1 00:00:00,768 --> 00:00:03,464 Ian Saunders, Director, International Training & Assistance, CBP 2 00:00:03,464 --> 00:00:05,895 Before 9/11, a lot of countries weren't focused. 3 00:00:05,895 --> 00:00:07,598 Now that we have a new body of threats, 4 00:00:07,598 --> 00:00:09,323 how exactly do we deal with these threats? 5 00:00:09,323 --> 00:00:10,746 Robert Verrue, Director General, European Commission 6 00:00:10,746 --> 00:00:12,887 We have to find a proper balance between 7 00:00:12,887 --> 00:00:17,674 facilitation of trade and the fight again terrorism. 8 00:00:17,674 --> 00:00:19,522 Matt Vega, Senior Counsel, Federal Express 9 00:00:19,522 --> 00:00:21,096 We are one big global economy 10 00:00:21,096 --> 00:00:25,384 and so what happens in one part of the supply chain will affect another. 11 00:00:25,384 --> 00:00:27,124 Brenda Smith, Director, Policy & Programs, INATR, CBP 12 00:00:27,124 --> 00:00:28,537 In this post 9/11 world, we really have a responsibility 13 00:00:28,537 --> 00:00:33,095 to make sure that our supply lanes are secure for trade. 14 00:00:33,095 --> 00:00:34,886 Jose Garcia, Ministry of Finance to US, Mexico 15 00:00:34,886 --> 00:00:40,531 We see security and facilitation as two faces of the same coin. 16 00:00:40,531 --> 00:00:43,558 Don't forget, we at Customs, we are the gatekeepers. 17 00:00:43,558 --> 00:00:44,947 Renee Harris, CBP Attache, Mexico City 18 00:00:44,947 --> 00:00:49,898 We are unique. CBP is unique because we are the interdictors. 19 00:00:49,898 --> 00:00:52,389 We are like no other agency. 20 00:00:52,389 --> 00:00:53,811 Lesley Ann Basset, Deputy Chief of Mission, US Embassy, Mexico 21 00:00:53,811 --> 00:00:55,171 CBP is an essential player because they are 22 00:00:55,171 --> 00:00:58,193 sort of where the rubber meets the road. 23 00:00:58,193 --> 00:01:07,193 24 00:01:07,193 --> 00:01:17,516 25 00:01:17,516 --> 00:01:19,680 NARRATOR: American business and industry rely on 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,027 a steady flow of products and materials from all over the world. 27 00:01:24,027 --> 00:01:26,857 But the millions of cargo containers streaming into our ports 28 00:01:26,857 --> 00:01:29,457 and across our borders each year 29 00:01:29,457 --> 00:01:31,890 also pose a grave potential threat, 30 00:01:31,890 --> 00:01:34,000 because en route to the United States, 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,026 many of them pass through several ports and cross several borders 32 00:01:38,026 --> 00:01:40,281 that lack adequate security, 33 00:01:40,281 --> 00:01:44,108 giving terrorists ample opportunities to slip their own cargo, 34 00:01:44,108 --> 00:01:49,109 including weapons of mass destruction, into the flow of legitimate trade. 35 00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,872 NARRATOR: It is not enough for the United States 36 00:01:50,872 --> 00:01:53,620 to secure its own borders and facilities; 37 00:01:53,620 --> 00:01:56,195 it has to be a global priority. 38 00:01:56,195 --> 00:02:00,506 This requires forming partnerships with Customs administrations in other nations 39 00:02:00,506 --> 00:02:05,332 and with manufacturers, vendors and importers worldwide. 40 00:02:05,332 --> 00:02:11,464 And that task belongs to CBP's Office of International Affairs or INA. 41 00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:13,193 Brenda Brockman Smith, Former Director, Policy & Programs Division 42 00:02:13,193 --> 00:02:14,659 As an operational agency, 43 00:02:14,659 --> 00:02:16,531 CBP is really where the rubber meets the road. 44 00:02:16,531 --> 00:02:18,353 It's important to identify strategic goals, 45 00:02:18,353 --> 00:02:20,033 but when you come right down to it, 46 00:02:20,033 --> 00:02:23,201 it's how we manage our border on a day-to-day basis. 47 00:02:23,201 --> 00:02:25,895 NARRATOR: Achieving this mission requires coordinated effort 48 00:02:25,895 --> 00:02:31,721 among operational divisions, beginning with the Policy & Programs Division. 49 00:02:31,721 --> 00:02:33,144 Brenda Brockman Smith, Former Director, Policy & Programs Division 50 00:02:33,144 --> 00:02:35,151 My Division is responsible for the international cooperation 51 00:02:35,151 --> 00:02:40,153 between the United States Customs and Border Protection and their counterparts, 52 00:02:40,153 --> 00:02:43,519 both on the Customs side and the Immigration side. 53 00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:46,185 We set the strategy and then we work very closely 54 00:02:46,185 --> 00:02:48,460 with our foreign attaches and representatives 55 00:02:48,460 --> 00:02:50,758 and our Training and Assistance Division 56 00:02:50,758 --> 00:02:55,366 to essentially identify where opportunities exist for partnership. 57 00:02:55,366 --> 00:02:58,752 We have a number of multilateral organizations that we deal with, 58 00:02:58,752 --> 00:03:02,148 like the World Customs Organization, the APEC, 59 00:03:02,148 --> 00:03:06,384 the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation set of countries and economies. 60 00:03:06,384 --> 00:03:09,960 We work on a bilateral basis with countries in the European Union, 61 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,491 countries in Asia and Africa and Latin America, 62 00:03:13,491 --> 00:03:17,440 in order to identify again, common objectives. 63 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,469 NARRATOR: The challenge is to find common ground between 64 00:03:19,469 --> 00:03:24,329 U.S. security objectives and the economic objectives of other countries. 65 00:03:24,329 --> 00:03:26,138 BRENDA SMITH: What we're looking to do, 66 00:03:26,138 --> 00:03:30,691 really, is to identify the best approach to security and facilitation. 67 00:03:30,691 --> 00:03:35,480 Many times, the lifeblood of a country depends on its trade or on its tourism. 68 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:42,208 If we don't get trade and tourism right, the country, as a whole fails, 69 00:03:42,208 --> 00:03:44,754 or they don't achieve their economic objectives. 70 00:03:44,754 --> 00:03:47,359 So, the approach that we take is to 71 00:03:47,359 --> 00:03:50,252 identify a mutually acceptable set of objectives 72 00:03:50,252 --> 00:03:53,011 and figure out how, from both our perspectives, 73 00:03:53,011 --> 00:03:55,852 we can get what we need to do. 74 00:03:55,852 --> 00:03:59,774 GARCIA: Our collaboration with CBP is stronger and stronger every day. 75 00:03:59,774 --> 00:04:01,627 We're neighbors. 76 00:04:01,627 --> 00:04:04,146 We are the second largest trading partner of the United States. 77 00:04:04,146 --> 00:04:10,764 Our bilateral trade goes to 300 to 330 billion dollars a year. 78 00:04:10,764 --> 00:04:15,087 We're second only to Canada and so we have to make sure that 79 00:04:15,087 --> 00:04:21,403 all this movement of goods between our two counties moves in a secure manner. 80 00:04:21,403 --> 00:04:25,046 NARRATOR: Global security requires global effort, and INA 81 00:04:25,046 --> 00:04:28,700 has worked hard to establish worldwide customs standards, 82 00:04:28,700 --> 00:04:34,616 such as the Framework of Standards to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade. 83 00:04:34,616 --> 00:04:36,810 BRENDA SMITH: The Framework of Standards is an initiative 84 00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:39,616 that we took on through the World Customs Organization 85 00:04:39,616 --> 00:04:45,064 to share best practices and identify opportunities for partnership, 86 00:04:45,064 --> 00:04:50,527 customs to customs and customs to the trade, to improve supply chain security. 87 00:04:50,527 --> 00:04:55,280 That initiative took about three years to develop and then propose officially, 88 00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:58,892 and then in June of 2005, when it was formally proposed, 89 00:04:58,892 --> 00:05:04,231 we had 125 of the 169 countries sign on. 90 00:05:04,231 --> 00:05:06,361 Michel Danet, Former Secretary General, WCO, Brussels 91 00:05:06,361 --> 00:05:09,882 Because for many people, they felt that security was going to kill facilitation 92 00:05:09,882 --> 00:05:16,187 and that facilitation could not go on with these new security measures. 93 00:05:16,187 --> 00:05:19,713 And the safe Framework of Standards is exactly that synthesis. 94 00:05:19,713 --> 00:05:24,047 In fact, our idea that we want to build a chain where there is no weak link, 95 00:05:24,047 --> 00:05:26,980 where in fact everybody will be able to trade 96 00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:33,666 and everybody will be able to apply standards and common rules. 97 00:05:33,666 --> 00:05:35,618 98 00:05:35,618 --> 00:05:37,568 BRENDA SMITH: But now comes the hard part, 99 00:05:37,568 --> 00:05:41,106 and that is working with those individual countries to implement. 100 00:05:41,106 --> 00:05:44,392 NARRATOR: Many countries need expert assistance to bring their customs 101 00:05:44,392 --> 00:05:48,875 and border management policies and practices up to the standard. 102 00:05:48,875 --> 00:05:53,396 That expertise comes from INA's Training and Assistance Division. 103 00:05:53,396 --> 00:05:55,241 IAN SAUNDERS: We're responsible for coordinating all of 104 00:05:55,241 --> 00:06:00,056 CBP's short-term and long-term technical assistance programs all over the world, 105 00:06:00,056 --> 00:06:04,793 essentially sharing our best practices and expertise with foreign counterparts. 106 00:06:04,793 --> 00:06:08,669 NARRATOR: INA provides assistance only when invited to do so. 107 00:06:08,669 --> 00:06:11,715 And the first step is for the Training and Assistance Division 108 00:06:11,715 --> 00:06:16,912 to perform an assessment of the country's customs and security operations. 109 00:06:16,912 --> 00:06:18,520 IAN SAUNDERS: Assessment is really the most 110 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,484 one of the most important first pieces of any program that we do. 111 00:06:21,484 --> 00:06:23,660 It generally combines two elements. 112 00:06:23,660 --> 00:06:25,809 One is information from the country. 113 00:06:25,809 --> 00:06:28,192 Then what sort of evaluations have they done themselves? 114 00:06:28,192 --> 00:06:30,015 What sort of visioning have they done about 115 00:06:30,015 --> 00:06:32,856 where they might want to be, what their end goals might be? 116 00:06:32,856 --> 00:06:35,358 But that documentary information is always supplemented 117 00:06:35,358 --> 00:06:40,204 by us taking a visit to the country to actually observe their operations, 118 00:06:40,204 --> 00:06:42,516 to get briefings from their senior managers, 119 00:06:42,516 --> 00:06:44,578 to find out what's happening day to day. 120 00:06:44,578 --> 00:06:46,999 NARRATOR: Based on the assessment, the Training and Assistance Division 121 00:06:46,999 --> 00:06:51,002 develops a program tailored to the country's requirements. 122 00:06:51,002 --> 00:06:53,965 Programs range from hosting a visit by the country's customs 123 00:06:53,965 --> 00:06:56,537 or other border management officials, 124 00:06:56,537 --> 00:06:59,875 so they can observe and learn CBP best practices, 125 00:06:59,875 --> 00:07:02,828 to stationing CBP personnel overseas, 126 00:07:02,828 --> 00:07:07,161 to provide training and advice and to help build necessary infrastructure. 127 00:07:07,161 --> 00:07:09,075 IAN SAUNDERS: We've had a very active program 128 00:07:09,075 --> 00:07:11,597 for several years with the Republic of Georgia. 129 00:07:11,597 --> 00:07:14,339 One of the major deliverables that we've had under that program 130 00:07:14,339 --> 00:07:16,511 is the construction of a port of entry 131 00:07:16,511 --> 00:07:19,288 at a place called Red Bridge on the Georgian border. 132 00:07:19,288 --> 00:07:21,265 When we started the project with Red Bridge, 133 00:07:21,265 --> 00:07:24,333 there was essentially a very, very informal border crossing, 134 00:07:24,333 --> 00:07:26,321 very high traffic, one road, 135 00:07:26,321 --> 00:07:28,761 but very difficult to manage the flow 136 00:07:28,761 --> 00:07:31,725 and know who was going in which direction for what reason. 137 00:07:31,725 --> 00:07:33,949 We actually built a facility along the lines of 138 00:07:33,949 --> 00:07:36,698 facilities that we have in the United States. 139 00:07:36,698 --> 00:07:41,532 NARRATOR: Some countries are of special strategic importance to U.S. security, 140 00:07:41,532 --> 00:07:46,576 and here INA's Foreign Operations Division plays a key role. 141 00:07:46,576 --> 00:07:48,647 CHARLES STALLWORTH: What we're a model for 142 00:07:48,647 --> 00:07:53,771 is the change in post 9/11 procedures as far as border security, 143 00:07:53,771 --> 00:07:57,845 for trade relations and for customs and immigration procedures. 144 00:07:57,845 --> 00:08:00,250 Those things have changed quite a bit 145 00:08:00,250 --> 00:08:04,165 and so taking those lessons that we have learned 146 00:08:04,165 --> 00:08:09,105 and offering them to our allies and to our partnering nations 147 00:08:09,105 --> 00:08:12,870 and to those manufacturers who want their goods to come to the US, 148 00:08:12,870 --> 00:08:18,631 so that we can continue to support what we call our extended border strategy. 149 00:08:18,631 --> 00:08:20,207 NARRATOR: The backbone of the division 150 00:08:20,207 --> 00:08:23,726 is its network of Attache and CBP Representatives 151 00:08:23,726 --> 00:08:27,647 attached to U.S. embassies in countries around the world. 152 00:08:27,647 --> 00:08:29,007 RENEE HARRIS ,CBP Attache, Mexico City 153 00:08:29,007 --> 00:08:31,497 We are able to take our operational experience, 154 00:08:31,497 --> 00:08:34,040 put it in a diplomatic setting 155 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:39,216 and really promote CBP's programs and initiatives to the world. 156 00:08:39,216 --> 00:08:43,334 So organized crime, immigration, trade, security, 157 00:08:43,334 --> 00:08:46,304 those are the issues that we deal with. 158 00:08:46,304 --> 00:08:49,269 Those are the issues that are important. 159 00:08:49,269 --> 00:08:53,004 Narrator: Innovative programs like CBP's Container Security Initiative, 160 00:08:53,004 --> 00:08:55,989 the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism, 161 00:08:55,989 --> 00:08:58,255 the Immigration Advisory Program 162 00:08:58,255 --> 00:09:00,806 and the Proliferation Security Initiative 163 00:09:00,806 --> 00:09:05,047 help coordinate security and trade efforts between the two countries. 164 00:09:05,047 --> 00:09:06,457 LESLEY ANN BASSET, Deputy Chief of Mission, US Embassy, Mexico City 165 00:09:06,457 --> 00:09:08,403 A lot of the things that we count on every day for our fast-food, 166 00:09:08,403 --> 00:09:10,053 for our commodities, for Wal-Mart, for anything else, 167 00:09:10,053 --> 00:09:12,955 comes across through Mexico and they make sure that gets there in time 168 00:09:12,955 --> 00:09:15,224 and that's a very important part of our economy. 169 00:09:15,224 --> 00:09:17,248 So we need free trade and we need safe trade 170 00:09:17,248 --> 00:09:20,411 and what CBP does for us is make sure that both those things are possible. 171 00:09:20,411 --> 00:09:21,666 JIM DICKMEYER, Public Affairs Officer, US Embassy, Mexico City 172 00:09:21,666 --> 00:09:24,155 We talk about that filter, the filter that allows legitimate movement 173 00:09:24,155 --> 00:09:27,409 of people and goods and screens out the bad guys. 174 00:09:27,409 --> 00:09:29,292 That's a huge undertaking. 175 00:09:29,292 --> 00:09:30,561 JUAN JOSE BRAVO, Administrator of Customs, Mexico City 176 00:09:30,561 --> 00:09:32,402 CBP has helped us in several ways. 177 00:09:32,402 --> 00:09:34,595 On one hand, on capacity building, on the people, 178 00:09:34,595 --> 00:09:41,262 on training, on using best practices on sharing information. 179 00:09:41,262 --> 00:09:46,213 They have donated some equipment for gamma rays and x-rays 180 00:09:46,213 --> 00:09:55,153 and some other equipment to help us in checking on security, on control on trade. 181 00:09:55,153 --> 00:09:58,025 So the relationship has been very strong. 182 00:09:58,025 --> 00:10:01,328 I think we have advanced a lot in terms of security, 183 00:10:01,328 --> 00:10:07,244 in terms of control of contraband, of fraud and money laundering. 184 00:10:07,244 --> 00:10:11,767 And some other issues that are important for every country to control. 185 00:10:11,767 --> 00:10:12,941 JOSE SANTIAGO VASCONSELOS Mexico Deputy Attorney General 186 00:10:12,941 --> 00:10:14,992 for International Relations (In Spanish with English translation) 187 00:10:14,992 --> 00:10:17,790 Our largest benefit has been our increased availability of knowledge and resources, 188 00:10:17,790 --> 00:10:20,610 the ability to coordinate our operations more effectively 189 00:10:20,610 --> 00:10:22,590 along both sides of the border. 190 00:10:22,590 --> 00:10:23,999 SCOTT Danaher, Director Of Narcotics Affairs, US Embassy, Mexico City 191 00:10:23,999 --> 00:10:27,252 CBP has given us the technological expertise that they bring to the game. 192 00:10:27,252 --> 00:10:29,230 They have the experience. 193 00:10:29,230 --> 00:10:34,324 What we try to do is to marry our investment with technology 194 00:10:34,324 --> 00:10:36,794 that CBP has used and tested 195 00:10:36,794 --> 00:10:38,913 because then they can help us with the training 196 00:10:38,913 --> 00:10:43,031 and the tactical schemes on how to apply those equipment correctly. 197 00:10:43,031 --> 00:10:46,768 NARRATOR: To many of our country's most important trading and security partners, 198 00:10:46,768 --> 00:10:51,367 INA's Foreign Operations attaches are the face of CBP. 199 00:10:51,367 --> 00:10:54,561 And they have earned the respect of many foreign governments, 200 00:10:54,561 --> 00:10:58,519 especially for their work related to immigration and enforcement. 201 00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:02,265 RENEE HARRIS: I think the effectiveness of this office is due to several things. 202 00:11:02,265 --> 00:11:07,317 One is our ability to negotiate and develop bi-national security programs 203 00:11:07,317 --> 00:11:10,941 such as the OASIS program or the Border Violence Program. 204 00:11:10,941 --> 00:11:16,126 We also serve as a conduit of information and collaboration. 205 00:11:16,126 --> 00:11:19,338 This information is sometimes instantaneous, 206 00:11:19,338 --> 00:11:25,448 which it helps to mitigate security threats, risks to both of our governments. 207 00:11:25,448 --> 00:11:30,192 We've established a rapport, relationships with the government of Mexico, 208 00:11:30,192 --> 00:11:34,555 I think unparalleled in past history. 209 00:11:34,555 --> 00:11:38,414 NARRATOR: Much of INA's work involves government-to-government partnerships. 210 00:11:38,414 --> 00:11:43,137 But in fact, manufacturers, shippers, vendors, and importers 211 00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:48,439 all play a far larger role in international trade than governments do, 212 00:11:48,439 --> 00:11:51,196 and enlisting the business community's cooperation 213 00:11:51,196 --> 00:11:54,622 is essential to securing any supply chain. 214 00:11:54,622 --> 00:11:57,570 VERRUE: We want to be a hundred percent sure that 215 00:11:57,570 --> 00:12:01,106 what we're doing is compatible with business facilitation. 216 00:12:01,106 --> 00:12:04,709 We must have by our side the business community. 217 00:12:04,709 --> 00:12:07,539 Otherwise, there is a risk of constructing solutions, 218 00:12:07,539 --> 00:12:10,299 which might be very effective from a municipal perspective, 219 00:12:10,299 --> 00:12:14,826 but almost impossible to implement from a business perspective. 220 00:12:14,826 --> 00:12:18,828 NARRATOR: All INA divisions work in various ways with the private sector. 221 00:12:18,828 --> 00:12:23,840 Engaging the private sector is a prime objective. 222 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,325 MATT VEGA, Senior Counsel, Federal Express Corporation 223 00:12:25,325 --> 00:12:27,979 We believe in the globalization of the CBP initiatives. 224 00:12:27,979 --> 00:12:32,333 So one of the things that we want to help CBP accomplish 225 00:12:32,333 --> 00:12:36,162 is not only a worldwide standard for security and trade facilitation, 226 00:12:36,162 --> 00:12:41,397 but also a worldwide standard of ethics and integrity to the process 227 00:12:41,397 --> 00:12:44,774 and transparency to the process that will ensure its success. 228 00:12:44,774 --> 00:12:47,504 FedEx operates in 218 countries, 229 00:12:47,504 --> 00:12:49,947 either directly or indirectly through a GSP, 230 00:12:49,947 --> 00:12:52,269 which we refer to as Global Service Provider. 231 00:12:52,269 --> 00:12:57,424 So you're talking about very high-value goods being moved by air express. 232 00:12:57,424 --> 00:13:01,543 And for us, the primary benefit of the Safe Framework 233 00:13:01,543 --> 00:13:07,086 and other international standards for trade facilitation and security 234 00:13:07,086 --> 00:13:10,841 is not only efficiency that will come by harmonization, 235 00:13:10,841 --> 00:13:14,947 but also the practical trade barriers 236 00:13:14,947 --> 00:13:20,267 that will be lowered as customs reform and modernization is carried out. 237 00:13:20,267 --> 00:13:23,897 RENEE HARRIS: It's critical to open up overseas offices with the CBP mission 238 00:13:23,897 --> 00:13:29,466 of interdiction, border security because we need to assist our global partners 239 00:13:29,466 --> 00:13:35,040 in protecting their homelands and in turn that protects our homeland. 240 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,893 We need to maintain free commerce. 241 00:13:37,893 --> 00:13:42,801 We need to maintain the ability for passengers to fly around the world 242 00:13:42,801 --> 00:13:45,736 with a high degree of safety, security. 243 00:13:45,736 --> 00:13:48,453 We need to work together with our global partners 244 00:13:48,453 --> 00:13:54,225 to minimize the risk of international travel and increase international commerce. 245 00:13:54,225 --> 00:13:58,116 NARRATOR: The only guarantee of homeland security lies in global security, 246 00:13:58,116 --> 00:14:01,942 and building that security requires global partnerships. 247 00:14:01,942 --> 00:14:05,463 BRENDA SMITH: We cannot increase security and increase facilitation by ourselves. 248 00:14:05,463 --> 00:14:08,490 We have to have partnerships with the trade 249 00:14:08,490 --> 00:14:12,225 to ensure that we're not shutting down travel or trade flows. 250 00:14:12,225 --> 00:14:15,641 We have to have partnerships with our international colleagues. 251 00:14:15,641 --> 00:14:17,617 IAN SAUNDERS: The message is one of partnership 252 00:14:17,617 --> 00:14:21,179 and that the U.S. recognizes that the supply chain, the travel chain 253 00:14:21,179 --> 00:14:27,137 has a number of locations and a number of entities that link into those networks. 254 00:14:27,137 --> 00:14:29,267 And we all need to work together. 255 00:14:29,267 --> 00:14:31,831 We all need to have the same motivation, to eliminate threats from that system. 256 00:14:31,831 --> 00:14:34,362 NARRATOR: CBP's expertise and international stature 257 00:14:34,362 --> 00:14:38,829 make it our nation's most effective agent for promoting those partnerships. 258 00:14:38,829 --> 00:14:42,771 No other organization, public or private, has its capabilities, 259 00:14:42,771 --> 00:14:47,022 experience, or technical know-how or its record of achievement. 260 00:14:47,022 --> 00:14:49,369 But more remains to be done. 261 00:14:49,369 --> 00:14:51,533 IAN SAUNDERS: I think there's more for us to do, certainly. 262 00:14:51,533 --> 00:14:54,066 We've been fortunate enough in more recent years 263 00:14:54,066 --> 00:14:58,343 to see more opportunities to do long-term engagements with countries, 264 00:14:58,343 --> 00:15:01,197 so that we're imparting skills, we're building relationships 265 00:15:01,197 --> 00:15:04,409 so that we're getting more candid information from people. 266 00:15:04,409 --> 00:15:06,559 We're getting to the root of problems, 267 00:15:06,559 --> 00:15:08,687 not necessarily just their visible symptoms. 268 00:15:08,687 --> 00:15:11,238 But a lot of that comes over time, with relationships 269 00:15:11,238 --> 00:15:16,296 and with the ability to continually engage, which takes funding. 270 00:15:16,296 --> 00:15:19,107 NARRATOR: Global partnerships. Global security. 271 00:15:19,107 --> 00:15:23,757 Essential investments for America's future. 272 00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:27,756 273 00:15:27,756 --> 00:15:28,237 274 00:15:28,237 --> 00:15:34,236 275 00:15:34,236 --> 00:15:34,639 276 00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:34,969 277 00:15:34,969 --> 00:15:34,969
