We can certainly track, for example, if a nuclear weapon is used the perpetrator of that particular attack.

If confirmed, I will study this matter and work toward the most expeditious means to pursue such contracts consistent with the requirements of the law.

If confirmed, I would first look at all studies and pilot programs that have been completed to date on how the Fully Burdened Cost of Fuel might be calculated and then lead a collaborative effort with the Joint Staff, relevant defense…

The potential to generate an escalating conflict is not insignificant, much like we saw during the Cold War era with nuclear weapons.

Generally, I believe the Director of Operational Energy Plans and Programs should focus on making the link between improved energy security and improved mission effectiveness and force capabilities.

Renewable energy platforms that target these end uses, either on the supply or demand side, may reduce the logistical burdens on deployed forces.

I know you're passionate about this. I know we've talked about the very interesting similarities between outer space and inner space, inner space including this area of cyber and cybersecurity.

The best generals always seem to work for the newspapers.

I support the way forward, and I'm going to very carefully study the assessments at the end of this year and as we move forward.

It seems to me--and I'm thinking out loud, which can be dangerous--that if you have a kinetic environment, say at a forward operating base in Afghanistan, if that base were to be overrun by the enemy in a tactical effort, it would not…

I hold the President responsible, on down through the chain of command, that we'll get the kind of unified team in Afghanistan to make this strategy a successful one.

I think these information assurance programs between industry, government, and understanding the full spectrum of threats that we face from individual hackers up to nation states in securing that are going to be key.

But at the same time, I understand there are some vulnerabilities that may arise because of the deployment of the smart grid technologies.

Secure and renewable energy sources without a risky logistical tail, vulnerabilities, or burden on combat capability would greatly benefit our Armed Forces.

I am in the camp that thinks it's time to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell.'

The Subcommittee on National Parks will come to order.

He clearly is eminently qualified to serve as liaison of the Congress.

I want to speak about a bill that is born from the forward-thinking ideas of our constituents--a bill that will help spur our Nation's new energy economy and create jobs. To that end, tomorrow I will introduce the Solar Uniting…

I look forward to working with you to implement this study and with the Park Service.

The Assistant Secretary Position should be filled as soon as possible.

A crime is a crime, as it was pointed out, whether it is $500 from a cash register or literally billions, in fact trillions of dollars of net worth that we have seen taken from Americans and American families. I commend the Presiding…

the legacy of Frank McWorter and all that happened in New Philadelphia is one that we should cherish and preserve.

I rise, along with my colleagues this morning, to draw attention to the growing dysfunction exacted on this institution's ability to confirm both judicial and executive branch nominees. Having served five terms in the House of…

He's a straight-shooter. Believe it or not, I never found him to really have a political agenda.

I look forward to hearing more about Dr. Borlaug. He sounds like quite an American story.
