if sequestration is not removed, the unit cost is going to go right back up

If sequestration were to come back in 2016, what impact would it have on the unit cost of the F-35?

I know enough to defer to Senator Shelby on this issue regardless of who got here first.

I totally share your belief that sequestration needs to go away permanently, and it would have devastating impacts if it does.

I am very concerned about the state of readiness of the Air Force

It is clear to me that there is an inconsistency that doesn't help and real frustration.

No State is immune from the evils of sex trafficking and the stories of victims are simply shocking.

All of the women in the Senate share a common concern about the horrific problem of human trafficking right here in our country.

If you need more money to do it, tell us.
