I seek clarification of the language in paragraph 2. It says: The President shall seek immediately the agreement of NATO allies to terminate the international arms embargo * * * My question to you is: If the President fails to get such an agreement, does this resolution then say we stop? The next sentence raises the inference that we proceed, with or without such an agreement: In accordance with administration policy, following such consultations, the President shall promptly propose or support a resolution * * * My question is: If you do not get agreement, does this resolution stop there? Because I wholeheartedly support your thesis that this Nation must act in concert with its allies today and, equally important, tomorrow.

It is a moving experience for me to reenter this room. I served on this committee for 30 years.
Judging from my own experience, these four resumes constitute an extraordinary body of knowledge needed in these respective positions and needed by our country at a critical time.
I also thought it was extraordinarily important you pointed out that just as it is incumbent upon our military to continue to develop next generation weapons that it's been the legacy of our military forces to always be about innovation.
You will carry with you for the rest of your life the recollections of the work that you have done for one of America's most valued assets, the men and the women and their families of the armed services of the United States.
