The toll sexual assault and sexual harassment has taken on our military is devastating and incalculable.

Since 2010, the Department of Defense [DOD] estimates that roughly 135,000 Active Duty service members... have been sexually assaulted.

I appreciate your assurances that my efforts to remove all felony crimes from the chain of command are complementary to the IRC's recommendations.

So, if we are truly a country that supports family values, it is time to show it.

He hasn't ever had a baby. So, maybe he thinks it is a vacation.

That is alarming. Thank you. I yield back.

The amount of nicotine in an e-cigarette is--is it 12 milligrams? Is that what I read somewhere?

You know, one of the biggest concerns is that these young people don't appreciate there is nicotine in these e-cigarettes.

So, it appears that there are some companies now that are just, basically, ignoring the requirements, Puff Bar being one of them.

So, the previous administration at one point said they were going to ban fruit flavors and then they reversed themselves, and as a result, menthol JUUL pods were increased by, like, a thousand percent among high school students.

I have introduced legislation (the Servicemember Parental Leave Equity Act, H.R. 3122) to expand caregiver leave for servicemembers to 12 weeks for both new mothers and fathers.

I am finding it hard to understand why the Navy has already started reassigning 200 employees of the Navy Audit Service to nonaudit jobs.

I guess my only comment would be what we need to get to the bottom of was why this senior leader was elevated to an inspector general position after he did such a horrific job in allowing those AAVs with sailors and I guess a soldier that…

I would like to know what you are doing to ensure command climate data is taken seriously and the commanders are held accountable for fixing the situation.

What explains the extraordinary overruns in the cost of the F-35 to run?

I, too, do not support defunding the police.

I think the American public has the right to know.

It's quite simple. Basically, it would allow that the names and the information about products that are linked to injuries and death be made public.

Would you support an amendment to the CPSC that would no longer provide the kind of a gag rule that allows for deaths of products to not be disclosed to the public?

Why is this critical training discretionary, and will the Navy commit to making it mandatory?
