Well, because we have had to pull from existing subcommittees to do that.

The growth of defense spending has outpaced HASC's ability to conduct proper oversight.

That software has been really valuable to us. I don't know how we would have handled all that input.

the Russians are fighting a massive information campaign... they are also trying to break the coalition

the cost of trying to get the F-16 up and ready to operate in Ukraine... best case scenario, we could maybe get some operational F-16s into Ukraine within a year

this is not a wise use of the resources that are necessary to win the fight

These are unprecedented numbers, and it requires an unprecedented level of oversight by this committee and by Congress.

This conflict must end. And the President must be willing to do what it takes to end it with victory.

let's make sure that that criticism is constructive and we maintain our unity

we would like Ukraine to win tomorrow, Russia to be completely pushed out. But I think we also have to be realistic about the challenge that we faced.

the way that coalition was pulled together and the forces that have been given and the weapons that have been given to Ukraine to enable them to be as successful as they have been, combined of course with their unbelievable courage and tenacity, is really a remarkable accomplishment.
