Let's not be so in a hurry to prove that we are right with this F-35 that we would jeopardize any pilot from anywhere.

GAO and others continue to raise concerns about the long term affordability of the F-35 acquisition program.

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.

Your latest annual report raises concerns about the progress of the program in meeting some of its key reliability requirements.

I want to commend Chairman Price for the work that he has done. The chairmanship of the Budget Committee is one of the most difficult. He has a 360-degree responsibility of all aspects of funding the Federal Government, balancing our…

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

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?

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?

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

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

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?

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

You canceled Phase 4 of the Phased Adaptive Approach.

Thank you for the clarity.

U.S. natural gas exports will create American jobs and will bolster our strategic partnerships. I serve as president of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, and many foreign leaders and officials have expressed to me their need for energy…
