I think my good friend to my right, Senator DeMint, is going to ask what table you are talking about

do you think that is in our best national security interest?

Money that would be coming to the United States, that by virtue of this treaty, would not come to the United States--I call that a tax.

the Reserve Officers Association does not endorse ratification of the Law of the Sea Treaty.

To agree to the Law of the Sea Treaty acknowledges that the United Nations has authority over the United States maritime territorial claims.

I think we should put to rest this issue of the idea that the Commander in Chief has ordered you to testify in a certain way.

While some have asserted that the Law of the Sea Treaty puts shackles on our maritime forces, I agree with the assessment of the Navy JAG that article 110 pertaining to the right of visit actually strengthens our ability to conduct…

The Navy and the Coast Guard's ability to conduct maritime interdiction is an important tool to stop drug trafficking and conduct counterproliferation operations.

The President's proposed budget doesn't adequately support the Guard and Reserve.

I wonder if you could tell me how successful that was, whether some of that is still going on or not in terms of our border control activities.

Our veterans should never be use as pawns in a scheme to exploit the taxpayers. DVNF has a responsibility to show it's genuinely helping veterans and playing by the rules.

I have a hunch that that outfit, the mail order is using the veterans organization as a front for themselves.

There are a lot of unfortunate bad apples.

I don't want retired schoolteachers or any other good Americans to be duped by fraudulent organizations into giving money, thinking it is going to disabled vets, when in fact it's not at all. It's going in to pad the pockets of some scam…

There's no question there's some kind of a shell game, some kind of a scam going on here.

It just makes me angry, frankly, that some outfit wants to take advantage of gullible people for their own personal benefit, at the expense of veterans.

Our veterans should never be used as pawns in a scheme to exploit the taxpayers. DVNF has a responsibility to show it's genuinely helping veterans and playing by the rules.

I -- it sounds like it's a front. I don't think it's legit. It takes about $56 million from ordinary good Americans who want to help veterans, but they don't give any of the money to veterans.
