Well, that is exactly the experience of the Air Force and to some extent the Navy of doing R&D while you are building.

The first requirement would be that the requirements be expressed in no more than 10 pages.

I agree with you that it's no way to govern, and we shouldn't be even thinking about a further continuing resolution for the rest of the year.

I think it's one of the most important that we have, that the Air Force and the government is undertaking.

Practicality and buildability is part of the requirements process.

I hope that you'll keep in touch with the committee on that project as it moves forward.

But all of those are defensive. I am running out of time, but we need a cyber doctrine in connection with our Western allies that involves an offensive capability as well, do we not?

I think one of the most profound books about foreign policy, which I recently reread, is 'The Guns of August.'

Is it not critical in that piece to have open lines of communications?

The arms race economics does not work in this situation.

One of the problems is that what we view as defensive, the other side can view as provocative.

The threats facing the U.S., as the chairman alluded, are complex and multifaceted.

We have to use our imagination to realize that if they set out to destabilize Western values, they have done it without firing a shot, and that has got to be part of our strategy.

The full spectrum of conflicts our armed forces must be prepared to face in the coming decades requires new warfighting concepts.

That is a shocking statement that we have got to do something about.

Clearly work on procurement is an important issue.

That is a terrifying statement because what you are saying is the hotbed of technological development in this country is largely out of bounds for the Department of Defense.

Russia, I would argue, has achieved an extraordinary success in the last several years if they set out to destabilize the West and undermine Western democratic values.

I suspect one of the most intelligent people ever to serve in the United States armed forces was Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain of Maine who spoke 10 languages, was a college professor, and one of the most successful leaders, of course, at…

Somebody once said--I think it was after September 11th, one of the conclusions was our response was a failure of imagination.

He or she, Colonel. He or she. That is not a question. That is a statement.

This is an indication to me of a serious cultural problem that goes beyond the specifics of orders.

And let's be clear, nobody here is advocating abandoning regulation or giving a free pass to any project.

Beyond this posting and being dumb about what they put online is the underlying--these guys apparently did not feel that they were doing anything wrong.

I am really worried about grid vulnerability to cyberattack. Ukraine was a warning shot. How many warning shots do we need?
