We would love to see that.

I will work with you to make sure that the action plans that are formulated are carried out, and we will continue our oversight in the future.

This is the second hearing we have had on this extremely important topic.

To begin with, I want to commend the courage and persistence of military spouses for bringing this issue to our attention.

I can tell that the specificity is there, the metrics, the harnessing of incentives, the re-education or better education down to the garrison level...

I believe our military has the capability to walk and chew gum at the same time. I think we can handle multiple priorities simultaneously and do them right and do them well.

The fiscal year 2020 budget proposal goes a long way towards rebuilding our forces toward readiness and finally investing in modernization.

So if the threat is as urgent as you suggest, and I believe it is, and if time is of the essence, I would highly recommend that Colorado Springs be the best location.

I want to thank the witnesses for being here. I appreciate the testimony of each one of you.

Yeah, $10 million. And if the day comes when biofuels are less expensive, sure, let's experiment with them then and see how effective they are, how cheap they are, and how available they are. I am a believer in all of the above.

This is something Congress has been diligently pursuing.

I applaud the ongoing efforts of the Department of Defense to make installations more resilient and both installations and operations more efficient.

I emphasize 'responsible.' By that, I mean measures that enhance resiliency and national security, not arbitrary goals established for other reasons.

However, when national energy policy is debated, this committee's role is to ensure that any emerging policy does not adversely affect military operations--an important but much more narrow issue.

We depend on our military forces and installations for national security and cannot afford lapses in either.

We all recognized too late that Naval Surface Forces, especially forward-deployed ships, were being run too hard.

I want to ensure that their successors are equally equipped to withstand the imperatives of operational pressures when they are unsure their ships and crews are ready.

I am concerned with three things: Have the corrections employed made a difference? What further actions are needed? And do any of the changes implemented need to be reversed?

This combined joint hearing is really important, so I am glad that we are having it.

I thank the ranking member of the committee for his leadership. I rise to speak against this resolution, which would direct the removal of U.S. forces from Yemen. This resolution is dangerous, and the majority should immediately take this…

It will eliminate 88 percent of our current energy sources and about 6 million jobs.

But instead of a dream the Green New Deal looks more like a nightmare.

What kind of impact will that have, maybe not on the middle class or upper class, but on working class and poor Americans, elderly people on a fixed income?

This non-binding resolution makes grandiose and socialistic promises of jobs for everyone, free college, and prosperity.

I don't want to talk about climate change, the science behind it, the man-made role. I want to talk about the proposals that are on the table to deal with it.
