Madeleine Bordallo: “Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. First, I would like to go on record to thank Secretary Mattis and General Dunford.”

I have long stated that just as important as it is to provide our service members with new, modernized equipment, we must fully maintain the assets that we already have.

I am confident that there is bipartisan support among the Committee for offshore wind, which would improve self-reliance and lower electricity costs in the territories.

I am concerned that the Army is standing up a four-star organization with up to three lieutenant generals as deputies without a clearly defined command relationship.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And I hope you don't extract this from my 5 minutes, but there is a native of Guam in the audience today, and I am very proud of her.
