How does the Air Force save money by moving a squadron from Keesler?

Will the new 913th Airlift Group require the movement or hiring of additional military and civilian employees?

Will it be more cost-efficient to maintain the two C-310J squadrons at Keesler Air Force Base?

Do you believe the value of the RCTA program warrants authorization by Congress?

It would be fair to say that a relatively modest investment will keep these invaluable programs open and available for these hundreds of thousands of participants?

I was disappointed to learn that President Obama's budget request contains zero funding for these schools.

Experience over the past decade demonstrates that the demand for amphibious warships will not decrease.

It just concerns me a bit, as I look at what is going on now with some of our European allies, countries that have relied, to their detriment, on promises that we have made about the integrity of their territory.

Deterrence is intrinsically linked to readiness. To provide deterrence, our military's capability must be tangible and demonstrable.

I am deeply concerned about the administration's budget request that it may not provide the full range of equipment and ready forces necessary to our national security strategy in the Asia-Pacific region.

But that does not give them any right whatsoever to occupy that part of the Crimean peninsula that is not on the base.

I think that is an unacceptable position for the United States to take.

The Russian position, no one in the world believes it, is that these are not Russian troops which have occupied Crimea.

There's been some publicity about a letter that Senator Ayotte and I wrote to you on February 20, 2014.

Bipartisanship is breaking out all over in the Congress. It continues today and as we debate Federal transportation reauthorization, I hope we can build on this success.

Funding transportation infrastructure is a combined Federal and State responsibility. We need to do better, because the Nation deserves better, as Senator Merkley said.

We need to ensure that all users shoulder an equitable burden for the wear and tear on our Nation's roads.

The key thing we're interested in and most concerned about is the more highly enriched uranium--the 20 percent enriched uranium.

Would you agree that economic sanctions imposed by the United States played a major role in driving Iran to the negotiating table and agreeing to the JPA?

Is Iran negotiating in large part because it desperately needs sanctions relief?

What alternatives do they have? And what could tip the balance away from them choosing to invest further in United States securities?

If the economy improves as you expect it to, the $221 billion we pay each year in interest on the national debt, that will double.

We have a national debt of $17 trillion. How much of that does China hold?

What should we worry about? Do you worry about the $17 trillion?
