I am also grateful to Chair McCollum and her staff for their diligence and understanding.

The men and women who serve are the most precious resource that we have, and it is incumbent that we make sure that they have access to prompt medical care, childcare, and family programs no matter where they are.

I appreciate the opportunity. I just have a question I want to ask General Scobee.

I want to thank you for your support in recognizing the importance of the Reserve Special Mission Units.

I want to express my strong desire for the Air Force to use the work that has already been done

The high rates of diabetes, the higher rates of obesity is driving up healthcare costs both for Active Duty and for our veterans.

I want to urge you to use the work that has already been completed and complete this basing study in the most expeditious manner possible.

The Air Force Reserve includes units that have a designated specialized mission as well as a traditional tactical mission.

You are the defenders of freedom in this country, and we are here to try to help and support the best we can.

It is time for us to get moving on this.

We know this ultimately is going to be the decision of Ukraine and their leadership.
