I led a letter with 31 members supporting your efforts.

Those are eye-watering statistics in terms of the pandemic response, which I think is going to go down in the annals of our country's public health history.

The President, back in December, designated the submarine workforce as essential in a Defense Production Act Executive order

I think the world owes President Zelensky and the Ukraine a great thank you.

As General Omar Bradley once said, strategy is for amateurs. Logistics is for professionals.

I fall into the category of Vladimir Putin had no intentions of stopping with Ukraine.

In line with your concept of distributed logistics, and especially in light of the Red Hill closure, do you believe that the 10 vessels authorized under the Tanker Security Program will be enough?

I think, certainly, this committee is going to want to do everything to enable the success of that.

I do want to remember that the submarine piece is one portion of it, right?

We need to convince the world to go in a different direction, and to do that, we need a robust presence in the Indo-Pacific region.

China is, without question, the country most capable of competing with the U.S. in terms of their economic strength.

Russia and China, as we know, are actively engaged in many parts of the world.

The Indo-Pacific region is a crucially important region to the national security of the United States and to the peace and stability of the world.

Congratulations to the administration for helping make that come together.

The House of Representatives failed the military and veteran community today.

I think the U.S. should ratify UNCLOS and get part of the structure of enforcing that type of illegal behavior.

The public opinion polls in Australia after that agreement was announced were over 60 percent approval and very little opposition.

Who is exactly to blame for what's going on and that is solely President Putin.

I think, you know, one--and it's not strictly under the Department of Defense, but the approach that the administration took in terms of sharing intelligence over the last, really, 2 or 3 months is very, I think, distinctive.

The notion that the Biden administration is suppressing oil and gas or that Canadian oil is not coming into the U.S., as both of these industry journals indicate is, in fact, not correct.

I'd like to see the Stryker Brigade that's moved there temporarily made permanent.

I urge my colleagues to support the Hayes amendment in the en bloc and the underlying bill.

The meter is going to be running for a while.

The running costs when you consider the temporary lodging, and the transportation, and the leasing of all the filtering assemblies, and all the other things that we have had to do to clean up the well and the water distribution system…

The urgency and the acceleration of efforts, which the Navy has done in December, is in my opinion a large part due to their advocacy on behalf of their constituents.
