But what was the mechanism that didn't work to stop this further back before they went all the way through the submission phase?

I like to refer to Reagan. We will trust, but we want to verify before we start doing this.

Well, I think what we will stipulate, we all know we aren't where we want to be.

Democracy takes time, and certainly we just went through some of that.

We understand the dollars and cents, but the direction is the important one, that we are investing and we are now measuring that investment, that it was the right way.

Good morning. We will come to order.

What can we do 81 years later as a Congress to enable you to achieve the diversity, not just for the sake of the diversity, but to enable you and our Nation to meet the readiness needs and the challenges that are faced by a shortfall in…

Today, there are only 47 African Americans who fly fixed wing in the Air Force. That is 1.5 percent.

There is not a combatant commander that we have a discussion with, there is virtually nobody we deal with, day to day, who doesn't need more.

Thank you so much for your service over the years, and we particularly appreciate your frankness when you address so many of our tough questions.

I am also very excited that your successor, who has been nominated by the President, I am confident will be confirmed by the Senate, General Charles Brown, the first African-American Chief of Staff not only for the Air Force but of any…

It really changes fundamentally. We keep talking about it, and two ships doesn't do it.

Buy some used vessels quickly, and then really work hard on this CHAMP [Common Hull Auxiliary Multi-Mission Platform] or whatever program we need to do to get numbers out there greater than onesie, twosies.

We need each of those in our society and most importantly, we need to value them equally.

The narrative that somehow in order to make it in this world you have to go to a 4-year degree is something that we are hearing today over and over.

There are 214 lawyers in Congress and only one electrician, and you are looking at him.

Thank you. General Milley, Secretary Esper, thank you for coming in today.

I think General Lyons is going to come to me, probably the Chairman, and make some recommendations as to maybe we should not retire some 10s or some 135s until we get a better assessment of what--how long it will take to get that fix in…

The idea of creating potential havoc when we work well together just seems rather crazy.

Fake news. Don't believe it. Just ask the people what they want to do. Close to 80 percent of those in the workplace would vote today to join a union, if they were allowed to under a fair process. That doesn't happen. Mr. Chairman, I yield…

Back on December 18, the Trump NLRB issued a dramatic rewrite of the union election procedures, thus undermining the streamlining efficiency of the original 2014 election rule. However, even in the NLRB by Trump, the new rule left this…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: On page 19, line 15, insert ``and shall continue from day to day until completed'' after ``organization''…

Right up the road from where I live in New Jersey, there is a woman, Rosalie Simon, a Holocaust survivor, who settled there right after World War II. She returned this past week to Auschwitz for the first time since she was a prisoner…
