Would you say that one of the areas that we need to continue to focus on is the Futenma situation in Okinawa?

I think that's a very important strategy--for us to pursue energy, lessening the energy usage in DOD.

I know that this committee has had numerous hearings on how we can facilitate and ensure that movement of marines happens in a way that is of benefit to both of our countries, not to mention what we need to do regarding Guam.

I hope that means that you will continue to support the efforts to modernize that shipyard so that they can conduct the kind of highly technical work that they do there.

Thank you for your quick action in changing the UCMJ regarding the convening authority's right to overturn decisions.

I would welcome your thoughts on the facility as we go forward in these economically constrained times.

We should not get tunnel vision and forget the human element of immigration.

This is no way for us to fix this broken system.

We are confronted with a broken immigration system, with 11 million undocumented people in our country.
