Richard Shelby: “We look forward to this year working on the Banking Committee.”

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

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

Deterrence requires spending our limited resources on both offensive and defensive weapons.

I am deeply concerned, however, that the administration's failure to direct the appropriate resources to the crisis at the southern border has resulted in shifting the burden to the Guard.
