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. IF WE DO NOT LOCATE THE TAPE THERE IS NO CHARGE, BUT IF WE DO AND IT IS REMOVED FROM THE FACILITY FOR TRANSFER, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE NON-REFUNDABLE FEES.

0915 SENATE ENERGY WILDFIRE HRG FS1 79 Full Committee Hearing to Examine the Impacts of Wildfire on Electric Grid Reliability DATE: Thursday, December 19, 2019 TIME: 9:30 a.m. EST LOCATION: Room 366 of the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington, DC. AGENDA: The purpose of the hearing is to examine the impacts of wildfire on electric grid reliability and efforts to mitigate wildfire risk and increase grid resiliency. Opening Remarks Sen. Lisa Murkowski Chairman Sen. Joe Manchin Ranking Member Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources WITNESSES: Mr. Carl Imhoff Manager, Electricity Market Sector Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Mr. Scott Corwin Executive Director Northwest Public Power Association Dr. B. Don Russell Distinguished Professor and Director, Power System Automation Laboratory Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Texas A&M University Mr. Bill Johnson CEO and President PG&E Corporation Dr. Michael Wara Senior Research Scholar Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment 09:33:35 MURKOWSKI GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. THE COMMITTEE WILL COME TO ORDER. LAST HEARING OF THE YEAR HERE. THERE'S A LOT GOING ON THIS MORNING SO I THINK WE WILL HAVE PEOPLE POPPING IN AND OUT BUT WE DO HAVE A PRETTY HARD TO STOP AT 11:00 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. A SERIES OF VOTES THAT ARE BEGINNING AT 11:00 A.M. AND WE ARE GOING TO OBSERVE AN ACTUAL TEN MINUTE CLOCK, WE ARE TOLD. IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME IN SENATE HISTORY BUT THAT IS THE GOAL. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE THIS MORNING AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE VERY, VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WE ARE HERE TO DISCUSS THE IMPACT OF WILDFIRES ON THE RELIABILITY OF OUR ELECTRIC GRID AND EFFORTS TO MITIGATE WILDFIRE RISK AND INCREASE GOOD RESILIENCY. IN RECENT YEARS DEVASTATING WILDFIRES AND RELATED ELECTRICITY BLACKOUTS IN CALIFORNIA HAVE DRAWN NATIONAL ATTENTION TO THE CHALLENGE OF MAINTAINING GRID RESILIENCY IN THE FACE OF EXTREME CONDITIONS. TRAGICALLY AS YOU REMEMBER THE CAMPFIRE IN THE DEADLIEST AND MOST DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CALIFORNIA HISTORY WHICH INCINERATED THE TOWN OF PARADISE, KILLED 85 PEOPLE. STATE INVESTIGATORS DETERMINED THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY DEGRADED 97 -YEAR-OLD POWERLINES DURING THE SO-CALLED FIRE WHETHER IT IT'S CONSISTED OF STRONG WINDS, LOW COMMITTEE, DRY VEGETATION AND HEAT. THE CAMP FIRE WAS A SOBERING WAKE-UP CALL ON THE INHERENT RISK OF MAINTAINING THOUSANDS OF MILES OF ABOVEGROUND POWERLINES ACROSS FIRE PRONE LANDSCAPES. CALIFORNIA RINGLEADERS IN SEVERAL OF THE STATES LARGEST UTILITIES TO INCREASE THEIR USE OF PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS OR PS DS BANDS AS A PRECAUTION AGAINST POSSIBLE WILDFIRE DURING HIGH WIND EVENTS. IN CANADA THE MEASURE OF LAST RESORT PLANS CALL FOR UTILITIES TO DEENERGIZE POWERLINES IN EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS AND BLOCK OUT LARGE PORTIONS OF THEIR SERVICE TERRITORY. FROM JUNE THROUGH NOVEMBER AT LEAST NINE PS PS ADVANCE CUT POWER FOR MORE THAN 3 MILLION CALIFORNIANS. FOR SOME THESE BLACKOUTS LASTED A FEW HOURS AND BROTHERS POWER WENT ON FOR NEARLY SIX DAYS. THESE BLACKOUTS OCCURRED NOT ONLY WITH THE RUGGED TERRAIN OF NORTHERN CAL FOR A NAP BUT ALSO IN THE GREATER METRO AREAS OF SAN FRANCISCO, SAN DIEGO AND LOS ANGELES COUNTY. REPEAT SCENARIOS COULD BE WITH US FOR A VERY LONG TIME. ACCORDING TO THE TESTIMONY THAT WE WILL HEAR TODAY WILDFIRE BLACKOUTS COULD BE CALIFORNIA'S NEW NORMAL FOR THE NEXT TEN, 30 YEARS OR PERHAPS EVEN LONGER. ONE WOULD EXPECT TO SEE SUCH LIVING CONDITIONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES BUT NOT IN SOME OF OUR MOST POPULATED AND PROSPEROUS PLACES HERE IN THE UNITED STATES AND CERTAINLY NOT IN A STATE WITH SOME OF THE HIGHEST ELECTRICITY PRICES IN THE NATION. THIS CHALLENGE IS NOT LIMITED TO CALIFORNIA BUT DENSE VEGETATION AND HAZARD ENTRIES INTERFERING WITH POWERLINES ARE NOT AN UNCOMMON CAUSE OF WILDFIRES. NEITHER INTEGRATED ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE. OUR NATIONAL BASIS THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE ESTIMATES MORE THAN 277 FIRES FROM 2017-2018 CAN BE TRACED TO POWERLINES. SEVERAL OF THE FIRES EMERGED INTO THE 2016 GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAINS WILDFIRE WAS STARTED BY WIND TO DOWNED POWER. IT'S A GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN WILD BEARS WERE THE DEADLIEST IN THE EASTERN U.S. SINCE THE GREAT FIRES OF 1947. IN MY HOME STATE OF ALASKA BUYERS NORTH OF ANCHORAGE ARE BELIEVED TO BE CONNECTED TO POWERLINES IN A REGION THAT HAS PRETTY HIGH SPRUCE BARK BEETLE MORTALITY. AN INVESTIGATION IS STILL PENDING BUT A TREE FALLING ONTO A REGISTRATION LINE IS EXPECTED BECAUSE OF THE MCKINLEY FIRE THIS SUMMER WHICH RESULTED IN THE LOSS OF 56 HOMES. THE DANGER IN ALASKA, LIKE ELSEWHERE IN THE NATION, IS POWERLINES ARE NECESSARILY LOCATED NEAR HOMES AND SCHOOLS AND BUSINESSES AND THAT IS JUST A FACT. PRIVATE CHANGE, DROUGHT, IN FACT INSECT INFESTATION AND POOR FORESTATION HAS MADE FOREST MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FIRE AND IS MORE PEOPLE BUILD HOMES AND THE WILD AND URBAN INTERFACE OR DISPERSED COMMUNITIES THE CHANCES FOR UTILITY RELATED WILDFIRES ARE SURE TO INCREASE. IN THIS ERA OF MEGA- FIRES CONGRESS HAS STEPPED IN TO ENSURE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS NOT A ROADBLOCK TO CLEARING DENSE VEGETATION AND HAZARD TREES FROM UTILITY RIGHT OF WAYS. IN 2018 WE PASSED THE ELECTRIC LIABILITY AS PART OF THE 2018 CONSOLIDATED APPROPRIATIONS ACT. THAT LAW DIRECTS FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS DIRECTS LIGHT THE CLEARING OF VEGETATION WITHIN 100 FEET OF POWERLINE CORRIDORS ON FEDERAL LAND. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE BOLTS APARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND THE FOREST SERVICE ARE NOW INCREMENTING THAT IMPORTANT MEASURE. NOW, WE MUST TURN OUR ATTENTION TO WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HARDEN OUR ENERGY INPUT STRUCTURE AND IMPROVE THE RESILIENCY OF OUR GRID IN HIGH FIRE RISK AREAS DURING THESE EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THIS IS A COMPEX PROBLEM THAT WILL REQUIRE COLLABORATION AT ALL LEVELS AND PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE ELECTRIC INDUSTRY SO I THINK THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE JOINED US THIS MORNING TO PROVIDE IMPORTANT TESTIMONY AND I THINK COLLEAGUES FOR BEING HERE AND I WILL NOW TURN TO SENATOR MANCHIN FOR HIS COMMENTS BEFORE WE BEGIN THE PANEL. 09:39:05 MANCHIN THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN MURKOWSKI. I WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT OF PERSONAL TIME HERE IF I CAN. TODAY WILL BE THE LAST MEETING OF A PERSON WHO'S BEEN WITH ME FOR A LONG TIME IN MY COMMITTEE AND SHE HAS BEEN WITH ME IN MY STATE OFFICE, NOT THE STATE OFFICE BUT MY DC OFFICE AND MY CHIEF COUNSEL THERE AND MOVED OVER WHEN I BECAME RAKING MEMBER AS THE DIRECTOR OF THE RANKING MEMBER STAFF AND THEY'VE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB. SARAH HAS A NEW LITTLE BABY SO SHE NOW HAS TWO LITTLE BABIES AND THINGS THEN AND LIFE CHANGES AND WE ARE JUST SO SORRY THAT SHE WON'T BE ON THE COMMITTEE ARE WORKING IN COMMITTEE OR LEADING THIS STAFF BUT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE NEAR AND DEAR TO US BY HER PHONE AND WE WILL NOT LET HER ESCAPE TO FAR. WITH THAT, SARAH, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES. [APPLAUSE] CHAIRMAN MURKOWSKI, THANK YOU FOR HOLDING YOUR HEARING TODAY ON THE ELECTRIC GRID. WILDFIRES ARE A THREAT TO CRIPPLE INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING THE ELECTRIC GRID BUT AS WE HAVE SEEN IN SEVERAL INSTANCES OF EQUIPMENT FAILURE THEY CAN SPARK WILDFIRES. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR WESTERN STATES. WE HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CATASTROPHIC BUYERS AND CALPURNIA FOR THIS IMPACTS EASTERN STATES, TOO. IN MY HOME STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA IT IS NOT BEEN EXEMPT. OVERTHINKING AND WEEKEND THE FIRE BURNED 1300 ACRES IN WEST VIRGINIA. FORTUNATELY NO HOMES WERE DAMAGED BUT OTHER HOMES HAVE NOT BEEN SO LUCKY. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HARD HIT HARD BY WILDFIRES AND THE IMPACTS HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING. LAST YEAR THE CAMPFIRE ALONE KILLED 85 PEOPLE AND DESTROYED 14000 HOMES IN THE TOWN OF PARADISE. I APPRECIATE MR. BILL JOHNSON, PRESIDENT OF PG AND E, CORPORATION BEING HERE TODAY AND WILLING TO TALK ABOUT HIS COMPANY'S UNDERSTANDING OF THE RESPECTS THAT WERE MADE, LESSONS LEARNED AND THE OPERATIONAL CHANGES PG ANDY IS CHANGING TO ENSURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. WILDFIRES ARE INCREASING IN INTENSITY, SIZE AND FREQUENCY AND WE WILL NEED A NEW APPROACH TO MITIGATE THEIR DEVASTATING IMPACTS AND INSURE ELECTRICITY AND FOR STRUCTURE ISN'T STARTING THE FIRE SPREAD THEY ALSO ARE GETTING HARDER TO CONTROL DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE, LACK OF FOREST MANAGEMENT AND ROLE FIRE FOR AREAS BUT THIS IS AFFECTING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND I LOOK FOR TO HEARING FROM OUR PANEL ABOUT AVAILABLE TECHNOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES AND WHAT INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS ARE NEEDED TO REDUCE RISKS. THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY INTERNATIONAL LABS INCLUDING [INAUDIBLE] ARE WORKING ON MODERNIZING THE ELECTRIC GRID AND WE NEED TO ADDRESS THIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WILDFIRES IN A GRID BOTH IN TERMS OF WILDFIRES IMPACTING THE GRID AND ALSO ELECTRICITY AND PER STRUCTURE WILDFIRES AND THERE IS NO SILVER BULLET BUT WE CAN AND SHOULD LOOK TO LEARN FROM THE UTILITIES THAT MADE THEIR GRID MOST RESILIENT TO WILDFIRES AND THOSE THAT HAVE THE BEST SERVICE DELIVERED THE SCHOOLS FOR MAINTENANCE AND INFECTION PRACTICES, INSTALLATIONS OF NEW AND IMPROVED TECHNOLOGIES TO DETECT PROBLEMS EARLY, RISK MITIGATION LIKE TREE TRIMMING OR POWERLINES AND DEENERGIZING POWERLINES AS A LAST RESORT. OF COURSE THE LAST RESORT SHOULD NOT BAR WHICH PG ANDY AND OTHER UTILITIES HAVE DONE PROACTIVELY SEVERAL TIMES IN RECENT MONTHS DURING HIGH WINDS. I CAN IMAGINE HOW DISRUPTIVE THAT WAS PLANS OF CUSTOMERS AND BUSINESSES THAT EVENT EVERY DAY ON ELECTRICITY YOU PROVIDED SO I HOPE YOU WILL EXPLAIN TO US TODAY WHY THAT WAS A STEP YOU TOOK IN THOSE PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND HOW EFFECTIVE THEY WERE. I UNDERSTAND DURING ONE OF THE PG&E SHUT OFF 218 INSTANCES OF WIND DAMAGE WERE DISCOVERED AND 24 WOULD LIKELY HAVE STARTED WILDFIRES IF YOU HAD NOT TAKEN PRECAUTIONARY ACTIONS. THE SHUT OFF ME AND PREVENTED SEVERAL FIRES BUT ALSO CAME AT A GREAT COST BUT IT RAISES THE QUESTION THAT IF WE HAVE TO SHUT OFF THE POWER HOW CAN WE DO IT IN A WAY THAT CAUSES THE LEAST HARM TO CUSTOMERS. FINALLY, I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM THE WITNESSES ABOUT WAYS THAT CONGRESS CAN BE HOPEFUL. I KNOW WE TOOK A BIG STEP FORWARD PROVIDING THE PROVISION IN THE 2018 OMNIBUS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR UTILITIES TO DO THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ESPECIALLY FOR THE SMALLER ROLE OF ELECTRICAL CO-OPS. I WELCOME YOUR THOUGHTS AND ADDITIONAL ACTIONS THAT WE CAN TAKE TO MAKE IT EASIER TO CLEAN UP AND AN AREA OF WILDFIRE INCLUDING THE TIMBER FROM THE TREES KILLED BY THE FIRE BEFORE THE TIMBERED ROTS. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL. WE WANT TO AVOID THE DEVASTATION CAUSED BY WILDFIRES AND HAVE A RELIABLE, GRID TO POWER OUR HOMES AND BUSINESSES. IN THE FACE OF INCREASING WILDFIRE RISK WE NEED TO DO EVERY THING WE CAN TO MANAGE AND REDUCE THE RISING RISKS. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM WITNESSES AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT HOW TO DO THAT SO THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN MURKOWSKI AND I THINK OUR WITNESSES FOR COMING AND MAKING IT TO BE HERE TODAY. 09:44:12 MURKOWSKI THANK YOU, SENATOR MANCHIN. WE WILL BEGIN WITH OUR PANEL THIS MORNING AGAIN. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT YOU WILL MAKE TO THIS IMPORTANT DISCUSSION. THE PANEL WILL BE LET OUT BY MR. BILL JOHNSON AND MR. JOHNSON IS CEO AND PRESIDENT FOR PG&E CORPORATION. I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT TIME FOR YOU FOR ALL WITHIN THE PG&E FAMILY. IT IS AND HAS BEEN A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE AND I KNOW YOU HAVE MADE EVERY EFFORT TO BE OPEN AND TRANSPARENT AS YOU DEAL WITH THIS AND SHARE THESE LESSONS LEARNED GRID WE ARE APPRECIATIVE YOU ARE HERE WITH US THIS MORNING. THE DOCTOR MICHAEL WHERE IS HERE WITH THE SENIOR RESEARCH INTO STUDENT SCHOLAR AT STANFORD SCOTT CORWIN IS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE NORTHWEST PUBLIC POWER ASSOCIATION. WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS THIS MORNING BRING CARL INHOFE IS THE MANAGER FOR THE ELECTRICITY ORGAN SECTOR AT ONE OF OUR FABULOUS NATIONAL LABS AT PACIFIC NORTHWEST NATIONAL LABORATORY. WE ARE THANKFUL YOU ARE HERE. THE PANEL WILL BE ROUNDED OFF BY DOCTOR RUSSELL. HE IS PROFESSOR AND DIRECTOR OF POWER SYSTEM AUTOMATION LABORATORY AT THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL AND COMPUTER ENGINEERING AT TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY. WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TODAY. WE ASK YOU TO KEEP YOUR COMMENTS TO ABOUT FIVE MINUTES WITH YOUR FULL STATEMENTS WILL BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECORD AND THEN WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM BACK AND FORTH WITH MR. JOHNSON, WELCOME TO COMMITTEE. 09:45:53 THANK YOU SO MUCH GOOD GOOD MORNING FRED I'M BILL JOHNSON, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF PG&E CORPORATION BUT I APPRECIATE THE INVITATION TO BE HERE IN THE COMMITTEE'S INTEREST IN WILDFIRES. IN THE IMPACTS TO ELECTRIC GRID RELIABILITY AND RESILIENCE. AS HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN CALIFORNIA AND THROUGHOUT THE WEST WE SEEN A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN WILDFIRES AS A RESULT OF A CHANGING CLIMATE. WHICH HAS A DRAMATIC EFFECT ON OUR ELECTRIC SYSTEM AND HOW WE OPERATE AND JUST SEVEN YEARS AGO 15% OF PG&E SERVICE AREA WAS DESIGNATED AS HAVING ELEVATED HIGHER RISKS. THAT NUMBER IS OVER 50% TODAY AND WILL CONTINUE TO GROW SO IN THE SEVEN YEARS THE RISK OF FIRE MORE THAN TRIPLED FOR OUR SERVICE AREA IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND CALIFORNIA IS EXPERIENCE THE MOST DESTRUCTIVE WILDFIRES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS AND ITS DEADLIEST PG&E IS DEEPLY SORRY FOR THE ROLE THAT OUR EQUIPMENT HAD IN THOSE FIRES AND THE LOSSES THAT OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THEM AND WERE TAKEN ACTION TO PREVENT PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. WE INVESTED OVER 30 BILLION IN OUR ELECTRIC SYSTEM OVER THE LAST DECADE INCLUDING MORE THAN $3 BILLION IN VEGETATION MANAGEMENT AND TODAY WE ARE TAKING THAT WORK A STEP FURTHER BY INCREASING VEGETATION MANAGEMENT IN THE HIGH-RISK AREAS, INCORPORATING ANALYTIC AND PREDICTIVE CAPABILITIES AND EXPANDING THE SCOPE AND INTRUSIVENESS OF OUR INSPECTION PROCESS. THIS YEAR WE EXPECTED EVERY ELEMENT OF OUR ELECTRIC SYSTEM WITHIN THE HIGH THREATS FIRE AREAS, EXAMINING ALMOST 730,000 STRUCTURES AND 25 MILLION DISCRETE RELATED COMPONENTS IN ABOUT FOUR MONTHS. WE DEPLOYED 600 WEATHER STATIONS AND 130 HIGH RESOLUTION CAMERAS ACROSS OUR SERVICE AREA TO BOLSTER SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE. WE ARE USING SATELLITE DATA AND MODELING TECHNIQUES TO PREDICT WILDFIRES SPREAD AND BEHAVIOR AND HARDENING OUR SYSTEM IN THOSE AREAS WHERE THE FIRE CREDIT IS HIGHEST BY INSTALLING STRONGER AND MORE RESILIENT POLES AND COVERED LINES AS WELL AS UNDERGROUND TEAM. THIS YEAR WE TOOK THE UNPRECEDENTED STEP OF INTENTIONALLY TURNING OFF POWER FOR SAFETY DURING A STRING OF SEVERE WIND EVENTS WHERE WE SAW 100 MILE-PER-HOUR WINDS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THIS DECISION AFFECTED MILLIONS OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND CAUSE THEM DESTRUCTION AND HARDSHIP EVEN AS IT SUCCEEDED IN THE GOAL OF PROTECTING HUMAN LIFE. THE NATURE OF THIS RISK THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCES OF IT REQUIRES TO PLAN, OPERATE AND MAINTAIN OUR SYSTEMS DIFFERENTLY THAN WE EVER HAVE AND THIS WILL REQUIRE A FOCUS ON RESILIENCE AS WELL AS RELIABILITY. THAT IS WHERE THE LESSONS HERE ARE APPLICABLE TO THE BEYOND CALIFORNIA AND THE COMMITTEE HAS NOTED THIS RESILIENCE AND RELIABILITY ARE RELATED BUT THEY ARE DISTINCT. OUR CUSTOMERS INCLUDING CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE LONG DEPENDED ON RELIABLE SERVICE BUT TODAY MORE THAN EVER OUR ABILITY TO PROVIDE RELIABLE SERVICE DEPENDS ON THE CUMBRIAN'S OF SOCIETAL APPROACH TO RESILIENCE. CONGRESS ADDRESSED RELIABILITY TO SECTION 15 OF THE FEDERAL POWER ACT NEARLY 15 YEARS AGO AND CONGRESS COULD ADDRESS RESILIENCE NOW TO POTENTIAL ACTIONS THAT INCLUDE DIRECTING DOE TO DEVELOP A FRAMEWORK AND PROCESS FOR ECONOMIC COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF RESILIENCE INVESTMENT, INCREASED ELIGIBILITY AND FUNDING FOR EXISTING ENERGY ASSISTANCE AND COMMUNITY RESILIENCE PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT RESEARCH AND OF ELEMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES AND FORWARD THINKING DATA AND PROMOTING PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO ESTABLISH VOLUNTARY RESILIENCE ZONES AND BUILDING CODES AND STANDARDS. SPECIFIC TO ADDRESS THE WILDFIRE THREAT WE BELIEVE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD CONTINUE ITS FOCUS ON FUNDING FOREST MANAGEMENT AND FIRE SUPPRESSION ACTIVITIES, AND PLUMMETING FOREST AND VEGETATION MANAGEMENT POLICIES ADVANCED BY SENATOR DAINES AND CONGRESSMAN SCHRADER. ENSURING ACCESS TO FEDERAL LANDS FOR PREVENTION AND RESPONSE AND AUTHORIZING FEDERAL AGENCIES TO SHARE SATELLITE DATA WILDFIRE DETECTION. WE KNOW THAT ADDRESSING THIS RISK STARTS WITH US AND OUR OWN OPERATIONS AND WHY WE ARE FOCUSED ON RISK-BASED APPROACH MITIGATING THE DYNAMIC RISK FACING THE COMPANY AND THIS INDUSTRY. LET ME CONCLUDE BY SAYING PG&E REMAINS COMMITTED TO DOING EVERY THING IN OUR POWER TO BUILD A BETTER AND SAFER FUTURE FOR ALL AND THAT IS WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS DESERVE. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. 09:50:33 THANK YOU, MR. JOHNSON. DOCTOR, WELCOME. 09:50:38 SENATOR MURKOWSKI, SENATOR MANCHIN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HAVING ME BEFORE THE COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE THERE ARE REAL [INAUDIBLE] AT LEAST IN THE CALIFORNIA CONTEXT THESE THREATS RAISE SIGNIFICANT QUESTIONS REGARDING HOW AND ELEMENTS OF THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM ACROSS HYDRANT AREAS SHOULD BE OPERATED DURING INCREASINGLY COMMON AND INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS LATE FALL DRY, HIGH WIND EVENTS. AS BILL JOHNSON JUST DISCUSSED PG&E HEADSPACE, ENORMOUS THREATS TO ITS SYSTEM AND HAS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR USED WIDESPREAD PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTOFFS AS A TOOL TO CREATE SAFETY AND AS YOU MENTIONED IN HER OPENING REMARKS THIS IS NOT JUST AN ISSUE FOR RURAL OR MORE CALIFORNIA BUT IT DIRECTLY IMPACTS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN METRO AREAS IN CALIFORNIA AS WELL. THE USE OF PS PS IS PREVENTING WILDFIRE AND CAUSED WIDESPREAD DISRUPTION FAMILIES AND BUSINESSES ESPECIALLY IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. THESE EVENTS THOUGH THEY DO TO RADICALLY INCLUDE SAFETY ARE VERY COSTLY TO THE HEALTH OF THE ECONOMY, ESPECIALLY IN SMALLER COMMUNITIES. MY BEST ESTIMATE USING TOOL DEVELOPS OF THE LABORATORY INDICATES THAT PG&E EVENTS OF 2019 LIKELY BECAUSE CUSTOMERS MORE THAN $10 BILLION. FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS DURING HIGH WINDS IS NOT A NEW PHENOMENON IN CALIFORNIA AND INDEED THE WILDFIRE HAS MODERN APPROACHES TO [INAUDIBLE] WHICH CAUSE BY TRANSMISSION LINE FAILURE. SIMILARLY, CAN FIRE WAS IGNITED BY FAILURE OF A TRANSMISSION LINE AND THIS YEAR AND PERHAPS MOST CONCERNING OF ALL, FAILURE OF A JUMPER ON A 230 KB LINE IN THE GEYSERS APPEARED TO ACROSS THE KINCAID FIRE. WHILE THE KINCAID FIRE WAS SUPERBLY MANAGED BY THE NEWSOM ADMINISTRATION IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN PROPERTY LOSS AS LEAST AS LARGE AS THE CAMPFIRES THAT CAME BEFORE US. IN ADDITION THERE'S AT LEAST A SUGGESTION THAT TWO FIRES IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WERE POTENTIALLY CAUSED BY TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILURES THIS YEAR. AND EMPHASIZE THAT THE TURNING 19 FIRES ARE STILL VERY MUCH UNDER INVESTIGATION AND WE DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THEIR CAUSES BUT THERE ARE STRONG SUGGESTIONS OF VULNERABILITY IN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. PRIOR TO THE SEER PREEMPTIVE TO THE DE- ENERGIZATION OF THE OUTLETS WAS RELATIVELY LIMITED. MOSTLY INVOLVED SLOWER VOLTAGE, TRANSMISSION LINES THAT WERE MUCH OLDER AND THE FAILURES WE OBSERVED THIS YEAR INDICATE THAT EVEN FIRE VOLTAGE LINES PROVIDE SYSTEM RELIABILITY MAY BE VULNERABLE DURING HIGH WIND EVENTS. IT WAS PRUDENT BASED ON RECENT EXPERIENCE WHO IS CONSIDERED INCLUDING ALL THESE LINES PERHAPS THE VERY HIGHEST LINE IN THE PS PS PROTOCOLS AND THAT HAS POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT RAMIFICATIONS FOR BOTH THE SYSTEM RELIABILITY IN CALIFORNIA AND IMPACT BEYOND THE HEIGHT WILDFIRE THAT AREAS FOR OUR CUSTOMERS. CURRENTLY CALIFORNIA REGULATORS AND UTILITIES ARE ENGAGED IN URGENT EXAMINATION OF INSPECTION TESTING PARTICLES FOR THESE CRITICAL COMPONENTS TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE FAILURES ARE OCCURRING. THE KINCAID AND TOWER THAT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE COMMUTE FIRE WAS INSPECTED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES OVER THE LAST 24 MONTHS AND YET IT FAILED. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY AND NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT MITIGATING ACTIONS WE CAN TAKE TO ENSURE BOTH SYSTEM LIABILITIES MAINTAINED EVEN THROUGH PS PF EVENTS. ALL THIS RAISES IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO APPROACH SYSTEM MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION MOVING FORWARD IN AREAS THAT FACE SIGNIFICANT WILDFIRE THREAT. TRADITIONALLY SOME RISK OF THE MECHANICAL FAILURE WAS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE FAILURES TO OCCUR DURING WET WINTER STORMS BUT TODAY IN CALIFORNIA AT LEAST THE FAILURE FOR MANAGERS WORRY ABOUT IS MECHANICAL FAILURE WHEN IT IS WINDY, DRY AND THE FUELS ARE CURED. THESE CONDITIONS ARE HIGHLY INTOLERANT OF ANY FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND THIS CHANGE IN THE CONSEQUENCE OF FAILURE MODE MEANS TOLERANCE FOR ERRORS HAVE TO BE MUCH LOWER THAN THE COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACH DEVELOPED DURING THE 20thCENTURY. MOREOVER WHETHER CLIMATE CONDITIONS INDICATE THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL GET WORSE, NOT BETTER. IT'S LIKELY TO SPREAD BEYOND CALIFORNIA INTO A BROADER IMPACT ON THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. THE LEGISLATOR AND GOVERNOR NEWSOM HAVE WORKED RELATIVELY SUCCESSFULLY OVER THE LAST YEAR TO REDUCE THE PERCEIVED OF FINANCIAL RISKS OF THESE IMPACTS ON CUSTOMERS ON THE UTILITIES AND ON THE VICTIMS OF FIRES. I WOULD POINT TO PASSAGE OF THE WILDFIRE FUND LEGISLATION THIS SUMMER WHICH PROVIDED A POSSIBLE EXIT FOR PG&E OUT OF BANKRUPTCY AND HELP STABILIZE GAS AND ELECTRIC CREDIT RATINGS. ... REDUCING FUEL LOADS SO THE CONSEQUENCE OF OUR LIVES. I'M HOPEFUL. I AM HOPEFUL. HOPEFUL ABOUT LESSONS LEARNED CAN BE FRUITFUL FOR OTHER STATES AS THE WILDFIRE THREATS BOTH FROM THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM AND OTHER CAUSES INCREASES DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE. THANK YOU. 09:57:01 THANK YOU, CHAIRMAN MURKOWSKI, RANKING MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FOR HOLDING THE HEARING TODAY. DEDICATED TO SAFETY, RELIABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY, WILDFIRE STANDS OUT AS A MAJOR THREAT TO THE PRINCIPLES INTO SOMETHING THAT YOU. THE ASSOCIATION IS COMPRISED OF 158 CONSUMER OWNED ELECTRIC UTILITIES ACROSS THE REGION WITH LAND THAT'S MOSTLY UNDER FEDERAL OWNERSHIP IN MANY PLACES AND WHERE MANY OF THE LARGEST WILDFIRES THAT ARE. IF YOU LIVE IN THESE AREAS LATER YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS ARE IMPACTED ITS VERY REAL IN THESE AREAS AND TUCKED MY FATHER-IN-LAW WAS A SMOKE JUMPER IN THE 1960s IN OREGON AND STILL IS FOR WILDFIRES REACHED THE SUBURBAN NEIGHBORHOODS. THE COMMUNITIES AND THE GREATEST STABILITY OF THE MOBILIZED AND ANALYZED THE GAPS OF THE NEED FROM IMPLEMENTING PLANS THAT INCLUDE DOZENS OF ACTIONS ON TOPICS LIKE ENHANCED INSPECTIONS, OPERATIONAL PRACTICES, SITUATIONAL AWARENESS, VEGETATION MANAGEMENT, SYSTEM HARDENING, CIRCUIT RE- CLOSING AND OTHERS YOU WILL HEAR ABOUT TODAY. WE THANK YOU IN CONGRESS FOR YOUR WORK AND AT THIS ALL TAKES THIS ALL TAKES FUNDING SO WE THANK YOU FOR STABILIZING THE FEDERAL FUNDING. IT IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THIS EQUATION AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE GET THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK FOR THIS IMPERTINENT CAUSE. MEMBERS KNOW THE BEST WAY TO AVOID FIRE IS TO ELIMINATE FUEL FIRE IGNITION IN THE FIRST PLACE. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, DELAYS AND REMOVING TREES IN THE WIDENING CORRIDORS THAT ARE NO LONGER WIDE ENOUGH HAVE EXACERBATED THE CATASTROPHIC WILDFIRE. SOME WERE 80% OF THE LAND OWNED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. MANAGEMENT OF THE LAND DEMANDS A TRUTH PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN FEDERAL AGENCIES AND UTILITIES THAT NEED APPROVAL TO MAINTAIN THOSE RIGHTS OF WAY. TO THAT END WE THANK YOU FOR PASSING THE AMENDMENT FOR THE POLICY MANAGEMENT ACT TO PROMOTE FEDERAL CONSISTENCY ACCOUNTABILITY AND TIMELY DECISION-MAKING. NOW WE ARE LOOKING FOR CONSISTENT COORDINATED CLICK IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LAW AND WE APPRECIATE THE SERVICE RECENTLY ISSUING A PROPOSED RULE ON THIS. WE WILL REVIEW THESE BRIEF MEMOS BUT THEY SET THE TONE OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE LAW THAT CONGRESS INTENDED WHICH IS ENCOURAGING. WE HIGHLIGHT SEVERAL THINGS THAT THE AGENCY'S MOVE FORWARD TO ENSURE THE GREATEST SAFETY RELIABILITY AND RESILIENCE. WE NEED GUIDELINES THAT ELIMINATE THE NEED FOR THE CASE-BY-CASE APPROVALS FOR THE ROUTINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROL OF THE TREES AND I'D LIKE TO SEE A CULTURE OF RESPONSIVENESS. WE HAVE MANY GOOD RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE HARD-WORKING EMPLOYEES. THEY SHARE OUR GOAL WITH THE STEWARDSHIP OF THE FEDERAL LAND IS A MORE CONSISTENT STANDARDS IS GREAT FOR ALL SIDES EXCLUSIONS TO THE LENGTHY PROCESS UNDER THE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT FOR THE ROUTINE AND REGULAR WORK OF THE HAZARD TREE REMOVAL. WE NEED MORE TRAINING FOR AGENCY STAFF ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM KNOWLEDGE AND WE ARE READY TO PROVIDE IT AS THE WALL OUTLINES. WE'D LIKE TO SEE A STRAIGHTFORWARD IMPLEMENTATION OF ALLOWING THE QUICK ACTION. THIS IS VITAL TO THE DECISIVE ACTION TO PROTECT PEOPLE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE SEE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROVISIONS IN THE ACT ON THE LIABILITY. LIABILITY. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AND LAYERS OF THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL THAT UTILITIES NEED TO COMPLY WITH AND CREATE RISK AND EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT A UTILITY CAUSING EVENT WILL RECEIVE AN INVOICE FOR DAMAGES EVEN YEARS AFTERWARDS WITHOUT PROCESS. FINALLY, WE SHOULD BUILD ON THE COORDINATION WE ARE SEEING INCREASINGLY AMONG THE UTILITIES AND FEDERAL AND STATE AND LOCAL AGENT ON HOW TO PROTECT CRITICAL SYSTEMS AND WE STAND READY TO ASSIST ON THAT AS WELL. WE APPRECIATE YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THE COMMITTEE AND AND PRIORITIZED IN WILDFIRE PREVENTION AND SUPPRESSION AND THERE'S A LOT MORE TO DO AND THE FASTER WE ACT, THE BETTER. I'M GLAD TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AND PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THE RECORD OF YOUR REQUEST AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HAVING THE HEARING AND FOR BEING HERE TODAY. 10:02:05 GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO JOIN THE SESSION TODAY. MY NAME IS KARA LYNN AND I LEAD THE RESEARCH PROGRAM AT THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST NATIONAL LABORATORY IN WASHINGTON STATE. I ALSO HAVE THE HONOR OF SERVING AS THE CHAIR OF THE MODERNIZATION CONSORTIUM WHICH IS A TEAM OF 14 NATIONAL LABORATORY IS LED BY THE LABS THAT WORK WITH INDUSTRIES, STATE AND UNIVERSITY PARTNERS TO SUPPORT THE GRID MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE. FOR OVER TWO DECADES WE'VE SUPPORTED THE POWER SYSTEM RELIABILITY INNOVATION RESILIENCE FOR THE NATION DELIVERING WORKING WITH INDUSTRY TO DELIVER IMPORTANT OUTCOMES RANGING FROM CYBER RESILIENCE FOR THREE QUARTERS THE ELECTRICITY GENERATED IN THE UNITED STATES, NATIONAL NETWORKS INTEGRATED STORAGE CONCEPTS THAT ARE DELIVERING THE FLEXIBILITY WE NEED FOR THE RESILIENT SYSTEMS OF THE FUTURE. TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER THREE POINTS RELATED TO THE ISSUES FOR THE SESSION. NUMBER ONE THE GRID MODERNIZATION STRATEGY IS FOCUSED ON THE RELIABILITY AND HAZARD RESILIENCE FOR THE MODERN GRID SO THE FIRE FIGHTER SAFETY ISSUES ARE A PART OF THAT. INDUSTRY AND A DOD ARCHIVE IN A SYSTEMATICALLY IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP A VERY THAT DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE WILDFIRE ACTIVITY AND I WILL SHARE SOME OF THOSE DETAILS AND THEN THIRD THE NATION HAS THE OPPORTUNITY I BELIEVE MOVING FORWARD TO LEVERAGE THE RECENT INDUSTRY EXPERIENCES THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED SO FAR IN THE SESSION TO INFORM NEW PLANNING AND OPERATIONAL SCENARIOS TO BETTER REFLECT THE WILDFIRE IN ALL ASPECTS OF HOW THE SYSTEM IS PLANNED AND OPERATED COMING INTO THE FUTURE. FOR CLARITY I USE THE ACADEMY OF ENGINEERING DEFINITION OF RESILIENCE AS ANALYSIS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THEN IF AND WHEN THEY DO ACTUALLY OCCURRED. TO THE FIRST POINT, THE GRID MODERNIZATION INITIATIVE FOCUSES ON ALL HAZARD RESILIENCE AND ENABLES THE SYSTEM OPERATORS, FEDERAL LAND MANAGERS, STATES AND COMMUNITIES TO ADDRESS THE WILDFIRE RISK. THIS MEANS HUMAN THREATS LIKE CYBER AND PHYSICAL ATTACKS, SUCH AS HURRICANES AND WILDFIRES AND NORMAL SYSTEM RISKS OF EQUIPMENT FAILURES. THREE, TOPICS WITHIN THE PORTFOLIO ARE MOST ABUNDANT TO WILDFIRE. FIRST ADVANCED DATA ANALYTICS IN AND THE SECOND EXTREME EVENT PLANNING TOOLS AND THIRD, THE REAL-TIME OPERATIONAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE TOOLS DURING WILDFIRE EVENTS. THE TOOLS ARE FOUNDATIONAL THEY LEVERAGE SOME OF THESE DATA ASSETS AND THE MACHINE MACHINE LEARNING CONCEPTS PROVIDE THE CAPACITY TO ANALYZE HIGH VELOCITY DATA STREAMS. EXTREME EVENT PLANNING TOOLS ON THE CAPABILITY TO ACCESS THE COMPLEX AND LARGE THREAT SCENARIOS OF HAZARDS AGAIN IN THE THREAT SCENARIOS TO IDENTIFY THE MOST RESILIENT DESIGN OPTIONS IN THE FACE OF A SYSTEM THAT'S GETTING MORE VARIABLE, MORE CONNECTED AT THE EDGE, MORE INTERDEPENDENT WITH OTHER CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURES AND FACING MORE CHALLENGING THREATS. AND THE REAL-TIME OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS ARE PROVIDING OPERATORS WITH INSIGHTS ON THE RISKS AND DECISION SUPPORT THAT IS MOVING FROM THE PARADIGM OF THE HOURS AND DAYS AHEAD TO THE SECOND AND MINUTES AHEAD. REGARDING THE INDUSTRY ENGAGEMENT, THEY APPROACHED IN AUGUST REGARDING THE RESULTS THAT COULD SUPPORT INDUSTRY PREPARATIONS FOR THE 2020 FIRE SEASON. INDUSTRY EXPRESSED PARTICULAR INTEREST AND EXPERTISE INTO SATELLITE IMAGERY TO CONDUCT A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND THEY ALSO SAW THE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY TO DETECT AND PROTECT AGAINST IMMINENT FAILURE. THIRD, THEY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE DATA ANALYTICS TOOLS AND A RECENTLY DELIVERED A SET OF OPTIONS ABOUT 15 OR 20 OPTIONS TO THE INDUSTRY FOR CONSIDERATION. JUST A FEW EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE DEPRIVED CENSORS AND MACHINE ALGORITHMS TESTING. DHS DEVELOPED SATELLITE ASSESSMENT TOOLS FOR HURRICANES AND THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE PLATFORM FOR THE BIOMASS ASSESSMENT, DETECTION AND VEGETATION TYPES CURRENTLY DEPLOYED IN WASHINGTON STATE ARE EXTENDABLE TO OTHER HIGH-RISK NATIONAL FOREST AND RANGE AREAS IN THE WEST. AND LASTLY, EMERGENCY RESPONSE TOOLS FROM SANDIA AND OAK RIDGE FOR THE SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND EMERGENCY MAPPING OF A FINALLY, THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF RESILIENCE REPORTED IN 2017 ENCOURAGED INDUSTRY TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE THAN FRAMING THE RESILIENCE SCENARIOS AGAINST WHICH THE GRID OF THE FUTURE NEEDS TO BE DESIGNED. I BELIEVE INDUSTRY COORDINATION TO DEVELOP THE ELECTRICITY SUB SECTOR COORDINATING COUNCIL TO ENSURE THE CONNECTION IN THE INVESTOR REALMAND THEINVESTOR REALM AND PUBLIC ENTITIES AND IN THE RECENT WILDFIRE LESSONS WITH THE AGENDA TO DELIVER THE BLUE RIBBON CASES AND SCENARIOS THAT WOULD ENHANCE THE INDUSTRY EFFORTS TO MITIGATE AND PROTECT AGAINST WILDFIRE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 10:07:30 THANK YOU MR. INHOFE. WELCOME TO THE COMMITTEE. 10:07:34 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE INVITATION TO BE HERE. I AM HERE TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO PREVENT POWERLINE CAUSED WILDFIRES. ON A DECEMBER DAY, AND THESE ARE REAL EXAMPLES FROM ACTUAL UTILITIES, TO ELECTRIC POWER LINES CAME TOGETHER AND CLASHED. THEY BROKE THE LINE. IT WAS CHRISTMAS, DECEMBER 25. THE LINES WENT OUT ON HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS JUST AS DINNER WENT INTO THE OVEN. POWER WAS OFF FOR HOURS. MEDALS THROWN OFF FROM THE CONDUCTORS AND THANKFULLY A FIRE DIDN'T START ON THAT SPECIFIC DAY, BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE LOST CHRISTMAS DINNER BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET TO IT. WHAT UTILITY OPERATORS DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT EVENT WAS THIS COLONCO THAT CHRISTMAS DAY OUTAGE WAS CAUSED BY AN EVENT THAT HAD OCCURRED FIVE TIMES IN EXACTLY THE SAME PLACE OVER THE PREVIOUS FOUR YEARS. THAT WAS THE FIFTH TIME THAT EVENT HAD OCCURRED. ON TOW NOW, NO SYSTEM WAS AVAILABLE BUT ANY UTILITY COULD USE TO AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDE OPERATORS THE INFORMATION NECESSARY TO FIND AND FIX THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM. REGULAR INSPECTIONS BY THE UTILITY HAD FOUND ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND IT HAD BEEN INSPECTED MULTIPLE TIMES. IN FACT, IT HAS BEEN INSPECTED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINDING WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED. REPETITIVE FAULTS THAT OCCUR ONE DAY MAY START A FIRE THE NEXT TIME THEY OCCUR. SOMETIMES THAT'S YEARS FROM NOW, AND THE ULTIMATE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN PREDICTED. TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY DEVELOPED A DISTRIBUTION FAULT ANTICIPATION TECHNOLOGY. A SYSTEM USED ALGORITHMS TO MONITOR ELECTRIC CIRCUITS TO DETECT THE EARLIEST STAGES OF FAILING DEVICES AND MISS OPERATIONS. THE CONCEPT IS SIMPLE. FIND AND FIX IT BEFORE THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE CAUSES THE FIRE OR THE OUTAGE. WHEN THIS OCCURS TODAY COMING UTILITIES HAVE THE DAY COMING UTILITIES HAVE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT THAT VERY QUICKLY MAYBE IN A FEW HUNDRED MILLISECONDS THE ENERGIZED AS THE POWER LINES, BUT THE FAULT MAY HAVE ALREADY CAUSED THE FIRE. THAT'S THE BEST THEY CAN DO WITH THE EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE. THE ROOT CAUSE MAY HAVE STARTED DAYS OR WEEKS AND IN SOME CASES YEARS BEFORE THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE CAUSED THE FIRE. DIGITAL ANALYTICS CAN NOW DETECT THE EARLIEST STAGES OF A DEVICE LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. INSTEAD OF WAITING TO REACT TO THE FAILURE, LET'S FIND AND FIX IT EARLY. EARLY. TEXAS A&M RESEARCHERS MONITOR FOR OVER 100 CIRCUITS 100 CIRCUITS IN THE LONGITUDINAL STUDY FOR OVER 15 YEARS, CAPTURING EVERY FAILURE AND MISS OPERATION ON THE CIRCUITS. THE LARGEST DATABASE OF ITS EXISTENCE IN THE WORLD. WE NOW KNOW HOW THOSE WITH HER AND WE NOW KNOW HOW THEY CAN BE DETECTED. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE, ANOTHER EXAMPLE. A FAILING CLAMP LIKE THIS ONE THAT DID FAIL BY THE WAY CAUSED A POWER LINE TO FALL TO THE GROUND CAUSING AN OUTAGE FOR HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS THAT HAPPENED IN TENNESSEE. I DON'T REMEMBER IF ANYBODY HEARS FROM TENNESSEE. IT WAS A POTENTIAL MECHANISM ONCE IT HIT THE GROUND. WITH THE UTILITY OPERATORS DID NOT KNOW IS THAT FOR THE PREVIOUS 21 DAYS BEFORE IT CAUSED THE WIND DEFAULT, A CONDITION HAD OCCURRED 2,333 TIMES. IN THE LAST HALF OF THE 21 DAYS, EVERY ONE OF THOSE CONDITIONS REPRESENTED IN A COMMISSION MECHANISM OF THE GROUND CONDITIONS WERE CORRECT SO LET'S CALL IT AN AVERAGE OF TEN DAYS AND SOMETHING ON THE ORDER OF 1200 EVENTS FROM EACH ONE OF THOSE HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO START A FIRE. WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, TEXAS A&M RESEARCHERS WERE ABLE TO DETECT THAT CLAMP THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IN THE VERY FIRST MOMENTS OF THE FIRST DAY 21 DAYS BEFORE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. WE RAN A BLIND STUDY. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WE WERE DOING THIS AND OPERATIONALLY THEY JUST LET US GO OUT AND PUT THIS ON THE SYSTEM. SO WE WERE NOT GOING FOR 21 DAYS. BY 1950 CHEVROLET DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING IN IT THAT TOLD ME THAT IT WAS BROKEN OR THAT IT WAS GOING TO BREAK. IT STOPS WHEN IT STOPPED RUNNING. TODAY WE HAVE A COMPUTER UNDER THE THAT TELLS US THESE THINGS ARE GOING TO HAPPEN TO YOU AND SOMETIME YOU BETTER GET IN AND GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BREAK YOUR CAR IN A DAY OR TWO OR A WEEK OR THREE. IN MEDICINE WE NOW USE ADVANCED DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT TO FIGHT CANCER EARLY SO THAT CAN BE CURED LONG BEFORE CATASTROPHE. WE'VE GOT AN ANALOGY HERE TO THE DISTRIBUTION CIRCUITS. AND THAT IS A NEW TOOL ALLOWING OPERATORS TO HAVE CONTINUAL SELF-ASSESSMENT OF ALL CIRCUITS 24/7 TO IDENTIFY THE DEVICES AND FIX THEM BEFORE CATASTROPHIC FAILURES OCCUR OR CAUSE AN OUTAGE OR CAUSE A FIRE. IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO KNOW NO TECHNOLOGY OR PROGRAM IS EVER GOING TO PREVENT ALL VOYEURS. THAT'S JUST NOT POSSIBLE. BUT WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS USE EVERY TOOL THAT IS AVAILABLE TO US TO PREVENT EVERY FIRE THAT WE POSSIBLY CAN BECAUSE SOME OF THOSE FIRES OF COURSE ARE DEVASTATING. THE REALITY IS THIS TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY OPERATING ON DIFFERENT UTILITIES WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY HAS DEMONSTRATED THAT A NEW TOOL CAN FIND AND FIX AND DIAGNOSE AND HELP YOU LOCATE MANY OF THE THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY CAUSING FIRES. I PULL UP ON MY PHONE AND PUT IN A CODE I PULL UP A PICTURE AND I WILL GIVE YOU THAT ON THE SUBSTATION IN AUSTRALIA ON THE SUBSTATION A COMMON CIRCUIT A, THE FAULT OCCURRED 335 AMPS REPLACED ITSELF AND ULTIMATELY ENDED UP CLOSING AT 12:55. I KNOW MORE FROM THIS PHONE WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY STAND THE OPERATORS KNOW IN THAT FUTILITY IN AUSTRALIA AND I'M SITTING HERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C.. THIS TECHNOLOGY IS AVAILABLE AND READY TO USE AND IT WILL PREVENT SOME PLAYERS. THIS HAS BEEN VERY INTERESTING KIND OF THE PROGRESSION OF THE TESTIMONY THIS MORNING. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT REAL ISSUES ON THE GROUND THAT HAVE HAD A DEVASTATING IMPACT, LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY THAT HAS BEEN HORRIFIC AND AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HOW WE DEAL WITH THE VEGETATION AND MANAGEMENT DECIDED TO THEN MOVE TO THE TECHNOLOGY ON PREVENTION IS A GOOD WAY TO HAVE THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE THE COMMITTEE. MR. JOHNSON, I WANT TO BEGIN WITH YOU AND THIS RELATES TO THE SITUATION AS IT IS NOW IN THE FACT THAT DURING THIS FIRE SEASON THEY HAD TO EMPLOY A SAFETY SHUTOFF TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE WAS A LEVEL OF SAFETY AND CERTAINLY IT INTERFERES WITH THAT RELIABILITY THAT A CUSTOMER EXPECTS THAT THE REALITY THAT THE REALITY THAT SOMETIMES YOU'VE GOT TO PRIORITIZE BETWEEN THE RELIABILITY VERSUS THE RESILIENCE AND TRULY THE SAFETY. THERE'S NOBODY ON THE COMMITTEE FROM CALIFORNIA SO I WILL ASK THE QUESTION THAT CALIFORNIANS PROBABLY WANT TO KNOW, AND THAT IS IN TERMS OF IMPACT TO CUSTOMERS GOING FORWARD, HOW LONG DO YOU ANTICIPATE THAT PG&E WILL HAVE TO RESORT TO ADDITIONAL EVENTS? THAT IMPACT I THINK IT WAS VIEWED ASYOUTHAT MENTIONED THE FINANCIAL IMPACT TO THE COMMUNITIES. IT IS REAL AND TANGIBLE AND VERY PERSONAL SO CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT IMPACT OF THE SITUATION? 10:16:11 I CAN GIVE YOU AN ESTIMATE AND BE AS PRECISE AS I CAN. IT GOES BACK TO THE EARLY 2,007 CALIFORNIA AND REALLY IT'S AFTER THE FIRES OF 2007 IN SAN DIEGO AND GAS AND ELECTRIC. 12 YEARS LATER THEY ARE STILL DOING THESE EVENTS. I THINK FOR US IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IT'LL TAKE IS PROBABLY FIVE YEARS TO GET TO THE POINT THAT WE CAN LARGELY ELIMINATE THIS TOOL. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THINGS WE CAN DO TO NARROW THE SCOPE AND DURATION. WE HAVE BETTER PREDICTIVE CAPABILITIES, BETTER TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU HEARD ABOUT. SO, I THINK OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS YOU WILL SEE A PROGRESSION OF SHORTER AND FEWER EVENTS. BUT THE CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE WEATHER CHANGE IS DRAMATIC ENOUGH I DON'T THINK WE WILL SEE THE END OF IT FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME. 10:17:12 I MENTIONED THE SITUATION IN ALASKA WITH THE FIRES THIS SUMMER THE WINDS COMING THROUGH TO THE PENINSULA AREA THAT WERE IMPACTED BY THE FIRE IN THE REGION AND IT HAS LIMITED THE ABILITY TO MOVE THE POWER FROM BRADLEY LAKE HYDRO ALL THE WAY UP TO FAIRBANK SO THOSE THAT ARE CLOSER TO THE SOURCE IF YOU WILL, THERE RATE WILL NOT BE IMPACTED IF YOU WILL, BUT WE ARE LEARNING THAT AS WE ARE GOING INTO THE COLDER DARKER WINTER MONTHS IN THE INTERIOR OF THE COSTS ARE ALREADY HIGH, THIS IS IMPACTING THEM AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I THINK OFTEN TIMES WE FORGET YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE RANGE OF THE FIRE TO HAVE YOUR GREAT IMPACTED BY WHAT WE ARE SEEING WITH THESE SIGNIFICANT EVENT. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT HARDENING THE GRID, WE KNOW THAT IT WOULD CERTAINLY ELIMINATE SOME OF THE RISKS OF DOWNED LINES BECAUSE OF FIRE, BUT THE COST IS CONSIDERABLE. YOU'RE IN CALIFORNIA WHICH IS A SEISMICALLY PRONE AREA. YOU DID MENTION THOUGH THAT UNDERGROUND AND WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING AT. CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE MORE TO THAT AND WHETHER THAT IS EVEN VIABLE? 10:18:51 HISTORICALLY UNDERGROUND IN WAS USUALLY FOR AESTHETIC PURPOSES. IN DOWNTOWN YOU WANTED TO BEAUTIFY YOU TO THE LINES UNDERGROUND AND IN RECENT YEARS AS WE BUILD SUBSTATION SUBDIVISIONS AND OTHER THINGS MORE UNDERGROUND, AND WE DO PLAN TO UNDERGROUND MORE IN CALIFORNIA DISTRIBUTION LINES. YOU GET TO A CERTAIN VOLTAGE AND YOU CANNOT UNDERGROUND IT. THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE A COMPLETE ANSWER AS YOU POINT OUT OUT. WHEN THE LINE IS UNDERGROUND AND YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT IS MUCH HARDER TO FIND A PROBLEM THEN WHEN IT'S OVERHEAD SO THERE WILL BE MORE OF THIS BUT IT WILL BE MUCH MORE TARGETED AND IT WON'T BE A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE LINES. 10:19:34 I HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE EVERYBODY GO AROUND. SENATOR MANCHIN? 10:19:47 I WANT TO THANK ALL OF OUR PRESENTERS TODAY. I WILL GIVE THE REST OF MY QUESTIONS TO YOU RIGHT NOW BECAUSE PG&E IS KNOWN AND WE AGREED AT A MEETING YESTERDAY AND YOU WERE FORTHCOMING AND SAYING THE RESPONSIBILITIES YOU TOOK ON THE BANKRUPTCY, COMING OUT OF BANKRUPTCY AND WITH THE DIFFERENT PEOPLE THAT WERE CONCERNED AND BASICALLY AFFECTED BY THESE FIRES. NOTHING THAT WE SAY WILL BRING BACK THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE LOST AND I KNOW THAT YOU SHARE YOUR GRIEF ON THAT. WHERE ARE YOU FINANCIALLY GOING TO MAKE IT ARE YOU GOING TO SURVIVE AND BE AROUND TO SERVE YOUR CUSTOMERS? WHERE ARE YOU AS FAR AS UPGRADING THE APARTMENT AND MAKING THE CHANGES? I THINK THAT IT HAD SOME GREAT COMMENTS AND ALSO TECHNOLOGY THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL IF YOU CAN GIVE US JUST A RUN DOWN FINANCIALLY WHERE YOU ARE AT AND WHERE THE FAMILIES ARE WHERE THE COMPANY IS COME AND WHERE YOU ARE ON YOUR INCOME AND UPGRADES TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN PREVENT AS MUCH AS HUMANLY POSSIBLE FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN. 10:21:01 THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTIONS. I CAME HERE BY ABOUT SEVEN, EIGHT, MONTHS AGO. I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A BANKRUPT SITUATION BEFORE. WE ARE NOW THE WIKIPEDIA OF BANKRUPTCY SO I CAN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS. WE'VE TAKEN THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP, WHICH IS TO RESOLVE TO SETTLE TO MAKE AMENDS TO THE VICTIMS THAT LOST LOVED ONES OR LOST THEIR HOME, SO WE'VE MADE SETTLEMENTS AND THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS APPROVED ALL THE SETTLEMENTS WITH PEOPLE THE OWN MONEY TO. THAT IS THE KEY THING. THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT HAVE TO HAPPEN IN BANKRUPTCY. WE'VE LINED UP THE FINANCING TO FINANCE A NEW ENTITY WHEN IT COMES OUT THAT THERE IS STILL A LOT OF WORK AND WHO THE EVENTUAL OWNER IS WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT BUT AT LEAST IN MY MIND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HAS HAPPENED WHICH IS WE HAVE MADE AMENDS TO THE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THESE FIRES. IN TERMS OF, BY THE WAY IN THE CALIFORNIA LAW, WE HAVE TO BE OUT BY THE END OF JUNE NEXT YEAR SO WE WILL KNOW THE ANSWER PRETTY QUICKLY ABOUT WHAT IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE. WE'VE DONE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK AND THIS YEAR ALONE WE EXPECTED EVERYONE IN THE DISTRICT TO REPAIR FOR NEEDED REPAIRED AND ON A PRIORITY BASIS. WE LOOKED AT EVERY SUBSTATION WE ARE INSTALLING AND REGARDING VEGETATION MANAGEMENT. HISTORICALLY THE VEGETATION MANAGEMENT TOOLS IN CALIFORNIA WERE PRETTY RESTRICTIVE. THEY HAVE BEEN LOOSENED SO WE ARE CLEARING UP A LOT MORE. WE ARE DOING ABOUT EVERYTHING WE CAN AND WE ARE ADOPTING THE TECHNOLOGY FROM THE NATIONAL LAB IN FROM TEXAS A AND M. AND FROM AUSTRALIA, SO WE ARE SORT OF OPERATING ON ALL FRONTS TO MAKE THE SYSTEM SAFER AND MORE RESILIENT. 10:22:53 DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THAT AS FAR AS YOU HAVE BEEN EVALUATING AND IS THERE ANY OTHER PANEL OF COMMENTS BECAUSE IT'S BEEN THE MOST DEVASTATING THING THEY HAVE EVER SEEN AND OUR HEART GOES OUT TO EVERY EVERY BECOME A FAMILY MEMBER THAT'S LOST A LOVED ONE. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH MR. JOHNSON BASICALLY SAYING THEY WERE AT FAULT AND THE COMPANY WAS AT FAULT AND EVEN THOUGH HE'S NEW TO THIS, THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE AMENDS AND MAKE THEM CORRECT. WE WILL SEE HOW THIS ENDS UP, BUT IS THERE ANY MORE THAT CAN BE DONE OR OTHER ACTIONS TAKEN? 10:23:32 THERE IS MORE THAT CAN BE DONE NOT BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN USING STATE-OF-THE-ART GOVERNMENT AVAILABLE TO THEM, THAT IS AN IMPORTANT POINT. YOU HEAR THIS IN THE PAPERS WE'VE HEARD SOME BACK FROM WORLD WAR II. WE BUILD VERY RIGOROUS POWER SYSTEMS IN THE UNITED STATES. THEY ARE MEANT TO LAST FOR DECADES AND DECADES. THERE ARE LINES OUTSIDE OF OUR HOUSE BUT HAVE BEEN THERE SINCE THE 1940s THAT ARE STILL DELIVERING POWER AND FRANKLY THERE ISN'T MUCH WRONG WITH THEM BECAUSE IT IS PROBABLY BETTER THAN WHAT WE PUT UP TODAY. YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL TALKING ABOUT AGE AND A POWER SYSTEM BECAUSE THEY ARE MEANT TO LAST A LONG TIME. YOU CAN HAVE A POWER SYSTEM THAT WILL COME DOWN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY TOMORROW IN A VEGETATION RELATED INCIDENT THAT WOULD HAVE IF IT HAD BEEN 20 OR 30 YEARS STRATFORD AT WHAT IS MORE THAT WE CAN DO? 10:24:25 WE NEED TO USE ADVANCED DIAGNOSTICS. EVERYTHING EVERYBODY SAYS THEY WANT TO DO IS GOOD. CLEAR MORE TREES, HARDEN THE SYSTEM CAN'T USE STRONGER POLES, ALL THOSE ARE GOOD THINGS. I WILL TELL YOU BECAUSE I'VE I'VE LIVED ALL OF THE FIRES IN CALIFORNIA THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT AS WHAT WAS IN TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA AND OTHER PLACES, MANY OF THE THINGS WE ARE DOING ARE NOT ADDRESSING THE IMPORTANT THINGS CAUSING THE FIRES. SPENDING AN AWFUL LOT OF MONEY, WE SHOULD, DON'T TAKE IT TO SAY WE SHOULDN'T BECAUSE THE ONE THING THAT YOU DO MAY PREVENT THE BIGGEST FIRE THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO HAVE. BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF FIRES NONE OF THE HARDENING IS GOING TO FIX. WE NEED MORE DIAGNOSTICS. THEY ARE ABLE TODAY TO DIAGNOSE YOUR CAR, ABLE TO DIAGNOSE YOUR CONDITION AND HEALTH OF YOUR BODY AND WE CAN MOST CERTAINLY DIAGNOSE IN REAL-TIME A LOT OF THINGS FAILING THE POWER SYSTEMS. 10:25:20 THANK YOU VERY MUCH MADAM CHAIR. 10:25:23 RANKING MEMBER MANSION. A DEAD AND DYING TREES POWERLINES CAN INCREASE THE SEVERITY OF WILDFIRES AND PUTS THE SAFETY OF THE FIREFIGHTERS AT RISK. IN FACT LAST YEAR'S UNSPEAKABLE TRAGEDY WHERE 85 LIVES WERE SUDDENLY LOST BUT WE NEED TO FOCUS ON THE DANGEROUS INTERACTIONS THAT CAN TAKE PLACE BETWEEN THE HAZARDOUS FOREST CONDITIONS AND ELECTRICAL TRANSITION INFRASTRUCTURE. IN FACT GOING BACK TO MONTANA'S TERRIBLE FIRE SEASON IN 2017, I REMEMBER REACHING OUT TO ONE OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS. HE SHARED A STARTLING STORY WITH ME ABOUT FIREFIGHTERS AND THE RISK THAT THEY COULD NOT TAKE OF PUTTING FIREFIGHTERS NEAR HIGH-VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINES BECAUSE OF THE CARBON EMITTED AND IT COULD COME FROM THE LINE TO THE GROUND AND AT THAT POINT THAT BATTLE IS ALMOST LOST. WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE PROACTIVE IN MANAGING THE VEGETATION ALONG THE HIGH-VOLTAGE LINES THAT WHEN THE FIRE STARTS, HE SAID WE CAN'T MOVE OUR FIREFIGHTERS NEAR THAT. LIVES ARE AT RISK BECAUSE OF THE EIFFEL PITCHED WHINES. -- HIGH-VOLTAGE LINES. WE MUST INCREASE ACTIVE FOREST MANAGEMENT. 10:27:17 A DEMOCRAT FROM CALIFORNIA AMONG OTHER MAJOR REFORMS. TO RECEIVE THE NECESSARY PERMITS TO REMOVE HAZARDOUS VEGETATION. 10:28:04 THANK YOU, SENATOR. THANK YOU AGAIN TO YOUR COMMITTEE AND THE CONGRESS FOR PASSING THAT, BUT YOU STILL HAVE A LARGE WORKLOAD OF AGENCIES THAT CAN CREATE TIME DELAY IS GOING THROUGH THE PROCESS. WHEN YOU PAY WITH YOUR OWN THIRD-PARTY ANALYSIS. DOCTOR RUSSELL, MY REMAINING TIME. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME BY THE COMMISSIONER. 10:30:09 OFTEN IT OCCURS TO THE LIES LIES AT THE TOP THAT CREATES ANOTHER FAULT CONDITION ON THE COVER SYSTEM. HAVING A FIREFIGHTER STANDING IN A TOP IS A LITTLE MUCH BUT THEY ARE GOING TO PUT IT UP SO IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. 10:30:54 IF SOMETHING HAPPENS THERE IS A FAULT. AREN'T THERE THOSE DEVICES THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY TRIP THAT LINE SO THAT IT DOESN'T CONTINUE TO FEED THE FIRE? 10:31:23 THERE IS QUESTIONS THERE LET ME TAKE THEM IN THE ORDER. THE DEVICE THAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR BATHROOM IS 7 MILLION IS APPROXIMATELY ITS GOT A VERY, VERY LOW INITIAL CURRENT AND IT'S NOT DETECTED BY ANY ADVICE IT'S OPERATING AT 5 MILLION MIKE BATHROOM WHICH IS LOWER SO IT COULDN'T DETECT. THAT IS A PROBLEM. THE THINGS WE ARE USING TODAY ARE LOOKING FOR HIGHER OCCURRENCE. CAN THIS BE ENGINEERED? WE HAVE A DEVICE THAT INFORMS US BUT HOW ABOUT ENGINEERING A DEVICE THAT WILL TRIP THE CIRCUIT? 10:32:14 TRIPPING THE CIRCUIT WOULD BE THE DIRECT CONSEQUENCE OF THE FIRST BEING ABLE TO DETECT IT. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO DETECT IT AND WE ALREADY KNOW HOW TO TRIP THE CIRCUITS SO INTEGRATING THIS INTO THE SYSTEM OF COURSE IS A PLAN THAT HAS TO BE DONE. UTILITIES ARE USING GOOD EQUIPMENT ONCE IT BECOMES HIGHER CURRENT. PG AND E. EQUIPMENT WHICH I'M FAMILIAR WITH BOTH DETECT DETECT DEFAULT IN A FEW HUNDRED MILLISECONDS. THE PROBLEM IS IT CAN START AT 16. BASED ON THE RESEARCH DONE IN AUSTRALIA IT SHOWS INTEN TO 20 MILLISECONDS. WE DON'T HAVE EQUIPMENT TODAY THAT COULD REMOTELY DO THAT. THE LAST PART OF THE QUESTION MOST LINES THAT ARE DROPPED, CAN WE DETECT THEM BEFORE THEY HIT THE GROUND, THERE'S WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE AND EXPERIMENTED WITH. A GOOD FRIEND OF MINE RAN THAT PROJECT. IT'S A WONDERFUL THING TO DO, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THIS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT IF WE CAN DO IT. THE WIND DROPS, CUT IT OFF BEFORE IT HITS THE GROUND. BUT WHAT CAUSED IT TO FALL IN THE FIRST PLACE IT MAY HAVE BEEN WHAT WAS DETECTABLE DAYS BEFORE. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY THAT WILL KEEP US FROM HAVING -- 10:33:45 IT WAS IMPORTANT TESTIMONY. LET ME ASK ANOTHER QUESTION. IS THIS SORT OF A CHICKEN AND EGG ARE THESE PROBLEMS IN CALIFORNIA CAUSED BY FAILURES FAILURES IN THE PRESENCE OF A LOT OF FUEL OR ARE THEY CAUSED BY THE WEATHER EVENT THAT CREATED THE FUEL IN OTHER WORDS IS IT WAITING IT WANED, SOMETHING THAT CAUSES IT OR COULD THE KIND OF TECHNOLOGY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE OBVIATE THE PROBLEM OR IS IT A DIFFERENT PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE CLIMATE ISSUES? 10:34:28 YOU COULD HAVE A SYSTEM WORKING WELL IN THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION WITH THE 100-MILE PER HOUR WIND AND YOU HAVE A FIRE SO IT IS A WEATHER RELATED. IT IS A WEATHER EVENT, SO AS THE TECHNOLOGY WOULD HELP BECAUSE THE CENTER HAS BLOWN THROUGH THE LINE, IT WOULD SHUT THE LINE OFF. THE OTHER THING HERE IS JUST SO DRY. I MOVED TO CALIFORNIA IN APRIL AND IT DIDN'T RAIN UNTIL THANKSGIVING, EIGHT MONTHS WITH NO BRAIN. ONE SPARK. IT'S JUST A SPARK. ANYTHING THAT WOULD STOP THE CURRENT IMMEDIATELY WOULD BE A TREMENDOUSLY HELPFUL TECHNOLOGY. 10:35:28 THERE IS AN UNDERTONE TO THIS AND THAT IS QUITE A CHANGE. WE TALKED ABOUT A LOT AROUND HERE IN ABSTRACT TERMS GOING TO BE MEETING ON IT IN A HALF AN HOUR BUT HERE IS A DIRECT DOLLARS AND CENTS IMPACT AFFECTING THE CONSUMER'S INDIVIDUAL'S FAMILIES, LIVES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND ADDRESSING THAT PROBLEM IF SHOWS UP IN THE 140 MILLION DEAD TREES BECAUSE OF DROUGHT. THE INCREASE IN WIND SPEED AND DIRECTION THIS IS A CLIMATE DRIVEN EXPERIENCE. 10:36:12 THANK YOU. VERY IMPORTANT TESTIMONY. 10:36:22 THE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE WITNESSES THIS MORNING, MR. JOHNSON GOT TALKING ABOUT THE IMPACT THAT YOU'VE SEEN IN CALIFORNIA YOU'VE SEEN MUNICIPAL LOANLOAN COOPERATIVE'S INVESTOR UTILITIES THAT FACED THE SAME KIND OF QUESTIONS OBVIOUSLY. IN YOUR TESTIMONY YOU MENTIONED OVER 50% OF YOUR SERVICE AREA IS DESIGNATED IN THE THREAT. COULD YOU REMIND ME AGAIN THAT FOOTPRINT IN THE THAT PART OF THE SERVICE AREA? 10:36:54 WE COVER ABOUT 70,000 SQUARE MILES IN CALIFORNIA. HALF OF THAT IS IN THE HIGHER THREAT DISTRICTS TO 35,000 SQUARE MILES AND 30,000 LINEAR MILES OF LINE AND ABOUT A THIRD IN THAT DESIGNATION ARE IN THE FEDERAL LAND. 10:37:13 THAT GETS INTO THE ISSUE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AS WELL AND PRACTICES BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE THREAT THAT COULD COME FROM MORE FUEL AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES MATTER OR THE LACK OF MANAGEMENT PRACTICES TO THE COMPANY'S TRANSMISSION INFRASTRUCTURE YOU WOULD AGREE WITH THAT. 10:37:37 IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. AS YOU TALK AND LISTEN TO SOME OF THE TESTIMONY THIS MORNING COMMUTE $3.8 BILLION THE CITIZENS WHEN? 10:37:49 THE LAST DECADE. 10:37:53 AND THAT IS IN YOUR OWN RIGHT OF WAY. DURING THE FARM BILL NEGOTIATIONS WE TALKED ABOUT THIS WE HAD SOME SUCCESS ACROSS THE AISLE ON THE PROGRAM THAT ALLOWED FOR THE MITIGATION TO WORK ON FEDERAL LANDS AND AS GOOD A JOB AS OF A JOB AS YOU DO WITHIN THAT RIGHT-OF-WAY WITH THE MASSIVE FIRE BURNS IN THE FOREST 50 YARDS FROM THE TRANSMISSION LINES THAT IS GOING TO HAVE AN EFFECT ON YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE AS WELL. THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE AFFECTED SO IT MAKES SENSE TO TRY TO EMPOWER THEM TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH OUTSIDE OF THAT TO GIVE A BIT OF A BUFFER WOULD YOU AGREE? IN COLORADO THEY ARE WORKING TO PARTNER WITH THE FOREST SERVICE TO UTILIZE THE AUTHORITY WE HAVE GIVEN. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE THE OPPORTUNITIES TO HELP PROTECT AGAINST THE THREAT IN LINE WITH WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT? 10:38:55 THE BILL THAT WAS PASSED EITHER LAST YEAR OR THE YEAR BEFORE THAT YOU MENTIONED WAS A HOPEFUL BILL IN TERMS OF THE MANAGEMENT ACCESS TO FEDERAL LAND, A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT GO ALONG WITH MAKING SURE THE RULES THAT COME OUT ARE CONTINUED FUNDING OF THOSE THINGS AND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS. THE AGENCIES HAVE SHOWN A LOT MORE INTEREST WORKING WITH US SINCE THE BILL WAS PASSED AND SO WE HAVE AGREEMENTS NOW WITH THE INTERIOR I THINK WE ARE WORKING ON A MASTER AGREEMENT WE MASTER AGREEMENT WE DON'T HAVE TO COME IN EVERY YEAR SO I THINK ALL OF THAT IS MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. 10:39:38 DOCTOR RUSSELL WAS TALKING TO SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGIES. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT THE PRACTICALITY COST IMPACT AND WHAT IT NEEDS TO HAVE TO TRIP THE KIND OF TECHNOLOGIES TO SHUT OFF THE THRIFT? 10:39:52 ONE OF THE THINGS WE WORRY ABOUT IS PUBLIC AFFORDABILITY IS AND HOW DO YOU BALANCE SAFETY, COST, ALL THESE THINGS SO WE ARE DOING SMALL PILOTS WITH THE TECHNOLOGIES WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW WELL THEY WORK AND DO THEDOTHE WORK IN OUR CONDITIONS AND IF THEY DO, WE COULD DEPLOY THOSE AND REDUCE THE OTHER THINGS WE ARE DOING LIKE CUTTING DOWN FEWER TREES BUT IT'S TOO EARLY FOR US TO KNOW NEVADA IS ONE OF THE DRIEST STATES AND THE AVERAGE RAINFALL IS ABOUT 8.945 INCHES. WE HAVE WILDFIRES ALL YEAR LONG AND SO THE CHALLENGE THAT WE HAVE COMING AND THAT'S WHY I APPRECIATE THIS CONVERSATION. BUT WE START WITH DOCTOR INHOFE AND FOLLOW ON WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS TECHNOLOGY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT IS A GAME CHANGER AND I GUESS MY FIRST QUESTION TO YOU IS HOW ACCESSIBLE IS IT INTO THE AFFORDABILITY FOR THE UTILITIES ARE WE IN THE BEGINNING STAGES. WE'VE BEEN TESTING THIS ON A NUMBER OF UTILITIES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. WE STARTED AT THE STATE LEGISLATURE OF TEXAS AFTER THE 2011 WILDFIRE FUNDED PROJECT THAT I HEADED FROM 2012 TO 2016 WE RAN A FOUR YEAR PROJECT WITH THEWITHTHE VENUE TO DISPLACING THE TECHNOLOGY TO DETERMINE HOW EFFECTIVE IT WOULD BE. IT WAS EXTRAORDINARILY EFFECTIVE. SEVERAL ARE ROLLING THIS OUT RIGHT NOW. THE LARGEST CO-OP I THINK IN THE UNITED STATES AND CENTRAL TEXAS IS ROLLING THIS OUT ON THEIR SYSTEM. THEY ALREADY HAVE QUITE A MEMBER NUMBER OF THE UNITS INSTALLED. IT WORKS, IT'S AVAILABLE AND IT'S NO LONGER SOMETHING THAT IS IN A LABORATORY. IT'S BEEN AVAILABLE NOW FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT WAS ROLLED OUT SOFTLY SORULED OUTSOFTLY SO WE COULD DETERMINE HOW TO BEST ROLL IT INTO THE UTILITY INDUSTRY. FOR FIVE TO $10 A CUSTOMER FOR THE TYPICAL CIRCUIT FOR ABOUT A THREE YEAR PAYOUT, YOU CAN INSTALL ONE BOX THAT ISN'T MUCH BIGGER THAN THIS ON THE CIRCUIT AND IT TAKES CARE OF IF YOU HAVE 2,000 CUSTOMERS IT'S MONITORING 2,000 CUSTOMERS. 10:42:21 THANK YOU. 10:42:22 I WOULD ADD TO THAT, SENATOR, IN SAN DIEGO, THE INSTANCE OF FALLING POWER LINES YOU NEED TO EAT ENERGIZED ABOUT 1.3 SECONDS TYPICALLY. SAN DIEGO GAS AND ELECTRIC IS WORKING WITH OUR NATURE THAN ARE OUT OF WASHINGTON TO TEST THAT. IT'S HAD EARLY SUCCESS AND THEY'VE BEGUN INSTALLING IT ON A SMALL FRACTION OF CIRCUITS. SOME OF THE HIGHEST RISK OF CIRCUITS AND I KNOW I WENT TO THE WILDFIRE CONFERENCE IN SAN DIEGO IN OCTOBER AND ALL OF THE UTILITIES ARE WORKING TOGETHER ON MAPPING THE RISK AND IDENTIFYING THE PRIORITY IS FOR TESTING SOME OF THESE NEW CONCEPTS. OBVIOUSLY YOU WILL START WITH A HIGH RISK AREAS CONSULATES COMING OUT OF THE LABORATORY AND THE VENDORS ARE INVOLVED SO THAT INDICATES A REASONABLY SHORT PATHWAY ONCE THE LEVEL OF CONFIDENCE RISES. 10:43:20 IS THERE MORE WE SHOULD BE DOING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL TO INCENTIVIZE THIS TECHNOLOGY? REASON I SAY THAT IS BECAUSE I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN, AND WE TALKED ABOUT THIS TECHNOLOGY BEING WONDERFUL THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING OUT TO ADDRESS THESE FIRES, AND I KNOW THERE'S TALK AMONG SOME OF THE STATES ABOUT HOW WE ADOPT INCENTIVES FOR THE COMMUNITYWIDE SPACE PROGRAMS AND LET ME GIVE YOU A PERFECT EXAMPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE ONE OF THE DRIEST STATES OF WATER USE IT'S VERY IMPORTANT FOR US. LATE 1990s, EARLY 2000, THEY STARTED INCENTIVIZING PEOPLE ROLLING UP THEIR CRASS, NO LONGER LAWNS AND USED FOR LANDSCAPING. AND WE DID IT THROUGH INCENTIVES INCENTIVES. SHOULD HE BE LOOKING AT A FEDERAL LEVEL TO HELP INCENTIVIZE CERTAIN PROGRAMS LIKE THAT OR ARE THERE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE BEST PRACTICES THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF? 10:44:20 TWO THINGS COME TO MY MIND. ONE IS THAT THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS TO THIS COMMITTEE AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN VERY SUPPORTIVE OF IN TERMS OF HELPING MOVE TECHNOLOGY OUT AND PUT INTO PRACTICE HAVE BEEN VERY EFFECTIVE AND I THINK THE KEY IS HAVING INDUSTRY INVOLVED IN THE RESEARCH AND THE PANELS AND OTHER THINGS TO IDENTIFY ITS EFFECTIVENESS AND AS A PART OF THE DEMONSTRATION TO GET THE ENGAGEMENT IN THE COMMUNITY AND COMMUNITY THAT IS PROVEN TO BE VERY EFFECTIVE. THE OTHER THING WE ARE SEEING IS PART OF THE CHALLENGE FOR THE REGULATORS AND CONSUMER IS FIGURING OUT HOW MUCH IT'S WORTH SPENDING IN TERMS OF RESILIENCE. AND WE HAD VERY GOOD NATIONAL DATA IN TERMS OF THE OUTAGE COST TO CONSUMERS FOR UP TO 24 HOURS. AS YOU GO INTO THE LONGER DURATION AND COST, THE INFORMATION BASE IS DONE AND ONE THING I THINK THE COMMITTEE COULD EXAMINE HIS OR THEIR OPPORTUNITIES TO BETTER ARTICULATE THE CONSUMER COST FOR THE LONG OUTAGES REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE OF RELIGIOUS WILDFIRE OR OTHER OUTAGES AND I THINK THAT WOULD GIVE REGULATORS AND OWNERS AND UTILITIES AND OTHERS BETTER INFORMATION TO HELP IDENTIFY HOW MUCH RESILIENCE IS WORTHY OF INVESTMENT AND WHAT IT WOULD REALLY COST, SORT OF THE TRADE-OFFS IN TERMS OF THE COST TO CONSUMERS, BUT THAT SEEMS TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FEDERAL ATTENTION IN TERMS OF HOW WE STRENGTHEN THE KNOWLEDGE. 10:45:39 THANK YOU. 10:45:42 THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. I CAN AT THIS FROM A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES. MY UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE WAS IN PARTICULARLY FOREST MANAGEMENT AND AFTER I GOT OUT OF SCHOOL, AFTER I WENT TO LAW SCHOOL THAT WAS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MAINE, WASN'T IT? 10:45:59 NOT EXACTLY. AFTER I GOT OUT OF LAW SCHOOL I HAD A LOT OF DIFFERENT CASES AND I DEFENDED FLAYER CASES AND IN A COUPLE OF OBSERVATIONS I WOULD MAKE FROM AN OVERALL STANDPOINT THAT IS NUMBER ONE, THE UTILITIES DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TRY TO STOP THIS. TRANSMITTING ELECTRICITY IS DANGEROUS AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, THE COURTS AROUND THE COUNTRY HAVE SAID THAT UTILITIES WILL BE HELD TO THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CARE THERE IS AS FAR AS HANDLING ELECTRICITY SO THE UTILITIES TAKE THAT OBVIOUSLY TOO HARD. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE LAWYERS OUT THERE, IT THERE'S GOING TO BE FULL FROM THINGS YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY IMAGINE. ONE OF THE EARLIEST CASES WE HAD IN IDAHO A UTILITY WAS HELD LIABLE WHEN TWO HAWKS GOT TO FIGHTING AND GOT TANGLED UP AND FELL BETWEEN TWO LINES AND THEY STARTED A FIRE AND BURNED UP THE CROP AND TOOK -- IT'S HARD TO SAY THAT WAS FORESEEABLE THAT THAT'S WHATBUTTHAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. BUT THE NUMBER OF -- I HANDLE THE CASE ONE TIME WHERE A YOUNG CHILD GOT INTO A SUBSTATION AND WOUND UP TOUCHING TWO HAWKS POINT. THEY HIT THE POLLS ALL THE TIME, AND WIND GOES THROUGH HERE. THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE THESE KIND OF THINGS. THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO STOP IT. I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE, BUT THE FAULT IS DETERMINED NOW THEY'VE GOT IT SUCH THAT IT CAN BE DETECTED ALMOST INSTANTLY AND SHUT EVERYTHING DOWN, BUT ALMOST ISN'T QUITE GOOD ENOUGH. WHAT YOU NEED IS SOMETHING THAT CAN FORESEE THE FAULT WHICH I THINK IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO FORESEE THE FAULT. 10:47:59 ACTUALLY, IN THE VERY EARLIEST STAGES, THIS ISN'T A FIRE IGNITION MECHANISM AND IT STARTS TO ARC AND WE CAN DETECT IT. 10:48:07 THAT'S BETTER AND IT WILL CONTINUE TO GET BETTER I'M SURE. BUT THE PLAINTIFFS, THERE'S GOING TO BE TIMES WHEN YOU WILL GET THE ARCING AND FIRE STARTS. SO YOU GO TO THE NEXT POINT AND THAT IS WHEN YOU HAVE THAT HAPPEN, WHAT DO YOU DO ABOUT THAT AND THAT IS YOU NEED FOREST MAINTENANCE, AND YOU NEED TO HAVE THE RIGHT-OF-WAY CLEARED OUT. MADAM CHAIR, I'M GOING TO ASK THIS BE ENTERED INTO THE RECORD OF THIS IS A ROUTINE OPERATION FOR THE MAINTENANCE TO REDUCE FIRE RISK ON THE UTILITY UTILITY RIGHTS-OF-WAY DATED DECEMBER 12, 2019. AND IT WAS SIGNED BY THE STATE DIRECTOR IN IDAHO AND IT'S ONLY THREE PAGES LONG. IF I CAN PARAPHRASE DAYSTAR INDIES AND GIVE THE UTILITIES ALL THE HELP THEY CAN GET TO GET THE UTILITIES SOME HELP AS THEY ARE CLEARING OUT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. ONE SENTENCE SAYS IT ALL. IT DETERMINES AN OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE WORK IS NECESSARY TO PREVENT AND SUPPRESS WILDFIRE AND FIELD OFFICES SHOULDN'T REQUIRE THEM TO OBTAIN ANY ADDITIONAL NOTICE TO PROCEED FOR OTHER FORMS OF PRIOR APPROVAL, PRIOR TO CONDUCTING THE WORK. YOU DON'T SEE THIS FROM BUREAUCRATS VERY OFTEN THEY CAN SEE IT ASSAY IT AS QUICKLY AND AS CLEARLY AS THEY CAN, TELLING EVERYBODY WHAT, LET THEM GET IN THERE AND DO THIS AND DON'T BE HAVING THEM FILL OUT ALL THIS PAPERWORK. THESE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS THAT NEED TO BE DONE BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE ELECTRICITY BEING TRANSMITTED THROUGH AN URBAN AREA, IT'S ACTUALLY EASY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TO GET. GET THERE AND PUT OUT A FIRE BUT AS WE'VE SEEN IN CALIFORNIA IT DIDN'T GET STARTED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND ONCE IT GETS GOING IT IS BY THE DOOR SO IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE RIGHT-OF-WAY SPEAKING UP CONSTANTLY. I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE TO THE RECORD. IT REALLY UNDERSCORES THE TWO SIDES OF THIS. NUMBER ONE, TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING WE POSSIBLY CAN BUY THE UTILITY TO STOP THE FIRE AND THEN SECONDANDBEEN SECONDED TO GET THE RIGHT-OF-WAY CLEARED UP SO IF A FIRE DOESPLAYER DOES START IT IS MINIMAL. THE UTILITIES OF COURSE ARE INCENTIVIZED AND THIS INCENTIVE QUESTION WAS RAISED ITS FOR THE FACT THEY DO BUSINESS ON A COST TO COST BASIS VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE THEY ARE ALL REGULATED BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION AND SO THEY ARE INCENTIVIZED TO GET OUT THERE AND DO IT BY THE POWER COMPANY IN MY STATE THEY HAVE CONTRACTS WITH PEOPLE TO GO OUT AND TRIM THE TREES ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAY IS AND THEY ARE AT IT EVERY SINGLE DAY. IT IS A CONSTANT PROGRAM. I'M AMAZED HERE AT WASHINGTON, D.C. WHEN I SEE THE KIND OF OUTAGES THAT YOU GET HERE AND NOT ONLY THAT, BUT HOW LONG THEY LAST AND IT IS PREMIER LEAGUE BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO THE WORK THEY NEED TO DO AND THAT IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO BE OUT THERE BECAUSE AS THE TREES GROW THE BRANCHES GET BLOWN INTO THE LINES AND YOU GET A FAULT AND A FIRE AND IT'S THAT SIMPLE. YOU NEED TO BE OUT THERE CLEARING THOSE LINES, SO THANK YOU FOR HOLDING THIS HEARING. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO RECOGNIZE THE TWO PARTS OF THIS. 10:51:32 THANK YOU. SENATOR CANTWELL. 10:51:35 FOLLOWING UP ON MY COLLEAGUE FROM IDAHO TO HIM BY 2018 LEGISLATION THERE WAS A PROVISION TO MAKE IT EASIER I THINK SOME OF YOU MENTIONED THIS IT PROVIDES THE ABILITY TO MANAGE THIS INFRASTRUCTURE ON FEDERAL LAND REQUIRES THE FOREST SERVICE TO GET ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION COMPANIES ACCESS TO FEDERAL LAND SO THEY CAN REMOVE HAZARDOUS TREES AND VEGETATION. YOU REVERT TO BEAT THE REVIEWED THESE NEW LAWS AND I'M INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT WE CAN DO TO SPEED THIS UP SO THAT THE PROTOCOLS ARE IN PLACE AND WE ARE MOVING FORWARD. AND IF I COULD HEAR FROM YOU, OBVIOUSLY IN THE LEGISLATION WE GAVE MORE TOOLS, GPS LOCATORS, DIGITAL MAPPING, ONE OF THE AGENCIES USING THOSE AND WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE COULD BE DOING IF WE WERE AND THE OBVIOUS ISSUE OF THE LAB TRYING TO DEVELOP THIS PREDICTION MODEL THAT I AM ALL FOR BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF IT IS A CHANGING CLIMATE IN DRY CONDITIONS BUT ALSO JUST IGNITES THE HIGHER PROPENSITY FOR THESE EVENTS TO HAVE BEEN COMING HAPPEN, AND I'M INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU THINK. I THINK THAT WHEN IT COMES TO WATER AND FIRE, NEITHER ONE OF THEM RECOGNIZE NATIONAL BOUNDARIES. MY COLLEAGUE AND I ARE HAVING A MEETING ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER TREATY ISSUES AND PUSHING AHEAD, BUT ON THE FIRESIDE, IT'S ALSO JUST AS IMPORTANT. WE ARE SEEING IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST SO MUCH IMPACT FROM CANADA. SO, HOW CAN WE MANAGE THIS IF WE ARE NOT IN PARTNERSHIP IN WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO HELP US MANAGE IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO TO GET CLOBBERED ASIAN ON THE MAPPING SYSTEM THAT'S LARGER SO WE SEE WHERE THE RISKS ARE COMING OUT SO IF YOU CAN COMMENT ON THOSE. THANK YOU, SENATOR. ON YOUR LAST POINT, THAT'S CORRECT CANADA HAS HAD SIGNIFICANT WILDFIRES AS WELCOME AS THE COORDINATION INTERNATIONALLY AS WELL AS NATIONALLY MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. ON IMPLEMENTING THE REGULATIONS, IT WAS HELPFUL TO HAVE THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION GO THROUGH. NOW WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION IS COORDINATED BETWEEN THE TWO AGENCIES AND THAT IT'S QUICK. THE REGULATIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED ARE VERY DIFFERENT BETWEEN THE TWO RIGHT NOW AND WE'VE COMMENTED ON THE FOREST SERVICE WITH SOME SUGGESTIONS AS HAVE OTHERS ON HOW TO MAKE SURE IT IS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND ARE WE REALLY GOING TO HIT THE TIMELINES AND IMPLEMENTED EFFICIENTLY ACROSS ALL THE OFFICES. BUT AS THE SENATOR NOTED, GOOD GUIDANCE. IT'S NOT AN ACTUAL REGULATION, IT IS A MEMO TO THE STATE OFFICES AND IT'S A GOOD START. WE WANT TO FOLLOW-UP WITH THEM ANDFOLLOW UP WITH THEMAND MAKE SURE THAT IT'S HAPPENING HE BUT IN BOTH INSTANCES THE ROLE IN OVERSEEING THIS IS VERY HELPFUL TO APPRECIATE THE HEARING TODAY. 10:54:49 I WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BIOMASS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. IN 2018, WASHINGTON STATE HAD A PHENOMENON PROBLEM WITH SMOKE. ONE DAYSMOKE. WHEN THEY BASICALLY HAVE 300 FIRES IN OREGON, 250 IN WASHINGTON STATE AND 2.5000 IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. AND OF COURSE IT CAME DOWN BY THE COLUMBIA BASIN I HAVE 95 MASK IN MY VEHICLE THAT CLEARLY EXPANDS THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARIES. THE WORK THAT'S GOING ON NOW BETWEEN THE FOREST SERVICE AND THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY BIOMASS PROGRAM IS USING SATELLITE IMAGERY TO LOOK AHEAD AND TWO THESE CASES IT IS THE WATERSHED NORTH OF LEAVENWORTH AND THEN THE WATERSHED CENTRAL CASCADES. USING TO IDENTIFY THE FUEL BUILDUP FOR THE BIOMASS AND MOISTURE CONTENT ETC. THAT ARE UPDATED ON A DAY AHEAD OR WEEK AHEAD TO BEGIN THE POSITION ON WHERE DO WE HAVE EXTREME BREVITY IN THE BIOMASS COMPARED WITH HIGH FUEL BUILDUP THAT MIGHT OFFEND IN THE FORM THE OWNERS OF INFRASTRUCTURE ACROSS THOSE AREAS. .. 10:56:07 THAT WATER IS A CENTRAL PART AND THE INTERESTING THING FROM THE GRID RESILIENT STANDPOINT IS ENERGY STORAGE IS NORTH EVERYTHING SOUTH IS THE RIVER SO LOOKING AT GOOD FLEXIBILITY TO GET THAT ACROSS ALL HAZARDS AT STORAGE CAPACITY FROM THE RIVER IS CRITICAL AND PART OF THAT NEGOTIATION TO ENSURE TO INSPECT - - EXPAND THAT BORDER ON THE RIVER BASIN. 10:57:16 THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THAT BUT I WANT TO GET THAT SATELLITE INFORMATION BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT WILL BE HELPFUL FOR US PICK UP THANK YOU. 10:57:21 MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WILDFIRE IS A REAL PROBLEM IN HAWAII. LAST YEAR 627 FIRES BURNING OVER 32000 ACRES RESULTING FROM HURRICANES APPROACHING THE ISLAND AND THEN BURNING OVER 14000 ACRES ON MAUI ALONE WITH CONDITIONS THAT FIREFIGHTER SAID THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE THE TEMPERATURES WERE HOT MAXIMUM RECORDS WERE TIGHTER BROKEN 84 TIMES APRIL THROUGH OCTOBER THE FIRE MOVED QUICKLY THAT USED TO BE MANAGED SUGARCANE FARMLAND BUT HAS NOW GONE FALLOW AND WITH GINNY GRASS HAWAII'S WILDFIRE THREAT IS INCREASINGLY SIMILAR TO CALIFORNIA AND FOR OUR FUTURE ALSO THE WAY CALIFORNIA IS LEADING STATE AND INTEGRATING RENEWABLE RESOURCES THAT MY QUESTION IS HOW DO YOU THINK CALIFORNIA'S MOVE TO ZERO CARBON POLLUTION WILL INTERACT WITH THE NEED TO ADDRESS WILDFIRE RISK QUICK SCAN UTILITIES THAT THERE IS RESILIENT WILDFIRES WHILE USING POWER AND MOSTLY RENEWABLE SOURCES QUICK. 10:58:48 THANK YOU FOR THAT I DON'T THINK THERE IS ANY CONTRADICTION BETWEEN CARBON FREE I THANK YOU CAN DO BOTH AND I THINK WE NEED TO DO BOTH. THE CLIMATE PROBLEMS WE SUFFER ARE CAUSING A LOT OF THESE FIRES. 10:59:07 HURRICANES AND THE SIZE AND STRENGTH IS INCREASING. I DON'T THINK THEY ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE BUT IN THE SHORT TERM TERM, AS WE PRIORITIZE WHAT WE ARE DOING AND WITH FIRE PREVENTION AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHERS BUT THIS WILL NOT GET IN THE WAY. AND WHAT WE CAN LEARN FOR YOUR EXPERIENCES INTO AND THAT KEY SUPPORT TO THAT TRANSITION AND FOR EXAMPLE WITH THE NATIONAL RENEWABLE LAB HAS BEEN WORKING TO USE ADVANCED CONTROLS WITH THE OVERALL POWER GRID SO WE HAVE HEARD A LOT TODAY BUT WHAT ROLE CAN IMMUNITY SCALE LOCAL GRIDS PLAY TO ENSURE THAT COMMUNITIES CAN MAINTAIN POWER OR RECOVER QUICKLY FROM FIRES AND HURRICANES AND OTHER HAZARDS HAZARDS. 11:00:38 THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION. LOCAL DISTRIBUTED POWER SUPPLIES AS THE PUBLIC SAFETY POWER SHUTDOWN AND FUEL PUMPING AND OTHER THINGS AND FOR HURRICANES AND OTHER THINGS PART OF THE RESEARCH IS FOCUSED ON HOW DO YOU NETWORK WITH THOSE MICRO GRIDS I KNOW THAT IS YOUR CASE WITH THE MILITARY FACILITIES GOING ACROSS MILITARY ONE - - MULTIPLE MILITARY GRIDS ON THE BLUE SKY DAY VERSUS A DARK SKY WHEN YOU COULD ROUTE THE POWER. IT HELPS TO PRIORITIZE PUBLIC SAFETY DURING TIMES OF OUTAGE. 11:01:33 SO WITH THIS NETWORKING OF MICRO GRIDS GOING ON DO YOU PLAY A ROLE IN THAT QUICK. 11:01:39 IT IS GOING ON IN HAWAII AND A NUMBER OF OTHER PLACES AND ALASKA HAS THAT AS WELL AND A NUMBER OF COMMERCIAL VENDORS ARE DEMONSTRATING SO THAT'S VERY ACTIVE IN THE DEMONSTRATION PHASE AND CONNECTED TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENDA SUPPORTING MILITARY BASES AROUND THE COUNTRY. 11:02:05 I KNOW WE HAVE A HARD STOP I WILL SUBMIT OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE RECORD. 11:02:10 JUST ONE VERY QUICK QUESTION FOCUSED ON WHAT THE SENATOR HAD RAISED WITH REGARD TO THE COST IN MY OPENING STATEMENT CALIFORNIA HAS SOME OF THE HIGHEST ELECTRIC GRID PRICES IN THE COUNTRY SO AS YOU LOOK TO THE EXPANSES THAT ARE NECESSARILY INVOLVED IF YOU HARDEN THE INFRASTRUCTURE AND WORK TO MITIGATE THE RISK INCORPORATE TECHNOLOGIES OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A COST. IS THERE A TRADE-OFF THAT HAS TO GO ON THAT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE FOR THE GREATER RESILIENCE YOU HAVE TO PULL BACK ON ANOTHER INITIATIVES OF THE AGENDA CRACKS YOU HAVE THAT INCORPORATING RENEWABLE OPPORTUNITIES WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE WITH YOUR PORTFOLIO GOING FORWARD TO BALANCE THAT COST CRACKS I'M ASSUMING SOME OF THIS HAS TO BE SHIFTED SPIRIT THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION AND ONE WE WRESTLE WITH THE PRIORITIZATION WHAT'S MOST IMPORTANT IN THE SHORT TERM AND I WILL TELL YOU THE ADMINISTRATION IN CALIFORNIA AND THE PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSION HAVE RECOGNIZED THIS THAT WE NEED TO PRIORITIZE SAFETY FIRST SO AT THE START OF A PROCEEDING BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA COMMISSION WHAT ARE THE PRIORITIES GOING TO BE MANAGING SAFETY CALIFORNIA ENERGY GOALS AND AFFORDABILITY CRACKS SO WE WILL KNOW HOW THIS ENDS UP WE WORK WITH SAFETY FIRST WE MAY HAVE TO PRIOR TOUR ON --DASH PRIORITIZE A LITTLE. 11:04:19 JUST REAL QUICK DO YOU THINK COMING OUT OF BANKRUPTCY AND REORGANIZING AND THE COMMITMENT YOU HAVE TO MAKE WILL THAT BE PASSED ON WILL YOU SEE INCREASES TO YOUR CONSUMERS QUICK. 11:04:38 NOTHING IN THE BANKRUPTCY IS PUT TO THE CONSUMER THAT WILL BE PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS THERE IS SOME COST INCREASES COMING TO THE CONSUMERS THAT WERE PLANNED BEFORE THE BANKRUPTCY WAS DECLARED AND ACTUALLY THE CONSUMER WILL SEE FEWER INCREASES AFTER THE BANKRUPTCY THEY HAD BEFORE. IT WILL BE BETTER FOR CONSUMERS WITH THE UPGRADES OF THE SYSTEM TO THE BENEFIT OF THE CUSTOMERS AND THEY WILL HELP CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. 11:05:22 THIS HAS BEEN A VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION AND I AM GLAD WE WERE ABLE TO NOT ONLY HEAR ABOUT THE VERY SPECIFIC SITUATION THE TRAGEDY WE HAVE SEEN IN CALIFORNIA OVER THE PAST YEARS, BUT THE THINKING FORWARD WHAT WE CAN DO ON A PROACTIVE BASIS AND WE SEE SOME OF THAT INNOVATION THROUGH LABS AND UNIVERSITIES. I THANK YOU FOR THAT. WE DO RECOGNIZE AS A COMMITTEE WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A PROBLEM WITH FIRE. THAT'S NATURE BUT WHAT WE HAVE SEEN WITH THE EVER INCREASING THREAT AND THE INTENSITY IS THE FACT YOU HAVE AN INTERFACE UNLIKE ANYTHING WE HAVE SEEN BEFORE WHERE FOLKS ARE OUT IN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY JUST WERE NOT LIVING BEFORE AND WE SEE THREATS TO PROPERTY AND LIFE AND HOW WE ACCOMPLISH WHAT IT IS THAT THE CONSUMER EXPECTS WHICH IS TO HAVE POWER WHEN THEY WANT IT ON THEIR TERMS BUT DO IT FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL AND RESPECTS THE ISSUES REGARDING THE RESILIENCE WE ARE DEALING WITH THESE ARE SERIOUS CHALLENGES THAT YOU HAVE HELPED PUT A LITTLE NOTE OF OPTIMISM WITH THE TECHNOLOGIES WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO US AND BE MOVING FORWARD. WITH THAT VOTES HAVE BEEN CALLED WE WILL CONCLUDE BUT THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND TRAVELING TO MAKE THIS COMMITTEE.

1200 DOD BUDGET BRIEFING FS22 77 1355 DOD BUDGET BRIEFING FS22 72 DEFENSE DEPARTMENT NEWS BRIEFING ON THE F.Y. 2019 DEFENSE BUDGET FEBRUARY 12, 2018 SPEAKERS: UNDERSECRETARY OF DEFENSE (COMPTROLLER) DAVID L. NORQUIST DIRECTOR, FORCE STRUCTURE, RESOURCES AND ASSESSMENT, JOINT STAFF, LIEUTENANT GENERAL ANTHONY R. IERARDI [*] STAFF: Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming. This is the rollout of the F.Y. '19 budget. It's my pleasure to introduce Under Secretary Of Defense Comptroller David Norquist and U.S. Army Lieutenant General Anthony Ierardi. They will provide an overview of the F.Y. '19 defense budget, followed by your questions. After this briefing, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Missile Defense Agency will follow. And so, with that, I will turn it over to David. NORQUIST: Thank you very much. Good afternoon. My name's David Norquist. I'm the CFO and comptroller here at the Department of Defense, and I'm joined by General Ierardi from the Joint Staff. Thank you for being here to discuss the F.Y. 2019 budget request for the Department of Defense. The Department of Defense's enduring mission is to provide combat-ready military forces to deter war and reinforce America's traditional tools of diplomacy. The size and type of force we need depends on our nation's strategy, which is described in two documents: The National Security Strategy and the National Defense Strategy. Next slide, please. The National Security Strategy explains how the president intends to put his national security vision into practice. It describes the challenges our nation needs to respond to, and identifies our four vital national interests. From this, the department creates a National Defense Strategy. Secretary Mattis issued the National Defense Strategy last month and had several classified briefings with Congress last week, where he explained the strategy in detail. An unclassified version of the NDS is available on the <DOD> website, and a summary is included in your budget overview book. To give a brief description, consistent with the National Security Strategy, the U.S. next slide, please. Consistent with the National Security Strategy, the U.S. must be prepared to compete, deter war and, if necessary, fight and win, expanding the competitive space by leveraging all elements of national power. Great power competition, not terrorism, has emerged as the central challenge to U.S. security and prosperity. It is increasingly apparent that China and Russia want to shape a world consistent with their authoritarian values and, in the process, replace the free and open order that has enabled global security and prosperity since World War II. Our nation's strategy seeks areas of cooperation with competitors from a position of strength. But we recognize that, if unaddressed, the eroding U.S. military advantage versus China and Russia could undermine our ability to deter aggression and coercion in key strategic regions. Secretary Mattis has set out three lines of effort necessary to sustain U.S. influence and preserve peace through strength. These lines of effort include: build a more lethal, resilient, agile and joint force -- and ready joint force; strengthen alliances and attract new partners; and reform the department's business practices for greater performance and affordability. Next slide, please. The National Defense Strategy guided the process we used to build the budget. It determined the issues we examined, the decisions we made and the level of funding that was required. Last week, Congress voted to raise the caps on defense spending to a level that would support the strategy and allow us to restore and rebuild our military. Let me briefly walk through the numbers. The overall number you often hear is $716 billion. That is the amount of funding for what is called national defense, the accounting code is 050, and includes more than simply the Department of Defense. It includes, for example, Department of Energy and others. That large a number, if you back out the $30 billion for non-defense agencies, you get to $686 billion. That is the funding for the Department of Defense, split between $617 billion in base and $69 billion in overseas contingency. For those of you who have a copy of our budget overview, that was printed before the budget deal. It was part of a reassembly, you see a slight difference in mix between base and OCO; the top line the same, all the initiatives and programs are in the same, but during the process of rebuilding this, some of those items were in OCO, and with the increase that came from the congressional action, those items will move to base. This increase is $74 billion, or it's 10 percent real growth over the levels set in this C.R. It is 5 percent real growth over the president's budget. We are appreciative of Congress raising the caps and ending the destructive effects of sequestration-level funding. And we are committed to the reforms necessary to be good stewards of taxpayers' money. Next slide. While a $74 billion increase is large, it is important to put it in its historical context. Even with this budget agreement, defense outlays will remain near historical lows as a share of the U.S. economy. In 2010, <DOD was 4.5 percent of GDP. But, even with the budget agreement, we will average approximately 3.1 percent for the next several years. It is also important to understand the hole we are climbing out of. Next slide, please. Many of you heard Secretary Mattis' comments about the damaging effect of sequestration. So let me put that into numbers for you. Imagine if, starting in 2011, the year before sequestration, the defense budget grew by just inflation -- not as fast as the economy, not with requirements, but just inflation. That is the black line shown at the top. The red line shows the actual funding, as modified by various bipartisan budget agreements. So, over a five-year period, our forces have endured over $400 billion in lost readiness, maintenance and modernization. With the bipartisan budget agreement, that hemorrhaging stops. It is a sign of how deep the hole is that we are in, that it takes this big of an increase just to get the department's budget back to where inflation alone would have put us. Next slide. Looking forward, after 2019 the Defense topline grows by inflation through F.Y. '23. In addition, starting in F.Y. '20, per OMB's direction, we will look to shift the enduring costs of our overseas contingency operations into base on a one-for-one basis, reducing the size of OCO while staying within the same topline. The number in '18, here, represents the C.R. level, which is where we are held flat at F.Y. '17 levels of funding during the continuing resolution plus the missile defense and defeat funding that Congress adopted in December. Next slide. In 2016, our military was the smallest it had been since before World War II. So the National Security Strategy directed, quote, "The U.S. must reverse recent decisions to reduce the size of the joint force and grow the force while modernizing and ensuring readiness." Consistent with that guidance, we are proposing to increase the force by 25,900 above the F.Y. '18 president's budget, and an increase of 56,600 by 2023. This allows us to fill in units and provide key skills related to recruiting pilots, maintainers and cybersecurity experts. It also allows us to add units related to reinforcing the National Defense Strategy, such as with the Army, the security force assistance brigades, the Multiple Launch Rocket System battalion, and their shorehead battalions. Next slide. To support a more lethal force, we have a number of investments in major acquisition programs. The F-35 Joint Strike Fighter would increase from 70 to 77 aircraft. The F-18 Super Hornet would go from 14 to 24 aircraft to help us address an operational shortfall in Navy TACAIR. The Navy's purchase for its battle force ships is 10, with 54 ships over the next five years. This increases the size of the Navy from 2018 of 289 ships to 326 by F.Y. '23. Among the increases in the ships that you see listed there, is the DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class destroyer goes from two to three, each of those destroyers equipped with the air and missile defense radar, reflecting the changing threats that we face. Next slide. The National Defense Strategy also directed that we be able to strike diverse targets inside adversaries' air and missile defense network, to destroy mobile power projection platforms. This required us to make a significant investment in the capacity and the production of munitions, so you'll see some quantity increases in the budget related to munitions. The Joint Direct Attack Munition goes from 35,000 to 44,000. The Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System used by the Army, production quantities go from 6,000 to near-10,000. For those who aren't familiar, this is a long-range missile about 40 miles in range, useful for the high-end fight, when you're dealing not with the assumption of air superiority, but when you're trying to suppress the enemy's defenses. You need to be able to reach them from a distance. Also consistent with the challenges of the high-end fight, you'll see the additional investment in the Army's M1 Abrams tank modernization and upgrade program. We go from upgrading 56 tanks in a year to 135. Next slide. The National Defense Strategy called for the modernization of the nuclear triad. It also directed that we focus on a layered missile defense and disruptive capabilities for both theater, missile threats and the North Korean ballistic missile threat. NORQUIST: With that guidance, we invested in a nuclear deterrent modernization program for the triad, as well as increased funding for Missile Defense Agency and the larger missile defense program. If you compare '17 to '19, the missile defense goes from $8.5 billion to $9.9 billion. Part of the reason the '17 to '19 is there was a missile defense amendment in '18 that began a series of initiatives. This budget continues those initiatives adopted by Congress in December. For the ground-based midcourse defense, we're on path to procure 20 additional missiles, to bring that capacity from 44 to 64 by 2023. Part of the nature of the changing environment is the importance of staying in front of the technology changes and the evolving threats as it expands across a number of different domains. And so our research program reflects that. We have investments in critical areas, such as hypersonic technology. NORQUIST: Next chart -- sorry. Thank you. Hypersonic technology, such as high-speed strike weapons; investments in autonomy -- think of swarming tactics of UAVs, unmanned aerial systems -- cyber-integrated defense; defensive and offensive operations; space resilience; directed energy, such as high-energy lasers; electronic warfare; and artificial intelligence. This spread shows how the domains that we are operating in, and that our enemies are attempting to operate in and challenge, has expanded, and we need to be able to address those. Next slide. Now I'll turn it over to General Ierardi. IERARDI: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Lieutenant General Tony Ierardi of Joint Staff G-8. A major thrust of the National Defense Strategy oriented on great power competition: specifically, Russia and China. And, in this respect, our investments to support activities, both capability and posture, in Asia and Europe are an important aspect of this budget. Just a highlight here on this chart: Some of the key enhancements with regard to Asia including continued investment in air and space superiority; procurement of additional weapons systems, including the Virginia payload module for our Navy submarines; procurement of additional P-8As, three additional in this budget; and work to increase naval presence appropriately as this strategy is implemented in the Pacific, to include infrastructure investments. In Europe, we continue robust increases in our investments to enhance Army pre-positioning stocks and responsiveness from Europe, including the enhancement of a second armored brigade combat team's worth of equipment in an Army pre-positioned set; replenishment of wartime stocks, including preferred and advanced munitions and increased lethality of each; and expansion and enhancement of air bases to support our operations, as appropriate, in Europe. Next chart, please. IERARDI: Warfighting readiness continues to be an emphasis that Secretary Mattis makes from his arrival in the department, last year, and continues with this budget, with a robust budget to support full-spectrum readiness recovery across the board in the joint force , advances the department's multi-pronged, multi-year approach to enhance readiness, and to do so in a way that orients on major competitors, and have a full-spectrum capability would include enhancements at the individual level, as well as collective level, in our joint force units, and would support combatant command exercises and enhancements to support joint training capabilities, reassuring allies and providing for our presence abroad. Next chart, please. The services will all come and talk to their programs to you. Each of the services have plans in place to leverage this budget and to enhance readiness, to support the joint force. The Army will increase home-station training and high-end training at its combat training centers and will grow end strength -- continued growth from '17 to '18 and '18 to '19, to avail a larger number of soldiers in both the active and reserve components to fill critical personnel gaps and to grow appropriate structure. The Navy will orient their efforts on maintenance and depot-level repair of ships and fighter aircraft and to work to build depth in that enterprise, to enhance the overall readiness of the Navy. The Marine Corps continues focusing on training and expeditionary operations and will enhance the force by including an additional 1,100 Marines, with the associated enablers, to build additional training readiness and capability in the Marine Corps, as well as enhancing long-range precision fires, air defense and enhanced maneuver capabilities. The Air Force will grow the force to have appropriate and adequate levels of pilot, cyber, specialists, maintainers and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance specialists to support operations in the Air Force, as well as supporting weapons systems sustainment and lethality in the force. United States Special Operations Command, our Special Operations Forces -- investments will continue to be made to enhance intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, as well as the mission training and support to the deployed special operators and those in training for future missions. I'll turn it back over to Mr. Norquist. NORQUIST: Thank you. Next slide, please. The budget provides a competitive compensation package that reflects the unique demands and sacrifices of U.S. service members. The F.Y. '19 military pay raise request is 2.6 percent, which is higher than '18 and the largest pay raise in nine years. It is linked to the employment cost index. For an E6 for example, an Army staff sergeant -- that would represent an annual increase of $1,169. Of significance: The 2019 budget request does not include any health care cost-sharing reforms, as requested in previous years. I will talk about this more later. But, when you hear this administration talk about reform, we are referring to changing the way that Defense's business operations function to make them less expensive and more efficient. We are not talking about the types of reforms that were done in the past, with shifting co-pays. We also invest $8 billion to sustain family support initiatives, including educating 78,000 students and operating 2,837 commissaries. One of the challenges of being under sequestration for a long period of time is the effect it has Next slide. On facilities. It's one of the first things, maintenance, that gets affected when money is tight. And so that was one of the areas we wanted to address in this budget. NORQUIST: We are committed to giving our warfighters the facilities and training areas they need. So we've increased the facility investment by 7 percent over the 2018 base budget request, for a total of $10.5 billion, ensuring they have the facilities they need to be successful. This includes operational and training facilities, such as airfield improvements, training ranges, maintenance and production facilities, such as hangars, missile-assembly buildings, high-explosive magazines, all related to readiness, investments in recapitalization of poor or failing condition buildings and facilities, and improving the quality of life for service members through additional investments in schools, barracks, and medical facilities. Next slide. I'm going to take this slide from the bottom up. But this relates to the secretary's third line of effort, reform. So there's a series of congressionally directed reforms. Those are all being implemented including the chief management officer, the reorganization of AT&L. We continue to reduce headquarter staff consistent with the 2016 NDA to come down 25 percent. But we also have a series of initiatives going forward, led by the deputy secretary of defense, Secretary Shanahan, whose focus is on our business operations. And those reforms -- and it's a series of areas that they are examining -- those savings will be reinvested in the out years by the services to improve the lethality of the force. So that will become one of our major focuses going forward. Next slide. The OCO budget supports the needs of U.S. military forces to continue to execute operations around the globe, particularly Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. And it also includes funding for increased support to the European Deterrence Initiative. It allows us to enhance partner-nation capabilities through training and equipping, and allowing U.S. forces to be available to be moved to other operations. This is again the chart where the numbers in your book are right. The total for OCO and the total for base is different in the handout you have. The slides are right. The slides match the deal that was done by the Hill on Thursday. But the budget material you have has a different mix because it was sent to the printers before an agreement was reached. So about a $20 billion-dollar difference moving from OCO to base. Next slide. In conclusion, this is a strategy-based budget. The strategy determined what we looked at. It determined the choices that the department made, and it determined the level of funding requested and required. Congress' action last week was an essential step in restoring and rebuilding our military. We look forward to working with Congress this year to put the budget process back on a normal schedule, and to avoid disruptive continuing resolutions in F.Y. '19. I look forward to taking your questions. QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. Comptroller. Some OCO whiplash here. So right now we're looking at an OCO account that is smaller than what you initially had planned for in these books that we have. But the books show that the department was going to use the OCO account to finance this buildup. It's a $90 billion OCO account. Now we see it, it adheres to the bipartisan deal, but you also said that come F.Y. '20, you're going to start phasing OCO out altogether. Could you talk a little bit more about what that effort's going to look like? Because you were going to use the account to finance a buildup, now we're hearing in '20 it's going to be phased out. NORQUIST: So originally then the budget was being built, it was not clear where the Hill was going to come up on its negotiations. And the direction we had was to assemble the budget with this piece of OCO that was labelled -- in fact, it's labelled in your books "OCO for base." That had been done in '17. In fact, under the '18 C.R. that's what we had, and the numbers are about the same. What the Hill did was a step in the right direction, was to say no, no, that belongs in base. And so their funding has the correct split between OCO and base. And we'll adjust our tables to match. But in some cases we've already indicated what that mix would be. NORQUIST: What OMB has suggested going forward is once you get to '20 and out, that we look at moving even more of OCO to base, that you look at some of those enduring costs that were created as part of OCO, but we'd keep, almost under any circumstance, going forward, and reduce the size of OCO to much more of the incremental costs. So we will look at what the guidelines and rules would be for that, but that's not in the '19. That would be in '20. But OMB -- and we want to make sure people are aware that that's the direction we were headed. QUESTION: But the BCA cap will still exist in F.Y. '20. Isn't that a haircut for the department, if you start moving OCO into your base? NORQUIST: My understanding is the BCA cap in '20 is actually down to sequestration levels. So there will need to be an addressing of '20 or '21. And what OMB is suggesting is we should look at the OCO to base mix when Congress looks at that change. But that doesn't affect the current deal on -- from last week. QUESTION: Just for those listening and for those who will read your highlights book, this glossy, thick book -- the 597 base is wrong? That's in the glossy highlights book? NORQUIST: The budget overview book? Correct, it has the wrong mix of base to OCO. The numbers in your slides are correct. QUESTION: Are you going to correct that on the website? NORQUIST: Yes. QUESTION: Because this is a piece of record now. NORQUIST: Correct. QUESTION: I know you did a good job of laying out percentage of GDP. Under this agreement, what percentage of the overall federal government budget is 050 these days? And, conversely, what is the discretionary share? Is it like 7 percent, 13 -- 30 percent? That... NORQUIST: I'll get you those. I don't have -- I didn't bring those numbers with me. But it's been declining over the past few years under sequestration. But I'll get you the table of what it would look like after the adjustment for the deal. QUESTION: I'm looking at the F-35. You say you're growing the program. The last Obama plan had 80 jets for '19. You're down to 77, so you're kind of -- it's a decrease, versus an increase from the last Obama plan. I just wanted to address why that is. Why didn't you bankroll for 80 jets? NORQUIST: I know they had, we had a program in the out years that went up to those numbers, but I don't think it was a change in '19. We'll double check. QUESTION: Eighty is in the SAR for '19; the last SAR... NORQUIST: OK. QUESTION: ... about 77, so you can't really say it's increased. NORQUIST: It's increased from the '18 request. We went from 70 to 77. IERARDI: (off mic) increased it from '18 to '19 (inaudible) request. QUESTION: For the general, the European Deterrence Initiative -- could you flesh that out a little bit in terms of the types of equipment that will be pre-positioned in Europe under this new funding scheme? IERARDI: It's combat equipment for Army combat units, ground -- including air defense, multiple launch rocket systems, combat brigades, armored brigade combat teams, those both to sustain exercises with our allies, as well as pre-positioning equipment for a unit to fall in on and operate either an exercise or in a contingency with on a short-notice basis. NORQUIST: Two questions -- let me just keep moving. Yes, sir? QUESTION: You said the government's focusing a lot on cyber. Could you give us a sense of what the cyber budget is and what the U.S. Cyber Command -- what your request is for your Cyber Command, or sort of an overall picture of how much money you foresee going into cyber? NORQUIST: So the overall cyber effort's spread into a lot of -- a number of different areas. There's about $8.6 billion. Cyber Command is now a unified command under STRATCOM, and this funding includes support for 133 Cyber Mission Force, which is part of the units there. So that gives you some of the idea of the scale. Yes? QUESTION: Thank you very much, sir. Two-part question, sir, on South Asia: One, as far as this new budget is concerned, how are you going to stop China's military buildup in the area? And it's threatening the regional nations -- because of China's expansion. QUESTION: And also, at the same time, as far as the -- Afghanistan is concerned, the ongoing, longest war, Afghanistan people are now asking, maybe in this new budget they will see a new light in the dark tunnel, and this will be end of the terrorism or Al Qaida and Talibans for the people of Afghanistan. IERARDI: What I'd say is in, with respect to the Asia question, it's enhancing both capability and posture of the Department of Defense, of the joint force, to contend with China. With respect to Afghanistan, it's continuation of rather adequate and appropriate resources to support the strategy in Afghanistan that has been adopted, and to work with Afghanistan forces in countering the violent extremism there in Afghanistan. STAFF: So on this side. Yes, sir. QUESTION: Thank you. The budget calls for adding 24,100 personnel. Is it the Defense Department's position that at current manning levels, the Defense Department cannot meet all the tasks required of it and win wars? NORQUIST: Well, the increase was designed to address a couple things. One is readiness issues, by adding pilots and people with skills in cyber areas. And also allowed the capacity to add the types of units related to the emerging threats and challenges that we see. So I think part of what this strategy did is it looked over time, and said, "Where do we need to be?" Adding personnel takes time, but it also is something that if you need to know where you're headed, and what you're trying to accomplish. And so that's what those additional forces are for. And the services, I think, can talk to some detail. IERARDI: And I would just add that this strategy requires enhancements in capability, capacity and readiness. And we, indeed, are focused on achieving all of those to execute the strategy. STAFF: Next question. QUESTION: Let me follow on (inaudible)'s question -- Military Times. The Marine Corps has a relatively modest gain in personnel compared to the other services. Is that reflective of the strategy, or do you think you'll be leaning on the Marine Corps less, and going to more of a conventional warfare approach? IERARDI: The Marines will continue to focus on the missions that they're being assigned, to have an expeditionary capability, and to be trained and ready to accomplish those tasks. It was the judgment of the department, and the judgment of the Marine Corps, that the additional 1,100 Marines was appropriate, given the enhancements that were required in the overall warfighting elements of the Marine Corps. NORQUIST: Each of the services took a different look at what it takes to improve their readiness and their capability. And in some cases, it's additional end-strength, and in some cases, it's additional training, in other cases, it's moving more things to maintenance for readiness. So you'll see some variation between them. It's not a matter of emphasis of one service over the other. It's a recognition on their part of what they need to be effective. Yes? QUESTION: On AFRICOM, as we shift to this great power focus with the military, (inaudible) AFRICOM's funding and troop levels and support, such as for personnel recovery? Are they still going to be asked to do, you know, more with less? IERARDI: We're certainly committed to developing capabilities to support AFRICOM, including personnel recovery. As the National Defense Strategy is implemented, resources will be allocated appropriately to meet the missions of the combatant commanders and the National Defense Strategy. So there's a determination yet to follow on the breakdown between commands, but it'll be a very dynamic and fluid way in which that proceeds, based on the situation that we find ourselves in. STAFF: Next question. QUESTION: Thanks. (inaudible) with Jane's. Can you give us a sense of how or if interest on the national debt factors into your future budget planning? Because CBO, I think, last year, projected somewhere in the next 30 years, it would become about a third of federal spending. So does that start to squeeze out your discretionary funding anytime soon? NORQUIST: So let's go back to the chart that had the percent of GDP on it. Because I think this is a useful one to go. Slide four. So one of the things, while they're bringing the slide up, is to understand that when you look at the effect on spending and the national debt, defense has gone down consistently as a percent of GDP. And even after this increase, when you look at the out-years, we're only growing at the rate of inflation. Which means as the economy grows, it will continue to grow faster than the Department of Defense. So our share of the economy, our share of that process will continue to go down. And so it -- we think this strikes an appropriate balance between security and solvency. It's necessary to implement the National Defense Strategy. But the National Defense Strategy -- while it was not resource-constrained, it was resource-informed -- recognizes that the long-term competition requires the United States to be effective across a number of areas, economic growth and solvency. And so this is part of that, and I think the chart reflects how that is balanced. QUESTION: Any time in the next -- within this budget at least, that is not something you're concerned about? QUESTION: (inaudible) discretionary fund? NORQUIST: The thing I'm most concerned about is economic growth. And when you look at long-range competition, a growing economy is a significant differentiator. Yes, sir? QUESTION: (inaudible) with (inaudible) Agency, sir. I want -- I have a question about the counter-ISIS training program. There is a detail for Syria, the activity training activities in Syria, you have stated, $300 million. And also there is a $250 million for border security requirements related to the counter-ISIS mission. First, as the ISIS operations, anti-ISIS operations, are being folded up or kind of fading away, what are the details of this $300 million? How are you going to use the $300 million? And this $250 million for border security requirements, can you explain, what is it? Is it the one that formerly disclosed that it was -- if the U.S. is going to build up at 30,000 kind of border security force in northern Syria, or what is the detail of this $250 million? NORQUIST: I need to get back to you on the specifics of those programs. We have a series of train and equip initiatives inside the budget to enhance our ability to cooperate and work through and alongside our allies in that particular one. And the specifics of it, let's just take your question for the record and we'll get back to you with an answer, sir. STAFF: Yes, in the back. QUESTION: Joe Gould from Defense News. Forgive me if it was in there, but I didn't see a request for a BRAC round. Is that -- does that reflect some change in the current thinking, here, around viability of asking Congress for BRAC? NORQUIST: So you are correct. Very observant. You get the gold star. We did not ask for that in this budget. We've asked for it for a number of times in the past without much success. And so I think we're looking at doing two things, going forward. One is, working with Congress to find common areas where we can make reforms and changes that don't create the same types of obstacles. The other is that we are undergoing a financial-statement audit that includes a look at property, and assets and investments and improving the accuracy of the data behind it. And as a view of being able to take advantage of the data coming out of that process, to help us make better decision-making on real property. But, yes, you are correct, there is not request for another BRAC round in this budget. QUESTION: And do you have a sense of, overall, you know, in terms of quantifying the kinds of savings that you might reap from some of the reform efforts that -- that are detailed here, do you have a -- kind of a ballpark as to how much you might get back in investing in lethality? NORQUIST: I don't have a ballpark at this point. One of the things we've tried to be cautious about is, in past, people have often put in wedges, and then they've lost interest in the reform because they've assigned the piece. NORQUIST: And so we've tried to be very careful about working with the services, that as we see those savings captured, and are credible, then they can reinvest them. But we'll try to avoid some of the previous mistakes of how that's been handled. STAFF: We have time for just a few more questions, about five minutes. NORQUIST: OK, yes, sir? QUESTION: This budget sort of asks for more than $2 billion more in Iraq and Syria. I'm just curious why that is, given the talk of the drawdown and sort of the same amount of U.S. troops as the last budget. So I'm just curious why that might be as we're talking drawdown and a move towards ... NORQUIST: Are you talking about the change in OCO? QUESTION: Yes. NORQUIST: OK, so I think in the change in OCO, one of the things we actually -- EDI, in the European Deterrence Initiative. QUESTION: Specifically for Iraq and Syria. I think it was $15.3 billion as opposed to $13. NORQUIST: Right, there was a billion-dollar amendment I think we sent up in the fall. We laid it to the additional force presence that was there. If there's other differences in there, I'll have to check. They may be within some of the train-and-equip lines that are there as well. But we can get you a breakdown. Is there a particular program within that, or just sort of the delta between one year and the next? QUESTION: A breakdown, because I -- my understanding and from the previous question is that the train and equip is actually falling by 300. IERARDI: Yes. Could be, I'll go back and look at the specifics for you, but naturally because some of the achievement of some of the objectives that had originally been set ahead of schedule that may have adjusted some of the need for the resources. NORQUIST: Yes? QUESTION: Interestingly, your F&T account hasn't gone up all that much. I think its $13.7 billion. Last year it was like $13.3 billion. That is where a lot of the investments we keep hearing about typically live, the artificial intelligence and autonomous systems. Why isn't that account increasing to accommodate this new focus on great power competition? NORQUIST: So I believe it is increasing. I think your question is, is it increasing as fast? And I -- a lot of those technologies, there's a range from 61 up to, you know, 63, 64, where depending on the maturity of the technology where it's going into. But from hypersonics to autonomous to cyber, you'll see initiatives across those areas. Yes, sir? QUESTION: Mr. Comptroller, you've often compared the defense budget with the role of U.S. GDP. Do you think a country's defense budget should reflect a country's GDP growth? NORQUIST: Well, I don't think there's a requirement that the change in the budget reflect the change in the GDP growth. I think that's -- but that, what it shows you, is that as an economy is growing, the amount of it costs to support its defense, its other spending is affected. The economy is growing faster than as a share of a budget, you're going down, and there's additional resources for deficit reduction or other items. And so knowing whether you're trending above or below that in the long term makes a difference. QUESTION: And also what's your prediction of the Congress reaction to this proposal? Where do you think they might take away something and add a little something? And what do you think the final budget would look like? NORQUIST: So I believe that Congress is likely to act consistent with the legislation they just passed last week. So I expect them to function at the national security level at $700 billion in '18 and $716 billion in '19. They, of course, are free to make their own independent decisions on the programs. They do so every year, and we look forward to working with them on that process. QUESTION: Quick one. Were any programs terminated in this "let the good times roll" budget? IERARDI: I'm aware of the Air Force will have a proposal to terminate the recapitalization of JSTARS. QUESTION: I'm talking about a legacy program that's being bankrolled now versus something that they were going to bankroll. And anything, Mr. Norquist, that you can point to? NORQUIST: So there's been a shift -- I don't know that we have a major termination to announce. That wasn't, you know, part of the strategy. Part of it was relating to the new technologies and the areas of threats, and some of those will phase out as others come in. But there's not a dramatic one like that that I know of, instead of what he's just mentioned. Yes? QUESTION: Hi, Federal Computer Week. I just wanted to follow up on S&T comments. What's the DIUX investment look like? IERARDI: I think I have that. Give me one second. The DIUX is in '19 at $71 million. STAFF: Time for one more. NORQUIST: All right. Yes, ma'am. QUESTION: Sir, is there any chance that you'll end up in another C.R. if Congress can't come to terms on the spending lines even though they have the overall 700 and 716? NORQUIST: I have great confidence in the Congress' ability to move forward with this. I think that they're reached a tremendous bipartisan agreement. I think the Appropriations Committees are in position to move forward. The C.R. gives them a period of time to put that together. It's not easy to pull all the different pieces of the appropriation bills together, so I know it's a heavy lift. But I also know the staff there is very dedicated and I look forward to working with them to make this possible. And thank you, everybody. I appreciate you taking the time. We'll now be followed by the services. So I think there's a short break and then you'll get to ask specific service questions. END DEFENSE DEPARTMENT NEWS BRIEFING ON THE F.Y. 2019 ARMY BUDGET FEBRUARY 12, 2018 SPEAKERS: DIRECTOR, ARMY BUDGET, MAJOR GENERAL PAUL A. CHAMBERLAIN AND DEPUTY DIRECTOR, ARMY BUDGET, DAVIS S. WELCH LIEUTENANT COLONEL JASON BROWN, CHIEF OF MEDIA RELATIONS, ARMY PUBLIC AFFAIRS [*] QUESTION: We're just sitting here quietly. Can I ask you a quick question about the book? (UNKNOWN): No. (LAUGHTER) QUESTION: Is that green book -- the Army green books that were printed -- are those the correct numbers? Because the glossy <DOD overview is incorrect as far as OCO and base split (ph). (UNKNOWN): The green numbers. QUESTION: Those are right? (CROSSTALK) QUESTION: Thank you. (UNKNOWN): Interesting. (LAUGHTER) (UNKNOWN): And it starts (ph). BROWN: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Lieutenant Colonel Jason Brown. I'm the chief of media relations at Army Public Affairs. With me today is Major General Paul Chamberlain, the director of the Army budget, and Mr. Davis Welch is principal deputy. For about the next 30 minutes, we'll be briefing the Army 2019 budget overview. Afterwards, upon completion, we'll have about 10 minutes for questions. General Chamberlain, sir? CHAMBERLAIN: Good afternoon. I'm Major General Paul Chamberlain, the director of the Army budget. And, this afternoon, Mr. Davis Welch and I will present to you an overview of the Army's 2019 budget, which, when funded, will support the -- the National Defense Strategy. I will provide you an overview of the Army today, beginning with the global environment, followed by their -- by how this request supports the administration's strategic objectives and Army leadership priorities. We will then spend some time providing a by-appropriation (ph) view of the Army's request, highlighting key areas. America's Army must remain the world's preeminent ground force, capable to compete, deter and win decisively. To this end, the Army must be equipped, trained and ready to meet the ever-changing character of today's multi-domain battlefield. CHAMBERLAIN: Today, the Army has over 180,000 soldiers supporting the combatant commands worldwide. But more than 99,000 soldiers overseas in over 140 countries, supporting various types of missions, ranging from combat operations, partnering exercises and humanitarian assistance. The Army supports the 2018 National Defense Strategy by providing a combat-credible war-fighting force, postured and capable of deterring global competitors, preventing conflict and shaping the global security environment. The revisionist powers of China and Russia, the rogue regimes, such as Iran and North Korea, along with transnational threat organizations, particularly terrorist groups, pose a broad range of very real threats to U.S. interests. Our regional competitors in the Pacific and in Europe have been studying our strengths and our vulnerabilities for more than a decade. Their modernization efforts are slowly eroding our competitive advantage, and this budget request addresses that, by providing the necessary resources to ensure the Army's superiority. The Army must be able to, if necessary, win in a multi-domain battlefield, a battlefield that requires integrated capabilities in fire, cyber, electronic warfare and space, and be capable of striking the enemy and improving -- and improving friendly survivability against a sophisticated enemy in a contested environment. The Army's role and the nation's ability to maintain peace through strength requires us to refocus and strengthen our force-on-force decisive action capability, maintain our counterinsurgency competencies for the current fight, and develop superior capabilities for warfare in all domains. Attaining a level of overmatch underpins the nation's diplomacy Overmatch deters aggression. It helps to shape the international environment, and protect our nation's interests. The secretary of the Army, and the chief of staff of the Army are committed to providing the nation a lethal, agile, and capable ground force, both now and into the future. Key to this effort is predictable, consistent funding from year to year, every year, commensurate with our requirements. So let's look at the Army's budget over time. As you can clearly see from the chart, the -- the Army's budget -- total budget declined from fiscal year '12 to fiscal year '16. During the same time period, inflation averaged 1 one to 2.5 percent a year, which further reduced the Army's buying power. The enactment of the F.Y. '17 Consolidated Appropriations Act significantly increased funding levels, to begin halting the Army's readiness decline. The F.Y. '18 budget request, assuming full enactment, will continue to improve readiness. Likewise, the fiscal year '19 request also continues improving readiness, as well as restoring end strength, and investing appreciably in the Army's modernization efforts, providing an army with -- our Army with technological overmatch. Specific to the base budget, which is depicted in blue, the Army sustained a level of decisive action readiness, while it conducted counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. As base funding declined due to fiscal pressures like the debt ceiling and the Budget Control Act, the Army had to manage more risk in force-on-force war-fighting competencies, and modernization investments. The two bipartisan budget agreements provided the necessary flexibility by enacting overseas contingency operations funding to mitigate some of the impacts of these fiscal constraints, and avoiding even more reduction to the Army's current and future readiness. The funding the Army received for overseas contingency operations also trended downward over the same timeframe. This decline correlates the drawdown of force manning levels in Iraq and Afghanistan during those years. However, the fiscal year '17 OCO funding increased, as manning requirements in Iraq and Syria grew, and the enemy threat increased, requiring the Army to invest in technological advancements to improve soldier lethality and survivability. The combined view of base and OCO funding shows the F.Y. '19 budget request as a continuation of the enacted F.Y. '17 Consolidated Appropriations Act, and the F.Y. '18 budget request, to rebuild warfighting readiness. CHAMBERLAIN: However, sequestration remains a threat, and long-term legislative relief from it, in conjunction with timely enactment of increased funding over multiple years, will ensure the Army is able to remain the preeminent ground-fighting force in the world, and fulfill its obligations to the National Defense Strategy. With this budget submission, the Army continues its efforts to become more lethal, resilient and ready in order to face current and future threats. The budget themes listed represent the framework in -- from which the Army will provide the combatant commands the best trained and ready land forces in the world. This budget request funds ongoing counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations around the globe. It also funds counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency training, ensuring the competencies mastered over the past decade and a half of fighting are sustained. The resources applied in this budget for additional end strength will increase unit readiness levels and support the creation of select units to acquire necessary capabilities, taking significant steps towards increasing Army's warfighting readiness and increasing the Army's capacity for force-on-force decisive action. This budget request funds modernization reform initiatives that will increase the Army's agility and lethality, providing for more timely, efficient and cost-conscious modernization of critical platforms and infrastructure. In fiscal year '19, the Army will continue to empower cross-functional teams to champion the six modernization priorities: long-range decision fires, next generation combat vehicles, future vertical lift, the Army network, air and missile defense and soldier lethality, in order to bring new and emerging technology to the battlefield sooner. Ultimately, these modernization efforts will allow the Army to expand technological overmatch and competitive advantage against near-peer competitors and prepare for other emerging threats, resulting in a more lethal combined arms force that is capable of responding rapidly to a global crisis. The fiscal year '19 budget invests in infrastructure upgrades that will increase the capacity of our organic industrial base. It also improves the condition of training facilities and provides for more realistic training environment, which also improves readiness. This budget also invests in our power-projection infrastructure, which is critical to ensuring the Army remains rapidly deployable. It also resources emergency deployment readiness exercises by land and by sea, known as EDREs and SEDREs, to improve our global responsiveness. In addition to these exercises, this budget funds joint interoperability and international partnership exercises that demonstrate the Army's power-projection capability, both unilaterally and with our partners, providing confidence to our allies and serving as a deterrent to our adversaries. As the Army increases its warfighting readiness, we remain committed to achieving the highest levels of accountability and stewardship, by meeting (ph) statutory requirements to develop and maintain a culture that supports auditable records at all levels of the Army, as required by the 2010 NDAA. Tied closely to audit readiness is process reform, which will improve the way we do business. These budget themes, framed by the secretary of the Army's priorities of readiness, modernization and reform, demonstrate the Army's unwavering commitment and investment in its soldiers, civilians and families. This budget will help to further the goal of building a more lethal, agile and capable Army. The Army's base budget request of $148.4 billion, a growth of almost $9.5 billion over the F.Y. '18 request. These funding totals reflect the combined resources -- resource requirement for all three components: the regular Army, the National Guard and the Army Reserve. And as you can see, it is broken out into the major appropriation categories. I will point out specific budget information by component and by appropriation in greater detail later in this briefing. However, I will now describe the aggregate level where the growth has occurred and how the growth supports improved readiness and modernization. The growth in the operation and maintenance accounts, the military pay accounts, of $3.1 billion and $2.6 billion, directly improve total -- the total Army's readiness. CHAMBERLAIN: This growth supports the pay for the increased end strength, to improve unit manning levels and the additional training required to achieve the highest levels of readiness. The majority of the growth in the investment accounts are in areas that will increase warfighter readiness, soldier lethality and force-on-force capability. The Army's request for procurement in RDT&E grew approximately $4 billion from last year's request. Further details on each of these appropriations will be discussed later in the briefing. The Army's total end strength at the end of Fiscal Year '12 was over 1,131,000 soldiers, and was declining steadily from year to year, with a planned decrease to as low as 990,000 soldiers by the end of fiscal year '17. During this time, the Army took steps to reduce end strength across all three components, yet remain responsive to the combatant command requirements. Army senior leaders made specific force-structure decisions about unit end strength and Army capabilities, accepting risk in certain areas to maintain the level of readiness necessary to address the threat, while avoiding a hollow force. The 2017 NDAA authorized a total end strength of 1,018,000 soldiers, reversing the plan drawdown. This authorized end strength increase address unit personnel requirements necessary to arrest the Army's readiness decline. Congress has since authorized an additional 8,500 end strength increase in the 2018 NDAA. If funded, these additional soldiers will continue to fill units, as well as reconstitute lost capability that resulted from a smaller force designed to face a different threat. The end strength in fiscal year '18 will build select capability, that increases warfighter readiness and fills capability gaps associated with the multi-domain fight. The Army requests in end strength of -- end strength increase of over -- of 4,000 in fiscal year '19, building upon the authorized F.Y. '18 growth. These forces will be used to increase the Army's lethality and capacity, by resourcing specific units such as fires, air defense, logistics and others. The military personnel accounts for the largest portion of the Army's base budget. The fiscal year '19 request of $60.6 billion is an increase of $2.6 billion from F.Y. '18. The increased funding fully compensates the 1,030,500 soldier Army, and represents a 4.5 percent growth in the Army's military pay accounts. This growth not only supports the additional end strength, but also covers the 2.6 percent pay raise and increased allowances for housing and subsistence, of 2.9 and 3.4 percent respectively. The military personnel accounts also include funding for recruiting and retention incentives, education benefits, permanent change-of-station moves and training days in the Reserve components. In order to obtain the higher end strength in F.Y. '19, the Army requires timely funding within the military personnel accounts and the operation and maintenance accounts, to support advertising, recruiting and retention efforts. The active Army's Operation and Maintenance Account, OMA, represents the second largest appropriation within the Army and provides for the day-to-day requirements, which is -- which includes, but is not limited to, training, equipment maintenance, transportation and facility sustainment. The fiscal year '19 request for OMA is approximately $3 billion over the F.Y. '18 request. This funding continues to restore the Army's core decisive action capability, through home-station training and exercises. It further resources 20 decisive action combat training center exercises in Fiscal Year '19. Four of these exercises are specifically for the Army National Guard, emphasizing the interoperability between the active component and Reserve components, while also ensuring the Army's brigade combat teams are trained and ready to face near-peer competitors. The OMA request also increases the availability of armor and infantry brigade combat teams, referred to as BCTs. It also supports the security force assistance brigades, known as SFABs. SFABs are designed to conduct advise and assist missions with our partners and allies, thus reducing the demand for armor and infantry brigades that conduct those missions now. CHAMBERLAIN: This will ultimately increase our capacity two-fold; first, by increasing the availability of our decisive action BCTs, which would otherwise be called upon to conduct advise-and-assist missions; and secondly, by increasing our allies' combat effectiveness. This request for OMA will then -- will help to ensure the arm -- active Army's equipment is at the highest possible state of readiness. The request invests in the organic and industrial base and the Army's ammunition management programs, improving the Army's overall warfighting readiness. Within the fiscal year '19 request, the Army improves it's global posture and rapid response capability by investing in and modernizing its pre-positioned stocks and by conducting joint interoperability exercises with partners and allies in the European and Pacific theaters. Specific to the reserve components, the Army's 2019 budget request supports a $10.3 billion O&M requirement for the Army National Guard and U.S. Army Reserve. For the Army National Guard, its 2019 O&M request is aligned with its 2018 request. Consistent with the regular Army, it seeks to continue restoring readiness and base operation support, as well as providing funding to continue supporting family and soldier programs that promote the wellbeing of the Army's most valuable asset, our people. With an end strength of 343,500, the Army National Guard focuses on mission-specific unit training in order to increase unit proficiency. For the U.S. Army Reserve, their $2.9 billion O&M budget request supports 79 functional brigades, its (ph) three installations and over 700 reserve centers, as well as the professional education and specialized skills training for 199,500 soldiers. Now that we've spent the past two minutes discussing the Army's increase in capacity and warfighter readiness, I will transition to Mr. Davis Welch, who will help present the Army's fiscal year 2019 investment in modernization priorities. Davis? WELCH: Thank you. Good afternoon. It's my pleasure to come before you to discuss the F.Y. '19 president's budget submission with respect to the Army's investment counts (ph). The technical overmatch the United States Army enjoyed over the last several decades has enabled our Army to defeat potential enemy formations, but it has eroded. While we focused our resources to defeat an adaptive enemy in counterinsurgency war and saw incremental improvements to exist in -- existing, proven platforms, our competitors and potential adversaries acquired technologically advanced weaponry and improved their warfighting capabilities. The result is the Army will be tested in every domain of warfare: space, cyber, maritime, air and land. The Army is at an inflection point. We can no longer afford to defer maintenance. We must expand capabilities, and we must develop new ones. In response to the challenge, and in support of the National Defense Strategy, the Army developed its modernization strategy with a focus of making soldiers and units more lethal to fight and win our nation's wars. With increased procurement funding requested in F.Y. '19, the Army addresses capability gaps by increasing investments to improve mobility, survivability and lethality in combat, and combat service support vehicles and aircraft. Requested ammunition and missile procurements addressed the needs of the combatant commanders and the renewed emphasis (ph) of decisive action in the training base. The upper right of this chart reflects the Army's six modernization priorities. Our modernization strategy involves institutional reforms to consolidate Army modernization end to end. It requires a culture of innovation and accountability. It requires improving the Army's requirements, research, experimentation, capability development, procurement and fielding processes. With this president's budget request, the Army realigned science and technology efforts to its modernization priorities and significantly expanded prototyping. WELCH: The lower-right pie chart shows the Army's capability portfolios. In the next two slides on procurement, I will highlight how our budget request supports those priorities. For the procurement appropriations, our F.Y. '19 request is $3.3 billion over our F.Y. '18 request. And, as you can see, the increases are in the weapons and tracked combat vehicles and other procurement Army appropriations. Over the past several years, under constrained budgets, the Army endeavored to balance, but ended up prioritizing near-term readiness over modernization. With our F.Y. '19 request in procurement funds, the Army more robustly addresses its modernization needs, strengthening our formations with superior capabilities. To highlight these efforts, I'll focus procurement in four capability portfolios. Within the aviation portfolio, the Army continues incremental modernization of existing fleets to provide the most capable rotary-winged (ph) aircraft to the operational force. Through a combination of new build and remanufacturing older Apache aircraft, this request delivers Model E (ph) aircraft with the ability for manned and unmanned teaming. Apache pilots can remotely fly a Gray Eagle and shadow unmanned aerial vehicles and control their payloads. With multi-year new build contract represents -- the multi-year new build contract represents a cost avoidance of $425 million between F.Y.s '17 through '22. This request replaces older Black Hawk helicopters with the latest M model, delivering an advanced digital (ph) avionic suite for improved situational awareness, improved rotor blades and engine for better performance and lower operating costs, and integrated vehicle health maintenance -- health management system for more reliable combat aircraft. The new multi-year build contract represents a cost avoidance of over $500 million between F.Y. '17 through '21. Additionally, this request procures special operations Chinook aircraft. The G Model Chinook features more sophisticated avionics than earlier models and includes a digital common (ph) avionics -- avionics architecture system. In the ground maneuver portfolio, we seek to accelerate the speed with which we are modernizing our brigade combat teams through a combination of incremental improvements and proven platforms and new equipment fielding to increase capabilities in mobility, survivability and lethality. We are requesting funds to improve Abrams tanks. Enhancements will incorporate a second-generation forward-looking infrared radar in the gunner's primary site and a commander's independent thermal viewer. It'll provide an upgraded armor package, as well as improved engine and transmission. Funds requested to expand Bradley Fighting Vehicle capabilities will procure a newer, larger engine and a new transmission and a smart power management system for better electrical power distribution. We will -- we will procure armored multi-purpose vehicles, or M.V.s (ph), replacing Vietnam area (ph) -- era personnel carriers in our armored combat brigade formations, fulfilling the Army strategy of protection, mobility, lethality and interoperability. Requested funds procure Paladin Integrated Management sets comprised of self-propelled howitzer and a tracked ammunition carrier, providing greater lethality, survivability and a commonality with existing systems in the ABCTs. WELCH: When combined with our European Deterrence Initiative funding, this president's budget request equates to modernizing 1-1/2 armored brigade combat teams. With respect to the air and missile defense portfolio, and consistent with our focus on competitors and near-peer threats, the F.Y. '19 request provides critical munitions for combatant commanders. We are replenishing wartime stockpiles of preferred and advanced munitions to increase lethality. Our P.B. request increases procurement of GMLRS rockets, as well as funds the facilitization to increase the production rate. This request represents a 62 percent increase over F.Y. '18 in the ATACMS service life extension program. This request, in addition to procuring Patriot MSC missiles, procures Patriot launcher modification kits. The MSC missiles provide performance enhancements that counter new and evolving threats, while the modification kits allow the launchers to fire both the PAC-2 and the MSC missile. In the mission command portfolio, the F.Y. '19 requests (ph) continues the Army's initiative to deliver a survivable, secure, mobile and expeditionary network capable of providing situational awareness and joint interoperability, enabling the Army to fight tonight. The Army restructured mission command, focusing on programs that met mission requirements and added capability. Requested funds continue fielding Increment 2 of Warfighter Information Network, or WIN-T, to all active components, infantry and Stryker BCTs. Funding requests supports the fielding of six IBCTs and one Stryker BCT from items that were procured with F.Y. '18 funds. The Joint Battle Command-Platform is the Army's next-generation friendly force tracking system, equipping soldiers with a faster satellite network, secure data encryption and advanced logistics. JBC-P is accelerated to baseline all Army formations and fill that critical capability gap of mounted mission command. This chart lists selected procurement programs and the requested quantities. To provide a complete picture of the procurement program, this chart reflects both -- both base and OCO requests in munitions and EDI replenishments. We seek Congressional support in our president's budget request for these programs, as the Army must modernize to revitalize capabilities, providing overmatch, and to support the rest of the joint force. Turning towards research, development, test and evaluation, the Army's request is $700 million more than its F.Y. '18 request. Funding accelerates incremental upgrades to existing systems, delivering greater capabilities to our soldiers sooner, and advances cutting-edge technologies to gain and retain overmatch against competitors and potential adversaries. The Army established its modernization priorities last fall, and our then-acting secretary directed a comprehensive review of science and technology portfolio to ensure proper alignment of S&T funds against those priorities. The review also determined what efforts to accelerate to retain or extend overmatch capabilities. While much of the RDT&E budget request already supported the Army's priorities, this review resulted in $234 million being redirected in the S&T portfolio. I will now highlight initial efforts in each of the six priorities. WELCH: Long-range precision fires: S&T investments focus on critical technological areas of propulsion for extended-range missiles and extended cannon artillery. In F.Y. '19, we'll conduct a concept development for a land-based anti-ship missile, a single multi-mission attack missile and extended-range cannon artillery. Next generation combat vehicle requested S&T funds, we'll explore combat vehicle design, innovative vehicle protection concepts and advanced-power generation and distribution technologies. Concept-development efforts included active protection systems and a robotic combat vehicle. Future vertical lift S&T funds emphasizes critical technology and aviation protection and aircraft survivability, improves situational awareness and advanced power systems. Concept development efforts include next-generation tactical unmanned aerial system, degraded visual environment sensors and advanced engines and drivetrains. In addition, we will continue flight demonstrations of the two joint multi-role technology demonstrator aircraft. Network S&T funding supports advancing cyber electromagnetic -- magnetic activities and mission-command applications. Funds emphasize concept development and fiber operations and modular radio-frequency communications, as well as developing precision positioning, navigation and timing, and a global positioning system denied battle space. Air and missile defense-requested S&T funds will access technologies and high energy lasers and advance seekers and advance propulsion. Concept development includes multi mission high-energy laser and a high-energy laser tactical vehicle demonstrator. Supporting soldier lethality requested S&T funds support technology areas of soldier and squad weapons, training and prolonged field medical care. Concept development includes hostile-fire locator system and advanced fire-control technologies. As these S&T funds mature, they will provide technology options to the cross-functional teams or CFTs. Each modernization priority is supported by one or more CFT, organized to exploit key provisions of the acquisition reforms enabled by Congress. CFT objectives are to narrow existing and projected capability gaps, develop requirements, inform broader development of the capability areas within the modernization priorities, execute technical demonstrations and rapidly transition leader-approved capabilities to programs of record and enter the Army's acquisition process. To jumpstart the CFTs -- the CFT efforts and to facilitate the initial capability development, this budget request of $38 million for experimentation, prototyping and technical demonstrations. I will now highlight several areas outside the S&T there are of significance. Long-range precision fires is being developed as a replacement for (inaudible) missiles. The long-range precision fires will have increased range, lethality and an open-systems architecture. F.Y. '19 funding supports two-technology maturation and risk-reduction competitive prototyping flight demonstration agreements. Mobile protective firepower provides protected long-range precision direct-fire capability for infantry brigade combat teams. F.Y. '19 funding enabled a Milestone B decision, followed by an engineering and manufacturing development contract award for up to two vendors to provide prototypes, ballistic hulls and test articles. WELCH: Combat-vehicle prototyping focuses on the development of the next-generation combat vehicle, integrating new and emerging technologies in its design, improving lethality and protection, while reducing weight and power requirements. Requested funds support concept development, trade studies, technology maturation, testing, prototyping and demonstration of combat vehicles, both manned and unmanned. Requested funds for short-range air defense address the Army's critical shortfall defending maneuver formations and other tactical echelons from low-altitude, fixed-wing, rotary-wing, unmanned aerial systems, rocket artillery and mortar threats. F.Y. '19 funds complete fabrication production representative -- fabrication of production representative articles, and begins testing to achieve an urgent material release toward solutions to mitigate this capability gap. In summary, Army RDT&E investments implement the Army's modernization priorities through early integration of concepts, prototyping and testing, to ensure future generations of soldiers continue to be the most lethal fighting force in the world. One facet of readiness is the Army's infrastructure, providing first-rate facilities on our installations where soldiers and civilians work, train and live. We require ready and resilient installations that serve as power projection platforms to shape the global security environment. This chart represents new construction and is a companion effort to the dollars spent in operations in maintenance appropriations for facility sustainment, restoration and modernization. The military construction budget of $1.25 billion is across all three components: regular Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserves. Construction projects are in 21 states, Germany, Honduras, Korea and Kuwait, And the Army family housing account totaling just over $700 million, which supports the day-to-day operation and maintenance of existing units worldwide, as well as six new construction projects in Wisconsin, Puerto Rico, Germany, Italy and Korea. The Army's BRAC funding request supports environmental clean-up, restoration and conveyance of excess properties at locations designated under previous BRAC rounds. CHAMBERLAIN: Thank you, Davis. Also within the Army's budget request are several other base requirements that are funded separately outside the main appropriations we've addressed. This year's requests include $71 million for the Arlington National Cemetery to fund the day-to-day operations for the final resting place for our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. The Army is also requesting $994 million for the congressionally mandated chemical de-militarization program that demonstrates the Army's environmental responsibility. Fiscal year '19 funding supports continued plant operations at the Pueblo, Colorado, and Bluegrass, Kentucky, chemical agent destruction pilot plants, as well as the -- the Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Project, supporting both sites and their surrounding communities. The Army has been managing large overseas contingency operations budgets since 2001. Funding in this account increases and decreases as contingency operations expand and contract. The Army's 2019 OCO budget request represents requirements in military personnel, operations and maintenance, research and development and acquisition. This year's multi-component OCO request totals $33.7 billion. The 2019 OCO request supports Operation Freedom Sentinel, Operation Spartan Shield, and Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq. It also supports the European Deterrence Initiative and counter-terrorism operations around the globe. CHAMBERLAIN: The request includes approximately $5.2 billion for the Afghan Security Forces fund and $1.4 billion for the counter-ISIS train and equip requirement. The $3.2 billion of MILPERS portion of this OCO request primarily supports mobilized reserve component soldiers and maintains the current end strength levels in Afghanistan and Iraq. The O&M represents almost two-thirds of the Army's OCO request, which includes the pass-through accounts. The funding supports theater operations, such as mobilization, transportation, force protection, base operation and equipment reset. The procurement accounts provide funding for replacement of battle loss, ammunition consumption and pre-positioned stocks in Europe. As I recap, I must highlight the Army's 2019 budget is a strategy-based request aimed at achieving a broad range of requirements that will help to ensure the Army is able to compete against China and Russia, deter Iran and North Korea and respond to any threat around the globe. Specifically, this budget builds capacity for decisive action, providing the nation with a more lethal ground force. It improves interoperability with our allies, the reserve components and our sister services. Further, this budget demonstrates our stewardship and responsibility to the American taxpayer through reform initiatives and audit readiness, improving our ability to deliver high states of readiness affordably and efficiently. Ladies and gentlemen, outlined by the National Defense Strategy, the Army's F.Y. '19 budget request resources the path the secretary of the Army and the chief of staff of the Army established for expanding the Army's overmatch, ensuring we are a combat-credible warfighting force postured to deter global competitors, prevent conflict and protect the national security interests of our country. The Army stands ready to compete, deter and win. Thank you for your attention, and we're now ready to take some questions. STAFF: Ladies and gentlemen, we have about five minutes for questions, so -- yes, guys -- yeah, sorry -- so, when called on, please state your name and organization, and then we'll -- please limit yourself to one follow-up, OK? All right. And, Jen? QUESTION: Hi. Jen Judson with Defense News. I wanted to ask a little bit more about the European deterrence initiative. It looks like the entire account (ph) is up at $6.5 billion this year, from $4.8 billion last year. What's the Army's portion of that? And can you elaborate or break down what exactly the Army's portion will be going towards this year -- just a little more granularity on that? And it's my understanding that there will be a troop increase this year, any (ph) increase in force presence, but that that may happen in 2020. So can you talk about what you're doing to prepare for that? CHAMBERLAIN: So, as you stated, it is up. A majority of it is on the investment side, and I'll allow Mr. Welch to address some of the investment pieces. WELCH: Within the EDI for 2019, it's a quantity of 40 Abrams for $455 million; 61 MSE missiles for $260 million; 66 AMPVs, armored multi-purpose vehicles, for $230 million; 61 Bradleys for $205 million; and HIMARS rockets, $171 million. That's the bulk of the increase. We're still doing the heel-to-toes and that sort of thing. But this is -- this is getting at combatant commanders' requirements, stockpiling munitions, and it's also getting to the modernization of brigade combat teams. (CROSSTALK) QUESTION: (OFF-MIKE) as well, those -- or are those separate -- addition to the ones that (inaudible) on the table? WELCH: The -- the chart that listed the selected equipment -- that was both based on OCO combined. QUESTION: Just to follow up... (CROSSTALK) CHAMBERLAIN: So, for the -- for the personnel -- so we'll have to get the -- get back to you on that with the numbers. So -- and Jason will take care of that for us (ph). QUESTION: Do you have (ph) a breakdown of what the total Army section of the EDI (inaudible)... CHAMBERLAIN: We'll -- we'll make sure that we get you that. OK. QUESTION: I may have read the slide wrong, but, on 155-millimeter shells, it said it was going up from $16 million to $145 million. Is that meant to replenish wartime stocks, or is this something new? WELCH: It's a replenishment of wartime stocks, and also, building stockage in -- in theaters' requirements, for -- for mission requirements. The one -- the... BROWN: (inaudible) Sorry. WELCH: I have to go back through and double-check the number. The number that -- $1.5 million seems a bit high. BROWN: $140,000. WELCH: $140,000? BROWN: No, around (ph). WELCH: Oh, thank you. BROWN: (OFF-MIKE) QUESTION: Hi, Lauren Williams (ph), Federal Computer Week. I just wanted to ask, what's the Army's planned DIUx investment would be, and the use of other transaction authorities to modernize. WELCH: I'm sorry, I missed... BROWN: DIUx. QUESTION: DIUx investment, and the use -- the planned use of other transaction authorities to help modernize. WELCH: The Army continues to use other transaction authority to help modernize. I don't have the -- the amounts handy, but we can provide what was done with -- with this past fiscal year to -- to be able to demonstrate that our -- our commitment to use that as -- as an opportunity, or an -- an option. QUESTION: And that would be kind of like a -- a blueprint for F.Y. '19 and beyond, what was done last year? WELCH: We -- we'll explore all options of -- of trying to accelerate the modernization, to bring things on quicker, and -- and other transaction authority, and DIUx is -- is one option to be able to do that. QUESTION: Hi, James Drew from Aviation Week. Could you say if there's been any rephasing in the future political procurement plan, or acquisition plan? I think it's jumped to number three Army modernization priority, so could you say if there's been any major change to that program? CHAMBERLAIN: On future vertical lift, there's several efforts that are ongoing there to try to accelerate the technologies, but any change to the rephasing, we'll have to get back to you on that. I'm not familiar with the change of the rephasing, unless you have something on that, Davis. WELCH: I'm not familiar with that either. QUESTION: If -- if there has been any acceleration of that program, given that we've got one prototype flying now, and has there been any increase in Army push for that program to come online sooner? CHAMBERLAIN: The -- the push is to bring as many technologies forward, as fast as we can. Specific to the future vertical lift, anything that is available, and that we can accelerate, that's what we're going to go after. BROWN: Folks, we've got time for about just one more question. QUESTION: Can you clarify, the answer to Jen's (ph) question? The Abrams and Bradleys that you're adding for the EDI, is that all for the Third Brigade -- Armored Brigade that is supposed to be in Europe, or is this something in addition to that? WELCH: (Inaudible) more towards completion of the Second Armored Brigade combat team, pre-position (inaudible). QUESTION: The second pre-position (inaudible). OK, thank you. WELCH: These are all pre-position equipment. It's all for pre-positioned equipment. (UNKNOWN): Yeah, yes. QUESTION: Like the 48 -- these would be modified Abrams that would be earmarked to be pre-positioned in Europe? (UNKNOWN): Yes. QUESTION: Gotcha. Thanks. BROWN: Sir, we've got -- we've got to make way for the Navy. I'm sorry we cut you off, but thank you all for coming. Major General Scanlan will be hosting a media roundtable tomorrow to answer more of your questions, from 9:30 to 10:00 A.M. For follow-up questions and details in attending the roundtable, please contact Wayne Hall (ph) (inaudible), and his number is (703) 693-7589. Again, Wayne Hall (ph) at (703) 693-7589. Thank you. END DEFENSE DEPARTMENT NEWS BRIEFING ON THE F.Y. 2019 NAVY BUDGET FEBRUARY 12, 2018 SPEAKERS: DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY FOR BUDGET REAR ADMIRAL BRIAN E. LUTHER [*] STAFF: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here. I would like to introduce Rear Admiral Brian E. Luther, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for budget. After (inaudible) the Navy's P.B. '19 budget, time permitting, he'll be available to answer questions. Without further ado, Admiral Luther. LUTHER: Thank you. Good afternoon. I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to brief the Department of the Navy's fiscal year 2019 president's budget request. This brief address is the third step of the Department of Defense's multi-year effort that increases funds to build capability and capacity. The first step began in February 2017, with our request for additional appropriations to address immediate warfighting needs. The second followed closely in May, with our fiscal year '18 request which, when enacted, will address multiple holes or programmatic deficits caused by the Budget Control Act, or BCA, and numerous continuing resolutions, or C.R.s. Next slide, please. The agenda for the brief is listed here. The funding priorities set by Secretary Mattis in January 2017 remain and I will briefly touch on the new National Security Strategy and the National Defense Strategy which, going forward, I will refer to as the NDS. The NDS calls for sustained and predictable funding. I will discuss how the increased funding of the recent Bipartisan Budget Act, or BBA, completes the third step, in alignment with the NDS. I will close the brief with topics of reform and audit, as the department understands and appreciates the responsibility associated with the stewardship of the trust and treasure of our nation. The next slide begins with the recently published National Security Strategy, which identifies four vital national interests: protect the American people, homeland and way of life; promote American prosperity; preserve peace through strength; and advance American influence. In alignment with the National Security Strategy, the NDS directs the department to compete, deter and win in a strategic environment described as an "ever-more lethal and disruptive battlefield, combined across domains and conducted at increasing speed and reach." It also identifies the long-term strategic competitions with China and Russia are the principal priorities for the department, which require both increased and sustained investment. Concurrently, Navy and Marine Corps forces will be tasked to deter and counter aggressive rogue nations like North Korea and Iran, and defeat terrorist threats to the United States. The NDS has three lines of effort: rebuild military readiness as we build a more lethal joint force; to strengthen alliances as we attract new partners; and reform the department's business practices for greater performance and affordability. The Department of the Navy component of the NDS will be addressed through the secretary of the Navy's priorities of people, capability and processes; the Navy's overarching plan, known as The Navy The Nation Needs; and the Marine Corps operating concept which will generate the force of choice. The NDS lays out threats facing our country in the next slide, which shows how operations are contested in every domain by great power competitors, unconventional forces, by state and non-state actors, all of which who -- seek to challenge the rules-based global order and threaten the global security environment. The global employment of naval forces remains extensive, as shown on the next slide. At this moment, over 100,000 sailors and Marines are forward base-deployed around the world. A few examples from the last year are: in November, seven of the fleet's 11 aircraft carriers were operating under way at the same time. Three, the USS Ronald Reagan, Nimitz and Theodore Roosevelt, were on deployment. The USS Carl Vinson and John C. Stennis were training in the Pacific. And the Abraham Lincoln and the Gerald R. Ford were operating in the Atlantic. The Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group, with other ships, was deployed for more than two months to support multiple hurricane relief efforts after Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria caused damage across Texas, Florida, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. LUTHER: And as a testament to our ship depot maintenance efforts, the 220-year-old Constitution left dry dock after a two-year restoration. This slide shows the hotspots and choke points of today, many of which the sailors and Marines aboard a newly commissioned Constitution would recognize. The next slide represents the environments for today's sailors and Marines. Next slide, please. The NDS describes growing competition in general, and this slide shows the specific importance of the maritime domain, displayed in why this shipping traffic, which represents 90 percent of global trade. Under the sea is an area of increasing importance as well. The tan lines represent undersea cables, over which 99 percent of all international data is carried. Not only are those cables eight times faster, but only 3 percent of that data could be reconstituted using satellites. The red circles show conflict zones or hot spots, where transits through the sea could be easily impeded. The green circles represent major shipping ports. Blue cloudy areas to the north are ice caps for emerging shipping lanes. Purple areas are oil and natural gas resources. And diamonds are mineral deposits. Trade, information, resources and free access to all are critically important to the continued prosperity of the global economy. Next slide, please. The NDS has stated that we are emerging from a period of strategic atrophy, aware that our competitive military advantage has been eroding. That erosion is displayed on this slide as the gray area, and is the difference between the black line, which represents the 2012 budget, the last instance where strategy and budget were aligned, and the purple line which represents inactive budget values. The areas founded in time at F.Y. '17 as the increases in fiscal year '18 were provided to address these readiness shortfalls. The gray area then represents the deficits accrued across all capabilities that create our military advantage and sets the recovery challenge before us. As this erosion accrue over time, it will take time to restore it. The final requirement for the restoration of readiness is the stability of both time and resources. Assuming the BBA in enacted in late March, the first 18 months of F.Y. '17 and '18 will include the longest C.R. in DOD history, the fourth longest C.R. in DOD history, five months of enacted budget authorities across two fiscal years, and two government shutdowns. When this brief was built, we were executing fiscal year '18 under three possible funding levels, which is displayed on the slide: a C.R. funding, president's budget submitted, or possible congressional action. The BBA has already provided needed predictability by clarifying the funding levels for '18 and '19. The 2012 NDS saw the nation at a period of transition as Al Qaida was on the path to defeat. After the passage of the then BCA, it directed a smaller, leaner force with a global presence and the ability to defeat and deter adversaries. The current NDS states interstate strategic competition and not terrorism is now the primary concern in U.S. national security, and directs departments to build a lethal joint force sufficient to sustain American influence and ensure favorable balances of power that safeguard the free and open international order. As mentioned earlier, long-term strategic competition are the principle priorities for the department, and require both increase in sustained investment. This concern was addressed by BBA, as shown on the next slide. While the final enacted numbers of F.Y. '18 are being worked, we now know the DOD top lines for '18 and '19. The need for stable and predictable funding is highlighted here, as well. Stable and predictable funding restores time to the services to execute the plans that were deliberately created to build the lethal joint force required by the NDS. The Marine Corps' overarching plans to support this strategy is referred to as the Marine Operating Concept, which generates the force of choice. The Navy's overarching plans to support this strategy is referred to as the Navy the Nation Needs. The pillars common to these plans are readiness, capability, capacity, manning, network and operating concepts. LUTHER: The department is grateful for the increased funding and has worked diligently in this request to ensure the funding provides and protects and sustains the readiness gains of '18 and creates a balanced warfighting force with the capabilities needed for the fight and the capacity to win the fight. Next slide. After two congressional emergency budget amendments, the F.Y. '18 request totals $181.4 billion; $172.8 on base, and $8.6 billion in OCO. This request increases $12.6 billion, to a total of $194.1 billion; $179.1 billion in base, and $15 billion in OCO. The final split between base and OCO is being worked as part of the BBA. As the split may change, the accounts (ph) have been totaled, with the current split provided parenthetically. Operations and maintenance increased $800 million, to $63.4 billion; military personnel increased $2.1 billion, to $50.2 billion; procurement accounts increased $8 billion, to $58.5 billion; research and development increased $800 million, to $18.6 billion; infrastructure increased $900 million, to a total of $3.4 billion. The next section of slides provide a detailed overview of how the department's (ph) balanced funding increases the pillars to generate lethal naval and Marine Corps elements of the joint force. Our ability to complete our mission rests on the entire Navy-Marine Corps team, sailors and Marines, active duty and reserves, our civilian teammates and all of our families. In this request, the active Navy force will increase 7,500 billets, to a total of 30 -- 335,400. This growth will eliminate gaps of T (ph), as well as grow the force to match additional force structure. This growth will be -- will use a balanced approach of retention and accessions. We are beginning to see the impacts of an improving economy on our recruiting and retention, as we increasingly compete with the civilian sector for the same talent. To better compete, this request funds a pay raise of 2.6 percent and substantially increased both enlistment and retention bonuses. Specific growth in this request includes funding our total ownership cost, strength increases for four C.G.s, completing phase modernization, and to support Special Operation Force growth. In this request, the Navy Reserve force will increase 100 billets to support operational requirements. Next slide. In this request, the active Marine Corps force will increase 1,100 billets, to 186,100. The increased number of Marines is informed by the Marine operating concept, and is balanced across the pillars to provide a more experiences, a better trained and more capable force with the special skills required for special operations, intelligence operations, electronic, information and cyber warfare. In this request, the Marine Corps Reserve remains at 38,500. The Marine Corps Reserve maintains a ready, relevant, responsive force to fill combatant commander and service rotational and emergency requirements. Next slide. In civilian personnel, this request funds the additional workforce necessary to sustain readiness and support the increasing capability and capacity required to support the Navy and Marine Corps. To accomplish this, the department budgeted an additional 3,187 full-time equivalents to sustain readiness improvements, for example, in our ship depot maintenance efforts; in efforts at our warfare centers with focus on (ph) increasing our air, surface and undersea capabilities. The department maintains its progress towards major headquarters activities reduction and, in this request, reflects a decrease of 97 FTE from fiscal year '98 (ph). Next slide. Ship depot maintenance is funded as max executable, or 96 percent of the requirement (ph). This request increases slightly from fiscal year '18. LUTHER: The blue hatched area denotes $673 million provided by Congress for the repairs of the Fitzgerald and McCain, the bulk of which will be conducted in the shipbuilder yard. This request funds 57 maintenance availabilities across public and private shipyards: eight carrier availabilities, eight submarine availabilities and overalls, 40 surface availabilities, and one service craft overhaul. Ship operations is funded to 100 percent of the requirement, and as with last year's request, it funds 58 days underway per quarter when deployed, and 24 days underway when not deployed. The ship operations growth from '18 to '19 is comprised of higher fuel costs and the addition of nine new warships and two ships in our MSC (ph) charter fleet. Next slide. In aviation readiness, our aircraft depot maintenance is funded to max executable capacity, which, this year, increases to 92 percent of the requirement. This request increases slightly from fiscal year '18, and our increased capacity is largely due to investing in people, yet we remain limited by space and overtooling, in which we continue to invest. Flying hour program is funded to a maximum executable level of 95 percent of the requirement. This request decreases slightly from fiscal year '18 as a result of lower cost per hour and the Navy's divestiture of legacy Hornets. This request continues to build on our '18 request, and adds additional funds to critical aviation logistics and maintenance accounts, such as aviation logistics, aviation support and aviation spares, which are funded in APM. The aviation logistics account increased 11 percent, to a high of 98 percent of the requirement. The $173 million increase provides for maintenance costs associated with more F-35s, KC-130-Js and MB-22 aircraft entering the fleet. Additionally, this request continues to invest in aviation support accounts (ph) to improve aircraft availability, and also includes an increase to support air crew systems, physiological episode mitigation efforts. Program-related engineering and logistics is funded to 100 percent of the requirement. This account also funds critical train (ph) initiatives to improve depot throughput and increased hiring of planning, engineering and maintenance support main (ph) -- manpower to align the workforce to the projected workload. Our aviation spare funding increases from 91 percent to 95 percent of the requirement. Given that our aviation support and our naval accounts (ph) have all increased, it's important to note the true output metric is flying hours. Flying hours are flown daily, and are significantly impacted by C.R. levels on funding. On-time and active budgets are critical to our readiness recovery. Next slide, please. Navy and Marine Corps installations enable fleet operations, equipment reconstitution, material sustainment, total force training, unit recovery and quality-of-life programs. This request increases sustainment funding to 80 percent of the requirement for the Marine (ph) Corps, and the department is on track to increase those levels to 85 percent of the requirement by the end of the FYDP. The blue hatched area indicates the additional $262 million provided by Congress to address hurricane damages. $153 million was added in this request for demolition to remove excess infrastructure. The request includes a 12.7 percent capital investment in shipyard depot maintenance, exceeding the 6 percent legislative requirement, which demonstrates the department's commitment to capital investment at our shipyards, fleet readiness centers and Marine Corps depots. The department continues to take risks in funding installations, but mitigates this risk by focusing investments on critical components that directly support warfighting operations and ensure the health and safety of sailors and Marines. Next slide. Marine Corps ground equipment is funded to depot execution levels, which increased -- 82 percent of the requirement. LUTHER: Reset is 99 percent complete, with an estimated completion date of third quarter '99 (ph). Funding for operational force readiness declined slightly as a result of business reforms that allowed reinvestment in critical modernization efforts. This reduced request does not result in reduced readiness, and provides investments in the following programs: long-range precision fires; High-Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS; air defense; the Ground/Air Task Operated, or G/ATOR, Radar; Ground-Based Air Defense Future Weapon Systems; C2 in a degraded environment; Network On-The-Move tactical communication modernization, and projected enhanced maneuver Amphibious Combat Vehicles, ACBs, or Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, JLTVs. Next slide. The department appreciates the strong support -- Congress for naval shipbuilding. New construction totals have increased since last year's plan, with three additional ships added in this request: one DDG 51, one expeditionary sea base and one fleet oiler, for a total of 10 battle force ships in fiscal year '19. Throughout the FYDP, the department added a total of 11 ships in the battle force count. The department expects to be at 326 ships by fiscal year '23, and 355 by the 2050s. Specific key efforts for this request include continuing the Columbia-class program in its third year of advance procurement, and it remains on schedule (ph) for its first deployment. The USS Enterprise is in its second year of funding, and the delivery date remains September of 2027. Continued procurement of two of our Virginia-class submarines in the Block V multi-year contract -- all future Virginia-class will have the acoustic superiority upgrade, and the second ship of this year begins incorporation of the Virginia Payload Module; an increase of one Flight III destroyer in each year of '19, '21, '22, and '23, for a total of four additional DDG 51s in the FYDP. The remaining LCS completes the program and supports the transition to the FFGX in fiscal year '20. One ESB was added in '19 and one programmed in '20, for a total of ESBs -- two ESBs added in the FYDP; an increase of one oil (ph) in fiscal years '19, '21, and '23, for an increase of three in the FYDP; an increase of one T-ATS (ph) towing rescue salvage ship in '20 and one TAGO ship in fiscal year '23. Other ship construction includes request for two LCUs in '19 and five ship-to-shore connectors requested in '19, increasing to eight ships a year, '20 to '23, for a total of 12 additional ships in the FYDP. There's additional information available on the 30-year ship acquisition plan, which has been released today and can be found on our website. Next slide, please. The department appreciates continuous support by Congress for naval aviation. All major aviation acquisition program remain consistent or increase from '18 to '19. There's a net increase of 29 aircraft from the president (ph) budget '18 submission. In this request, there's an increase of five F-35Cs 10 F-18s, three P-8s, two C-40s, four 53Ks, one Navy MV-22, and three Zulu Cobras and six presidential helos. There is reduction of -- reduction of one E2D and four Sutas (ph). Specifically, the F-35 increased four to nine aircraft, as schedule (ph) in the second year of their Block V. The F-18s were increased by 10, for a total of 24, to support a follow-on multi-year procurement, beginning in '19, which will include the Block III upgrade. Additionally, there's an increase of 34 aircraft programs across the FYDP. The E2D was reduced five to four aircraft to support a follow-on multi-year profile, beginning in '19, with a total procurement of 24 aircraft. This will complete the program of record with 75 aircraft. The P-8s increased three aircraft in '19, bringing procurement from 7 to 10, and has an additional three aircraft programmed in (ph) '20. An increase of six would complete the program of record at 117 aircraft. LUTHER: The C4A increased two aircraft in '19. The CH-53K increased from four to eight aircraft, as low-rate initial production, or LRIP, begins and keeps the schedule on track from initial operating capability, or IOC, of fiscal year '20. The Zulu Cobras increased from 22 to 25. This completes the program of record at 342 aircraft. The VH-92A, or Presidential Helo, increased zero to six aircraft, as scheduled for its LRIP. This program is a new start in '19, will IOC in '20, and will complete in fiscal year '21. The CMV-22 increased six to seven aircraft to meet its IOC in fiscal year '21. And the RQ-21 (inaudible) end of procurement profile was reduced from four to zero systems. Next slide. All major weapons acquisition programs remain consistent or increase '18 to '19 and support the department's goal of increased capability and/or increased capacity. The tactical Tomahawk includes the A2AD upgrade with its recertification and the maritime-strike Tomahawk starts in fiscal year '20. The SM-6 quantity increased 25 in order to support a five-year multi year. Multiple programs to include the RAM Block 3, Mark 48 heavyweight torpedo, LCS over the rise (ph) missiles, the standoff precision guided munition or Griffin (ph), AIM-9X Sidewinder, Argon (ph) Block 1 JAGM and small-diameter bombs were increased to meet capacity requirements. The Mark 54 Lightweight Torpedo reduced quantity in order to fund lethality improvements in shallow-water capability and counter measure effectiveness. CL surface-to-surface mission module decreased to align with program capacity. The AIM-120 AMRAAM production is set at capacity due to a parts-ops license issue that we are working to correct. And the Hellfire and (inaudible) procurements were reduced to reflect reduced OCO requirement. Next slide. This request includes key investments in cyber, C4I, and electronic warfare. Cybersecurity and its ability to ensure the resiliency of our networks and operational technologies is a department priority. Programs providing increased capacity and capability in this domain include CANES, the consolidated float networks and enterprise services program, which provides the infrastructure and services required for the Navy to dominate the cyber-warfare domain. The Navy multiband terminal system will ensure survival of communications during all levels of conflict. Various communication enhancements to meet emerging communications threats, such as the assured command-and-control upgrade, which allows the fleet to operate contested and denied environments. This request also increases surface electronic warfare improvement program block 2 units by six to a total of 16, and CWHIT (ph) block 3 units by two for a total of four. In addition to the efforts already mentioned, the department is investing in other modernization programs. The DDG modernization program includes all improvements in integrated air and missile defense, the Navy Integrated Fire Control counter Air, NIFC-CA, and cooperative engagement capability. The Submarine Warfare Federated Tactical System provides hardware and software upgrades to submarines' sonar, fire control, imaging, electronic warfare systems for SSNs, SSGNs and SSBNs. The Naval shipyard monetization funding is increased 46 million to a total of 197 million in this request, to recapitalize industrial plant equipment, weight handling equipment and nuclear support equipment infrastructure. The improved maintenance capabilities provided by the service life extensions for 25-ton portal cranes, 175 ton heavy-lift cranes, 60 ton dock cranes, and improved shipyard systems such as flush systems and (inaudible) will contribute to decreasing availability costs, reduce schedules, and so return ship mission days to the fleets. Next slide, please. The Marine Corps continues to bounce ground equipment procurement and future development to support the current fight, while modernizing to dominate the future fight. The procurement Marine Corps request funds major programs including initial procurement of 30 ACVs, six G/ATOR systems, and 1,642 JLTVs. LUTHER: All major acquisition programs remain consistent or increase, with a few exceptions. ACVs increase procurement by four vehicles, plus the procurement of the related support items. The estimated approved acquisition objective of 204 vehicles will be achieved in fiscal year '21. G/ATOR procurement increased three to six systems as part of its first year of full-rate production. JLTV increased 1,115 vehicles with this request. This request also supports the reactivation of the 5th Battalion, 10th Marine Regiment as a HIMARS rocket battalion and supports procurement of HIMARS systems and support equipment for the new battalion and an (ph) associated increase of the total munitions requirement for rockets. For procurement of ammunition Navy-Marine Corps, it buys vital munitions and related weaponry for the warfighter and replenishes weapons expended in ongoing contingency operations.
