Ben Nelson: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman.”

U.S. forces will be capable of deterring and defeating aggression by any potential adversary.

I think there is concern that the administration is headed down a path to make unilateral reductions in U.S. nuclear weapons.

It is encouraging to know that there is that effort at coordination and collaboration because if there is any quick way to lose opportunity or to miss optimization, it is everyone going off on their own way.

Our troops' force protection has to be among the highest priorities, together with protecting the Homeland.
