We are trying to do the right thing, and I believe we are.

Government doesn't know as much about your land as you do.

EPA, as I mentioned to Senator Markey, put on its Web site it is in the process of trying to figure this out again.

And they seem to be in charge, too, quite often.

Yes. I am very familiar with your area; I spent some time with the Chairman there. There is a lot of beauty there, and I was not aware that you were singled out and honored in such a way, and I am very proud of you.

There is this idea that Government has to come in and tell you how to make your land look right and farm right.

The lengths of government, what they can do and control every aspect of American life.

We are engaged in a great power competition. This is serious business for the security of our Nation and its citizens.

Rising powers, like Russia and China, have been investing in military modernization and developing capabilities specifically targeted to contest America's overmatched capabilities.

We're pleased to welcome our distinguished witnesses: Dan Coats--we all know Dan very well--and, of course, General Ashley.

We have actually done that. It has been done now, so we can do it again.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
