I expect that report to be submitted really before this process on nominations go forward.

I watched with the rest of the world last year when Russia launched cruise missiles with conventional warheads into Syria from long-range heavy bombers, both from surface ships and submarines.

I wanted to reiterate my agreement with Senator Shaheen on, where you can, to restart recovery operations for those Missing in Action in North Korea.

I just want to make sure that that is in the record, because having certainly had the opportunity to know General Odierno, we know he is one of the finest generals to serve our Nation.

Do you agree it would have at least been helpful to say to SIGAR we think there is a huge problem with this number and we are going to have a financial analysis done on it?

Why could they have not stayed on base? Why was that decision made? Why is it justifiable for 20 percent of the money allocated for economic development for that purpose?

Well, it just seems to me as a DOD task force, $150 million, this is very important question.

I am personally skeptical of the Department of Defense as a natural home for [economic development during a contingency operation].

Please provide a list of all TFBSO contracts and all available details on how all $638 million was disbursed.

We are not giving up on standing up against their malign behavior.

So did we keep metrics or anything like that for this task force?

Do you think that was a wise use of taxpayer dollars?
