If something is telling you 80 percent of the time wrong information, it is suspect. Right?

Despite this critical need, that does not mean that this program should be rubber-stamped.

I understand the substantial investment in the F-35 is more about the requirement for fifth-generation tactical fighter capability than it is about the F-35 itself.

The F-35 is a complex program. It is well known that, during its development, the F-35 program has experienced significant cost, schedule, and performance problems.

My concern is not an academic one. My concern was--because human error is human error--it is not searchable if someone makes a typographical error.

Please discuss your current modernization programs for Army National Guard aviation, specifically, can you provide additional details for converting UH-60A Black Hawks to the UH-60L configuration?

I understand FY16 is the final year for procurement of the Excalibur precision guided artillery round, and that technically the Army will be short of its war stock requirement for Excalibur rounds.

Please provide some concrete examples of how major defense acquisition programs would be impacted in FY16?

What is the status of that waiver? Please speak to some of the operational and programmatic impacts you could face if the Army is only allowed to transfer 48 Apache helicopters in FY16?

The FY16 budget request assumes the Army is allowed to transfer 96 National Guard Apache helicopters to the active component.

What are your thoughts on using the OCO request to offset sequestration? How would this help to mitigate the impacts on modernization programs?

The protection of our national defense and of the security of the American people must come first.

We either make smart, targeted investments now, or we pay for that as failure on down the road.

With only 420,000 troops remaining, the Army would be substantially smaller than it was on 9/11.

We can lose, people will die, and people will be injured?

When a brigade combat team, or BCT--which is the essential building block of the Army's combat power--isn't ready, and the Army isn't ready to fight, but they go to fight, ... doesn't this mean that more people will get injured or killed?

The more we talk in this room about the effects of sequestration, the less we win, right?

The objectives in the 2002 resolution remain: protecting both United States and Iraqi minority groups as well as ending terrorism in Iraq.

One of the things that we are being asked to do is to repeal the 2002 authorization for the use of military force.

The truth is under START we cut our deployed nuclear weapons, they don't.

Thank you for the clarity.

Could you please tell me why the President of the United States refuses to acknowledge that Ukraine has been invaded by Russia, when they have invasion forces on the ground?

During the New START negotiations with the United States, Russia was, at that time, in violation of the INF treaty.

You canceled Phase 4 of the Phased Adaptive Approach.

I mean, this is your professional responsibility to recall.
