"I commend you for being so forthcoming to many of us in your efforts to combat sexual assault in the Air Force."

"I want to commend the Air Force on a very well-structured request for proposal (RFP) that emphasized the best capability and the lowest operating cost for the taxpayers."

"In the U.S. military, in DOD over the last 5 years, there have been five sexual assault cases where a convening authority has reversed the decision."

"I want to join my colleagues, Secretary Donley, in thanking you for your excellent service to our Nation."
