We're right on our numbers? Thank you.

I'm a cancer survivor. I survived clear-cell sarcoma about 15 years ago.

I want to thank General Jackson and General Etter for coming into the office in recent weeks to talk about one of the things I want to talk to you about today.

I'm troubled that while survival rates of many cancers are steadily improving, one of the most lethal forms of cancer, pancreatic cancer, remains at about 6 percent.

Well, does that mean, though, that you're going to prioritize it in terms of funding and try to invest more there?

I think that is one reason why you're seeing some reluctance. Obviously, there are political reasons too, but some reluctance in the Senate.

it's hard for me to understand where the savings are coming from.

I'm very concerned that all of this was not taken into consideration when it came time to make decisions on the budget.

I've asked repeatedly for a cost analysis used by the Air Force, and there's been reluctance on behalf of the Air Force to share the cost analysis with me.

I'd still like to see the numbers to satisfy my curiosity about how much we'd actually be saving there.

I understand that we are in a shrinking-budget environment. I completely get that and appreciate that.

I'm not at all convinced of is the cost savings achieved by doing this, specifically with the A-10s.
