I want to take a second to thank Senator Inhofe and Senator Reed and their staffs for all of their hard work on getting us to this point on the Defense authorization bill, which is so very important. Through the European Deterrence…
I rise to highlight an issue concerning the industrial base that supports the strategic TRIAD. Currently the Air Force is developing the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent or GBSD. This will be the Nation's new land-based intercontinental…

The development and deployment of a nationwide, high speed, 5G network is of great economic significance, as you know.
Urban and rural areas alike deserve high speed Internet. It is the crux of competing in our modern economy.
With a $6.6 billion or 8.3 percent funding increase for the Department, the budget request before us today is generous.
We've got some uncertainty right now in the Department, and we've got some uncertainty in leadership.
We are all doing the best we can. We are working away, but the current situation is not near as good as we would like.
I want to thank all of you for being here today. We do appreciate all of your hard work.
What we'd like to do is help you identify the things that are doing very, very well and maybe some programs that aren't doing as well and push in that direction.
We just need to get this going. This prolonged delay in awarding the contract change the requirements in fiscal year 2019.
Thank you, Senator Boozman, for consistently listening to and helping rural Arkansas.
I think Secretary Wilkie's reasoning is valid, and he seems to be doing the due diligence.
How the Department spends these funds is the real issue at hand, not the dollar amount.
It is just one more tool in our toolbox that will help our local communities fund the infrastructure that they need to serve their communities' needs.
It is more important than ever to hear from those in charge of the VA's major component administrations.
How the Department spends these funds is really the real issue at hand, not the dollar amount.
I ask unanimous consent that Alexandra Webb, an intern in the office of Senator Sullivan, be granted floor privileges for the remainder of the day. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
