Mike Turner

I do believe that it is nonresponsive and ambiguous in many key respects of the questions that we had asked.

Tests show LightSquared's signal causes significant interference to military GPS.

The Armed Services Committee's position, as articulated by the Turner-Sanchez amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of fiscal year 2012, is that the Federal Communications Commission should not grant LightSquared final…

As a Member of Congress I can think of no higher responsibility than making sure our U.S. military forces are fully trained and equipped before they are deployed overseas to Afghanistan, Iraq, or any place in harm's way.

We cannot afford to have Federal telecommunications policy, especially where it affects national security, to be made in the same way that the White House has parceled out a half billion dollars in loan guarantees to the failed Solyndra…

Personally, I believe this is an absolute effort by the chairman to avoid the oversight questions by Congress.

I must also make clear that I consider the chairman's failure to show up today to be an affront to the House Armed Services Committee.

The FCC has attempted to assure Congress all along the way, including in the Public Notice dated September 13, 2011, that it won't permit any national security harm.

There was inequality and injustice that was done.

What does it say about the administration's commitment to ensure that people have access to their promised health benefits?

What does it say about the security that people have in their pensions?

We live in a government where the government is responsive to the people. Things can't happen in secret.

I think all of Americans should be very concerned about the process that this went through.

These benefits were wrongly taken from them and they deserve an answer.

I was very disappointed to hear that the administration has prohibited Mr. Bloom from speaking to us on the important issues of Delphi's pensions.

Mr. Bloom, it was the administration picking winners and losers.

The administration picked winners and losers where the pensions of many salaried Delphi workers were lost.

Will you commit in writing to answer these questions, as you did under oath in that hearing on June 22nd?

The 2005 BRAC Commission actually rejected this consolidation and it was proposed at that time for Massachusetts. In 1995, it was proposed. We should not keep moving these jobs around until we have a cost-benefit analysis. All we're asking…

Many times we talk about the taxpayers and saving the taxpayers money, but, unfortunately, sometimes when it comes down to parochial interests we get to the point where we say it doesn't really matter what's in the best interest of the…

I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes.

I would like to point out again that these are arbitrary numbers. Our troops in Europe pose an important asset for all of our operations in the protection of national security, including, as has been stated, training troops that go into…

I claim the time in opposition. The Acting CHAIR (Ms. Foxx). The gentleman from Ohio is recognized for 5 minutes.

We need to start moving away from the mindset in which we currently find ourselves which is detection and remediation.

I suspect you will find that the answer lies somewhere in the middle, that it is again the public/private partnership.
