How does the Army prioritize these issues?

Secretary Hammack, can you explain how the leasing option might facilitate fundraising by private foundations and how the Army could legally support that?

I believe our goal here should not simply be to reach a solution that is feasible, but to achieve the right solution for the Army and the Nation.

Secretary Hammack, is it possible that the lease option could hurt private fundraising?

Will you engage the non-Army stakeholders-- particularly the local communities and the private foundations seeking to build museums?

this is going to absolutely hamstring our ability to carry out our mission.

Frankly, they appear to be inhibitors to getting the job done, and not for the right reasons.

The delays in delivery are concerning to all of us.
