I will oppose any initiative that seeks to undermine the preeminence of our military, I will oppose any effort that breaks faith with our service members and veterans, and I will oppose any effort that seeks to diminish the capabilities of our naval forces.
Bordallo expresses strong opposition to military budget cuts affecting readiness and capabilities.

I am very pleased that the Subcommittee is hearing testimony on H.R. 1456, which is the Shark Fin Sales Elimination Act, sponsored by Congressman Royce who testified earlier.
The science is very clear. We are facing a startling decline in shark species and populations worldwide.
The Shark Conservation Act definitively banned the brutal practice of shark finning in all U.S. waters and the possession abroad of illegally taken shark fins at sea.
I am concerned that the fiscal year 2019 budget request fails to properly resource the accounts that help address these shortfalls.
