As we focus on preserving and prevention--actually I was very intrigued by the conversation that was just going on here.

Alaska depends to a great extent on its commercial fisheries. They have been ongoing for over 100 years.

Thank you very much, Madam Chair.

The sustainability of the fisheries is what provides the predictability of the future for industry and for communities.

I think you summarized very well the importance of the legislation.

Secretary Burns, which energy companies and banks still do business in Iran?

I just want to get dates and times that go with it.

Please let us know on the timetable.

Do you have a workflow schedule that can say, for example, item A, item B, item C?

I will do everything I can to get to Alaska as soon as I can, and I am looking forward to it.

I am not going to get into net neutrality, Internet freedom.

I would highly encourage you to do it because I do not care if it is in this committee or my Armed Services Committee or Veterans Committee, this is going to be my mantra.

We will be on the phone every 3 days then.

My issue is that it's for everything from small arms to large facilities.

I just want to make sure that's all part of the equation when finally decided.

I'm not sure you can answer this, but I want to put it on the record...

I'm going to use mine: it's doubled in the cost per unit.

My confidence level on the ability to perform on this aircraft is low, in the cost end.

In his speech in Prague on April 8, President Obama said the United States and Russia would conduct a joint assessment of emerging ballistic missiles.

I was truly proud to vote for and help pass that legislation last December. But as mentioned already this morning, there are many benefits that occur right now, this year. This year, for example, there is help for small businesses. As you…

Robust access to space is a national imperative.

I know there is one--of the rehabilitation and renovation to the facility, and just to make sure we're on track on the dollar requirements.

I think once you're on the ground there, first, you'll find a very committed community within range of the base.

We would love to have you up there. It's a very unique situation, but also there are some, what I would call some deficits.

I don't know if you've ever been to Fort Greely. Have you been up there?
