Kelly Ayotte

So, one of the things I'm hearing from my constituents is that, because of the new hours of service rule, they actually are going to have to put more trucks on the road during the daytime hours, which are the highest crash times.

Under this rule, we are going to have more drivers driving during daytime hours. Isn't that true?

You think that's a large enough sample to draw conclusions? That's my question.

It is with a heavy heart that I rise today to honor the life and legacy of Officer Stephen Arkell, a member of the Brentwood Police Department who was tragically killed last night in the line of duty. Citizens across New Hampshire are…

It is $11 billion. It is a huge IT acquisition and it makes me very concerned.

I agree fully with the comments of Senator Coburn and how important this is.

I believe that this audit issue is incredibly important, and the fact that we are now diminished from a Statement of Budgetary Resources...

I don't find away from home, myself, is as healthy as being at home.

I want to, first of all, thank the Chairman and Ranking Member for holding such an incredibly important hearing.

I would also like to see the analysis that was done in terms of the impact on the economy to the people who will be impacted not only all of the independent truckers, the small businesses, but as well as the businesses that they serve who…

Getting home has always been an issue for truck drivers.

And I wanted to submit that issue to you for the record for you to comment.

I'm hearing a huge amount of feedback on this. I have legislation I filed on it, of these rules having an impact on productivity in a negative way.

I would be honored if you would consider coming to New Hampshire and perhaps joining both the New Hampshire and Maine delegations to see this bridge.

Let us be clear. The F-16 is not the equivalent of the A-10 when it comes to the CAS mission on the ground. Is it?

America's national security interests are aligned with an independent, sovereign and stable Ukraine, firmly committed to democracy and respect for human rights, minorities, and the rule of law.

Our continued desire is that Russia will move its forces back to garrison and cease such destabilizing activities on Ukraine's border.

Limited lethal assistance at this stage would not deter Russia.

Well, it seems to me when I think about what the men and women in uniform on the ground have told me when I visited Afghanistan, we should be able to afford what they believe is the best CAS platform.

I do not object to review or recommendations regarding retired pay for general and flag officers.

I appreciate that. I just think it is important for us to understand in the buying power dollars because that is how families operate.

In your professional military judgment, is it in America's national security interests to deter a Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine and to do all we can to help Ukraine protect its territorial integrity and sovereignty?

President Putin's ultimate objectives for Ukraine are unknown.

Admiral Greenert, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA) estimates that the family of an E-5 would experience a loss of nearly $5,000 in purchasing power annually if the current military compensation proposals are enacted.

I appreciate you have a challenging position but very important leadership position for the country.
