Richard Shelby: “We have got to get that to the depots, have we not?”

I'm concerned, and I think I'm joined by a lot of others in the Senate and the House, about the impact inflation is having on the Army and the Navy and everything else.

With inflation at the highest levels we've seen in 40 years, the request represents a cut from the 2022 level.

A complex and evolving security environment requires a serious commitment to our national defense.

As Senator Shelby at our Senate testimony hearing last March pointed out to us, we must maintain what we have before we can build new, and I think he hits the mark head-on.
