Kiel and Sullivan are recommending that the DAS for Security should be reporting directly to the SECSTATE level, rather than thru the Under Secretary for Management. Raising the level of security helps raise the importance of security.

Kiel is the best guy on the panel. I have worked with Greg Starr who is also a good guy. But Kiel is the truth teller.

kabar,thanks for the background.

I don;t have the context for why these folks are here this morning and their roles.

I don’t know who is worthwhile and who is not.

I am hoping that today’s hearing is foundational to something bigger.

So far, it has not been evident.

Please continue your comments—they are helpful.
