It makes little sense to be shrinking our Navy just months after the announcement of a strategy that would shift emphasis to Asia.
On rollcall Nos. 519, 520, 521, 522, 523, 524, 525, 526, 527, 528, 529, 530, 531, 532, 533, 534, 535, and 536, I was delayed and unable to vote. Had I been present I would have voted ``aye'' on rollcall No. 519, ``no'' on rollcall No. 520…
