And it's getting worse, Mr. Dubois. The contamination is spreading and the levels in many places are now higher, and it's permeating the food chain. And that makes it serious.

I find not the most optimum situation.

Now two States are the largest in terms of contamination, one is Texas, and one is California.

I understand that, I don't want to belabor it.

I think the Secretary of Defense has indicated that he believes because of the uncertainties of OIF and OEF that there will be a supplemental.

As you know, we spent a lot of time last year on these European bases...

Good. Good. That's some good news.

You know they're going to California.

It's my understanding that the Air Force took a big hit and still is with respect to environmental cleanup.

Last year we were unable to fund the consolidated fitness center requested by the Air Force for Vandenberg.

Well, can you, give us a progress report on moving out of Seoul and moving south.

I'm shocked at you, Madam Chairman.

Well, you should be aware, respectfully, of the report language.

And we clearly said in our report language that if you did, we'd fund it this year.

CENTCOM has prioritized another 44 projects at an estimated cost of $531 million, in urgent and unfunded contingency construction requirements.

I'd like to ask you a question about the heroin--or the opium poppy production in Afghanistan.

My very strong view is that this nation should always observe the protocols of the Geneva Conventions.

There is no way we can lose this war militarily, and there is no way we can win it militarily.

Last year, I asked you, at this hearing, about the robust nuclear earth penetrator, and you told me it was just a study.

What have you done to remedy this problem?

National Missile Defense is not and should not be seen as a one-size-fits-all substitute for an effective non-proliferation strategy.

A large number of detainees are innocent. They're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I believe National Missile Defense is one of the key foreign policy and national security issues that we will face in the coming decades.

We need to spend our resources wisely to make sure that we can protect our nation from these threats.

I think we always have to apply the Geneva Convention, because, with our Nation, regardless of whether it is state or non-state, we have a certain moral imperative that we cannot escape.
