There are a whole host of issues that I think still kind of scream out for questions in the future.

The Black Hawks are going to be around for a while.

So, I would expect that we will continue to have thousands of Black Hawks in our fleet.

We must, again, and I want to urge both of you, that we expedite long-range HIMARS [High Mobility Artillery Rocket System], whatever, to deter the aggression, the mass murder being conducted.

We are going to have plenty of time to, like I said, pick through entrails of this.

There is no--whatever sort of is out there, we did not kill that program.

Ten months ahead of schedule. I will end on that positive note.

This is not on the taxpayer's dime.

I look forward to the witnesses' testimony.

We are not a rubber stamp.

Thank you for the support enabling the enterprise to reach this point 5 years earlier than originally anticipated!

What are the risks associated with fielding all new technology and an unproven system?

Does PTMS modernization and an engine core upgrade provide the necessary capabilities for Block 4 aircraft?

What are the long-term impacts if an engine core upgrade is not fully funded for the F-35A in FY24?

The FY24 budget requests $254.685 million for F-35A F135 Engine Modernization.

The decision by the Air Force in terms of funding ECU is, you know, a pretty powerful statement to Congress.

And it is good news to see in the report that the deliveries are going to be basically caught up by May 1.

If we're talking about, you know, protecting the currency of this country, which is a very valid concern because China would like to take over as the dominant currency, allowing this country to sleepwalk into a full default is the quickest…

The approaching default, in terms of the full faith and credit of our paper.

If we continue to rack up our debt--because as you know, Congresswoman, we're up to--we're headed to 50 trillion dollars in debt in less than 10 years.

It's a security crisis. It's an economic crisis.

There's a skills gap that is definitely holding people back

If we really want to do something to help this country, is we need to fix this problem

Using the lever of default as a way of basically, you know, putting this country at gunpoint, in terms of having to adopt policies that fall outside the appropriations process and the authorizing process, is again another recipe for again…

Simply put-even in the face of rising interest rates-Americans are back to work and businesses are thriving, thanks to the Biden-Harris administration's economic agenda.
