Would the American people be well served by more information about this threat so that they do appreciate what the facts are?

I want to focus on Iran.

These are the first instances of such flights since 2015.

I can't tell you how upset I was when I pulled the RFF and shortly thereafter was told there would be a delay in the program. That's just unacceptable to me.

How can we best protect our troops and allies from these deployed missiles without escalating the situation?

I am somewhat surprised that they are carrying out an essential national security and defense mission; they are under attack, just as they would be as if they were conducting a convoy in Afghanistan; and the Department of Defense is not…

I think we have to contest their revolutionary ideology, and it is not just the United States, but it has to be those in the region.

The combat rescue helicopter...has been responsible for saving 12,000 lives--12,000 lives.

I hope that you will support efforts to increase the funding necessary for apprenticeship and training and other such skill-enhancement programs.

Potential adversary submarine activity has tripled from 2008 levels--tripled--requiring a corresponding increase of U.S. activity to maintain undersea superiority.

Nothing that is changing their behavior, and clearly nothing that will change their behavior in the future because, to quote you or paraphrase you, they have more to gain than to lose by continuing this kind of attack.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Calling for the Appointment of a Special Prosecutor

Admiral Tidd, are you working to build the capacity of regional allies to address Hezbollah's malign activities?

How does Russia's violation of the INF Treaty impact efforts to renew New START?

If there is any slippage, will you commit to reporting to this committee as soon as there is any indication--I mean, any indication--that that schedule may at all be delayed again?

I have written a bipartisan letter along with a number of my colleagues to the appropriators, asking for an additional $327 million to fully fund the 60 helicopters that are necessary to reach the state of readiness for our National Guard…

How many F-35s would you ideally procure to meet our defense needs?

Without a cyber strategy, there can be no cyber policy.

But unless they are made to pay a price as well, the Russians will be enabled and encouraged in the future.
