I can assure the Senator from New York, as long as I'm Chairman of this committee, we will not take away the responsibility of the commanding officer, the chain of command, as hard as she may try to remove that.

We've got to be more realistic in our foreign policy. We've got to know what we can do to affect, positively, the world and what we cannot do.

Our adversaries will not do what we ask of them out of the goodness of their hearts or of--out of concern for our interests or the suffering of others. They must be compelled, and that requires power.

In your professional military opinion, is it a good idea to set up an intelligence-sharing operation with the Russians?

America's adversaries neither respect nor fear us. America's friends are increasingly hedging their bets.

I do not believe it would be a good idea to share intelligence with the Russians.

budget instability is the greatest risk we face.
