If we do not know it, we cannot change it. You have to come to us and let us know how we can be helpful.

We owe it to the taxpayer, we owe it to our national security, to get these costs down to a place that we can get the full range of response that we need.

we need a very strong response to their interference in Ukraine, what they're doing in Syria, the attack on democratic electoral systems here in the United States and around the globe

I have to say, I am really glad that you are thinking about this and you think about the ways that you can integrate.

we don't have to agree on everything to agree that nuclear proliferation is bad and that we want to work together to stop it

Thank you very much, Madam Chair. Thank you all for being here.

I hope that members of the Senate Aging Committee will take a very close look at this.

Despite our differences, which are many, Russia and the United States both want to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

In 2014, the Russians terminated much of our bilateral nuclear security cooperation.

So despite the fact that our population is getting older, as the Chair pointed out, the changing demographics in the country, and that we already have severe housing affordability crisis for seniors, Congress has not seriously funded new…

But how do you see the costs when seniors cannot afford housing?

Please provide the results of that review to the committee.

So when General Hyten says this is a top priority for me, you are all on board for that.

The commercial sector seems to be charging ahead in space.

I want to make sure we get our plug in too for Massachusetts.

It seems to me that a high-low mix of advanced and more basic capabilities in our satellite inventory would be a good way to think about it.

the Nuclear Command, Control, and Communication system (NC3) is critical to ensuring communication if the United States is under a nuclear attack, but it requires significant modernization.

Our satellite programs are incredibly complex. They are also incredibly expensive.

I am in very close cahoots with my dear friend Ellen Pawlikowski, who is the Commander of Air Force Materiel Command.

If you are confirmed to this job, we are going to expect you to be tough on Russia.

I remain concerned that Russian influence could cause President Trump to roll back these sanctions.

Should we roll back our existing Russia sanctions without meaningful changes in Russia's behavior?

Russia's behavior has not changed.
