Day than any other town in America. Karin Caifa takes you to this historic site for the day's commemorations, and to share the stories from some of our nation's heroes, with custom and generic live shots from 6am through 12pm ET.\n\n <pi> ===POTENTIAL LIVE SIGNALS TODAY=== </pi>\nClick the link below for all of today's live signals \nhttps://newsource.ns.cnn.com/planner\n\n\n <pi> ===TOP STORIES=== </pi>\n\nVOTERS REACT TO TRUMP'S MEXICO TARIFFS\nDONUTNA-130TU\n\nFBI HAS ACCESS TO MORE THAN 641 MILLION FACE PHOTOS\nSOTPO-125TU\n\nHOUSE MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR VA BEACH VICTIMS\nVO/NATPO-123TU\n\nHOUSE PASSES BILL TO PROTECT DREAMERS (CHEERS ERUPT)\nVO/NATPO-120TU\n\nMANAFORT MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO NEW YORK'S RIKERS ISLAND\nDONUTPO-119TU\n\nREP TLAIB EMOTIONAL ABOUT THREATS AT WHITE SUPREMACY HRG\nSOT RAWIN-116TU\n\nTRUMP: "EVERYTHING IS UP FOR NEGOTIATION"\nSOTIN-114TU\n\n <pi> ===FILE/ADVANCERS=== </pi>\n\nCOUPLE SUES SOUTHWEST FOR 2018 ENGINE EXPLOSION\nVO/SILJL-121TU\n\nFILE: WALMART SUED FOR SELLING FAKE MEDICINE\nVO/NATBU-118TU\n\nVP MIKE PENCE TO MEET W/ MEXICO'S FM WEDNESDAY\nVO/SILPO-112TU\n\n <pi> ===NORTHEAST=== </pi>\nME, VT, NH, MA, NY, CT, RI, DE, NJ, PA, MD, VA, WV, OH, KY, IN, MI, Canada\n\nMA: TRIAL/BABIES' REMAINS FOUND IN SQUALID HOME\nDONUTNE-013TU\n\nOH: TORNADO DAMAGE VICTIMS STILL WITHOUT POWER\nDONUTNE-010TU\n\n <pi> ===SOUTH=== </pi>\nDC, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, TN, MS, LA, AR, OK, TX, PR\n\nFL: PORCH PIRATE STRUGGLES TO STEAL PACKAGE (CRAZY!)\nDONUTSE-032TU\n\nNC: $344M POWERBALL WINNER COMES FORWARD\nVO/SOTSE-028TU\n\nFL: PARKLAND PARENTS REACT TO FMR DEPUTY'S ARREST\nDONUTSE-024TU\n\nTN: MAN ALMOST LOSES FINGER FROM RATTLESNAKE BITE\nDONUTSE-022TU\n\nFL: FMR MSD OFFICER SCOT PETERSON CHARGED (MUGSHOT)\nVO/STILLJL-113TU\n\nFL: TROOPER HIT BY CAR ON TURNPIKE (CAUGHT ON CAM)\nDONUTSE-023TU\n\n <pi> ===MIDWEST=== </pi>\nWI, IL, MO, IA, MN, ND, SD, NE, KS, CO\n\nIL: GOV PRITZKER TOURS GRAFTON FLOODING\nVO/SOTMW-009TU\n\nIA: MULTIPLE PEOPLE BURNED/FIREWORKS GO AWRY\nDONUTMW-007TU\n\n <pi> ===WEST=== </pi>\nMT, WY, NM, AZ, UT, ID, WA, OR, NV, CA, AK, HI\n\nAZ: INJURED HIKER RESCUED FROM PIESTEWA PEAK\nVO/SILWE-021TU\n\nWA: WILDFIRE GROWS TO 5,000 ACRES IN GRANT COUNTY\nVO/NATWE-020TU\n\nCA: STARTUP WANTS POGO STICKS BOUNCING AROUND TOWN\nDONUTWE-019TU\n\n <pi> ===INTERNATIONAL=== </pi>\n\nAUSTRALIA: CARDINAL PELL ARRIVES TO COURT\nVO/SILIN-129TU\n\nDC: MEXICAN FM ON CAPITOL HILL FOR TARIFF TALKS\nVO/NATIN-128TU\n\nWOMEN'S WORLD CUP STARTS THIS WEEK, ELLEN WHITE SPEAKS\nNAT PKGIN-122TU\n\n
