I can assure you, Senator, that any commitments we made, in contracting or anything else, we will follow the law clearly and consult with Congress.
If Congress blocks these changes without adjusting current budget caps, or if sequestration remains the law, it will jeopardize the readiness and capability of our armed forces.
Climate change does not directly cause conflict, but it can significantly add to the challenges of global instability, hunger, poverty, and conflict.
