I remain committed to providing support to our allies in the Asia-Pacific region.

I'm particularly interested in the potential effects on the manufacturing of Virginia-class submarines.

The industry also employs many of our science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) graduates who are in search of high-tech opportunities to challenge them.

R&D is very important in order to help advance our technologies and develop systems to assist in executing our defense strategy.

We are not going to take away the kinds of benefits and programs that they rely upon.

So would you agree that what we need to do is replace sequestration with a more rational approach to what you need to do?
