We're going to have your back on this as we go through this. It's not going to be easy, but we're going to work hard to do it right.

We are spending too much money in Washington. I don't think there's any disagreement about that.

One thing the Constitution is very clear about is that it is the role of Congress to provide for the national security of Americans.

It's a foolish way to reduce spending--to tell every aspect of the federal government, 'You don't have a choice.'

I would simply ask--if someone like Abu Ghaith will not be held in military custody for interrogation purposes, then who will be?

I firmly believe this administration's refusal to place new detainees at Guantanamo Bay is hurting our ability to collect intelligence.

I'm concerned again if we don't get this straightened out so we can at least see a straight path forward.

I hope you will keep this committee informed of what you do intend to do there because, obviously, that was a lot of money to be spent.

Their morale is, I think, on the downswing.

I was not a proponent of the START Treaty, primarily because it did not address tactical nuclear weapons.

I think it can be fixed by some political agreements and other things between the parties there.
