I think it is very important.

I think it is important to make sure we understand. I am not sure you have stated absolutely clearly what would happen.

Are there actions we could take to deter our potential adversaries from taking such action?

Although Beijing claims the launch was part of a high-altitude scientific experiment, available data suggests it was intended to test at least the launch vehicle component of a new high-altitude ASAT capability.

I am troubled by these developments and look forward to understanding your strategy for countering and deterring China's offensive space efforts.

Adversaries like China and Russia are rapidly positioning themselves to overtake American dominance in the space domain.

This budget demonstrates a failure in presidential leadership that undermines our national security.

If we are smart, we will be able to work through this without having these programs that we have invested so much in for so long be damaged.

I do not think, under the Budget Control Act, they will have to be cut that much, which is good news.

I believe that Secretary Hagel will be forced to make some tough decisions.

I support a more frugal approach. I will give you an A, but it is delaying things.

I do not want to overstate my happiness about where we are financially and the way the programs are going.

I hope that will continue. They have to participate with intensity in this effort.

I think that is important to us because we need a healthy triad and healthy nuclear deterrent.

Our understanding is that we could go back and modernize the triad over a period of years.

I sense that the administration and DOD is thinking more clearly about this area, and some of the spending priorities represent a step in the right direction.

At some point--at some point--we will need to include others in arms control negotiations.

I am afraid it does, and apparently it has a growing nuclear arsenal.

If we need to accelerate some of this, it is a relatively small part of the budget overall, and I think we have to do it.

We are going to invest in the modernization we need to keep the deterrent stronger than it has ever been, and you have my commitment on that.

It has been my concern, which I have raised publicly, that the Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) statement that had some 30-odd references to a world without nuclear weapons was stunning to me.

I don't believe 420,000 is sufficient for the Army.

We paid $211 billion in interest on our debt this past year, and it will rise to $880 billion 10 years from today.

The greatest threat to our future is the debt.

I believe that it has been disproportionately squeezed in our budget process.
