I am concerned that if we start having firings with an organic industrial base that is already limping in some ways, that that is not going to make the situation any better.

Our organic industrial base is a vital and important part of our force readiness and, ultimately, our national security.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendment No…

Let's actually hear from Representatives who live in these areas. I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Gosar).

Just like the previous amendment, this amendment was successfully added to last year's NDAA, but the conferees properly dropped it from the final conference report, so it ultimately failed. It is simply unacceptable that we would add an…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4350. We have maintained the bipartisan tradition of the Armed Services Committee. Now, while this administration promotes weakness abroad and tyranny at…

It is one of several flashpoints. That we can do a better job of partnering with them...

The recent Navy disclosure of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard dry-dock cost growth from $750 million to almost $2 billion does not engender faith that the Navy has completely bound the overall cost of this essential Navy repair capability.

It remains clear that the services are struggling to prioritize important investments in our aging and failing infrastructure.

Deferred maintenance is also bad business and a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I hope we don't have to rely on other countries like China that have horrible environmental policies.

It appears to me that he has gone rogue and I don't say that lightly.

This committee has been focused on this balance of maintaining our older systems while fielding new ones.

I am committed to working with the chairman and the rest of the subcommittee to ensure that depot recapitalization is prioritized.

Is this your maximum executable rate?

This recognition of the importance of space as a warfighting domain is long overdue and is vital to the future readiness of the joint force.

Unfortunately, the budget request did not continue the progress made under the Trump administration to rebuild our military.

For the first time, the Space Force is executing weapons system sustainment separate from the Air Force.

General Thompson, I have a question for you on Space Force. Can you describe to us the need for and the advantages of a Reserve Component for Space Force and what that would do for readiness?

These sound like good plans, and the whole committee would love to see the results as you go forward.

I look forward to seeing that report and helping to make sure that we do enter the next--this century and into the future with the best Reserve and Guard Component possible.

If so, what barriers are in the way that prevent you from executing to 100% of the requirement, especially considering costs are only anticipated to grow?

I strongly believe that we must continue to invest in our military as our adversaries grow, especially China.

I am concerned we are underprepared to support tomorrow's fight.
