aware of what the total cost of United States assist-
ance to Japan would be in the aftermath of the 
earthquake, tsunami, and Fukushima Daiichi inci-
dent,

(3) Secretary Gates testified that the Depart-
ment of Defense would not need to ask for more 
money to cover these costs within the Overseas Con-
