And last October, Representative Russell and I wrote a letter to the administration to the PAC board saying you need to move the security clearance IT system to the Department of Defense.

By all accounts, China is positioning itself to exert more influence in the Pacific and trying to build itself into a maritime power.

We are not out to keep China down. But we don't look for anybody to dominate the region and certainly not anybody to push the United States out.
