The cuts proposed in the 2011 President's budget are so puzzling, so puzzling to me.

Cyberspace was another one. You just glibly said we are going to hire 1,000 people.

The Department promised me information on management integration initiatives with action plans and milestones.

The other one, of course, is the one I asked about last year, and that is there is a request for $3.6 billion in emergency supplemental appropriations for fiscal year 2010.

we need to level with the American people about the commitment that we're going to have to make to be successful in Afghanistan.

That's not just chicken feed; that's $71 million.

we need to level with the American people and the world about what kind of commitment we're going to have to make to be successful in Afghanistan.

Now, the question is, if you did one of them would you stick with the proposal that you have about shutting down the five we've got in the Great Lakes and having the two?

So up in like Lake Erie you've got one in Marblehead.

So you're all set in that regard.

Can you guarantee me and the chairman... whether or not next year you are going to be in here with a supplemental because you underfunded this budget for fiscal year 2011 in terms of dealing with all natural disasters?

I support Governor Joe Manchin's request for Federal assistance in response to the December snowstorm.
