The commitment to the B-21 is a commitment to the long-range viability of that capability for now into the future.

Well, I am concerned because of threats. You know, we certainly have been threatened in our area.

The BCA says that it is twice as expensive to not have a dry dock than to have one on Guam.

While I share some of the concerns that my colleagues are voicing about resource allocation in the fiscal year 2018 Navy budget proposal, I am pleased to see an effort to rebuild the readiness.

I want to see that we have everything we need, and that is a full-scale dry dock on Guam.

I don't accept it as a new normal, Congresswoman. I think, candidly, failure to pass a budget... constitutes professional malpractice.

she is looking forward to seeing the Marine realignment to Guam continue forward without delay.

I would also like to note my appreciation that each component of the Air Force is represented today.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And thank you to the witnesses for being here this afternoon.

However, the Air Force is unique in that the demand for its units has increased in recent years while the service has shrank.

While some challenges, such as critical skills shortages, affect each component, they do so differently.
