The key word is 'unilateral,' and that is what concerns me.

The only real hits are defense.

The President's budget request cuts the F-35 budget by $1.6 billion in fiscal year 2013 and $15.1 billion over the FYDP.

Will the proposed fiscal year 2013 delay force the Navy to SLEP or procure more F/A-18s?

Is the continued use of nuclear power on Navy ships a part of your plan for a green fleet?

Navy's investments in the testing and certification of alternative fuels for use in Navy's platforms will only increase Navy's future combat capability.

Detainees are treated humanely and in accordance with U.S. regulations and international law.

Secretary Mabus and Admiral Greenert, if this is a priority of yours, are you planning to make any additional purchases of alternate or synthetic fuels with defense funds this year or in fiscal year 2013?

I am impressed with the number of operations being conducted by the Navy in and around the African continent to include combating the transit of extremists.

I continue to have concerns about our current missile defense plan.

The need to find cost competitive alternative fuels has never been greater.

DOD's healthcare costs have doubled since fiscal year 2001, growing from around $17 billion to over $42 billion...

Why did you restrict the proposal to only fuels derived from plants or algae when other cheaper alternatives to petroleum already exist?

I agree that it should be a part of the plan.

How many steaming or flying days did the Navy sacrifice in order to purchase biofuels?

Several of us on this side of the aisle and on the other side of the aisle made an effort to include tactical nuclear weapons at the time that we were looking at the New START program.

I intend to modernize or replace the triad strategic nuclear delivery system.

I wanted to get to one other thing and that is what's happening right now over in AFRICOM.
