I do not want, a year from now, to have you come in and testify and say, I am sorry, but we do not have the resources to get the job done.
I think it is extremely important that we honor these folks that have made a difference for us.
I have worked tirelessly on that National Security Personnel System (NSPS) to improve performance in the Department of Defense (DOD).
One of the things that Senator Akaka and I worked on was the issue of annual leave tied solely to the employee's years of Federal employment...
What percentage of these department budgets are being used for training?
Senator Akaka and I are very interested in giving you the resources that you need to get the job done.
Thank you.
I want to congratulate all of you on what I refer to as the Obama doctrine, and that is smart power.
I am pleased to see President Obama's commitment to make this the last planned war supplemental.
This increase in supplemental spending is outrageous when you considered our long-term fiscal outlook.
How can we continue to be Uncle Sugar to the world?
