Mike Turner

The A-10 was the best decision to make, even though nobody likes the result of that decision.

I opposed sequestration because I thought it would be irresponsible and devastating to our military.

What scenarios are at greatest risk with the reduction of 334 fighters?

I am confident in the F-35 JPO estimate for O&S costs.

To the extent that our subcommittee may help in trying to communicate some of the issues of the advantages of the F-35 and foreign acquisition decisionmaking, please let us know.

The concerns about the warfighting capabilities to the Marine Corps by July 2015.

The risk that you don't get the software completed, that you don't get full capability, and I think there still is risk in that area.

But my opening remarks will focus on the F-35 and budget reductions in the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force budget requests.

Our hearing today will consist of two panels. In the first panel, we will hear testimony on the F-35 program...

I want to apologize for being late. I was doing the important people's work of being on the House floor congratulating the University of Dayton...

Turner, Hon. Michael R., a Representative from Ohio, Chairman, Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces.

The Army continues to face an uncertain fiscal environment in the years ahead.

I have a bill which has been included in the NDAA for several years that would eliminate deployment as a basis for removal.

Our goal is to reduce and ultimately eliminate this crime from our ranks.

I think anybody who has had any of the classified briefings on this know that the threat is there, the timing is now, and the dollars need to be placed there by this Congress.

The ballistic missile threat to the United States or our allies and partners, and to our forces overseas, is evolving.

The budget request for missile defense represents the smallest missile defense budget request since Bill Clinton was President.

I believe our chairman cited the Washington Post's March 2nd editorial that had the heading 'President Obama's Foreign Policy is Based on Fantasy.'

Certainly any issues with respect to disarming the United States should be held in context to the threats that we have.

The cuts that you are doing are devastating to the Air Force. They are wrong.

Any issues with respect to disarming the United States should be held in context to the threats that we have.

The Marines are going down to 175,000 force.

The Army back to smallest it has been since World War II.

The Navy is going back to the size it was in World War I.

The Air Force will be the smallest it has ever been.
