Just for the record. Thank you.

We would look to retire our least capable C-5s.

everything would be on the table, the entitlements and the expiring tax cuts.

When you say C-5Ms, do you mean C-5Bs or--

We would realize a savings if we retired with 2 years the 22 C-5As.

I thought that was a very compelling argument. I think we will find out maybe later this year how compelling our colleagues find that argument to be.

If confirmed, you are going to be responsible for leading a workforce, I think, of over 50,000 security officers, inspectors, and air marshals whose job it is to protect our Nation's transportation systems from criminal and terrorism…

I would enhance those efforts.

This fund will be administered by Ken Feinberg, who oversaw the September 11, 2001, victim compensation fund.

They were appointed by Admiral Allen, and this team has been working hard to oversee BP's claims process on behalf of the Federal Government and the American people.

What instructions has the White House given you about how this newly created independent trust fund might interact with your office and with the current claims process being led by BP?
