I disagree with you on this issue.

I don't agree with the Law of the Sea Treaty, and I think there are a lot of deficiencies.

I would do the same.

I do agree with the position that we really are stressed right now, in terms of resources, assets, and force strength.

The best news was, on the other side, two of the most severe critics in the New York Times came back... and agree with virtually everything that you two have said about the progress that's taking place right now.

On the no nuclear testing program, for as long as they have had that I've been concerned whether or not we're actually keeping a credible nuclear deterrent.

After my 14th trip over there, to the Iraqi area of responsibility, I came back seeing incredible progress.

Why don't you do this. You look at the adequacy of the section 1208 and let us know if it looks like it might be a problem.

Good. Let me just echo what the chairman and Senator Warner said. I just think the world of all three of you and look forward to working with you in your new capacities.

Admiral Olson, we hear a lot about OPTEMPO, we hear about the Guard and Reserve and the problems that they're having right now.

I'd like to know your feelings about the adequacy of that account and how significant the section 1208 funds are.

I appreciate it very much.

That's my thinking here. Special Ops used to be rather small. Right now it's growing more rapidly than any other element out there.

if we do not really utilize the advantages that come with an IMET program, China is doing it.

So you think that you have new tools now that you didn't have before that would give us some level of confidence that we have something that works?

I think it's very important that you do take an assessment of what is in the other commands that can be transferred there.

You have always been a real strong supporter of that.

I was critical, back during the Clinton administration, when I expected that the North Koreans had a lot greater delivery capability for missiles.
