Madeleine Bordallo: “I applaud the efforts led by Congressman Loebsack and Congressman Hunter to restore the force structure cuts to the Air…”

I am concerned that in a year where readiness has been cited as the Department's top priority, the Department's budget request falls well short of meeting the total depot maintenance requirement for the Army and the Marine Corps.

I think it is fair to ask if the Army is, in fact, just creating more overhead that will further slow an already cumbersome process.

The cost of electricity for Puerto Rico residents is nearly twice the national average, while at the same time their GDP per capita and median household income are just half that of the mainland United States.

I look forward to hearing how you believe it will be different this time.
