My time is concluding. I will say that in a program that spends billions of dollars over the years, tens of millions of dollars of costs to develop an American-made capability so we are not depending on our number geopolitical adversary's…

I continue to hear through official and personal channels from the pilots who were flying aircraft over Iraq and Syria's territory, as well as their families that tell me some pretty harrowing stories about those effectiveness rates.

The Pentagon in some ways is designed to procure the weapons and capabilities for the next generation's war as opposed to fight the war it is in right now.

I think based on the historical record, as well as their own investments, it suggests to me that Vladimir Putin's narrative about the West is maybe another classic Russian campaign of dezinformatsiya.

Given that countries like Poland and Latvia and Lithuania and Estonia have all chosen freely to join NATO, do you think there is any truth to his claims that these are lands that are traditionally oriented towards the east?

Whatever the response may be, even if it is not a public response, Vladimir Putin needs to understand it is a response.

I agree. Senator, I would look forward to an opportunity to talk with you about some of the things.

I think it also portends some potential problems here than may linger between Russia and Turkey.

I think they are very keen to ensure they have a long-term presence in the area.

I think that it is, Senator.

I am worried about what this presages for Guantanamo Bay in the last 9 months of this presidency.

It would seem a very plain violation of the black letter of the law.

Mr. Fanning, can you ensure that Army manager's will seek guidance from Congress if clarification about our intent is needed?

Can you commit to the Committee that the Army will comply with letter and spirit of the NDAA regarding DCGS-A?

I want to ask if you could elaborate on that.

Turkey was protecting their sovereign airspace.

You want the FDA to approve these drugs because the compounding does not go through the same rigorous testing.

In Arkansas we have looked at disability enrollment rates vs. population growth.

Let's shift to the statistical evidence here, Dr. Duggan.

Now it seems like all those ads are about disability. You know, 'Call this number, I'll get your disability check for you.'

The Social Security Disability Program is critical to Arkansas, as my State has some of the highest rates of disability in the Nation.

The one country that spans across the entire continent and has a global interest, you might say, like the United States, is Russia.

I agree with the steps that have been taken to increase the presence of NATO and United States forces in eastern Europe.

Putin has provoked all of this.

I do think I am standing between everyone and lunch, so thank you all very much for your time here today.
