We have got at least 25 percent of unneeded infrastructure in the Department of Defense. If we can't get Congress to allow us to close it, we are simply going to waste taxpayers' dollars.
This subcommittee's support is essential if America's Armed Forces are to have the infrastructure and facilities needed to carry out their missions.
The most important reason that we need to do this, to achieve auditable financial statements, is public confidence.
We strongly hope the Congress will pass this plan or another plan supported by President and repeal sequestration.
