I am concerned that the President's rhetoric and actions weaken our alliances, undermining American leadership while creating a power vacuum in the region that China and Russia appear eager to fill.

I am concerned that the 2019 budget request may not appropriately balance long-term readiness recovery through modernization with near-term efforts through sustainment and maintenance.
I am working very closely with Mr. Young, and he is very knowledgeable person, the Dean of Congress right now.
Without properly maintained ships, submarines, aircraft, and weapon systems, our forces cannot perform necessary training required to build readiness or meet the operational requirements that are placed upon them.
In my opinion, it would be a great savings, because right now we are bringing them in from the States.
