John McCain: “It's very regrettable because we have five nominees, the most I've ever seen, in a very truncated process here.”

I especially want to acknowledge the leadership of Senator McCain of Arizona who introduced the Native American Languages Act (NALA) in 1990.

The Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) required the Air Force to maintain a minimum of 1,900 fighter aircraft, of which at least 1,100 would be combat coded.

I want to say to all of you that I am so honored to be here to speak before this Committee.

As stressed in the newly released National Defense Strategy, Russia and other adversaries have mastered the art of conducting a systematic aggression against the United States.
