This administration's failure is making our communities less safe.

Without it, we cannot deter conflict. Without it, we cannot provide vital effects. Without it, we cannot protect the Joint Force.

The Sentinel Project is a project that is near and dear to both Senator Hoeven and me.

We are running against some real-time issues if we are going to get these replaced in the three ICBM bases by 2036.

This is a very dangerous time in which we live, in my lifetime, probably comparable to the early '60s with the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The fact that some of these corporations are using the money to buy stocks back without building capacity first is incredibly irresponsible.

I think this is totally inadequate. I think we have got to figure out a way to make sure, at this dangerous time, which I believe is the most dangerous time in the world since the early 1960s, that we give you the money you need and then…

We can't figure out who they are. We don't know who they are for sure because they are not in any database.
