That is a shortfall in the report, maybe.

The program gets funded year after year without anyone having an idea if these dollars are being used effectively.

We should restrict funding to the top cities that face the threats.

We have $150 million in unobligated funds from the 2009 budget.

We must not allow enthusiasm for quantitative nuclear reductions to degrade the flexibility and resilience of our forces.

It is a very good airplane. When do we have enough of them?

The Centers of Excellence were intended to be joint DOD-VA ventures.

The July 2010 Compliance Report states that the United States is unable to ascertain whether Russia's CWC declaration is complete.

Is it correct that the plan for the PAA to missile defense in Europe includes all four phases?

I believe that the New START treaty is focused on the strategic forces of both sides.

The Preamble of the treaty contains a statement acknowledging the interrelationship of strategic offensive and strategic defensive arms.

Russia made a unilateral statement concerning missile defense to accompany the New START.

It's not a limitation on us; it's a possible addition to the capability of our anti-ballistic missile system.

I would hope that we would treat these kind of unilateral declarations the same with the current administration, as was the case with the first President Bush.

The New START that is before us today is an important treaty that will, as Admiral Mullen said earlier this month, make our Nation more secure and advance our core national security interests.

I also very much support a long-term relationship with Afghanistan, both security relationship and economic and political relationship.

I believe that deeply. I think that's an inherent part of counterinsurgency that that happen, and the support of the ANA by the Afghan people is there and it is going to make a huge difference in terms of success.

The reason why both the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) and the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) reduced the $1.1 billion to $800 million in Afghanistan was because you're on track in Afghanistan to spend only $200 million for…

Success in Kandahar will be more likely with Afghan troops in the lead.

If the Afghan Government and people demonstrate a willingness to fight and assume increasing responsibility for their security and affairs, then the American people will be steadfast partners in that endeavor.

The Afghan Government and people need to demonstrate a sense of urgency and commitment to succeed in building a lasting peace in Afghanistan.

I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to pass this legislation so that we can preserve this site for future visitors.

I do not see how our government can allow any new deep-water wells to be permitted and drilled.

I happen to be one that believes in a free market. But if it is going to be truly free, it cannot be designed for just a few people to reap enormous benefits while passing the risks on to the rest of us.

It must be free of deception. It has got to be free of conflicts of interest. It needs a cop on the beat and it has got to get back on Wall Street.
