Richard Shelby: “Congress needs to remedy this promptly with legislation Senator Shelby introduced 7 years ago in 2002.”

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

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

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

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