Do you believe that we're doing all we need to do in order to ensure that the remaining troops are secure?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

One of the issues that we've done in North Carolina is to take the transfat out of the school lunches.

I think the Community Care program which we'll be hearing about is a model that I'm hoping that the rest of the country will take serious note of.

We have to focus on this more aggressively.

These issues have to be addressed now.

How do you plan on interacting with China to accomplish mutual objectives given the communication constraints?

I think we have to take advantage of that.

I understand that we are slow in getting the civilian numbers up and going, and obviously, it has to be secure in order to do that.

The people of North Carolina are very pleased about the results of the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission.

I truly hope to be able to provide the support and advocacy that the many North Carolina men and women in our Armed Forces deserve.
