Jim Inhofe

I look forward to hearing from these witnesses on these, and other, tough but important issues, which go squarely to how we arm and equip those men and women who serve their Nation so selflessly at home and abroad.

I'd like to remind my colleagues up here of something that may surprise them a little bit: We in my State of Oklahoma are in fact navigable.

The cancellation of the Armored Gun System, Comanche, Crusader, and the FCS Manned Ground Vehicle program, along with recent reports on the uncertainty of the GCV as part of the BCT Modernization program, gives me cause for concern over…

What are you doing differently to ensure that the GCV doesn't suffer the same fate as other failed programs?

Secretary McHugh and General Casey, how have the measures taken in 2009 helped to reduce the suicide rates in the Army?

The Army's strength is in its soldiers, their families, and the Army civilians who support them.

Is there disagreement and if so, what is it based on?

In the mid- to long-term, U.S. military forces must plan and prepare to prevail in a broad range of operations that may occur in multiple theaters in overlapping time frames.

The Army has reset 29 brigades worth of equipment in fiscal year 2009 and continued the reset of 13 more

What is the Army doing to address suicides among family members?

I do agree with Senator McCain on his concern over pulling the rug out from under Eastern Europe on the third site.

I'm not at all as confident as everyone else is that our F-35s are going to be on line when we say.

I disagree with Senator McCain on his statements on the C-17 and I disagree with him on the statements, his past statements on the F-22.

This is what really concerns me, is we're just not doing the job that we need to be doing to defend America.

Our lift capacity is in dire straits. We're still using those old, beat-up C-130E models that we keep losing engines on.

I think that was the right thing to do.

Building highways and bridges can provide an immediate economic stimulus and create thousands of new jobs.

To remain competitive we need access to this resource base, which will help fuel our economic recovery and create thousands of jobs.

According to the Pacific Research Institute, U.S. based oil and gas companies invested an estimated $121.3 billion from 2000 through 2007 on emerging energy technologies.

To promote clean energy you don't have to restrict or penalize other energy sources.

We know that cap-and-trade or other schemes that raise energy prices are not the solutions that America wants or needs.

We know that cap-and-trade means fewer jobs and higher energy prices, so let's focus instead on advancing issues that will put people back to work.

I support all of the above approach.

Where is global warming when you need it?

I think it would probably serve us well to see how they did that remarkable job.
