The Department of Navy has played and will continue to play a critical role in the defense of our Nation.

I remain concerned that the Air Force budget request is insufficient considering the needed modernization across the inventory with a rapidly evolving threat.

We have got to get our arms, one, around the inflation first, and then try to boost our defense capabilities in a dangerous world.

A lot of people, including this Senator, believe that the request is not enough considering the problems in the world.
