Contractor fraud, waste, and abuse are not only financially damaging, but our strategic efforts are undermined as well.

Our enemies, as I stated at the outset, are adaptive and increasingly use available technologies against us.

I want to commend your command for providing the initial support to the relief efforts in Haiti and your potential support to Chile.

General Renuart, I understand that you provide command and control for Defense Support to Civil Authorities (DSCA) as part of your mission to conduct civil support operations.

General Renuart, how effective is your joint intelligence fusion cell in providing actionable intelligence/information to various law enforcement agencies?

I want to commend you on your position with 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'

I applaud the level of integration of the Navy and the Marine Corps Reserves into the total force structure.

Keep in mind that at one time blacks could not serve with any dignity in our military.
