Ben Nelson: “We're at a crisis. We're running out of money and we need to do this as a core function of government.”

I firmly agree with the importance of oversight because we are in a government-owned/contractor-operated situation, there are substantial liabilities.

If there were trust, then it would be much easier for the oversight to move away from transactional to more directional.

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

These programs are central to our national security. They deserve full, bipartisan support.
