You stated the mission of DOD is to 'deter adversaries and assure allies.'

I have been a strong supporter of DOD depots throughout my time in Congress, in particular to ensure we maintain the proper balance between organic depot maintenance and private sector workloads.

The possibility of sequestration along with the year-long CR will severely affect our ability to conduct maintenance in the coming year.

What is the duration of the relief request?

Our vigilance must not waver.

I take that as a very weak response and reaction to this incident.

If confirmed as the next director, it will be your responsibility to lead the CIA as our nation continues to face significant national security challenges.

looking back at it, of course it looks like it should have been crystal clear that there was an attack imminent.

While we've heard a lot in recent months about al-Qa'ida being decimated and on the run, it is by no means destroyed.

I expect this commitment to actually be born out and practiced, regardless of political pressures.

How do you ensure the interagency process works to coordinate effectively the whole of U.S. Government resources in order to provide adequate security at our diplomatic missions in high-threat/high-risk areas?
