As Representative Davis reminded us, this is almost quadrupling. But let's face it, it is from a relatively low baseline.

Our European allies are only spending about 1.4 percent of their GDP, well under the NATO goal of 2 percent.

This is the time for us all on this committee to make certain that our voices are heard to the other Members... so that hopefully we can get more resources.

It is the budget battle time.

But with respect to this breach, the standard is higher, correct? I mean, you are preserving a wider breadth of records and putting a greater effort on their preservation?

As a member of the Bipartisan Task Force to Combat the Heroin Epidemic, I would like to thank our co-chairs for arranging this special order to discuss the faces of heroin and opiate addiction. The faces of heroin and opiate addiction are…

we will have to get back to you exactly with respect to how it was--with respect to the device.

I think that you probably clearly understand that my question is not necessarily the status of the device but the status of information that was on the device that is supposed to be turned over to the committee.

my expectation would be that OPM has it, and my second expectation would be that you are going to turn it over to this committee.

the expectation would be that the preservation order and your processes as a result of the cyber attack would have required that you preserve this information.

we are looking forward to an affirmative response from you.

I serve on the Intelligence Committee, as well as the Oversight Committee, and as a result of that, I have been following the role of CyTech in both discovering or confirming the OPM breach.

You have made statements here in your written statement that their footprint is shrinking, has been shrunk.

I think it is a troubling system, sir. There is no question about it.

There have been allegations that intelligence officials at CENTCOM have skewed findings on the ISIS war.

I personally believe, I think as many do, that not only do we not really have a strategy, but you can't have a strategy unless it is based on an accurate picture of what is happening and the threat that we have.

You say that we are gathering momentum and their footprint has shrunk, well, General Dunford sitting next to you has admitted that ISIL is not contained.

I urge my colleagues to vote for this amendment because it does correct an injustice.

I don't see anybody in the region now who could actually step in and do that job.

The Fiscal Year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act included a legislative provision that limits F-35 procurement until the Secretary of the Air Force certifies that F-35A's delivered during FY2018 will have full Block 3F capability.

At our hearing in mid-April, General Bogdan reported improvement in aircraft availability rates to around 55 percent, and improvement in the aircraft's mission capability rate to about 65-70 percent.

We will continue to hold this program accountable and provide oversight, not just because there are issues or problems that have arisen, which there are, but because this program is so incredibly important.

The committee is concerned that the Follow-on Development program requirements are unbridled and will evolve into the magnitude of the current System Development and Demonstration.

I appreciate that we continuously ask that question.

We are now operating under a continuing resolution. What are the impacts of this and what would the impacts be if we have a yearlong CR?
