John McCain

I have promised to. That is the intent of this legislation, and I appreciate that.

It is beyond my understanding why the Department of Homeland Security would not publicly disclose the information that is necessary to all Americans.

I have town hall meetings all over my State.

I think I have an obligation, not just to the people of Arizona, but to the people of this country, to assure them that not only will we enact comprehensive immigration reform, but we are not going to come back and face this same third…

It is obvious that you learned a lot, as I did, and I appreciate it very much.

The cost of an ounce of cocaine has not gone up a dollar in the last 5 years.

Thirteen percent up. That may have something to do with an improving economy and a perception south of the border of two things, one, that there is a job market, and two, that sequestration is having an effect on your operations.

We have to make judgments, particularly since we have pending an incredibly important piece of legislation before the Congress of the United States.

In 1986, I was around here and we passed legislation that gave, 'amnesty' to three million Americans.

I agree with you that we have to have comprehensive reform.

To the victims, thanks for coming forward. I know it is not an easy thing to do.

If we are going to continue to be the most effective fighting force for freedom and good in the world, we are going to have to solve this problem.

The reason, Senator Gillibrand, we want to prosecute people who do that is they are destroying the unit's effectiveness.

Clearly, the message we are sending to our female members of the military is that we are way too indifferent and that your complaints are falling on deaf ears.

Senator John McCain and others have left. The rare outreach by President Obama came as both sides tried to figure out how to stop the forced federal spending cuts.

Secretary Donley, as the Air Force implements the C-27J divestiture, what is the current status of the screening procedure outlined in DOD 4160.21-M?

Secretary Donley, what number of aircraft has been requested by the Forest Service or the Coast Guard at this time?

Secretary Donley, have any C-27J been identified for allocation to: (1) another military Service; (2) another DOD agency; (3) the Forest Service; (4) the U.S. Coast Guard; (5) Federal/State law enforcement?

If you think that Congress needs to act in any way, I promise you we are more than eager to accept your recommendations as to what actions need to be taken to do exactly as you said.

I hope you will view it with some urgency because I am told that we may have a shortfall in our ability to combat these fires.

Does your budget planning for fiscal year 2014 consider--does it assume that sequestration will be repealed?

The ability of your pilots to perform at the highest level in combat will be degraded because of the lack of training.

It's one of the more embarrassing moments for me in the many years that I have had the honor of serving here in this body.

If the sequester is not fixed, Admiral Greenert, are you ready to identify where you would have to cut your budget?

So they will not be ready to replace those rotating back out?
