Good luck in that regard. By the way, I think Boeing and Northrop are both great companies.

I think it wouldn't surprise you and the Secretary to know that the Guard, whether it's the ANG or the Army Guard, are always keen to take advantage of equipment that may be available.

I think we need to continue to look for opportunities to bring our Reserve component in as active participants in our headquarters.

There's a tendency for it to become isolated from society. The Reserves and the Guard provide that pipeline.

Thank you, to both of you, for taking care of our hemisphere--the American Hemisphere and all the opportunities we have here, and in maintaining our leadership role.

Let me say that we have over the last year been working hard to stand up renewable energy on our public lands.

We hope to have permitted 13 commercial scale solar energy projects which will have the capacity of producing 4,500 megawatts of power.

I very much appreciate the men and women who work in the oil fields, because they are real people whose families very much rely on oil and gas development.

I see the impacts of climate change and the warming of the climate firsthand in the places that I have responsibility to manage on behalf of the American people.

We estimate that those 13 projects, permitted hopefully by December the 1st or before, will generate about 4,567 megawatts and will create over 40,000 jobs.

Those projects as they are built will, in our estimation, create over 40,000 jobs here in America.
