Deborah Lee James: “If we return to sequestration in fiscal year 2018, this will exacerbate the readiness problem and set us even farther…”

There have been actions and then there have been investments, I will say, on the part of China and Russia which are very worrying to the United States.

I feel that our national security concerns would be compromised too much, and again, realize these are tough budget times, but ask you to please try to reverse that sequester.

If you are reduced to one single way, that is the equivalent of putting all your eggs in one basket.

I think virtually everybody agrees that we would like to, as the United States of America, not be so reliant on a Russian engine going forward into the future.
