So, we will pursue it.

Are you willing to think outside the box?

$2.9 billion of critical military construction projects that have not been built, but that money is sitting unspent.

Eleven billion dollars taken out of the Department of Defense activities all across this world.

That is a lot of--that is just not factual. You know that is not factual.

The answer is yes. Okay? Is it yes or no?

Yes, we are concerned, but what are you doing about it?

Heads up, we are not going to back off on this. The spurs are on, and we are going to ride hard until we get this resolved.

So what is another $2 billion for? Good question. We should ask that question.

What are your top three priorities in standing up the Space Force? What are the opportunities and challenges?

The Air Force proposes a huge expansion of the footprint of the Nevada Training and Testing Range?

In your view, can the proposed expansion of the Nevada Training and Testing Range be carried out in a manner that both enhances military readiness and is compatible with stewardship of natural and cultural resources?

You are not meeting your own readiness standards, yet the Air Force only funds the Weapon Systems Sustainment accounts at 87% of the requirement.

You under-executed flight hours in 2018 and 2019, resulting in a substantial depletion of your Working Capital Fund.

The FY21 budget request would result in the retirement of 10 KC-10 and 13 KC-135 aircraft.

Can you please define the impact that border wall reprogramming actions had and will have on Air Force readiness?

Wherever I can get the best education to get into the Space Force.

Indeed, if our staff had gotten together, we could have written one because what you said is what I would have said, and perhaps vice versa.

The actions taken by the Department last month that disregard Congress' constitutional authority to determine how the Nation spends defense dollars.

We need to think about how to bring into reality a sealift capacity for whatever you plan out there.

The 355-ship Navy is yesterday's plan.

The 75th anniversary of Iwo Jima is upon us.

Why then are we going to build 80 pits a year beginning in 10 years?

This dance is getting us nowhere.

I don't understand what that means.
