Mike Rogers

I thank my friend from Tennessee, and I urge my friends in the House to vote ``yes.'' I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Alabama (Mr. Rogers). The amendment…

I think this is a candidate that's trying to mature into his foreign policy positions.

I mean sometimes he talks about engagement. I mean his clearly saying he wants to be more engaged with Putin, that's clearly a diplomatic engagement strategy.

I do think that after the election, you will see a taming of the candidates.

Cyber operations from China are still targeting and exploiting U.S. Government, defense industry, academic, and private computer networks.

In a response to a request for information, MDA indicated that planned Patriot-THAAD integration will consist of being able to pass planning data between units via compact disc.

When you testified, you stated the Army Requirements Oversight Council was meeting that week to establish an actual operational requirement for the LTAMD radar. Did it?

What do potential adversaries like Russia, China, Iran and other states know about THAAD and PATRIOT?

Can you remind this committee why road-mobile missiles are a defense challenge for us?

I understand the United Arab Emirates has indicated its willingness to make a considerable investment in development of an evolved extended-range THAAD system.

What consequences have there been for contractor responsibility for such data loss/theft/spillage?

Virtually every part of DOD has been the subject of cyber attacks, whether for espionage or other purposes.

What is the risk that, due to obsolescence, the Army will not be able to keep the Patriot radar fully functional to your planned 2028 initial fielding plan?

I understand the U.S. is discussing a Foreign Military Sales case with Qatar for THAAD. Why is this case important for Qatar and THAAD?

Can you please describe for me why we see reductions in SM-3 procurement quantities in your budget request for fiscal year 2017?

Please identify the studies MDA has carried out on its own or with other agencies or entities on space-based missile defense sensors?

What are the capability gaps that could be filled by a space sensor layer for the BMDS? Please reply in detail.

Do you support providing the People's Republic of China with any detailed technical information on THAAD, including classified information?

Is the People's Republic of China, under current NDPC policy, permitted to receive any FOUO, ITAR, UCTI, SECRET or TOP SECRET information about THAAD?

Is the Russian Federation, under current NDPC policy, permitted to receive any FOUO, ITAR, UCTI, SECRET or TOP SECRET information about any U.S. missile defense system?

I think you're aware of the planned radar modernization of the Patriot system, which will take as long as 12 years to provide an improved radar to our soldiers; how long would a comparable effort take MDA?

How much longer would it take and how much more would it cost to develop, test and field Poland Aegis Ashore site on the planned timeline in the normal 5000 series rules and regulations? Would MDA be able to meet the President's 2018 goal?

If MDA was developing and procuring these new Patriot radars with the acquisition authorities you have, how much time would it take you to do it?

As the acquisition lead for the Army for Patriot, can you please assure us that at the end of the Lower Tier Army Missile Defense radar modernization program that all, all, capability and objective requirements gaps will be closed so that…

Please provide the operational availability information for each Patriot battery for the most recent year for which it is available.
