This is, in my opinion, irresponsible.

The law is the law is the law. You have to implement it.

If we want to make strides in improving public health, we won't do it by regulating carbon dioxide.

The boiler MACT, the study there shows about probably 800,000 jobs at risk.

I appreciate your leadership of the agency.

We have the largest recoverable reserves in coal oil and gas of any of the countries out there.

This is irresponsible and, if followed, bad for public health.

The best way to eliminate EPA's carbon regime is through an authorization bill.

I have to say this, in all due respect, instead of sacrifice, I am afraid the EPA's budget submission is yet another what I call a fiscal bait and switch.

Within days, we saw a new tone. Forward motion was realized and the Corps staff was now on a new mission to update the Eufaula EIS.

I believe requiring my certification is unnecessary.

Cancelling the EFV does not mean the threat of anti-ship missiles was overstated.

The Marine Corps remains firmly partnered with the Navy with the ability to come from the sea rapidly to project power.

Secretary Mabus and Admiral Roughead, why are Aegis ships which are configured to carry 20 missiles only carrying 10 to 11 missiles?

A future end strength of 186,800 marines provides the country a 'middleweight' force that is forward deployed and forward engaged.

Slowing the production rate of the F-35B to allow for the responsible design and incorporation of technical adjustments was a prudent decision in light of the progress the JSF program had made to date.

According to a June 2010 Defense News article, the Aegis radar systems are 'in their worst shape ever, raising questions about the surface fleet's ability to take on its high-profile new mission next year defending Europe from ballistic…

The demand for missile defense assets within each region over the next decade will exceed supply.

I was somewhat pleased with it. One reason is that I have been a staunch supporter up here, probably the most staunch supporter, of the International Military Education and Training (IMET) program.

We are beginning to see at the mid-grade level, sort of the 8 to 10 years of service point, a slight leveling off of the retention.

I have had the opportunity, going all the way back to the fall of 2003... I think this really has to be recognized.

I am glad to hear that.

I did not want to dilute that program that I think has been very, very successful.

This is an area where government is supposed to be doing it.
