AT THE START OF EVERY NEW CONGRESS, THE G-A-O CALLS ATTENTION TO AGENCIES
AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE VULNERABLE.

AFFAIRS -- SPECIFICALLY THEIR HEALTH-CARE SYSTEM.
WHY HAS THIS BEEN ADDED TO THIS LIST?
-THE REPORT ALSO HIGHLIGHTS LIMITATIONS IN THE V-A'S EXISTING I-T SYSTEMS.
WHAT ARE THEY? AND WHAT IS THE AGENCY DOING TO FIX THEM?
-MANAGMENT OF FEDERAL I-T ACQUISTIONS HAS ALSO BEEN ADDED TO THE HIGH RISK
LIST -- DESPITE AN 80 BILLION DOLLAR INVESTMENT.
WHY?
-WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO IMPROVE THE GOVERNMENT'S TRACK RECORD FOR THE
DELIVERY OF NEW I-T SYSTEMS?
-WHAT OTHER MAJOR CHANGES ARE IN THE 20-15 HIGH RISK LIST REPORT? AND WERE
THERE ANY ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RESOLVED SINCE LAST YEAR?#

SCRIPT:
IN TONIGHT'S GOVERNMENT INSIDER, "FEDERAL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT."
MANAGERS ARE OFTEN CAUGHT UP IN THE DAY-TO-DAY GRIND, WORKING TOWARDS
THEIR AGENCY'S MISSION.
BUT SOMETIMES THEY FORGET DEVELOPMENT IS PART OF A SUCCESSFUL TEAM.
HOW CAN THEY IMPROVE, BUT STILL STAY ON TASK?
FOR INSIGHT WE TURN TO OUR GUEST TONIGHT ON CAPITAL INSIDER.
TOM FOX, WITH THE PARTNERSHIP FOR PUBLIC SERVICE.
HE'S OUR "FEDERAL COACH"... AND WRITES A COLUMN FOR THE WASHINGTON POST.
TOM -- MANY FEDERAL MANAGERS ARE BUSY HANDLING BUDGET CONCERNS,
PERSONNEL MATTERS, AND OTHER ISSUES ON A DAILY BASIS.

HOW HARD IS IT FOR THEM TO THINK ABOUT DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP SKILLS AS

WELL?
-IN A RECENT ARTICLE YOU OUTLINE TIPS FOR THESE MANAGERS SO THEY CAN WORK
TOWARD BETTER DEVELOPMENT.
ONE OF THEM WAS KEEPING YOURSELF DISCIPLINED.
EXPLAIN.
-ANOTHER TIP WAS FINDING A MENTOR -- WHICH CAN BE TRICKY.
HOW DO YOU SUGGEST FEDERAL MANAGERS SEEK OUT A MORE EXPERIENCED
EXECUTIVE?
-SO TOM TIE IT ALL TOGETHER FOR US.
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP TO TAKE WHEN DEVELOPING
LEADERSHIP SKILLS? AND WHAT SHOULD MANAGERS DO IF THEY FEEL THEY'RE
STUCK IN A RUT?#

JOE DAVIDSON, FEDERAL DIARY COLUMNIST WITH THE WASHINGTON POST.
[TAKE: DOUBLE BOX]{***DOUBLE BOX***}
JOE, TEMPORARY FUNDING FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY EXPIRES
FRIDAY. WHAT IS AT STAKE IF CONGRESS AND PRESIDENT OBAMA DON'T AGREE ON AN
APPROPRIATIONS BILL BY THEN?
-THE UNCERTAINTY OF GETTING PAID CAN PUT FEDERAL FAMILIES IN FINANCIAL
DANGER. HOW HAS THE PROSPECT OF A D-H-S SHUTDOWN EFFECTED THE MORALE
OF THE WORKFORCE?
-EVEN IF EMPLOYEES CONTINUE TO WORK, SEVERAL CRUCIAL INITIATIVES WILL GO UNFUNDED, LIKE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING AND ANTI-TERRORISM EFFORTS.
HOW CAN THE AGENCY RUN WITHOUT THESE PROGRAMS? HOW WOULD THIS IMPACT
NATIONAL SECURITY?
-JOE, TIE IT ALL TOGETHER FOR US. IT SEEMS LIKE A SIMPLE SOLUTION WOULD BE TO
VOTE ON THE D-H-S BUDGET AND THE IMMIGRATION ISSUES SEPARATELY. CAN YOU
EXPLAIN WHY THIS IDEA IS OFF THE TABLE?
-AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, EMPLOYEE UNIONS EXPRESSED HESITATION
TOWARD A REPUBLICAN LED CONGRESS. DO THESE ORGANIZATIONS SEE THIS AS A
SIGN OF WHAT'S YET TO COME?#

HOW MANY BUSINESSES COULD BE EFFECTED?
-THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME AGENCIES HAVE SHUT DOWN OVER FUNDING.
ARE CONTRACTORS BECOMING MORE LEARY OF FEDERAL WORK BECAUSE OF THESE
FREQUENT LAPSES IN AGENCY BUDGETS?
-LETS SWITCH GEARS TO NEW INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY.
DARPA HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED A "COMMUNICATING WITH COMPUTERS" PROGRAM.
WHAT IS IT? AND WHAT DO THEY HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH?
-HUMANS AND MACHINES HAVE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT ABILITIES.
HOW DOES DARPA PLAN TO BRIDGE THE COMMUNICATION BARRIER BETWEEN THEM?
-BEFORE YOU GO, LETS TALK ABOUT LOCKHEED MARTIN'S ADVANCED DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMS GROUP, BETTER KNOWN AS SKUNK WORKS.
JILL, CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO US WHAT THIS PROGRAM IS?
-RECENTLY YOU REPORTED THAT SKUNK WORKS IS GOING THROUGH A CULTURAL

BRIAN -- HOW LONG DOES IT NORMALLY TAKE FOR FINAL DOCUMENTS TO BE RELEASED?
IS THERE ANY TRUTH TO THESE CLAIMS OF A CONSPIRACY THEORY?
-THE BATTLE FOR NET NEUTRALITY HAS BEEN WAGING FOR MONTHS WITH MANY
REPUBLICANS AND INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS AGAINST THE IDEA.
ARE THESE CLAIMS OF A CONSPIRACY THEORY ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO DEBATE THE
ISSUE?
-NOW THAT THIS VOTE HAS HAPPENED AND NEW RULES HAVE BEEN PROPOSED, HOW

CHANGES IN THE WAY THEY PAY FOR INTERNET?
-LET'S SWITCH GEARS TO GOOGLE.
THEY'VE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO OFFER WIRELESS SERVICE.
WHY?
-COMPETITION BETWEEN CELLULAR SERVICE PROVIDERS IS NOTHING NEW.

-A RECENT G-A-O STUDY DISCOVERED MULTIPLE WEAKNESSESS IN THE F-A-A'S

AND IT'S THE F-A-A'S JOB TO KEEP THEM SAFE.

JESSICA TAYLOR, CAMPAIGN EDITOR FOR ''THE HILL''.

[TAKE: DOUBLE BOX]{***DOUBLE BOX***}
WE'RE OFF TO THE RACES -- WITH TED CRUZ BECOMING THE FIRST TO ANNOUNCE A
PRESIDENTIAL BID.
JESSICA-- HE'S BEEN TRAILING IN THE POLLS. WHAT KIND OF ADVANTAGE DOES HE
GET BY ANNOUNCING FIRST?
-CRUZ MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT TO A PACKED HOUSE AT LIBERTY UNIVERSITY -- BUT
THERE'S A CATCH. NUMEROUS REPORTS INDICATE STUDENTS WERE REQUIRED TO
ATTEND THIS SPEECH AS PART OF A WEEKLY ''CONVOCATION'' CEREMONY.
WHY WOULD HE CHOOSE THIS VENUE... AND HOW HARD WOULD IT HAVE BEEN FOR
CRUZ TO GATHER AN AUDIENCE... ON HIS OWN MERIT?
-THE TEXAS SENATOR HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN A FAVORITE AMONG HIS COLLEAGUES ON
CAPITOL HILL. WILL HE STAND A CHANCE AGAINST OTHER, MORE POPULAR
PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS? AND... THAT BEING SAID ... CAN THE REST OF THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY IGNORE THE ''FOLLOWING''... HE'S CREATED?
-LET'S GET DOWN TO THE SUBSTANCE OF HIS SPEECH.
CRUZ MADE SOME PRETTY BOLD CLAIMS -- INCLUDING THE ABOLISHMENT OF THE
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE.
IS IT A GOOD STRATEGY TO COME OUT SO FAR RIGHT? HE COULD EVENTUALLY FACE A
GENERAL ELECTION -- WHERE HE MAY NEED TO BE MORE MODERATE.
-WHILE THE G-O-P PLAYING FIELD IS PACKED -- HILLARY CLINTON STILL STANDS AS
THE FRONT RUNNER FOR DEMOCRATS.
WHO'S THE BIGGEST COMPETITION? AND IS THE E-MAIL SCANDAL HURTING?
-QUICKLY BEFORE YOU GO, WHO CAN WE EXPECT TO ANNOUNCE NEXT?#

USES THESE ELEMENTS, BUT SOME SAY IT ISN'T NECESSARY. WHAT ARE THE
ALTERNATIVES?
-LETS SWITCH GEARS TO THE UNITED LAUNCH ALLIANCE.

U-L-A RECENTLY UNVEILLED A NEW REUSABLE ROCKET. WILL THIS GIVE THEM AN

THIS SECURE HIM THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION?
-WHILE RAND PAUL ISN'T EXPECTED TO ANNOUNCE HIS CANIDACY UNTIL EARLY APRIL,
HE IS ALREADY SPEAKING OUT AGAINST CRUZ. IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MEGYN KELLY
FROM FOX NEWS, CRUZ STATED,
"THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CONSERVATIVES. TED CRUZ IS A CONSERVATIVE, BUT IT
ALSO GOES TO WINNABILITY. AND PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO MAKE THE DECISION: WHICH
IS THE REPUBLICAN THAT CAN NOT ONLY EXCITE THE BASE, BUT CAN ALSO BRING
NEW PEOPLE INTO THE PARTY WITHOUT GIVING UP PRINCIPLES?"
WHY IS PAUL ADDING FUEL TO THE FIRE?
-REPORTS SUGGEST THAT CRUZ IS A LONG SHOT FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.
DO HIS HIGHLY CONSERVATIVE VIEWS STAND A CHANCE IN THE GENERAL ELECTION?
-LETS SWITCH GEARS. ELEVEN POTENTIAL REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIATES
ATTENDED THE A-E-I CONFERENCE ON MARCH 5TH.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS WORLD FORUM EVENT AND WHY IS IT SO EXCLUSIVE?

HAVEN'T GONE. NOT JUST THROWING OUT RED MEAT, BUT ACTUALLY THROWING OUT

HOW ARE AGENCIES LIKE THE DEFENSE DEPARTMENT WORKING TOWARD USING
TECHNOLOGY .... TO HANDLE ALL OF THIS INFORMATION?
-ONCE THEY'RE ABLE TO CRACK THE CODE -- AND DEVELOP A PROGRAM THAT CAN
PREDICT WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT -- HOW WILL THAT CHANGE THE DEFENSE AND
INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY?
-ONE PROGRAM -- LAUNCHED IN 20-11 -- ''FUNDED'' PROJECTS TO PREDICT NATIONAL
SECURITY EVENTS... BUT IT FAILED TO ENVISION THE ''EBOLA OUTBREAK''.
WHAT WENT WRONG?
-THESE PROGRAMS RELY HEAVILY ON ''OPEN DATA'' -- BUT IN A RECENT ARTICLE YOU
ADDRESS PRIVACY CONCERNS AS WELL:
"WHEN MOST PEOPLE GIVE THEIR DATA AWAY, THEY DON'T IMAGINE MILITARY
''TECHNOLOGISTS'' TRYING TO .... ''EXTRAPOLATE'' PREDICTIONS. AS MORE PEOPLE
BECOME CONCERNED ABOUT HOW THEIR DATA IS USED-- ESPECIALLY BY
GOVERNMENT ACTORS-- THEY'RE ''CHANGING'' THE DATA THAT THEY MAKE AND
RELEASE."#

SO PATRICK-- WHAT HAPPENS THEN? HOW IS THE INTEL COMMUNITY HANDLING THIS
POSSIBILITY?
-LETS DISCUSS THE MILITARY'S USE OF SENSORS.
THEY'VE BEEN USED FOR DECADES TO COLLECT DATA IN PLACES WHERE HUMAN'S
CAN'T GO.
''DARPA'' RECENTLY ANNOUNCED A NEW PROGRAM CALLED "NEAR ZERO POWER 'R-F'
AND SENSOR OPERATIONS."
