Our shipyards are old. They're small. They can't handle the fleet of today, much less the fleet of tomorrow.

I would encourage you--I would demand that you get to the bottom of what is going on in the force.

I think you'll see certainly support from this foxhole.

I cannot think of anything more divisive and more destructive to unit morale.

We need to understand our past.

The Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program (SIOP) is intended to modernize our aging shipyards.

Should this be handed off if it's coming externally and should you--do you believe you have the authority if we have the political will, if you're given the instruction, to take military action against these groups?

I don't think many American people see a big distinction if the interface or the control center for a pipeline is taken out from a missile, sabotage, or cyber.

I think you're getting at precisely what I'm questioning, and it's that dynamic of who has the lead within the U.S. Government.

We need to make sure we don't repeat those mistakes.

I think the question before us is how do we spur regional innovation to ensure all Americans have the opportunity to participate in the innovation economy?

This strategy will help the U.S. remain competitive on a global scale, and stay a leader in cross-cutting innovation.

One of the reasons that... I think that pipeline is very dangerous is because it is carrying the dirtiest form of natural gas on earth.

I think there's an established pattern that if Putin wanted to stop these attacks, he certainly could.

What level of engagement did you have--what type of engagement do you have with our European allies on the lifting of sanctions on Nord Stream?

Time truly is of the essence here. It's imperative that we modernize these defenses and get ahead of our adversaries.

The recent SolarWinds, Microsoft Exchange, and Colonial Pipeline incidents make it clear that the United States is continuously being targeted with malicious cyber-attacks.

I am convinced that a lot of that is a byproduct of us moving now generations away from service.

Everyone should have the opportunity to serve, but not everyone can afford to deviate from the traditional employment pathways.

I urge my colleagues to support these measures.

Since 1904, Bethune-Cookman University, a historically Black college, has contributed to a rich, diverse history in my district in Florida. Four thousand students proudly call this university home. In Florida's Sixth Congressional…

I think we need to take--continue to take a hard look at what our measure of success here, if it is avoiding casualties or if it's protecting the homeland.

we need an evacuation plan and time is of the essence.

these folks--these people who have stood with us are being hunted down as we speak. They are being executed.

I think we are going to be accountable the next time we have an attack like Pulse Nightclub or San Bernardino.
