I think the church in the West, all religious faiths in the West, should come together and support these people in every way they can.

When this government falls, as it will fall, the same way the East German Government fell with regard to the Berlin Wall, the West will feel so guilty to know that it said nothing.

I think certainly the State Department should do everything they can, quite frankly, to bring about regime change in North Korea.

What could SEC, with the strapped resources that you have, do to improve what private equity has done for the economy?

I was pleased that the President last week tipped his hat to capital formation as something that is very important to help get this economy going.

my view, my Main Street view, southern Virginia view, is that is money that could be used to invest in another Dollar General or in another Ply Gem window manufacturer in the Fifth District.

I think it is on the top of everybody's mind.

I know of thousands of jobs, hundreds if not thousands of jobs that are in Virginia's Fifth District as well as across the Commonwealth.

I thank the gentlelady for yielding, and I am grateful for her leadership.

It seems to me that it is incumbent on all of us to try to figure out how to help the most in need.

I understand that.

I do not think there is anybody in DOD who, if given a choice between being a four-star and being an SES, would pick being an SES.

All right. Thank you.

Yes, but you are saying that that number has not really changed.

Secretary Stanley, section 525 of title 10, U.S.C., establishes the maximum number of O-8s, O-9s, and O-10s each Service may have in their institutional force.

So it would be your view that the Secretary of Defense has the authority under the legislative umbrella to declare that to be a four star?

Thank you very much, Senator Graham.

Secretary Stanley, what are the criteria or standards used to make this determination, and what is the approval process?
