Richard Shelby: “This administration, I believe, seems to think that NASA's job is to use taxpayer money as venture capital to support…”

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

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

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.

Because the administration has refused to fund the construction of a comprehensive barrier along the border, it has been compelled to send the National Guard to deal with the consequences.
